God the Speed Racer movie is just so loving good

It's just such a sugar rush and you can really tell how much the Wachowski sisters loved the original and wanted to recreate the feelings they got from it while also working to create an interesting narrative to tie everything together really well.

I haven't seen the movie and vaguely remember the cartoon, but I also don't remember Japanese-ness being central to Speed Racer in the same way that, say, a story about Motoko Kusanagi in Neo-Japan would

you're probably not getting jsrf emulating on any kind of laptop because workable xbox emulation is such a recent thing

tbh i'm amazed to find out jsrf emulates now at all but at least the fact that xbox emulation is now actually developing might mean it might not be so inaccessible in the future i guess

You're probably right. I have an i5 with a 1050 so I can run anything that supposed to run on a pc, but people with i7's and 1070s can get it running at 60 and it just makes me wonder if I had spent more money if I could be understanding the concept of love right now

Yeah but Speed Racer the series is a whitewashed adaptation of Mach gogogo while Speed Racer the movie is a faithful adaptation of Speed Racer the series. It's kinda like how you wouldn't hold it against any modern transformers show or movie that they aren't following the diaclone setting.

The concept of love needs at least 120 fps

Sony’s been killing it as a publisher forever. Having good dev relationships is what helped them recover after the PS3 launch stumble.

Heat Actions now in Shadow of the Tomb Raider?

GUI
Nov 5, 2005

I've been thinking heavily about buying Tomb Raider III (2018): 3rd times the charm but the leaked IGN german review says they cut down the combat which was the only remotely fun thing about 1 (and even then it was nothing impressive) and I don't trust the developers to have improved on the babbys first platforming which just like Uncharted is only there to pad out playtime. Some of the puzzles in 2 were decent though which was the only good thing about it, so who knows.

One of the worst things HZD learned from Tomb Raider was the slowmo when she makes a long but easy jump thing

I liked that part in TRLegend where Lara makes a giant screen fall on a group of mercs and quips something like "maybe they'll read a book for once!" nuLara would probably make a dead inside comment about how it reminds her of her dad or something.

My first thought on replaying Tomb Raider Legend a while ago was 'wow now I remember she used to have a sense of humour'.
Shame it turned out the gameplay was a lot jankier than I remembered. :(

quote:

Lara Croft’s signature look, prior to the reboot trilogy, had her prominently flaunting dual pistols. In the reboot and its sequel, however, she has been seen with a bow. With Shadow of the Tomb Raider expected to cap off the trilogy, many have wondered if this game will depict the transition of the new Lara to the old one, with her taking o the dual pistols at some point or the other in this game.

Well, that won’t be happening in this game, at the very least. Speaking to the Official Xbox Magazine, Tomb Raider director Dan Bisson has shot down the possibility of that happening within this trilogy.

“No. I don’t want that,” he said. “For us this is her defining moment. We’re not going to put her in shorts with double-pistols, wearing a bikini — that’s not what this is. […] It’s because the twin pistols have an iconic thing about them. For this trilogy – not saying anything about later on, I don’t know about the future titles – but for this trilogy, the bow is still her signature weapon.”

He does seem to suggest that that moment may come in later games, but that also means that for fans who were hoping for it in this one, this news comes as disappointing. Unless he is explicitly lying because he wants the element of surprise maintained in this game.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider launches on September 14 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
