That's like, 95% of games "journalists" these days.

I'm not saying they deserve to lose their job if they don't learn the new tools, I'm just saying technology isn't going to wait because some people get mad about it, you know?

I personally love the look of old hand drawn animation compared to the new computer-made stuff. But there is no denying that the pay-to-work-effort ratio is drastically better for animators now because of computers. Animators that learned the new tools don't have to work as much as they used to before computers, especially if comething needed changes, and thus get better pay for the amount of work they have to do. Same idea with farmers when tractors were invented, many situations where the same idea applies.

And the thing about art is that there will literally always be a market for human created art. Even if people have to pay extra for it, they will. Real human artists will never not exist.

Good point. Kinda like the animators at animation studios that refused to move to the computer for their work, where are they all now? As technology progresses, people eother adapt or get left behind.

EDit: Release price at $150 USD, this is a massive rip off.

This has a neat design, but only having the same Atari games all Atari products have been launching with makes it pretty valueless IMO, especially in comparison to other products like the R36S which is only like $40 USD and plays everything up to PS1/N64 easily. It might not have the bells and whistles this one does, but for $40 thats hard to beat. Also the R36S can easily fit in your pocket.

Not including the multiplayer mode would be an immense L. I get the game for free since I backed the Remake of the original on Kickstarter, I wouldn't even install the game if the multiplayer isn't included.

"Nah." Pretty lame moment, honestly. Big let down IMO, because the rest of the game was fantastic.

Hopefully they went in and fixed some of the jank, because oh boy is the original janky. Also hopefully they kept multiplayer functionality.

Not sure on the art style, it seems like a kinda lazy half-implementation of PBR lighting but the art style seems to clash being a bit on the cartoonier side. Gives everything a turbo plastic look.

I hate this new trend of multiplayer games only supporting teams of three, and seeing only 3 players in this trailer basically confirms for me that it inly supports 3.

Guess I can only have two friends. Thanks gaming industry.

Honestly, this is probably ole Prigozhin getting a last laugh in. Again.

I just can't let him go, he was like the cashcow of NCD. NCD without him just isnt the same.

Oh please, Putin writes his own ineffective and wrong puff-pieces, he doesn't need my help on as insignificant of a platform as Lemmy.

Who's going to be an Apologist for a nation that is in year 3 of their special operation meant to last only 3 days? Lol.

Then when will Sony stop paying studios to not port their game to platforms other than PlayStation, regardless of time gate? This has been Sony's playbook since the beginning of their gaming venture, I don't see them stopping any time soon. Its entirely how they gained such a big market share and keep it. People buy consoles because of the exclusive games.

Nobody would be buying a Switch if I could buy Nintendo games on literally any other console. They would be guaranteed to be running way better than they do on Switch.

Ill be real, it being less than an hour, I am assuming this was either a miscommunication or something that was already planned and there wasn't enough time to tell all the troops about the deal yet.

Still quite noncredible though.

That title seems like it is intended to sound extremely derogatory / condescending

The only thing impressive about AC Shadows is that Ubisoft thinks its going to save them from bankruptcy.

In most countries? I mean, its not legal in the USA or any country that adheres to its DMCA. The DMCA has a specific rule that says that any method of circumventing, altering, or otherwise removing the DRM from content is illegal with the exception of libraries that must do it to access the content, or if the rights holder has given permission, which they literally will never ever do.

Got that Mental Health Improvement Bug lol

It will probably have even worse performance though.

As a fan of Morrowind, I don't want them to touch it for the same reason I don't want 343 er.... Excuse me... Halo Studios (literally changed their name entirely to try and reset bad reputation lol) to do a remake of Halo Combat Evolved. And for the same reason I dislike the Silent Hill 2 Remake.

They will try to "modernize" the game to make it appeal to "the wider modern audience," and that just means they will ruin it by completely changing it.

Morrowind is already pretty much perfect as it is, and literally only needs some minor tweaks to OpenMW and a graphical update to be improved. But they're going to think it means they need to touch literally everything; every dialogue box, every quest item placement, all of it. All that stuff that does not need to be changed at all.

I feel like something about this should be incredibly illegal, since it basically amounts to Tencent trying to sidestep every other investor in the company to gain total ownership of the valuable IPs.

I have the same annoyance with people calling Lunacid a "King's Field-like." Like, if anything Lunacid is closer to Shadow Tower, NOT King's Field. Even the music is what one would expect from a Shadow Tower soundtrack if the original game even had a soundtrack.

"Classic PS2 Racing games like Midnight Club"

Wait until the author of this article finds out that Tokyo Extreme Racer actually existed like 5 years before the PS2 came out lol
