i-think-that More videogame devs should reuse assets from game to game, it decreases workload and crunch and I love seeing the old door opening animation every time

[–] [email protected] 33 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Absolutely. The Yakuza/Judgement/Like a Dragon games reuse maps and animations like TV shows reuse sets and locations and there is nothing wrong with this.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Persona's core mechanics, arcana design, character animations etc too. Sega and other Japaneese developed/published stuff do this a lot and it doesn't hurt the games when the core of them is solid and they have style.

Tbh I do get a little tired of the times when the demons don't change much game to game. Creating new models and art and completely redoing the theme is a lot to ask for each release, but it feels like they stagnated when they made the switch to 3d models. I want them to like contract outside artists to give different renditions based on the same descriptions at least once. There's tons and tons of art and depictions of pretas out there and for sure with other folklore creatures.

Remember when half life one was just an engine you used to make your good game with? This is what gaming will be after the revolution

Garrys Mod is Roblox without the capitalists exploiting children for profit

Just individual server owners or whatever

Every time I see a game use the Quake light flicker code I get a warm glow.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

TIL this is a thing

Valve has been using exactly the same flickering effect for over 25 years

The flickering light effect was likely written by none other than John Carmack for “Quake” in 1996. That was part of a library of flickering presets compiled by John Romero in 1993 while working on “DoomED”:

neat.

All things that I don't personally like are capeshit slop, all things that I do like are unique artful masterpieces that can broach no criticism.

Anyway, this looks kinda cool, but I'm mostly just waiting for their mage-heavy game that they've had cooking in development for a few years. Or for Sony to get off their asses and port Bloodborne to PC so I have a panic attack against Father Gascoigne again, but this time in a crisp 144 FPS.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 days ago (3 children)

i kinda still think bloodborne port is never happening and it would for sure be locked to 60 anyway lol. the good news is it will be playable at 120 on an emulator before too long!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago

My slight-copium guess is that they're holding off to have it as a launch title for the PS6, but it's also possible they just lost all the original source code and would have to decompile the existing game to even build a starting point to remaster it.

I want an AC6 expansion/followup.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Having one or more standalone spinoff after each numbered entry is kinda tradition at this point so I'd assume it's coming eventually. Elden Ring just sold better so it gets to go first.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago

AC6 was also a sort of side team rather than a full studio project, so they've probably still got people on that. AFAIK AC6 was easily the most popular and successful Armored Core game, so it may get more resources now that they've confirmed there is a market base for it. There's just a long windup for any release now.

If you don't want it that's just more FromSlop for me feral-hog

Maybe I just don't know enough about Elden Ring but this reads like a borderline BMF post to me

[–] [email protected] 24 points 6 days ago (16 children)

it looks cool ngl. i thought it was an MMO or some shit for a min but streamlined elden ring co-op game with better movement and stuff is actually very appealing

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 days ago (1 children)

When it showed the blue flame circle closing I was certain it was a battle royale.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago

Then throw in Ezyke's Rot Breath to make things a little more spicy.

Please just milk Bloodborne by releasing a PC version

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago

If the acquisition doesnt work out sony is gonna stream themselves blowing up the last harddrive containing the BB sourcecode

It's not a real roguelike until the default movement keys are hjkl.

I’m actually really hyped for Elden Ring Roguelike Anime Coop Edition.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago

It’s a co-op roguelite spinoff side project by aspiring devs at From, not a Miyazaki project.

We used to have these filler spinoff games back in the PS2 era. It’s not that serious.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 days ago

If anything it would be cool to be able to play a full on coop with my friends. I'll wait and see for more details but I like it.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

so this is a completely new coop game? i hate how marketing obscures the true identity of new games, it only hurts their player count when they don't just name a genre or two apart from "hohhhhhh its dodging and rollin and cleave a demon's face in"

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 days ago (7 children)

wait so this is elden ring w/ co-op mod features and with all of the boring ahh open world shit cut out from the game leaving just pure boss battles with friends?

honestly crazy they can put out so much so fast and we all know it's going to be quality. they even did armored core 6 between all this elden ring stuff

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago

I'll still play it, the best part about dark souls is how it is basically a universe defined by dementia. Everything repeats.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago

why can't gamers be normal about something for once

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago (3 children)

I’ve never played an Elden Ring game before in my life
