Nah, but it is a dystopian sci-fi story with a female "look how empowered she is! (but really just fetishized for the creator)" main character. I think those were the only important parts for Cameron.

Ryan Reynolds is probably the reason why this movie exists. This is a guy who wanted to make Deadpool for ten years.

And he was right about that, so I say we trust him.

It's also hugely derivative of William Gibson's bridge trilogy. At least as far as the main character goes.

Heh, I forgot that the original gimmick was they could only say their own names.

It worked a lot better for some than others!

What loving game was 3D, with audio, and fit on a floppy disk, with space to spare?

Transport Tycoon was ~3-5MB. And that was a 2D game.

Because they didn’t want it to compete with the recently released N64. They wanted the N64 to be the standard for “3D gaming” and not lovely SuperFX graphics.

Or something.

Oh.

At least we still got some great games in the twilight of the SNES, unlike Genesis and Sega's baffling decision to end all support for it when the games were still selling well.

There were also a few weird cases where they sort of said their name but with extra letters or missing letters.

This whole thread has been raging at the people who don't want Saracen invasion to their homes

Perhaps you too should be more accepting of their cultures
Alita is one of my favourite cyberpunk settings, it's great. I will never understand who the gently caress would take a look at this trailer and decide that yeah, that's it, loving nailed it. But I also took a look at the youtube comments under the trailer and there were a lot of people praising "Alita's anime look", so that's another confirmation for the "we all died and entered some hell dimension back in 2016" theory.

Even quake had sprites, but essentially Doom.exe was about a megabyte and that, plus the system and textures for a map fit into 4mb RAM and the comparison still stands
