Well, looks like it's time to hack the PS3, PSP, and Vita.

Microsoft: * laughs in four generations *

Sony actually sucks balls with preservation. I never seen a company so against game preservation in my life, and I'm a Nintendo fan.

At least they are willing to port big titles and old ass games to their latest consoles, even if they do it as slow as molasses. What the hell is Sony's excuse?

 

[SneakyLink]

So the PlayStation thing is official? I guess it truly is end of a era.

Although after reading a specific quote about how a big exec at Sony questioned why people wanted to play older games due to them not looking good, I feel it was a matter of time.

I may not be a PS fan, but I feel for you folks.

 

[MSmariosonic]

And here I was thinking of buying a PS3 later this year to finally play MGS1...

 

[Knight Dude]

Crazy how Piracy would be cut a lot if games were just re-released. Now there's a ton of games that will no longer have a means of being obtained legally without costing an arm and a leg. The Mega Man Legends titles are good examples of this. That said, I understand companies can't keep the servers totally open forever. Just that there's steps they could take to bring a lot of those titles over to a newer system.

 

[MSmariosonic]

It also doesn't help the Metal Gear Legacy collection uses a digital download code for MGS1

And I'm really hesitating whether to buy a Playstation classic or not

I‘m genuinely curious about the exact mentality behind people defending Playstation’s more detrimental decisions that they’e made lately. Aside from today’s news and their ignoring of Japan Studio, it’s got a mountain of classic fans more than a little miffed, yet there’s still some people defending it. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were to defend PS if the higher ups were to say something not just stupid, but genuinely offensive. I’d just want to know why.

 

[Lamperouge]

Dutch Raikuna Started watching Angel Beats and I'm curious if you've seen it before and have any thoughts on it. The premise is pretty interesting and the humor has even made me chuckle a few times. Also seems like it could potentially be a feels trip with the character backstories I've seen so far.

 

[Deleted member]

This has been a bit easier than expected, all things considered

Of course, I had to hit a roadblock somewhere; I can't seem to figure out how to change the texture for the eyes and mouth, and all the documents I found are for very old versions of blender not to mention rendering this would be a pain in the ass cause of my weak specs

 

[MooMew64]

What Sony needs is an ecosystem that they can simply reuse across generations. With consoles now becoming basically mid-range prefab PCs with the PS5 and Series X, there is hope that what we have now will just be continuously brought forward in the future. PS3, Vita, and the PSP were all running on emulators that were (I'm assuming), specifically designed for that hardware, and asking them to keep the lights on forever when there isn't any financial gain for them to is a bit of a tough ask from the company's standpoint.

However, That does not excuse how Sony and Nintendo both are failing to offer newer and more future-proof alternatives. The money and genuinely genius ideas are there for a subscription based model that offers classic and legacy content à la carte, but for whatever reason, Sony and Nintendo stubbornly refuse to embrace the idea fully and really put R&D into it. Perhaps focus grouping and researching is showing that there might not be as much money to make as we may think? Perhaps they're afraid legacy content will inadvertently compete with upcoming releases? Who knows. Either way, it's butts, and is why I'm a huge believer of if you already own it or it isn't available to purchase officially anymore, emulate that sucker.

the DCAU is still the best animation universe of all time (only Avatar and 90s Marvel can rival it)

 

[Hadokeyblade]

I miss the virtual console.

 

[Noipoi]

Had a dream where N from Pokémon Black/White was the next character.

And all anyone did was make jokes about the N word.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Aw jeez. Two hours to go. Hard to believe I've survived this long.

 

[KingBooGengar57]

The only title that makes the Famicom Mini better than the North American one is FFIII.

 

[Noipoi]

Aw jeez. Two hours to go. Hard to believe I've survived this long.

Try and keep calm.

It’d be a shame if you had a heart attack one hour before the movie dropped

 

[Rie Sonomura]

PGstats | PGstats presents the first Melee tier list since 2015

For the first time in six years, there's a new official Super Smash Bros. Melee tier list. Derived from survey results of 64 top players, this tier list ranks all 26 characters from Smash's second installment.

EVERYONE WHO WATCHES OR CARES ABOUT MELEE

A new Melee tier list released.

And it looks awesome <3

It reflects the meta really well right now. I have no complaints whatsoever.

Comparison to the previous one.

 

[KingBooGengar57]

In every Smash game, there isn't anybody in SS tier other than Meta Knight.

how is this a roblox game lmao

I know and **** that.

I've got no real reason to play my Vita outside of Virtua Tennis and Persona 4 but still it sucks.

The Mega Man Legends titles are good examples of this. That said, I understand companies can't keep the servers totally open forever. Just that there's steps they could take to bring a lot of those titles over to a newer system.

I agree with the servers 100% but with how heavy the demand is for PS5 for a number of reasons and how there are still places in second world countries that STILL play stuff like the PS3 very heavily they could have delayed it another year to be fair. Would have been a nice compromise.

And honestly I think once certain gears lock into place, I wouldn't be surprised if Sony really, really go on the attack of piracy and make sure it is picked clean and no way to do so. The company has been pulling moves I don't like.

To be really honest of a massive PS fan, their Japan Studio butchering would alone have made me lean towards Xbox it if wasn't cause of God of War and FFXVI. The experimentation of that game studio was one of the best in the industry from ICO to Ape Escape to LocoRoco to of course the company's still most critically acclaimed game.

Also by the way, their ****ty PS4 to PS5 save system is horrendous, PS5 has apparently noise issues with it's fans, issues with connecting controllers etc. Xbox is doing better out of the gate.

Definitely has one of my favourite set-ups of an anime. A waystation in the afterlife filled with teenagers/young adults who have regrets and a sort of war. I'll tell you though the ending does get a bit messy.

Also the music is one of the best. Great choice to watch my friend, great choice.

Wow, with all the trash that there is on the game now, there’s stuff that genuinely impresses me. Far different from the Roblox I played as a kid. For the most part, I only ever played a bunch of Mario Galaxy tributes and/or knockoffs.

How is dual-wielder a class?

 

[BlondeLombax]

the company's still most critically acclaimed game.

What would that be? Parappa?

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

This beauty of a game dude. Well this is the remake of Shadow of the Colossus but that's not the point. The game is still the best from their library.

Also there goes the chance of an ICO remake in this form.

 

[Pokelego999]

In every Smash game, there isn't anybody in SS tier other than Meta Knight.

Fox in Melee and Bayonetta in Sm4sh were also considered SS.

 

[Deleted member]

hmm well gee I wonder who this looks like?

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

Fox in Melee and Bayonetta in Sm4sh were also considered SS.

I would still leave Bayo in SS to this day.
But Melee Fox being an S tier works better. There's more counterplay available against him. He is the best character in Melee, but it's not by a large margin.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Alright! I'm finally all set up! 50 minutes counting! Got all my snacks prepared too!

 

[Metal Shop X]

Hey there osby , just wanted to post this since I sadly didn't find time to look up your Omori moveset post against and expand my thoughts on it. I know it's minor all things considered, but just wanted to let you know that, even if I couldn't write more on it, I look forward to any posts that expand on the concept (like taunt, color palettes,etc..). 'cuz hey, I really like Omori. Even if im still waiting a switch port.

That is all, outside of that, have a great night!

 

[TheMightyP]

Truth is, I don't like pirating games I don't own.

The only time that I'm fine with pirating if its super old to the point where it doesn't matter, or if it's impossible to find to the point where I have to pirate. I rather own games legally, and I don't mind emulating games that I legally own.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

I've already seen the first Space Jam, should I watch the sequel?

I'm interested in seeing it. If you have doubts, you can wait for reviews before you watch.

I've been saying Melee Bowser is the worst character in the game for a while.

I'm glad others are seeing this too.

If you're slow, chunky, and have very limited combos in a combo-focused game, things aren't going to go well. Bowser is the most un-Melee-like character in Melee, and that summarizes why he's the worst. It's like he's playing checkers while the other 25 characters are playing chess.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

This kid just randomly started recording a video in class, so I was a bit uncomfortable that I was in it. I asked her to delete it, and she didn‘t, so I asked a teacher for help. Her friends then started **** talking me and saying I was “causing problems”.

I didn’t cause crap, she was the one recording my voice without my consent.

When it comes to games I really hating pirating to hell. In fact I outright refuse it. Anime and TV shows to a certain extent.

Music on the other hand.......................

Kinda remind me at how MK in Brawl is basically a Melee character stuck in Brawl, and that's why he is the best.

Then again, no one in Melee as a good as recovery as Brawl MK as.

Mew2King's said it before... "Brawl Meta Knight is the only Melee character in Brawl. The others are true Brawl characters." The damage output is just too strong, among other strengths that are insane.
