I mean it's a 14 year old game isn't it?

If I had a dog that was born in 2011 I would call him old.

I personally think games age faster than dogs ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[–] Hafler@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

It's impossible for it to be old. They keep releasing it, making it new every time. Just last week, they announced that it will be released on my toaster this summer.

It's from 2011, of course it's old.

[–] Elkot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It is an old game, technically it was an old game when it was released

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I’m glad no new Elder Scrolls game is coming out. With the enshittification of Bethesda, the announcement of TES6 coming out would just hype everyone only for it to be a buggy, microtransaction-filled trashcan. See Starfield.

I’m more hyped for Skyblivion than for TES6.

What the fuck? Yes. Yes we fucking are. MAKE ANOTHER ELDER SCROLLS GAME, YOU ASSBAGS!

The horrible thing is that it doesn't have to suck.

Take Gamebryo, make Skyrim in a new map, new quests, scale it up for modern hardware a little, hire some voice actors and sell it. They could give everyone exactly what they expect.

They just won't. Everything has to be some grandiose overhaul for the sake of bullshit when it comes to Todd Howard and Microsoft.

It's gonna be shitty, expensive, AND buggy.

Look forward to the disappointment or just accept that late stage capitalism has ruined all of our lives and everything that we enjoyed, and it's only going to get worse.

[–] Aux@feddit.uk 5 points 1 month ago

That's how every TES game was: shitty, expensive and buggy. With zero bugs fixed after a decade since the release. Bethesda is extremely consistent, I'll give them that.

I'm looking forward to checking out the re-make that's about to drop of one of my old favorite games. Lunar: Silver Star Story. I still have my PS1 version.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They're remaking Lunar?

I hope they remaster Wings (the intro song).

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago

I kind of used the wrong word, really. They aren't doing so much as they did with FF7. It's more like just a re-master. It'll run in wide-screen, have some qol improvements for inventory, upscale graphics, lots of music, audio, and cutscene improvements, and some other little stuff, as well as retro mode that will make it all look and sound and appear just like it was 30 years ago.

I've been waiting for its release for like 6 months, but it actually drops just next week on ps4/ps5, pc, switch, and xbone.

Even though I've been waiting, I'm not sure if I'll get it next week right away or not. They're releasing physical copies on amazon for $55, but the digital copy is still $50. I'm a PC gamer, so I'll probably wait until that price gap is bigger if I'm only going to have a digital copy.

Also, it's Lunar 1 and 2 bundled together, so two classics.
