I wanna know more about Kowloon's Gate. It was kickstarted and it looks so bizarre but I don't think it'll ever come stateside.

Kowloon's Gate and its Dreamcast follow-up Despiria are both loving awesome. Kowloon's Gate is a legit atmospheric masterpiece though, like Cosmology of Kyoto caliber good.


Basically you walk around from place to place like 7th Guest and Myst and Shiver and such but the pre-rendered transitions of you turning around and such are really nice and there's also real time 3D areas that are basically the game's dungeons. These areas have you trying to certain exits/etc. while running into stuff and the interface for the combat is in character with a lot of the enemies being "apparition of obscure insect that inhabits everyone's mind in some mythologies" and such. The soundtrack is very highly regarded with good reason as well.

Despiria unfortunately never got ported to anything but Kowloon's Gate is on the PSN so you have a PS3/etc. you can play it easily if you know Japanese. There's faqs too though.

That reminds me of my favorite FMV game ever, Alive. Holy fuckin' poo poo that game rules for an FMV game. It just has tons of options and the budget for it must have been massive for the time. It's basically Run Lola Run but in a Japanese near future setting, with multiple shootout scenes with squibs and everything, car chases, fight scenes in burning buildings, it's got it all.

Friends I promise I will get to Yakuza 6 sometime. I am half way through Yakuza 0.

I am also halfway through 0. Keep getting sidetracked by all the side stuff. One thing the Yakuza games have taught me over years is to never visit Japan. There are always clusters of three to four guys every block just waiting to jump you and beat the poo poo out of you. Don't know how a first world country allows that sort of thing.

Really enjoying Kiwami. I don't think I would have appreciated it as much if I didn't play 0 and know all the characters. They did an awesome job making a prequel.

Sort of bumping myself here because I got buried immediately by lootbox chat.

My biggest goal is to at least find a cable that fits snug without a ton of play, I think that’s killing my charging ports. Anyone with recommendations has my thanks.

The ports on the controllers just wear out after a while. Mine definitely won't charge if they are tweaked wrong, so when I plug them in and leave them on the carpet I just make sure the yellow light is 'breathing' before I let it alone. Don't think it's worth buying new controllers for really.

Ugh, I was going thinking of going for the God of War plat but I think Niflheim might put a stop to that. Granted, I'm trying to do it non-post-game which is dumb and you shouldn't do it, but it's a real bitch. The spoiler miniboss fights are bad enough without adding a fatal timer, and it seems like it'll be a real grind even if I am higher level when I come back to it.

It's not bad at all if you just dump the difficulty down to easiest (there are no difficulty-related trophies so whatever), and put on an item or two that grants you extra time on the clock.

Sony bend just did a bunch of game informer preview vids for days gone. They say they arent a big part of e3 this year so they are getting their exposure now i guess.

Early 2019
Open world action rpg
Bike maintenance and upgrades
Outpost taking/ base fortifying
Dynamic weather/emergent gameplay
Etc.

So its win win either you are looking forward to the game and you learn its coming along smoothly for a marchish release or you dont care about the game and you can rest easy free from fear that a 3rd 5 min hype trailer for another zombie game is putting a damper on this years conference.

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

They aren't a big part of E3 this year because Last of Us 2 is more important and Sony probably doesn't want to have two zombie games at their show, since Days Gone bumped TLoU 2 to PSX it's their turn now. Makes me wonder if Ghosts of Tsushima and Shadows Die Twice are both gonna be at Sony this year.

Do you have a link to any of those vids maybe they're good?

I get half!!

That was a terrible interview.

Reporter: "What would you say to the issue that most people don't give a poo poo about zombie games anymore in 2016, and responded to your game with boredom?"

Developer:
"I didn't think that would be an issue, but now that I know it is let me address that for you"

*Spends 10 minutes not giving an answer and instead talking about how much he personally loves zombies, literally says 'I will never get bored of the genre ever, and I don't understand how others do", talks about how he loves the World War Z movie and "its impossible for me to not like a zombie movie".


Also love around the 4 minute mark that while he is talking how much money they spent on presentation, and how it doesn't seem like a video game, the in game character is standing on a tower with his gun clipping right through the guard rail.

Those videos actually had the opposite effect, and I care even less about the game than i did before

I always love in media like this that until the zombie plague happened, the concept of what a 'zombie' is just didn't exist until that point. No zombie movies, no zombie video games, no zombies as a pen and paper concept, etc, etc. They are always a pure world that has never heard the word 'zombie'.

"So are there zombies in your game?"
"No we call them Freakers."
"But they're basically zombies right?"
"We call them Freakers."

It's OK guys. You can call them zombies, and everyone will know what you're talking about.

I like that as he's struggling to explain why it's different he's like "well you are always in danger" Interviewer: "So it's hard?" "no. I'd say its realistic" and the video is showing a guy casually driving around a rocky mountainside on a Harley and he drops off a 10 foot cliff like it's nothing.

To be fair to the guy I don't think he was expecting to get hardballed like that. Weirdly candid interview. The game looks allright but it doesn't look like it's going to warrant 3 years of hype. It might be fun but there is so much generic poo poo going on.

It's claim to fame is the big walls of zombies. When it first got announced I was like "yeah ok that's pretty cool I guess" but there is so much of the same poo poo floating around it's of zero interest now.

Also, it sucks that Sony kind of killed off Syphon Filter. I wouldn't mind playing a updated version of it. I had some really fun times with Syphon Filter 1 and 2 on PSone.
