CosmoNova, do games w Virtual Boy: Nintendo Classics - Announcement Trailer

So they‘re selling a literal piece of plastic that becomes utterly useless the moment you lose access to their subscription service. Also, 14 games that they plan to release over time? Damn they must hate their customers with a passion.

If the recent pathetic patent filings were not enough to finally wake you up to what an awful company Nintendo are I don’t know what to tell you.

ch00f,

lol the actual Virtual Boy only had 11 titles.

PonyOfWar,

22 titles actually, of which 14 were released in the US.

It's a VB-themed redesign of the Labo VR kit. Should presumably be compatible with everything Labo VR supported (like, three titles I think?). Maybe the fact that they're bringing it back means they might reuse it in the future?

PonyOfWar,

This doesn’t have the head tracking capabilities of the VR kit, as you only insert the Switch which doesn’t have a gyro without the joycons.

missingno,
@missingno@fedia.io avatar

Apparently they're selling two versions. One is the full scale VB, and that's clearly a collector's item. The other is the VB-themed Labo VR.

frezik,

I’m one of the Virtual Boy’s only fans. I don’t own a Switch 2 and don’t have plans to. I might just buy the accessory as a display piece.

EldritchFeminity,

At that point, why not just 3d print one or something. Save money by not giving it to a scummy company, and hey, throw a raspberry pi in there or something with an emulator and you can probably actually run Virtual Boy games on it.

Euphoma,

I believe the accessory works with switch 1 also, but its also really expensive at like 140 usd

I don’t think I’ve ever once looked at Halo 2 and thought it looked worse than Halo 1.

@altima_neo@lemmy.zip avatar

Yeah, I remember it looking lower poly, but they definitely had more effects going on than Halo 1 did.

intensely_human,

But it was less tuned. Halo 1 was BB King, Halo 2 is Papa Roach

Alexstarfire,

I can’t tell if that’s an insult or a compliment.

intensely_human,

Well it’s definitely both

Deestan, do games w [Ahoy] What genre is DOOM?

It’s so funny to be reminded of that period in the 90s where any first person game was described as a “DOOM clone”, because DOOM itself was the first FPS that hugely took off.

nokturne213,

Exactly, DOOM is DOOM. I remember hearing Wolfenstein calls a DOOM Clone too.

Mako_Bunny, do games w Sweet Baby Inc: Why Modern Gaming has Become Woke Political Garbage

If it uses the word “woke” it’s automatically not worth anyone’s time

brsrklf,

Don’t forget “political”.

If it means that it’s talking about society, every story ever written is political in some way. But we all know in this context it means “stuff I don’t like”.

Grangle1,

TBH that goes both ways too. How many people would be upvoting and praising this video if it was coming at the topic from the other direction politically? I would bet it would be a LOT of people here. I get frustrated at hearing everything called “woke” too, but if people are going to ask one “side” to check their biases, they should be able to do the same for themselves.

Touching_Grass,

Wouldn’t you ignore an article that said modern gaming is dead because its facism/made by Nazis/car head’s

@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

If you want to know if this YouTube channel is of any value whatsoever, click on the channel, then click on videos, and take a look at every video thumbnail and title, and you’ll have your answer. Believe me when I say that I’ll be happy if Nintendo faces financial consequences for some of the things they’ve done in the market, but all this data proves is that PS5 had a large discount and Switch 2 did not.

psx_crab,

If you want to know if this YouTube channel is of any value whatsoever, click on the channel, then click on videos, and take a look at every video thumbnail and title, and you’ll have your answer.

This actually kicks out Veritasium for having no value, and i have a long standing issue with Derek. I like Veritasium, it’s a valuable channel that is entertaining and educational, but Derek is a sellout for a)knowing how bad clickbait is, talk about it in one of his older video, but continue to engage with it, which got even worst recent year; b) sold Veritasium to private equity, which explains why the shitbait is so so bad recently.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

There’s click bait, and then there’s rage bait. Veritasium never tried to get me upset about gravity not being a force with a thumbnail of an evil Albert Einstein saying, “HE LIED”.

bamboo,

Not sure when the sale happened, but there was a recent video about the invention of the Blue LED from the past year which was really good, highly recommended. To me click bait implies the contents are not worth the headline / title / thumbnail, but old Veritasium and recent have kept up mostly the same level of quality IMO. I will say updating old video titles and thumbnails to juice the numbers was annoying, but the optimist in me figured that at least people who had not previously experienced old Veritasium got it recommended to them which is a positive.

psx_crab,

They did use AB testing, and some of their video thumbnail and title did have that sort of combination when the AB test is in effect. The best one imo is still the fresh upload, which then youtube will cycle all the thumbnail and then end up with the one that got the most click. If you pay attention to it when they first upload then a day later then a few days then a week, it will usually cycle from good to really bad then finally end in bad as their forever thumbnail and title.

… now do it with Morrowind. I dare you. I double dare you!

RaoulDook,

There is the Skywind project, but I’m not sure if any progress has been made in the last year

@1SimpleTailor@startrek.website avatar

Morrowind would be a whole different beast to remaster. Not saying I wouldn’t enjoy some better graphics and tweaked systems, but it would be a hard sell to most gamers if they only did that.

-no voice acting -outdated gameplay systems -Game map that wasn’t designed with unlimited draw distance, fast travel, or even unlimited running in mind.

Honestly at this point it would be better served by a full remake.

grue,

Morrowind has plenty of fast travel. In fact, it has better fast-travel than later Elder Scrolls games because it’s actually integrated into the gameplay.

FenrirIII,
@FenrirIII@lemmy.world avatar

Sky walking was so much fun. Not always faster, but fun

grue,

It was also neat that the game was designed for it (Telvanni towers, secrets in high places, etc.).

Initiateofthevoid,

Agreed. Super convenient fast travel takes something away from the game. It turns an adventure into a handful of loading screens, which is egregious in Starfield because “travel through space” boiled down to "here’s 4 more loading screens every single time you want to do anything.

BigBananaDealer,
@BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

skyrim has carriages and boats though

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, that’s why you’d make it a remaster; to fix all of those things.

TachyonTele,

Modern mods fix almost all of those issues.
The game can easily be ‘remastered’.

figjam,

Can we just have 6 instead?

harrys_balzac,

No. Oblivion remastered. Then Skyrim Special Oblivion Remastered Anniversary Edition. Then Starfield Remastered.

rdri,

Then Oblivion Remastered 2 since the current one will be outdated by that time.

absquatulate, do games w The end of Stop Killing Games [Accursed Farms]

I think the initiative just ran out of steam. I remember seeeing it everywhere for the first month or so, and then nothing, and it plateaued around where it is now. Maybe the vast majority of EU gamers just can’t be arsed to read and sign a petition like this. I mean most can’t even vote with their wallet when a shit game releases. And of course it’s fun to blame thor/pirateguy for this ( and they probably did have their share of fault ) but in the end it looks like 500k is the amount of gamers that actually give a fuck about the state of things.

TheEighthDoctor,

It just didn’t reach enough people, no one I know that is not on Reddit and Lemmy even heard about it or understood the problem to begin with, on top of that, most “gamers” are playstation players that don’t know anything about these problems or care for that matter.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA,
@HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world avatar

I mean I’m tired of signing online petitions that get summarily ignored

atro_city,

This isn't "just a petition". It's a formal path to get a response from the EU commission. If it reaches the thresholds, the EU commission is forced by law to consider it. It isn't some random petition that can be filed away and never heard of again.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA,
@HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world avatar

what’s it like having a (semi)functional government?

atro_city,

Would be better if citizens actually cared and didn't dream of becoming the USA 🤷‍♂

Default_Defect,
@Default_Defect@midwest.social avatar

Completely agree, I also noticed that every single notable person I see talking about this is from the US or Canada. I also get the impression that the EU simple doesn’t care enough.

mostlikelyaperson,

Yup, I don’t watch his content, but looking at his actual viewership numbers, he doesn’t even remotely have the impact to make or break a petition by himself.

Vincke says the team finds DLC boring to make, so they don’t really want to make it anymore.

I find this driveby comment rather significant.

It means they are trying to conform to the developers’ strengths, desires, interests. They’re shaping huge business decisions around them. That’s just good for everyone, as opposed to devs inefficiently, dispassionately grinding away at something they don’t like.

That’s huge. I’d also posit “happy devs means happy business.” And Larian has repeatedly expressed similar things.
