  • Is Barret wrong for leaving Marlene behind in Midgar, while he goes off to fight for the Planet?

  • Funnily enough, in-universe they've been been saying Snake looks like a crusty old guy since MGS1

    Japanese beauty standards, man

    Yes, that was hinting at his accelerated aging due to being a clone made with 70s technology but he just looks like 80s Kurt Russell

  • They also had very anime character designs that they tried to make look good in a photorealistic game and it was kind of a mixed bag. At least Dante was supposed to look older

    Jump

  • I was joking and there's nothing wrong with his face in a vacuum but he just does not give MGS2 Raiden vibes. He kinda looks like a clean-shaven Geralt in Raiden cosplay

    Speaking of cosplay, there's something about the suit that's off, like it's bought from Temu or something

  • I saw someone say he looks more like Christopher Lambert as Raiden in the first Mortal Kombat movie and it's kind of accurate

  • Sony Shuts Down Video-Game Studio Bluepoint

  • They also made the MGS HD Collection that launched on Xbox 360 and PS3 in 2011 before they were acquired by Sony and that the Master Collection versions are still based on

  • Games Are Losing The Attention War With Gambling And OnlyFans (Kotaku commenter rapidly gaining class consciousness)

    Jump

  • Why is the cover image for this story a still from the Dead or Alive 7 teaser of all things

    Attention war = OnlyFans vs video game boobs?

  • Do you think they'll finally be able to depict people sleeping under the covers in GTA 6

    Jump

  • Not to take anything away from Deadly Premonition (the 🐐) but that was only in one cutscene. The same technique has been used in Sims games since 2004 though

    Like you don't need physics, just have a big flat mesh that goes over the character model

  • Sell me on the 2010s Wolfenstein games

    Jump

  • The Old Blood is meh; it’s like meme Halloween DLC.

    I was really looking forward to The Old Blood after playing TNO to see some classic Wolfenstein tropes served a lá New Wolf but yes, it ended up being just kind of an okay DLC and the supernatural elements felt really undercooked.

    The New Colossus is oddly different tonally from the first game in a way that is hard to describe, but just not as compelling for some reason.

    I think that the election of Donald Trump and the rise of the alt-right between the two games really affected the sequel's writing. After the Nazi villains were shown in a sinister, creepy light in TNO the devs made sure to make them as stupid and pathetic as possible in the sequel. To really drive the point home, they wheel out

    a decrepit, demented Hitler to piss, shit and vomit all over himself as he shoots Ronald Reagan in the face

    The subplot with BJ's retconned racist, anti-semitic southern white trash dad also feels like another take that against American right wingers

    A large part of what made the first game so compelling was the serious, solemn way in which they depicted the horror and despair of a post-Nazi victory Europe and what made exploding them into gibs by the dozens feel so good. Turning the whole thing into some slapstick grindhouse flick just sucked all the gravitas out

  • Sell me on the 2010s Wolfenstein games

    Jump

  • The first game is really good, the second kind of sucks and the third game is tedious co-op slop. The action is still pretty good in the second game and there are some moments and setpieces that deserve to be experienced even if the overall package is much weaker

  • Sell me on the 2010s Wolfenstein games

    Jump

  • I feel like they turned all the lovable characters from the first game into cartoony, unlikeable assholes in the second. I just really did not like the vibe shift from kinda serious to ultra whacky at all

  • Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST

    Jump

  • That's why your dad gave like 20 bucks to some guy he knew to put a modchip in your PS1

    All of our PS1 Squaresoft games were burned CDs with the name of the scribbled on them. Good thing too because those bastards wouldn't release all of their coolest games in Europe because they didn't want to figure out how to also fit a Dutch translation or whatever onto the discs

    Jump

  • A kid in the 90s or the early 2000s would've had one or several new Final Fantasy titles coming out every year or every few years on different platforms. Makes it much easier to stay engaged with a property and to become a long time fan

    Jump

  • Remember when most big non-sports gaming franchises with some kind of narrative seemed to go for trilogies coming out over a period of 4-6 years during the PS2 and PS3 eras? I think it was largely the influence of movies, namely Lord of the Rings.

    I think what happened was

    1. games became too fucking huge in the PS4 era and 4-6 years was no longer enough for one game, let alone three for one team to manage
    2. some publishers decided that they wanted to turn their popular story-driven single player IPs into yearly sports game-like releases and not limit themselves to a trilogy structure (see COD and AssCreed) and/or into live services

  • PS2 games were typically made in a few years and not all of them were slop. They also didn't need as much resources, effort and manpower as building a fucking pyramid

  • I guess you could argue Deus Ex 1 and and System Shock 2 are FPS-RPG hybrids but Fallout 3 is objectively an RPG by most metrics. Maybe he only considers isometric games where you click on skeletons RPGs

    Western leaders are authoritarian and want to enact mass surveillance... except for Trump, who's fighting against the authoritarianism. Also the surveillance is to stop people from being conservative
