Pocket Gamer has a story up about Sony's recent financial reports and the news looks grim for their tiny, black portable.
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
After selling over 20 million units worldwide over the course of 2.5 years the PSP needs a replacement.
That's the life cycle of portables, Nintendo makes a new Gameboy or DS every year, so its no wonder PSP sales are going to fall after 2.5 years.
Its time for the long awaited PSP 2.
It's been priced at $199~250 for a Very long time. Handhelds have differing life cycles from consoles, and I think it's time for Sony to release a slimmer, cheaper, and more updated version of the PSP.
In the October issue of PSM, they stated that Sony is in fact working on a new version that has a manual-load UMD slot (rather than a hatch), 4GB of built-in flash memory, is thinner, and costs significantly less to manufacture.
Where they got that info though is beyond me. Right now Sony's too busy prepping up the European launch, but after that's done it'll definitely be time to revive their little, black handheld. 20 million PSPs vs. 30 million DS's is very impressive. I never expected Sony to actually survive what ended up being Nintendo's market, so those numbers are surprising. They need to time it though with the new FF7 game that's coming out; that'll help a lot.
Just about 85% of PSP games are watered down versions of PS2 games. The DS is pumping out original titles left and right, and the PS3 should've had a UMD slot on it, that would have been kinda cool. If they had more title like that loco roco and luminous i even thought mercury was pretty good, it would have been alot better, i had both and before i pawned my psp it was collecting lots of dust.......
what if... the BluRay turns out like UMD
and... PS3 turns out like PSP....
ooohhh DS is killin PSP...
and..... Wii is killin PS3
Good thing I got psp.... 1.5 FW!!!!!
Hopefully.... sony makes games that can be used by two or more people at the same time... (only one UMD)
like... AFter Burn... Cool game
