Re: Mario Project In PS4's Dreams Comes To A Halt For Containing "Copyrighted Material"

@MS-Izou "but PSO2 has a Zelda collab and a Toro-kun collab."

Exactly, it is almost as if developers asked permission first instead of just using Nintendo IP without permission.

As for Sega, they are fine with Sonic fan games because they have no idea how to make a great Sonic game any more. The last great Sonic game in recent years is Sonic Mania and Sega had nothing to do with it.

Dreams Terms of Service, article 4:

"By creating, posting, streaming, transmitting or providing SIE any User Material, you represent and warrant that your User Material does not infringe on the intellectual property or other rights of any third party and is not obscene, defamatory, offensive or an advertisement or solicitation of business and you have the appropriate rights to use, create, post, distribute, transmit and provide User Material and to grant SIE the foregoing license. You must cooperate with SIE in resolving any dispute that may arise from your User Material."

You have to abide by the terms that Sony has laid out, though Sony will probably only act when they get a complaint from an IP holder.

Yes, other companies allow fan made creations but that is up to them. The team behind Sonic Mania asked permission to get the license and Sega said yes. Nintendo is branching out a lot more recently. Has anyone ever put together an idea and actually applied to get the rights to a Mario game? Oh right, Ubisoft asked with Mario and Rabbids and they made a massively well received game.

Re: Animal Crossing Producer Hopes Fans Will Use New Horizons To "Escape" Reality Right Now

So far I have got a home, paid off the loan, added 3 more fruit to my island set up and donate enough for the museum, helped start and set up the shop and invite more villagers to my island, and I have only been playing a day and a bit. This game is so addictive.

Also, I do not see the point in achievements in most games but this game has achievements done right. Get an achievement, get Nook Miles.

Re: Random: Brie Larson Says She's More Than Happy To Be In An Animal Crossing Movie

@Dezzy "I'll never understand why actors/actresses are constantly sought for input into issues that have nothing to do with acting.
Makes about as much sense as reporting on the opinions of your local butcher and taxi driver."

Why are their views any different or less valid to yours? They can be an actor, butcher, taxi driver or any profession and still be a gamer. I'm a teacher and have been a gamer for over 30 years now. What is your profession?

God I love Brie Larson. Every time she speaks it helps us see which members of this community are so goddamn insecure. Newsflash, if what she has said in the past about a certain group of men has offended you, maybe take a look at yourself and your behaviour to find out why. As a straight white man I found none of her comments insulting in any way.

As for Captain Marvel, people really have a hard time understanding how a woman was abducted and brainwashed into being a ruthless Skrull killing machine with surpressed emotions. I thiught her performance was fine even though the movie was about as good as any other solo Marvel movie. It was better than The Incredible Hulk, Captain America The First Avenger, Thor Dark World, and Iron Man 3 though.

Re: Random: Two '80s Icons Combine In This Custom-Made Megatron NES Zapper

G1 Megatron reissues only happen in Japan, so if Nintendo did go knocking it would limit the places they could sell it. That said, there are plenty of online retailers that buy those reissues and sell them world wide. All they need is an orange tip added to the barrel to make them viable. If they use this colour scheme though, it might be ok to sell as is.

Re: Production Of The Animal Crossing Switch Bundle Has Been Affected By The Coronavirus

Trikeboy

@RasandeRose Nintendo has a shaky relationship with Korea. Piracy is massive there. It was not uncommon for people to sell hacked Wii consoles or Nintendo DS consoles with rom cards at retail stores. The 3DS was delayed quite a long time because of this and they didn't even bother releasing the Wii U there. Customers had to import from Japan. Switch seems to be doing well in Korea though so things are turning around for them.

Re: More Than 200 Old Pokémon Are Being Added To Sword And Shield's National Dex

@PBandSmelly Actually, it has been proven by people who actually know what they are talking about that models (Not all admittedly) have been updated at mesh level and I'm sorry to tell you those mobile games are using the 3DS textures which are better than the 3DS can display but are not HD. Check out the texture for Charmander from SwSh and compare it to the texture from the 3DS games. Source: Models Resource which has the models ripped from the games and their textures. Also, you can see it here: https://ibb.co/mc3C6WN
