Holy fuck Muv Luv is getting a western release next week. Does White Day have a western release? Am I still on brand if I don’t buy and play this garbage?

@felix bait from the Chris Kohler article linked in The Obscurity about the French game archivist in Japan:

“You cannot talk about Death Trap if you only have it working on an emulator. That’s not history,” Redon said.

well gee I guess I should shut up about stuff

I mean yes, please work to secure related media but running the game code is 90% of the game

Original hardware is cool, but one day you won’t be able to get replacement parts anymore. Only a really dedicated group will be able to specially commission them, and that’s assuming sufficient documentation exists to recreate specialized microprocessors and such. From a preservative point of view, getting the program data – and related artifacts – into a reproducible form is the highest priority, and I hope the cult of the Original doesn’t get that lost.

I don’t have first-hand knowledge of this scene but I don’t think it’s directly deleterious to sharing data (the article mentions Redon would share his archive but Japanese copyright forbids it, contrasting it to Frank Cifaldi’s more lenient landscape). It notes that Redon is most concerned with making clean master copies from which copies can in the future be made (I assume this is archiving 101).

He just speaks in a very closed-down way that I find funny as long as I’m a continent away.

pathologic lite?

I saw a review of this and the combat was actually deemed good, one of its strengths, so who knows

but man, this game would give me flashbacks to that Kenshin OVA I saw when I was a youngin because when you kill one of the story characters you get to hear their last thoughts as you kill them because their last memory is in their blood. so you get to hear how scared they are and that they regret never having been loved or that their families are better off without them. it’s some heavy stuff

I don’t know why anybody is talking about graphics nonsense or OS evolution or even the bizarre world of hobbyist game preservation, the real news here is that the green cutie on the cover of Zeddas 3/Labyrinthe isn’t just another weird CG-eye-candy NPC you gawk at like those in the first two games, but actually a friendly little imp with amnesia who moves into your user interface and naps there, occasionally looking up to sleepily mutter unhelpful comments about interactive objects

meanwhile Romance of the Total War delayed to next year, boo

That was one of the only big budget games I was looking forward to this year

This is really pretty but knowing the cost of vr equipment just makes me wish we could get a Tetris/Koyaanisqatsi film instead.

In any case this is probably the first VR game thing to make think “oh, I care about that”

That it says “PSVR Mode Included” makes me think it’s optional

Yeah, it supports regular tvs. It supports 4K 60 FPS if you’ve got a PS4 Pro, because only the Pro can handle the full power of Tetris.

I’ll probably get this at some point but I still remember the last time I was sold a bill of goods with THQ’s Tetris on PS3 that claimed it had 5.1 surround sound. I bought that day 1 full price just to see how Tetris could have 5.1 surround sound and as far as I could tell there was no 5.1 surround sound. The 7 player combat tetris was pretty wacky at least.

It got a western release last year I believe. If we’re talking about the same thing.
