funnily enough, emulation developers still don't care and happily mention first-party games on their websites
but emulation development is generally not a commercial endeavor, while Analogue is

nintendo basicly did everything they could to stop modchips and the things like the everdrive in AU
when it comes to 3rd party things form nintendo. never assume lack of support was accidental and not covering their asses from being sued
mossy flume
Yeah, I could buy that
robust latch
nintendo. we make some of our games for our new consoles you just have to pay for what you already own again for the privlage even though we stole most of our emulator code from open source projects and had those shut down
mossy flume
Yeah I did notice that first party games were never mentioned in any reviews
Pokémon Stadium was, though
(But technically not first party)
mossy flume
Oh, that was EAD? Hrm

If you don't count the built-in emulator, it is purely a battle game-

They are indeed first party and I believe they always have been

Game Sack did show SM64 running on it
he also mentioned MiSTer by name, but reviews are normally forbidden from doing so as well, as far as I've been told
wind stump
hard to call a game with no levels or random encounters an RPG after all
mossy flume
This guy also mentioned MiSTer. As did Modern Vintage Gamer.
But ah, SM64 was indeed in both of these videos now that you mention it
wind stump
well i mean, technically there's level caps for the various cups, but you can't earn EXP from them
mossy flume
They just focus on third party ones
visual hill
it probably helps, since it means it doesn't show up in a transcript that may be scraped by Nintendo's IP enforcement services like MarkMonitor
wind stump
well i mean, technically there's level caps for the various cups, but you can't ...
yeah digging into it Colosseum (and by proxy, XD) are classified as "RPGs"
just
fuckin' weird to see a Pokemon game with "Turn Based Strategy" as the genre
(That isn't something like Pokemon Conquest)
anyway there's your unneeded "well actually" tangent for the day 
mossy flume
Macho Nacho Productions does say "Ocarina of Time" while showing footage from it, at 14:55
Not the full title, but shrug
robust latch
hmmm, maybe its not 1st party that they dint want mentioned but ones that are on the offical nintendo virtual consoles

they could do like Ship of Harkinian and always call it OOT or MM

Macho may have done a booboo then showing OOT

hmm LGR showed goldeneye but now i cant rmemeber if it was mentioned by name

they should have all just showed and played conkers bad fur day
mossy flume
Hehe
robust latch
given how much nintendo doesnt seem to like that one even coming up related to them

GoldenEye is one of those games that is third-party but also kind of first-party, it's weird
like most of Rare's games on Nintendo consoles, but GoldenEye might be more in this situation than others

LGR did direct comparisons with original N64 hardware and his MiSTer while also showing a lot of first party games. If there are restrictions on these reviews, nobody's adhering to them. XD
He even talks about ROMs a bit (mentions they can't be used) and every review talks about whether flash carts work or not, or in LGR's case, fan-made romhacks

Not only is Hytale back, but just a day after this announcement, they have posted 16+ minutes of raw gameplay footage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhaqjb_S2X8
And it looks far more polished than I was expecting. Still shows a little bit of jank and incompleteness here and there, but damn, I'd play it
green fulcrum
It's something at least
I love the world map, how it shows elevation clearly and how the land is shaped.

Minecraft is being ruined slowly by Microsoft
And its at breaking point on bedrock
slim thorn
it is?
green fulcrum
Again...Microsoft does not touch Minecraft's gameplay, content, or anything else aside about it aside from the Brand and marketing, and getting a share of the profits.
Everything. Else. Is. Mojang. Yes, even that. And yes, even those. And yes, even the EULA and chat reports and telemetry and all of that nonsense. All of it. Mojang.
Mojang themselves have been telling people this for over a decade.

Hell, people have been saying that since before 1.0

...you know firearms are older than plate armour, right?
green fulcrum
...you know firearms are older than plate armour, right?
It's more so that Hytale is (was?) also gonna have plasma rifles and such, and other higher-tech weaponry. Personally I'm not bothered by it, games like Terraria have done it before, but it is admittedly a little jarring.
green fulcrum
That I concur with

Oh ok yeah that is jarrkng

There's a reason why it's called "Bugrock" by the community

so
arctic fern
Its just something people seem to forget when they talk about guns in fantasy
green fulcrum
Hell, even Melody can attest to finding some weird-ass bugs in Bedrock edition, which is the version she plays the most.
arctic fern
Our modern idea of "fantasy" largely stems from LOTR
river veldt
idk ive always respected Mojang's refusal to put firearms in Minecraft
it's just weird
arctic fern
Yeah but this isnt minecraft
river veldt
sure but it's not insane to compare the two
arctic fern
This clearly has skill or class systems and more indepth combat in general
I assume bows dont get 3 arrows by default at least
slim thorn
why does this feel like a “cell phones don’t belong in MLP” conversation
river veldt
im just saying i wasn't expecting it is all 
i thought it was a high fantasy setting
green fulcrum
Our modern idea of "fantasy" largely stems from LOTR
LotR for the staples in fantasy like Elves, Goblins, Orcs, Dwarves, etc., and Narnia for the more magical side of things and the more varied races. There's also tons of other progenitors to modern fantasy like Earthsea and other books, but I'm not as familiar with those ones.
river veldt
it was slightly jarring going from bows and swords and then the character suddenly pulling out an AK-47
slim thorn
oh yeah that’s weirdly specific
random steppe
...you know firearms are older than plate armour, right?
Well IDK older, depends where in the world, but even then we are talking about stuff like this, not an automatic rifle
It was more portable shitty small cannons
river veldt
now that would be cool to see in a game
arctic fern
I hadn't gotten to the gun showcase and did not realise we were talking AK47s
I thought we were talking flintlock
river veldt
no 😭
random steppe
I think at best flintlock stuff would look fine, that stuff was weird as fuck, it looked like the AK-47 mod for elden ring
arctic fern
Yeah I fully agree with cm then lol
But it depends how the game functions! Terraria did it
green fulcrum

Hytale is more like science fantasy, like Pathfinder. You've got magic, swords, shields, spears, and old fashioned armor on one side, and then aliens, guns, and high-tech machinery like holograms and computers on the other (no joke, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous has an entire section in the game where you explore a ruined alien ship that has been taken over by a cult of technology-worshipping guys who have become something akin to Borg; there's computers, high tech doors, holograms, energy shields, and more).
arctic fern
Damn lol
green fulcrum
Also, that section of the game is hell on Earth to fight through, lol
random steppe
It is very weird in context of that trailer, but IDK how the game is gonna work, I could see if it had a very large tech tree that eventually included some modern looking stuff.
It was jarring because most of the showcase is bows and daggers and shields.
Probably a better idea not to include it in that trailer if you ask me, and make a showcase when the character is going around with more high tech stuff later on, it was just so random
green fulcrum
It is very weird in context of that trailer, but IDK how the game is gonna work,...
It's mostly a story-less game like Minecraft. There's a singleplayer survival gamemode where you're dumped in a world and you survive and thrive against the environment, maybe with some randomly-generated quests with the NPCs and such.
Then there's multiplayer with minigames, servers, map-making, movie-making (unless this was scrapped), and more.
random steppe
Yeah I'm talking about the progression
green fulcrum
Ah
arctic fern
Oh yeah damn I just saw the gun
That really is jarring
Looked like it had explosive bullets
random steppe
Not saying the game shouldn't have it, just that if it has it with more modern stuff, it's weird to just whip it out when you are showcasing exclusively medieval-style gear alongside it
green fulcrum
I mean, even in the thumbnail it shows the player weilding two plasma pistols(?)

two daggers

BTW I fired one of those things once, blank, the only technically a firearm thing I ever used.
It's loud as fuck
arctic fern
Damn that's cool
Also dangerous
I've fired a double barrel once
Just once
It hurt my shoulder
random steppe
I didn't load it, I did medieval renactment and we had an ex cop doing most of the handling of the thingy
arctic fern
Ah
random steppe
You literally have to pour the black powder in it, literally a less automated flintlock pistol
green fulcrum
I will say though, this is gorgeous. Love the colors
sacred grove
Yeah. If anything, this footage shows a whole lot of potential. This is what early access is going to look like, and it already looks pretty neat
random steppe
The game does look promising for sure
green fulcrum
Lol, just found the AK-47 bit. Of all the sounds I was expecting to come out of that barrel, I was not expecting...
-# Dkdkdkdkdkdkdkdk
sacred grove
I get the feeling that the gun is either a clear WIP, or it was meant to show off modded content. But we'll see
green fulcrum
Nah, there are no mods yet, this is vanilla gameplay
The guns were always part of the trailer
sacred grove
What I meant is that they already have modding tools, so naturally they would want to test them
But yeah, point taken
green fulcrum
Alright, this is cool too
random steppe
My assumption is that they wanted to showcase the gun because it's in the game and it's gonna get people talking, and it's gonna be positioned in a more appropriate point of the tech tree and when you are gonna get it ingame you are also gonna have more modern gear to go along with it, but in this case they just brought it out early, possibly because of that tech tier is the only thing they have in the game and working.
sacred grove
Either fast travel, or other dimensions?
If anything, this is a whole lot further along than Minecraft's early stages, if anyone remembers those days
random steppe
I sure hope so, isn't this in development since the stone ages or something?
river veldt
i remember CaptainSparklez talking about it in like 2018
sacred grove
I believe this particular version of the game stopped development around 2020/2021 before they tried to transition everything to an entirely different engine
Under the re-acquisition of Hytale, they're moving forward with the original engine and vision of the game
which, clearly, was already in a very playable state. So that makes a lot of sense
mossy flume
Is that satire? XD
quiet swift
No, he's serious
mossy flume
...oh my god.
quiet swift
A few weeks ago on his stream he was saying "don't let THAT game win GOTY or get nominated" or something of the sort
quiet swift
AI voices, similar to... I think it was The Finals?
mossy flume
Ah
quiet swift
""The world is just not ready for AI in video games, not yet. They're just not ready," he asserts, referring to Arc Raiders' controversial use of AI voice lines. For context, although developer Embark hired voice actors for the game, it uses a combination of recorded lines and text-to-speech tech, with the latter used for some NPC dialogue and things like player ping communications in what's understandably been a very divisive choice."
He's not exactly wrong in that sense but there's no timeline where it was winning vs E33

Exactly my thoughts here.

And it's just like... boy, Prime 4 wasn't nominated for most anticipated game. We can't always get what we want.

Kind of yeah 
I didn't want to waste time watching the long death animations so if I see I'm gonna mess up I just rather restart and also by restarting I can also make the game not count that death either too 
but mostly the time thing
unfortunately that mode is hard as balls so I don't know if I can even finish it
that's how I even got hurt in the first place, was a fucking party going on there
green fulcrum
Okay, I've heard Dispatch is fantastic...but this one isn't even close.
quiet swift
Death Stranding 2 had great tracks too but Hades 2 just scratches my brain in a ...
I have like 250 hours in hades 2 and it's absolutely phenomenal soundtrack, but E33's just was stellar in all kinds of ways
fresh bane
That's why I say I'm biased, to be fair I didn't have that much interest in E33 which is why I probably don't remember much music from it, it was really beautiful, but I think Hades 2's was super unique in comparison to a technically impressive beautiful orchestra, so that's why I'd probably pick it
it's also why I'd pick it over DS2 which I actually did really like, just because Hades 2's sound is much more distinctive
fresh bane
Okay, I've heard Dispatch is fantastic...but this one isn't even close.
I came across a post where the megabonk dev actually said he rejects the nomination or something because it's not actually his debut game?
they should probably update the site

fresh bane
green fulcrum
Minecraft or TLOU are winning this one, I think. Didn't even realize Splinter Cell and Until Dawn even got adaptations.
fresh bane
I don't know anything about the Splinter Cell one, Until Dawn was horrible
It was a super weird like time loop nonsense plot that had nothing to do with the game
green fulcrum
I'm gonna vote for the Minecraft movie, as much as it's an abomination, it's at least a fun abomination. From what I hear, TLOU S2 isn't nearly as good as S1, even though it's still good, but I don't really like zombies soooooo...
fresh bane
I'm reading that Splinter Cell was good, but just not very Splinter Cell-y
so the usual ''it was good, just not a good adaptation''
I wish I could say the same about DMC
I don't even know anything about the TLOU show, I heard people were mad at season 2 but I can't tell if it was a repeat of the second game's twist or if the second season was actually bad
I mean either way I think the second game was bad regardless so it would've been bad to me, but unlike most people in the world (apparently) I don't wanna waste my time watching something I already know I'm not going to like, even if it's adapting something I like
green fulcrum
I don't think S2 even covered all of TLOU 2, so I think it's both?
fresh bane
that's weird because I'm pretty sure TLOU 1 plus the DLC was longer than 2
I was also gonna say where's Fallout but I forgot it came out last year because I've been seeing the teasers for the next season and I thought it was from this year woof
green fulcrum
Got to the esports categories. Man, I do not give a shit about any of these people, lol. Just picked random ones.
quiet swift
I'm in it, in an episode's background

The Fallout show is great, but S2 won't be ready in time for the show, so they can't nominate it. It'll be nominated next year though.

So what do we have, a game that's barely even out probably still not actually released officially, re-release collection, a game that's pretty good and old-school style but absolutely nobody played and everyone forgot about immediately, another re-release and a pretty bad one, another re-release actually pretty good but it's Virtua Fighter so nobody talked about it like 5 days after it came out
green fulcrum
Which one's the bad re-release?
bronze abyss

They're in order so the MK one
fresh bane
Just generally lacking in features and bad input lag, feels bad to play, and matches are incredibly laggy

Gives people no reason to choose it over Fightcade for online play, but MK has always gone for a more mainstream and casual audience that prioritizes offline play and single player content, so they probably don't really feel that same lackluster feeling

Unity games will apparently be compatible within fortnite in 2026
Neat
gaunt marten
What does that even mean?
gaunt marten
I looked it up. What it actually means is that you can build a game in Unity then submit it for review. Upon passing it'll be included as a Fortnite Experience, and playable from within the platform.
So Unity as an engine will be possible to hook into Fortnite, but Unity games will not be. You can't take say, Hollow Knight and play it in Fortnite
astral steeple
Still kinda insane ngl lol
gaunt marten
It's like any normal platform
astral steeple
Also obviously I wasn't saying existing unity games would be playable lol
Was specifically referring to games made within unity

astral steeple
Didn't expect it at all due to unity and unreal being like competing engines lol
gaunt marten
astral steeple
Didn't expect it at all due to unity and unreal being like competing engines lol
Though they are making it with unreal engine 6 so that a developer can either deploy a game on its own or into fort itself and whichever one the developer chooses the players can have access to all their owned fort skins etc within those games
So it's a bit surprising but not completely unexpected overall

This is so dumb lol

mossy flume
Time to remaster Arise next
toxic seal
There are a lot of posts joking about that in the /r/tales subreddit
The only thing I can see that may need remastering in Berseria is support for higher framerates (currently can only be 30 or 60) and higher resolution, though I think it already does support up to 4K. Graphics and textures are already decent and definitely don't look any better from the Remaster trailer than they already do. This "remaster" just seems to be adding ports to Switch and Xbox (already available on PC and PS5 via PS4 disc/download), giving a digital bonus of minor items, and some physical collectibles if you buy the collector's edition
Like, Bamco, just give us Xillia 2, a new Tales title, then get back to Berseria for, I dunno, a remaster in 2031

Doom Eternal is widely considered the best modern Doom game
vivid glen
ohh cool, i know i really liked eternal (even though i didnt beat it..) and 16 was loads of fun too
gaunt marten
Personally I enjoy Doom 2 a lot
vivid glen
I saw the trailers for dark ages and was sort of thrown off by it lol
the only experience i had with and doom before 2016 was getting to boot on computers we build in engineering class back in high-school
fickle garnet
speaking of doom has anyone tried the newest one? I feel like i heard about it m...
Doom The Dark Ages is really good imo, it's slower than Eternal, but is really fun and has an enjoyable story
vivid glen
my first thought it that it would be more melee focused since it looked medieval which if its true does sound kind of fun
if anything ill pick it up when it goes on sale for super cheap
add it to my ever expanding backlog
fickle garnet
It has more melee than 2016 and Eternal, but it's not very melee focused. It's still a shooter, the melee is just a side thing

Having played 3 Remastered... Good idea.

thats the general consensus that I've seen online lol, i would genuinly get upset about something gameplay related and end up just dropping it

🇫🇷 <:crowofjudgement:733666615660380231>
They're both so fucking good I can't choose😭
fresh bane
So yeah, i'm expecting sub-1k. Whether that's 699, 799, 899 or 999, who knows ye...
Definitely gonna be interesting seeing where they end up going with it
I don't see even Valve going too cheap for this because yeah they sold things like the Steam Deck at a relatively reasonable price and at a loss but at the same time too expensive and a lot of people that would otherwise go for a console/PC hybrid are probably not gonna bother and just get like, a digital PS5 instead or something
so we'll see I guess
sacred grove
I suspect that the steam machine won't sell quite as well as a Deck, so, they would have to make up for that at least
I might be wrong though. We haven't had this easy of an entry into PC gaming before, so we'll see
Valve might very well be making a new market for themselves
fresh bane
Yeah that's the thing just like the Steam Deck was kind of a new thing this is also a new thing so it's gonna be really hard to compare it to something else
I mean, sure, it's a PC, but we haven't had someone that actually tried to make a console-like experience on a PC device
so it's all gonna be pretty new
and who knows maybe in the future other similar devices will pop up in the same way similar Steam Deck-likes popped up
we'll just have to wait and see honestly
vivid glen
if anything i might be more excited for the vr headset
I've had a HTC Vive for years and ita treated me nicely but ive been looking for something to replace it when the time comes
fresh bane
I think the controller's gonna be the biggest hit probably
it actually looks really cool and probably gonna be really useful for anyone that might want to use it for PC navigation purposes too
river veldt
i love the controller it looks so cool
fresh bane
VR is cool but VR is still super niche and a lot of people don't have a VR system or don't care for it, the Steam Machine has a chance of being niche too, the controller looks like it's gonna be pretty cool
vivid glen
I have loved the feeling of the steam deck so just being able to have that in a smaller form is heavenly
Plus valve made the steam deck easy to fix yourself so i am expecting that for the controller and hopefully the machine
sacred grove
If they provide parts for it, yeah. While the steam machine will be a PC that can be opened up, it's very much specialized around packing everything into that dense cube. So it'll need special exclusive parts as opposed to stuff that you'd normally put into a desktop PC
The nvme storage will be the easiest to replace though
It'll be interesting to watch steam machine teardowns, to get a deeper look into it

modern Doom games are singleplayer-focused, so they don't have a big long trail like a multiplayer game can
(to be fair, even classic Doom was singleplayer-focused, the fact it still has a multiplayer community is kind of an anomaly... but a welcome one)
Doom TDA is still too expensive on my end, I'll check it out when it goes more on sale
I assume it will have some DLC coming out too? I don't remember. I'd also prefer buying a complete edition so I don't need to shell out money twice
it's what I did for Doom Eternal, I got the complete edition for €15 in late 2022

my bet is $900, but with current DRAM prices, even that may be jeopardized
even competing with PS5 Pro pricing is going to be difficult, although it might be in a similar ballpark to a PS5 Pro + optical drive bundle

Not just a standalone rumor, but coinciding with a bunch of other Valve things. It would make sense
for it to be announced in 2025 and then released alongside their new hardware in March
Valve also promised a new edition of Raising the Bar in 2025
So, it's just everything lining up very conveniently that makes it feel more tangible

best art direction
....goddammit, I can't choose
Death Stranding 2 is unbelievable, but so is E33
Putting in my votes for the Game Awards now and I’m now being forced to really think about the nominees. Some of these categories are just impossible to vote on. Choosing just one best performance or just one best art direction feels deeply unfair. They’re all unbelievably good this year.
There are a couple of E33 votes I have trouble making when Death Stranding 2 is also a nominee. But almost all of them are instant E33 votes. XD

it also feels like "actually fictional" characters are out of scope
as difficult as it might be to distinguish that from a vtuber persona these days
cunning galleon
Both are fictional but the only difference is we know who gold ship is irl and we don't know who, for example, Usada Pekora, is in real life
Gold Ship would be a valid nominee around 2018 where she was really active
Some vtuber wikis even count her as one

Oh! Apparently Mike Straw is a game journalist for 15 years and is the Senior Editor of Insider Gaming. Apparently he is highly trustworthy.
The plot thickens.

More survey than study. According to the article it was a survey of 700 American children ages 5 to 17, but there is nothing about the demographics there other than numbers. It doesn't say where or how they were surveyed, exactly what sort of people answered, or other bits that might make the survey statistically significant.

also 5-17 is a very broad range of "children"
i had vastly different tastes at 15 than i did at 5
anyway i think we can ignore this "study"

Depends on the person, I guess. I know my interests changed a fair bit as I grew up.

Sometimes the change is subtle enough that you don't really notice it for a while

Man, I'm wanting to buy a simple PC case since I am planning to do some upgrades during the next year or so, and what the fuck?
Why are there no normal pc cases anymore? Everything has to have glass side panels.
I have no interest in people looking inside my computer, I want no fancy RGB led anyway, and having glass on my case sounds just an objective downside all around.
less metal on the body = worse at dissipating heat.

I think Fractal also has some reasonable non-flashy or glass options
random steppe
Yeah fractal was he only one that looked any good
bequiet has some too, thanks for the heads up, of course I have to measure some shit up before I commit but at least some exist

bequiet should be decently available in eu,i got all of my stuff locally and most of my pc is be quiet

I like having a glass side panel because it means I can check to see if my fans are running without opening the computer

It does seem harder than it should be to find any
Amazon shows me something called "Vultech" but I haven't heard of them before
random steppe
The coolermaster one did pique my interest, but seems hard to find, maybe it's getting discontinued, I'll give it another look later
It would definitely be nice to switch to a more modern case, the one I'm using has like, 20 years
It's massively big and like, it's a metal box, so it's not like it can break down, at worse you swap the PSU or a fan once in a while and it keeps chugging
but it's kind of annoying to have to find creative ways to shove stuff in places it doesn't have slots for because it was made when floppy disks were still rather common

My old case, I called it the monolith. Massive beast.
you were in Italy if I remember right? Or was that someone else?
random steppe
correct
quiet swift
That does make it tough. There's no real PC hardware specific store there that I can find.
Alternate.de is one site that I could recommend, but you'd have to add whatever the shipping cost is between italy and Germany, and you might even have to call to process the order since they have to go through a process to send stuff out of germany
...The fuck is that link, Amazon?

ah yes, sr=1-22. My favoirte

I'm likely buying one of the fractal ones off amazon.
That one is pretty nice too, thanks for the find
I have to verify compatibility with my hardware before committing though

Fractal does look pretty neat

seal it completely and put actual tropical fish into the case; the computer will keep them warm

aren't there PC cases with like, fish tanks on them?
or like, emulations of them?

Yep yep. Fractal Design have a lot of high quality metal cases with windowless options and interior insulation for noise suppression while simultaneously having thoughtful access and airflow design. Also some understated and more artsy designs available.
Fractal Design is basically the one source I know of that gives real options that aren't just g@m3r aesthetic

speaking of cases my current situation is...fun
i plan on upgrading from a 3080 to 5080 and im not sure if it will fit in my case cuz the 3080 already almost grazes the AIO,so i might need to upgrade not just the gpu but also psu and the case which would be tricky cuz some screws were stripped by the original builder of my pc
