It is amazing we are not seeing more out of these titles in terms of remakes/sequels. From the Dark Forces IP, Xwing Alliance - done right it would just print money.
I'd probably pay 80$ for a dark force trilogy remake with updated graphics and lighting.

Just talking about it makes me want to play through on the old media anyway.

Those were great games too. Man now I want to replay them too haha.

I understand why stormtroopers had accuracy issues, those blaster rifles were not very accurate!

Maybe we can use AI to vibe code a new operating system that doesn’t suck balls and we can eschew Windows forever.

Is FromSoft actually making anything or are they just going to keep cranking out Nightreign content? They've been super quiet.
The only thing they're talking about for now is the Temu Nightreign Switch 2 exclusive that no one in their right mind gives a fuck about.

Don't they have an EU law against that sort of thing? I mean these fuckers were going down anyway but holy shit - When the back is against the wall may as well just Kamakazi to the bottom and go out with a bang.

I only care about porting Bloodborne on Steam or the next from software soulsborn game. I always play from software games in offline mode, anyways.

yeah, I've linked them before. as he releases new ones. This is unquestionably the most in depth and well researched Ultima/origin systems restrospective.
They are fantastic. I really recommend going right back to the start and Alakabeth.
They aren't just about the games. but also the company. the people.

Like this on.. he is finished talking about Pagan at 2:45. then spends 37minutes, on System shock, Wing commander 3, Crusader no remorse, as well as bioforge. and warren spencer going to ionforge. (deus ex.)

shit I didn't even know about Crusader no remorse.


looks like each vid takes about 2-3 months. and he does other stuff too. like the kings field/shadowtower retrospectives are great too.

Like I said before, if they dropped that trailer in the middle of the game awards, it would have never received the level of pre-release hate that it got. Would it have done well? Probably not unless it got insanely good word of mouth, which it wouldn’t have with its launch features.

Slay the Spire 2 releases tomorrow. I cant wait. STS1 is one of the best roguelike games of all time, and the sequel has co-op!

100k people played Highgarden, and they had like 10k people the next day. It wasn't the online hate. It's because the game wasn't good.

Any idea if that supports VR? I played one of them with my VR goggles and it was amazing. It did make my wife sick watching me on the PC monitor though.

No idea, I am sure now days PC based VR could do whatever game with mappings or whatever

I just saw this as I am somehow in the super far off Linkedin network of one of the guys that made it, that is how I saw it... I was doom scrolling linkedin because why not... and I saw the trailer thumbnail, and I was like 'oh an ad...a tiefighter ad?' then I read some of the post and was like 'this is a really REALLY long post for an ad / fake post promoting the game' - turned out to be not a "ad" ad, but the actual guy posting about how many hours he and the team did, what tools and stuff and a long little blurb and really just a link to the trailer, not a link to buy/signup/steam or whatever- so I figured it was old news, but knew the FoH bros liked this and xwing (who didnt!) so I wanted to share the love.
