EA running half a dozen studios into the ground by forcing them to use Frostbyte is one of the biggest self owns by a publisher in gaming history.

Wait what the gently caress themes add music? It's me, the boring default guy that always picks the first preset when making a character.

Lots of dynamic themes add music. Like the Anniversary theme adds music and cues from all the different playstations, I used it for years.

Has anyone ever gotten Remote Play to not suck rear end? I'm trying it out bc of a long upcoming work trip, and even if both wifi connections are great the video stutters and lags.

Is it just a bad feature that doesn't work?

NO MERCY, ONLY PAIN :black101:
Ran credits on I am Setsuna. I liked it. I don't think it really deserves the dismissive reception it seems to have gotten. Yeah, it's not particularly remarkable and there are much better games, but I think I am Setsuna achieves what it set out to do. The setting, soundtrack, game systems are all very basic and simple but I feel this is by design and not from any lack of talent or inspiration. Creativity through constraint. The influence of Chrono Trigger on this game is obvious but I dont feel like the developers were aiming to make another Chrono Trigger. It feels to me more like they were saying "hey, we really like chrono trigger and we know you do to, anyway here's this little game we made, hope you enjoy it :)"

I've played Lost Sphear previously and a lot of design decisions from I am Setsuna were expounded upon for that game, but it's a case of systems on top of systems to the point of becoming a bloated mess. I am Setsuna keeps it simple and is a better game for it.

Can you get all six pixel remasters as one game? It looks like they are separate on the switch and £17 each.

You can get them as a pack on switch for 70USD which is quite high. When I preordered them on Steam years ago, it was considerably cheaper.

Themes are never coming back now that every game has a full screen splash image and almost all of them play their own music at completely random volumes so sometimes you get your ears blown out just scrolling through your icons looking for something to play.

We have to learn to accept this new world already.

PS3 had a thing where music would play when you were selecting a game and Puzzle Fighter was like 7 times the volume of every other game. Every time I scrolled over it, it scared the crap out of me.

Yeah it's in the options somewhere. I don't think I made it to the end of launch day before turning it off.

Lol that EA's new golf game, which is new consoles only, is capped at 30fps on PS5. Especially when it wants smooth strokes with the stick to swing. I mean, it's golf, what's going on at any given moment that's too stressful for the Frostbite engine?

Apparently golf is hard because the 2022 Mario golf title is the ugliest switch game I’ve ever played.

I’ve had pretty good results but my PS5 is wired to the router. I did the same with the PS4 and it was stable enough to play Tetris from the other side of the globe.
