if you do that I'll kill you

it certainly had other reasons it was ergonomically terrible but yeah that isn't helping

I think it just looks like an ergonomic nightmare like the last Steam Controller

also I fucking hate the PS thumbstick layout and wish they would just go with the staggered Xbox thumbstick layout

FFXVI is the definition of "hype moments and aura" and if you're reading this and haven't played it, go play it, it has a demo on Steam, PS5, and XSX/S it is genuinely one of the coolest games I have ever played

for reference, it was co-developed by Platinum Games, the team behind Metal Gear Rising

something I've noticed is that the negativity seems to mostly be in English spaces, I watched a Halo CE/CE:A/CE:R graphics comparison, and apparently the creator was Spanish, I checked the comments and they were all praising it, a comment even mentioned just how much the English community complained

you're allowed to not like how Campaign Evolved looks, but saying "the atmosphere is different" or "this isn't how CE was meant to look" at this point is objectively wrong

I guess respecting the original artists' intent stops applying when your interpenetration of their intent was wrong

I can not find any controversy on this guy, also, he literally said "it's gorgeous in a way I wish we could have built it originally in 2001", I feel like that pretty unequivocally means this is how it was intended and the feeling it was meant to invoke

can we make it so algorithms stop encouraging negativity? can we make it so algorithms discourage shitting on everything? I'd like to be able to enjoy or be excited for something without constantly seeing hate or being reminded we live in a capitalist hellhole where no one is allowed to have fun

just gonna put this here

statement from the art director for Halo CE, 2, and 3, this implies that something like this was the intent the whole time and the feeling they were trying to invoke, but sure, "the atmosphere is different" or whatever (it's really not)

that's a weird way to write XVI (peak fiction)

I mean, sure, AND, I feel there is a basic responsibility to prevent the spread of misinformation and stuff that's actively harmful, like bigotry and such

is anyone surprised? of course the company that wants to make as much money as possible was going to bend to the current administration

this is how I learn Bsky doesn't have markdown

anyone know how to italicize text on this site?

yes, Bloober is doing an SH1 remake, we don't know anything other than it's happening but it *is* happening

this isn't targeted at anyone in particular btw, when I first tried the game back in 2023 and everyone around me who played told me not to do the yellow quests and I ended up not enjoying the game that much

the combination of fucking off to do side content and not playing MRD is making it more fun

I'm so excited for the remake man, I tried to play the original but couldn't get past the tank controls, so finally having a chance to experience the story is going to be awesome

also I was write about trusting Olivier to make a phenomenal OST

This is the main theme

I mean, I wouldn't mind having a definitive version on PC with all the console and mobile exclusive minigames, which seems to be what this will be

having looked at Spriter's Resource, I don't think it's vectored, also the original is still in 4:3 where as Replanted is in 16:9. what concerns me is PopCap's Twitter recently making very AI generated sounding Tweets, doesn't fill me with confidence

also apparently it'll have all the minigames
