When we were trying to come up with the most plausibly Japanese names for what would become Galak-Z and trying every mishmash of names (Axelios was another I remember, or something with the crew members A-Tak, Beam, Crash (named for the Megadrive controller)) we did a search to see if anyone had made that pun. No, nothing, just a Little Big Planet level called ‘Galakz’.
Ok so we announce at Sony’s E3 conference when they put indies on stage and after Jake frees the controller cord from giving him two feet of play and making him crouch on the biggest stage he’ll ever get our ten seconds are over and an infinitesimal portion of the world knows about us.
And the creator of Galakz has posted an identical takedown threat-rant on a dozen forums. We reached out to him and when he got to talk to us he said, oh, I didn’t realize it was real people, no hard feelings
armored core 4 & for answer. if you only want to play one of them just read a plot summary for 4, FA is the better of the two. great mech combat + building & it’s hidetaka miyazaki applying his sensibilities to big robots. trade the bleak castles of demons souls for PMCs with great graphic design fighting over a nightmare world that’s been resource extracted to lifelessness
Datura is… well if I had to rank every game I’ve played on the PS3 I’d probably put it in last place. It’s I think less than an hour long and has a couple of moments so dumb that it is almost impressive but generally it is a poorly controlling slog of an art game that isn’t smart or arty at all.
honestly the PSP is incredibly easy to emulate (due to a combination of early ARM architectures being really recompiler-friendly and the graphics APIs being modern and well-documented and not very complicated, like OpenGL 1.x stuff, it’s almost like some kind of reference platform), the PS3 having a PSP emulator “built in” hardly seems any more interesting than any other platform needing root in order to run one
maybe I am missing something in a very me way though
I mean, if you have to get root anyway … then you could just compile a PSP emulator for it … so if it’s not a publicly accessible feature in the first place …
felix it is simple we could have all been playing war of the lions you know the superior version of everyone’s favorite game on it this whole time don’t you see
