It’s crazy how updated lighting can make games from this era look so much better. I’ll take this over an Unreal Engine demo any day.

I’m bothered by how the hair above his headband is moving. It looks nice, but that’s not at all how hair actually moves, if it’s being pulled down by a headband. lol

They did a pretty good job keeping the important parts of the action in the area left after the cropping. I can see how some people might not like it, but it looks like they actually put some thought into it.

That thing is almost the exact size of that man’s torso... O_O

Oh, man. That boot sound was lovely. Kind of took me back to the first time I booted up my Xbox 360. It sounds like you’re about to get into something new and exciting.

Well, I’d never heard it compared to ‘06, but I’m not going to take my chances unless I can get it on a good sale. Yeah, Sonic’s physics engine hasn’t been great in a while, and I do not like how they basically make it an on-rails auto-run in his high speed sections. Whatever they do, I hope they give me the same kind…

I didn’t even bother getting Forces, because I heard it was so bad. It tailored to the part of the Sonic fanbase that I am not part of. Hopefully, whatever they make, it’s good.

I played Generations, and while I loved it, and it does a lot of what I’m mentioning here, it does have that problem of Sonic sometimes being so fast that the game is practically on-rails. I also want a new story, not something built around an excuse to have a nostalgia trip.

I want a 3D Sonic game that’s as good as I remember the Adventure games being, but not as bad as they actually were. Take all the good stuff from those games, and find ways to modernize the gameplay without making it practically on-rails like some of the most recent entries.

I’ve owned a GBC, GBA, DS, DS Lite, 3DS, 3DS XL, *new* 3DS XL, and a Switch. Out of all of them, the 3DS line probably got most of my playtime. I had so many fun experiences on that thing, and that time of my life was full of friends who were still gaming regularly. So, there was never a shortage of Street Passes. I…

Exactly, I don’t know why a lot of white families perpetuate these false family histories. However, that doesn’t mean these people are being intentionally dishonest. As with me, they more than likely just think this, because they had no reason to doubt it before. I’ve actually encountered several people in my life…

But it is different. There is a difference between truly believing you are something, because you’d been fed the same nonsense from your parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles for years; and people who intentionally deceive people into having them believe they’re someone they aren’t. How you can’t see that is you…

I just went over why it’s different in a multi paragraph comment that you apparently didn’t read. You don’t want to listen to a perfectly logical explanation (seriously, a fuck ton of white people get told by their relatives that they’re part native, and never question it). You just want to think what you think, and…

What I’m saying is that she didn’t think she was pretending, which is why I said we need to learn the difference between what Dolezal and Krug did, and what my family and likely Warren’s family did. Also, you seem to be getting really stuck on the “Indian” term. There’s a reason I put it in quotes, and it’s because I…

So, Elizabeth Warren’s situation is something I relate to. I’m a white guy from Texas who grew up in a small town. All of my life, I heard family stories of being “Indian”. I was told that my great great grandmother on my grandmother’s side was “full blood”. Growing up, I had no reason to believe otherwise. I just…

The people mad at Pokimane are stupid. I’ve never watched her, because I’m not big into watching ‘tubers or streamers, and this is making me not want to go further than I already have. This is some next level dumbassery.

Can we talk about how good the original Assassin’s Creed still looks in that screenshot?

The only real difference I see is that they toned down the specularity. Textures aren’t as unnecessarily shiny. There are more smooth, matte textures, and fans are used to more reflectiveness and bump mapping (shiny armor with a lot of drawn on scratches and grime using the color map). It looks like they focused the…

This alone isn’t going to stop racism. However, being anti-racist means actively challenging racism wherever it is. I hate to break it to you, but a car that has the confederate battle flag on top of it, honks the first twelve notes of “Dixie”, and is named after the most prominent confederate general is racist. This…

I wish Switch had analog triggers for racing games.
