Everything was under delivered since the early 90s by Peter. I think het just gets off from the attention. Considering most of the projects were a financial success nonetheless, he probably saw this as a reason to keep doing it.

This really bit him in the end though with godus. A failed god game where he went to kickstarter for money. I guess releasing an under promised game when you ask for money before making it, promising all sorts of things and never delivering it is not really good PR.


Obvious bait is obvious. But sbc gaming is really awesome, just not the subject in this context.

If it runs fine on an SD card, it also runs fine on a HDD. You don’t need to compare it to an SSD.


I wouldn’t call Halo and Destiny competing. They are vastly different. The only thing they have in common is that they’re both FPSes.


But then you miss out on the residuals from the already released stuff


I agree. But these days having an IP prints money. Especially an IP as popular as minecraft, fallout, elder scrolls, call of duty, warcraft, Diablo and doom.


Duke nukem forever didn’t tarnish the older games IMO. Because the games barely have any story to begin with, they are mostly ranked for their gameplay, which is still awesome to this day. At least for 2 and 3d.

Duke1 is nothing too special. But Duke1 wasn’t even too special at time of release.


TL;DW: Mario blinks at a set interval even after level loads to prove legendary Japanese speedrunner of old, who even had a timing sequence named after him, of cheating by splicing. Even in the run that gave him his fame.

Quite interesting video showing different ways people can prove a run is spliced.


Nintendo is on their way of becoming one of the worst companies of the year for the fans. Fucking hell…


I know. Hence my comment. I’m saying he’s smart for not saying anything.


It’s not alien, but not everyone can afford not feeding their kids.


I never said that. But it’s smart of him to not say anything. Unless you want to have less of a future job-wise


If you can’t say something nice, say nothing at all. But also it wouldn’t be smart to bash your former employer if you want to keep working in the field. Especially an employer with a habit of buying up the competition.


The tweets say he’s not working with Capcom. So where did they get this information from? Because it’s not in this article.


He couldn’t get it working on his steam deck. I wish he would have told that at the beginning of the video. It would have saved me watching the rest.

I won’t buy it.


This all pretty much a bad idea. The garden is the best, but sticking pc cases as shelving? That’s asking for falling “shelves”

The barbecue is the worst offender. With the plastic and paint this is asking for an extra dose of cancer in your food. Cancer smoked meat… yum…


I am aware it’s different. All I’m trying to say is either make it single player, release dedicated server software or keep supporting it. You sold it as a product. Don’t remove access to a product.


For the future maybe. For games that were sold one day, they would have to either keep supporting it, or release server software.

It is up to the gamers to keep supporting this practice in the future.

I can still play Unreal Tournament '99 and 2004 even though the servers are offline. I can even still play it online with the server ip and even use the server browser with fan mods.

You can’t say the same for the crew when it goes offline.


For DOS Gaming this could be useful. Sometimes the weirdest keybinds gets used


Post by user:

Capcom has implemented your product on their back catalogue of games and it’s causing performance drops, crashes and has broken many popular mods people use to make these games run better.

The PC community is very angry and has noticed the implementation of your product. It is being mentioned in a ton of negative steam reviews.

You should be aware that there is likely a huge negative PR storm coming your way and possibly offer Capcom advice on how to implement your product properly as you’ve angered a lot of people. It wouldn’t surprise me if big PC YouTubers like Digital Foundry pick up on the issue and make their many subscribers aware.

Reply by developer:

Curious, what action do you need from us? And why do you blame us that someone use our software? Someone use, we do not push to use it. What is our guilt you think?

And why are you so sure that all that you reported belongs to our software?

Maybe you are so angered because you can’t use the cheats anymore?

Best reply is always be a dick. Fuck corporations that act like this

Edit: it seems like the thread is deleted now.


Alright. I misunderstood. Might have to give prodeus a whirl then. Thanks!


Are you implying doom is not palatable? It’s a matter of taste, but of all the old FPS games, Doom is one of the most replayable in my opinion. Even without nostalgia goggles. The gameplay is tight, the weapons are timeless. The only thing that dates it other than the obvious graphics, is the level design can be a little tedious.


Any “boomer shooter” is a callback to the 90 early 00s shooters. For example: Dusk, Postal: Braindead and Warhammer 40k: Boltgun

Lots of indie horror games have the early 3d era look to them.

Basically if you want visuals like this, the indie scene is where you should look


Looking at all the instagram/tik tok like sections in the trailer, and the twerking, our hopes are probably futile.


Never heard of them. But if you want to play old dos/win3x era games, you might want to give http://retro-exo.com a shot. ExoDOS v6 recently released, and there is a lite version. They attempt to archive all DOS games (or win3x games for exoWin3x) it might also have most games you’re looking for.


I hope this one also gets ported to pc. I loved the first one.


Loved Ion Fury. Can’t wait for this!


I expected you to be wrong, but holy hell this is bad.



And I thought I was pushing it by including Condition Zero


Still funny that valve still can’t count past 2 even though this is the 5th installment


So pressing unfinished games on disks is fine for you? They should release a finished game. What if the console shop or server goes offline? How can you play it then? For preservation, day one patches are a nightmare.

I’m glad to see the trend of releasing more games for pc beside their console counterpart rising. It makes preservation easier.


Day one patch means they released an unfinished game. They haven’t done enough testing before physical production. Also fucks over the people with a slow connection.

A patch 1 year after release is fine. Some people found a rare bug which can be fixed. If the game gets patches 1 year or longer after release tells me the developers have love for their game and/or community for fixing it long after they had any obligation to.


It’s not about the type of game. The new standard should be about releasing a finished game. Not a buggy mess with day one patches.


Why even call it autumn sale if it ends 2 weeks before autumn even begins? I always appreciate a sale though.


Oh god. I must have had 2000 hours logged on jedi academy with xfire. Brings back memories.



It’s basically the same game just with modern controller support and HD graphics. It looks better. The 3d FMVs look less dated.

Edit: I had Full Throttle in my head. But mostly the same pretty much applies to Gim Fandango. And they made the tank controls optional. It plays like an actual point and click now.
