Crazy to me that right now the best way to play both Gothic games is on Switch.

Will modern fixes and controls come to PC?

PC because of more stable framerates and shorter load times compared to PS4 version

Romancing SaGa 2,3 are definitive SNES “faithful remakes”. Sprites actually feel in-place with backgrounds.

Beats FF Pixel Remaster remakes.

Pretty much the most comprehensive Wizardry video.
Covers influence, Wiz 1,2,3, the funny manuals and most infamous RPG Wiz 4.

Loved the fact that all the humor from Western Wizardry was lost in translation to Japanese, so JPN Wizardry games are very grimdark.

I don’t see Death Stranding (and DS Director’s Cut) listed for DualShock 4. Just DualSense.

Both DS, DSDC use PS4 controller pretty well, including light changes.

Will there be community support to make suggestions if game has PS4,PS5 controller compatibility?

Shared this over the other thread about GabeN’s quote

That usenet guy attributing quote to Miyamoto has the same troll quote energy as “Don’t believe everything on internet” by Abraham Lincoln

People have tried to uncover who quoted that line. This one is pretty good so far.

Earliest trace (of quoting to Miyamoto) went to a usenet post in 2003, but prior mentions attribute to western developers like Troika, Rare Inc, GT Interactive. Author traced it back to a GDC which attribute the quote to their SO who worked in Origin Systems (Ultima, System Shock, Wing Commander)

Great read

Artepiazza are just masters of SNES remakes.

• Dragon Quest IV-VII were wonderfully remade while preserving the original essence (in case of VII, much needed streamlining)

• Romancing SaGa 2, 3 feel like ‘how you remember playing them on SNES’. Beats FF Pixel Remaster IMO.

Inkle always makes something interesting.

Their games have been solely narrative based, this seems to have more platforming to it.

Wow, someone making new game for MSX, that ancient PC system? That’s like developing for DOS.

Also, its nice seeing so many indie devs. I looked up profile of a few and they don’t seem to be more than handful of people.

Nightdive did an amazing job with modernizing it, to me its the level of Resident Evil 2/3/4 reimaginings.

Of course, since its not as popular, they didn’t receive that much discourse/hype.

Embracer stack of cards is falling, Free Radical being next in line.

Says, employees had already started to post they were looking for opportunities. It’s brutal and sad.

The fact that we got two Indian inspired games this year (other one being Venba), makes me very very happy.

To think we used to crave for any game using India setting (or mythology use)

Amount of supervision needed and variables to be controlled for a Smash Bros game is gigantic.

Only someone with work ethic as rigorous as Sakurai-san can tackle such project.

Funny seeing this just after reading about Bungie layoffs.

More layoffs means less retention of talent and knowledge, less mentorship for younger devs, leading to safe ideas and worse games over years.

1. I hope FROMSOFT stay on their “one (maybe two) game at a time, mantra”

2. Really hope they make a non-RPG game like Sekiro. I always feel these guys are brimming with ideas.
