I have seen a few AAA games where theyve changed the logo and/or title to that of an expansion to advertise a DLC rather than the main game, sometimes even going so far as changing the whole storefront of the main game to that of an expansion rather than retaining the original page. The 20% off, 50% off style banners…

I get the impression the series peaked with GT3 and its been gradually downhill since then.

Usually thats code for the production line is worn out and its too expensive to replace it so we will do something new.

C64 Ghostbusters was a classic!

Finally hearing the motivation for the assassination. The mother of Tetsuya Yamagami had given all her money to the Unification church, aka The Moonies, and been forced into bankruptcy. Tetsuya mistakenly believe that Shinzo Abe was a senior member of the church. The church has confirmed the relationship with the…

Same

It sounds like it was an experiment to see how much free stuff they had to give away to get the most cost efficient return in returning paying players.

Its totally CPU bottlenecked as the engine can only use one CPU thread, it doesnt gain any performance from multi-core processors and will max out while only using a quarter of an 8-core processors potential. It runs all GPU via the processor introducing extra overhead and limiting GPU performance to that of the CPU.…

FF7: Resurrection

Its horribly optimised, a resource hog that gobbles up all available memory and runtime and runs like shit not taking advantage of hardware acceleration. But developers love it as its platform independent. They only need to develop a game in it once rather than having to port it to multiple platforms.

They changed the story of and the outcome of the first part that there is no way the rest of the story can be described as a remake anymore. It bears as much resemblance to FF7 as The Rebuild of Evangelion films bear to the Original series/movie duology.

Probably will just use the video game element for the first 30 minutes and will then follow a real racing season never mentioning the game again outside advertising banners/product placement.

PS2 native resolution was 480p and 480i (as used by NTSC TV’s) but some PAL games had a menu option allowing higher resolutions such as the 576p used by European TV’s and which was later became the native resolution of DVD players, allowing PAL countries to get a better picture than NTSC regions.

One other benefit with Japanese/US games in PAL was they tended to be the last to be localized so would have bug fixes for glitches/crashes and another polish of the script correcting typos/mistranslations that the US version lacked.

The phrase “You are only as good as your last success” isnt a new one.

Looks like an Outer Worlds clone with a bit of Mass Effect resource/exploration thrown in. Visuals looked really flat for some reason, and who knew outer space was really white.

Really not a fan of the second film. Best work is probably original film and then the original GITS:SAC.

The series and films have always been existential on an individual level, exploring where man ends and machine begins, whether conscious is the same as a soul and we are more than the sum of our memories. The second part of this series did indeed take it to another level by questioning whether the reality we…

Essentially the idea is that everyone’s conscious is living in their own personalized fantasy world designed like a daydream to keep them satisfied and compliant so that in the real world which their subconscious occupies everyone is able to get along and work together in a harmonious world. It tries to allude to this…

Baseball cards were aimed at adults, they did come in packs of Cigarettes afterall.
