ICYMI I wrote about how brave it is that Aspyr is remastering the divisive Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness, and including it on a new collection, for a @damagecontrolblog post. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/10/the-angel-rises-from-darkness/

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about how bold it is for Aspyr to remaster Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness for the new collection. But will it be a mere remaster, or something more? https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/10/the-angel-rises-from-darkness/

ICYMI I wrote about a few Gokus Bandai Namco and Spike Chunsoft forgot in Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, along with a couple of other character variants, for a @damagecontrolblog post. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/10/fighting-games-friday-they-forgot-some-gokus-in-sparking-zero/

@silver_huskey Soul Hackers 2 was promoted on one of the Persona streams early on, but they didn't keep that up. But yeah, Metaphor resembles Persona in a way SH2 very much didn't.

@silver_huskey Definitely! I was worried after how Soul Hackers 2 performed, but the demo and reviews likely gave it a good push.

Impressive sales for Metaphor: ReFantazio to achieve out the gate (though the number likely also includes copies shipped to stores), and I’m sure the meaty demo helped. But I’m also wondering if it’s already outsold Soul Hackers 2, of if it's close to doing so. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/metaphor-refantazio-sells-1-million-copies-in-less-than-a-day

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about how Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is still missing some Gokus, despite having no shortage of them. I also included two other character variants. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/10/fighting-games-friday-they-forgot-some-gokus-in-sparking-zero/

@silver_huskey Thanks! This really means a lot.

@silver_huskey Thanks a lot. It might get harder from here, but we'll find a way to deal with it.

I’ve seen plenty of stories about dealing with people who have dementia, and all the symptoms associated with it like forgetfulness, delusions, and prolonged violent outbursts. But it’s something else to deal with it personally, especially when it’s with your own mother. It’s horrible stuff, but I know that the only way out of this is through it.

I just got started with The Legend of Vox Machina's third season this evening, and my first takeaway is that, man, Lance Reddick sure did a lot before his untimely passing. He's really going to be missed.

ICYMI I wrote about how PSOne Japanese RPGs like the old Persona titles, Breath of Fire III and IV, and Soul Hackers could use remasters, following a bunch of other released and announced titles, for a @damagecontrolblog post. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/10/cognition-dissemination-psone-japanese-rpgs-that-need-remasters-part-i/

@silver_huskey It's wild to think of how many sites could go with this, especially itch.io, but enshittification won't be stopped.

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about remasters of PSOne Japanese RPGs that I'd still like to see. The older Persona games are there, as are the Breath of Fire games. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/10/cognition-dissemination-psone-japanese-rpgs-that-need-remasters-part-i/

Star Ocean: First Departure R… woke!?

ICYMI I wrote about how the new Darkstalkers Gala content for Street Fighter 6 represents a strategic change with how Capcom is releasing DLC for this game for a @damagecontrolblog post. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/10/fighting-games-friday-night-warriors-of-the-world-tour/

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about how the Darkstalkers Gala for Street Fighter 6 is the newest evidence of Capcom’s shift in strategy with DLC outfits compared to Street Fighter V, and why this happened. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/10/fighting-games-friday-night-warriors-of-the-world-tour/
