It really feels a lot like Sweet Home, it's just a shame how latter entries went too hard into the whole anime/manga direction, which is fine by itself, but it lost the charm, simplicity and horror that the original offered to me.

NTA but Fatal Frame games are genuine masterpieces because they have literally every aspect that makes a good horror game AND they are very fun to play. I think they are mustplays for anyone who's into action-adventure games, let alone horror

Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge on the Amiga really paved the way for Top Gear on the Super Nintendo.

Also, during gameplay on Lotus Esprit, the bottom half of the split-screen has a couple of guys fixing the red Lotus Esprit Turbo SE vehicle while you're driving it on the top half.

You gonna buy it, or nah? I want one for homebrew, Doom Resurrection is a cool novelty (likewise Tomb Raider 32X and the Golden Axe remaster) and if the recent marvels of Saturn homebrew are any indication it's a platform ripe for ambitious ports and other projects. Maybe we'll get a fan port of SegaSonic? Or all the never-adapted Model 1, 2 and System 32 arcade games, like Wing War or OutRunners.

The only one that counts is the 64DD, and the Japanese only Satellaview. The rest are classified as accessories. Also, the Dreamcast VMU is the default memory card for the system. Not sure why that was included.

>Too hard
I think they intentionally reduced the responsiveness to make you feel like you can't control the Eva, much like Shinji's experience. I wonder if the controllability improves in later missions. One thing I really liked, which was unexpected for me, a lot of digital samples of the music from the show.

>Because making a game out of Evangelion is fucking stupid but since it's an immensely popular anime they had to do it
No it's not, they could have just made a pretty cool scrolling beat'em up (eg. a belt scroller). Except those weren't very popular at the time and they take a fair bit of effort to create. Back in the NES days they just made fun 2d platformers and slapped the licenses on them... no reason why this practice couldn't continue, but making a decent 3d platformer would have required a huge amount of effort. If Eva had come out during the NES or SNES era then we could have gotten a nice 2d game out of it.

As someone who owned only a GameCube in that era, the reaction was:

Agreed, Anon is talking out of his ass. PS1-PS2 was a mighty reign. Awesome libraries, comfortable, sensible controllers, and gen two had backwards compatability. I also see a lot of people downplaying the dvd player aspect of the PS2, but man, in 2002 it was fucking awesome having a full entertainment device in my bedroom.

Of all the Xbox games left in Japan, this is the most interesting one. It would have effortlessly found a following, especially with the absence of later Onimusha titles on Xbox. Maybe it wasn't brought over as it is sandwiched between Otogi and Ninja Gaiden.

Cleaned up my ghetto "portable" battlestation. '89 13" Sony Trinitron with an AV splitter. Got a VCR hooked up which gives me an extra Coaxial and Composite port, so I can hook up 7 things to the TV. I currently just have a Twin Famicom and a 2600 hooked up alongside a DVD player and the aforementioned VCR. Only issue is that the buttons on the TV are fucked up (volume up changes channel for some reason) so I'll need to get a universal remote soon. Anyways enough blogposting show me your battlestations.

They did it, though, fighting the enemies on each screen was fun so that's what we did. Dropping a couple of bombs or candles before going to the next screen was an afterthought.

I've been playing the Nightdive Quake remaster and loving it, and was considering getting Quake 2 once I'm done. I was wondering what the general consensus on it is though? Would it have been better received if it was called Wor as originally planned? I definitely prefer the weird semi-fantasy vibe of the original (and DEFINITELY prefer the NIN soundtrack) but I don't hear much said about Quake 2's actual gameplay.

Quake II's problem is not really bad level design or weapon design, it's that the enemies are not really interesting so they don't create interesting encounters, and there is not enough variety from level to level, with the setting played too straight leaving very little space for creativity (compared to Doom and Quake's surreal nightmare worlds and abstract absurd castles).

>Is David Siller the most fucked over man in Western game development? Apparently he played a very big part in the creation/development of Crash Bandicoot, but barely receives any credit
Not just a big part, David literally created crash as a game designer including the level design in it and got fucked over majorly along with the original illustrator/artist by ND. There’s a lot of drama you can find online how ND basically hijacked the credits and fame and gave both of those the boot despite doing no wrong. Rubin really dug the studio it’s own grave for a shot of climbing Sony’s ranks which failed horrendously after Cerny hijacked it too. That Studio is beyond cursed
