Re: Best Licensed Games On Nintendo Switch

I don't think it is fair to mention Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered without stating that Saber Interactive promised to add online multiplayer functionality post launch and then they completely ghosted that promise.

Total scumbag move by them.

Re: Talking Point: Given The Voice Artist Controversy, Will You Be Boycotting Bayonetta 3?

VA are paid on a sliding scale based on the type of content it is and where it airs-

A voice artist could get paid 8K for a national 1 minute ad if it is a full buyout.

A voice artist could also get paid $800 for a 15 minute internal only business recording.

Quite a differential there on the amount of work and pay-

Lots of factors to look into here- I'll wait to see if more info on this situation arises.

Re: GoldenEye 007 Documentary 'GoldenEra' Snapped Up By Streaming Giant Cinedigm

I'd imagine they also had very bad offers from some of the true giants (prime/ netflix) - Its probably more advantageous to monetize a video on Youtube than it would be strike a deal with Netflix-

Hopefully they got a decent deal that helped with production costs- I'm currently working on a series that will be released on PBS but we haven't worked out a deal with a streaming service yet- that will come down the road because PBS has a 2 year exclusivity with the exception of self release or youtube, so we will probably sell it via our website and then put it on one of the "giants" later. Point being, being on a giant probably isn't that great of a thing for the creators of the content.

Re: Random: Modded Wii Mini Turns It Into A Wi-Fi Capable Homebrew Machine

Cool- but it still has output that isn't even as good as the Gamecube- so It's not very useful- Even if they found a way to hardwire HDMI out, it still wouldn't be as good as the Gamecube because of the digital out port on the Gamecube. Granted this doesn't natively play Gamecube games, the only reason I compare them is that Gamecube is nearly a decade older and has better tech.

One Wii related mod that I would be very interested in would be putting a higher resolution display in the Wii U gamepad- I'm guessing that isn't possible because the video being wirelessly transmitted out of the Wii U is only about 480p- I do wonder if at the very least what it would look like with a better 480p display-

Re: Round Up: Here's What Critics And Fans Think Of The Resident Evil Netflix Series

This site needs to be careful with the term "review bombing".

1. review bombing can go both ways but overly praising reviews never seems to get called out by the media.

2. If a show genuinely deserves to be called out by the fans, is that really review bombing? The term should be reserved for when the review bombing may not be justified or else it will just be another term the media defaults to when things simply don't support the corporate narrative.
