I feel like the guy who made that Thief 1998 Vs Thief 2014 video should do the same for Tomb Raider 1996 Vs 2013

The drama around Metroid Prime 4 the other day was giving me flashbacks to this game.

I love it

I think the most obvious influence is how Vir went from Londo's awkward bumbling assistant to the Emperor of Centauri. Cartagia is also a lot like Caligula as he was depicted in the BBC adaptation.

I'm becoming increasingly convinced that drastic action will be required to save us from our neoliberal death spiral, but not sure what form it would take exactly.

I remember Prime 3 had a bunch of annoying sections where it tried to imitate Halo, so I'm not totally surprised they've gone in this direction. Still heartbreaking though.

lol I loosely based his appearance on a prick I used to know in real life

I sometimes imagine a scenario where I release a game and like four people play it, but then 50 years after I die people make video essays about how it was a groundbreaking masterpiece (assuming we still have technology by that time).

I guess modern Trek is mostly worked on by rich nepo babies who grew up watching Buffy instead of reading books. A symptom of neoliberal decay.

I saw a clip of one of the nuTrek shows where a character turns to the camera and explains why apartheid was bad. Old Trek would normally convey that through an analogy e.g. the Cardassian occupation.

though Kira would have been the only female character in the main cast if they went in that direction
