What's on your mind, Axa?
That looks like it'd be fun to give a go with a friend a few times. The 3D looks like it'd be cool in this case, but I wear glasses and that's a huge pain in the rear end.

I played it twice. It's generally easy to predict an incoming jump scare, since the game likes to go quiet right before one occurs.

According to Twitter they're still working on it.

Frankly I'm not really hopeful at this point. I want it to come out and be good though.

Resident Evil 7 demo is getting an update tomorrow. It's still the same location that's not in the final game but there'll be more to explore or something.

Still kind of excited for the game but I hope there's a real demo before the final release.

After Soma and alien isolation,its hard to be excited for routine.

And we're getting a proper system shock 1 reboot. I mean I love the design of routine but when it was first announced, nothing was similar to it.

Yeah that's kinda the tragic part of the whole thing. The triple A world kinda came and ate their lunch already. Even with the retro 70's vision of the future aesthetic, which is baffling to me that they would be beaten to it. (Though by the franchise that inspired the look to begin with, to be fair)

Still, as a 4-year developer myself I gotta root for them that when they release they'll still be relevant. Isn't it just like 3 guys taking on what essentially looks like a polished triple A style product? Can be hard to blame em sometimes for the wait. Though they really need to get a hold on their quiet developer shtick. At least show off a muddy texture or something once in a while, guys.

Are you asking which console has the better version or if it is worth playing at all? If it's the second, they changed some things that make it a lot less spooky but you can actually read some background textures if you really want to now. If you don't have access to the games in their original form then it's a passable replacement.

No, I know it's not great in general I was wondering if it ran better on one or the other though.

iirc the ps3 version is better because konami pushed patches through on it, but not on the 360

i did not own a 360 so i don't know if thats true or not

For me, Isolation and Soma kind of scratched an itch i didn't realise was there before? The only thing filling that niche before was Dead Space, and that ended up as a shooter with the occasional jump scare, rather than something that mixed exploration with an abiding sense of dread.
When Routine was announced it sounded great, harking back to System Shock, it was on my must buy list - but it's taken so long that it's been overtaken by other releases. I still have hope that they'll release it and it'll be a good game, but it's been so long without meaningful updates, it's not looking good.

I kinda preferred it when the games were implying the murder robots weren't being driven by murdered kids and just going on wonky programming, that being said the Mascot in the 3rd game has to be the best design in the whole series. And I love how it's literally got the corpse of the Killer inside it

The robots being inhabited by the souls of dead children was a thing from the first game though. It didn't take long for people to piece together the story from various newspaper clippings and other things spread through the game. I liked that people really had to sniff that out though.

Also Foxy is only checking on you, man. It's not his fault you have a bad heart.

that doesn't really change the fact that malfunctioning robots is better.

What are some ''good'' games to watch an LP of in the vein of Phantasmagoria, Harvester, etc? This is the kind of stuff I read about in gaming magazines as a teen but they never brought to the poo poo town I lived in. I only ever played Gabriel Knight and that one wasn't all that good. So I'm talking edgy FMV horror games.

Its not really horror but I just finished supergreatfriend's LP of Realms of the Haunting and it was very entertaining.

I still don't understand how people were able to piece all these FNAF things together from tiny background details on the monitors. I was having a hard enough time even keeping my eyes open let alone searching all over the screens

He made a space Metroidvania that's 1) free and 2) pretty good, so dude's in my good books just for that.

I thought supposedly no one ever figured it out, or it linked through FNaF World and into Sister Location somehow?

It's a cool idea, but with how augmented reality always ends up looking kinda goofy, I can't imagine it'll be scary. If it can really make it look like pictures and stuff are falling off of your walls that'd be pretty cool, though.

What was the reasoning for that again? Didn't he say something like 'no, you've all failed to work out what the story was all about, so I'm keeping it locked forever' and pulled the plug on the patch that was supposed to answer everything forever?

I didn't hear anything about that. I just know that if you try to open the case, it says something about how some things should remain locked up, and then FNAF World was gonna be the last game but I guess it was a true spinoff that didn't have anything to do with 4 and he never went and did anything with the locked case that the game's ending makes a big fuss about.
