In the US, there is no legal requirement for refunds of digital goods. Sony started offering refunds after tons of pressure from consumers and the media. There are legal requirements in countries that actually give a fuck about consumer rights, but not here.
If you're already familiar with the story of FF7, just read a summery of Crisis Core's plot. Reunion is significantly better than the PSP original, but it's mostly a core gameplay improvement. I don't think it's worth playing if you're going in purely for the story If you have never played the...
Unless they’ve massively expanded recently, Nixxes only has around 55 employees. That’s not enough to handle more than a couple big projects at once. So unless we’re getting more Iron Galaxy and internally handled ports I doubt we will see games release that quickly. I’d be happy to be wrong...
I really hope Rebirth hits PC this year. The game desperately needs a PC release.
As for Tsushima, I’d love a PC release. The game still looks gorgeous on the PS4 and 5 but a PC version will be even better.
Billionaire douchebag sues other billionaire douchebags. Pity there’s no resolution that results in all of them losing billions. Regardless, I actually agree with Musk here. OpenAI should remain totally open source. I’d argue that ALL major AI tech should be open source. There’s enough dangers...
I’d imagine it’s a very time consuming process for modern games as well. When character models were made out of polys that only numbered in the dozens or few hundreds it would be a simple matter to make new assets for damage or dismemberment. You could also get away with just painting lines on a...
That was fast. Generally, Nexus doesn't have a problem with suggestive content or outright nude mods (in fact, there are several for Remake on the site) so it seems like this one is a specific exception.
Apparently, the new line is closer to what was said in Japanese. Also seems to line up more with stuff she said in Crisis Core. The original sounds a bit more natural to me, but the new one does fit a bit better with her character.
You're complaining that you can't look down the shirt of a child dude, that's not an easy argument to win. There's a lot of things teenagers do that you wouldn't be able to get away with casually portraying in media.
While the change looks incredibly lazy and it no doubt has to do with the scene being different in Rebirth, I really do feel the need to point out that Tifa is 15 during that point in the game. I'd imagine her being a child had a lot to do with the devs decision to change her attire.
You are incredibly naive if you think they couldn't already do that level of data collection without consumer-facing features. Also, you're already on the internet mate. Might as well just assume every single thing you're doing on your computer is already being track every second you have an...
Gotham Knights was WB Montreal, who also had an exodus of employees over the last handful of years.
As for Rocksteady personal: Both founders left to start a new studio. The original claim was that they left after Suicide Squad was mostly complete, but given the extremely long delays and...
A company releasing several pieces of software to do something that can be done with a single application is both stupid and a massive waste of everyone's time and hard drive space. Even having two applications for essentially the same thing (accessing built in GPU features) is annoying as hell...
Maybe this summer during all the Summer Games Fest stuff? Assuming it's coming out this year/early next year that seems like a decent time to drop more information. If we're not getting it any time soon then we might not hear much until next year.
The consumer drivers are quite literally called "Game Ready" drivers. For the most part, they're geared towards gamers. Gamers are going to be a large portion of the consumer market that bothers regularly updating their drivers and taking advantage of all the consumer tech the cards have to...
The price is utterly ridiculous. If they were remastering the games, adding new content, or something like that I could understand but just for bundling them together? Hell no. This should be, at most, $15-$20 and even that is stretching it. Watch them pull the originals from sale before this...
This is likely the same stuff they’ve been showing off in gameplay demonstrations and had content creators and the press play last month. So if anything was made specifically for that demonstration it would be included in this. It’s also possible that it’s just stuff pulled from later in the...
They're technically classified as a manufacturer, but that's a pretty broad term when talking consumer electronics. Pretty sure all the assembly work is done by ODMs.
They're one of the largest TV manufacturers in the world, a lot of people buy their stuff. TCL and Hisense (along with a few other brands like Skyworth) ate a lot of their market, but Vizio still makes "good enough" sets in most of their price ranges.
Samsung continues to, stubbornly, refuse to support Dolby Vision. They still claim that HDR10+ is better. As KevinG said, Dolby Vision has clearly won the HDR war. Samsung is only going to end up hurting themselves if they don’t pull their heads out of their asses and actually support the...
Yep. Ubisoft is suffering from a lot of management issues. Yves needs to go, likely along with the rest of the board and several of their studio heads. The company is in desperate need of some housekeeping and reorganizing.
It’s a bit dumb as I don’t even think there is anything in all three games that people would get mad at or care about. That said, god damn some people are getting way too worked up over this nothing of an issue. CD, Aspyr, and (likely) Embracer are covering their asses in weak attempt to...
AoD would need a complete, ground up, remake. No matter how much you polish a turd, it’s still a turd. I would have loved to see where they were originally planning to go with that trilogy(?) though.
Here is a review from a guy that is a big fan of the originals and has been doing a lot of deep dives into the series.

It looks like they added a lot more to it. What they showed off during the latest presentation looks like they took the rhythm mini-game from the Honey Bee Inn in Remake and applied that to the marching bit. Should make it a lot more interesting.
If they cut any of these things out they would...
Yeah, like most of FF7, the mini-games in the original have not aged well. They just don’t feel a good. Remakes of them with better controls and all that will hopefully bring back that same fun feeling as we had back when they were new.
They did a pretty good job with the bike stuff in Remake...
YouTube compression killing the look of games has been a problem for a while. I remember Total Biscuit talking about it back when Far Cry Primal came out. YT has increased their bitrate quite a bit since then, but it’s still not enough to prevent it from causing games to look much worse than...
That happens when you cause mass burn out and have bad practices that causes founders and other experienced devs to leave and form their own companies. I’m sure there are plenty of talented people working at these studios, but they’re not provided and environment that encourages them to grow and...
It’s greed from the top. Like most (though, definitely, not all) things in this country, it’s mostly the fault of the rich fucks that only care about getting that one extra penny no matter who it hurts.
It's not exclusive at all. It's already been announced that it's coming to Xbox and PC, along with the PS5. The only reason that trailer doesn't mention other platforms is because it was shown off during a Sony State of Play stream.
The story, character writing, and general world design made the original so good despite its many, many, many shortcomings. Hopefully the same can be said of the sequel, but I’m not going to hold my breath.
When you have two different teams localizing the same material (assuming there aren't any changes made to the dialog in the Japanese release) you're going to end up with a lot of different results. If the source material had any radical changes then it's also going to reflect on the...
I swear WB has to be one of the dumbest publishers in the industry. They do so much stupid shit on a consistent basis that these issues do not surprise me at all. They’re up there with SquareEnix in terms of just pure casual stupidity and obstinate refusal to learn from their mistakes.
Basically every single UE game made for the last couple years has used PhysX. Several Unity games as well. It's built into both engines, along with some others.
While I don’t enjoy the story in this as much as the original, I hope it’s a good port. I might be tempted to double-dip (once it’s on sale) to give it another shot.
