Still, their E3 presentation back in 2006 was when they were forming cracks

Sony's E3 presentation is was merely Sony's arrogance finally catching up with it. They've always been arrogant, but that was them finally huffing their own farts and losing all sense of themselves. They came crashing back to Earth afterwards, but then they rode to an easy victory with the PS4 and its got them feeling themselves again.

Eurofags and Japs are very lucky to have great cover art.

All the better to slap a giant USK label on.

What is it with the Germans and their comically large age ratings? The rest of Europe has PEGI and they seem perfectly sufficient, unobtrusive on box art and aesthetically pleasing. They’re even green-to-red colour coded so the 18 rated stuff is in bold no-no warning red.

Is it like how Bongland game releases used to be rated by our film classification people? A lot of my old PS2 and Xbox 360 games have age ratings that look the same as the ones on DVDs because of that.

The only Spider-Man 2 port I want to see is the 2004 one. The PC version we got was terrible.

Agreed. You can, however, play the real Spider-Man 2 on PC through Dolphin Emulator. There are some texture packs available, one called Project RE is pretty extensive. There's a 60 FPS Action Replay code on the Dolphin wiki that auto-adjusts for FMV cutscenes, so that helps.

The only big problem is that recent versions of Dolphin broke the widescreen hack for the game. There's an AR code for 16:9 but it just zooms in and makes the game unplayable. If you want to play wider than the old 4:3 aspect ratio, I recommend grabbing an old version (older than 5.0-11841, where it broke) of Dolphin to play SM2 and using the widescreen hack in the old version.

someone might miss the age rating, can't have that (similar to the "explicit lyrics" label for music).
it's also in part due to germany being a bit of a nanny-state, guess you can never fully remove the nazi-ness: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Department_for_Media_Harmful_to_Young_Persons

Reception in Early Screenings for the Gran Turismo movie have been positive so far, although it's to be seen if that will translate into people actually watching it, and if the movie will make money. And that's also not taking into account if they were either "compensated" by Sony for the said reception, or Kaz kidnapped those people and forced them to watch the movie and give positive comments, at gunpoint, in his basement.

Hmm, this is like Tomb Raider 2018 or RE: Welcome to Racoon City. Early reviews were great because these "journos" were paid to say bullshit.

My real question is, what does Armond White think of it?

The day Sony died and they've never recovered since

It was also the real start of microtransactions and shit. I forget which company postulated it, but they were working on a PS3-exclusive racing game and said they wanted to release the game at full price. but you choose the cars available to you up to the equivalent amount you paid for the game, meaning there'd be other cars you'd have to pay extra for. Sound familiar? This was in 2006/2007, and it started up the "gamers don't own the games they buy, they just buy a license to play the game, which is always ours" rhetoric.

This sounded horrible back then and now we're waist-deep in it. Truly a cursed timeline.
