    PS4's Dreams might just be the next-gen Minecraft

    PC Building Simulator is a thing, apparently. How very meta.

      So when do we get the Colecovision emulator in Minecraft?

    I see "digital downloads" of microcomputer romsets are all the rage on ebay. They include some funny "it's fine!" spiel about GNU licenses...I wonder how legit it really is?

      Do the sellers have any history? Or are they the eBay equivalent of twitter "egg" accounts?

      Emulators may be under the GPL but roms are definitely not... They would have to be under DMCA exception but I doubt reselling other companies IP would be.

      It won't work with the N8, apparently. Seems like MMC5 support was just enough to get Castlevania 3 to work.

    4. derFunkenstein

      derFunkenstein

      The N8 got a big OS update that supposedly rewrote MMC5 support so that all known MMC5 games worked. Of course, this wasn't a "known" game at the time, but there's a chance. Just waiting for mine to show up (on the UPS truck today).

  8. youxia

    Kinda miss when humblebundle was just selling simple bundles. Now it's all about GTA V, Cyberghost for 99$ and "add another 30$ to get something else than utuber's shout-out"

  9. youxia

    So Beyond Good and Evil, that super charming and innovative SP classic got turned into always-online, co-op and MP oriented thingymajig? Thanks, Ubisoft.

      I dunno - I agree. When someone makes a big out of 5% or 10% off, I have to say 'why even bother?'

      Their margin is probably only 10-20%...

      The original Mega Man series is up to 11. And that’s not counting X, Legends, Battle Network, and other spin-off series.

       

      Beisdes Mortal Kombat has the oposite problem of Street Fighter. Street fighter couldn’t count past 2 for a long time, but Mortal Kombat went from 10 (X) to 40 (XL) in the next sequel. Now they’re going back down to 11?

      Looks at Amp. These go to 11!

    "you may not be prepared for just how many ways Langrisser Mobile wants you to grind for resources and experience. There are literally dozens of currencies in this game"....another venerable classic bites the monetization dust

    Flickr followed a typical disruptor path and severely limited their free version. It's retroactive too, what a dick move.

      I went into my trash and found the announcement, which I ignored. I can understand why youxia is pissed off, when they put it this way:

       

      Free accounts will soon be limited to 1,000 photos or videos. Flickr isn't Flickr without the contributions and participation of our free members, and we remain committed to a vibrant, free offering.

    3. Keatah

      Keatah

      Flickr is irrelevant and $50 is too much. Buy yourself a USB HDD and store 400,000 photos and MORE!

      The ones you want to share, just email them to their intended recipient. And most forums allow you to post relevant pics as needed.

      I have liked games from both of those joints in the past. Hopefully the warm bosom of Microsoft will keep them safe.

      Nah, Halloween is about fun, imagination, make believe and trick-or-treating. It's not just horror and scares.

      Hmm... my favorite non-current gen game that I played for the first time this year is probably Deadly Creatures on Wii, though it's only 9 years old at this point so it's probably not quite "retro" yet. Just "old" lol

    2. Flojomojo

      How does Retro Game of the Year work? Favorite old game of this year regardless of when it came out?

    3. youxia

      Not sure how it works :) Just a retro game I liked the most this year I suppose.

      Another problem is trying to put creativity under corporate control. It's likely why every modern game seems shallow and the same as the next.

      Once again, Atariage is my breaking news source. TBH, I was kinda ready to give up on them BUT then I played Batman TEW and was blown away. That was awesome! Very sad it won't get a sequel.

      Bad management decisions and a one-trick-pony game formula did them in.
