"The voice actor behind everyone’s favorite kung-fu chopping, noodle-stomping rapping dog recently got on several fans’ bad side after being accused of scamming fans out of money.
Parappa the Rapper star and professional rap artist Dred Foxx, who has voiced the titular character since its 1997 PS1 inception, had allegedly agreed in late 2012 to record ten lines of dialogue in his Parappa voice for a fanmade animation project by two college students named Jacob Collins and Cameron Perry.
The two students agreed to pay Foxx $100, but several months past with no results. Collins and Perry initially understood Foxx’s rationale for the lack of developments at first, owing it to the effects of Superstorm Sandy in late Oct. 2012 and the rapper’s computer issues. Foxx even said that if he couldn’t do it within a respectable amount of time that he would refund the money. However, after more weeks of in-action and a Facebook post where Foxx asked fans for donations for his broken iPad, the fan animators demanded a refund, threatening legal action." - Patrick Kulikowski
Teardown out today, November 15, all other titles available from November 21.
Grandia is especially nice, as I don't think it's available on psn atm. Wonder if it's a psx port or the Switch version.
If they didn't despise ps2, they could have added Grandia 2-3 as well.
It's not a despise. Far as I've read their working on better emulation. It'll come.
Been thinking of getting Teardown on Steam for Steam Deck play. Heard a lot of great reviews for it.
Played the first half hour last night. All I did was wreck a building but what a blast.
Nothing of interest for me. My sub is up in 2 weeks & I'll go with Essentials only for cloud saves & online. Having Extra or Premium is a waste for me seeing most games that land on the service are old that I've played already or old games I never had any interest in playing.
Respect your opinion, just pointing out that Teardown is a Day One Extra release for PS, not an old game in this case. Gotham Knights last month was a year old.
I have no interest in Teardown. I bought & played Gotham Knights when it was first released in October 2022. Every month I'm always buying the latest AAA or AA games when they first release to play on my PS5, the very reason why Extra & Premium is a waste of money for me.
Take a look at some PS1 game prices that have really taken off over the past 2 years. Some are trending much higher, but a few have dipped recently and it might be your last shot to get them into your collection affordably.
The 1990s were a golden era for gaming soundtracks and gaming as a whole. Here's some of the OSTs that defined the decade.
I would also include Super Metroid and the original Shin Megami Tensei on the SNES. Both had superb soundtracks!
He raps for a living,of course he is a criminal.
read this on neogaf the other day from the guy it happened to. This VA guy is a complete scammer and a dick
Finally this story is getting coverage. Hope the guys get their money back.
Wait! Did I read that correctly? He asked for fan donations on Facebook, for his broken IPad?
