ACTION 5 NEWS with Chuck Scarsdale

Paladins was better when treant guy was a melee bruiser whose axe throw could one-shot people because the damage built over distance and you could just yeet it across the map and if it hit someone, they were fucking dead

I know ZeroRanger has been talked up on these forums by a few SBers, if you ever wanted to try the game out but didn’t feel like purchasing it first the dev finally got around to putting up a demo to celebrate its 4th birthday.

I am happy it’s coming out but it looks really terrible.

Given Square’s track record with goofy ass looking remasters, I think I’d rather live in the world we live in where this looks exactly like an uprezzed version of the PS2 game than have them make another pass at it. Not like I’m gonna play this anyway when I have the PS2 version

While the new remaster seems faithful to the PS2 game, the PS2 game itself was a very ugly Square remake (maybe the first?)

I find the grotesque SD style of Minstrel Song to be incredibly endearing.

Feeling bad for all the devs who are doing stadia exclusive releases getting the rug pulled out from under them.

iirc there were like two genuinely interesting technical concepts in Stadia: one was the controller that had its own wifi connection to avoid the latency caused by having to go through bluetooth to to the display-attached system, and the other was being able to embed state in streams of games so that it would be possible to exchange them and drop in like save states. I don’t know if they ever delivered on either of these!

one thing about stadia that was, conversely, obviously not gonna work, was the technical target — it reminded me exactly of the original run of steam boxes that wound up in a no man’s land in between the PS3 and PS4 generation and figured they could devote a lot of CPU overhead to getting stuff running natively on Linux in a datacenter. I don’t think so fellas!

I still generally like the idea of game streaming ~sometimes~ (eg for ports to aging consoles) but I don’t think a dedicated platform for it, let alone this dedicated platform, was ever gonna work
