Looks like another win for greedy publishers and AAA copypaste kids games, sorry citizens.

Sometimes you wish that you could grab these people and and try to shake some sense into them while screaming that it's just a video game. When you get in deeper than how Ben feels about Wing Commander then you're just too far gone to be saved maybe. Ben is obsessed with WC and will ramble on about how personally important it is to him, which is fine, but I don't recall ever seeing him say anything about how it changed the world.

In 1997 Shigeru Miyamoto started work on the game he always wanted to play: Mario Universe, a complex physics-based 3D MMO platforming game. Following the success of Mario 64 Nintendo have him free reign to make something truly exceptional. He assembled what is widely considered the best development team ever to take on the herculean vision he had in mind. Development stared quickly, using the engine from SEGA's Virtua Fighter 3tb, licensed because it was praised for its skin reflection and fluidity of hair animation. A demo level ("Mario's garden") was shown at E3 1999 to great acclaim, with reviewers praising the "exceptional quality of textures on Mario's house" and the "quality of carrot-picking animations". When asked why Mario couldn't move, lead developer John Romero noted it was still being worked on, the team wanting to "take the time to make a truly next-generation movement scheme, tied not just to thumbsticks and buttons, but engaging the player in an exceptional way". In later interviews, Romero said that they were held back with regard to the movement system by the limited quality and hitch cost of theremins. As development continued, Nintendo's management was not happy that a character seen as essential to their profit margin would be involved in a "free to play" game, but the team refused to compromise on the vision Miyamoto had for the game. As a result, it is widely believed that it was during this period that the map screen was removed. The full extent of Mario Universe's original vision was so detailed that Miyamoto had Mario running on land, water, the air and at any height. Two months later, after a prototype version of the game was presented to Nintendo, they finally gave in and allowed development to proceed at a far more aggressive pace. The game's final retail version was so big that it was split in two, with a Super Mario World style "Grand Kingdom" three-player co-op game to tell the story of how Mario arrived at home, and a game that never got a name, "Kingdom Star Universe", for play on one's own. The moniker was often taken on-site at R&D and given to scenes where Mario arrived in the game. In addition to removing the large design team's name from the title screen, it also removed the CEO's name from the credits. "I get blamed for the destruction of free-to-play for Mario, and blame the CEO for the whole debacle" In June 2000, Miyamoto announced that Nintendo would host a closed beta test for the game. Although Nintendo didn't release a release date, and there were worries that the team would be over-extended, Miyamoto assured the public that the game would be ready for release in the summer of 2000. By 2011, development was ongoing. The game still lacked any sort of a release date and the team had been working on it for 15 years. In the meantime, Nintendo released four Mario series games and more than a dozen spin-off titles, most of them also co-developed with different development teams. During this time, the game was being developed by three different teams, one based in Japan, one in Korea, and one in Europe, with the majority of the team based at Nintendo's newly built Design & Development Center in Redmond, WA. In January 2017, it was reported that the game would be released in April 2017. Nintendo of America's President and CEO Reggie Fils-Aime appeared at an event with Square Enix to reveal the game as the eighth main entry in the Super Mario series and would be released exclusively on Nintendo Switch. Backlash by then-CEO and two-time President of Nintendo Satoru Iwata and Ken Berry led to a policy change from the development team. Miyamoto announced that Mario would return to development and announced Chris Roberts as Art director. According to Ueda, M2, Naka and Nintendo President Satoru Iwata created four types of characters for the game: Koopas - strong melee fighters that had to be closed in on to perform attacks, also performed wall-jumping. I'm told that they were designed to look like a band of garbage men, with the hat to make them more menacing. Ponies - we're told that they were based on the four colors of old-fashioned pony ribbons, and were meant to be helpful and agile. Theremines - this one may be a reference to the peculiar and helpful security guards that can be found throughout the Mushroom Kingdom. Other characters - these are purely fictitious, but those in the know tell us that they are based on the buildings of the world of Mario that have been swallowed up by the game's landscape. We're not entirely sure, but they are likely to be unique to the game and not seen outside of it. There are some other characters in the game, but they may never make it to the final release. Is this a true story? Yes. The whole thing is true, according to people who are working on the game.

If you liked that at all, you should try RimWorld. I've played over 3,000 hours of RimWorld at this point, so I feel some need to advertise for it.

It gets a bit boring and repetitive after you've played it for a bit, but then I thought that about FTL so if you enjoyed that, you'd probably enjoy Cosmoteer - the ship building is fun though. I actually prefer Space Haven, I think it's a much better game.

Yeah I've played a lot of RimWorld, I just didn't categorise it as "space" for some reason ("sci fi" is the closest category I've given it). Subnautica probably qualifies as "space" as well, come to think of it. Might add them both.

All this will standardize is the amount of money people are willing to spend for single pieces of dlc. Glad for it. I've been thinking that video games have been too accessible lately. I think like in madden if you have a team you may as well pay about the cost of that team in real life to some fraction. You also should probably pay their salaries too (like insurance so that they stay).

Can you step on the ropes, and will the game accurately simulate the blockage of gases or fluids caused by a kink in a hosepipe? Can a traitorous crew member prevent the passage of gravity goo through a hose by kinking it, and how will this effect stealth gameplay? Will a starship's internal security AI detect the low pressure gravity goo, and how will security guards respond? Will pirates be able to tie characters up with gravity goo hoses? Will there be a concept sale for a hose-gameplay focused ship?

Hose physics/gameplay is the first iteration of technology that will eventually lead to the development of a pipeline permitting the developers to create sandworms with the minimum of effort

Yeah it’s excellent. Pretty much the perfect modern recreation of Dead Space. They kept the core of the game intact, put in some gorgeous graphics, and tweaked the gameplay and exploration just enough for it to feel fresh. It’s amazing what happens when EA stops trend chasing and just lets it’s studios make good games.

Well, obviously, when do they not cry about things being "woke". Or how game lady not make pp hard. Waah waah. gently caress Gamers. Good news about DSr, I'll play it eventually. EA getting spooked by the failure of high-profile GAAS poo poo and the unexpected success of SWJFO (unexpected by EA execs I mean, not by everyone else) that they pivot to making singleplayer games... successes like HZD, GoW, GoT, TLoU just add to it. Whomst amongst ust wouldst havest thoughtest that making boring slog games that feel like work wasn't sustainable in the end? And talking of boring slogs, as if by magic, almost as if I'd planned it, we're back to shart citizen! (has anyone said shart citizen yet)
