DevGameClub recently played Bloodlines and now have Brian Mitsoda on. I have yet to listen to it, but thought I'd post it right away regardless.

A mix between flanders and heisenberg 🥲

Watching him trying to play Hitman 3 on the hardest difficulty is something else. Only 1 save per mission so yea he kinda fucked up cause hes never played a Hitman game before 🤣

Cyber Shadow releasing in a few days, being published by the Shovel Knight studio and with music by their go-to composer. It seems more like an era-appropriate tribute without the same blend of modern gameplay touches which were part of what elevated games like Shovel Knight and The Messenger (or else what's been shown hasn't highlight such things). That said it's developed by just a single dev/artist which is cool. Will wait for player impressions I think.

I tried the Disgaea 6 demo. I hear it runs like total shit on Switch, like 20fps -_-;; and 30-60fps on PS4/PS5. Only tried it on PS5.

Skipped all the story stuff, so was just checking out the move to 3d. Total meh. Looks like ass like PS2 3d srpgs. Also on super quality mode it still runs like 20fps on PS5  :lol  That takes skill to pull that off on a game that looks like this. Guess they're supersampling or something. It does look clean.

At the end of the day, if you play this you'll probably just turn all the animations off and move speed on maximum and it'll pretty much look/play the same as 2d Disgea mostly. Seems like a lot of extra work for the team to jump to 3d and nothing really gained at all. I guess this is future proofing, but considering their sprites in D4/D5 were pretty good and future-proof they could've just kept re-using those.

Anyhow, guessing it'll bomb and N1 will be done with srpgs for good at this point. It's been what, 5 years since Disgaea 5? And they used to make a yearly srpg. At least their other stuff is pretty well received lately. Someone on Era said the second entry in their Etrian Odyssey style dungeon crawler that just came out is really good. I picked up the first one on a Switch sale and will try it one of these days.

I'm not a fan of PS3 overall, but I glanced over a recommendation thread recently elsewhere and was interested in a couple of opinions.

One thing I'd be slightly interested in catching up on is Sly Cooper. Does anyone here find these games good? The trilogy is pretty expensive rn. I always thought it looked fun and I don't mind mascots with a 'tude. But only if they shut up like in early Sonic or Crash Bandicoot. These PS2 era ones always seem to go way too heavy on the story/not shutting up side, so I don't know whether to finally bite on this?

Also Ridge Racer 7 is very often mentioned as a classic. Did anyone here find it great too? Videos make it look pretty generic (and I still have Motorstorm in my PS3 backlog anyway...).

They're solid collectathon platformers with simple stealth mechanics to fit the thief theme. The story bits fall completely in the saturday morning cartoon kinda writing.

They basically follow the Crash Bandicoot/Spyro route were the 3rd game added a lot gimmicky levels.

What I find difficult about the PS3/Xbox 360 era is the framerate. Most games didn't run very well compared to games today.

I'm ok with the visual hit but the sub 30 fps is just a turn-off for me now. Unless it is something oozing with nostalgia like the N64.
I also feel that performance was better in most PS2/Xbox/GameCube games when developers were still aiming for either 30 or 60 fps.
 
Luckily most games can either be played on PC (often as better editions too) or in the case of Xbox they are backwards compatible.
I don't have a lot of nostalgia for the 360/PS3 era anymore.

I like the Ridge Racer games but you pretty much know what you're gonna get... solid racing titles, some tight controls, some quality pumping electronic music. I'd say they're above average - The only Ridge Racer that I think would be truly 'classic' would be the 4th one on PS1 - its graphics were extremely ahead of the curve, soundtrack was phenomenal, and it had some impressive UI design for a game of that era (that still looks great today).

They finally discovered the source of the vocal snippet in Xenogears boss battle theme. It's from the trial of Marlon Brando's son for murder - "Total sentence imposed is 10 years in state prison".
Always sounded like "total section are ass kicked" to me.

Yakuza’s notoriously tanned creator Toshihiro Nagoshi will retire from his role as chief creative officer at SEGA, assuming the position of creative director from 1st April. The news comes as part of a significant shake-up at the Japanese firm, which will effectively see it split its video game division from its amusements division.
