Marvin Levy, spokesperson for Steven Spielberg, was kind enough to speak with us today regarding the recent surprise announcement from Universal Home Video Japan that Jaws, E.T., Jurassic Park and Back to the Future would be released on HD DVD?
Many players find it easier to express themselves while playing games. Yet, over half of the surveyed gamers still play to relieve stress.
I wonder what place made this study, and it's Fandom, no wonder half of the people said that, I find it hilarious that Fandom of all places did manage to pull more than 50% for the argument of playing games for self expression
I actually just play to relax/have fun, get immersed in another world for a while and enjoy the story/characters, who the hell plays to "express themselves"? I can understand how that applies to say Minecraft, where you're actually making things, but I don't think you can apply this to most games.
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?"
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.
"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.
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?
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
BTW BD is outselling HD DVD 4:1 in NA at the moment. Transformers had no impact on HD DVD sales . whereas BD has taken the lead further to 4:1.

HD DVD is now formally finsihed.
OH dont forget SPIDEY 3 and PIRATES 3 are due this FALL on BD
FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
They are already in Japan 10:1 and 6:1 in EU/PAL. Why is this being dragged out in NA I don't understand?
By the way anyone know how Transformers HD is doing since it is their biggest title recently? I know Blu-Ray countered by doing that buy one get one free deals everywhere but I still want to know how Transformers did.
Ok first off. Spielberg didnt direct BTTF so that could still happen.
Also the site is called blu ray.com wtf.
HD DVD is selling alot more standalone players the blu ray also. PS3 might be helping blu ray now but hometheater lovers dont wont a gaming console, the want a true player.
Once HD players drop under MSRp of 199 that will be a huge push.
With Paramount and Dreamworks siding with HD DVD that helps also.
It was Unverisal against the BDA but now everything is looking better for HD DVD.
