kids today are missing out of the pre-streaming era, where your childhood was at least partially defined by some semi-obscure movie your family just happened to own on tape and you watched several dozen times
being privately owned so you don't have to respond to investors (objectively the lowest form of life)
the second Gabe retires or dies Valve is gonna become the absolute worst company in the industry frame one
I love when people rag on stuff like this and then game developers are like 'it took us six months and 14 different revisions before accepting that we had to take camera control from the player to make them look up to see something they needed to see'
it's so funny the way people talk about anime and manga
no bro you can't just start by watching Drive. That's too advanced. Let's get you started on some Paw Patrol and then maybe we can move you up to marvel movies for a while
As the follow-up tweet to this says, Williams had these conditions cause he didn't want mainstream actors to marginalize voice actors in their own field, which is stunningly prescient cause that's exactly what has ended up happening
Disney has a long history of breaking their contracts by the way.
Robin Williams only agreed to voice The Genie in Aladdin for a reduced fee on condition that his name, image and voice not be used to promote the film or to sell stuff.
Disney broke their word on all counts.
it's wild how there's so many great games coming out in every conceivable genre atm but people who like exactly one type of game are moping and seething cuz it used to be the dominant genre (thank god we're past that)
This picture was probably taken after or around the Wii's launch, but it's still a reminder that consoles used to - shocker - actually fucking go down in price over time, something that basically hasn't happened in a solid decade
remember when that billionaire was like "I'm revolutionizing deep sea exploration by not giving a shit about safety standards" and then liquified himself and a bunch of other people
an entire industry exists to teach people 'food hacks' when the single biggest factor in making home cooked food taste more like restaurant food is 'use significantly more butter than you would be comfortable with'
The Isekai genre slowly mutating from 'imagine if you had super powers and eight wives' and 'imagine if you had a job and a place to live that you owned' probably means something but I'm not sure what
people aren't ready for this but we're unironically in the middle of a cultural reset, in 1-2 years right wingers will hate anime and video games. The new popularity of the term 'tranime' is evidence of this. It will only get funnier from here.
Dunking on Suicide Squad is funny but imagine someone who worked on that game the entire time. 9 years. It's 2020. You've been in this project forever. You can't see the game coming together at all. The industry has moved past the trends your game is based on.
Covid happens.
Asinine that so many devs are dipping their toes into AI to make fake adverts and posters when having an intern make something insane in fifteen minutes with photoshop would not only go over better in terms of PR, but players would like it more
Imagine a world without Minmo.
The success of Elden Ring confirms something I've said for years; that the potential to be surprised is critically important for an open world game with exploration as a key feature. If you know you'll never be surprised the game just becomes filling out lists.
without exaggeration the day valve goes public you need to get a vpn and pirate all the games you own because it's an active timer from then until you have to pay a sub to access shit you already bought
People treat blocking on twitter as super serious but it really isn't
a lot of times I just see a take and go 'it is better for both of us that we never engage with one another' and just hit the button
rise of skywalker is so goated because they made one of the worst movies ever just to negate every single thing from the previous movie. Star Wars became two guys at an improv show fighting over their routine.
Elden Ring is wild cause it literally has every single idea every other souls game has had, every single one. It's like the complete franchise in one game but it's also some insane open world thing.
A thing I like about Elden Ring is that the Tarnished is fucking silent. Feel like a lot of games lately have been like 'if your protagonist isn't always talking to themselves the player will get bored'
Hideo Kojima is like 'the dystopian future is happening so fast now I can no longer make a game about what will happen in 5 years because it'll just happen in six months'
EA laying off around 670 employees.
"We are also sunsetting games and moving away from development of future licensed IP that we do not believe will be successful in our changing industry.
This greater focus allows us to drive creativity, accelerate innovation, and double down…
Rowling made every choice you'd make if you wanted to frame the wizarding world - even the 'good' part of it - as a regressive isolationist society that can only evolve dramatically or succumb to fascism, but it was all accidental; she's just british
Still crazy that Sonic 06 traumatized Sega so bad that sonic games still aren't allowed to have multiple playable characters or actual stories anymore. It's been 16 years and the specter still looms
Wait, do the Zoomers not know Mario was originally an isekai? That's really funny. I get Nintendo has downplayed it for a while but still, super funny.
Game sales are funny cause there's always shit you'd never expect, like the entirely factual statement 'Luigi's Mansion 3 sold more copies than either Last of Us game'
return item to amazon
seller tells me I have to pay a restocking fee
send back 'no I don't'
day passes
seller tells me they have waived the restocking fee
Every individual fruit in
#TheLastofUsPart2
has been designed fully 3D and has it’s own physics! In fact this fruit basket alone has more physics and interactivity than any other xbox game!
These clueless xbox zealots are beyond ridiculous 🥱
Miles talking about high school: yeah we have a drone team and a esports team, a great music program, I'm so lucky to go to such a diverse and well funded school
Peter talking about high school:
funko pops are indistinct deliberately to put the focus on the funko brand rather than the actual IP, if someone owns a shitload of anime figures I assume they like a lot of anime, if someone owns a lot of funko pops I assume their wife fucks someone else
Blizzard: WoW can't be challenged in the MMO field because if a better game comes out we can just steal their mechanics lol
FFXIV: what if we had good writing and characters and music
Blizzard:
Blizzard Employee in 2010: Whew, just finished stealing breast milk from the break room fridge, now to remove the damage from Warlock's Life Siphon
Me: emerging from a time portal with a glock as robocop's theme plays
you're never going to convince people a 5/10 is 'average' when the american school system teaches you that's deep into failing, completely futile effort
I don't think Community Notes really move the needle on 'disinfo' because that's not how human beings work, but it's insanely funny when someone gets noted and has their ace attorney murderer breakdown in the replies for like 7-8 posts
this collection is more embarrassing than Cyberpunk imo. At least 2077 promised the moon. This is 'release 15 year old games in a higher resolution and frame rate with mild QoL improvements, like 100 devs have done before' and bursting into flames
wow Epic gutted Mediatonic, the team that made Fall Guys, an extremely financially successful game. It's almost like corporate acquisitions are really fucking bad and lead to completely successful and healthy studios being shuttered because some dickhead wants to 'simplify'.
It's strange to me how Resident Evil never gets credit for having some of the only actually plausible 'zombie' disasters (very limited in size and scope, perfect storm of things going wrong) and how adaptations always totally eschew that for WHAT IF THE WHOLE WORLD ZOMBIE?
aw geeze rick I beat my wife now I'm gonna be arrested oh man I'm getting put into the s-squad car use your dimension gun w-we gotta get to a dimension where I didn't commit domestic abuse oh geeze
pal world is successful because they cut trailers where you sell pikachu into slavery to an arms dealer and priced their game at 26 dollars, I think trying to assign too much meaning beyond that is silly.
bro you're watching hollywood get their ass beat and every hollywood studio isn't teetering on the verge of instant collapse the way big game publishers are, what are you doing
usually in team up movies the writers try and keep both parties kinda equal cause they know there fans of both, godzilla vs kong was a bold new paradigm where they just went 'fuck primates' and had kong get washed 40 different times
When KH3 first came out, videos and streams kept getting hit with claims cause some scenes looked so close to the scenes in the movies. Frozen got this bad too.
I’m gonna be real with yall. The Pirates Of the Caribbean world in Kingdom Hearts 3 was one of the most beautiful graphic I’ve seen in ANY video game. That shit still has me in awe
Fromsoft is the only dev in the business that uses what I've coined Shock and Awe Bosses, where they will erase your ass so hard on your first encounter you will be too stunned to even contemplate what you were supposed to do
Avengers, a game almost exactly like yours but with the MCU association to help it, bombs. You keep going. Service game after service game bombs. Gotham Knights comes out. Bombs. It's fine, just another six months. Oops people saw your game and hated it. 1 Year delay.
Reminds me how weebs try to claim shit like Eva is 'advanced' as if it isn't massively mainstream piece of media that aired on American TV several times
IGN was running articles like 'Tingle: Nintendo's Biggest F****T' as late as like 2010 but if you say game journalism in the PS3/360 Era was kinda fucked up and racist all the world's most divorced men spawn in front of you to seethe
Data from Sony and Activision indicates that higher game prices are leading to fewer game sales.
In this article, I've outlined how the new $69.99 MSRP for video games could be adversely impacting game unit sales.

Between this and a judge saying "no 'ai-enhanced' evidence in my courtroom" I think we're reaching the part where the adults in the room are gonna start kneecapping this shit
It's almost over. It's almost over. Whoops your entire story and tons of cutscenes leak at Christmas. It's fine. Press Event goes badly enough that even IGN is like 'this game seems terrible'.
One month to go!
- decides virtual malls are the future
- renames company
- spends 40 billion dollars on virtual malls
- company loses so much money investing experts on cable news break down into tears apologizing for suggesting people invest in you
- does not elaborate
- leaves
it's pretty shitty how a voice actor can do a role for 30 years and then immediately be replaced the instant it's time for the IP to be 'big'
especially when the ip is already on the level of recognition of bugs bunny and mickey mouse
