 "Some people might say there are a lot of remakes, but after five years, a lot of people have outgrown games and stop playing them. Young people today don't have the opportunity to play games from 10 years ago, so remaking them to be more playable and releasing them again is a good way to meet the demand.


"Letting people know the original games also leads to future developments, so we've been actively pursuing that recently."

Is that you Jim Ryan? 

But I suppose is totally a whimsical move to preserve video games and not corporate greed because it comes from Miyamoto.

I think it's a culmination of all of PlayStation's bad decisions and PR over the last few years. Folks were waiting for an opportunity to get their licks in and stick it back to PlayStation and Wolverine provided the perfect opportunity for it. That's not to say the game doesn't deserve any of the criticism it's getting, however it's clear there's also more at play with the level of criticism.

Yeah, that was embarrassing. I haven't watched the video in the OP yet so I don't have the full context, but I partly wonder if this is PR to recover from that instance. Or maybe, sadly, not enough people are even aware of that post for it to be an issue for the network.

Even this thread people aren't really acknowledging it.

[Vertigo]

That nurse / home-health-aide thread is already hilarious its like they almost get it before falling back into


Moderates usually wont be shouting or screaming they'll just do what they do at the ballot box.

I think at this point most people are kinda tired of online Transwomen (and its usually always them) making everything about themselves.

Sports and bathrooms are a simple but effective way to see the divide. Knowing someone can say they feel like a woman without passing in any serious way and wandering into a female bathroom where their could be kids triggers something in most people that it doesn't feel right.

Same with sports there are differences between men and women. Denial of that makes any argument they try and make for the opposite feel like gaslighting. 

Many on Era have dunked themselves deep in the sauce and there is no way to back out now. Even when reality repeatedly hits them in the face. Its sad to see how far gone many of them are. 

Even the more famous 'far left' dems have realized that topics like this are a serious vote loser with the silent moderates. Hence the recent rejection of 'Woke 1' All it does is gives the republicans endless red meat to campaign on.

Does that matter to the screeching trans in those spaces? nope! they'd rather it all collapses to serve their own misanthropic delusions. 

Many of them thought they just needed to 'change' genders and it would all be better but they are worse than ever.  They will never be happy.

People have left them behind to focus on things that matter to the majority. 

I watched this video recently I don think anyone on ree mentioned it

In the comments, lots of former progressives and working class folks talking about why they no longer identified with the current democratic party.

Broadly speaking there's a very large subset of nurses that act, think, and behave culturally and socioeconomically like blue collar workers more than anything else. There are memes about how often lady nurses marry firefighters, police officers, people that work in the trades, etc. From time to time you're just going to get some ignorant thoughts and opinions from that demographic

If people are going to stand by the "political calculus", then no one here should have any issues at all with trans people not voting, no? If those votes don't matter, no need to vote shame.

With our two party system there's no other choice but to vote for the lesser evil. Before 2016 I might agree with you, but after 2016 we've seen how much damage can be done by the greater evil in a short amount of time, with effects that could outlast all of us. It's a privilege to not vote and irresponsible to abstain, imo.

Its existence has tanked the public opinion on the game and may lead to closure and layoffs, if you think about it. Hopefully not but it feels like that. They made a gigantic error by including it as that now dominates the conversation.

I'm not saying it's the reviewer's fault - but that's what the audience has grabbed onto. That's reality, is it not? That feature is a deathknell for the game.

...and this is why the thread frustrates me because it's not as you describe

I have very high standards, thank you very much, but I think I view games through a different lens forged by decades of experience and an understanding of how they are made. It means that my viewpoint does not align with the masses or the usual conversations in many cases.

I'm seeing it in places that you wouldn't normally expect is all which makes me think it's spreading pretty wide. We've seen this kinda thing before. I think it will have a serious effect on the success.

Yeah it's hyperbole but I've not seen so much dislike for a game in a long time. I think the public opinion on this is done.

ETA on when they quit era again

Holding the “don’t criticize the shitty game because people might get laid off” argument over someone's head when all the Spider-Man games were gargantuan successes and Sony laid off Insomniac employees anyway. fuck off

everything IGN said is accurate and not hyperbole at this point.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/ign-opinion-playstation%E2%80%99s-future-has-never-looked-bleaker-the-elite-tier-single-player-console-is-crumbling.1630828/

Four of this generation's major first-party exclusives – Ghost of Yotei, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, God of War Ragnarok, and Horizon Forbidden West – are almost indistinguishable from their PS4 predecessors when it comes to how they play. Never mind the fact that there is significant overlap between each game's design language; there's a real sense that this generation has done little to advance the art form that so many buy a PlayStation for. The age of the glittering PlayStation exclusive – the "genre" that helped elevate the PS3 out of arrogant mediocrity and define the PS4 – feels well and truly over.

This feels like a knee jerk reaction, especially when Laufey is just around the corner and looks great.

That's about as dramatic as it can get for IGN so kudos

Elite engagement bait.

the current democratic party is not bluesky/REEE no matter how much they wish it was. it's moderate center-left liberals, it always has been, always will be and that fact drives online leftists mad. 
 
why else do you think republican PACs fund socdem candidates and constantly give them air time on Fox News and other outlets? 
  

[Jansen]

From Constructive 

On a similar topic, what's the deal with reactionary/drive-by posts on topics that are a bit more contentious? For example, I saw the thread on Tarantino's theatre project with Sacha Baron-Cohen and literally well over half the posts in there are just variations on 'Fuck these guys'.



People are entitled to their opinions but just the amount of reactionary posts you see daily, that have nothing to do with the actual topic, just means people just aren't willing to talk about topic they're interested in because they'll likely get dogpiled if they say anything that isn't negative.



Just curious because obviously going into a thread and reporting most of the posts is obviously ridiculous but also, I know that topics that involve controversial people often have more leeway regarding user posts than non-contentious ones.

If you're referring to the calls out, the OP has been made aware on several occasions about the person in question being promoted (Sacha Baron Cohen). And despite being informed about their problematic background and their racist ideologies, they've made at least another 7 or so recent threads promoting this person's film career. In the space of a month or two. I haven't engaged each time, but the reaction is predictable. You're not entirely wrong but I think the normalization of such hateful people is not welcome one either.

Just look at this devious and incredibly subtle trollitude from this dedicated trolly troll account that 1000% merits a permanent ban right off the bat:



(Setting aside the fact that this user is Mexican and prolly not terribly acquainted with Charlie Kirk as a US political figure, it's insane that Era talks up its great "community" but then casually hands out permanent exiles for incredibly milquetoast comments like saying "RIP, I guess" about someone who was publicly shot to death. Maybe they misread that rule in the 5,000 page rulebook saying zero-tolerance permas go to people celebrating murder, not lamenting it)

The studio has always been a sweatshop


"Fun" fact. We animated the show with 3D rigs, then rotoscoped 2D on top and added facial animation. It was the worst and we were paid per frame for it.

You worked on it? That's pretty cool!

I was always under the impression that it was indeed pre-animated and then the final 2D was matched to it; I had to do the same in one of my projects. But I thought it was animated traditionally first, not with CGI rigs.

Were the rigs particularly robust in terms of deformation or was it just enough to get the motion down for the rotoscoping phase?

Yeah well as you probably know, animation certainly has its ups and downs XD. At least the industry has since then mostly pivoted away to just paying salaries.

Oh trust me, I've had some...trying times. 🤣 I was actually paid salary for my projects, but they weren't under big corporate studios so I assumed differently.

wheres my dogsuit, bitch.  I didn't pay you for a fresh Mr. Woofles costume to dillydally with actual animators.
