I remember in like 97-98 going back to the SNES after a year or two of N64 and I was shocked how much “smoother” all the games felt.

Kind of surprising to see a version of a chalk hill figure in the Pokemon trailer since the most famous humanoid one is the Cerne Abbas Giant. Non brits might want to google the Cerne Abbas Giant.

I always think of the Uffington Horse because of that one XTC album. This new Trials game is so goddamn Ubisoft it's physically painful. Had to turn the music off in less than a minute, you need an Ubisoft account for online stuff and I've been so spoiled by Nintendo that I forgot that loot crates exist in third party land

The GBA was really a last refuge for good spritework before the retro revival. What happens when you go from refined spritework to primitive polygons because marketing and execs have decided polygons look better.

What the gently caress is Deltarune. What is happening in this game. Probably don't actually tell me. But I'm glad I didn't spoil anything about it

So listening to music earlier I came across this piece by Lou Donaldson, called "Pot Belly", and I immediately thought Yoshi. I doubt it's plagiarism since it's only a couple of notes anyway, but seeing as video game music and instrumental music has such little crossover, I'm sure it would never come up. I wonder how many other examples of this there are.

Every time someone comes up with an idea to 'improve' Pokemon it's always 1: an obvious ripoff of another game series, B: a terrible idea, and lastly, something that's already been suggested by a thousand people who all think they're being incredibly original when they do it. I mean hell, Pokemon has spinoffs, one of them was a full on crossover with Nobunaga's Ambition that turned it into a SRPG, and another one that's a full on fighting game.

VGM is ripe for sampling since at it's core it's supposed to be repetitive, short, and catchy loops. Though it may be tough to whom royalties or accrediting goes to if you're not going to pirate.

My favourite weird game music story is probably the time someone played Kojima some obscure Russian melody and it's obvious that Harry Gregson Williams ripped it off for MGS. It's just too bad it never showed up in any of the games afterwards. Konami was probably shook as gently caress. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k7DrIWcrdI

Look, if you're going to make a western themed thing you basically have two choices; rummage around in Ennio Morricone's garbage bin for a left over never released song or rip off Ennio Morricone as hard as legally possible.
