>>1029149 This level of awareness is amazing. I had no idea any of the retards over there were capable of realizing all this. Shame he is likely an isolated case so fuckall will come of this. >>1029266 (checked) >I do have to wonder what his thoughts are on his own leadership of PlayStation and if he would have done anything different Assuming he is active on social media, you can try asking there. Or find an email address to ask about it. I've had good luck in the past with getting responses from devs by email/mail.

Today (October 18th, 2024) is the 30th anniversary of Sonic & Knuckles, famous for implementing lock-on technology. Do you anons have any good memories associated with the game, whether you got it when it released or played it later? *Wasn't sure if this was worthy of it's own thread**

>>1029266 >Layden has spent the last few years a massively outspoken critic of the industry As has EVERYONE who was involved with the industry since the 90's. The problem is I don't give a shit what these people have to say anymore when they're the ones who, not only enabled but, actively ENCOURAGED those types of behaviors. Including the ridicule and exclusion of the people who were outspoken against. Now the results of these actions have come to roost, and suddenly I'm suppose to support them because they're saying the "right things" and pointing out a problem people have had an issue with since the beginning? No, I don't accept that at all. They are the ones who did this to themselves, and they won't receive a single ounce of sympathy from me. Every single one of these management and veteran fucks needs to quit bitching and leave.

>>1029284 This is the first game I remember buying new, or rather having my parents buy it for me. I was already a big fan of Sonic 1, 2, and Spinball. By the time I managed to convince my dad to buy me Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles was already out, and the commercials told me I could connect it to Sonic 2, so I got that. It was awesome. I was too young to actually beat the game, I could only get to Lava Reef Zone with both characters, but it was still my favorite. Not like I could beat the other games either. I could get further in Sonic 2 with Knuckles, but still couldn't beat Metropolis Zone. Then the Saturn came out, and like everyone else I didn't get one, and I forgot about Sonic for years. But by the time the PS2 came out I happened across a copy of Sonic 3 and finally realized that I really was missing out on the full Sonic & Knuckles experience the whole time. It wasn't just like locking on with Sonic 2. It was way better. Was it worth the $120 it would have cost when new? Probably not. But it's still one of my favorite games ever, and it reignited my Sonic autism which I carry with me to this day.

>>1029336 Swamp creature made swamp swampier, got paid, moved out of swamp, now says swamp is swampy.

>>1029149 Double AA is just fine though? Maybe not at Sony - but there's a shit ton of decent titles that straddle the line between low budget indie joints and massive resource sinks like Uncharted 4, COD, FFXVI, etc. The 2023 release of Robocop that everyone seemed to like was one of them. Ys X is coming out next week, and that's AA. Kena came out in 2022 and made it's budget back in a month. Even some really spectacular looking games like Kingdom Come Deliverance are made by smaller teams for under 30 million. It's not that AA is dead - it's that the old AA studios either all got swallowed up to act as outsourcing farms for AAA or went out of business. Now there are a bunch of new players in the AA space which apparently he's just not familiar with. THQ spun off Nordic, which then rebranded as Embracer and their entire business model is largely AA games with a spattering of more modest AAA. It's just that Sony used to be a AA powerhouse and they pissed it all away in order to chase after TLOU "Cinematic Experiences".

Jackbox night is live for Spooktober: https://cytu.be/r/jackbox1

New Crowbcat video is out. It's about the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. https://invidious.nerdvpn.de/watch?v=31LpUdgIjDU

>>1033655 >changed viet cong to mole Lmfao, fucking why?

>>1033665 They're afraid of offending someone. Even though the viet cong have technically been disbanded for decades. Anyone playing the game can see that Cliff is insane and has severe PTSD, so no one will take what he says seriously. But the developers and writers didn't want to take any risks by including the name of a controversial group so they removed a vital part of his characterization. It's the same reason the game removed the word "lady" from a couple stores, as well as the comment about a woman being beautiful. These may seem harmless, but there is a little niche crowd out there that considers these distinctions between male and female, as well as comments about someone's appearance, to be very offensive. So to avoid risks they took them out in the remaster.

>>1033688 I made that comment just after seeing the first thing from the video. The rest of the video made it abundantly clear that capcom is legitimately fucking insane. The amount of censorship is more than I think I've ever seen in basically any game before. I really hope this video picks up traction, people need to witness how fucking batshit this level of censorship is.

>>1033738 It wasn't Capcom, they outsourced it to some random Chinese company. If Capcom made it in-house the censorship would be much worse.

>>1033738 >The rest of the video made it abundantly clear that capcom is legitimately fucking insane. It really is a type of insanity, in a way. It's a lot like paranoia. Capcom is so worried about losing sales to a small group of people (that don't even buy their games in the first place) that they are willing to make the smallest and most unneeded alterations. >I really hope this video picks up traction, people need to witness how fucking batshit this level of censorship is. It probably will, it seems like Crowbcat is a lot of peoples way of seeing how a game has been badly developed, changed, or censored. A lot of the people who watch these videos might not have the same information resources we do when it comes to learning about censorship. Imagine being in the shoes of someone who never played the original Dead Rising, but has become a Capcom fan in recent years, and thinks that this game is a definitive, improved, actually remastered form of the original. You wouldn't even notice the dialogue alterations, or that the store names were changed, and so on. This video will spread and get a lot of views over the next several days. It helps that this is his first video in about a year. Oh, and in case someone was wondering, the outfit where Frank is wearing nothing but his shoes, socks, and underwear is still in the game. Totally uncensored. In the same game where some characters were given pants instead of dresses, and the outfits of more important female characters were changed to be slightly less revealing. >>1033742 Do we know how much influence Capcom had in the process? It may have been outsourced, but Capcom could have provided a list of things to change and the Chinese company complied as ordered. So in that case, it would still be Capcom's doing.

>>1033758 >Do we know how much influence Capcom had in the process? I'm 100% the USA branch was on top of it

>>1033762 It probably was. The kinds of censorship in DRDR line up with changes made in other games influenced by USA branches of game companies. What happened with Dead Rising actually reminded me of Fire Emblem: Engage. Specifically the part about not mentioning beauty. There is one instance where, in the original Japanese version, a character is praised for having inner beauty that shines through her smile. In the English version, she is praised for being a wonderful person instead. In another instance, a princess describes another character as beautiful. In the English version, she just says "How marvelous" when she sees her. The localization of the game was handled by Nintendo Treehouse, which is in the USA. It seems like translation teams consider "beautiful" to be a word that is almost always subject for removal, and has thought this way since at least 2023 (it's very likely to be earlier). This was discussed a little in the Sonic thread >>1030488, but maybe there is a list that video game companies have that has a bunch of banned words considered to always be inappropriate for a game, even if it is rated M or T? Nintendo, Sony, Capcom, etc. could all have very similar lists, hence the consistent language alterations across many different games.

Man fuck Kohlchan, it has become once again a unhinged den of proxy pedos

>>1033838 same as it ever was

>>1033840 The pedos are going full unhinged now there is at least 3 threads about halloween and they all post how penises are great and dumped the thread full of CSAM shit. Fucking hell. Kohlchan alone sucks because there is nothing interesting going on, only lame tier schizo posting then countryballs calling each other brown and comparing to themselves as the whitest aryan fighter of Waffen SS and whatever the fuck else they are posting, its absolute garbage.

>>1033841 Nice try, Kohlchan shill.

>>1033843 what do you mean I am a kohlchan shill?

>>1033848 i guess because nobody would talk about another website unless they wanted to draw attention to it; but also its a (1) so theres no guarantee its not someone using reverse psychology

>>1033854 I gave up lurking 8chins in exchange for kohlchan, clearly it was a mistake. It's ogre

I need a distraction. my dog just died Recommend me something to play.

>>1034253 >Ghosts I never really heard anyone talk about Ghosts. Even among the CoD fags I knew. >>1034313 It was open to whatever. I ended up playing some Fable though. >>1034328 Thanks anon.

>>1034239 Metal Gear Rising

Man it fucking sucks I ran out of space of my root partition I allocated I think 70GB to it and now I have only 6GiB of it left, that means I cannot download dev packages that ultimate doom builder needs so that I can see if it will work better if I compile it. Because I had the idea of making a sandbox doom map with textures from pokemon. For some stupid reason ultimate doom builder runs like shit when I run it through wine.

>>1034669 free up a bit of some other partition(bout 30 gigs), i cold be retarded but i think there where tools to make sure a partition's data was "distributed"(can't think of the term) in a certain way, and such it should enable you to move things around such that those 30 gigs are near the root partition, then delink that chunk from that other partition & assign it to the root partition, im sure there are better tutorials out there than me, best of luck devaboo

>>1034669 >>1034721 oh, and before you fiddle back up your shit my guy

>>1034721 I can just do that? Looks like I better buy a USB stick from somewhere then, there is a shoddily run down computer store in my area but that guy for some reason has never enough spare change for money which makes it annoying to buy stuff of him.

Have you guys heard of an unknown Japanese exclusive PS1 RPG called "Tokyo Dungeon"? Why am I asking about this game? Well, the game's lead designers are Roe R. Adams III (Ultima III, Wizardry 1-4, and The Bard's Tale) and Kazutoshi Ueda (Shin Megami Tensei 1-2, Solomon's Key, Dungeon Explorer 1-2), music is composed by Azuma (Panzer Dragoon), and the lead artist is Yasuomi Umeza (Kite, Megazone 23 Part II, Mezzo DSA). How the fuck can the game those those credentials and I cannot find jack shit about it? Hell, the only reason why I know these guys were even involved is because they're directly pictured in the game's manual and I just happened to be curious about why a gaijin was being creditted in a Japanese game.

>>1035353 i dunno, have you tried googling it? i assume its like a lot of japan-only games that nobody knows about, like Linda Cube, which is also a ps1 jrpg, Cookie's Bustle for the PS1, which was also notable for being obscure and unobtainable, or even Neko Neko Bakery, which is some shitty DS game that i dont blame nobody for talking about
