The sprites they use for the iOS ports don't look quite so shitty on extremely high-density displays like iOS devices tend to have, but they're still a step down.

[Disposable Ninja]

Oh, wow: Child of Light, it turns out, is something I'm actually really looking forward to. I had no idea.

[Sharkey]

A history of Final Fantasy

I'm recognizing whole blocks of that from elsewhere, and given all the shifts in tone it's a pretty safe bet that whole damn thing is a bunch of other articles haphazardly pasted together with a few poorly written linking paragraphs crammed in between. Hell, he didn't even manage to delete all the wikipedia footnotes[15].

I bet /r/gaming ate this shit right up.

Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator seems relevant to the discussion over in the Star Trek thread and our many massive boners over naval-analogue space exploration.

[Mongrel]

Oh shit, how many of us have that?

Because that actually sounds like stupid good fun (and is cheap!), only it REALLY requires a critical mass of friends playing. 

EDIT: Based on my own friendslist, nobody has it. 

[Brentai]

Don't get too excited.  First, the thing just came out today, and second, you kind of need a critical mass of friends in the same room with separate PCs to play it as intended.

[TA]

So, what you're saying is MAGFest.

[Mongrel]

Don't get too excited.  First, the thing just came out today, and second, you kind of need a critical mass of friends in the same room with separate PCs to play it as intended.

Oh. I thought it says right on the game profile that you can play online. I would assume you need Skype/mics for that, but it's doable, no?

[Brentai]

As intended.  There is an online mode but I suspect it's very dull to be, like, some kind of nav officer in your own room in your underwear listening to everyone else talk over each other.

[Büge]

Remember that episode of The Simpsons where Mr. Burns finds out he doesn't have any money left?

Well, the same thing is happening to Capcom.

[Zaratustra]

please say that means they'll have to sell their IP

[François]

That's exactly what they'll do, if by "their IP" you mean "more DLC".

[Thad]

That implies they'll actually SELL more DLC.

[Smiler]

I've been saying for years that Capcom is actively trying to go out of business. I'm proud that they are succeeding.

[Mothra]

B-but what will become of humble Traingun????

Lost Planet 2 - Waysiders, train-cannon + Over G Akrid FMV

[Smiler]

Did you even see Lost Planet 3? They went back to 1's forgetableness.

[Mothra]

What was weird about Lost Planet 3 was that it struck me as genuinely embarrassing. The shit that goes on in LP2 or RE5 is so far beyond the limits of shame that they frolick, like children, in the fields of abstract, wild indulgence. Nothing is sacred.

And yet, it took until Lost Planet 3 — a nightmarishly bland Dead Space ripoff that tore out every shred of joy and character a Capcom game might possibly have — for that company to produce a truly embarrassing product.

[Pacobird]

Dragon's Dogma is yet another game with a really awesome concept (Monster Hunter as an open WRPG!) executed pretty well with one specific decision that's almost impressive in how totally it ruins the whole thing.

[Smiler]

I don't know what that one thing is. All I know is Capcom missed the point of the whole thing by making a vita exclusive that is sidescrolling with up to 8 pawns, so I guess they figured what their fans wanted was patapon.
