slider1983

@somnambulance It feels too much like a witch hunt and I hate that type of behaviour.

@Damo "energy demands and environmental impact have become an issue."

If you want to take down AI generation be my guest however the genie is out of the bottle, it's not going back in. What we can do is regulation so we're not abusing it. THAT I do support.

"I'm not sure you even understand what you're saying, or if you know enough about how generative AI works."

Pretty sure I do. Content farming and correlating is no different to AI taking from different sources. It's also been said before here that tracing art is pretty much the same as AI copying it. Again, what we can do is regulate where AI is taking inspiration from to make sure original creators aren't having work stolen.

@Right_Said_Brett But you don't understand what talent is. Your high horse is a mountain of jumped up ignorance. 😆

@AzzurraIrisLeaMonde My point is most people in the world ruin it somehow. We can mitigate the damage through our actions but saying AI damages the environment is like saying using petrol for machinery is bad for us. It's useful depending how we use it.

"I don't have a server."

Also, using your accounts online is using a server. It's not your server sure, but you still use it.

@Unbolted The genie is out of the bottle. Regulation is our only hope. Trying to shut it out won't do anything. If Damien can launch a scale war on generative AI and remove it from the Internet I'd also be fine with that.

@Unbolted There's a lot of great uses for AI as long as it doesn't steal. My issue is the knee jerk reaction and doom mongering about it in the form of attack articles.

I show how clever AI is in remastering old shows if handled correctly and people go crazy because it's AI. It's not only moronic, it's not helpful in finding a better solution. 🙄

Okay so what did he say that was wrong? 🤔

@MARl0 Your responses amount to "I like how the AI bros are here defending..." At least they put some intelligence into their responses and aren't parroting.

@TV4Fun Great response. I'm reminded of Tron missing out on an Oscar because the Academy thought using CGI was cheating. That's this article all over again. 😂

@Dustybin1 I liken these articles to bullying at this point. I think a lot of people here are sick of them. I feel like I'm losing my will to live with these bullying attack articles.

@AzzurraIrisLeaMonde So is toxic fumes from cars, so is smoking, so is using servers to run data.

Important questions do need asking such as whether people should buy it and whether TE should be covering Mod Retro's products. Let's have some consistency. 👍

Great article. It's amazing from Metal Slug they made so many sequels and they all played the same. It's one of the few video game IPs to have a consistent look through its many sequels.

For the love of God someone give Sally Shining Force to play. 🙄

I'm actually holding out for Commodore to get the Amiga rights back. 🤔

A complete collection of the games would be great so let's see what happens.

Yeah, makes sense to use a Japanese team to rewrite an English script for an English audience... 🤦‍♂️

A Saturn version is awesome news, a shame it's expensive.

Steam release when?

@-wc- I love the Ricochet games. I wish those got a re-release.

@-wc- It coincided with the decline, not solely because of the lack of women on covers. The magazines in general started to become boring.

@-wc- I remember PC Format used to have a female on their cover until around 2005. I think it's after we saw the decline of the magazine until it was cancelled.

@Quick_Man In another universe sure.

@Quick_Man But you cannot ignore the fact that things have changed and society has got more woke.

@-wc- "we "lost" it because roughly 50% of the gaming population is female, where it was a sweaty, undersexed boys club in the 1990s."

I mean that isn't fair. That stereotypes gamers in the 90's while ignores the fact there were women back then who played video games.

@Sketcz The cat is out of the bag. Casual gamers will most likely fall for this and think it's real. But then...they probably think there was a gaming crash in 1983 worldwide. Again this is to promote nostalgia and the link which Damien deleted is a comparison of what gaming magazines would be like now compared to back then in extremes.

@Exerion76 There were a few video game covers and ads that got people into trouble even back then.

@Quick_Man That's not drivel, that's fact. So what's your point?

@-wc- These woke people I see online are beyond pathetic. See how it works? What a weird take and stereotyping of 90's gamers.🤔

@Damo Of course there's going to be people who think those are real but if we're talking about ignorance there's also people who are unaware the Master System exists so those are the kinds of people who are going to think those AI ads are real. 🤷‍♂️

@Damo I thought they were pretty funny. A great comparison to what we get now. But yeah they are to promote nostalgia, that's obviously clear.

That looks pretty cool.

A collection of the games would be nice.

@NUBiness I appreciate Marvel being faithful to their own canon so much.

File this under "I don't care". It ported the game, it didn't handle the creative side. The backbone is done, now people can perfect it.

@Peteykins If 40 pages per book it's not going to be too costly and needing an extended amount of effort.

@ojisan That's what I mean. A lot of promises without any elaborating.

Most likely PC Engine or Jaguar.

@Reko @BLAZINOAH No way are they doing Mega Drive. Sega would have to have personal involvement and so far they haven't budged a bit on publishing old hardware.

AI or real it was very generic but then a lot of what Sega promise sounds generic without details that make sense.

"and my pick for the best Aliens game (assuming we’re saying Isolation is the best Alien game)."

Not all of us. I find is very overrated. Colonial Marines gets lots of flak but that's more because of the AI. The game is pretty enjoyable anyway.

Yeah because Mega Man isn't fiddly enough on an NES. 🙄

I actually don't see the point of this.

I actually don't see the point of this.

@X68000 Since TE is happy covering the Neo Geo I think they'll at some point mention this.

@joey302 They collaborated with WB on Blood Fresh Supply so it's not impossible.

@Johnny_Arthur Good point.

Those puppets wouldn't last forever. Reminds me what happened to the original movies TMNT animatronic suits.

A remaster would be cool but people would love a sequel as well.

@Johnny_Arthur Rare is still around.

So this would have been like an off shoot of Carmageddon then... 😂

Now if can just get the rights to Amiga. 🤔

I agree it's a shame most of their games were exclusive to Nintendo.

@Poodlestargenerica I got that reference! 😂

It's great they're covering these games but I also think it's important to cover the more obscure games released for the Amiga.

I think there's room for both or maybe they need a bigger company.

I had a feeling it would happen pretty quickly.

I mean he's one to talk! 😂

Always nice to see emulation improved in retro gaming.
