Rune Factory 4 is up there with my favourite games of all time. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for this.

It’s bursting sooner rather than later, this is the Dotcom bubble on steroids.

This series used to be good. The next game will just be an entire cast of catgirls.

It gives them an excuse to release another version later with FeMC included. Atlus have form.

@UpsideDownRowlet This is not related to the FIFA games, they stopped being called that 3 years ago now. FIFA is the regulatory body for football. This is just the equivalent of College Football 26 making a deal with the NCAA for licenses.

@Erigen @HammerGalladeBro The game is called Football Manager 26. And there’s zero microtransactions. This has nothing to do with the FIFA games, it’s just the regulatory body.

It’s coming out in 2026. This is the sort of sh*t Elon Musk would find funny, just utterly dead memes.

The sooner the video game adaptation trend dies, the better. Or just the current crop of blockbusters in general.

It’s amazing. And mental.

One a year. Only spare income I have is around my birthday and that’ll usually go on one new game. Anything else is either borrowed copies from friends or through PS Plus.

@Dang_69 You’re completely right, a lot of the image and video-generating models have been trained on Disney, Pixar and Ghibli so there’s a distinct style emerging of AI generated cartoons in that they owe their DNA to plagiarised Pixar movies. I reckon the Spider-Verse/TMNT Mutant Mayhem art style is going to be the major human-driven style of the next decade of animation. A more sketchy/rough style appeals to the human spirit more than rounded corners and soft colours in an age where you get bombarded with that distinctly AI style.

Having not played the remake, I didn’t even realise they changed the soundtrack. Really should dig out my original copy. I sold a bunch of games a couple weeks back because yes, things are getting that bad, but I’m not completely confident that the Cube discs aren’t too scratched from 25 years worth of storage and mistreatment from an idiot (me) to really be sellable in good conscience. Shame too, this and Skies of Arcadia Legends would probably fetch a few bob.

Somebody voted Federation Force 😂

@Ogbert Water consumption too, it’s an incredibly thirsty industry considering the returns. It’s possibly the biggest folly that humans have ever pursued, driven entirely by the greed of a small set of billionaires that want to impose this on the rest of us and ruin as many lives as possible.

This is absolutely horrific. There is zero benefit to any of this. Remember when they said AI would cure cancer, create jobs, rewire people’s brains etc. Instead its making slop, serving us ads and making people more stupid.

@johnedwin And I’ve only played the SNES remasters of 1, 2 and 3. They use the old names before the retranslated ones that are around these days.

@CasualTalkRadio I’ve only played the SNES versions of 1, 2, 3 actually so the old names are what I know!

She has a sister called Cornwall.

I think this will slot into 2 nicely. Hopefully it gives you more areas to grind before that f***ing Cave to Rhone/Rendarak.

He will be lowered ceremonially into a pit of lava. Godspeed.

@DrJoson Easily the best of the Tennant specials, probably one of the scariest New Who episodes in general. Sort of mad it’s that good given how clearly done RTD and Tennant were at that time.

That’s pretty big, she’s a hell of an actress and it’s sort of a little sad to see Eternals be what she’s known for when Humans is that good.

70s is an inspired choice, gives the vibe of the Peter Ustinov movie.

60FPS should be the priority for sports games. Visual fluff is not as necessary as smooth gameplay.

@rio_j I dunno, generally the quality of acting in Eastenders is more impressive than the sort you get in the Yank soaps. Might just be due to the acting pathway in the UK prioritising stage and study over looking good in underwear.

Christ almighty, I thought our soaps had shoddy acting.

Had no idea Rimmer did these games. Bit random for Rick Astley to be in it but eh, he’s had a bit of a revival outside of just memes.

I mean, it couldn’t not end with a teaser considering what happens at the end of the game. It would be like watching Fellowship of the Ring then thinking yeah that’s that, won’t bother with the rest.

Man, the Switch 2 on paper is such a leap forwards but devs just don’t seem to be taking advantage.

I’m a couple days off being in the same bracket as 34 year olds. That’s well depressing, been here since I was like 14 too.

Good game. Recommend the fan translation.

@rvcolem1 Borderlands is essentially just Diablo with guns. That genre needs the post-launch support to control power creep, make balance changes and add new enemies to handle the increased damage output. Believe me, if any game needed a firm hand after launch, it’s something like Borderlands. It’s less that the game is incomplete and more that you need to work hand in hand with the community to shape the future of the game, you can’t get a true representation of the meta just through internal testing.

Tbh, the game does need a roadmap because having played The Pre Sequel very recently, that’s what happens when support is planned but not followed through. The game feels so barebones compared to 2 because that game had so much post-release support that the game is a brilliant package.

@Jeff2sayshi Nothing will top Yakuza 3’s chapter literally called The Plot which explains the entire game’s plot in a big cutscene. My PS5 almost shut down into standby mode.

@Jeff2sayshi The beginning to 0 is one of the slowest paced games of all time. Once it clicks, and it will, you’re in for one of the best games of all time.

@MTMike87 Playing these games in English should be punishable by tarring and feathering.

Kiwami 2 (and 6) still runs at 30FPS on the PS5 which is why I’m reluctant to go back and replay it. Switch 2’s boost is impressive given it’s a handheld.

@X68000 Apple I trust more than MS, the pushback against Starmer wanting back doors on iPhones means they do actually care a bit about privacy. Elon is worse, I agree. He’d probably use it to make some sort of eugenics program.

@LastFootnote The best version of Dare is the live one where Shaun Ryder is absolutely rat-arsed and can barely even say the word Dare.

At least it’s songs from when they were listenable.

I cannot think of anything worse than Windows having access to eye-scan data.

@AJWolfTill @IronMan30 Seeing Philip J Reed here was a bit of a shock, such a terrible shame what happened. It’s sort of nice to see names that have left us be immortalised here.

I’d ask for them to fix the shoddy collision but it seems to be pretty heavily baked into the game. You just get an awful lot of ‘this doesn’t feel quite right’ which I never had in 1+2, whether that’s spine transfers bugging so I land on my face or wallrides not registering/clipping on scenery. Then again, the fact I’m still getting over 10 million point sessions on each park compared to how difficult I found 1+2’s secret scores speaks to how great the level design of 3 and some of 4 is for those high score runs. I’ve really been appreciating Canada much more now, one of my favourite maps in the entire series, just chasing that top 1000 in the world but I’m getting pushed down by the cheaters daily at this point.

Sakurai is announcing Smash at the same time xoxo

Very glad I have a Les Paul and dongle. YARG and Clone Hero are much more fun than Fortnite MTXtival.

Honestly surprising but good to see as a fan of the series. My guess is that the Switch 2 doesn’t quite have the bottomless audience that the first one did in the UK, you kept wondering who didn’t already own Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

I don’t think Nintendo should do that. In some cultures, laser-targeting toddlers with the intent to kill or maim is unacceptable.
