This ones great. Where does it come from?

Yeah, actually starting and going through with it is half the work
- Comment on Day 53 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 3 months ago:
What a coincidence. Just yesterday I saw a video about how Mario Galaxy works from a technical perspective, and water was one of the topics.
As it turns out, the water effect was done by manipulating the floor texture with a noise pattern to make it squiggly, and then putting a transparent layer above. It looks pretty good and doesn’t need much processing power.
I just thought that was interesting.

Awesome. Just read through the whole page, seems like they made some big changes. Very nice!
- Comment on Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Announcement Trailer 5 months ago:
30fps would be a joke on the normal switch. All the Metroid Prime games are running at 60, even the MP Remaster. I’d be surprised if 4 would run at 30.
Were at the end of the generation, this game has been in development for years. If there’s a time where the devs really know how to use the hardware to its full potential, it’s now.

It was a remaster
- Comment on 11 years after launch, 49M people still use their PS4s, matching the PS5 6 months ago:
Yeah, I’m planning to get a PS4 or maybe PS4 Pro as well. It’s a great deal considering the large library of games, many of which can be bought physically for relatively cheap.
- Comment on Favourite controllers 7 months ago:
The Wii U Pro controller in general was great. Best battery life I have ever seen on a controller. Great dpad thats clicky but still uses membranes so it’s still a bit softer than the one in the DSi or New 3DS systems. The sticks were incredibly smooth too for some reason. I would use it more today if it wasn’t for the lack of gyro, which is a dealbreaker for many games for me.

Were you a dev back in the day that’s still mad at sony for not telling you by any chance? Just curious, because you seem like you have quite the problem with Sony not telling devs about the differences of a devkit.
- Comment on The PlayStation 2 7 months ago:
That dev kits were more powerful? I looked it up and wasn’t able to find anything about that. Besides that, things like having more RAM is not uncommon on devkits if you mean that.

I love the PS2. Many great games, played a lot of Lego Star Wars II on it. I still play on mine every few days, it’s a great system. Games today aren’t like this anymore.

It wasn’t as underpowered as many people think. I know it’s easy to go like “yeah the cpus clockspeed is like 50% lower than the gamecubes and half as slow as the one in the xbox”, but really that’s just half of the story. The Emotion Engine was quite powerful in the right hands, you just needed to know how to fully use it, including the 2 vector units. There are enough games out there that show the PS2s full potential. The problem is that a lot of the earlier games didn’t really fully utilize the EE.

Man, TimeSplitters 2 is the goat. Still play it every now and then. Some levels weren’t that great, but the characters, multiplayer aspect and just the overall “goofyness” of the game really make it stand out
- Comment on The Sega Dreamcast 7 months ago:
Maybe if it played the Nintendo way, deciding to be really different and not focus on power but on simple games.
Well back then, Nintendo wasn’t like this, at least not on the home console market. The Gamecube was pretty powerful for its time, more so than the PS2 some would say.
- Comment on So much for that dream. 1 year ago:
I never let my battery get below 50% if I can help it.
that doesn’t sound great for the battery
