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.

Thanks for the explanation.

Remember that time when Peter Molyneux said he wasn’t going to speak to the press or about games anymore?

“I understand that people are sick of hearing my voice and hearing my promises. So I’m going to stop doing press and I’m going to stop talking about games completely.”

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.

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.

FANTASIAN is a wonderful game and I’m so pleased more people are going to be able to get to enjoy it. It’s taken far too long for it to arrive on consoles but it’s better late than never.

Sakaguchi’s love for FFXIV is undeniable though, he spent a long time discussing and sharing his progress and enjoyment on Twitter (he may still do, but I’m not there anymore). So for him to say he would prefer to stay a fan, than ruin his experience, is as much as I’d expect. Though, in a way it is a little sad, because I’m sure FFXIV players would be ecstatic to see his involvement.

I’d recognise Limsa Lominsa anywhere. I’ve been playing since 1.0, with some breaks here and there. FFXIV is one of my favourite games ever, for story and gameplay.

I hope you enjoy it and have a great experience. Feel free to join us at !finalfantasyxiv@lemmy.world as well.

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.

I know Mikami is in a good position to understand these decisions better than us, but this still feels like a cop-out answer. I suspect there is far more to it than a terrible comparison to Monster Hunter.

The DDOS is old news but the article is reporting on XLabs investigation and findings, which they shared today.

I was on the fence for ages over whether it was going to be worth it. Thought I was taking a risk when I ordered the OLED one at release on a whim. It wasn’t a risk, the machine is incredible. I love it.

I mean if someone is addicted to only playing one really specific MMO or MOBA and it’s not available on Linux

I don’t know about other MMOs but Final Fantasy XIV runs incredibly well on the Steam Deck under Steam OS. It’s my current addiction but for this, at the moment there is no reason for me to go through Windows, and I like it this way.

Oh nice! I don’t have surround sound, so I can only imagine it’s a great experience. I go back and watch them every so often, always fun to do.
