MechanicalTomPetty posted:I'm kinda shocked that Mike knows anything about KotR, he never struck me as someone who was all that into gaming or knew anything at all about video games in general. Maybe Rich clued him into it? Hell I'm shocked were getting KOTOR movies at all. But I wouldn't get my hopes up that it's gonna be based on the games. I think it's just an excuse to make Star Wars movies set when the Order was at it's height, Which I don't have a problem with.

How bad would Mike's reaction be to both the KDF and Starfleet storylines of Star Trek Online?

FlamingLiberal posted:Yeah those all got thrown out the window. The only thing we know is definitely happening is the Rian Johnson trilogy which will be the 'main' trilogy, but there is nothing known about it. I'm sure we will hear more at either Comic-Con or D23 in the next couple of months. Is that still happening? I had gotten the impression that the GoT dudes' project had replaced it.

Trojan Kaiju posted:Unless they sent her back to the wheelchair in the past couple years she hasn't been wheelchair bound since the New52 first started. With the kindaReboot she became The One And Only Batgirl and Steph and Cassandra didn't exist until... I wanna say Steph returned and became Spoiler in Batman Eternal? Yeah, like I said all I had was animated media, Arkham Asylum games and whatever word of mouth I'd catch here and there. My info on Barbara was her morally opposed to being able to walk again until that technology is freely available to everyone and not just her. I didn't know anything about the reboot. Oh no, are Ivy and Harley still friends after the reboot struck?

here's a fella I've been following for a while now, SNESDRUNK. He does a lot of "is this game worth playing nowadays" videos with a calm, relaxed voice that breaks down the good and bad parts of various old games. Sometimes does recent stuff too. Also all of his videos start off with a goofy "SSSSSSSSSSSNNNNNNNNNESDRUNK" voice clip he records for each one. due to this video I definitely want to check out Ruff 'n' Tumble, it looks like a fun game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtcrX7-psjI&hd=1

Nuns with Guns posted:Are you confusing Disney with DreamWorks here? Even counting Pixar movies, Disney is very careful about what it sequelizes in full movies, especially after all the DTV trash from the late Eisner era. It's fine milking a cash cow when it finds one, particularly for merch, but we're only just now getting a second Frozen for a reason (the reason is merchandise sales falling off.) The Mulan sequel is probably the most baffling sequel Disney has ever made. The entire movie centers around marriages but it's totally cool because non of them end up being arranged marriages! Hey Pop Arena, thanks for recommending that Magical Girl retrospective on twitter.

If you can make it through the entire thing, you're a stronger person than I am.

Sarcopenia posted:It's easier to find Disney movies that don't have straight to dvd sequels/prequels than not. I never disputed there weren't sequels? I was saying that Disney found other ways to make eternal profits off of animated movies that means they only have to crank out a sequel to them every 5-10 years. They don't have to worry about actors aging out of animated roles or getting tired of all the filming the same way as live action stuff. Disney didn't buy Star Wars with the primary goal of churning out 5 or 10 or 50 movie sequels. They bought it so they could resuscitate the brand and integrate it and all its tertiary material into a constant source of merchandising revenue, just like the MCU. When the bubble finally bursts on either franchise's movies, they'll let them lie fallow for a few years and come back with a "triumphant reboot" until the heat death of the universe. They'll still be selling Star Wars poo poo in stores the whole time. Also the most baffling sequel is either The Hunchback of Notre Dame II (because we really needed a plot about Quasimodo finding a girlfriend?) or Pocahontas II just for thinking they should make a Pocahontas sequel where they do an offensively vague impression of her time in England.

TGLT posted:I mean, it's actually pretty easy to believe when you check into any postmortem on it. Sega only started it in late 2004, they wanted it on the 15th anniversary and they were locked into that date by a contract with Microsoft, Yuji Naka resigned and took a chunk of the team with him, and then the team had to be split again because the Wii couldn't handle 06 so they needed to make a new game for it. All this for new rear end consoles they hadn't really messed with before. Plus they couldn't really cut back on the scope. He's talking about Sonic Forces, though?

The new Jim Sterling video is another one covering a BBC story about kids cleaning out their parents' money for microtransactions, but this one is about mobile games like Clash of Clans and a "find the object in a picture" game. That latter one was particularly egregious because it took advantage of a 21-year-old with multiple developmental disabilities who didn't know any better. I walked away from that with two things: 1. Why is the BBC doing this expose and not a games news website like Kotaku or Polygon? When your best sources of game industry news are from mainstream news outlets and Forbes, something is wrong. And it also undermines a point in one of Jim's videos about said games news outlets reviewing Game of Thrones and things that are very much not video games: that the unrelated stuff pays for the good content. 2. Remember when mobile gaming was the future of video games? Good times. Nuns with Guns posted:Disney didn't buy Star Wars with the primary goal of churning out 5 or 10 or 50 movie sequels.

They'll still be selling Star Wars poo poo in stores the whole time. Also, Marvel has a treasure trove of storylines and characters to mine. While it's possible to make a Star Wars story that isn't the usual, it's hard. And they're not going to go to the extended universe because those have been declared to be non-canonical.

Not quite; While Legends continuity is indeed non-canon, writers are already lifting the better parts of it into Disney canon. Star Wars: Rebels had Thrawn to contend with for three seasons, and he was fantastic in it.

get that OUT of my face posted:I'd go as far as to say the main audience for new Star Wars movies are millennials and Gen X, and it feels like it has a bigger following among the latter generation because we grew up with the prequels and increasingly CGI-filled redos of the classic trilogy, followed by years of critiques telling us how bad those were. Millennial here, and my first time seeing SW was the special edition theater releases. I was 11 when TPM was released. We're all in the same boat.

Wait they're making a moving of KotOR?  I guess I'll actually step in a theatre for the first time since becoming an adult and watch it so I can bitter about the things they did wrong from the game.
