To be fair, I’ve never seen anything come close to Amanos illustratative work.

Is there a space on your shelf for one of these cubes?

Honestly, no. Square Enix in recent years have introduced so much acrylic crap for fans and collectors, and it mostly looks like cheap tat. To me this is just another set of junk to add to the pile.

It has been a long time since I’ve played SH1. I believe amount you save only affects the star ranking. Endings are dependant on tasks you do in the game. You should be alright if you’re saving a lot.

You’re not wrong, I’d add some Crash Bandicoot inspired level designs as well as some Sackboy Big Adventures in there. It’s a wonderful game, hopefully they’ll bring it to PC for you to enjoy it (I’m assuming you’re gaming on PC).

Court documents reveal that Gametech Holdings had pinched the trademark from Nguyen after the original developer missed refiling for it. The Flappy Bird Foundation, spearheaded by game designer Michael Roberts, then purchased it from Gametech.

I didn’t know about the trademark take over. But, thats a great start to the reputation of this thing. Unfortunately most people won’t even realise what is going on here, so what are the chances some will mistake this as Nguyen’s doing?

The whole plan and background for this game sounds abhorrent.

Anecdotal but of all my IRL friends and colleagues, I’m the only person who has the game right now. Despite how much I tell them how good it is, and how much fun I’m having, a few don’t want to pay full price due to how short they’ve read the game is.

From what I understand, its been there a while as well.

It might be that you are. I play FFXIV on my SD so there’s a few times where I need it for comms, so it can become a massive pain. That’s probably why I notice it enough to have the complaint.

I wish they would fix the OSK issue where it does not show when using the shortcut (STEAM + X) but would when opening it from the ... menu.

Drives me mad.

25 years already?! It doesn’t seem that long ago. I might see if I can dig mine out - Jet Set Radio or Sonic…

Thanks for the explanation.

I was following the dev on Twitter for a while, its been interesting to see some of the developments on this. Exciting to see the release date, and I’ll definitely be making this a day one purchase.

Also I love the song in the trailer, it fits perfectly.

I’m looking forward to playing this, so will be staying staying away from anything early like this, and not even clicking through.

To go with the discussion prompt; I do think modern games can, but they need to stay as true as possible in a number of ways. Games like Silent Hill 2 won’t benefit from changing the combat to something more action oriented, and the story needs to be as close as possible. Sometimes things may differ and that’s understandable, but the question has to be asked, “Is this the game that would have been made back then if they had todays funding, technology, or knowledge?”

Shapes of Play products seem quite cool but expensive for what they are. Other than collectors I’m not sure who would pay £35 for stress balls/shapes.

Even though this is a preview, I’m a little disappointed by this on a whole. 30 years is a massive milestone, and so far this is underwhelming for such a big anniversary.

No worries. Easy mistake to make.

Thanks for sharing! There’s also a local instance for !finalfantasyxiv@lemmy.world that I’ve recently taken over moderating.

We have !finalfantasyxiv@lemmy.world if you’re wanting a local instance.

I never knew about PS2 BBN! I still have my Fat PS2 but doubt I’d have the time to get it working so it was nice to get a look at this. And that was a great video, I love her energy.

I wish we could go back to this. It would certainly increase the longevity of some games.

Honestly, they would be stupid not to put it in the collection.
