The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) don't even bother playing a game before giving it a rating. Shouldn't gamers be the ones that decide how a game is rated? fellow gamers, DO tell what you think about this.
From school politics to ping-pong, pistols to police procedurals, let’s dive into the best that Rockstar has to offer.
Saif from eXputer inquires, "Despite the everlasting popularity of the genre, why hasn't there been a good AAA horror game in a while now?"
@crow
Did I give away your secret? It's okay, if you sit on your hand and numb it, you can pretend it's her playing with your little stick.
Even when they do it's first person trying to copy Outlast, Five Nights, P.T etc
I think the Dead Space / RE2 / RE4 Remake and the Evil Within 2 showed you can have a good story based, third person survival horror game.
I feel like we haven't had much in the way of horror games for years, I think it became rare after the PS2/PS3 gen. Maybe i'll pick up that Crow Country that recently came out, that looks good.
"In a time when companies don't care about preserving games, I have high respect for the creators of projects like N64: Recompiled." - Hanzala from eXputer.
il beat you to the ski-lift,
framerate on snowboard kids was shocking, do you remember./?
talking of shocking framerate and kart racers style games,
Sony had a gem on ps3, with 'Modnation Racers' but again, framerate was so terrible, still fun though, indeed, when is drifting sideways not fun, the answer is never. we have not seen enough of that game, technically some people made race tracks/games in dreams and little big planet etc, but its just not the same,!!! grrrrr
morning rant over.
here, relive some ,memories. https://www.youtube.com/wat...
The load time on ModNation where also excruciatingly long... But man oh man I wish that game took off more, so much fun! Could turn off garbage rubber banding, I had karts with 100's of stickers to design some crazy cool stuff, custom tracks. Fantastic undeappreciated game
Some food for thought:
Would you donate your physical copy of a really rare/expensive cartridge (Conkers's BFD, Bomberman 64 Second Attack, Ogre Battle 64, the two Castlevania titles, etc) to those managing this project for the greater good of getting them preserved online for all to experience at some point?
As long as it meant they never took money from Patreon and invited a DMCA takedown / lawsuit by Nintendo to take it all away. After seeing the whole debacle with Yuzu I now question how long any of these teams can maintain game preservation efforts through emulator development, or otherwise.
Is it realistically needed though I would not personally give anyone my old carts for games that are already persevered and easily available online
The snippet of ray tracing at the end of the og trailer was low-key amazing. I found out thanks to Nerrel who also made a texture pack for MM, and i can't wait to see how much more great this game will be in the near future. With model swaps, ray tracing, retextures, and a more quicker process than decompilation, it's gonna bring new life to N64 games.
There might need to be a bit of clarification recompilation is not the same as decompilation.
This is basically a container to excite the rom within but allows for all sorts of beat additions and tricks like new lighting effects such as ray tracing to be added.
But decompilation would ultimately be king as it allows for a widespread porting capabilities and uses the assets from games to build a native install for PC or whatever the target system is e.g Mario 64 for PC or sonic mania for psvita / wii
It is pretty laughable that they are rating something without even experiencing it, which in my opinion shouldn't happen. But then on the flip side if they did play the game then how many people would it take to get the job done and play every game to near completion?
Another factor is the fact that ratings have very little impact in our society. The only thing it does is force the younger kids to go find an adult to buy the game for them or just ask mommy and daddy. With such little importance why should an organization be forced to produce more in-depth research about something that the majority of people don't even look at?
One way they could improve this is by publishing the review and reasons for rating on-line so everyone can read why it deserves the given rating. That still won't change the fact that nine-year-olds are playing Grand Theft Auto though.
This debate could be a huge one.

they give the makers a paper that asked any sex ETC if they have 6 out of 10 its M or T its sad they need to play it themselfs
I already knew this too.
However, it is an interesting issue and one that needs to be tackled.
I personally think that we shouldnt have a rating system in the first place though.
They have benn doing it just fine for the last 12 years. They've added more to it and have evolved as games have. They've even added in a new rating E +10. They dont need to play a game to know what it should be rated. They can tell how bad it is just by watching gameplay.
Gamers wouldn't do the best job because we dont see whats so bad about games like GTA or Oblivion(which got moved up to a M). The best people are people that may not even play games... Moms, dads, anyone. Thats what ESRB does.
this si very old news
