Is that the new Capcom game? Are there any signs of woke shit?
Yes, and as far as I can tell, there are no signs of any woke retardation to be found. Heavily steeped in Japanese culture and iconography. The main female character is attractive and there were no signs of useless and recently inspired sexuality, politics and whatnot. The game seems to be from a bygone era.

That's absolutely incredible considering Capcom is one of the worst offenders from Japan.

this, Capcom is knee-deep in Gender Ideology, theres a certain amount of disagreeable shit I can tolerate, but blatant marketing to mentally ill troons as if they are a legitimate target audience immediately turns me off from a game.

Yep, I'm surprised someone was able to convince the higher ups and CrapCom to greenlight his passion project. Probably was able to call in some massive favors. Would be surprised if this breaks even, though I would like to see that. But yeah, almost unbelievable that we are getting this kind of game from an AAA developer in 2024.
 
Companies like LRG and now RedArtGames are starting to become very predatory with how they're basically holding Japanese games hostage and it's really fucking pissing me off.
Starting to become predatory? I never heard of RedArtGames, but Limited Run Games have been dicks since day 1. Instead of making enough copies to meet demand, they instead used artificial scarcity in order to pander to the scalper "collector" market.
 
Just finished Captain America: Super Soldier. Is good. Went online to see what other Arkham likes are other there. I know of Captain America of course. Sleeping Dogs, Mad Max, Shadow of Mordor, maybe Death By Degrees. But an internet search brings up results I have to believe are AI made because it includes things like Disco Elysium and Deus Ex.

I would like to hear more about this holding Japanese games hostage thing, whats going on exactly and why?
I don't know, but if their past is anything to go by, it's getting the rights to some obscure game (or in the case of Shantae, paying for the game to be finished) and then making the only way to get it be through one of their physical releases. I don't know if they still do this, but LRG used to under supply their games. Even pre-ordering wasn't enough because those that did bulk orders (ie. scalpers) got priority.

From now on I might just post found beta and alpha and prototype games I find interesting here, I posted one in the gta thread a while back where someone found an alpha of manhunt where the game is very early in development.

I thought this was interesting, someone found a early copy of lego indiana jones 1 month before final release, page has some videos showing differences.
Dead to Rights on the xbox, which is kind of like a good max payne clone, 1 month before final release.

thinking the Switch 2 launches with a new 3d mario, Nintendo USUALLY launches a new console with either a Zelda or a 3D Mario

I'm really curious what the future plans are for smash, will they just port ultimate? Can they even do that with how many licenses are tied to that game? Will they scale way back and become lame like every fighting game has?

That was actually listed in the "coming soon" lists in stuff like Nintendo Power in 2005.

I know Foodfight! was a terrible movie but reading up on it the production team was so incompetent that there was zero chance it was going to be "Toy Story but food instead of toys", even in 2005.

Porting isn't necessary if it's backwards compatible (though both Wii and Wii U received new Smash games, so it's expected Switch 2 will be the same).

The big question is how different the Switch 2 will be different from the original Switch. The Switch is a reboot of the portable lines and console lines alike, and both of them have been different. The NES, SNES, N64, and GameCube weren't compatible with each other but provided massive graphical updates between them, with the N64 and GameCube getting massive controller changes. Everyone rags on the N64 controller but the GameCube controller had quirks too, still no Select button or equivalent, only one shoulder button. The Wii had the new control system but the first backwards compatible console (not fully, no Game Boy Player support), the Wii U dropped GameCube support (as did late-era Wii models), the Switch was new.

The Game Boy line was fully compatible up to the DS (no GB/GBC support), then the 3DS (no GBA support). I wonder how Nintendo will make a good Switch competitor by doing something big enough to warrant another console but not go full retard with a gimmick.

The original DS could only play physical GBA games, not GB/GBC ones, at least not officially. Then the DSi dropped support for the GameBoy Advance. It can run games still via flashcarts with performance issues, and I bet it's because Nintendo could've removed the processor that handled GBA compatibility in earlier DS models.

The GB/GBC games had a unique processor that the GBA had internally but wasn't in the DS. It makes some sense on some levels but Game Boy Color games were still popular (into 2002-2003, there were still Game Boy Color games on store shelves; after all, it was 100% compatible with GBA).
 
The big question is how different the Switch 2 will be different from the original Switch. The Switch is a reboot of the portable lines and console lines alike, and both of them have been different.
The hybrid form factor of the Switch is more an answer to the fact that home consoles had reached a point of diminishing returns while portable consoles (including Sony handhelds) were naturally catching up and progressively narrowing the gap.

There are very competent ports of Gen 8 games on Switch (Earth Defense Force 4.1, Alien Isolation, Dying Light, Nier Automata and surely Ace Combat 7 too) but they require extra care and some optimization tricks to make them work, while the Switch 2 supposedly should make things much smoother for third-party devs. Nevermind that plenty of games (even more so on the Japanese side of the industry) continue to be developed on the PS4 to this day.

This probably doesn't merit it's own thread so i'm posting it here.

HAPPENING NOW: The official Discord server for Genesz, "Geneserver", has been hacked.

Much lulz is being had at the UNofficial discord server (link below) which has long been a refuge for people banned for random reasons, no reasons at all, failing to validate the faggot/troon/furry lifestyle...and most notoriously, for refusing to post one's personal Steam information to prove you bought a copy of The Long Drive. Which for those who don't know, a half-finished driving sim that's a spaghetti-coded mess which hasn't been meaningfully updated in a dog's age.
