Oh, Sony, Sony where art thou? Europe apparently doesn't want Sony's expensive PlayStation 3, with the French organizers describing the Paris launch of the PS3 a "non-event".
As expected, Sony fans here in Europe turned out to be not so "true-blue" to their favorite brand, some of them starting to bash Sony for its "infatuation" and for the high price established in the PAL areas for the PS3.
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
Its like this website (N4G) hates the PS3. All i see is BASH after BASH.
whats up with this website man. are you all sony haters...geez
And i want to see the sony fanboys spin this one into a positive
The only one guilty of spin is the writer of the article. He headlines PS3 launch a disaster 95% of Consoles Left Unsold. Well its accuarate if you take only the numbers that where sold at the one location 50 out of 1000, if those are to believed. However he did say another location sold under 300 so thats what 20 to 30% depending on the actual number. Not to mention with everyone know how many systems where available and all the preorders why would anyone show up at midnight ravinous to get one when they can simply go in the next day and pick one up? Lets wait till the offical sales numbers come out before resorting to sensational headlines clearly distorting the facst only to drive trafic to your website so you can make money :P
Unlike every other system release including Sony's stateside / JPN release the was a crapload of them. Most people who were going to get them just preordered and picked them up instore.
Be hard to have 95% left if 60% of the countries allocation was preordered wouldn't it:

Chalk it up to shoddy journalism.
I'm sorry to say it, but although this article is a little harsh, at the same time, I dont think its harsh because the writer hates Sony. I think its harsh because he was so disappointed at the poor turnout. I had a feeling the Eurpoean launch wouldnt be the resounding success that everyone was predicting. After all, who could be happy having to wait like that? And with the bad news about the console, I have a feeling a lot of people just didnt wait. Even with "bad sales" though, this will help Sony close the gap, although maybe not as much as they had hoped.
Edit: I'd like to add, it isnt unreasonable to quote the numbers from the launch near the Eiffle tower, right? I mean, that had to be their flagship launch in France.
