Once a truly reliable x86 translation layer is figured out Intel’s days are numbered, my mate just got a Surface pro ARM and the PRISM emulator mostly works, but it has all sorts of trouble with anything that hooks deep into Windows like VPNs and Anticheat software. The battery literally lasts all day though, sometimes more even with heavy usage which is kind of amazing.
It’s so goddamn easy to set up a basic forum site for a few bucks a month, and it’s not like there aren’t hundreds of options for file sharing as well.
The Xbox and PSP modding forums were where I used to hang out before Reddit, a well-designed and run forum is so much better than trying to basically make a website out of a chat room.
Scott is doing the lords work here, I really hope a precedent is set that games must be made available either via official support or by releasing the server files once official support is ended.
Plenty of ‘dead’ games that I can still play with friends because the devs made it freely accessible once support was over. (Halo CE’s GameSpy patch as an example). We will figure it out, just give us the files!
Yeah it used to be the big one, all the developers and big brands would come together all at once with big reveals and showcases, ESA itself is also partly to blame as the prices for booths started getting stupid in the latter years and smaller indie devs got priced out, and started doing their own reveals and showcases.
Once the big guns like Sony and Nintendo left to do their own thing it was pretty much doomed. The whole point was that everyone came together at once for a big expo, and you would get a big dump of new stuff to look forward to.

I just can’t stop crashing cars into things in slow motion.
