I will never leave, I am just pseudo-afk waiting for the titles I feel more at home. Looking forward for Stranger of Paradise, Guardians of the Galaxy, Dying Light 2 and Riftbreaker.

I'll finish my competitive examination in November, a quick trip to Bologna (Italy), I'll start Sekiro and beat it before Elden Ring. A game that I will preorder on PS5 if I get one or on PS4 at least.

I just realized that got pushed back to February. It's out a couple weeks after Elden Ring :\ guess I won't be picking it up on launch day then.

Yeah it’s a real bummer. That was probably my #1 for end of 2021 and now it’s coming out right in the middle of bunch of stuff I’m looking forward to even more. Might still be able to squeeze it in at launch. We will see. Planning on playing Elden ring for like a month and then I think HZD and god of war are right after that.

I’ve never seen an OLED big screen at work, but my LG Nanocell feels like having a movie screen in my apartment. The only time it doesn’t look absolutely perfect is sometimes I’ll get a deep black on the screen that looks splotchy or a little washed out if there is light coming from a different part of the screen. Like when I turn on my PS5, the little “HDR” rectangle pops up in the corner and it’ll kind of pixelate the black on the screen. What is that? Is there anything I can do about it? It literally only effects blacks, the rest of it is perfect.
Local dimming?

Looks a game that isn't tedious to plat. Might as well bite since it's been years (PC release ages ago) since last I played it.

My studio did the version of the game that you just platinumed, friend (edit: we did PS4, Switch and then later Xbox One versions.) We had an N64 and a copy of the original game plugged into our giant-rear end 4K TV for 9 months, lol. It did not look good.

Another satisfied customer! Hopefully.
Glad you enjoyed it :) A lot of people wish we'd updated the visuals when we simply weren't allowed to, but for me (and probably you) the graphics being what they are has some nostalgic charm.

I bought the fancy limited edition of the game from Limited Run to keep as a memento of working on it because it was a bit of a dream come true.

We wanted to do Rogue Squadron, too, but that didn't happen :/

I played episode 1 racer last year and it was great. Graphics are fine as they are it's all about the nostalgia after all.

Is your studio going to be working on more retro projects like this?

Not at the moment. We did the mobile version of KOTOR2 earlier this year which could fit somebody's definition of "retro" I suppose. I did a few versions of Sonic Mania this year and last (the engine is called "retro engine!") Right now we're working on Crusader Kings 3 for consoles, we've been the developer of Human: Fall Flat for a while now, we're currently finishing up on a AAA FPS that usually releases every October-November. I can't say what else we're doing but none of it is retro, I'm afraid.

Maybe if Aspyr hadn't been Embraced...

That was one of my favorite games back in the day and for some reason I just sort of ignored the rerelease. I’m definitely going to pick it up sometime. Thanks for helping make it happen Akuma!

e: oh drat you’re working on CK3 as well! I’ve wanted to get into that for so long after multiple failed attempts on the computer for various reasons. I can’t wait to have it on my PS5 :3:

Do I recall correctly that that version of Kotor 2 despite being for mobile, was set up to allow restored content mod to be read?

CK3 is pretty great on console IMO, I hope people like it.

Baggot posted:

If you got it free or bought it from the Epic store, bought it on Origin, or streamed it on Amazon Luna, I did that. Previously we did the Steam version of the DLC and I consulted on the initial PC release. So nothing sexy - just straight ports.

Yeah. For a long time the plan was to have it integrated but ~*legal issues*~ got in the way, so it was deliberately left in a state that it should be easy for modders to do it. And it happened basically immediately after release, heh. It's actually a pretty good version of the game, just a shame it's... a mobile game.
