Any remotely notable game is likely to get a refresh eventually. We’re a long ways away from the heat death of the universe.

the higher effort SE remasters/remakes of late generally go along with major original staff still being around (SaGa, Live a Live) or someone else trying to make a new push for the series (Mana). in that context anything major for xenogears is unlikely, but it could still get a more minor remaster if SE happens to feel like it one day. at any rate it's more likely than a xenosaga remaster from bamco.

I want spritesss! Yeah Tactics Ogre looked good, but is it really HD 2D? I associate the term with the kind of mishmash of sprites and budget 3D environments that feel like a sloppy mishmash of aesthetics. Tactics Ogre’s sprites and background match in style and it’s a good cohesive look. A lot of it is how the isometric camera flattens the 3D assets to match the spritework, I guess.

I've been playing Saga this week.  That game will have to be remade from the ground up. No one is going to take this on, it would be too much and I don't think the combat system would go over well with modern gamers.

Rinkles posted:I can’t imagine ever getting a video game related question from my parents. I don’t think they’ve ever even considered picking up a game. When I was a teenager back in the early 2000s, my mother would often be fascinated by games. She'd want to try some and would end up buying some lovely movie tie-in game like a Shrek game or some poo poo. Around 2010, I gave her my old 360 and got her playing the Lego games. Eventually, I was able to get her to try even more advanced games. Her most advanced games are Fable 2 & 3, Darksiders, Kingdoms of Amalur, Skyrim, and The Witcher 3. She can only really play on the easiest difficulty (and even then she's often really really bad at them). I think she's put well north of 400 hours into Witcher 3, playing through twice and 100%ing the map each time. Games like Stardew Valley and My Time at Portia she has also played multiple times. Basically, I was able to shape her into having gaming be her hobby. At this point, she mostly just does cozy games but I plan on surprising her with a PS5 later this year and FF16. That being said - technology is still baffling to her. I was trying to come up with reasons why she might think plugging her PS4 directly into her router would make it run faster. She lives in a fairly rural area and has poo poo internet to begin with. She watches a lot of streaming shows and has connection issues in the past. I assume she thinks there's an element of the game that is streaming? idk.

Oh, yeah I don't think TO is HD2D, I just mean it's great remaster work. I also have zero issue with 2D sprites on 3D backgrounds, it feels hella natural to me and quite representative of the second half of the 90s.

I started it! I'm spending ages loving around with my tv settings because it doesn't look good! It's super washed out. I've got the screen brightness in game on 0 and nothing gets close to black. I can go into my tv settings and set the hmdi black level to low, but you're only supposed to use that if the console is set to limited rgb output, and mine isn't.

I’m late to post this but in Lies of P the problem you’re having with dodge is that the dodge animation actually begins on circle button release, not the initial circle button press. I think they did this because long pressing/holding the dodge button makes you run. So until you know this..dodging feels loving awful, slow, very hard to time. Once you get it though it’s..possibly brilliant? You can actually hold the circle for like 1.5sec and release exactly when you want to dodge to time it to an attack. Otherwise you can press and release circle very quickly and slightly earlier than you think to for a simple dodge. If you like I can delve into this further. A circle press actually has three parts to it: when circle is pressed, when circle is held, and when circle is released. So we can actually perfectly dodge by using a half circle press. We do this by simply holding the first circle press to be used for the second half circle press, because the half circle press only required circle to be held, not actually pressed. So to capture a perfect dodge, we call this 2.5 half circle presses. In conclusion, since that first circle press counts in some contexts but adds no additional circle presses in other contexts, we call that a half circle press. You can therefore see how this is far superior to Bloodborne’s full circle press system. Man, I did not expect this post to become 25 years long when I started writing, but I guess there was just that much to explain.

Imagine lord of the rings, but now theres assholes and shagging and incest and swearijg and regional british accents and killing off characters like crack, rite, and that somehow makes it "mature" and "adult" and not "kid poo poo" for harry potter truffledoor babies who cant see themes and storyline throughlines so you get poo poo like people not seeing the ending coming since season 2 and then you have people at work really believe that one character, the ice one is dead in season 5 of a SONG of ice and fire when the fire one already did their not dead bit so you show them that lucas poetry vid but they still cry so you make hardcore bet with them and make 200 quid but they never pay up. Also one storyline happend during a point in recent in recent history that people lached on to as a way to pretend they were actually supportive so when the yelling at you for 7 seasons ending actually haopened their minds melted. It also sucked but thats not the point, the point is ita final fantasy 16 day on the sony playstation five and im gonna toss it off at work and come back home and play final fantasy 16 only on playstation five!!!!

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:new tele time! lol it's an 85" qn90a I've only had for 6 months. I found the expert gamma settings buried deep in the menus and got it looking really nice. Had to put some real non standard numbers in though, probably going to make other games look wack but this is all I plan to play until I'm done with it. E: Ah! I actually tried my HDMI black level on limited, but even with that on and brightness in game on the lowest, it felt over dark, with the mids still kind of washed out - like the darkest point was being crushed as well as bringing the lower mids down. Changing the tv gamma for the ps5 has got me a result that looks much nicer. It's wild they hosed that up a bit, honestly it's wild how many games have poo poo calibration out of the box. My tv has a proper neutral calibration set up and I can't use that setting for games because most of them look poo poo with it. cubicle gangster fucked around with this message at 06:31 on Jun 22, 2023 |
