I said the same thing about Daytona USA. When I booted up a GameCube for the first time and saw PSO I was amazed, although the GC was closer hardware wise to the Dreamcast, which we had.
Grass? Trees? BIRDS?! I remember the grass in Oblivion melting dual GPU setups back in the day.
Eh the "PS5 first" angle for FF16 and the continuation of Remake underperformed, and they admitted it themselves. I think PS5/PC releases are the future for them, so they can make more money at launch with minimal porting issues.
TBH I went to school in Mansfield and they were still doing "Slave For A Day" until the mid 90s until someone pointed out it was mostly Black freshman being picked.
It was supposed to be a "fun" way to raise funds for whatever school program, and also for freshman to see a senior classroom. When your school district has a history of being one of the last districts to be forced to desegregate, though...
I feel like internal hazing probably has something to do with it too, since they mentioned it was his first week back after 6 weeks off. If he's getting to the end of the week with no arrests, and the chief is on his back about making the non-existent quota, I could see why he'd be ready to jump at any opportunity.
I've been following this case mainly because it could happen to me and, similarly, I didn't even have to do anything wrong.
I was trying to figure out which DnB artist they were trying to draw
