Chet_Awesomelad, do gaming w Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's director wants series vets and newbies alike to be surprised by its twist and turns, seeing the remake as more than 'just a callback'
@Chet_Awesomelad@kbin.social avatar

I'm still unreasonably mad that they marketed the first game as a remake - even literally titling it 'FF7 Remake' - and then it turns out it isn't a remake at all, it's some poorly-written Kingdom Hearts nonsense about how bad it is to be restricted to telling the story you're fated to tell and how you need to break free from the shackles of destiny. I can't imagine a bigger "fuck you" to fans of the original game. If they hated the idea of having to remake the original story so much, then they should have just not made it!

It should have been called Reimagination to set expectations for existing fans. FF7 original is probably my favorite game of all time (tie with FF6) and I still did not play Remake (lost interest waiting too long and then asking price on Steam is 80 Euros, fuck you SquareEnix!).

But you know, I am not entirely opposed to changes in story and character handling, if its done well. They even changed up the battle system. To me this is an opportunity to re-live the game, to experience it with new perspective and see details I could not before. If it was exactly the same game with better graphics, that's just playing the same game again. But the Remake... ahem, I meant Reimagination, is different. And you know what, I kinda like this idea. But off course, I still did not play and don't know how bad it is. And oh god, I hope they don't change the important story line in part 2... this would be a huge fuck.

TwilightVulpine,

It would have been nice to have a proper Remake but this is not bad per se, though I'm not a fan of how much it's being dragged out, and that Vincent and Cid still won't be playable still.

Kolanaki, do gaming w Japanese games are kicking ass on PC so far this year

Can’t vouch for performance or technical stuff on PC, but I was checking out Lost Judgment on PS+ after hearing a lot about the Yakuza series and I’m loving it. It’s kinda like Shenmue, but with real, good combat and not QTEs. Or a Japanese GTA with all the extra side stuff you can do as you wander around the neighborhoods the game takes place in. I definitely want to check out the others in the series now.

Infinite looks just as good, but I am probably going to go backwards because I am not sure if I would like the new turn based combat system. I like the more Sifu-ish combat.

I think it helps that theyre finally bringing high profile games to PC while the tide is still high, as opposed to trickling out a single game here and there.

Computerchairgeneral, do gaming w Spec Ops: The Line's sudden removal from Steam baffles its director: 'Why has this happened?'

An issue with the soundtrack is the only thing that makes sense, but unfortunately I don't know if 2K would be willing to spend the money to renew the license and keep the game on Steam. At least it's still for sale on GOG, like the article mentions, and it's eighty percent off.

Zahille7,

Thank you

Computerchairgeneral,

No problem. Unfortunately, looks like GOG had to delist it as well. Seems the only way to play it now is through a physical copy and Xbox backwards compatibility.

BurningnnTree, do gaming w MSI demos a monitor that gives you an AI helping hand in League of Legends and it might stretch the boundaries of what's considered fair

I think products like this are inevitable, although I’m surprised that MSI is trying to be at the forefront of it. It’s weird that a company that sells esports equipment is also going to sell equipment for cheating.

SuiXi3D, do gaming w CD Projekt narrative director declares Cyberpunk 2077 'just a warm-up' as work kicks off on the sequel
@SuiXi3D@kbin.social avatar

Yes, let’s blame all the early issues with the game on the narrative director. 🙄

I don’t think anyone blames the story or the narrative director, I’m just leery about starting up the hype train again.

modus, do games w This fan-made HD PC port of Zelda: Link's Awakening is so cool I can't believe Nintendo hasn't taken it down yet

I created a torrent file for this game. Does anyone know a good place to post it?

Destraight, do games w 'There's almost nobody left': CEO of Baldur's Gate 3 dev Swen Vincke says the D&D team he initially worked with is gone, due to Hasbro layoffs

They are owned by Hasbro? Why?

Kakaofruchttafel,

Larian Studios is not owned by anyone. The Wizards of the coast team that Larian worked with has been laid off

krakenx,

TSR, which was the company that originally made D&D got bought by Wizards of the Coast, which made Magic the Gathering. Then Wizards got bought by Hasbro.

Every product you love has been acquired by a large company that got bought by a larger company and then turned to shit. Until the government stops blocking mergers and acquisitions, this trend will continue.

EssentialCoffee,

Let’s stop pretending T$R was a bastion of consumer values.

IDK, I think this take is more “It went from bad to worse” rather than “TSR was a bastion of consumer values”.

Teodomo,

Neon, do games w This fan-made HD PC port of Zelda: Link's Awakening is so cool I can't believe Nintendo hasn't taken it down yet

anyone got the Link?

Sirico,

No Links just ZeldaJokes aside, Itch has a warning on the integrity of this.

optissima,

Likely a tip by Nintendo as legal collects themselves

b9chomps, do gaming w Armello studio lays off over half its staff and 'indefinitely' pauses development on its ongoing early access game because 'almost all funding and investment has evaporated from the videogame industry
@b9chomps@beehaw.org avatar

For anyone who.ließ the setting, check out the Anime Spacebattleship Yamato 2199. It’s fairly recent and there’s an older one as well. This game is highly inspired by it.

QuantumSparkles, do games w Bayonetta creator Hideki Kamiya says 'It would be a disaster' if he ever collaborated with Hideo Kojima or Yoko Taro: 'It doesn't work like in Dragon Ball'

Did he not already collaborate with Taro when Platinum made Automata?

@all-knight-party@kbin.run avatar

He's not involved in any of the credits for the game, that I can tell. His studio did it, but it doesn't mean he was a decision maker for the design.

Melina, do gaming w Gabe Newell on why game delays are okay: 'Late is just for a little while. Suck is forever.'
@Melina@hexbear.net avatar

Sick of hearing about this this loser, go away already

odelik,

How did Gabe Newell offend you?

The dude has been a bastion of how to run a company that delights its end-users and doing their best to run a company ethically. A staunch group of people that believe in right-to-repair as well as believing in modding and community growth of games.

Yes there’s issues on the publisher/developmer side of things, however Valve constantly works with studios to help mitigate these pain points and on-board to their platform.

@odelik @Melina valve's consumer focused service is pretty gold standard. You can't find anyone else who comes close. That's why they are so dominant.

socialpankakemix, do games w 'For fun and challenge:' The team that ported Jak and Daxter to PC has done the same for Jak 2

I installed the first one but never got around to paying it cause I beat the game so many times but it’s been forever since I played jak 2 or 3 so I’m much more interested in this.

Pirky,
@Pirky@lemmy.world avatar

I played through the first one on OpenGOAL a few weeks ago and it was great. It even supports 1440p ultrawide. Would recommend.

Renacles, do games w 'This is only the beginning': Metal Gear Solid fans lose their minds as David Hayter returns to voice Solid Snake in a new teaser

I hope this means we can get a sequel for Metal Gear Rising, Platinum games is still doing the same kind of game after all.
