I can’t wait to play Elden Ring 2 when it’s made by Nintendo because Elden Ring used summoning and now only runs at 12 fps.

FerretyFever0,

Nintendo also owns the rights to platformers, racing games, and rpgs. Tough luck, that's just how it is.

Valmond,

NPC dialogs? Owned by Nintendo too.

Atherel,

Hey listen!

ShaggySnacks,

Did you pay for that parent use?

Or ‘love hotels’. You want to rent a room by the hour, Mario gets his cut.

Anivia,

If it was made by Nintendo (not Gamefreak) it would actually be optimized

CubitOom,
@CubitOom@infosec.pub avatar

If by optimized you mean removing most details and adding a cartoon filter over it.

Terrible legal practices aside.

glitchdx,

Nintendo deserves a lot of shit for their business decisions, but not for their art directions. windwaker and sunshine still look good to this day by simply appling higher resolutions and some anti aliasing. No game with “realistic graphics” has ever stood the test of time.

Hahahahahahaha

Auli,

Which ones still look good a decade later.

vaultdweller013,

Shadow of the Colossus is what 20 years old? It’s pretty much as realistic as the PS2 could handle and still looks decent.

@CubitOom@infosec.pub avatar

You can’t use logic here, it’s a waste of time. They already made up their minds and even assigned a maliciously litigious multibillion dollar corporation to their internal identity.

The best response is to point and laugh.

glitchdx,

the fuck is wrong with you

I’ve spent hardly any money on that game. I did the first 20 bucks. Then a 15 to get a tiny mining ship to help get in-game money. But I wouldn’t have even gotten it if it wasn’t for my partner REALLY liking the “game.”

I might like it too… if it actually worked and every bug I’ve ever encountered being perfect for setting all my progress to zero or even backwards. Because you have to buy supplies to do a mission.

So fuck that. I’m not playing it until I can make progress- which will be never.

It’ll be released when the original backer’s grandchildren have kids 😂

TheMinions,

My old boss was a backer back when he had a young child.

That child is now in high school.

I remember hearing this joke in 2020.

brsrklf,

Joke?

Gerudo, do games w Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it'

You know, when they mentioned 8k textures 10 years ago, I laughed because it was so overshooting gaming standards that it was laughable. Now I’m think they will be just on track when it actually launches.

brsrklf,

By the time they launch, they’ll have a game with 8k textures and everyone else will be releasing games for Star Trek’s holodeck.

Scam Shitizen.

I guess if it’s any consolation, our real world space efforts are also largely even more behind schedule than usual, thanks Elon.

All I really wanted was SQ42 back when I supported it on Kickstarter. With my 20 bucks there’s no regret, but it’s quite funny where things have gone since then.

I install the latest alpha once every year and am both amazed and disappointed.

I don’t expect SQ42 to be released before 2030 and I do expect it to be a buggy, unoptimized mess when it finally arrives.

I’ve been thoroughly entertained all those years, though.

I got no sympathy for anyone that is disappointed and continues to "pledge" to this "game". I mean hell a few years ago they got me and I "pledged" $200 for a ship that I may or may not still have. but then afterwards I felt like a rube.

So I get it, I fell for it once, but still no sympathy for anyone that continues to do so.

vithigar,

I’m in a similar boat. Pledged but it’s been years since I gave them money and I’m not really following it closely anymore. Can’t say I ever felt like a rube though, backing a crowdfunded project is always a gamble to some degree, and that money was so long ago that any impact on my situation from having it or not has long since faded.

I’m a little disappointed in the date potentially being pushed back, but it’s not like I marked it on my calendar or anything. If they had said nothing and the date just slipped by I probably wouldn’t even notice if no one else brought it up.

I’ll play S42 if/when it comes out, and probably even enjoy it, but I’m not chomping at the bit.

People continuing to give them additional money now are simply deranged though.

Color me surprised. I still think this whole thing is a big scam, like a money laundering scheme or some grift.

If you look into the history of Chris Roberts you’ll know it’s not a scam. Roberts is one of the few creatives I’d say actually needs an executive board to hold him back, because he’ll never stop and actually finish something.

I don’t think there’s a single project Roberts has finished on his own accord. He has always been made to finish.

I remember them announcing that SQ404 was entering a “polishing” phase in late 2023.

At that point and to this day, they failed to finalise a flight model, develop an armour/shield system and implement engineering gameplay.

Arguably these are critical elements for a release with space sim gameplay. Although if SQ404 does release, I think it will be 30 hours of Wing Commander The Movie level cut scenes (space bulldozer) and script, with bored sounding Hollywood actors counting the seconds till they can leave Chris Roberts’ mocap studio.

Inside Chris Roberts’ Mocap Studio:

Roberts: Hehehe. Hey, Mark! You know how I came up with the Vanduul? Hehe.

Hamil: No, how?

Roberts: Ehehe. Vandals to Vanduul! Get it? Hehehe. Pretty smart, right? Hehehe.

Hamil: Very original.

Roberts: Did you know the Vandals were a Germanic tribal grouping that raided the Roman Empire? Bet you didn’t know that! Hehehe.

Hamil: I am in awe of your creativy!

Roberts: I know, right! Hehehe.

Ok Mark, enough farting around. Pretend you are riding a space bulldozer!

Tar_alcaran,

I think it will be 30 hours of Wing Commander The Movie level cut scenes

It never existed!

Hond, do games w Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it'

Since i saw that gameplay footage which was released like somewhere in the last 5 years its all i can think about when Sq42 is in the news again. Until that point i just hoped that maybe somehow someday an unpolished but interesting game will come out. But that footage looked so unfun and ass after ~10 years of development i lost all hope.

muhyb, do games w Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it'

We’ll see Shenmue 9 before Star Citizen’s release.

What an insane and unprecedented surprise.

Xed, do games w Former Pokémon Company head lawyer says yeah, those latest Nintendo patents are a bit much, aren't they

Nintendo got the big money for those lawyers

squaresinger, do games w Former Pokémon Company head lawyer says yeah, those latest Nintendo patents are a bit much, aren't they

Now only someone has to dare to stand up to Nintendos lawyers. Not an easy feat.

zrst,

Eh, we shouldn’t rely on the system to fix the system.

The only way to fight back is to fight back, either civilly or uncivilly.

Also, this is why games cost what they cost. So the useful idiots spending money can have their money used against them.

squaresinger,

You want to start a violent revolution over Nintendo filing bogus patent claims?

zrst,

You’re a special kind of ignorant if you think that’s the only reason.

mnemonicmonkeys,

Nintendo’s patent lawyers should be reported to the bar association over this. These most recent patents are atrociously bad and could probably get the lawyers sanctioned

squaresinger,

And the patent office too.

There really should be more oversight with the patent process.
