Everything he’s ever made was a collaboration between him and other creative people, he’s just being big headed about himself

…playstation.com/…/EP4497-PPSA10408_00-0000000000… this game has a next-gen SKU for ps5, to access ps5 feature sets, that they misnamed as a “patch”. note how it says [ps4] [ps5]
- Comment on Kotaku Asks: How Soon Is Too Soon For A Video Game Remaster Or Remake? 6 days ago:
Except where it clearly can. For example, Witcher 3’s next gen update adds features like ray tracing.
this is a new SKU release for next gen systems, it’s not a patch. it’s a new version of the game.
- Comment on Kotaku Asks: How Soon Is Too Soon For A Video Game Remaster Or Remake? 1 week ago:
No, they have unlocked profiles. This is absolutely not the same thing as releasing a game made for previous gen for current gen it does not give you access to most of the graphical and audio capabilities of the modern platform, nor does it give you access to features like duelsense triggers and rumble.
It mearly takes the speed limit off the ps4 abstractation layer.
I want to be super clear about how these are very very different things .
- Comment on Kotaku Asks: How Soon Is Too Soon For A Video Game Remaster Or Remake? 1 week ago:
you can’t do a ‘patch’ for a new platform, you have to release a SKU. that’s just the mechanics of it. that’s what 99% of these things that people are mad about are. it also gives people an excuse to print mode physical medias which makes people who like physical media happy.

Like, sure, if the game isn’t otherwise playable on the platform then by all means, but otherwise why waste all that time?
If developers want to re-release their games on new platforms, I say sure? No skin off my back, helps them work on engine and tooling for the new platforms, gives games another wind. Literally does not matter to me.

People are against them. Demonstrably.
Also worth reading everything I wrote not just the bits you want to read

A remaster implies that it’s taking what exists and bringing it to a new thing.
If there’s a 4k scan of a movie that was made for blurays and then a few years later that 4k scan gets used to release an uhd version, we don’t complain.

I really struggle to see why anyone would be against these ports, honestly.

- Comment on Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic Remake Is No Longer In Development - Report 1 week ago:
The announcements of fan works are always to drum up more fans to contribute to the work. And honestly 99/100 it doesn’t result in legal threats, it makes sense to do. Fan works don’t get made in secret, in secret they get to version 0.01 and sit on one person’s hard drive for a decade
- Comment on Super Mario RPG - Review Thread 1 week ago:
Mario rpg is really a 20ish hour game for most people. Maybe a little less. I’m not even sure what you would spend your time doing for 3x the time. Even completionist entries on hltb are only 25 hours
It’s a shorter rpg for sure, doesn’t make it bad, my favourite rpgs are shorter.

if you like it great good for you, I don’t though. I don’t want to play games on a frakentablet with accessories, not local games, not streamed games. I just want a thing that is put together by itself, is totally solid and doesn’t need me to attach/detach things from it as it changes its use
if i had an android tablet that played switch games if i just have this controller attachment that lets me use some third party controls I wouldn’t enjoy it, I would enjoy a nintendo switch by itself.

sure, it was better here about it until recently, the quality of the community posts here has dropped dramatically in the past month

yes, that is what i want. I’ve wanted for years. no using my phone or a tablet isn’t a good experience to answer the next comment.

Sure, but the narrative in this thread is assuming that it muuust have been low units for low sales based on nothing. That is what I was critizing. The people here and the quality of the comments.

The use case is that you live with other people and other people want to use the TV that the ps5 is connected to, and you want to play ps5, and you aren’t a jerk who hogs the TV all the time.
It’s okay, demonstrably people want this, even if you’re mad about it.

I know people want to implicitly shit on this thing because they don’t personally want one, and I guess they don’t want other people to enjoy them, but come on, this is silly. You know none of that. You just wish it was that.

When I use my switch, 99.9% of the time, I’m at home. So, none of this actually matters to me.
I got one, and it’s pretty great. It does the job super well. Let’s me play games whilst the TV is in use, which I think is 99% of the reason I use my switch portable too.
- Comment on 505 Games owner Digital Bros to cut 30 percent of its staff - GameDeveloper 2 weeks ago:
High interest rates make investing in risky projects like game development uninteresting. Why take risk if interest rates bring in high returns by themselves.
A lot of the games industry is backed by a constant flow of investment. Which has totally dried up. This company got 80 million in investment last year, this year can’t find more to keep paying the bills. Same is true for most of the announcements.
Then there is large companies like Microsoft, those layoffs are purely about paying shareholders extea money.

Ifrs 16 makes things complicated, I wouldn’t pay attention to that part unless you are interested in the specifics of the companies financials. The point is that revenue and profit were up

- Comment on YouTuber Jirard (a.k.a. The Completionist) has been accused of keeping and hoarding charity donations 2 weeks ago:
none of that is debunked, he’s just trying to worm his way out of it. the correct thing to do when you find out someone is a nazi is to cut them out. he doesn’t, then he tries to say i’m just trying to help him be a not nazi by promoting and featuring him in my videos.
you’re a fool to believe that for a moment, especially when it comes from him.
i want to be incredibly clear here, nothing is debunked. he said what he wants to say, you choose to believe him at face value.
