Sounds pretty similar to what happened to the PSVita. Sony tought that there was no reason to support a portable console anymore. Pretty funny, now that we have seen the absolute boom of the Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck.

do you guys think this game needs a remake? in c/[email protected]

To be fair:

  • it got a remaster; a remake is usually something that recreates the game from scratch.
  • DMC1 did not age that well in terms of gameplay, imo, as much as DMC3 did; it's a little stiffy! But it is true that it still plays much better than many PS2 games.

GTA games are the epitome of shallowness, for me. The story is always so vague and not interesting, you never get attached to characters. Gameplay is a boring loop, but its strength has always been being some sort of theme park. But it's 2024 and "hop onto a game just to go fast on car and shoot a couple of civilians"

Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Like Pokémon, nintendo developers know fans will buy new games regardless of how much new content there is to it. There is no legitimate reason for the game to be so close mechanically to its Gamecube entry, and I find it an insult to long time fans.

It makes sense, but I highly suggest to try and see visual novels as reading material with mixed media (e.g. music). Many are very mid, but some do excel: Higurashi and Umineko are a great example of that.

Do you have anything to suggest? Me and a friend would like to re-dive into minecraft as a cozy co-op experience but we both have some experience with it from 2010-2018 and the new stuff that came out the last few years just don't look that convincing.

I've seen modpacks mentioned, but there's so many I don't know where to start

Protective case or not? (www.spigen.com)
 

I've never really put a protective case on my handheld consoles (NDS, Vita, 3DS). However, the Steam Deck is more expensive and weighs much more, meaning that even a small height fall could more easily damage it.

I was thinking about the Spigen "Thin Fit Pro", which seems to be a tad more premium than what is usually on the market. It seems to be cut out to fit in an official dock, but I have my doubts.

What's your take on this?

Scraping naming conventions for PSP backups? (feddit.it)

Hello all! I hope someone checks the community here on lemmy. Yesterday I copied some backups to my retrodeck's installation on the Steam Deck, togheter with a psx backup. The latter got recognized fine by the in-built scraper using screenscraper.fr with an account, however the PSP ones did not.

I tried various names and I also tried to toggle on interactive mode. Any suggestions?

Edit: aaaand of course I fix it in around ten minutes after posting this, even if I tried for hours yesterday. The solution was to TURN OFF interactive mode (found it suggested in a patch by EmulationStation-DE) and change the name of the ACTUAL FILES (not the ES-DE scraper search) to the ones found on screenscraper.fr for the game you like.

Of course this is only a solution for small libraries with few selected titles, but it does work for me.

Adult casts in (J)RPGs, a list (backloggd.com)

Hi! I've been working on a list of RPGs (mostly japanese or j-influenced somewhat) in which the cast is mostly adults. The list is hosted on backloggd.

Leaving it here both in case it may be useful to anyone, but also in case you spot any missing titles that you believe should be added :) cheers!

P.S: the only reason for not taking western RPGs into consideration is because.. well, most of them already feature adult casts. Think series such as Divinity, Shadowrun, Baldur's Gate, etc. However, those usually play dramatically different when compared to the JRPG-style turn-based combat.
