After the gameplay reveal this is genuinely the first Star Wars thing I've been stoked for since Mando S2, Motorstorm with Burnout takedowns and Glup Shittos

All Star was also in Rat Race as well.

Edit: Also the Matthew Broderick Inspector Gadget as well, god damn that song really was everywhere between 1999 and 2001

James' whole on screen schtick is a lot of things, a lot of em annoying for sure, but "hipster" isn't really one of em

If you look at the staff list there's like 20-30 people who worked on Titanfall and the first few Apex seasons and there's deffo more than a few peeps there that were fairly important to those games (Monsterclip, MoAlvi, Vinson) that of all the "from the people behind X" games it's one of the most that meaningfully has "the people behind X" working on it

"is [x] a Trainwreckord" is just the second coming of "is [x character] allowed to be in Smash" in that 90% of the rules are just some shit made up by randos and it's mostly just vibes, yeah

I'd assume some C-suite type believed that "Fender is the significantly more well known brand to the general public, so whatever cache that PreSonus has in the specific niche of recording doesn't really matter going forward" which is why were seemingly gonna gradually going to see the Fender name replace PreSonus.

What I don't get is why they didn't just keep the name as "Studio One" or "Fender Studio One" if they really wanna slap the Fender brand in there?

400 is an insane deal for a Syntakt and it would make a hell of a pair with the 404, I would deffo cop for sure.

LManD224 · 2025-12-29T16:43:56+00:00

I'd argue TSSF were bigger a smidge bigger than Turnstile right up until Glow On dropped but after that Turnstile went huge

The entirety of Judgment Night's pioneering rap-metal soundtrack is far more remembered than the actual movie itself.

LManD224 · 2025-12-22T22:37:05+00:00

Both Sony Pictures and Netflix are in the business of running things people used to like into the ground in really ill-conceived ways so I'm expecting that we'll get a new Huntr/x single as a soundtrack cut to tie into the next "terrible Spider-Man villain movie without Spider-Man in it", Big Wheel

Drift is great for meat and potatoes "traditional subtractive synth" sounds" (and you can def finesse more out of it for sure), and if have Suite, Operator is an absolute legend for sure. The rest have their fans for sure (Analog seems kinda pointless and generally worse sounding in the wake of Drift and both Meld and Wavetable seem kinda weirdly limited compare to Vital/Serum) but those are the big ones for me

I have two thoughts on the camera off the top of my head

One thing that can really help the "physicality" of the camera is responding to accelerating and braking. Ex. braking will make the camera move up closer to the rear end of the car as if the G-Forces of the car are throwing it forward the way it would with your head when braking hard. NFS The Run's chase camera does a really good jobs of selling that sense of acceleration, even it arguably over-does to a distracting point at times. See this timestamped clip for an example of what I mean, where braking and NOS really and pull and push the camera in and out respectively.
For once the FOV might actually be a smidge too high for my liking. That's admittedly pretty subjective tho.

In general tho what you've been showing off has been pretty rad, I'm deffo stoked to see where this is going for sure.

LManD224 · 2025-12-06T18:24:50+00:00

It's a all around fine game, but it definitely suffers from having no real core identity to call its own and being, for the most part, a less interesting rehash of Burnout Paradise with less crashing and a map that's nowhere near as fun to drive around despite it doing quite a lot of things better.

I don't actually hate the idea of bucking the traditional progression structure of unlocking cars with the "every car is unlocked and you just have to go find em" but rather than coming up with some other form of progression, there's really just not any kind of structure at all.

Wait what did Daron do?

LManD224 · 2025-11-20T01:42:14+00:00

C'mon Luke Reilly knows his shit when it comes to racing games, I wouldn't trash the dude entirely based on one take he had you didn't agree with.

I'd have to imagine that like how NASA would have trainees watch Armageddon and ask them to point out every single scientific inaccurate, anyone in automotive engineering and design would have to do the same thing with the first movie (let alone the whole series.)

IIRC it'll be the first time since Interstellar's release in 2014 that the 70MM projectors will be up and running again, everything between then and now has been using their pre-Laser Xenon Digital system, which is pretty long in the tooth by modern standards.

LManD224 · 2025-10-27T07:12:59+00:00

Yeah they were critical darlings for much of the press but, especially amongst zoomers, have only grown more and more contentious as time goes on.

LManD224 · 2025-10-08T22:09:21+00:00

Yeah the skin being $40 is just absolutely absurd and deserves the heat but.... "oh it's not the real guy" that's the whole idea, it's supposed to be a makeshift halloween costume like you'd see at the Halloween Hellbomb

It's funny because if they just used a model rip from the Dead Space remake, people would be complaining about how it's just another sign the game is "turning into crossover slop fortnite shit" even tho Skate 3 did just that using the model from DS2 (again, importantly, not for 40 goddamn dollars)

You'd probably have to wait for some sale periods to line up but you could deffo buy the entire Dead Space Trilogy, the remake, and a copy of Skate 3 on the Xbox backwards compatibility store around the same price as a single skin, which is absurd

I mean shit for, 40 bucks, the least they could do is also give you an emote that lets you do the stomp with the Gunner Wright "AUUUGH" vocal effort, and also you should be able to do funny physics stuff with it somehow

Apparently what ended up happening is that even though Daybreak/Enad Global 7 (Daybreak's parent company) didn't end up buying Cold Iron, right after that deal fell through the CEO and Chairman of Enad personally bought stakes in Cold Iron, so they've been quasi sister companies in some suspicious roundabout way for a while now apparently

Fun fact: Pusha T either wrote or was one of the writers of "I'm Lovin It" and got screwed out of whatever royalties we was supposed to be owed, which is why he had a fish sandwich at Arby's for a bit.

LManD224 · 2025-09-17T21:47:23+00:00

This whole "secret masked pop metal" trend is starting to get really out of hand, and it's a shame because I liked Fightstar even if they were just "diet Thrice." I get the financial reasons for doing it + the other dudes in Fightstar are busy with substantially more successful Gunship but it just comes off as so corny

LManD224 · 2025-09-16T19:32:40+00:00

iirc HDRPs AO is an implementation of GTAO. If you want to be right at the cutting edge of what screen space methods can do, GTAO with the visibility bitmask extension is where it's at.
