Tech Jesus had a video about this recently too. I’ll stay far away from Asus

Chainweasel, (edited )

I think Gamers Nexus also did a video on it recently.

Edit: I’m an idiot and I just recently started watching GN so I had no idea it was the same channel 🤷‍♂️

WhiteHotaru,

Louis picked it up from Gamers Nexus, as he says in the video.

Fermion,

Tech Jesus is a colloqial name for Steve Burk of Gamers Nexus because of his hairstyle resembling old depictions of Jesus.

KryptoSynth,

I believe Steve did a video on it as well recently. Fortunately, looks like I dont own any Asus devices.

I believe also Tech Jesus did a video too. Lots of stuff going on with this.

DAMunzy,

GN too!

Chef_Boyardee,

I forget the channel, but this guy with long dark hair and a goatee covered this issue.

slurpinderpin,

Tech Jesus = GamersNexus

All hail Steve!

DAMunzy,

I’ve known about GN for years and with everyone talking about Tech Jesus I thought I’d have to look up a new tech reviewer. Never heard him referenced as TJ before but I can see it. Such pretty hair!

Tech Jesus he mentions he spoke to Louis Rossman about this in his video. So it kinda makes sense Louis would also make a video about it.

frezik,

Gamers Nexus is killing it over the past few years. So many shitty companies taken down.

Breezy,

Yeah, that video made me switch out the motherboard I was planning on buying for my next build

There’s 3 days left for the kickstarter for anyone that wants to back this.

EvilBit, (edited )

EVERYONE PLEEEEEASE BACK THIS!

First off, it’s a sequel (by the original creators) to a game that clearly helped inspire Mass Effect as well as some of the greatest game designers ever. Second, it’s being made without any of the modern live service, microtransaction, evil tricksy EULA manipulations, and other bullshit plagues of recent gaming. THIRD, the art and music are lovingly hand-crafted and build off of one of the most charming, memorable, and musically brilliant games of all time. AND FOURTH, i want an Xbox port. We’re so close! Only $23k left!!!

+1

The people that matter have gotten paid anyway, unless of course the publisher steal from them too, which happens from time to time, see Bethesda and Mick Gordon.

magic_lobster_party,

And the studio will be shut down either way regardless if the game was a success or not. See Hi Fi Rush.

onlinepersona,

These big game publishers and studios really aren’t giving people a reason to pay for stuff. Pay for it:

  • it doesn’t belong to you
  • it comes with malware aka "anticheat"
  • the dev team is fired even if it’s successful
  • sequels are canceled

Seriously, what’s the point of paying them?

Thankfully the talent still exists, so they might move on to other places, do their own thing, or leave game dev altogether.

Gamedev is an extremely toxic career, and it has been for a very long time. I’m glad people are finally starting to at least somewhat care, if only for the studios themselves.

boatsnhos931,

I like the cut of your jib

Mango,

Then I be happy.

Remember that other sequel with puppets?

Or the one with the CGI chipmunks?

I hope this one fares better.

commandar,

Free Stars is being made by the original creators of the series, Paul Reiche and Fred Ford. They had nothing to do with SC3 or Origins.

The reason why it’s not using the Star Control name is because the IP ownership around the whole thing is messy. The short version is that Paul and Fred owned the rights to the universe, but Atari owned the rights to the Star Control name.

When Atari went bankrupt, Stardock bought the name. They thought they’d bough the universe. This resulted in Stardock spending the next couple of years trying trying to use the courts to bully Paul and Fred into turning over the rights to them and generally being dickheads.

This finally ended in a settlement and work on Free Stars has been happening quietly for the last couple of years.

puppets sounds cool actually

EvilBit,

I mean if Star Control 2 wasn’t vastly superior in every way or you could just erase it from history, the game would have had some charm to it. But comparatively, it was a pretty tragic letdown.

The one good part that I still remember though was the quest where you had to retrieve a Daktaklakpak Data Pak. That tickled me since I’m a sucker for fun wordplay.

mysticpickle,

Star control 3 was garbage that was star control in name only.

Star control: Origins was made by assholes at Paradox Entertainment that tired to steal the IP from the original creators. The game was basically a pretty soulless carbon copy of star control 2 without the witty dialogue or creative story telling of the original.

Neither of these “prequel/sequels” were made by the original creators Fred Ford and Paul Reiche III.

That’s why this Kickstarter is fire AF. The OG creators have full control here and are making it with the original vision that made sc2 great!

They even released the original Star control 2 for free on steam in preparation:

…steampowered.com/…/Free_Stars_The_UrQuan_Masters…

Granted it doesn’t have the “Star Control” name due to aforementioned IP trolls at Paradox Entertainment but everything else is the same otherwise! :>

Man, Star Control 2 was my favorite game to introduce friends to during the BBS days. Two player melee over a shared keyboard! The music in SC2 was top notch MOD/XM music back when trackers were starting to form a genre. Beeps on computers were the norm but you could hear a drum track over the internal PC speaker in this game. IMHO Tunic is the only game that came close to the wonder and awe of exploration and discovery. Absolutely a masterpiece.

Why not just expand on the winning formula for the original Arkham games? Do a forty year time skip and have the player as Terry instead of Bruce. Call it Beyond Arkham. It would probably print money if it’s as good as Knight or Origins, to say nothing of how much they would get if it was as good as Asylum or City.

Zahille7,

Dude holy shit you just blew me away with the Batman Beyond idea.

FUCK that’s too good!

Delusional, do games w Batman: Arkham Shadow - Official Teaser Trailer

The animation looked nice but it clearly has nothing at all to do with the game and doesn’t tell any story whatsoever. I really dislike these pointless teasers.

maynarkh, do games w Skywind 2024: The Road So Far

I get that a lot of people are saying “oh this has been taking forever”, but from what I’m seeing these guys are producing an AAA-sized title with an engine they don’t own, with an IP they don’t own, all on volunteer time.

This is amazing.

I am seriously in awe just from the sheer dedication. I can hardly keep up a project for more than three days before getting bored of it.

Great, they told us upfront why I don’t need to care about it.

fsxylo,

I was wondering why it has a stupid name.

“Arkham shadow” surprised it isn’t “Arkham quest heroes”.
