Too bad, it was such a good fit.

NuXCOM_90Percent, do games w Remedy replacing Bowie song from Alan Wake over 'licensing'

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.

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.

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.

Amazing! Had no idea. Happy to have this out after so many 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 I said, ‘Suzette Monet.’

🤔

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.

Someone update the wiki!!!

Benson explained that because “the various projects that I am affiliated with in my career are family-based, children-based,” voice acting director Kris Zimmerman suggested that she go with a pseudonym.

That’s gotta be the stupidest thing I ever heard. Just about every voice actor does adult Video Games and kids movies. Nobody cares.

Also she’s been on the IMDb credits for the metal Gear games as EVA for like years

fmstrat,

Keep in mind, 2004.

She was not credited as Jodi Benson for years.

Good for them, fuck Sony

JackDark, do games w Death Stranding gets surprise Xbox Series X release

It’s interesting that it specifically mentions the Series X. My understanding is that anything released on Series X must also run on the Series S.

elgordino,

Yeah, I think this is just an oversight. It says X and S on the store page.

rtxn,

It’s because xbox’s naming scheme is fucking stupid.

This is great news. Death Stranding is in my all time top 10 so highly recommend it to anyone tempted on Xbox.

I bought it last year but I abandoned it after only a few hours. I have to give it another chance.

Honestly the first few hours are a bit of a chore but keep going.

Death Stranding is one of my favorite examples of how many ideas are out there to make games out of without resorting to making a game loop revolve around violence.

Entropywins,

I don’t know I violently fell very often in that game…

chakan2,
@chakan2@lemmy.world avatar

Eh…I struggled through the second half…it wasn’t worth it. So many convoluted cut scenes to tell you what the last convoluted cut scene just said.

lowleveldata,

The delivering part is actually fun tho. The cut scenes are confusing but they don’t really take that long so it’s fine for me.

chakan2,
@chakan2@lemmy.world avatar

Really? That scene where you’re lost on the beach was at least 45 minutes. It may have been hours…I’d get to the next part, the cut scene would start and Id put up with it for 5 minutes then go mow the grass or something. That was painful to get through.

lowleveldata,

Well ya that was really bad. But it was just that 1 time (also it’s with the credit roll) so I’m going to let it slide. I also started reading a book at that part tho.

PunchingWood,

I recently tried it and only got through the first chapter before giving up, it’s just not fun to me.

wrekone,

Same. I think i could have enjoyed the gameplay but the horror aspect and overall vibe was too offputting.
