So, uh, you can find this at the apotheke museum on Heidelberg. It really means seed which, uh, is also fitting.

Found this old drawing I did back in the early 90s. Fun to see it again after all these years.

This is pretty absurd. First Press Games are selling 's game and won't return e-mails or messages. What's the deal @FirstPressGames? Heck, they JUST shipped an order out to me this week for a game I order in January 2021 (over two years ago).

Good afternoon @FirstPressGames
I have been sending you countless emails and DM messages for months and I still haven't received any kind of response.
Could you please reply as soon as possible?
Thanks in advance

Love this game! Purchased the Japanese version at launch and ploughed through it. It's wild what the team managed to achieve on the PS2 hardware.

I can, however, mention that this remake is absolutely sublime. Perhaps not quite a match for RE2's Remake but I like it NEARLY as much. It feels both faithful and completely fresh at the same time, which is exactly what I had wanted.

We'll be doing the same. It isn't possible to showcase the game properly just yet (basically just the demo area again and one other section) so our coverage will hit on launch day next week. We will talk demo changes and improvements in the DF Direct this week, however.

Capcom set some ridiculous limitations on content creation for the RE4 remake ahead of launch, the most stringent I've EVER seen. So my video won't be up until launch day when I can actually talk about it properly.

Ok, so maybe I’ll use GC footage for context and then do some comparisons with the HD version? Including both should work.

OK, looking for an opinion on covering Resident Evil 4 when we eventually get it. For comparisons, would you prefer I use the GameCube original or one of the HD re-releases?
- GameCube, of course60.8%
- Use the HD Version39.2%

This is pretty hilarious. I assume this is the result of PPSSPP being used as the default when entering your name in the name field (handled at the PSP OS level). Big whoops. PPSSPP is pretty good, though!

There might be no better example than Soukaigi from SquareSoft. It's ugly, clunky and unpolished but the soundtrack is one of the best ever produced for a video game!

Interesting differences with the RE4 demo. PS5 version has broken chromatic aberration - turn it off! RT is also worse. Xbox version has laggy controls with a large dead zone. PC version seems pretty great. We'll have more on this soon, of course!

Unsure how much they can address but something needs to be done. I simply cannot comprehend why they thought THAT type of game is what people were looking for.

Gosh darn it, Hero Wars. How much further can these ads go? Does anyone see this and think "gee, I should download Hero Wars right now." I guess you could argue the ads are working? :X

These VR videos take some time to produce but they sure are fun! RE Village is definitely one of the more impressive experiences you can have on PS VR2 at the moment! Check it out!

Resident Evil Village on PSVR2 - another must-play experience for Sony's new headset. Not without its issues, but a bespoke, intelligent rendition of the game. @dark1x has this for you: youtu.be/e5CA5DQFL-Y

There it is! A release date at last. Hoping this extra year of production and the chance to focus on fewer platforms will result in the most polished BGS game to date. Very excited to see how it turns out.

Almost finished with a video looking at Village VR. I went back to PSVR1 to capture some RE7 as well and, man, the leap in fidelity is far greater than I expected. PSVR1 is also still way less comfortable and has issues with lens fogging up. I sure wish BC were possible...

I decided to dig into Namco's use of the PlayStation derived System 11 board for many of its arcade games. While Sega had a similar approach with the ST-V, I found it interesting that Namco built its premiere fighting game with System 11 allowing for great home ports.

There were a lot of great games on Wii U but the hardware itself is terrible both from a consumer and development point of view (so I'm told). It's one of the worst pieces of hardware Nintendo ever developed and it's UI is even worse.
Quote Tweet
Things I liked about the Wii U: Miiverse, backwards compatible with Wii, NES Remix, Splatoon.
Things I disliked: Pretty much everything else. It was slow, it was clunky, it had little support. It was a depressing time to be covering Nintendo. twitter.com/NESbot_feed/st…

Alright, so I've been using this noise reduction VST plugin and, after updating, I've had difficulty getting it right. It seems to cut off a little abruptly after words. Has anyone used this and do you have recommended settings? Audio stuff drives me nuts - I just can't do it!

In this episode, you can hear my inane ramblings on why I think Call of Duty 4 kinda destroyed first-person shooters for years. It's a very well made game but it had a ripple effect on the industry that was not entirely positive. I suspect most will think I'm nuts (maybe I am?)
