>>180710 >What the hell is ".ogg"? Ogg is a free, open container format maintained by the Xiph.Org Foundation. The authors of the Ogg format state that it is unrestricted by software patents and is designed to provide for efficient streaming and manipulation of high-quality digital multimedia. Its name is derived from "ogging", jargon from the computer game Netrek. The Ogg container format can multiplex a number of independent streams for audio, video, text (such as subtitles), and metadata. In the Ogg multimedia framework, Theora provides a lossy video layer. The audio layer is most commonly provided by the music-oriented Vorbis format or its successor Opus. Lossless audio compression formats include FLAC, and OggPCM. Before 2007, the .ogg filename extension was used for all files whose content used the Ogg container format. Since 2007, the Xiph.Org Foundation recommends that .ogg only be used for Ogg Vorbis audio files. The Xiph.Org Foundation decided to create a new set of file extensions and media types to describe different types of content such as .oga for audio only files, .ogv for video with or without sound (including Theora), and .ogx for multiplexed Ogg. As of November 7, 2017, the current version of the Xiph.Org Foundation's reference implementation is libogg 1.3.3. Another version, libogg2, has been in development, but is awaiting a rewrite as of 2018. Both software libraries are free software, released under the New BSD License. Ogg reference implementation was separated from Vorbis on September 2, 2000. Because the format is free, and its reference implementation is not subject to restrictions associated with copyright, Ogg's various codecs have been incorporated into a number of different free and proprietary media players, both commercial and non-commercial, as well as portable media players and GPS receivers from different manufacturers.

Netflix’s Resident Evil Showrunner Defends Albert Wesker Race Swap, Says Live-Action Adaptations Are “Limiting” Themselves By Casting Based On Character Accuracy >Speaking to his decision to race-swap iconic villain Albert Wesker in Netflix’s upcoming Resident Evil series, showrunner Andrew Dabb has argued that live-action adaptations of other media are “limiting” themselves by casting based on character accuracy to a given source material. >Based on Capcom’s horror video game series of the same name and unrelated to either the previous Paul W.S. Anderson film series or 2021’s Welcome To Racoon, Netflix’s upcoming Resident Evil “will feature a new original story in two timelines.” >The second timeline is a future world more than 10 years later,” the company continues. “The number of human beings on the earth is now less than 15 million, and the T-virus has turned the Earth into a monster of more than 6 billion people and animals. In this new world, Jade, now 30 years old, fights for survival, but is also tormented by the secrets of her past surrounding her sister, her father, and herself.” >Audiences were given their first look at the live-action series, which will star Lance Reddick (John Wick series) as Albert Wesker and Ella Balinska (Charlie’s Angels (2019)) as his daughter in the future timeline, with the release of its first teaser trailer on May 12th. >That same day, Entertainment Weekly published an interview with Dabb, recounting an earlier conversation they held with the showrunner during an earlier Resident Evil media press event held in April. >Asked by a journalist at the event for insight into his decision to race-swap Wesker with Reddick’s casting, Dabb replied, “If you know the games, Wesker is dead. He got blown up by a rocket launcher in a volcano [at the end of Resident Evil 5].” >The games are our backstory,” he added. “So, everything in the games exists in this world. So, how is Wesker alive now? >I will say stay tuned and the answer is not like, ‘He’s immune to lava.'” Dabb further asserted, “I don’t want to give too much away, but I will say the explanation for why Wesker is the way that he is and how he is still alive go hand in hand.” >As for the specific choice to cast Reddick, Dabb posited to the crowd, “I think when you are casting in the modern day and age, if you are limiting yourself based on, ‘Well, this character is blonde, so we gotta look at blonde actors,’ you’re gonna find yourself in a bad position.” >When Lance was interested in doing the part, you’re not gonna find anybody better than him to play this character — both the dad part of the character and also the more corporate killer part,” he defended. >At that point, you’re making the show weaker by going with someone that may be more aesthetically a match to the game.” “So, why would you weaken a show like that?” >Dabb asked in conclusion. “It makes no sense to me, and luckily Netflix and Constantin [Film] as well were very much on board with that. The goal here is to do the strongest show.” >The eight-episode Resident Evil is set to debut on Netflix on July 14th. What do you make of Dabb’s justification for race-swapping Wesker? https://archive.ph/rQUKy DBD X RESIDENT EVIL: PROJECT W KILLER AND SURVIVOR LEAKED FOR CHAPTER 25 >Another Dead By Daylight x Resident Evil crossover has been announced as Project W and leaks suggest it is Chapter 25 with the new DBD killer and survivor also possibly revealed. >It’s shaping up to be an incredibly exciting year for Dead By Daylight fans. Not only is Chapter 24 and the Anniversary event right around the corner in June, but a dating simulator and Attack On Titan crossover are also coming. >We are also getting another collaboration with Capcom as part of Year 7 and it could be better than the first if the leaks are fully true. >BeHaviour Interactive announced the Dead By Daylight x Resident Evil Project W crossover during their Anniversary 2022 event livestream. >This will be the second collaboration between BeHaviour Interactive and Capcom. The first DLC was in 2021 and it featured Leon and Jill as survivors with Nemesis as the killer. >Even though it was confirmed on May 17th, another crossover between Dead By Daylight and RE was originally unearthed on Twitter by DBDLeaks. >It wasn’t mentioned as Project W at the time, but the leaks suggest it’s Chapter 25. This means it is likely to arrive sometime in September assuming there’s no delays. DBD ALBERT WESKER KILLER AND ADA WONG SURVIVOR >Leaks say that the Dead By Daylight x Resident Evil Project W Chapter 25 crossover will star Albert Wesker as the killer and Ada Wong as survivor. >In addition to Ada Wong, it’s also suggested that Rebecca Chambers will join her as survivor. This would match the first crossover between Capcom and BeHaviour where there was one baddie and two good guys. >Ada Wong is a fan-favourite RE protagonist mostly recognised from RE2 and RE4. Meanwhile, Rebecca Chambers is a lesser known character to casual fans. >She was a supporting hero in the first game, and there are rumours that she will star in an unannounced title named Resident Evil Outrage. >Lastly, Albert Wesker is a famous villain from the series. He is basically responsible for most of the horrific events in the entire franchise and he notably died in RE5. https://archive.ph/pJPf4

Author Mercedes Lackey and her husband removed from Nebula Conference for using the term "colored person" https://archive.ph/rJ3IU https://archive.ph/AIdSp The context was her praising black author Samuel Delany. This comes the week after after the Nebula Awards gave her a lifetime achievement award ("Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master"). Her husband wasn't even present when she said it, they just removed him for being married to her. Included are screenshots of Facebook comments from Delany and her husband I saw floating around, I haven't tried hunting down and archiving them.

Skull and Bones has a new first mate, as Ubisoft hires Call of Duty veteran >Skull and Bones, Ubisoft’s long-delayed multiplayer pirate game, has had yet another change in management, as a veteran producer of Call of Duty joins its development team. >Neven Dravinksi worked as a senior producer on Call of Duty as far back as 2012’s Black Ops 2. He most recently directed the production of Warzone and Modern Warfare's live service elements. According to a press release, he’s joined Skull and Bones as a senior producer to shape the game’s vision and strategy >The press release made no mention of a potential release date. Ubisoft is still officially targeting a launch window between 2022 and 2023, and its language suggests the game is still very much in the thick of development. >Dravinksi hasn’t been brought on to oversee the completion of the title, but to lead the development team as it continues work on the game. >“I am excited to join the talented teams of Ubisoft Singapore,” he said in a press release. >”The Skull and Bones development team is working on an incredibly exciting project, and I look forward to supporting them as they bring the game’s vision to life”. >That will be no mean feat. Skull and Bones has faced a turbulent development since it began life as an expansion to Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag back in 2013. >A Kotaku report released last year detailed how its scope and gameplay had dramatically changed over the course of development, with its setting, core naval gameplay loop, and creative direction being radically upended throughout. >Skull and Bones has long been beleaguered by changes in management, too. Elizabeth Pellen is currently acting as the game’s third creative director, and it was only earlier this year that co-director Antoine Henry left the project. >That yet another senior manager is being introduced might be taken as a sign that the game’s tumultuous development isn’t yet behind it, as new hands are brought on to the ship to steer it into calmer waters. >However, Ubisoft will likely be hoping Dravinski – and his 20 years of video game production experience – will be the key to curing Skull and Bones’ ills. >Earlier this year, six minutes of Skull and Bones gameplay was leaked on Reddit, giving us a glimpse of its naval combat, before being promptly removed for copyright violation. >While it wasn’t clear at what stage of the game's production the video had been captured, PCGamer reckoned it looked fairly similar to what it had seen during a 2018 preview. Players journey across the high seas and skirmish in fast-paced naval combat, completing contracts to earn infamy and upgrade their ship. >Although originally slated to release in 2018, Ubisoft has delayed the game numerous times. It’s currently due to launch in the 2022 fiscal year, which would place it somewhere between April 2022 and April 2023. But even that wide margin may prove too soon. https://archive.ph/PcUoH GAMING HORROR Twisted paedo ‘used Fornite & Call of Duty to prey on kids & force them to pose naked as cops find 2,000 abuse images’ >A TWISTED paedophile allegedly used online games like Fortnite and Call of Duty to abuse kids as he bribed them with in game items. >Convicted sex abuser Aldo Maximiliano, 42, was caught by cops in Spain and allegedly had 2,000 files of child abuse images from an massive online grooming operation. >He was already a convicted paedophile - having previously served sentences for 22 sexual crimes against minors and two for exhibitionism. >Maximiliano, who lived with his elderly mother in Malaga, used online shooter games Fortnite and Call of Duty - along with fantasy roleplaying game World of Warcraft - to meet his suspected victims, reports La Opinion De Malaga. >The paedophile, a former football coach, is alleged to have groomed at least 26 victims aged between eight and 12. >He is accused of posing as a child and offered youngsters virtual gifts - such as in game weapons and passes - before convincing them to appear on camera on video messaging service Skype. >Maximiliano would then allegedly pressure the children to appear naked, only to then screenshot the image and save it on his computer. >Civili Guard investigators trawled through 560 gigabytes of information which revealed his suspected chats and interactions with young gamers. >He is believed to have accessed online games 3,000 times and made 81 payments to accounts belonging to minors. >Video footage of his arrest in southern shows the paedo being led away by police while other officers search his computers. >Cops began investigating Aldo in July 2021 - and he has now been charged with crimes of sexual abuse and recruitment of minors. >It is not ruled out that there are more victims so the investigation remains open. Police were first alerted to him when the parents of one boy, 9, became concerned about a "friend" he had made on Fortnite. >The boy would allegedly game with Aldo and would appear on video calls with him. The child then admitted to his parents he would allegedly undress for the paedophile in exchange for online gifts. >"Once we caught him, the most difficult thing was to identify the children who appeared in those photos," cops told El Espanol. >They found Maximiliano would allegedly sometimes spend years grooming his alleged victims forging "long-term friendships" with them. >Researchers had the horrific task of going through the 2,000 images picture-by-picture to try and identify the children. >Civil Guard then had to get in touch the parents of any victims who they could name - with at least three in Malaga. >Cops are also investigating separate allegations that Maximiliano abused a victim he met a nudist beach he frequented in Benalmádena. https://archive.ph/M7Anj

>>180723 A PS4/PS5 emulator that already runs a couple commercial games.

>>180710 >SMT is for redditors. <Implying that redditors even like Bucketheads wild adventures in DOOM land and not the retarded high school simulations to feel like the jawks that bullied them Please.

>>180725 Oh, sweet. I can't wait to emulate all one PS4/PS5 games. Jokes aside, I'm sure there's some stuff there that doesn't deserve to be stuck on those consoles, like Gravity Rush.

>>180726 A game series where you fight God & demons? Pretty reddit.

>>180722 >the Bloodborne machine is now just simply machine >mfw Wish they would hurry up on cracking the Xbox 360

>>180732 Utawarerumono Zan on the PS4. And that Virtua-On x To Aru Majutsu no Index crossover game that is essentially Virtua-On 3.5 with better control options. I think that's it honestly. And Yakuza Isshin, unless it got ported to the PC and I forgot about it but I'm pretty sure only the mainline games and the FotNS got ported to PC.

>>180733 Isshin is on PS3, i have a sealed copy cheap from yahoo auction

>>180734 And PS4 as well, it was a dual release, just like Yakuza 0. Now that I remember it, Oneechanbara Z2 Chaos is on the PS4 only and Sengoku Basara 4 Sumeragi and Yukimura Den. Both have a PS3 version as well but at the time it was limited compared to the PS4 version. And no PC release, once again. I honestly can't think of any other reason to own a PS4. And the Basara games aren't backwards compatible with PS5? Dunno about Oneechanbara either.

>>180732 Tell me about the eyebrow loli, what is her secret?

There's also that one anon who constantly brings up the Shadow of the Beast remake that I actually really want to play at some point.

>>180730 Spine and RPCS4 is currently Linux exclusive and closed-source. This and GPCS4 are available on Windows and open source. >>180732 >am I missing anything? Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise, Ghosts of Tsushima, Shadow of the Beast, and one of the Yakuza games.
