Mixtape was basically a fancy visual novel. I think visual novels as a concept are fine or cinematic storytelling in a game format (FMV style choice games using actual video or rendered stuff), but you need to be honest in your presentation or marketing of what it is. Mixtape tried to include...

There are really only 2 explanations 1) they hire shitty artists and model makers, then hide it as a “stylistic choice” 2) It is done intentionally While #1 is an easy lever to pull as an excuse, that is frequently betrayed by other work in the game. Like that Mongolian fire demon dude...

It’s almost like the company that owns Barbie also owns He-Man!

Universe haa few problems 1) They leaned too hard into the gritty serious sci-fi, in part because I think they were trying to attract the BSG fanbase (which had just recently ended) 2) Not many likable characters or characters lacking a strong personality. See point #1, but I think in their...

The sweet spot they all hope for is the guys in their 40s who have their own kids now bring them to watch this and it creates a new younger fanbase

Lower Decks got better after the first season, honest! The DS9 themed episodes were fun too, like the one where Rom as Grand Nagus and Lieta enter into negotiations with Starfleet

Maybe they liked Lower Decks and thought "What if Boimler was a cube?"

I mean really that is all they have to do. Give it good graphics, fix the old jank so it feels smooth, some updated FMV, and you're golden.

I think the original pitch was the SG program gets disclosed on Earth, so you have to deal with political and societal ramifications of that and you'd have a new SG team doing stuff. It wouldn't delete the prior stuff, but would sort of provide a new angle because you'd have people unfamiliar...

PVP probably ruined it - they even confirmed like 80-90% of the playerbase just PVE'd I think in my guild alone, 2 of my guildies were probably responsible for making 60% of our server quit after griefing them in DD lol Last night I decided to go solo into DD in my carrier (had crawler in...

https://duneawakening.com/news/console-date-and-single-player-announced/ Beyond the console and single player thing, they also announced something that sounds like you can just move your character everytime you play? Not sure how that works short of a massive overhaul to game systems - would...

My concern is Amazon wants a full reboot with no background in the shows required

Based GabeN

End of the day it comes down to 1) What dev house handles this? 2) Is it the same game with better graphics, or do they “update for a modern audience”, which is the mother of loaded statements since it goes anywhere from “this old mechanic sucks, let’s give it some modern polish” to “we are...

90s sort of felt like the last time anthology horror/sci-fi shows were good. Outer Limits on Showtime and Tales from the Crypt on HBO come to mind immediately. Black Mirror can be hit or miss, but I suppose it is the closest modern contender.

Not sure if it is still up, but there was a emulated server for SWG up semi-recently (although it was post-Jedi patch I believe)

Those Backrooms numbers are insane considering the original budget. Same for Obsession Hollywood probably hasn’t seen that level of ROI since Blair Witch Project lol

90s Outer Limits was awesome - probably the best anthology series since the original Twilight Zone The 90s episode you’re thinking of was a remake of an original Outer Limits episode from the 60s. Basically same plot at its core: aliens use them as a test case for a new slave race and they...

Because you guys don’t understand capitalism: you target markets that studies show have increased earnings potential or may be a profitable audience for your product and hope it translates into profits

Land of the Lost meets that Outer Limits episode where a neighborhood gets transported by aliens? Seems like it could be fun

I read some article years back about the anthropologist that was studying these online mythologies coming about because he thought it offered some insight into how humans probably created mythologies in general going back thousands of years: a sort of loose collaborative process that evolves...

Usually it’s the dog scene that gets people to tap out

Han Solo dying probably had more to do with Ford wanting that lol

Fallout probably would have been a footnote in history had Bethesda not changed it to a FPS style RPG. There’s a reason isometric RPGs died out: gamers were sick of them because they felt dated and wanted more 3D to show off the power of their video card they just bought. Don’t confuse...

I thought the Space Beth thing was fine because Beth was the last Smith family character without any decent hook to them in the show and I thought the introduction of that was a good way to mix things up and make the character more than a 5th wheel.

His animated stuff has always been well received and most of the newer Star Wars fans are kids who cut their teeth on the Clone Wars cartoon because the new trilogy failed in terms of bringing in new people. I read that this movie won't be presented as a movie on D+ and rather it will be cut...

Ya, Nicholas Cage was just his stage name. Now it's his actual name. Kind of a clickbait article

That is exactly what happens - people ignore warning signs or think it is something mild, until it isn't. Especially if you have compounding factors that can make it worse. The younger you are, the more likely this is to be the case as well. "Young people aren't supposed to die from X" is...

S6 will probably build on the Titan discovery - finding life on Titan makes finding life elsewhere in the galaxy a priority, they find some planet around Alpha Centauri or whatever, they learn some cryogenic preservation technology as a result of studying the cyro life on Titan, then S6 ends...

I think it can be mostly summed up as they didn't strike when the iron was hot. If this had been released after S2, it probably would have done way better. But they had the season long break because of Boba Fett which was very uneven, then they had the mediocre 3rd season of Mando.

That was mostly a product of syndication and lower budget expectations for TV shows. More episodes = more profit on syndication. HBO's "golden age" then showed the sorts of TV shows you could put on - more cinematic, higher production, etc. Higher budget expectation per episode means less...

I got it for free a long time back (it was some Fallout 76 purchase perk when the game first came out), but have never loaded it up before

There is cinematic parts but the game has plenty of action and using the environment. The pacing is similar to a Bond movie in that you have some quiet/less action oriented moments between major set pieces, but shit gets more intense towards the end. He also bangs lots of hot chicks in the...

I think they have more or less confirmed that in the past since they use the same engine

More like Uncharted/Tomb Raider. It does give you some flexibility in terms of stealth vs. going John Wick - you can be more action style, although some areas are a bit harder because you'll be facing like 5 goons at the same time instead of maybe 1-2 because you distracted / eliminated some...

It definitely feels similar to Hitman gameplay wise, but they really did nail the Bond movie theme. I’ve seen some complaints like it being cheesy at times or over the top action pieces that are sometimes QTE, which tells me 1) they never watched a Bond movie or 2) They only watched Casino...

If you’re hating Cyberpunk because it has some gay characters, then enjoy not playing one of the best games of the decade

Obsession reviewed pretty well and novel horror films usually can pull in some decent cash

Maybe, which is why you look at patterns. For example, I’ve seen tons of stories about how hard Chevy Chase was to work with, which makes me more inclined to believe them

If true, provides more context. Refusing to leave his trailer for hours and other stuff https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/mobland-tom-hardy-fired-pierce-brosnan-helen-mirren-1236606437/
