Yeah, its really weird to say that the public is entitled to their internal documents, and development work. Not only would they have to check that everything is legally ok to share, they'd have to provide a place to download it. Not to mention that a lot of stuff is lower quality, and not meant for public consumption. There is also a question of how old does something have to be before they release it.

ColdPie posted:No, it isn't. Human culture is shared. You can't stop it. The idea that some entity can control our shared culture is bizarre attempt to undermine that fact. Throughout all of history humans shared stories and art and built on (and, yes, profited from) others' work. Copyright is a compromise where we agree to temporarily give them control of some of our culture in order for the creator to benefit from their work. It's only very recently that we decided megacorporations should be able to own our culture indefinitely. Our current effectively-infinite-length copyright term is less than fifty years old and, in my opinion, hugely detrimental to our culture. The original length of a copyright was up to 28 years. Even if there was no copyright law, they'd be under no obligation to release this information, and it still would be illegal to obtain it. Copyrights last too long, and it shouldn't be illegal to bypass DMCA, but it isn't really relevant to the situation at hand.

feedmyleg posted:There's a tradeoff either way, so it depends on what you consider "best" in terms of graphics. The 3DS has way higher poly models, but it's also in a lower resolution than even OG N64. The higher resolution and textures of the HD pack might balance that out for you, but personally I think the remake looks way nicer even at a lower resolution. If you're playing the remake on an actual 3DS rather than emulating it, the resolution won't be an issue, though. There is a 4k fan patch for 3ds zelda. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSL44vYLx2c

Nintendo is not exactly well known for keeping a close eye on its official manga. Some pretty weird poo poo can be put into them, like what the Pokemon manga was like before it a become a huge hit. The comic is fine, its just having some fun. No need to get morally outraged, she isn't portrayed as a badass bounty hunter 100% of the time.

cirus posted:Hope these assets can be added to ROM hacks! They probably won't be because then that gives Nintendo a justification for taking down the hack since it contains their intellectual property. Rom hacks avoid this issue by patching an existing rom, so they don't actually contain anything made by Nintendo.

If the studios decide they want to keep the rights, but don't expect it to make them real dosh they release that kind of nonsense to be within the letter of the contract. reminds me of that time FXX, released an awful pilot for Wheels of time in the middle of night with zero advertising just to fulfill contractual obligations.

Warbird posted:Did the developed but canned Mega Man Legends 3 demo/prototype ever turn up anywhere? Or is 3DS stuff too recent to start showing up in the recent leaks? Aside from hackers, the usual way these things get out there is from someone dying or a company going out of business and a copy getting out because there was nobody around that knew what it was.

That NoClip video about the history of Arkane shows gameplay footage of LMNO. I think I probably would have liked to play it if had actually come out. I wonder if the game used discrete hand-chosen moments to influence your relationship with the alien or if they happened dynamically during the gameplay. If it was the latter, I could see it being annoying to play, so maybe that was why it was cancelled.

You could implement the majority of the features of Discord with just an IRC client. Discord replaced IRC because they made it user friendly. Most IRC clients have an interface straight out of the 90s.

BlankSystemDaemon posted:IRC - both the clients and the daemons - seems like the 90s because it's a product of the time period that affected things designed in the 90s. Yes obviously the IRC clients look the way they do because that was the style at the time they were developed, but they don't have to look that way. My entire point is that you could make a modern looking IRC client with a lot of the features discord had without even having to touch the servers.

The actual answer is probably tapes. The leaks at Nintendo revealed that was at least the case for them, and at least some of them had failed at this point.

Jazerus posted:the CGI is probably a legit concern in the early CD era in the sense that you might need to spend a slightly-above-trivial amount of money instead of an extremely trivial amount of money. the assets and sound are obviously bigger than the code itself but i was including those in "final source code", i should have made that explicit tho. it does not change my evaluation of the reasons behind lack of preservation at all, nor does the change in medium from drives to tapes - the resources you would need to spend are not significant even if you saved all of the assets 10x over except in extreme corner cases Its not necessarily profit, people are also just lazy/have a schedule to deal with.

sigher posted:I wonder if it was less of issue of companies actually storing poo poo, but just the media/computers those copies were put on just disappeared with time. I used to burn discs of poo poo I had on my PC because I would often run out of storage in the late 90s and early 2000s, a lot of that stuff was old Half-Life 1 Mods, with tons of custom made models and map packs... all of those discs are probable a goldmine to behold but gently caress if they even exist anymore and if I have them. Maybe the same happened with those game devs too? I mean that's a common issue with archiving. It doesn't matter if you back-up everything if you have to search through a poorly organized warehouse to find it. Its not unheard of something that was thought to be lost to turn up in some random box somebody found. It was one of the main reasons the Star Trek the Next Generation restoration was so expensive.

Pretty good posted:My holy grail from that gen has gotta be Rogue Squadron Trilogy for Wii. Which was reportedly finished and ready for release! But has never leaked out in any form, no matter how slight. Considering Wii's tendency to require motion controls and the poor implementation of such, I could imagine a reason why it wasn't released beyond just licensing reasons. Granted, it sucks if it was only because licensing issues.

There was also a modding group of assholes that refused to release a rip of their copy without their changes in it, which might have taken a very long time for them to finish and who knows if they would ever release an unmodified version. I believe they got really mad when somebody also had a copy of the same version and released it.
