Re: Arc System Works Reassures "Crazy Conspiracy Theorists" Kill la Kill: IF Has Not Been Censored

@ComposedJam self-censorship at best. It's like saying it's censorship when they change pop culture references(like mentioning local celebrities/movies which tend to get localized so the target audience understands the joke).

You can't blame the companies. They have to choose between upsetting a handful of sweaty Japan-fetishists and alienating a bigger group op potential buyers who don't feel comfortable looking up the skirt of barely clothed 15 year old girls.

The otaku neckbeard crybabies are always holding everything back. That's why anime/manga is still seen as some pervy stuff.

Like when Tokyo Mirage Sessions was released. Instead of celebrating a great localization (a niche game for a niche console) , they were crying and boycotting the game because the upskirts of underage girls were toned down. That's not censoring, that's localizing and taking cultural differences in consideration.

Same with Xenoblade Chronicles X.

Re: Sony Doesn't See Nintendo As A Major Rival, More Worried About Microsoft Next Generation

@Nomad There are a ton of creative games on the PS4 with great gameplay. There is no such thing as 'THE future', there are multiple paths forward. VR is also one of them and the PSVR is amazing.
Astro Bot, Tetris Effect, Rez, Trover Saves the Universe, Beat Saber, Super Hot, Blood and Truth and so on. And that's just PSVR.

Then you got the Yakuza series, fighting games like Street Fighter, Soul Calibur and Tekken, Persona 5.

Saying that PS4 prefers graphics over gameplay is like saying Nintendo is for children.

Re: Random: Banjo-Kazooie Meets The Wind Waker In This N64-Compatible Mod

@impurekind crt's didn't scale better. It just looked blurrier. Try Turok 2/RageWars in low res and hi res mode, and you see the difference. The N64 was not that sharp as in your screenshots. Especially Goldeneye.

The Banjo screenshots aren't wrong, the problem is that you're viewing them on a modern screen. Display them on your CRT and they are exactly how they should look.

A N64 mini would probably use upscaling like all those Virtual Console releases had. Looks better, but far from accurate, just like the video.

The N64 picture quality was pretty bad. The texture filtering, fog effects and 3D were impressive, but the output was muddy compared to the PSX and especially the Dreamcast a few years later (even when comparing 640x480 res games)

@impurekind this is similar to how it would look on a modded N64 with UltraHDMI, which is the best quality (that is pixel clarity, not blurred). You might prefer the blurred look of analog output though, I had the same with VGA vs SCART on the Dreamcast. Games like Marvel vs Capcom 2 would look ugly on VGA because of the pixelated characters. It looks smooth on SCART(I'm also from Europe)

Re: Banjo-Kazooie Switch Listing Appears On Amazon Germany, But We Wouldn't Count On It

@N64-ROX @Mr_Pepperami The Turok games aren't emulated. Turok 1 & 2 were released on the PC years ago and the remastered versions are based on those ports. Apparently the Banjo-Kazooie games in Rare Replay were Xbox 360 ports, so maybe those will be ported to the Switch, but I doubt it. A remake would make more sense in the light of Crash/Spyro.

But enough Banjo-Kazooie, I want a Blast Corps remake/reboot.

Re: Soapbox: EA’s Approach To FIFA On Switch Is Typically Short-Sighted

@BulbasaurusRex the PS2 did not sell 40 times more than the GC. Even the OG Xbox version outsold the GC version 6 to 1.

Do some research. If a better Switch version would sell well, they would make one because EA loves money. It's just not worth it. It will never come close to the PS4 version, so all FIFA players will stick to the PS4. This is a huge community, you can't just move them to another platform that is technically inferior

Re: Soapbox: EA’s Approach To FIFA On Switch Is Typically Short-Sighted

@BulbasaurusRex no they didn't. Fifa 06 on the PS2 outsold the GC version about 40 times.

It's not even close. The usual Nintendo fanboys who always whine about sports games never buy them anyway. All my co-workers play FIFA. None of them was ever like: let's play fifa and then pulled out a Switch. Nobody was playing FIFA on the Wii or Gamecube. It was always Playstation and Xbox
