- “Do we really want to listen to a whole film of Charles Martinet going “woohoo” in falsetto and putting on a cartoonishly thick Italian accent?” yes 100%. I played like 50 hours of him doing that in Mario odyssey and it got better and better every timeVoicing Mario in a movie is an impossible task, because he’s never really been a character polygon.com/23396736/mario…
- If this was a Mother earthbound game you'd meet an NPC called mr yellowspraypaintsmen 1/3 of the way through the game who says that he and his 11 brothers one of which is a girl have been helping show you the way with paint because they know you are kids and are still learningTHE YELLOW PAINT VIRUS HAS INFECTED FF7
- People saying that the Star Wars prequels were beloved upon release, that the Gamecube was a financial success because "it had melee", that the PS3 failed because it had no games, shows that Youtube & social media have now been around long enough to rewrite entertainment history
- I know they mean this as a dig but if these kids actually learn to "make this make sense" they will learn a lot about the difference between good character design and great character design in the process
- Replying to @NonTrotski“Do you really want to listen to a ridiculous videogame voice for 2 hours?!” No I want to listen to it for 200 hours. That’s why I play videogames with the sound on.
- People holding AAA games to the technical standards of a fictional, technologically-induced dream-state that completely suspends the disbelief and submerges the minds' of the entire human race is... not good hahaI thought I was experiencing dejavu, like a glitch in the matrix. Lady on the 1st floor is the exact same npc as the lady on the third floor. Same room, same lady, same timing. #PS5Share, #MarvelsSpiderMan2
00:00 - What does it say about modern 1st party PlayStation games that this many people are championing one that looks much more like a 1st party Nintendo game than anything else they've published in the past five years?
- I hope people never stop asking this dude why firing one of his company's most critically successful, and by his company's own report, financially successful studios, was necessary to keep the business runningPhil Spencer says he "sometimes has to make hard decisions" when asked about Xbox studio closures: "In the end, I've said over and over, I have to run a sustainable business inside the company and grow, and that means sometimes I have to make hard decisions that frankly are not
- Quick story about what people mean when they say "you can't be racist against white people". A white friend of mine was once discriminated against by her PoC boss. So she told HR and the boss was eventually fired, then she quit and works for a white person, making way more money
- I don’t know how much longer publishers will shell out the huge money it takes to make realistic graphics. A game just announced it can 100% recreate a b grade actor’s face in the same night that a game that looks like a broken roblox mod announced it sold 10 million in 3 days
- So many people are trying to decide who the “bad guy” is in the bayonetta voice over situation and are missing the point here. Voice actors in AAA games get treated like paid volunteers. Their unique contributions aren’t valued. Just ask David Hayter and Charles Martinet
- By "6-year-old or older games" I of course thought they meant endlessly worth discovering games like downwell or the wonderful 101 but they actually mean never ending microtrasaction service games like fortnite and Roblox I am behind the times60 Percent Of Playtime In 2023 Went To 6-Year-Old Or Older Games, New Data Shows dlvr.it/T4zHQY
- Been thinking about how normalized it has become to just hate journalists. Not bad journalists, but journalists in general, and journalism as a concept. And games journalism in particularMost Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree mods just make the DLC easier, including a "Journalist mode," which lets you take 50% less damage. trib.al/76BjHyR
