Probably not a reliable source but Gravity Rush on PC would be an absolute banger
Played about an hour of Atelier Ryza, and while I had a feeling the game would have some male gaze stuff in it - and I have somewhat of a tolerance for that - the terrible character design of Lila tipped me over the edge.
I’m gonna give it another try, but that kind of character design is just embarrassing to play when your partner is going to be watching you play sometimes.
At this point they should invest in bringing both games to PC and PS5 as a remaster collection if they actually want them to succeed.

Sigh. I love Gravity Rush, but is this going to be a case of Sony releasing the sequel on PC and then wondering why no one’s bought it. Bet it’ll be full price too.

New Atelier Game In Development
Following the commencement of the half-year anniversary of Atelier Resleriana, the head of Gust has teased a new game in development.

I agree in terms of what they should do if they actually want it to succeed, but from my perspective they can also just release the sequel on PC if they want to. I actually own the original on Vita but never had a chance to play the sequel, and it's the one Sony game still missing from PC that I really do want to play.

I really want to believe but, not sure with this one, tbh. This, GoT and SotC are the ones I legit want the most, so, having 2 out of 3 would be a WIN WIN, but again, why news in May when movie is still far away? We shall see.
As someone who loves both of them, yeah, I think they would benefit from releasing both titles as a full collection and I bet porting the PS4 version of GR1 wouldn't be an impossible task, but I will also take whatever they give me from Kat
A collection for a moderate price makes sense, so Sony won't do that.
Also GR2 is worse than GR1. Goes into reeeeally weird places by the end of it...

8bit updated some of their controllers with HAL.
I played GR1 recently, PS4 remaster/redux.
Despite shortcomings, it is fully of creativity. Decent length, finished less than 10 hours if not pursuing challenges.
GR1+GR2 should be bundled.
I think Sony’s PC releases are still by and large PS5-led. If something gets a PS5 remaster, it gets a PC version too.
So backwards compatibility of PS5 is kind of a hindrance for some series, like Uncharted, where PS5 owners get the full set and PC players just get the ones that have been recently worked on.
They need to shift that thinking if they want their PC efforts to be more than some extra pocket money on the side of their main console business.
There’s some amazing potential there, even if only for back catalogue games, so long as they put the work in.

Getting Gravity Rush 2 but not 1 kinda sucks but at the same time it's a franchise that is so dead I'm just really happy to get any port at this point.
I think that Ryza is not a good starting point if you want to try an Atelier but at the same time want to avoid male gaze issues. I would start with Arland (Totori) or Dusk (Ayesha)
Also, Mystery Dungeon but Touhou (for the 3rd time):
If it's pretty early on, I'm pretty sure I know the place (Cragscleft Prison).
The zombies there scared me terribly. Still do, probably. Fortunately, they are slower than rheumatic snails; you can pretty much ignore them unless cornered. If you want to "clean" the level, there are a couple of holy water fonts around in that level. One holy arrow (two if alerted) will dispatch them with a mighty enjoyable POP!
If ever you decide to try Thief again, know that there are much fewer non-human enemies in Thief 2. Go directly to Thief 2, it's by far the best, imo (and that's a nearly universally shared opinion in the Thief fanbase). Thief 2 = Thief 1, but mechanically more refined, and with larger, more interesting levels.
I crossed the border and went grocery shopping in France...

Registrations are open for the closed beta of an upcoming Bandai Namco's game, Synduality Echo of Ada, seems to be a pvpve extraction shooter game with mechs. PC is included in the test and it's taking place in the end of the month.
hopefully some interesting stuff here. Been wanting to see more of Kunitsu-Gami since it was revealed last summer
My girlfriend actually got that cake for me last year lolI crossed the border and went grocery shopping in France...

it was alright, chocolaty on the inside.
Yuzu is dead.
Further Nintendo emulators are soon to be dead, because I can't see Nintendo not following on them.
PCSX2, PPSSPP and RPCS3 as well, becuse why not.
No need for legal precedent when bullying works.
Damn, I thought Yuzu would fight it since they got so much money but I guess their lawyer said it's safer to just give it away (probably didn't earn more than that) and gtfo. I guess less rich projects like Ryujinx will fold at first notice (they don't earn nearly as much money, but maybe its success made it worse for Yuzu too).
Funny how triggered all the pirates are though, yeah, NOW you won't be paying for Nintendo (what about Sony, they've killed Lik Sang, Bleem & have also sued Connecitx, PS3 and PS4 crackers/hackers and the Internet Archive, are you still eagerly paying for their PC ports now they're desperate for that market or just because you aren't used to emulating their currently supported systems because there wasn't that much demand for it to fund emulator developers to begin with, plus you'd need way higher specs for such an emulator?), as if you ever did, lol. Also, Switch was perfectly fine for 2017 hw, what are we comparing it to, a $1500+ 2021+ iPad (full M1 soc) that may finally kinda run downgraded next gen games like RE4? Or an imaginary Deck 2 that isn't even coming soon considering Deck 1 came so much later, so much pricier, yet isn't even much higher resolution or anything? Come on, be real with your insults @ objects.
Sigh, VR indie dev made gleam contest giving away 10x quest 3 and 100x copies of their game, I guess things didn't go so well and they quietly delete it. On the one hand, understandable if they can't pay for that shit, on the other, don't scam folks. Idk if I should make a fuss about it, it seems nobody knows of it even though the contest got a lot of traction, probably from people who don't even know of the game lol, just the contest link spreading.

the worst is not the amount of money they will pay, the worst it's they will shut yuzu down.
Horrible news for the scene.
Can fuck all big corpos deffenders there're a lot of them everywhere, you're so stupid, I hope Switch 2 get cracked day one.

People are still going distribute yuzu all over the internet but ceasing development is a loss for everybody. Ryujinx is probably next.
Boycotting never works (like ever), but for my part, I'm never going to give a dime to buy their pieces of shit outdated consoles. Piece of shit fucking company.
2 million is actually pretty cheap. Would have expected Nintendo to bleed them for even more money. But it shows what the real intention here is, to quickly shut down all Switch emulation. If that goes well, Nintendo will likely go after WiiU and all other systems as well, for sure
Crazy they agreed to pay such a large sum lol. It really does show how much $$$ there is in this market.
I remember when BOTW first emulated on Cemu or wtvr....the team behind the emulator started locking updated version of the emulator behind a paywall iirc. You basically had to pay unless you wanted to emulate a choppy 30fps version of BOTW. So yea you kinda got the feeling stuff like this would eventually happen.
Emulation doesn't need any type of marketing and internet hype behind it. Especially the type that empowers these sites to start plastering images, roms and software they don't own via their servers.

My stance on emulation will always be pro-emulation. Especially when hardware makers discontinue the sales of said consoles/hardware. Once they do anything goes in my book so they can fuck off.
Because financially and fundamentally speaking you can't lose money if you refuse to earn it.
Switch emulation was really wild tho and different than anything in the past. And really showed how dated the hardware was and how fast/advanced the CPU/GPU tech has ballooned in the PC space.

Nintendo has always taken issue with people making money out of their stuff even if it’s legal, it is the same when they they went out of their way to fuck with Smash tournaments becuase money was involved.
To be honest, I never downloaded Yuzu, until today, and I would not be surprised if more folks are doing the same
Absoulute hostage situation. They're shutting down the Discord server as well
yuzu download site is already down:
yuzu-emu.org

Get Citra while you can, what sucks is that even though it's for much older hw it too wasn't complete since they focused on Yuzu as it made much more money so many games still don't run well even on really good hardware, it's not like say, PS or DC emus that even if they stop now they are 99% there so noone cares.
if anybody wants the lastest yuzu & citra releases I downloaded them today to mantain mine updated:

Potential Humble Bumble leak for this month
(the hyperlinks are wrong in the reddit post and I'm not fixing them)
There is Old Atelier and Nu-Atelier
Maybe I am biased (because I can't get into Open world Atelier without time constraints)
but the old-school Ateliers felt more Pro-Woman than the newer entries
Sure, there were cute girls, but I never felt they were sexualized or played to a male audience.
It was cute girls and women doing cute things and work. And it was about the women and not male fantasies. They would have aced the Bechdel test with ease. Not so sure about the newer games.
Nioh 2 Complete edition is a great pickup. Might get this bundle this months
You know the funny thing about Yuzu? I have like 20 Switch games on my Steam deck, all of them run like a dream and I haven't beaten a single one of them lmao. When it comes to emulation the one that I've used the most is RPCS3 which I used to finally beat MGS4 and Uncharted 1
Fuck all the way off, Nintendo
Guess they'll just bully all emulators into deletion whilst the bootlickers cheer on

This is a shame. To be honest, while I appreciate what you're saying, I don't really have any interest in spending more money on the series right now. My backlog is big enough and I have a lot of games, and I was led to believe Ryza would be the best place to start so I think for the time being I'm going to write off this series and maybe come back to Ryza in the future if I'm really short of things to play.
My girlfriend saw me playing Ryza and she said "this looks like a perv game", and to be honest I couldn't really argue there. She's generally quite tolerant of Japanese games I play that have suspect character designs and a bit of a male gaze, so I think my gut instinct that Ryza is off in a way that's just too far was the right one.
It's a shame because fans of the series are obviously very enthusiastic about it, and I really wanted to like it, but there we go.
In for Nioh 2! Good thing I've already played through Afterimage and haven't let it sit in my library, or I would have felt a bit annoyed, lol. Great game tho, the bundle's worth it for it alone if you like Metroidvanias.
Citizen Sleeper looks interesting too.
