@HoyeBoye The constant articles about AI being used makes it pretty clear it's an attack on AI plus...Damien hates AI in video games so it's fairly obvious to read between the lines.
@mariteaux Damien really, really, really doesn't like AI at all in video games. I agree, articles like this are almost calling out the games to get hate. It's almost a form of gatekeeping at this point.
"The MiSTer platform is a little long in the tooth these days, so it's hardly surprising that developers are reaching the limit of its potential."
First I'm hearing of that since everyone still goes on about how good it is compared to typical emulation.
100% accuracy would be ideal however making the games run properly is what is ultimately important. It just depends what those inaccuracies are and whether they ruin the gameplay experience or even improve it.
@James-Bond I never really understood if developers care so much on creating cinema why bother animating cutscenes when you can just do FMV? If you're going to make a movie go the entire way like FMV.
I always found his channel overrated. His research is detailed and in-depth but he covers the same topics that have been covered endlessly by everyone else. Norman will put out a video on Super Mario Kart and then everyone will think this is the first time it's been covered. That channel could have done a lot more interesting stuff.
@X68000 The irony of course is Norman started as a sort of early AVGN copy. Laid back, no nonsense with arms folded and slightly arrogant. Then he stopped making videos for a few years and when he came back he became the more natural "well that's just swell" persona he's been since. 😂
@Banjo- Try to widen your search. There are more channels out there covering more variety of topics. I'd hate to think you think this is as informative as retro gaming content gets.
@Sketcz I had no idea about this. I'm somehow not surprised as my comment above shows his audience believe his topics are new only when he's covered them. It's very frustrating. His sources could easily be put into his videos but then creating an ignorance might be unintentionally beneficial to him I guess? 🤔
@Sketcz Well if you want to add reviews or get achievements it's really the only option and it's not very good. It's worth noting as well not all of GOG's games are DRM free.
I don't think it takes a total genius to see they'll burn through the N64 library pretty quickly when taking into account what Nintendo owns and what are licenced properties that will take money to grab. For PS1 games however they have a good catalogue to work with.

@mariteaux I 100% agree!

That's awesome. A sci-fi setting makes sense as well. 😊
Re: "The Folks In Japan Perceived US Devs As Being Fat Or Spoiled" - How Final Fight Revenge Bloodied An Entire Studio
I'm glad things got better for them. Having seen gameplay from Revenge I'm happy they managed to get something playable out there.
Re: "Almost Completely Re-engineered" - Polymega Gets An Upgrade As 'Remix' Units Complete Mass Production
Makes sense they'd upgrade the tech but I hope existing owners get a discount.

I wish the Spectrum Next wasn't limited in stock.
Re: Random: The Guy Behind The Disasterous 'SuperSega' Is Back, And He Wants To Sell You A Wooden PC
To be fair it's not electronics trying to be something it's not, it's wood but having said that knowing Martin he'll find some way to mess it up. 😆
Re: 'Warhammer Classics' Brings 7 Beloved PC Titles Back From The Dead
I've never been a fan of RTS games but any FPS games I'll happily buy.

Re: Another N64 Launch Title Has Been Decompiled, And It Seems A PC Port Is Already In The Works
N64 games can only look better on PC.

@Zeebor15 "Eurojank"? 🤔
Re: "That Elegance Still Feels Unmatched To Me" - M2 CEO Reveals "Ultimate" Game He'd Love To Work On
I'd be a little more ambitious and port the sequel.
Re: Interview: "You're Always Facing The Risk Of It Coming To An End" - M2 Co., Ltd.'s Naoki Horii On Creating Retro Perfection
@sdelfin Oh that's cool. Atari Games obviously saw the potential.
@KingMike I actually came to like that game via Antstream. Underrated game definitely.
Re: Interview: "You're Always Facing The Risk Of It Coming To An End" - M2 Co., Ltd.'s Naoki Horii On Creating Retro Perfection
I had no idea they ported Gauntlet IV to Mega Drive, that's cool. 👍
Re: Evercade's Next Indie Heroes Collection Announced, With A Shareware Twist
I think I'll just buy it on Steam. Evercade has just been getting weirder by the year.
Re: Move Over, Alex Kidd! Here's Super Mario Bros. On The Sega Master System
@ihaveallthecoins It certainly could. Master System had superior technology.
Re: New 'Hang-On' Patch For The Sega Master System Brings The 8-Bit Racer Closer To The Arcade
Really good work all things considered.
Re: Limited Run Games Announces Widespread Delays, Concedes Delivery Dates Were "Too Aggressive" & "Overly Optimistic"
I really wish they didn't live up to their name. 😪
Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess Is Getting A Native PC Port
@AndyVGR I think it's still up.
Re: The DNA Of Hideo Kojima, Video Gaming's Greatest Auteur
@James-Bond I never really understood if developers care so much on creating cinema why bother animating cutscenes when you can just do FMV? If you're going to make a movie go the entire way like FMV.
Re: "Pond Versus Bond" - James Bond's IP Owner Opposes Trademark For Cult UK Video Game Character
@Guru_Larry Eon owned James Bond but Danjaq was also involved. I'm guessing since Amazon own Bond Danjaq still are involved in their duties.
Re: "Pond Versus Bond" - James Bond's IP Owner Opposes Trademark For Cult UK Video Game Character
@AtomB D'oh, missed it! Honestly though, I don't see what the problem is. One is a fishy parody.

Wait...isn't Danjaq the owners of James Bond? 🤔

Re: One Of The Sega Genesis's Worst-Reviewed RPGs Is Making A Comeback On Modern Consoles
@KingMike We had a very good amount actually.
Re: Double Dragon Creator Yoshihisa Kishimoto Has Passed Away
@MontyCircus Not quite but close.
Re: The DNA Of Hideo Kojima, Video Gaming's Greatest Auteur
@James-Bond Yeah, the main complaint seems to be he favours making movies over video games.
Re: More Classic Capcom Titles Have Arrived On Steam, But, Of Course, There's A Catch
@Sketcz And mods. Steam is terrific for offering mods and guides.
@Right_Said_Brett I probably got confused because reviews through Galaxy end up on GOG. Thanks for that clarification.
Re: More Classic Capcom Titles Have Arrived On Steam, But, Of Course, There's A Catch
@Sketcz Well if you want to add reviews or get achievements it's really the only option and it's not very good. It's worth noting as well not all of GOG's games are DRM free.
Re: More Classic Capcom Titles Have Arrived On Steam, But, Of Course, There's A Catch
@Sketcz GOG is incredibly faulty when it comes to Galaxy and achievements. Steam is a lot more stable.
Re: Evercade Nexus Has A Better Screen, Dual Analog, Banjo, And Nintendo's Most Consumer-Friendly Feature
I don't think it takes a total genius to see they'll burn through the N64 library pretty quickly when taking into account what Nintendo owns and what are licenced properties that will take money to grab. For PS1 games however they have a good catalogue to work with.
Also, they need to sort out their Discord. 🤔
Re: The Making Of: The Wizard - "I Couldn't Get A Job For 7 Months After That" - An Oral History Of Nintendo's Hollywood Debut

If I could play my UMDs on it that would be cool.
Re: Feature: It's Tough Out There, So Check Out These Amazing Websites
The ones I recognise here are pretty good. The Retro Hour Podcast are nice people.
@PopetheRev28 Ooooo cheeky. 😂
@Hexapus I agree with most of these choices but not Rose Tinted Spectrum. I find his whole channel annoying.
Re: This N64 Flash Cart Has A Built-In Screen That Shows Which Game Is Running
April Fools right?
Re: Learning From The End Of i-mode, The "Life Infrastructure" That Revolutionised Japanese 'Keitai' Gaming
@romanista Awesome.
Re: New Analogue 3D Update Is Great News For People Who Use N64 Flash Carts
@N64-ROX Are we not allowed to talk about it I wonder? 🤔
Re: "My Way Of Giving Back" - Final Fight MD Is Going Open-Source
@PinballBuzzbro Learn how to port a game? That doesn't make sense, he created a game from scratch. 🤔
Re: This Game Boy Cart Uses ChatGPT To Create "Personalised Scenarios Tailored To Each Player"
Sustainability is the issue, the idea is frankly awesome! 👍
Re: This Classic Konami Racing Game Just Got A New Lease On Life, Thanks To The Sega Master System
@DanijoEX It was always awesome. Ignorance is mostly because of the NES.
Re: Learning From The End Of i-mode, The "Life Infrastructure" That Revolutionised Japanese 'Keitai' Gaming
Please someone save those games, especially Final Fantasy's.
Re: New Analogue 3D Update Is Great News For People Who Use N64 Flash Carts
