I’m sad that they had to monetize sky the way they did to keep the service up. It’s clearly what they wanted out of journey but couldn’t accomplish the first go. If you like journey, play sky, children of the light
Early last year, while working on the next entry in the Life Is Strange franchise, a few developers at Deck Nine stumbled upon something that didn’t belong in their game: Nazi symbols....
Maybe they should have just done a dollar a month subscription that goes along with the game or give that as an option now to keep the server alive.
Even if it’s a couple bucks sure the most faithful adherence of the game would not really mind paying it. The biggest problem for me here is that they’re totally removing the consumer’s agency, their choice.
I agree with what someone else said in this thread that if the support goes away then the server’s code should go open source. By law.
I decided to try this game, almost 4 years after the PC release and 5 years after the PS release. To me it felt like this game got released a year ago, truly a patient gamer....
PS5 actually. It’s apparently a known issue and apparently it’s isolated to the PS5 because it has something to do with the second players game not loading right when you’re playing multiplayer couch co-op.
It’s a known issue with multiplayer on the PS5. I haven’t looked into it in a couple of weeks because I’ve had other things I had to deal with and have kept me from gaming but I plan to look into it again soon.
It could definitely still be a me issue. It could be some sort of weird corruption with the save gamer something like that. I’m really not looking forward to trashing the entire safe game and starting the game over though.
I’ve played it and still don’t understand the popularity. It’s neat that you can do just about anything to just about anyone… You can kill major plot characters if you want, steal shit and get sent to jail… I dunno.
I just hope that next time I try to load a game, it doesn’t hang the game. I’d like to continue playing it.
Yeah, it was probably project64 I was using. I get th FPGA is fantastic and allows for, basically reprogrammable hardware (think re-flashing all your firmware at the rate of a few KHz) but isn’t this a solution seeking a problem? I never had any real issues emulating N64, and it didn’t cost anything.
I’m not really seeing where the benefit of this product is. I hope the sell the crap out of it because it sounds cool, but I would never invest in the idea.
Hope I’m wrong for their sake. If I can’t remember the name of an emulator I used 13 years ago, hopefully that means I’m wrong about this too.
I wonder what they’re selling it for. FPGAs are about 150-300 off the shelf. Looks like the pocket is selling at 500-800 by scalpers, and I can see the demand for that. Maybe if the 3d plays all PS1, N64 and PS2 games, all in Super sharp 4k?
Regardless, this will be interesting to watch for further developments.
Rom play would be good. That would make sense, but I think it would definitely be a mistake to not fully leverage the FPGA and make it do other things. If you have the ability to change your processor into a different processor on the fly, and don’t, you should be using custom chip design instead of FPGA. In the long haul, that should be cheaper.
No, if they’re using FPGA, and advertising it, the consumer should expect this box to be a chameleon. Anything else would be a disappointment, just looking at their earlier work.
Still, it’ll be interesting to see what they do with it but I already know I can’t afford it.
Interesting. My understanding of field programmable gate arrays is that they were field programmable and therefore programmable in the field. Perhaps I’m mistaken. I’m just thinking that it would be foolish for them not to leverage this for higher profit. Their handheld has a MIDI sequencer… Something tells me that maybe they were leveraging it there too.
I recognize this sounds sarcastic but I don’t mean it to be. I’ve just never done any in-depth study into FPGAs, just a little bit of an intro to them when I was back in college an Eon ago. 😂
Took all my games out of their protective cases and dumped them out on the table. Sometimes it’s just satisfying to rummage through a bunch of carts, hold them in your hands, and admire the label art. Does anyone else periodically do this with their physical games?
hooooly shit! has anyone else played journey? (sh.itjust.works)
I feel like that game literally changed my life in the 2 hours or whatever it took me to play it....

I hate that everything now is a subscription service instead of buying it and do whatever you want.
