I can see that haha. I think the big reason why I rarely see them when I search secondhand stores/thrift stores, etc, is that usually they toss magazines away after a certain time I imagine. I never see old mags, just fairly newer ones still kinda in date. I hate the idea of having to look at ebay for bundles and sets. I'd rather find them for much cheaper in the wild as they say. When I did have the magazines, I took horrible care of them. Often cut them up for projects or put pages of popular game ads on my wall. I'll still keep an eye out for them whenever I go to any secondhand shop.

PS1 games originally released in the US in those black long cases. I have a few games in those cases. But soon after they started to go with just plain jewel cases. I prefer the jewel cases honestly because they were easier to store. But damn did those jewel cases damage the manuals. How many games did you get where the jewel case ripped trying to get it out? But which did you prefer? The original black case that's more like a fat DVD case? Or the smaller/thinner jewel cases?

I wish I took care of my video game magazines growing up. I had a decent collection of magazines from egm, psn, and others I'm likely forgetting. But these days my nostalgia has been in overdrive and I've been keeping an eye out for retro gaming mags. Haven't found much of anything at thrift stores or really anywhere else. Are retro gaming mags hard to come by? I'm sure I could find a bunch on eBay, but I don't want to do that lol. I also wouldn't mind collecting Nintendo power. As I didn't own those growing up.

What did you guys think of the games that they made for the doodle? They play a lot like games I would have played on old flash sites back in the day. The first one they have on there was fun. Also, one of the games has a sprite for Jerry Lawson, which I thought was nice. Oh, and did anyone edit the games? Each one allows you to freely edit it and share as your own game. I wonder if anyone did that and are trying to say they made it.

Have you ever used the setting? It does smooth the textures somewhat, in turn enhancing some games, albeit it doesn't make much of a difference for most. I've done it before and there is a small noticeable difference. It's not like a big jump, but it's there. And I'd say in some regards it is a small improvement.

The PS2 has a texture smoothing feature for PS1 games, it's just kinda confusing to find it. It doesn't improve much, but tries to add smooth lines to the PS1 games you play. You can literally turn on a setting to do it. https://stationgeek.blogspot.com/2010/08/how-to-turn-texture-smoothing-on-for.html I also remember hearing about the option in an old gaming mag when I was a kid.

Disney is remastering Sega Genesis classic ‘Gargoyles’
Kane99 replied to Kane99's topic in Gaming News
It's probably going to be multiplatform and released digitally on most marketplaces. I don't think Sega owns the license for it anymore either, so it's all Disney from here on out. Which means they could put this game on every platform if they want, which is probably what they will do to make as much money from it as possible. -
Yeah it could turn out that way, but that might not be a bad thing. But the whole Arkham formula has kinda gotten stale over the years. Having the same controls for most of the games was nice, but also made it less replayable for me. I remember Shadow of Mordor and Mad Max having similar fighting mechanics. I think many games kinda copied it from what I remember. Kinda wish the new gotham knights did, as I hear they strayed from that. Not sure what you mean, but Ubisoft is facing legal actions from people who accused past workers of abuse. I don't know how those cases are going, but it's probably the big thing Ubisoft and team have to deal with these days.

Honestly, smaller tvs tend to look better when it comes to gaming, especially if you have a smaller 4K tv, like 32 inches or so I'd say. It would probably look better on that than say a big tv. But, it also depends how far away you're sitting from the tv. If it's a small tv and you sit close, it should look fine. But if you have a big tv in a smaller space, it probably would look more blown up and not as good looking. It's cool to game on a big screen, but I don't think it's a requirement.

There is said to be some workarounds that'll help solve some of the performance issues. And I read somewhere that there are some settings you have to change to get it to work, and developers haven't made it known yet, so that's another problem. This article seems to address how to fix some of the performance problems until a patch drops: https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2022/12/02/the-callisto-protocol-pc-performance-fix-for-lag-dlss-alternative/

US Military has been trying to recruit through gaming and esports
Kane99 replied to Kane99's topic in Gaming News
Oh most likely. I know I've seen ads from the military in gaming magazines, and as sponsors for many gaming events over. It happens a lot. And now, they're just finding alternatives to reach teens, because they know where they're heading in droves. I'm sure there are a decent share of gamers who want to be in the military, so it just helps those guys/gals get interested sooner. -
To be fair, it's also on the PS1, so you're not going to get a great 3D experience that way. And the reason is may look a tad bit better on the PS2, is because the PS2 spruces the graphics up a bit, more clean, but doesn't change much at all. It was also one of the first true 3D horror games. Aside from that, most horror games at the time had poor voice acting, that's kinda to be expected lol.

who else can't wait for blood Bourne 2 to be released?
Kane99 replied to Clasher's topic in Video Games
Do we even know if we're getting a sequel to Bloodborne? I really think this team is going to keep making one off games in interesting places. We got Sekiro (was it same creator, I forget), and I think another game I'm forgetting. But I feel like they want to focus on one off games going forward, but with souls like controls and difficulty. But, who knows, Bloodborne might get a sequel one day. My guess is that it won't happen, and we'll see another game like Bloodborne, but with a completely different name, setting, characters etc. -
Not sure what you're on about, as this is just the DC side of things. Marvel isn't part of it, so no crossovers with them, at least not in the foreseeable future. Well this is more to do with DC and their universe. Marvel pretty much does the same anyway, as they are tying characters in from their shows into their movies more now. But DC normally doesn't mix their stories from other media into their main storylines.

The Game Awards 2022 is nearly upon us, as they will be airing a live stream December 8th. Are your favorite games up for awards? Or are there some games that are missing from the mix? I figured God of War: Ragnarok would make the cut this year, even though it came out so close to the end of 2022. Anyway, what are your predictions on winners? What reveals do you think they will show? You can find more on those nominated, along with start time and where to watch here - https://thegameawards.com/

Their creative director Tom French recently stepped down. He was with the team for 11 years, so it's going to be interesting how this affects Halo Infinite going forward. It's clear Infinite isn't doing good right now, and they need all the help they can get right now. Halo shouldn't be having this many problems. I don't get why Microsoft isn't supporting their biggest franchise more. You can read more on this news here: https://dotesports.com/halo/news/halo-infinites-multiplayer-creative-director-leaves-343-industries-as-games-future-gets-murkier

Kojima tweeted on Dec 1st the image you see below, with a text saying "Start a new journey." You can view more of the tweets/photos via the article link below. https://www.metalgearinformer.com/?p=39176 He also shows that actress Shioli Kutsuna is involved with the project, who was previously in Deadpool 2. What do you think his next game will be? Could this be a tease for a new game for Sony? Or is it their new Xbox title?

Yeah not a bad rating, and I'm starting to see more high scores coming out. But it seems that there are performance issues with the PC and Xbox versions of the game, while the PS5 version is said to be playing fine, at least according to the article below: https://www.eurogamer.net/digitalfoundry-2022-the-callisto-protocol-pc-xbox-series-x-series-s There are still some reviews coming out where they're giving it a 5 or 6 out of 10. Also, a friend of mine told me that there may be a setting you have to turn on to help with the combat/performance or something. I couldn't find anything on it myself though.

It sucks, especially if you had done a lot of work on the games you played. I was really mad when I saw my file gone. I had no idea what happened. I probably searched online about my save file and I think I found news about it. And then kinda recently my save file for nba 2k on PC disappeared. I had cloud saves as well, but I couldn't access it. Contacted epic games and they were literally no help. So I stopped playing the game at that point and uninstalled it. Also contacted 2k support but they too were no help. It really sucks when it happens. Kinda feels like you're defeated or something.

I never owned the master system, just the genesis and Saturn. What is the difference exactly? Is the genesis the competition for the SNES while the master system is the competition for the NES? Or was it a pal system?
-
I started to save scum. Or so that's what they call it when you make a new save each time you save, or you rotate your saves. I started to do it, because if I need to go a bit, I many options I can choose. Also I keep cloud saves on whenever I play a game. Never hurts to have that as a backup.

Idk I can't do touch controls for fps games. Just not my thing I guess. I tried both cod mobile and pubg mobile, and I couldn't get into it. I tried too. Both games worked fine on my old phone, which I was surprised by.
-
I was disappointed when I heard the news they weren't supporting it anymore. Which sucks, because I would have liked to play and maybe even stream some of the old classics. And it would have made it easy to do if they released them on Xbox one and series x/s. Maybe they will revisit it. What would be awesome is if they allowed use of an emulator that would let us play the discs on current consoles. I bet they could make it work. It would be so cool if they made it work somehow.

Is The Last Of Us part 3 ever going to be a reality?
Kane99 replied to Clasher's topic in Video Games
Well, they could make sequels that they can later remaster like they're doing now. 😄 They will remake the second game next, and then we'll probably get some announcement about a third on the way. -
Source: https://techraptor.net/gaming/news/us-army-continues-to-pour-millions-into-esports-and-gaming The US military has been attempting to connect to gamers to in turn recruit them. The US military has been sponsoring more gaming events, tournaments, and so on, with plans to sponsor more events. They've spent millions on sponsoring video games. They are sponsor through the likes of Cod and Halo, through the halo tv show that recently dropped. I imagine this has been a thing forever. There are more gamers than ever who are of age for joining the military. And it's hard to connect with a young adult, especially to get them away from their games to go into the military. Do you think this is messed up? Or do you support it? I know the military promotes a lot to teens, because it's not always a bad thing to go into. It helps with college and helps in other avenues. But to go to war is a whole other story. I don't think most teens are into that. But maybe I'm wrong. I just think it's weird to promote signing up for the military through any video games, movies, tv, etc.
