DK64 is sometimes accused of killing the collectathon genre. While I’m not sure if the accusations are deserved, DK64 was too ambitious with the amount of collectibles and the size of levels for its own good.

It’s still a great game. I think I prefer DK64 over Tooie overall.

I played both in my childhood, and I don’t think I’ve ever returned to Tooie after I beat it first time. It’s a good game, but doesn’t have that same lasting appeal as the first game.

You touched a bit on the why: the game is too ambitious. The levels are too massive and too intertwined. Smaller isolated levels fit the collectathon format better.

I remember having lots of fun with the multiplayer though, so that’s a bonus.

If you want to continue the collectathon journey you should try out Donkey Kong 64. It’s also a game that falls under its own ambitions, but in different ways. Still a good game, but nothing beats Kazooie.

100 player survival mode could be fun. It worked for Tetris and Mario, and I can imagine something similar would work for Crazy Taxi.

As long they manage to maintain a steady player base and stay away from predatory monetary practices - which probably is just wishful thinking.

Could be like Mario 35, which was pretty fun

Avatar 2 is still one of the most successful films of all time. Barbie and Oppenheimer did well as well.

I think the main problem is that Hollywood doesn’t have that many big blockbuster franchises ongoing. There aren’t that many new movies that attract viewers. Superhero movies are finished. Star Wars is mostly TV now. Hollywood hasn’t managed to find any replacement for these franchises.

Side note, I’m impressed Vimm’s lair is still going strong. I remember using it to get SNES ROMs for ZSNES early 2000s.

If they’re successful they might consider making a Shadow x Shrek game.

I went the political route:

🇷🇺 Putin + 💩 Trump = 👬 Bromance

Christmas 🎄 + Ninja 🥷 = Santa 🎅

Nice

It’s like Euro Truck Simulator, but with a weird story involving ghosts and babies.

Not so fast! Sometimes they also announce the return of old franchises, just to be shut down shortly after.

Like Timesplitters 4.

After getting disappointing sales figures they will probably conclude it’s all because console gaming is dead and that they should instead focus on making mobile live service games where the real money is.

”us” = we in the comments complaining

If she had stuck to making videos about physics most of us would probably be fine with her. Once she started to cover loaded topics like trans women in sports the reputation of her went down the drain. This tainted our trust towards all her other videos.

And her autism video. I don’t understand why she feels the need to have a say in subjects she has no expertise in.

This probably means one thing: Sony is making their own Bloodborne Kart!

Good practices don’t matter much for small hobby projects.

Anaconda in TimeSplitters 2, mostly for the incredibly catchy music.

Wait until you realize PS3 is older than what SNES was when PS3 was released.

I will never forgive them for closing down free radical. It’s the closest we’ve been to a new Timesplitters game in a long time.
