Less than an hour til release. Is there any hope it will be good?
>>9783 No. Go buy the first. If you already own it, go play it again. Story was fucking terrible and the map had that fucked old mmo geometry, reminded me of white knight chronicles. The only good thing was the gameplay and the gameplay loop (really solid), and the pawn builder. Can't imagine they improved the story any and they nerfed the character creator, so you better hope that playloop is tasty enough for your $80.
>>9787 >The only good thing was the gameplay and the gameplay loop (really solid) That's all a game needs really.
>>9787 >$80 do gaymers really?

>>9767 the check didn't go through
>>9767 Well, soys don't like vidya in general unless it's a 2DEEP4U walking simulator, so there's no surprise there. What >>9770 said. They didn't get paid to give it a 7/10/
Anyone that played rebirth have any thoughts? I've been trying to watch someone's let's play but the game is so boring and uninspired to me that I don't really like watching it. It looks like kingdom hearts. For example you hit boxes to open them and run around boring corridors, complete opposite of the feel of the OG with hidden treasure chests and detailed backgrounds. I really don't like the character designs, I especially find Aeris really ugly in the game. I also hate the weird dynamic between the characters and how they expect you to simp for all the female characters. But these are just limited impressions as I can't really watch much. Anyone whose actually played it or finished it have any thoughts?
>>9782 Be real honest I played this already about twenty years ago and I don't think the rebirth is worth touching. Just watch the clips on youtube. The first has so much game depth that they can only provide a quick tour of the surface of the story, and couldn't even do that properly. Literally couldn't even retell the same story with fancier graphics, had to alter it pointlessly in a way that only diminishes instead of complements or elevates. You have to think, are you the lowest common denominator? Because that's the audience for this game, whoever and as many people as they can catch using FF& as bait.
>>9788 I think you're right. The game's so bad that my post asking if anyone had played it or had thoughts about it seems like it basically killed the thread.

>>9726 >>Why do you still care about Prince of Persia in 2024 when the series died in 2008? i like the gameplay formula, parkour + combat, its very interesting and few games do it its dead now though kek kill copyright
>>9724 I talk about vidya because there's more good vidya coming out now that at any time in the past, you just have to look outside AAA and especially outside the cash cow series that try to bait you with nostalgia. Fucking City of Brass is a better Prince of Persia than any recent entry in the series, and that's not a good game by any means.

Silent Hill Anonymous 03/05/2023 (Sun) 16:38:00 No.1124 [Reply] [Last]
There is no “Other World” in the original Silent Hill and the fog world is the real world that’s already been over run by monsters and everyone has already been killed while the dark world is Hell merging with reality. All the nurses in Silent Hill have been “impregnated” with demons just like Cybil had. Lisa died because she became fully taken over by the parasitic demon while the parasite in Cybil was killed by the aglaophotis Harry had. Silent Hill 2 takes place in a completely different version of Silent Hill because the series was originally meant to be an anthology before Team Silent was pressured into making a follow up to Silent Hill 1’s story and at that point they just mixed mashed the two different concepts of Silent Hill into the confusing mess it is know for today

So Soyny is making a new handheld console that requires constant internet and can only work via remote play off a PS5 - https://archive.is/H63Pt But enough about horrible flops, what is the best handheld system? What are your favorite games?

>>9578 >xbox it's gotta be gaylo
>>9571 embarrassing. Getting second hand cringe just looking at the picture
>>9571 King.
>>9180 Sorry, don't know what else to tell you. Sounds like you got power to the backlight at least. If it were me, I'd have it open and powered up, poking with a voltmeter and scope probes while looking at the schematic, working from the power supply to the processor. Unfortunately that's about all you can do at this stage, as more often than not parts will fail in ways invisible to the human eye, they're not all packed with liquid chemicals. I'd say your next step is to either git gud with electronics plus buy that BASIC KIT that the other anon said would cost TEN WHOLE RUPLES in his country or, look for one with a broken screen or something to swap parts with, since it seems like you can at least take one apart and put it back together. Good luck.
>>2131 The Vita was a fucking mistake and the PSP could have easily taken on the 3DS. All snoy had to do was hire the cfwspics to slow down piracy so publishers would stop kvetching. Instead we got an absolute abortion of a handheld with TWO bespoke proprietary cables, a new propriety game format and a new, expensive and unreliable proprietary storage format. Keep in mind UMDs were cheap as shit to produce and held more storage than 3DS carts. Double density UMDs held more storage than psvita carts for a fraction of the cost. Before you say I'm wrong, snoy now directly pays haccers to not release exploits. They just paid out 50k to someone a few months ago.

Why did the 3d platformer genre lose popularity in the 00's? Afterwards it was mostly licensed games chasing trends and then it all stopped entirely.

Sweet Baby Inc. CEO Kim Belair Speech Urged Employees To “Terrify” Video Game Companies If they don’t give them what they want Anonymous 03/07/2024 (Thu) 02:34:50 No.9592 [Reply]
Sweet Baby Inc. CEO Kim Belair Speech Urged Employees To “Terrify” Video Game Companies If they don’t give them what they want. https://archive.md/g60ji >Sweet Baby Inc. CEO Kim Belair makes it clear the purpose is to forget about gamers entirely and terrorize video game companies in a statement found on Twitter / X. It highlights their entire philosophy in a way which shows they shouldn’t be involved in any productions. >Sweet Baby Inc. garnered attention due to its involvement with the latest Rocksteady game, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Much of the game’s content was criticized for its lack of respect towards the source material. The company has been associated with several other controversial games, including Starfield, Forspoken, Gotham Knights, Spiderman 2, and the reboot of Saints Row, which led to the closure of its development studio, Volition. A Steam user, Kabrutus, created a Steam Curator list titled “Sweet Baby Inc detected” which list tracks the games that Sweet Baby Inc is involved in and does not recommend them to followers. >Subsequently, an employee of Sweet Baby Inc, Chris Kindred, made attempts to have Kabrutus and his Steam Curator list, titled “Sweet Baby Inc detected,” removed. Kindred took to X to voice his concerns, stating, “The Steam curator harassment group, Sweet Baby Inc detected, is led by this person, kabrutusrambo. Here’s them trying to be slick so they don’t get reported. Even with the discriminatory language filed off, the group itself still fails the code of conduct.” Kindred then urged others to report the group, saying, “Anyway, report the group,” and concluded with, “And report the creator since he loves his account so much.” >Now people have found video clips of the CEO of Sweet Baby Inc, Kim Belair showing that bullying and terrorising tactics is nothing new to Sweet Baby Inc. Posting a clip from a game developers conference, X user GamesNosh exposed Kim Belair: “The Co-Founder of Sweet Baby Inc Kim Belair proudly explains the method she uses to force bosses at game studios to censor, alter, and “diversify” game projects she feels are problematic – “Terrify them” aka threaten them with the anger of the cancel culture mob.” >In the full video clip, Kim Belair makes clear that the Sweet Baby Inc. game dev philosophy is to forget about the core audience, force diversity into games, sneak it in there if necessary, and use terror tactics and threats if you don’t get your way. >Kim Belair said at the conference: “Create moments that are intentionally targeted and designed to create joy in the marginalized. They are going to appreciate this on a level that your core audience won’t, but it doesn’t mean you’re going to exclude your core audience.” >Kim Belair continued: “Also, don’t fall into this trap that I think a lot of people fall into, which is they think, “Okay, don’t worry.” We can include everyone by making this like a single default universal experience that is universally representative. Because usually, like all that means, as it did in the dating example, is that you’re aiming at your core demographic and you’re probably invisibly leaning towards the dominant societal voice, even if you don’t realize it. Um, and if you’re in development and you are part of that dominant voice, you’re like a cis-hetero white dude or just adjacent to that, do not wait until the end to call your consultants. Bring them in at the beginning.” >She added: “And instead of asking them, “Hey, is this very racist thing we did very racist or is this deeply offensive thing we did deeply offensive? Are you hurt by it?” Ask them what they want to see. Like, ask them what would thrill them, what would bring them joy. And if you have a team lead, put that request to them very, very early. If you’re a creative working in AAA, which I did for many, many years, put this stuff up to your higher-ups. And if they don’t see the value in what you’re asking for when you ask for consultants, when you ask for research, go have a coffee with your marketing team and just terrify them with the possibility of what’s going to happen if they don’t give you what you want.” >The statements by Sweet Baby Inc.’s CEO only make matters worse for the company which is already embattled in so many problems from the core audience who don’t want this nonsense in their entertainment.
