I know in my heart that the L is real texture probably doesn't say anything interesting, but I hope they can dig a high rez version of it from somewhere in the files just to put it to bed. Like we just got a translation of the map icon from OoT anything feels posible right now.

Tbh its kinda funny to see GameXplain post videos about the hottest latest discoveries but they aren't acually allowed show anything so they have to just describe it instead.

Coffee Jones posted:here's the released game - absolute maze compared to LTTP or anything else, really. I wonder at what point they changed between making something based off Lttp and went on to do their own thing? This layout is so clearly still Lttp at this point but there are also elements unique to LA incorporated already. The Mario Statues are very LA for example. Edit holy poo poo looking closer Kakariko and Maybe village and Hyrule and Richard's castle look very similar also. This is nuts, so much of the game was a riff on Lttp and we didn't notice.

Theres a lot of cool stories about clever piracy protection but honestly the Game Dev Tycoon developers releasing a cracked version of their own game on pirate bay is my personal fav. The cracked version was modified so the levels of in-game piracy would exponentially increase to the point that everyone playing said version of the game would have their development studio fail and go bankrupt because nobody would actually buy your games. Then of course the people who pirated the game would take to forums and social media to complain that they couldn't stop their games from being pirated.

Other M would have been a much better game if Samus behaved exactly like she does in the joke manga. The Mew thing is really neat because not only has a glitch been discovered to catch Mew that's exactly as arbitrary to pull of as all the old schoolground rumours were but also it turns out the game is so busted it's technically possible to completely rewrite the game's code from the inside out and program Mew to actually be under the drat truck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCoQm8bIyyw&t=1423s If I understand correctly this was actually just a hacked save file but it's theoretically possible to pull of using Arbitrary Code Execution glitches. However using Ace glitches to put a rare pokemon under a truck is like using an atomic bomb to put out birthday candles so I don't know if anyone's bothered.

Vikar Jerome posted:this is cool. tho reading that whole rare gamer thing is distorting my own personal timeline canon since i recall using the BK codes to get the swap items before BT was released, it was codes found on the internet/gaming mag i think but now im wondering if im misremembering when my brother got tooie or if the release date here was later than the usa maybe or the codes were in a mag way before bt came out? eh who knows.

Ninjabread man and its siblings aren't actually the same game they have different themes and levels. The games started out as a liscenced Zool sequel but the rights owner pulled the plug because of quality concerns. Zool has pretty disparate level themes (candyland, toy box, rock and roll music) so they just split the levels they already made into three different games. Also wild seeing the Petz series apparently lasted into the wii era? Haven thought about Petz since 1995.

Catz and Dogz ruled, the animation was great for the time. I had no idea that the same people were behind Ballz but that makes so much sense. Faux 3d animation using billboard spries lends itself much better to pet sims than fighting games it turns out. Seeing a fighting game with 3D mechanics on the megadrive is kinda impressive though.

Getting nostalgic for the Scholastic book program where they'd turn up at your school with a bunch of books but they'd also have a catalog with cheap 'educational' pc games. My parents let me order the Animals educational pack which included Catz, Dogz and ... Worms.

Turns out a Timesplitters 2 easter egg in Homefront: the Revolution is actually a near complete 4K remaster of the full game that's accessable through debug codes: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.eu...-now-been-found

^^^ yeah we understand why they did the cheapest and easiest thing we just think that such a popular and profitable series of games deserves a lot better than that. The recent Tony Hawk 1+2 remake had 5 songs that they couldn't re-licence so they added in 36 new ones. Tbh a remaster that simultaneously has no interest in maintaining and preserving the original experience while also offering nothing substantially new or improved is just kinda sad. Like the only selling point of this collection in my eyes is that they were so sloppy that a bunch of interesting stuff they didn't want us to see got packed in lol.

Donkey kong became Kranky kong and theres some controversy over what became of DK junior, but theres zero evidence that mario and what we would consider 'modern DK' (ie DK jr jr) have ever interacted outside of like sports spinoffs where he coexists with his metal and baby selves anyway. New Donk has references to later Rare era Kongs in the street names but the actual visuals shown only reference the original arcade game. Mario is stuck in time and unchanging, but split across two eras: the present where most of the games happen and the past where everyone is babies. This is made very explicit in Mario and Luigi Partners in time. Broklyn accent mario doesn't exist in any canonical Mario media at all, a product of early spinoff media, no more relevant than the green megaman from the captain N cartoon.

To further confuse things Donkey Kong 94 is the direct predecessor to the Mario vs DK games, and it came out the same year as DKC. It features a version of DK that uses the older design but also wears a red tie like his grandson would later that year. The mario wiki has one page for DK and notes he is two characters, whereas the DK wiki has a page for DK and for 'Donkey Kong III'. i think this sums up peoples attitude to the the lore in both series, for a mario game who loving cares about continuity, but for DK we care very deeply.

Procrastine posted:How do you feel about the theory that the current Donkey Kong is actually DK V, with DK I being the arcade Donkey Kong who later became the Cranky Kong in the SNES DKC games, and DK III being the Donkey Kong from the SNES DKC games, who later became the Cranky Kong in the Retro Studios DKC games, as evidenced by that Cranky being nostalgic for the SNES games while the first Cranky was nostalgic for the arcade games?

Vord posted:But the dualshock is just a snes controller with two more buttons and analog sticks Tis just a step in the ever evolving trends, 2 analog sticks was a huge stepforward but both its lauded features, analog sticks and rumble, were nicked from the N64 controller and doubled. If nintendo anounced a controller that punched you in the face sony would immediately start working on one that kicks you in the balls. Xbox controller obviously ripped off the dreamcast too, same face button placement.

Pablo Nergigante posted:Dualshock has the superior left stick placement They put them there because there was room on their existing snes with legs design and they didn't want to gently caress up the conroller setup for existing games using the old design. Every other controller design since the ps1 era has the left stick in a more prominent and comfortable position. Dualshock stays as it is through sheer brand inertia and nothing else. This is the same company that launched the psp with a misaligned square button sensor because the screen bevel got in the way and they didn't want to move the buttons a few mm to the right they prioritise things looking neat and symetrical to the detrement of comfort and usability. Always have, always will.

Neddy Seagoon posted:The Vita's main strategy after a year or two was also "It plays some PS4 games portably, but you still have to buy them seperate at full retail price", which was never gonna be a winner. It's a great machine, but it didn't exactly have system-selling exclusives. The PS4 remote play on vita was actually amazing, idk whee you heard you'd have to buy twice? Iirc there were some native vita games that didn't have crossbuy with their PS4 versions and the PS3 remote play was limited and bad so maybe that's what you're thinking of? But like just connect to wifi anywhere and you could just load up and stream from your PS4 it ruled. Only downside was they for some reason didn't include the back triggers or clicky sticks on the vita so for most games you had to assign stuff to virtual buttons mapped to the rear touchpad. Most boneheaded part of the vita imo, i could forgive the sticks but no R/L2 made most games a real pain to play remotely. Remote play diablo 3 was really good because of the games robust button mapping options at least.

John Murdoch posted:I'm confounded at the idea that the "red" on what is "obviously" Mario is somehow being fully distorted or obfuscated or whatever, but not the giant red squares in the checkerboard pattern. There are quite large areas of the checkerboard that appear green tho? Paricularly on the right sides of each block of colour which is consistent with how the color bleed on the right monitor shows portions of mario as green. The left screen mario/luigi is much smaller in the frame so the whole shape fits inside the bleed. Edit: in fact the orignal picture has marios hat intersect with the red checkerboard and the side thats touching does appear red around that point. Its only fully green when the red portions of the model are completely within the white checker board squares. Mr Phillby fucked around with this message at 05:33 on Dec 18, 2023 |

John Murdoch posted:Your edit, that part I can see. But otherwise I'm flatout not seeing "quite large areas" that appear green. My response to that is what are you talking about the lives counter is completely the wrong colour? Its very desaturated on the right and appears as a greenish smear on the left. both screens in the video have the same heavy colour bleed going on. Only large blocks of colour appear to display the correct colour on these screens and even then thats only because they exeed the size of the bleed effect which seems to be of a sufficient depth to have affected the entirely of the player model. The green on the mario/luigi does appear more vivid and if the red is bleeding into the white background to the left its not perceivable like it is with the large mario on the right screen. I honestly dont know if this footage is mario or luigi, it would be supprising to me if they'd shown real footage of luigi playable at spaceworld and nobody remembered it until now, but stranger things have happened. Personally i think basing anything off the colours of these few hosed up frames of vhs footage on a crt screen is not going to get a definitive answer.
