Sweet. Thanks for the tutorial! Widescreen really enhances the sense of speed in WO, and Phantom Edition looks "leagues" better than the emulated original. XP
I'm glad they stopped with their patreon nonsense, to focus on the game. It's smart not to make commitments you can't adhere to, and also not put your work at risk of upsetting the original rights holders.
@AceGrace It appeals to children. YouTube's largest demographic. Google and advertisers have been unusually fortunate so far to avoid stringent regulation from the gov't and parental advocacy/concern groups, so far. It really makes you wonder why.
Hope someone can ask them why we aren't getting the original PS1 english voices. I know they're likely missing a bunch of lines they'd need for the remake, and yes they were cringe even back in the day. Yet they had a certain charm to them.
@jorel262 Better to bump an article to keep all relevant information centralized for reference convenience than to have to keep track of umpteen articles all saying slight variations of the same thing. tl;dr It's easier.
I don't think he likes what people have said about some of the Sonic games he's directed. Which explains his cold, corporate speak regarding Sonic. He comes off defensive and baffled by Sonic Mania, and the consumer's love for 2D Sonic.
Do consumers prefer 3D sonic? Really?
@BionicDodo I question if it really is more expensive and time consuming. If 3D is easier to produce than 2D, then why are the 3D Sonic games some of the buggiest and broken outings of the Blue Blur? Not just janky, unfinished programming, but also wonky plot and pacing.
Doesn't look like he's porting the superior FDS version.
I hope he takes the time to consider how much better the wavetable music is, and how great a OQL feature the save function is, too.

Re: Octopus Arcade Stick Maker Is Tackling MiSTer FPGA Next With The TR Quantum
Housing and touch controls are useless fluff. Put the money toward RE/core research.

Now if only the XL/2097 source would leak next.

I loved my C64, but none of these collections have any of the games I played as a kid.

Cool!
"Hmm, is that it? Can you think of something more to say?"
No, TimeExtension, I just wanted to balance out all the bizarrely rude comments from people who've obviously never written code in their lives. LMAO.

Re: Daytona USA 2 Is Finally Getting A Home Port, Thanks To Like A Dragon Gaiden
@Fighting_Game_Loser I'd pay quintuple for an M2 Sega Ages port of Scud Race.
Re: Metroid Is The Next NES Game Getting A Fanmade SNES Port
Doesn't look like he's porting the superior FDS version.

A list of the differences is available here:

This still looks great though! Loved his TLoZ port!
Re: People Within Microsoft Thought Minecraft Was "Rubbish", Says Peter Molyneux
It sounds believable, but then again Petey has lied so much in the past that I find it hard to take anything he says seriously.
