Whenever someone tries to remake a Nintendo game in a realistic art style people would sarcastically say “Nintendo, hire this man!!!”

Looking closer I think all the child characters look really uncanny. They’re all so stubby with huge eyes and it’s just weird. Adult link and Ganon look great though.

It’s confirmed to be $60.

Nintendo finally hired that guy!
Jokes aside, looks pretty good. The faces are throwing me off a lot though. They’re so… weird. I was expecting something closer to breath of the wild than the semi-realistic style. I hope they adjust kid link, at least.

Seriously there has been maybe 3-4 posts about GTA 6 on this community in the last 2 months and every single one of them is full of people whining that they don’t want to hear about it. It’s so overblown.
GTA 6 is one of - if not the - highest budget games ever made. In one of the most popular and successful franchises of all time. It’s the biggest release of the last few years whether they like it or not. Now… You’re telling me we should stop talking about it in gaming communities because Lemmy users want to get back to talking about Linux and whatever 6/10 open source game is doing the rounds?
Sorry for the harshness but these posts and comments are so annoying. If you don’t want to talk about AAA games then why are you in the gaming community?

Also, it’s 100% free to play - you don’t even need to own Quake. I totally recommend trying it out, just download the standalone version here.

It only shows the first 3 paragraphs or so before asking me to subscribe. Ah well, the gameplay drops on youtube a few hours from now anyway.

It got a visual refresh not too long ago, but this seems to be a lot bigger with some actual gameplay changes like a reworked skill tree and updated combat.
- Comment on Terranigma announced for PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, PS4, Switch, and PC 2 weeks ago:
Very nice that this game is coming back in some capacity but I was really hoping for some kind of remake or real remaster. From what I can tell this is the same game packaged and running on an emulator.
- Comment on killer instinct 2013 sequel cancelled 2 weeks ago:
I’m surprised it didn’t happen earlier. Fighting games are such a crowded market these days. Just these last few months you have 2XKO, Invincible VS, Avatar Legends all flopping hard.
- Comment on Compulsion Games pulls off management buyout and separates from Xbox 2 weeks ago:
The problem isn’t really with the quality of the games, they’re decent additions to Xbox’s offerings.
The problem is the rate at which they make new games, which is a bit of a disaster. They released THREE GAMES since the studio was founded in 2009 (17 years!!!)
- Contrast (2013)
- We Happy Few (2018)
- South of Midnight (2025)
I wish them the best of luck but out of all the studios Xbox threw away/wanted to shut down, this one was the least surprising, and I said the same thing when they announced the studios they were getting rid of.

- Comment on 2XKO Active Development Will End in December 2026 2 weeks ago:
We’re unlocking all champs. We’re also bundling most cosmetic items, and refunding all money spent in 2XKO on or before August 20.
All things considered, that’s a nice gesture. As unlikely as it is I hope they also add offline & LAN play for when the servers inevitably shut down.

Instead my pick is Ori and the Will of the Wisps.
This is definitely the most unpopular opinion in this thread. Story-wise they’re very similar, yeah. Gameplay-wise, I played them back to back and they are extremely different. The second one has a much bigger focus on combat and combat upgrades, and a lot of new fun platforming mechanics like burrowing in the desert. I think it’s what a sequel should be, improving on the issues of the first while not deviating too much from what made it great.

Also related: The Crash Bandicoot games took a similar nosedive in the PS2 era. Crash of the Titans was alright but the other ones I played were awful.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
It’s a very big tonal and gameplay shift, but my biggest issue with Jak 2 is the sudden spike in difficulty. Missions are long, often lack checkpoints, and enemies kill you so easily. Those racing missions still haunt me to this day.
On the other hand, Jak 3 is my favorite one in the franchise. It’s still closer to the 2nd but it’s such a fun ride with a bigger focus on exploration and platforming again rather than combat. Love that game to death.
- Comment on PSBLACKOUT (boycott of PlayStation) 1 month ago:
Seriously, timed blackouts and petitions are just being performative. If someone actually cares, sell your ps5/move to another platform. Nothing else matters. This is like how sports game fans complain every year that the game sucks but are still willing to drop 100 dollars on it.

The sequel is waaaaaaay better by the way, I would play that if you only had the time to try one.
- Comment on Xbox Backward Compatibility on PC 1 month ago:
Neat. I wonder how they’re doing this though, because I’m assuming it’s just an Xbox emulator adding the games on PC. Or are they proper PC ports?
- Comment on Bethesda Announces New ‘Fallout’ Roadmap Following Xbox Reset 1 month ago:
Well… At least it’s going to be moddable I guess, so we’ll wait a year after launch for the community to fix the game’s issues.

I wish Capcom would embrace the fangames/ROM hacks more.
On one hand, I love that they’re silently letting the fans do what they want without getting involved. On the other hand, I totally agree that it’s surprising they don’t lean harder on the fanbase. SEGA hired fans to make Sonic Mania which turned out great. Capcom could straight up take Megaman Maker and sell it for $30 or something, it’s one of the best free games out there and I’m surprised they haven’t tried buying it from the devs.
- Comment on Gaslamp Games Under New Management; Announces Surprise Public Beta of New Dungeons of Dredmor Patch 1 month ago:
Oh hey, finally! The devs talked about updating the game a few years ago. I wanted to play this game again so much but all the steam reviews about crashes and save corruptions kept me off. Might be time to finally give it another shot after 10+ years.
This game was kind of awesome, I guess it was maybe too early to blow up along with other indie roguelikes. The idea of making your own class with crazy modifiers every run was really neat.

I like the idea of having as much info about a game as possible on one page. That said, I’m worried about how the data is being aggregated and how it won’t turn into a mess with more and more data being added. How are you going to stop bad info or duplicates from making it in? What happens when two sources report conflicting info?
At the end of a game page, it says “data aggregated from 5 sources”, but it should also list the 5 sources here.
Also, the page content doesn’t seem to be licensed. Most wikis and databases have a small blurb on how you can use the content. Terraria’s wiki for example says this at the bottom of every page:
Page content is under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 License unless otherwise noted.
It would be nice if the page content can be explicitly licensed as creative commons.
Finally, this is just my opinion, but the website is a little to “what’s up fellow gamers” for me. The about page is kinda eye-rolling, it’d be nice to know what this website offers without all the “games for gamers, make your gaming identity now, gamer” talk.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
This site doesn’t seem to be making a new database, it’s more like an aggregator that collects information from multiple databases and puts it all on one page. I can see the merit in that but yeah it’s not going to replace something like IGDB.
