Chronographs, do games w Secret actor behind Metal Gear Solid 3’s EVA revealed after 20 years

Jodi Benson

ytsedude,

If you’re like me, you might not recognize her by name, but she is Ariel in The Little Mermaid and Barbie in Toy Store.

Watching some old MGS3 cutscenes, I can hear it. There’s no way I would’ve guessed it without knowing, but you can hear a little of Ariel in EVA’S voice.

Thanks. Opening up that site and being greeted with “we share your info with 800+ companies” made me turn around so fast.

So she asked me, ‘What was your dog’s name growing up?’

And then she emptied her bank account, having just learned the final security question answer.

So she asked me, ‘What was your dog’s name growing up?’ and I said, ‘Suzette Monet.’

Amazing! Had no idea. Happy to have this out after so many years.

Getting rid of Barbie and keeping Black Mirror. The headline seems incredibly weird to me.

Probably preferential licensing. Black Mirror is still an active development with them.

Yeah I suspect they own the remaining titles. So there’s no cost to keeping them on there. I was also really surprised they keep swinging at the concept, considering how tepid the reception was beyond the original internet hype for Bandersnatch. Which makes sense, people don’t watch movies to actively be ready to press a button on short notice, you don’t exactly sit down on the sofa to go “Oh I know, how about 1,5h of QTE threat?”.

It’s a very cool concept, but one that targets the wrong audience, basically.

delnac, do gaming w The ‘JRPG’ label has always been othering

I don’t think his position is reasonable. JRPG does describe an RPG subgenre, just like CRPG or ARPG do. They have specific formats, structures and tropes that they all adhere to religiously.

He also omits the fact that not all RPGs coming out of Japan are called that. Once they stray enough from the trope of the genres, they are no longer included in it. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck…

Finally, acting as if people have a racist or discriminatory slight against those games because of the term… I don’t think I’ve ever seen people do that, other than disliking the general style and anime aesthetic which is entirely fair?

I don’t get him.

barsoap,

Also not all JRPGs are developed in Japan, and not all RPGs developed in Japan are JRPGs.

It just happened that the subgenre started out in Japan.

Yet another reason that copyright really needs to be revamped hardcore. You should not be able to retroactively revoke a license in that way and the entire idea of yeah I license you to be able to use this for x amount of years is ridiculous to me either you can use the Media or you can’t.

Sucks and I definitely remember (15-ish years ago?) thinking that was such a perfect fit for one of my all time favorite vibes games (with okay-good gameplay). But I also trust Remedy to have replaced it with a solid song.

Which is the best case scenario when it isn’t a music group that genuinely loves games (shout out to Poets of the Fall/Old Gods of Asgard). As opposed to whatever nonsense happens with tv shows like Scrubs.

Another TV show that was famous for its amazing soundtrack that had subsequently been changed and butchered is Skins.

I wonder if they'll replace it with an original song, like the music they did for Alan Wake 2. Either way, if playing Remedy games over the years has taught me anything, it's that Sam Lake (or his team, at least), has an excellent taste in music.

Too bad, it was such a good fit.

That copyright can be inherited is one of the atrocious fuckups we let happen.

So first thing I notice was the top 1/3rd of the page being a blank space.

Then I remembered I had an adblocker.

That said, I rarely ever visit the website, but it looks like every generic blog/news theme format I’ve seen in the past 10 years or so lol. Never change a winning team, but it’s nothing to write home about to be honest.

chris,

What?! They have very unique squiggles and bright colors! No one else is doing that.

I really don’t get the logic of redesigns like this or The Verge. Was the design team just told, “traffic is down make it look new so we can post a blog about it”?

kate, do gaming w [Polygon site redesign] Welcome to the next era of Polygon! We made it for you.

i don’t get it, it looks as generic as every other blog i’ve been to in a while. not that that’s a bad thing, i guess

It’s weird how little identity this has now, visually. The previous design was quite striking, now it looks easily confused for something else.

Maybe this works better with screen readers though since it’s just black text on white background in simple text blocks.

kate,

they’re owned by some company that owns a bunch of blogs, right? maybe this is testing a new look for all of them

It looks indistinguishable from every other tech site.

Huh, so now it’s the verge, but less unique and creative. Not to disparage anyone doing redesigns, it’s a valiant effort.
