This is why I hate games that excessively use cutscenes. 60fps is for games, 30fps for films. Mixing both is jarring and bringing the gameplay down to 30 is backward for 3D games.

The best.

I never said they could scrub it off the internet. That wasn’t my point. My point was to bring into question the idea of spending 9 years working on a project that is non-profit fan stuff at best, and might well end up only being available on the dark web / torrent sites / sub-legal places. Not the best exposure for a…

Thanks, you made my point better than I managed to. Why work on a project for 9 years when there is a very real risk of it only being available on dodgy, sub-legal websites?

I’m only commenting because of what happened with that Metroid game this week. And also because I’m somewhat incredulous about these people spending 9 years working on someone else’s IP. “Oh lawyers are coming” posts turned out to be justified in the case of the Metroid remake, so why not here?

But that didn’t stop them squashing the Metroid 2 remake this week, 1 day after it was released. I don’t understand the difference.

But this clearly uses a ton of graphics from GBA Pokemon games.

Condescending make you feel good?

I appreciate that, and it’s kind of nice. But this thing took 9 years. Nine. Years. That's a big part of your life to learn how to do something professionally. Imagine what you could do in 9 years if you applied yourself. I make games as a hobby and after 6 months of studying code in the evenings I had a working…

It’s not a C&D order but they have demanded the download link is removed from all sources.

Why kill the Metroid 2 thing then? That’s about as harmless a use of their IP as it gets.

I make games in my spare time, but I wouldn’t expect to get a job by taking this to a job interview and saying “hey I spent years remixing Nintendo’s Pokemon assets into a fan game”. I make my own stuff and I feel like that’s a better use of my time. I could be wrong, that’s just my opinion. I downloaded this thing…

Yeah good point. It’s weird though, I learned to code in C over around 5-6 months. I’m not a pro by any means, but I’ve made a few little games in my spare time. This took these people years to make. They must really love Pokemon.

That’s interesting seeing as how Nintendo killed the fan made Metroid 2 remake after about 1 day of it being online (after being in development for about 5 years). Pokemon is a much bigger and more lucrative franchise than Metroid so it strikes me as odd that they’d blindeye Pokemon fan games but not a game that uses…

Seeing as how Nintendo will kill this in the time it takes me to write this comment, I genuinely wonder why the people who made this didn’t invest all that time into making their own original game, which they could actually sell. As soon as Nintendo sees this they will crush these guys’ hard work, so I kinda think...…

DF is unquestionably the deepest and most ambitious simulation ever attempted in a video game. It took me many attempts to get into, but when I finally cracked it, I discovered a game so mind-meltingly impressive that my own mind feels insignificant compared to its processes.

You’re right about those games’ stories, and JRPG stories in general. Sometimes, occasionally, a JRPG can do it, though. Chrono Trigger and Earthbound are good examples of great stores told brilliantly.

Ha, well the leading girl’s short shorts reminded me of Kaory from Akira and her inappropriate-bike-riding costume but yeah it’s not the most practical. I mean the girl on the far right has a long skirt but that’s just as bad unless she was planning to ride side-saddle.

Top image looks like an all-girl gang from Akira. I like it. It’s like The Warriors crossed with Akira.

Hey Konami!
