Saturn Makes, The World [Takes] cool little Trenton, NJ reference

fit check: immaculate

It's refreshing to step in a room like this in a game that isn't trying to red scare you

just hanginaround on the subversive side of town

Played the Spectra demo. These environments are incredible

My only screenshots are this wall and a zombie’s ass

This whole stretch of the game looks like shit and then you ride the shenmue motorcycle through a turret sequence

environmental storytelling is my passion

By treating the past with reverence, Resident Evil Requiem loses its profane bite Resident Evil Requiem treats its past with too much reverence, undermining the mystery and blasphemy so crucial to great horror.

Wrote a bit about Resident Evil Requiem and how it's part of a long-term horror trend of reboots and re-visitations which are more nostalgic than terrifying.

I hope the successor to Amnesia The Bunker will be the game that finally pushes Capcom to go full immersive sim with RE10

Yeah the chainsaw fight was really good. I had one zombie being dragged around on the floor and it was hilarious. I tried to recreate it on a different file and it didn’t happen, some truly emergent physics stuff going on there which was nice to see

I don’t get why it had to be two games in one. The Leon stuff feels like fan servicey bullshit and a downgrade from RE4r. Would much rather play the entire game as Grace with fewer set pieces and a greater emphasis on stealth. Just keep this care center expanding, it’s so good.

Liking RE9 a lot but it predictably dips in quality after the first big puzzlemansion. That’s kind of what all these games do so I can’t be too mad at it.

The Pentagram from killer7

Suda was so fucking real for this

Master. We’re in a tight spot! A reeeaally tight spot. Execute operation Epicsauce Bloodfeast. In the name of Holden…

It’s a game I’ve started a few times over the years and never got all the way through, this time I really took to it. Playing this at 11 would either end in bewilderment or permanently alter your brain chemistry

Finished killer7 a few days ago and now I'm presented with the impossible burden of trying to find a game that hits even remotely the same

You can play killer7 on pc with a gamecube controller and no one is stopping you

These execs sit around all day asking chatbots to make decisions for them, so you’re not far off

How the fuck is Bluepoint shutting down? This is ridiculous

You truly need to jack in to The Contraption to play these virtual boy nso roms. It’s kind of amazing, laying down with a cardboard box on your head, using your discarded flesh to interface with an entirely new realm—a sort of Virtual reality if you will. I might not come out next time.

Ok the cardboard virtual boy kind of rules. By god they pulled it off

From ROMEO Art Director Kunihiko Taniwaki:

"Can you imagine how utterly insane it is to melt a dummy head's face with a flamethrower in a sweltering, humid, air-conditioner-less warehouse studio in the middle of summer in Japan? Special effects by Tomo Hyakutake, DP & compositing by Takuma Araki."

Many of these dime-a-dozen 9/10s are secretly worse than the rare 7/10 masterpiece. So much of what comprises a Good videogame really just checks certain boxes that reinforce widely accepted design practices. Games that are willing to play outside those bounds can be much more worthwhile.

You gotta play SotN. I can't believe that one still isn't on Switch.

I can't wait man. Seeing it on Tuesday with a buddy who is going in blind. I only really knew of these guys from that Wii Shop Wednesday vid, but I've recently started watching the show and it's good stuff.

the art of standing normally

I unlocked the concept of standing normally in Romeo is a Dead Man. This game rules.

screen I have been seeing a lot because I selected "orange chocolate" difficulty

Romeo is a Dead Man - pretty good ‘nother one of these. Always refreshing to play a game where it feels like anything can happen at any time. I would like for Grasshopper Manufacture to not be dissolved as a studio please

This is how I’m gonna post about re4 from now on.

Meanwhile, juvenile newgrounds cat game is taking off. Things have a way of achieving balance

I think the trait stuff is handled pretty well and even undercuts the premise of "negative" traits. People are coming out of the woodwork today to find a discourse angle. Most of what I'm seeing is in regards to the title - "erm that name is not ok yall"
Very cringe, but that's this website for you

All videogame adaptations should just be Decker

UE5 moment. I hear the steam deck performance is rough too.
