i hate to say that its good
rustic falcon
having janky combat, graphics and VA in a remake youre charging $70 for is not a good thing
fathom juniper
but if it is then it's gonna replace the original game
and if it's not then wtf was the point of it anyway?
rustic falcon
🤔
fathom juniper
people remember SH2 for what it is - the good, the bad, the ugly and the sad
rustic falcon
i really dont understand
rustic falcon
and the inaccesible because most people dont have a ps2 and the game nowadays
yes!
fathom juniper
EXACTLY
rustic falcon
but it doesnt make the original not exist
fathom juniper
exactly my point
rustic falcon
it builds upon it
fathom juniper
most people don't have ps1 or 2 to play old tomb raider or mgs games
and guess what
they came to pc and modern consoles eventually
just the way they were before
but sh2?
yeah nah
i wouldn't be dunking on this remake of the OG was available
but it's not
fathom juniper
but it doesnt make the original not exist
does it exist on steam?
psn?
epic games store?
no - it doesn't
you can't buy it anymore
rotund umbra
Twitter
fathom juniper
so the only legal way for newcomers to experience sh2 is to play a remake
which - by it's nature - is not original
meanwhile modders made SH2: Enhanced edition which covers everything i mentioned above
FOR FREE
and the only way to play that confortably on modern hardware is to...
instal it ontop a pirated copy 
see what i mean?
tribal lotus
if they are calling it a remaster maybe they will fix bugs, but any janky gameplay will probably still exist. if it is a remaster they gonna polish the existing code and scripts not rewrite it.
fathom juniper
oh christ almighty we're arguing nomenclature now
poorly, i may add
i don't care if it's called a remake or a remaster or re-edition or whatever
i care about the fact that you can't legally buy one of the most important games ever made
but instead you can buy a re-whatever made by freakin boober team
tribal lotus
just saying they might fix bugs but they aren’t gonna make the game more finished than it was.
fathom juniper
proving once again that game preservation is best done by pirates
not publishers who contract B-tier developers to replace the artistry of the original title with their own interpretation
oh you mean tomb raider 
sorry i got lost in my ranting
tribal lotus
you rant too fast
fathom juniper
tribal lotus
does backwards compatibility on console (sometimes working ok) by your standards make remasters forbidden?
fathom juniper
im a pc player so i don't know what "backwards compatibility" means lmao
but seriously though
in a perfect world back compat would be guaranteed
good back compat would make remasters like that pointless
but since we don't have that
collections like TR4-6 is the second best choice
tribal lotus
i think sometimes remasters for console games are done because the backwards compatibility is jank. then they decide to also put it on PC because they usually touch up some graphics and think the shiny can sell it.
fathom juniper
yeah i suppose?
like - few months ago i replayed FEAR
the first one AKA the good one
and while it was a benchmark title in 2005, nowadays it kinda looks like ass - especially since some effects (like soft shadows) are broken out of the box on modern hardware
and guess what?
i was able to bring that back - and do much, much more - in just a few hours after following a few simple tutorials i googled
basically modding-in my own """""""remaster"""""""
and there are countless examples like that
just look at any bethesta game older than 5 years or whatever
but since we can't do that ourselves on consoles
someone has to do that for us, and we're paying for their work
tribal lotus
for example each edition of tlou targets a different playstation ps3, ps4, ps5. i guess that is the reason for each to exist. (ducks and hides)
fathom juniper
you don't have to hide
cause that's kinda what i mean
that ps4 version was...
well - while im not a fan of tlou i can see the point in it - you can't run ps3 games on 4 so they just bumped up the resolution and made it run at acceptable framerates and pushed it out the door - whatever
the ps5 remake?
it's a pointless waste of money
at least they didn't rewrite the story or whatever

SH2R falls into the first category for whoever doesn't want to get a pirated copy of the game in the first place
fathom juniper
i think i know how to explain my hatred towards full fledged remakes @rustic falcon
let's change SH2 to... TRANSISTOR
imagine if SGGs still worked under a publisher, and that publisher decided to remake transistor
but since SGGs are busy with hades 2 let's give it to... boober team
now the game is still pretty but we need a selling point... 
oh! i know! 4k! let's grind all this gorgeous art through AI just to scale it up - artifacts be damned
and let's port it to unreal and make it 3d and switch to an over-the-shoulder camera and slap taa and some other crap to create more motion artifacts cause that's a standard now that people expect!
now - mr. cunningham is probably busy with hades 2 and we gotta re-record all dialogue... for some reason, so let's hire mr. gruff tuff guy troy baker instead and call it an "homage" to early concepts where blue was a tough boxer, yeah 
let's rewrite some lines while we're at it too and remove some too
it's coming along well, but that real-time combat might still be a bit too clunky for our modern target audience - let's make it faster, smoother and more responsive
well crap now we gotta change level design too to accommodate that
well damn now turn() mode is kinda pointless - let's remove the cooldown phase to encourage people to use it a bit more
now all that's left to do is take twice as long to make the damn thing, triple hardware requirements, sell it for 60 bucks and we're golden!
and just to mirror that SH2 situation completely - let's remove the original game from stores
i know i'm over exaggerating there, but hopefully this gets my convoluted point across
fathom juniper
SH2R falls into the first category for whoever doesn't want to get a pirated cop...
we wouldn't be here if this arguably most important horror game ever made was still on stores
it's up there with RE 1
signal kayak
Or, instead of bashing a well made remake, you could bash the company that delisted it if there wasn't a good reason to do so
Because for better or worse, not everybody has a PC, or PS2 or Xbox and a copy of the original game, or don't wanna yarrharr a copy for whatever reason
Not defending a multi million dollar company here, because nobody likes it when games get delisted (understandably so), but when a game is good, it should at least get some credit for that
fathom juniper
Or, instead of bashing a well made remake, you could bash the company that delis...
exactly
when a game is good it should get credit for that
and that's what pisses me off about this situation
because we've made some progress in games preservation over the last few years
there's a lot of re-releases of old games on new hardware that don't change the story, dialogue, music, voiceacting and what not
at most the only thing that changes are tech aspects
i mean - hell - even konami somehow managed to bring mgs3 to pc
a thing i thought to be impossible just a few years back
sure the port was janky af but modders fixed it in a few weeks
so why in tf can't they do it with sh2?
ESPECIALLY AFTER THEY DID IT ALREADY ON THE 360!
yeah!
remember the hd collection?
it had the same challenges im ranting about here and they...
well the port sucked ass but they at least managed to get over legal challenges (regarding the VA)
so... yeah
there is a good game that isn't getting credit cause it's not on the stores and it's being replaced by something different
signal kayak
...dude, again, bash the company that delisted it, not the remake, at least the remake is good

yeah - by word of mouth
it's been 20 years and there's an entire generation out there that can't - and probably won't ever - experience the original game that got us here in the first place
they can do that with re1, doom, whatever
but sh2 and 3?
yeah no screw that, i guess 
it boggles my mind that there are people that swear for game preservation and sign petitions because their favourite youtuber told them so...
...while also pogging at a mere trailer of a remake with creative and artistic changes
it's not a re-make
it's a re-placement

A TB of leaked content of the betas from Gen3-6, alongside their conceptual arts, + Pokémon Home codenames for unreleased Megas like ||Zygarde and Zeraora||, alongside the general development level of the upcoming game Legends Z-A
which seems to be mostly done
the leaked content makes it easier for people to make romhacking tools for Gen 4 and 5, so the romhacking scene should technically flourish after this, but people are afraid of using the source material of the mapmakers it has, because it might get C&D'd by Gamefreak and Nintendo

for two reasons
1 - it's the weakest of the mainline series imho

the former can only gain from it, the latter can at best be equal
and 2 - i really wanna see them dancing around the racial issues they themselves got into by their own volition

Sheva?
analog wraith
Nah the baddies
fathom juniper
both
and more
keep in mind - re5 didn't start as a co-op game
look at the first trailer - it just shows this mr, huge mcbiglarge american hero going to africa and fighting entire villages of locals
and they're all in shadows and presented in such a sinister creepy way - even without any parasites or whatever
and that - obviously - made a lot of people go 
and rightfully so
so to backtrack that they only then added sheva
which then led to co-op
which then led to changing a lot of design (that first trailer has some sick dodge moves that are nowhere to be seen in the main game)
but the script?
it kinda suffers cause sheva doesn't... do much there
like - they had an idea for a game
with a disingenuous presentation but cool ideas for gameplay
but then they had to backtrack that to fix the former and the latter suffered
now they have the opportunity to fix both but god they have to be really delicate about it
also - i can't wait to see what they do with the infamous boulder-punching scene

what an awful achievement
took me about 300 cycles of not building any proper generator

What game?
rotund umbra
oxygen not included
other than manual generators you can only build steam or solar but it takes ages to actually being able to build them and use them, coal generators you get right away and are super easy to get
I have 70 tons of coal currently that couldn't use until now
solar I didn't get until somewhere between cycle 200 and 250, steam I tried to get going but it wasn't super reliable
dire condor
i think warframe is the most fun i had in a f2p game
yeep I've been an off and on player of warframe since 2015 or so
I'm MR 27 tho I'd probably be max MR if I hadn't started on PS4 and then migrated to PC
I'd honestly argue it's one of the best free to play games out there
Pretty grindy but I don't mind, because I've always liked the slower gradual progress
twin yarrow
steam engines actually feel like they're taking more energy to heat up the steam than actually produce
so they're like, either used at lava layers, or to take the heat out of the world
otherwise it's like powering solar panels with lamps

twin yarrow
I wanted to put it above a steam vent, but they take so long to actually make st...
well, if that's cold steam vent, it's better to use it to produce water rather than steam.. and use steam engine to avoid overheating of the system
people make things that cool the steam from the vent immediately so it'll never overpressure and will be always producing at maximum
then the water can be used for idk, oxygen generation
like this abomination here
twin yarrow
it picks up the nuts falling
i wanted to make a building that can utilize the natural generation without digging in it too much
it turned out even worse tho
aesthetically-wise
rotund umbra
I thought my piping was madness
twin yarrow
i've seen it, it's actually pretty tidy
rotund umbra
but I'm still kind of long time away from the true madness I think, just starting to deal with uranium
got to second planetoid through the teleporter and there's beeta hives there so preparing to plunder them

if you're having clean and functional layouts so early in the game, you'll likely not get to the madness and spaghetti im getting in

currently trying to move some of my production away from the centre of the colony cause having heat problems, with oil refining and plastic and such
twin yarrow
yeah, that's inconvenient
rotund umbra
and then hoping to start building rockets
and also the name of the game is starting to rear its head, running out of algea
as in have 0 currently lol
twin yarrow
it almost seems like the game is designed to have common bumps and problems at some point
rotund umbra
lol yeah
rotund umbra
I am 310 cycle but on the easier difficulty, cause on normal I usually gave up around 170 cause 6 duplicants die at once or something
rotund umbra
usually heat related
or stress
they start freaking out at 100% and then end up doing something that gets them killed
while they're underwater or stuff like that
then the other ones die trying to contiune the work of those that died
then I just quit
rotund umbra
it also took me like two colonies to realize that no, you cannot send duplicants into 90° heat without an enviro suit lol
well you can but then it ends how it ends
but yeah I love the gameplay, it's basically like a resource management rougelike
kind of like FTL but on much bigger scale
and way more complicated lol
twin yarrow
my dums were so desperate to pick up the junk from the deepest oli layers, in hot carbon dioxide, that i just had to board it up..
rotund umbra
YES
rotund umbra
I haven't reached oil until this colony so by that point I was smart enough to actually build a enviro checkpoint but similar things would happen to me
and that's currently my problem on the second planetoid, don't have refinery for metals there so what I do is teleport all cobalt to the first planetoid, refine it and then send it back lol
so I can build the checkpoints there as well
twin yarrow
goodness
yeah, that's probably the way
at first you have to send there food, supplies and stuff
and then.. and then idk
rotund umbra
the second planetoid is basically a stripminning operation right now, there's gonna be nothing left when I'm done with it
twin yarrow
haven't got into secondary planetoids so far
rotund umbra
well food and stuff you can get there from plants at least at first but the biggest problem is that you can only send one dupe at a time and it takes 5 cycles to recharge the teleporter, so the dupe you send first has to be ready to handle anything
it's like starting a new colony but with only one dupe, and you can't teleport materials at first because the duplicant teleporter is different from the materials teleporter, and materials teleporters have to be activated on both sides, sender and receiver
and you have to find both because they are usually far apart, at least on the starting planet
