No.109976
>>109956>>109960I'm fine with it. Mario RPG aged gracefully enough that it doesn't really have much to gain from getting a remake (unlike, say, Paper Mario 64), so they could've done literally anything with this and I wouldn't have minded. What they
did go with, basically recreating the original game's graphics in real-time 3D, is probably the best choice they could've made.
I also appreciate that, for the most part, they're using the original Mario RPG designs, as opposed to going back and putting everything on-model. The main Mario designs standardized around NSMB, and for the most part, they've been pretty strict about sticking to them. It's neat to see them use the Mario RPG toads, for example.
>>109956>Kinda funny, because a lot of original Super Mario RPG stuff were 3D renders that were then traced or whatever you would call it.The word you're looking for is 'prerendered'. They'd take a 3D model, render out images of it on a fancy-pants graphics workstation, and then use those images as sprites in a game. The specifics vary, and there's a good chance they messed around with the renders afterward in a program like photoshop, but broad-strokes that's what they did.

Simply porting the assests to pc elden ring makes sense.

So this might be something to make a thread for since it seems pretty big, but for start I'll just post it here:
https://blog.nicovideo.jp/niconews/231350.htmlThe short of it is that NicoNico stuff is now going under region locking. For me anyway, I can still access videos, but NicoNico Seiga is blocked. Trying to go to an illustration I was looking at gives me this:
https://www.nicovideo.jp/region_restrictionTheir reasoning is stated by:
>However, with the changing times and the diversification of devices, it has become necessary to take comprehensive measures that consider not only Japanese laws but also recent social conditions, international circumstances, and foreign laws.>After careful consideration, we are reviewing the scope of regulations to ensure the continued operation of Niconico and its services, while maintaining our compliance with Japanese laws. This includes revising regulations on content that may violate foreign laws or offend public order and morals.I'm not smart enough to really think about the future ramifications and what this means in the long term. My gut tells me they don't want to put up with gaijin internet anymore and considering the shit Japanese creators get over social media like twitter I can see why, but that's just gut feeling and not founded on much else but anecdotal evidence.
Either way I'll just leave this info here as that and let you come to your own conclusions and people more savvy than I discuss.

Posting here instead of the games thread because I haven't played this yet.
A long awaited, high effort hack of Super Metroid, called "X-Fusion", was finally released after having been in development for what I believe has been at least 10+ years. While it's SM at its core, the vast majority of non-original assets are borrowed from Fusion and if I recall correctly, the hack is also supposed to be a reimagination of it. I don't really care for hacks in general, this is the only instance that I've kept somewhat up to date with due to the sheer amount of custom work put into, such as custom sprites and boss mechanics. Sadly, most of the preview footage from years back has either been deleted or privated.
The reviews so far seem a little disappointing. It's said to have a lot of cheap death traps and instakill enemies that suck the fun out of what could be a great game. One review talked about the story being embarrassing, which I've actually been worried about because the creator seems to have discovered the annoying mainstream anime fandom for himself a couple years back.
A 1.1 update has already been released, though it seems to be too early to tell if it's helped a lot.

Maybe not the correct thread. But I didn't want to make an entire thread for this. I noticed a few days ago that my burner youtube account is now suggesting things I watched 15+ years ago on my old main account. I have/had 20+ gmail accounts for different things but I haven't used any for youtube but a burner I made a few years ago. My watch history is disabled on it but now it's suggesting and adding things to "my mix" that I know for a fact I never watched on this account. They're all 200X uploads of old music videos and albums I haven't listened to in a long time.
I wonder if they're getting ready to combine all my accounts together ahead of the requirement for Real ID to avoid age restrictions. Its really screwed up my account because I don't really like a lot of that music anymore because I've heard it a million times. It keeps giving me that stuff instead of suggesting songs and artists I haven't heard before.

>>159473That's true! I've only ever played "Super Metroid Rotation", which is basically just the vanilla game but rotated on its side. It's a lot of fun for how walljump-heavy it is, that's my favorite mechanic in the entire game. Haven't played other hacks yet because I need features like custom bosses for a hack to feel worth it to me personally.
>Chuuni stuff? Power levels? That's kind of refreshing honestly.It's already been a few years since then, but what I think to remember is the dev making one or two ironic kusoposts, going something like "ANIME METROID UWU" and showing off ironic weeaboo dialogue as a joke. To be fair, I probably remember it worse than it really was, but I personally decided to separate the art from the artist at that point. Refreshing to me would be if he was just a really awkward and genuine autist, those are super cute and trigger my protective instincts.
Either way! I still haven't played the hack, but I've been watching a veteran player going at the 1.1 update for 4 hours so far and this version looks really good to me! The custom bosses are super great and the progression feels proper and nicely challenging. It is most definitely a reimagination of Fusion, a great bit is modeled after the original layout, but there is more than enough custom stuff to keep it new and exciting. I've been liking it much better than the original game so far.
There are a few spots here and there which could be better, but it's totally fine. Dialogue has been fine to me so far too, I assume it's the hollywoodish temper Samus is portrayed with that people don't like too much, like calling a robot a stupid piece of junk or going like "What do you expect me to do, stay here and play poker with you?". But again, I've only been watching and the guy is 4 hours in!

No.165392
>>165386>The VR set is probably goodI think it's the weakest part of the launch. It's not unique in terms of hardware; the displays and optics it uses are basically identical to what's in a Quest 3. It's not competing on affordability; the only mention of price being "less than Index", which itself has been overpriced and outdated for years. The only thing it has going for itself is that it runs SteamOS. I honestly think it's going to be a dramatic flop for Valve. Price sensitive gamers are just going to pick up a Quest 3. Enthusiasts will look at the dated specs and scoff. Casual gamers are unlikely to pick it up because VR is decidedly not casual... So who's left? Arch Linux enthusiasts who want a standalone VR headset?
Valve cannot compete on price because Meta can afford to sell every headset they sell at a loss. So, Valve should really have known better and stuck to the enthusiast market segment. Why they didn't use higher resolution OLED displays is genuinely baffling to me. There's also discontent among people who bought into the base station tracking ecosystem (e.g. Index, Pimax, Bigscreen VR users) because Valve has said they're not going to support it on the Frame.
Like, wow, great. You can play flat screen games and install your steam library on the headset... So cool... But why should anyone care? The headset is already a wireless standalone headset. If people want to play Silksong, who's going to decide to do that on a VR headset instead of a handheld like the Steam Deck? For that matter, why would they decide to play [Fill in the Blank] VR game on the headset itself instead of streaming from their PC?
When the Index released it genuinely was enthusiast hardware: 144Hz when every headset of note prior was 90Hz, high resolution (for the time), great audio and mic, completely unique finger tracking controllers.
But what does the Frame have? Nothing. It's basically just a Quest 3 that released 3 years late. The only thing it has is Steam OS, and that's easily the weakest selling point imaginable.
Sorry for the rant.
