Who can hate cute characters? i mean, yeah, you have those that are shallow mascots. But you also have those that are cute with a pulse. The entirety of otaku anime would be in a bad spot if everything was as shallow without depth as Bubsy
"As Nintendo states, any game that’s going to be on the Nintendo platform needs to ‘meet [Nintendo’s] established content and platform guidelines.’ This is the key point. Nintendo has content guidelines. Our game didn’t meet those guidelines, so we made changes that would allow us to release on their platform." This just further prooves what I said on the last article:
"We initially assumed, like some of you, that because games like Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk are on the platform with similar types of uncensored mature content, Dispatch would be allowed to do the same. During the porting process it became clear that was not the case." and this further prooves that Nintendo, like Steam and Playstation, are playing favorites... I wonder if it's possible to sue when a company doesn't meet their own established guidelines...
"While we inform partners when their titles don’t meet our guidelines, Nintendo does not make changes to partner content. We also do not discuss specific content or the criteria used in making these determinations."
This is a cop-out.
No, you absolutely do.
By having said unreasonable guidelines, you are telling devs what they must change about their game to be seen on your platform when you should instead keep yourself out of someone else's creation process. This is the kind of ***** that leads to self censorship. If your guidelines simply drew the line at regulatory bodies and let devs go hog wild with their ideas, no fan would be complaining
@shgamer the VF series is more exclusively about the raw fundamentals of 3D fighting. It's got combos, sure, but they end as fast as the begin. It's a little too "pure" for our hype-tastic world today.
If it makes you feel a little better, the original people behind PS1 Tekken also worked on VF before they jumped to namco iirc.
If VF6 is also a keycard, I'm skipping it on Switch 2. prefer it to be a one and done purchase on a physical card, but if they plan on being so difficult....
(But VF6 has to impress me first. VF and me are like oil and water due to how dry the series feels)
I hope they keep the ironic writing on the downlow for this film.
Mario Galaxy is one of the series' few stories with a lot of heart to it. Turning it into a big joke like a Marvel movie would be like stabbing a loved one in the face after their confession to you...
I'm not a big mario fan, but I HIGHLY respected what galaxy did as a story
@batmanbud2 Treehouse's problems is more internal with translation. They treat even teens and adults like little children that need to be coddled from another culture that isn't their own.
But these days, I don't even buy a lot of nintendo games, i buy 3rd party games that can be a bit wacky and creative in ways Nintendo wouldn't be. Even right now I am playing through GalGun2, and that's a really silly and cute kind of game
So yeah, i'm with others, don't do anything stupid, prichard. I want my ecchi and I want it unfiltered. Same with horror elements. I don't have to like that, but at least give it the respect it deserves
Honestly, this is the least you can ask for. Backwards compatibility can now make games run far better if they aren't capped. Variable framerate future proofs the game
@caseyyy You already can. At least the proper versions. They already have, like, 2 or 3 namco arcade collections on switch as is, and one is purely pacman themed
They should re-release the first 3 games. Persona 1 and 2(+2) are all still on the PS1 and PSP respectively, without modern sensibilities tainting the OG story
@Nep-Nep-Freak Never forget that Disaster Day of Crisis is a wild railshooter that reggie skipped, and deserves to be better remembered.
They even redid the default english in of the japanese release that was meant to replicate a Hollywood film so it would be more to american tastes after re-localization and STILL didn't release in in america!!!
lol
Just don't censor or ban my games and force every game sent to shops to be physical proper. Plain and simple. That's the least I can ask for from the successors
@LoadingSinceThe80s Sorry, but a game for everyone is a game for no one.
I'd rather them have a focus they stick by and understand their target audience is intelligent.
And yes, this also applies adding painful hard modes to games intended to be easy too (And boy do I know that pain from Sonic Frontiers...). Its funny how nobody defends that if ever done but it's always the game being "too hard" for a stock finished 'normal mode' that always gets bashed on "to attract more players". And I'm not even talking about poorly tested difficulty spikes here.
@Notsoavid From seeing Nitrorad's review of it, it's about as hard as a standard RE game. It being brutally hard seems to have been casuals talking, considering Bloober made walking sims before Chronos and Silent Hill 2 RE
@PharoneTheGnome "The genie is out of the bottle. Trying to ignore it is a career limiting move." Trying to use it as your personal genie is even more career limiting, considering now companies are asking for artists to walk in and show them that you know how to draw, assuming they value art and the experience with it first. That's how bad it's gotten.
For me, I draw the line at vocal generative AI. There are practical applications for it and the music/voice acting industry is showing signs of respecting creators in some ways.
From using genAI voices to splice in a moment where characters say your inputted name, to allowing Vtubers to become completely anonymous. And thats saying nothing about new "vocaloid" software that hires someone to provide a voice and gets paid for it while still being required to use their voice like an instrument.
There's far more ethics being used there compared to genAI images, which are still built off of theft while avoiding the creative process altogether.
55 was way to young. practically middle aged. wth happened? I got no bond with the guy or his work, but it's cold knowing he didn't even get to have one more christmas

Re: Talking Point: Does It Bother You That Big Games Companies Are Using GenAI?
For me, I draw the line at vocal generative AI. There are practical applications for it and the music/voice acting industry is showing signs of respecting creators in some ways.

And thats saying nothing about new "vocaloid" software that hires someone to provide a voice and gets paid for it while still being required to use their voice like an instrument.
There's far more ethics being used there compared to genAI images, which are still built off of theft while avoiding the creative process altogether.
