  • Good summary but you missed the part where Michel left Ubisoft and they 100% shitcanned the whole project.

  • Gex’s voice and lines are so iconic and specific, I hope they have every regions lines. Not having them will ruin the nostalgia for any region that’s missed.

    Plus, people who know Gex from memes and YouTube will expect the US voice & lines, so you really want to cover all your bases.

    EDIT - Oh it’s LRG, then judging by Clock Tower it’ll be the same games with some new art. Disappointing.

  • Am I the only one disappointed with how lazy this is? They put more effort into Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties than this. I have no idea why it has taken 3 years to make when it look like the original game with a translation patch running in an emulator.

    I realize they’ve animated some intros and drawn some new art and stuff, but it would have been nice to get a faithful remake like SMRPG, or like The Dragon’s Trap where they redraw everything and make it widescreen but offer you the option to return to original graphics at any time.

    If all they were going to do is QoL improvements and stuff like that, I would have preferred that they just don’t do the new animations and instead include Clock Tower PSX & Struggle Within with QoL improvements in one package.

    The way it is it’s just not enough of an improvement over the SNES original with a translation patch to be worthwhile. Which is a shame because the people most likely to buy this are the same people who know how to get the translated SNES ROM very easily.

  • That oughta hold those S.O.Bs.

  • *prrrregante

  • Yeah I mean do whatever you want I just wanted to clarify that they aren’t linked in any way other than the cost, it’s not like your employer can manage your personal account.

  • Wow what a disappointing headline. I actually gasped and was so excited, turns out it’s another hard-to-find recreation.

    I can already spend $100USD and get them from Lofty Pursuits. What I was hoping for was the original; which is what the headline said.

  • Russian & Chinese foreign influence is a well documented fact, almost every tech company publishes a transparency report on this, you can just look them up. These accounts almost exclusively push right wing politics.

    There is zero evidence of the opposite happening. That’s the difference. One is true and the other is false.

  • But those end up being the same in practice. If you have to put up a disclaimer that the info might be wrong, then who would use it? I can get the wrong answer or unverified heresay anywhere. The whole point of contacting the company is to get the right answer; or at least one the company is forced to stick to.

    This isn’t just minor AI growing pains, this is a fundamental problem with the technology that causes it to essentially be useless for the use case of “answering questions”.

    They can slap as many disclaimers as they want on this shit; but if it just hallucinates policies and incorrect answers it will just end up being one more thing people hammer 0 to skip past or scroll past to talk to a human or find the right answer.

  • I don’t know about LastPass but 1Password has the same deal and they aren’t tied to eachother, it’s not an account you create under their tenant it’s just a link you can generate that makes the 1Password for Families plan free on your account as long as your employer is paying for the corporate one.

  • Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins the movie by telling you how it ends. Well I say there are some things we don't want to know! Important things!

  • “Also you should probably put glue in your pizza cheese and eat a rock every day.”

  • I know, but the only touch optimized one is glui and it just doesn’t look good. It’s more than a skin issue too, the app is just clunky.

    I appreciate that it has so many options, but if it offered just a simplified layer similar to Delta, it would be amazing. Right now it just throws too much at you for the person who just wants to just play a game.

  • I am shocked this got approved already, and unaltered too.

    ScummVM, Provenance, Ignited and Folium are all stuck in review, and as far as I can tell this is the complete RetroArch with no changes or compromises.

    It’s also already the best PSX emulator because it doesn’t crash with external controllers and supports hi resolution.

    I just wish RetroArch in general had a better interface. The XMB interface isn’t bad on PC but on mobile it’s just so clunky.

    EDIT - They also have an Apple TV version!! I’m even more shocked.

    EDIT 2 - PPSSPP Standalone also launched! https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/ppsspp-psp-emulator/id6496972903

  • You heard him game companies. Never bother fixing a mistake, because people who live to complain will just continue to complain, and everyone else won’t care.

    Sure that’s the message you want to send?

    1. Revenue is not profit.
    2. Gaming is by far the biggest bar in that graph.

    I stand by my point.

  • Take a look at Sony’s annual reports and then get back to me. PlayStation is the engine that drives the company.

  • I think the studio closures was just the last straw. Like they spent almost $100 billion and they’ve made NOTHING. Like not one goddamn thing.

    Say what you will about Sony and Nintendo but they have output and they care about gaming because they have to, it’s the only way they make money.

    Microsoft could shutter their gaming division tomorrow and they would save money, not lose it. Whatever exec championed the buyouts for Game Pass is clearly gone or asleep at the wheel. So the end result is they own WoW, Candy Crush and CoD that print money and a bunch of franchises that haven’t seen a good release in 10+ years.

    The fact that they bought inExile, Obsidian and Bethesda and didn’t immediately start work on a Fallout 1/2 remake or an FNV sequel is evidence enough they they have no fucking clue what they’re doing. How does a company own so many studios and make no games!?

  • AliExpress isn’t the problem here. This is fake Shopify sites spun up and down in a matter of days that only exist to harvest info and payment. I’ve placed dozens of AliExpress orders, I always get what I ordered even from new stores.
