I’m not chasing down spoilers but all the articles have been about leaked gameplay and cutscene footage. If you’d prefer that every single piece of content get leaked throughout development With no rights to the creators than by all means feel that way. I disagree, that’s all.

Edit - I know you are troll extraordinaire so you will have some stupid response to this but it’s my fault for responding to you in the first place

I mean I don’t care? It doesn’t effect the creators either way. Also don’t accuse someone of being a troll because you obviously do not know what your talking about. At least look up how the DMCA is supposed to work

No it doesn't. This is specifically about posting leaked footage and the DMCA claim to pull it down. Not whatever vague poo poo that you are trying to reframe it as, and I also dont care about being woke.

I said most of the story spoilers is text. No one is talking about the gameplay because no one cares LOU lives and dies by its story.

Even with a link you can’t copyright discussion it’s just not what that Bill was made to do. Though even then DMCA a site for linking a video is also not really a thing. Hosting it sure but not simply linking it.

Also you made a claim I think you kind of have to prove it

I have no idea what this means. What is a leaked IP. As far as I know the leaks are just texted and no actualfootage

Also I dont even give a poo poo about Naughty Dog, I just work with NDA's and poo poo all the time while Im filming and it would suck if someone just sent out my storyboards like that.

Anyways yes you are right Charles leaks are good, DMCA is bad. In fact, lets just post the hour of footage here, who cares what our mod says right? its all kosher.

The story was leaked in the form of someone leaking the game's major cutscenes in video format. People summarized the spoiler points from those leaked videos.

You can’t copyright discussion that would be dumb and no amount of lame emotional appeals is going to change that.

It’s as much as an outrage as it is enforceable, which is to say not at all.

Ah okay, either way you can’t penalize someone. For watching it at some point. As that would mean this thread could get DMCAd for just watching a cutscene and talking about it. Like Atlus did for Persona 5 when it first released. Except even they only DMCAd the cut scenes themselves

Nope, the C&C/RA remaster is using upscaling techniques precisely because the source footage is so bad. They even went to extreme lengths to acquire what they thought were the HD master tapes of all the performances but when they finally got them it turned out they were the exact same quality as the ones they already had.

Here's a behind the scenes video the team did on it (check 4:55 and onwards):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikJLYYTrIxs

AFAIK this is the first time a publisher does something like this for a release, Square-Enix (and others) certainly could learn a few tricks from them instead of having the mod community do all the heavy lifting.

The amount of effort being funneled into this remaster and the attention to detail...verges on insanity. They really are treating C&C (justly) like a piece of Videogame History™, in addition to adding QoL features that will make it more accessible for contemporary audiences. It really is exciting.

But also, as highlighted by the FMV archives upscaling quest, the effort preserve this game has been a PC + Console audience collaborative project :3: , and it's very cool that everybody has come together to save these badly acted, weird pieces of videogame ephemera. The C&C gameplay is what ultimately turned out to be advanced in the long term, but the FMV scenes were considered very flashy in 1995 and it's rad to have them acknowledged.

Anyway, I'll stop gushing.

Here's the C&C Remaster thread if anyone's interested.

I just beat FF7R. All around excellent game, but what is it with Square and making the last several hours of it straight as a string, with no opportunity to go back to anything before? The pacing of the rest of the game in that respect it was so good, but they couldn't avoid going the same direction as FF13 or 15 with the ending.

That's how the original FFVII was.

Once you beat the game you can replay any chapter you like so there's no point making the end part of FF7R open for the sake of it when they want to push you on with the story at that point.

I mean thematically how would you even write that? FFXV literally had to introduce a magic time travelling dog to justify going back from the end game.

Rather than breaking it up, I could have done with it just being shorter. I know that they wanted to recreate a bunch of the weird stuff that happens in that part in the original, but I think it could have just had the initial sneaking in phase, then getting to the research floor and getting Aeris, then fighting Rufus, then the highway escape. The boss fights were really fun but overall the game felt really really stacked at the end with just that.

Edit: especially that they added about two extra hours to the highway chase and the final escape.

Yeah, the whole lab bit was the only part of the game that really had me tapping my foot. I know some people have called other parts "filler" but that's the only part that really felt that way to me.

Oops I meant Shadow is really good

Rise is just okay but Shadow is more like an Uncharted game (you even play as Young Lara in a chapter) and it works better as a more linear experience with side tombs than as the more open world that Rise tried to do


Shadow I thought was only ok. The combat is easily the highlight of the game for me and for some reason that game has the least amount even though they give you all kinds of cool stuff to turn Lara into a killing machine. I also thought it was dope that the game let you customize the difficulty for like 3 different things.

But I think Rise will always be my favorite simply for the DLC in it. The DLC for that was so good and the roguelike survival mode in that is amazing.

Yeah, the original had way better pacing in that regard. Some scenes just completely lose their impact because it gets drawn out too much. I wish they kept the tightness in those scenes and gave you better open world segments.
