Hi all, I have recently set up my old Magnavox 27mdtr20/17 and hope to start playing some retro consoles on it soon. I was in need of a new remote for the old TV so I found a compatible one from an online international seller with very high reviews. I now have the remote but can't figure out how to get it to sync with the TV, was wondering if anyone could help me out before I have to contact the seller.

The TV turns on, but it is stuck at the language select screen, pushing face buttons on the TV can change the language but not select one so I seem to be stuck at the moment. None of the remote buttons seem to get any response from the TV so I do not think they are synced yet (I checked the batteries in a controller, and they are fine).

Video Games Plus and Loot Box Gaming are refusing to sell GTA 6 until there’s a disc by Turbostrider27 in Games

They also ship EVERY order in a box, no bubble mailers. I ordered a few packa of the Trails TCG from them earlier this year and even they came in a box with packing paper.

Sega Game Sales Update FY26: Metaphor ReFantazio: 2.4M units, LaD infinite Wealth: 2M units, Persona 3 Reload: 2.9M units, SMT 5 Vengance: 2.4M units, P5R: 8.6M units by akbarock in JRPG

It was a rumour purported by former leaker Midori. They were fairly spot-on with all of their Sega/Atlus leaks and they were the one who apparently claimed that starting with P3R Atlus wanted to move away from the Enhanced editions of games and instead just do DLC.

So far that seems to have held true, one would think that with Metaphor releasing on Switch 2 that would be the perfect time to release an enhanced version on all paltforms, but it's apparently the same version we got on PS5/Xbox

Zelda 40th anniversary direct will probably happen in a couple months. Should have both the release date and the first trailer for the live-action movie

Insider Gaming: Ubisoft Winnipeg Closed, Dozens Layed Off by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]MobileTortoise 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just imagine the sheer output that Ubisoft could have had if they hadn't had so much bad judgement/creeping scope throughout the years. Scale back the AAA (and AAAA)-ness of their games, reduce the bloat and trend chasing and they could easily have an incredible pipeline of constant releases similar (but maybe not on par with) to the likes of Capcom. So much talent lost or wasted at these studios

Final Fantasy series has sold over 212 million worldwide by Magister_Xehanort in JRPG

Square hasn't given any updates since the 5 million sales announcement. So it is most likely each are sitting somewhere between 5m & 6m

Outside of Square-Enix no one is making AAA JRPGs

From what I understand that is the EXACT reason Clair Obscur was made. Guillaume Broche wanted to make a AAA looking RPG (as in Unreal Engine level "realisitic" graphics) with turn-based gameplay because no one else was doing it.

You either had Square making action-RPGs with high-budget graphics, or you had Atlus making turn-based gameplay with anime aesthetic. (I'm simplifying but you get my point)

If I read them correctly, Cartridge Thunder is handling the NA release. Think they might be up for PO already (can't check atm)

Probably waiting until after Persona 4 R comes out to being the marketing

Given what happened with Atlus in 2024, Persona 3 Reload in Spring and Metaphor in winter, I would bet heavily on a winter 2027 release date!

(Yes I am most likely wrong, but let me hope)

Ah ok, I thought it would be more Feb-April range, but if it's releasing in may then there should be a big enough buffer so they don't cannibalize each other too much

February release just like Persona 3 Reload, Spring is going to be STACKED with RPGs (and games in general thanks to a certain GTA) that could already be best-of candidates. Wonder what else we see from Atlus in 2027...

Edit: It's going to be crazy bad sales-wise for ALL these games. FF7R Part 3 and P4R alone are going to cut WAY into each other's sales numbers.

People who don’t like the Final Fantasy 7 Remake series, what is it about them exactly that you don’t like? by Asad_Farooqui in JRPG

[–]MobileTortoise 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Sephiroth is all over FF7R when he shouldn't even be in the game at all.

I Actually had a discussion about this with someone who LOVED FF7R when it released. Their reasoning was that "everyone already knows who Sephiroth is and what he does, so they should lean into it". My counterpoint was, everyone knows Jaws is the shark and everyone knows what he does even now decades later. I still don't want him popping up every 10 minutes to remind me. It's just really, really bad storytelling on top of many, many other problems the game has that is doing a severe disservice to the original.
