Let me guess… Nintendo? Again?

I thought they said it was cancelled?

It can be. You basically just have to accept that there is a 50/50 chance that you are putting that money in the toilet and never seeing the final project.

I backed System Shock remake, and that was a nightmare. I put in $350 and the project was delivered extremely late after pretty egregious mismanagement. I think the only thing that saved the project was that Night Dive Studios is kind of a well known studio. Probably a nobody or start up would have just given up and kept the money.

Ragebait. Looks like it worked.

Star Wars Arcade, Space Harrier, or Afterburner, probably.

The 32X was around for such little time it didn’t really get to build up much of a library in the first place.

Japanese company attempting to apply Japanese law outside of Japan – nothing new.

Wake me up when they let Yoko Taro out of his cage.

Well my point is that the title is sensationalist. Swap the name of the game for any other game currently in development and it would still be true. It is a bad title.

I liked KC1, so I am sure I will enjoy KC2. I didnt need a hypepiece to keep me interested. I was just pointing at the title of the article.

The following games all typically do not hold the player’s hand. They are to varying degrees, some give you a map and/or journal, some do not.

• TES III Morrowind
• King’s Field 1-4
• Snatcher on SEGA CD
• Dark Souls 1-3, Demons Souls, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring
• Ultima Underworld
• Silent Hill 1-4
• Shadow of the Colossus
• Tunic
• Super Metroid
• Hollow Knight
• Rain World
• System Shock 1,2

Okay, but literally every game or piece of art starts with massive potential to be a masterpiece.

It is exactly the same game. Audio quality will be identical to the X360 release.

The picture may be a bit brighter, I haven’t noticed the X360 being darker. But picture output is effected by the emulator in the same way that picture output on a N64 emulator will appear brighter than a real N64 plugged into the composite plugs on an LED TV.

AI is not a great source to ask for any sort of factual information, just a heads up. Its good for creating new stuff, like improvising story narratives or something like being a TTRPG dungeon master, though. I just wouldn’t ever rely on anything it says to ever be factually true.

Im not an Xbox/Microsoft employee, but I will answer to the best of my knowledge. Some or all may be wrong though.

1. Both.
2. It does not transform the game at all as long as there are no bugs. Usually the only benefit is increased internal resolution, and sometimes increased framerate Everything else is identical to the original release.
3. AFAIK, no. When you install the game it doesn’t actually copy the files, it downloads them because some of the files are patched. No internet means you cant download. I think it also needs occasional connection to check. I do think you can play offline but not for 20 years straight.
4. To my knowledge, no, there is no significant difference. I think it probably is exactly identical, actually. It is however, different from how backwards compatibility worked on the Xbox 360. It is significantly improved.
5. Cross-generational System Link. Its cool being able to have one player on Original Xbox and one on Series X in the same game.

Nintendo. Nintendo, and it’s not even close.

• Snatcher
• Policenauts
• King’s Field (any of them, even Pilot Style)
• Halo 1-3 + ODST and Reach
• Yakuza 0
• Silent Hill 2 (the original, Enhanced Edition for PC is still the best way to experience SH2)
• Life is Strange (only the original game, completely ignore the fanbase, theyre all toxic)
• Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (too bad BioWare doesnt have a single good or competent writer anymore)
• NieR, both Gestalt and Automata
• Rule of Rose
• Dark Souls 1-3
• Elden Ring
• Kuon
• Armored Core (all of them, but the controls are hard to deal with before Nexus)
• Steel Battalion (only if you can find and afford the controller, otherwise dont bother)

Absolutely not. This game is more interested in yapping in your ear than letting you race.

That one Ubisoft shareholder was right. Ubisofts current management is trying to sabotage their profits. Thats crazy.

Because NFS Unbound sucks. Never in my life have I tried to refund a game so quickly. Couldn’t make it past the first hour of the game.

The characters just won’t shut up, I’m trying to drive not hear people yap about how the illegal street racers that cause millions in public property damage and multiple fatalities each race are so oppressed by the government.

Don’t make a girl a promise if you know you can’t keep it.

This town is full of monsters, how can you sit there and eat pizza?

I actually tried to purchase this IP from its current owner (at the time about 8 or so years ago), who IIRC used to be a CFO or some other financial executive at 3DO. He was a nice guy, but we didn’t agree on the value of the IP.

I think its really strange that they are only re-releasing on exactly the same platform. I can only imagine this means all the source code is completely lost, and the IP owner has no interest in selling or something.

I think a remaster with online multiplayer could be a lot of fun. Like the arcade version of World of Tanks.

Which is exactly why the US senator that said this is a left-wing Democrat, right?

Politics is so tiresome.

Absolutely no chance it wins any of them though.

Not because it doesn’t deserve to win at least one, it definitely does, but because the people who count for 90% of the vote were literally writing misinformation riddled hit pieces and for some reason think that Chinese gamers are only 3/5ths of a gamer or something (to discredit the large player count).
