People really thought Rover was the kind of villager that would come to live in their town after they found him in the maze yesterday.

You can't keep a railway cat tied down to a single place. They've gotta be free to go where they want.

what the gently caress am I reading, someone leaked internal design documents for the wii and ique?

The one bright spot to all of these leaks going public is that I'll hopefully never have to hear, "Nintendo doesn't archive anything and that's why they have to download all their own ROMS off the net to sell them back to you and there's no preservation anywhere." again because loving. CHRIST. that's a drat lie now.

I know the big take away from this old interview should be how it's seemingly the thesis for what Naughty Dog has been since it was done in 2003, but I can't stop thinking about how Jason Rubin says he's 33 during it.

Like drat what are we doing with our lives if we're all already in our thirties and haven't created at least two big platforming franchises by now?

Also I mean of all the Mario games to say "Has MARIO ever been to prison?" picking Sunshine is like...the one you should pick the least, to make that point.

I do wonder how a new GTA would land in TYOOL 2020. I feel like people are sick of playing a nihilistic gently caress these days.

I mean in the first Bully the main antagonist literally dressed up as a Nazi for Halloween and you eventually got to punch his lights out by the end of the game so like, Bully 2 could work out well these days.

quote:

Intellivision Entertainment has announced a key hire in J Allard, who joins the firm as global managing director.

"Amico's vision speaks to me, not just because I grew up with Intellivision, but because I grew up playing with my family and friends," said Allard.

"Playing together is a timeless concept that I feel the video game industry has largely forgotten. The Intellivision team is deeply committed to bringing back shared fun and affordable gaming for everyone."

I still can't tell whether this is just a Vanity Project or an investment scheme of some sort.

At this point I'm just waiting for Ouya Julie to join the team and become the official spokesperson for the Amico "Bringing Back Affordable Fun For Everyone" campaign.

Sucker Punch talked to real, live Japanese people for accuracy purposes for Ghosts of Tsushima which is apparently more than they did with Second Son:

I might be showing my whole rear end here, but is she being racist, like "Keep american jobs in america?"

If I recall the protagonists of Second Son were marketed as Indigenous and yeah in the game they were but...they were from a fictional tribe in the game? And not from any of the actual tribes that still exist in Seattle? Which wouldn't be that far for the developers to drive to because they're located in Bellevue.

I really feel like the headline buries the lede on why we've got to burn it all down and salt the Earth so nothing can ever grow again in Club Penguin land.

Especially when you read the actual BBC report the story originates from:

https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-52677039

quote:

Penguin e-sex

The BBC set up an account on the English, Spanish and Portuguese versions of Club Penguin Online.

It found:

- content filters designed to remove offensive language had been disabled on several servers, allowing swear words, homophobic slurs, anti-Semitism and racist messages to be posted publicly

- moderators were no longer removing racist content. One player invited the BBC to their igloo, which was decorated to spell out the n-word

- players were engaging in "penguin e-sex", sending and receiving explicit messages

Although it is impossible to verify the age of users, many told the BBC they were teenagers, and there were children playing, too.

Putting gacha mechanics in a single-player game like that is dumb as gently caress but somehow I was able to push through it and had a good time with it, especially at endgame. The story eventually turns into entertaining trash, too, but the character designs are pretty loving bad with like two exceptions.

Are we including regular rear end slot and roulette casino games in the conversation of gambling mechanics in single-player?

Because as we all know that's just a time-honored tradition in some games.

What are the odds of you actually getting Mario from the gacha in a Mario Kart game?

Any version of Mario will do

You can just buy a Mario for like 3000 coins.

But you can only earn 300 coins per day. So it takes ten days without any bonus coins you might acquire in order to get to said 3000 coins. And then you'll have to wait for him to show up in the shop.

It's ok the next Halo game will finally introduce time-travel into the plot and for some contrived reason Master Chief ends up in the house he grew up in and witnesses his own kidnapping but does not try to stop it. Then there's a scene where he meets his mom and dad. It's very emotional because of the music playing as Master Chief awkwardly hugs his parents.

Barely anyone is going to be able to buy a PS5 this year anyways.

It's okay there's a special sauce to make sure there are enough PS5's produed to go around.

The sauce of course being the unpaid slave labor. There was like, a good week or so before the Pandemic really took a hold of the Western world where it did seem like gamers might have actually become aware of how all their electronics are made and they might have actually risen up but the story came out at probably the worst time for it to make any sort of traction.
