@Scollurio ohhhh ok that’s a lot more fair lmao

I’m ok with stuff like Claude cause it allows people who struggle with code to get their ideas out but when that ai code is paired with aI imagery my sympathy runs dry. AI art in general rarely looks good and is despised by a majority of the population and for good reason at that.

@Scollurio so every person who makes stuff by hand should just give up and put all their skills into Grok?

This numbnuts changed his Twitter bio to solely credit himself for decoding the spritework when it was already revealed to say “Eternal Star” a decade ago. Please stop giving troglodytes like him attention.

@Sketcz Not surprising considering the guy in charge of the site is currently throwing a tantrum at people on Twitter cause they don't like his attempt at claudeslopping up an nes port of super mario crossover. Dude as a whole is a huge AI shill.

I’d be excited for this if ai imagery and code wasn’t overtaking the retro gaming scene like The Thing atm

It’s funny how Sega and Konami have basically swapped positions once the 2020’s dropped lol

What is it with the retro gaming scene specifically and bringing out the scummiest snake-oil salesmen in human history

@h3s just because pixel art nowadays isn’t as good as what you personally have nostalgia for doesn’t mean the garish slop ChatGPT vomits out is any better just cause you can tell it to skin walk as a retro SNK game, I don’t think I’ve ever met a denser person than you in my entire life jfc

@h3s “I didn’t put in the effort (10 seconds max) to look around the internet for countless people still hand-crafting pixel art, therefore that means the medium is extinct and we should rely on Tung Tung Sahur for all our video game artwork forever from now on.” STFU man

Tried going to the sizzle reel and was immediately met with a specialized 404. If this manages to outlast even google stadia I’ll be a Monkey’s Uncle.

“This is an incredible time to be alive for a creator” yeah man as a fellow artist it’s so incredible worrying if I’ll even be able to find a job or not as the industry faces mass layoffs and cancellations

@Exerion76 weird too cause for every 10 janky sloppy games you’ll get smth genre defining like Apidya or Retro Force. Retro Euro games in general are such a cointoss in terms of quality but that’s part of their charm imo.

@mjparker77 idk I think it looks good, reminds me a lot of strider 2 on the ps1 lol. Long as there’s no heavy GenAI usage I’m on board with it.

i remember back in 2021 playing through this game via an emulator and going "wow this is fun! i cant wait to play the sequels!"

If only I knew😭

If this doesn't get funded or gets shut down Y'all are gonna see me on national news

@CookieByte you think making unfunny meta jokes is worse than turning the imprisonment and murder of real world people into a video game?

The fact that SEGA's likely gonna do less about this then they did with smth like streets of rage remake makes me extremely angry

It’s crazy just how far Cave has fallen off the last decade or so, they’re so unbelievably washed at this point it’s not even funny

@axelhander my take on AI is this:

I don’t mind it as a tool or something people use as a fun novelty, but the second you want me to pay money for something made with it, you can go jump right onto the Eiffel Tower ass-first

I like how Yuzo Koshiro goes about it; he just harmlessly with it on social media, but makes sure not to put any of it in his retail projects

“I’ve never been one to play it safe”

proceeds to make the safest looking run and gun I’ve ever seen in my life

“I wanted to push AI to it’s limits”

Generates a handful of images and gifs to use for sprites

@Zeebor15 tbf this series HAS had a 3d game before, just one that was exclusive to japan lol

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps/573280-ninja-jajamaru-kun-onigiri-ninpouchou/images?pid=573280&page=9

I hate strictly limited so unbelievably much

@Moroboshi876 OOoooh no worries I understand man👍

@Moroboshi876 how do you look at this trailer consisting of awful ai renders and no gameplay and think it looks “great” let alone good😭

praying this is a compilation or pixel remaster and not whatever the fresh hell they did to Actraiser

@PowerPandaMods There's also Mega man DXtreme, a fan made ground up remake of the OG Mega Man Xtreme on the GBC.

Just released this year actually

Oh hey this looks coo-

“Available on IOS and Android”

🥶

Update: looked at the store page and it has predatory microtransactions as expected, I’d avoid this game like the plague

I CANNOT wait for that remake from the Tengo Project devs man, it’s been really great to see just how much care and spotlight Jaleco’s library has been getting the last few years

Yeah I’m good bro

@Cronodoug I don’t like AI but the true Hitler in this situation are the bloodsucking balding CEOs actively using it as a means to wage war on the workforce and art world, they need to be put in their place just as much if not more than the ai models themselves

Gradius is like Santa Claus

It doesn’t show up around a lot, but when it does you can guarantee you’re in for a real treat

@AndyVGR if you truly cared about this game, you’d know it getting a poorly functioning machine-made code makeover is unacceptable

We need to abolish Naughty Dog games honestly

seems like the only thing the Saudis are good at announcing is public executions

Maybe if they wanted me to buy their game they shoulda released it outside of Japan :]

Yeah aside from Megabonk every attempt at recreating vampire survivor’s thunder had ended in complete garbage. Knowing this is a mobile game I’m sure it’ll be stuffed to the gill with predatory practices as well.

@metaphysician Baldur's Gate 3 is good but does it directly reference the irl feud between Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carrey that started within a breakfast diner

Is it a stretch to say this might be the best licensed game of all time

Glad to see I can finally play this game in English without the soundtrack consisting mostly of Backrooms ambience lmfao

I can only imagine how hellish being a part of this program will end up being considering how SEGA treats their own creatives nowadays

this could've been great with the john wick director on board but looking at Jeymes filmography and the critical reception they've received...it's not looking great. Highly doubt this film will turn out well

Gee, I never would've guessed the guy who tried to erase his coworker and artist behind everything by crossing him out in photographs like the Riddler and proceeded to block everyone who brought his name up online over it all because a game he made underperformed was an awful person!!:0

Aw man that sucks! Why’d it get canned?

“First announced all the way back in 2014”

oh

Eh. I’ll pass, especially with that awful art style they’re using in cutscenes and promo material

Mega man fans gotta be the most cracked fanbase in terms of creative power cause it’s seemingly every new month I see a fangame get made that’s not only impressive but also progressing really smoothly through development

@Porco TBF America's government isn't forcing it's devs to include people who personally entertained the tyrant in power there in their media like what the Saudi Prince did for City of the Wolves lol

How much you wanna bet they're gonna include an IRL Saudi influencer who has more allegations than P. Diddy in it as a new playable soldier

Buying this and intentionally lighting it on fire so I can sue him

That chud Fonsie could learn a thing or two from this game as a whole lmao

And the fact this is the BETTER of the two Doom movies
