True Lies is one of the few cases of a Hollywood remake being better than the original film.

 Wed Jun 01 20:00:13 +0000 2016

I don't think he can do funny. Which is why he had to steal the funny from the French and put action in it.

I wish the Hollywood version of The Tall Man in One Red Shoe was actually good. Beautiful spy comedy. Fucking ruined.

 Wed Jun 01 20:07:44 +0000 2016

Retained all cut current, but the art choices are very questionable, especially the closeups. 2 music tracks swapped.

 Wed Jun 01 20:10:04 +0000 2016

Moriarty and Ferrari didn't supervise either of the conversions. The art team didn't coordinate with each other.

What? A shot by shot American remake of Martyrs was released this year? AND it had most of the violence removed???

 Wed Jun 01 20:20:22 +0000 2016

I don't mind studio remakes. Look at Some Like It Hot, True Lies, or... idk... Three Men and a Baby? The Birdcage? Good stuff.

 Wed Jun 01 20:25:08 +0000 2016

Shit, even stuff like Pure Luck or Fathers Day is funny, if you haven't seen the original. Worse, but shot-by-shot approach mostly works

Yes, Magic Carpet is like that, although the "building" element is rather minimal.

Just got 5 different suggestions. I'm gonna assume the correct answer is "whichever one works" then.

 Wed Jun 01 22:04:30 +0000 2016

I'm gonna play a game on Windows and then on the PSX and see what happens

 Wed Jun 01 22:10:57 +0000 2016

Hmmmm.... I don't think I can recall that many applications early on. I mostly stuck to games.

 Wed Jun 01 22:11:54 +0000 2016

Heart of Darkness is a great game. It's a shame that it's so forgotten. Probably because of its style that makes it look like a kids game.

I have both, but I've never played the PSX version

 Wed Jun 01 22:29:05 +0000 2016

Ok, played through the first level of Heart of Darkness on PC to refresh my memory a little bit. Everything is just like I remember.

 Wed Jun 01 22:31:08 +0000 2016

Yeah, it's essentially the same game again.

 Wed Jun 01 22:38:20 +0000 2016

Ok, started Heart of Darkness on PSX via ePSXe. So far it's absolutely identical.

 Wed Jun 01 22:39:12 +0000 2016

The game's presentation is so fantastic. Incredible animation, beautiful orchestral score, and the SOUND, it really strands out so much.

 Wed Jun 01 22:42:12 +0000 2016

I just wish you could skip those super long cutscenes >:(

 Wed Jun 01 22:42:49 +0000 2016

Ok, so the in game sound seems to be in a lesser quality in the PSX version. And the video backgrounds are more compressed.

 Wed Jun 01 22:50:10 +0000 2016

At the same time you don't get the annoying palette shift blink that gives away a full screen animation in the PSX version. That's better.

 Wed Jun 01 22:51:17 +0000 2016

Windows on the left, PSX on the right

 Wed Jun 01 22:55:01 +0000 2016

PSX version is heavy on compression artifacts

 Wed Jun 01 22:56:46 +0000 2016

Especially weird considering that Windows version is on one CD, while the PSX one is on two.

 Wed Jun 01 22:57:19 +0000 2016

Yes

 Wed Jun 01 22:59:08 +0000 2016

Yes, obviously. I'm just surprised that they didn't use the extra CD space to compensate.

 Wed Jun 01 23:00:37 +0000 2016

Nice. Maybe someone can finally fix that damn elevator then.

 Wed Jun 01 23:03:09 +0000 2016

I know its dev story well. It's just fucking weird that the PSX cds are only half full.

 Wed Jun 01 23:04:04 +0000 2016

I know that. The game itself is pretty much Another World again.

 Wed Jun 01 23:06:50 +0000 2016

Still a good game. As for legendary games with shitty climax and ending: Half-Life.

 Wed Jun 01 23:08:08 +0000 2016

Hmmm... Yeah, I didn't take that into consideration.

 Wed Jun 01 23:13:04 +0000 2016

Well, since I have ePSXe installed now, might as well give Skullmonkeys a whirl again,

 Wed Jun 01 23:14:07 +0000 2016

Skullmonkey is a bad fucking game. I'm sorry. It's like a shittier Donkey Kong Country. But the presentation is amazing.

 Wed Jun 01 23:15:25 +0000 2016

Certain Douglas T. says he thinks Skullmonkeys is a better game than Earth Worm Jim. And that makes me question his design philosophies.

 Wed Jun 01 23:18:32 +0000 2016

Yes, I didn't really consider slow drive speed and ram a factor when I said that. The cds are half empty though.

 Wed Jun 01 23:19:11 +0000 2016

Certainly a much better game than Skullmonkeys.

 Wed Jun 01 23:22:25 +0000 2016

If you've never played Skullmonkeys, you really should. Just for the graphics and music.

 Wed Jun 01 23:23:30 +0000 2016

I also haven't seen anyone post the Little Bonus Room song as one of their favorite game tunes. Come on, it's great! https://youtu.be/Al0XOLM9FPw

 Wed Jun 01 23:24:58 +0000 2016

How is it interesting? The game is boring as fuck. That's the opposite of interesting.

 Wed Jun 01 23:25:38 +0000 2016

Alright, I can do that. When do you guys record?

 Wed Jun 01 23:26:52 +0000 2016

Windows game indeed works in a 640x480x8 mode. Don't know about the PSX one.

 Thu Jun 02 01:00:56 +0000 2016

There are plenty of DOS games in 1997, however, there's still 82 and up to consider. Next video one is likely to be on 1992, not 96

 Thu Jun 02 01:03:03 +0000 2016

Yes. PSX version also seems to be in high color mode vs 8-bit color in Windows.

What don't you want to spoil? We all played it. It was all a dream. OR WAS IT?

 Thu Jun 02 01:22:02 +0000 2016

Then it would haven been limited to 16 colors, which it's clearly not.

 Thu Jun 02 01:42:26 +0000 2016

Yes, indeed. AW really has a strong finale, while HoD runs out of steam. But I still find the gameplay rewarding.

 Thu Jun 02 01:43:57 +0000 2016

I backed it. I played it. I was disappointed.

Legal Crime is a 1997 multiplayer only game that's similar to Gangsters.

Fighting games tended to have very good PC ports in the 90s.

Another unexpected surprise from @NightDiveStudio: "D" is now available on GOG https://www.gog.com/game/d_the_game

 Thu Jun 02 18:37:25 +0000 2016

Renaming it to "D: The Game" was a smart move, but now all I see is 😲 The Game

 Thu Jun 02 18:41:05 +0000 2016

And I didn't even make any "do you want the D?" jokes!

 Thu Jun 02 18:42:14 +0000 2016

"LAURA!"
D is also known as "Interlacing: The Game"

 Thu Jun 02 18:45:26 +0000 2016

Gotta grab that D?

 Thu Jun 02 18:45:58 +0000 2016

Also you can't start a tweet with just a D because that's Twitter's stupid thing for a direct message. >:(

 Thu Jun 02 18:51:46 +0000 2016

I understand that nowadays PC means Windows. Because it's like "Platforms: PC/Linux..." I can have both on the same machine!

 Thu Jun 02 20:18:39 +0000 2016

But it's not like MS-DOS was on something other than IBM PC, which is what's being referred to as PC for three decades now.

 Thu Jun 02 20:20:06 +0000 2016

And before you tweet me about MS-DOS variations for some other machines, let me ask you if you can run D for MS-DOS on them.

 Thu Jun 02 20:29:44 +0000 2016

If this game is making any debut, it's a digital distribution one. That would still be a nice headline.

 Thu Jun 02 20:30:31 +0000 2016

No. PC-98 handled quite a few things differently. I'm not an expert on it, but I know that much.

 Thu Jun 02 20:32:11 +0000 2016

What do you mean, "nothing"? it had a lot to do with IBM pc, last but not least the processors.

 Thu Jun 02 20:34:43 +0000 2016

I will always strain myself when it comes to things like that. Also, it's only tweeting.

 Thu Jun 02 20:36:22 +0000 2016

That's the case. Also it's called doing research. It doesn't take long.

Yes, it turns out that on the PSX you can skip cutscenes the 1st time around, or maybe it's just the intro.

Definitely can't skip the intro in the PC version.

As a person who was in "non-debt", it's debt. It's real. You can get sued over it, and it affects your credit score.

It's not just letter, phone calls, and people literally knocking on your door. There companies have

 Mon Jun 06 19:38:19 +0000 2016

access to your credit score. Which is used for EVERYTHING of any importance here. They can FUCK UP your life.

 Mon Jun 06 19:38:48 +0000 2016

They also have the right to garnish your wages. They can do a lot to you. And they do.

 Mon Jun 06 19:39:28 +0000 2016

No, that they can't do. But not all debt is past statue. The statue is 4-6 years, with them being able to

affect your credit score for another 3 years on top of that.

I keep forgetting that IBM only bought Lotus in the 90s. I meant Lotus, of course

 Fri Jun 10 19:21:32 +0000 2016

I played through a lot of it last year for the first time in years. And it was even more boring than I remembered.

 Fri Jun 10 19:22:05 +0000 2016

My issues with Quake 2 is not that it's a *bad* game, but it's just so awfully bland. It gets terribly boring around the half way point.

 Fri Jun 10 19:27:32 +0000 2016

Quake 2 runs out of all of its tricks very early on, and after that it's just "ok, I'll guess I'll just keep going."

 Fri Jun 10 19:28:14 +0000 2016

And the super bullet spongy enemies aren't helping the matters.

 Fri Jun 10 19:28:45 +0000 2016

I wouldnt say that it's a pinnacle of the *genre*, but it definitely is of abstract level design

 Fri Jun 10 19:29:51 +0000 2016

Well, to be fair, it's not like Quake 1, a game I hold in high regards, had a particularly great ending either.

 Fri Jun 10 19:31:07 +0000 2016

There's no such thing.

 Fri Jun 10 19:31:47 +0000 2016

I mostly play games that predate Vista by decades, so I don't really have that issue.

 Fri Jun 10 19:32:36 +0000 2016

Haven't tried it.

 Fri Jun 10 19:48:48 +0000 2016

Not it wasn't. Even Quake 3 caught a lot of shit for not including a single player campaign.

You're naming a span of half a decade, which is a lot for gaming. And Diablo games and Starcraft had stellar SP.

So does Doom. What does that have to do with anything?

 Fri Jun 10 21:01:35 +0000 2016

I'm not denying it, I'm just saying that in 97-98, mp was not *more* important. *As* important, *maybe* by 99-2000.

I'm judging the game as a whole. I also specifically said that it's not a *bad* game, but a bland one.

 Fri Jun 10 21:21:18 +0000 2016

Yep. Daikatana's co-op is great. It's especially great today, when games often forego co-op altogether. https://x.com/KlaessCulptures/status/741379754604044290

 Fri Jun 10 21:22:16 +0000 2016

I've spent a ton of the late 90s - early 2000s in smoky Russian lan clubs playing Quake 3 and Counter-Strike. Those were the days.

 Fri Jun 10 21:24:40 +0000 2016

Other people in the same clubs played StarCraft and Unreal Tournament.

 Fri Jun 10 21:25:22 +0000 2016

But at that time essentially only Q3 got away with having a shitty SP campaign. Because it was the mighty Quake.

 Fri Jun 10 21:26:44 +0000 2016

I do miss it. Played through the first episode of Duke3D in co-op with a random person online recently. It was lots of fun.
