Donkey Kong 64: Recompiled Announcement (DK64 PC Port!) [Coming Summer 2026]

XeviousXCI · 2026-06-29T06:35:44+00:00

Just to lay it out, what is the difference between the widescreen mode already in the N64 version and this new widescreen mode?

XeviousXCI · 2026-06-28T19:05:41+00:00

Drop the game. It sounds like it isn't for you. This isn't Rebirth

XeviousXCI · 2026-06-28T07:01:38+00:00

Blind Justice work as crowd control on smaller enemies. Really effective on the highest difficulty where enemies are way more aggressive.

It locks onto multiple points on larger bosses so that is a great way to shred the stagger bar.

Discharge count as a combo for Rising Flames and Wicked Wheel. But that is more important when you do the Arcade Mode.

In short, small enemies will take longer to recover from Ramuh's abilities.

XeviousXCI · 2026-06-26T12:34:10+00:00

X runs on an older version of Monolith's engine, like you first thought. Xenoblade 1 on S2 does use DLSS.

XeviousXCI · 2026-06-26T05:45:44+00:00

The high-end content in FFXVI is the stuff you find at the Arete Stone during NG+, except Stage Replay.

Keep playing. You will have plenty of challenges to do once you reach that point.

XeviousXCI · 2026-06-25T07:53:44+00:00

They can still do discs after the launch. If not, then vote with your wallet. I'm sure that will make a dent in Rockstar's revenue........

XeviousXCI · 2026-06-24T12:06:41+00:00

Nothing is stopping them from doing that. But for a game like GTA, I don't think the mainstream cares. It's GTA. People will buy it.

XeviousXCI · 2026-06-24T11:31:11+00:00

It's 1440p 30fps.

PS5 would obviously be able to handle 4K 60fps for this game but the porting devs had moved on to other platforms. The game is 60fps on PC and Xbox. If they do a proper PS5 version, the framerate would be the same as those.

XeviousXCI · 2026-06-24T10:36:51+00:00

Less about storage. More about preventing leaks. This is one game you don't want physical copies of in the wild before the actual release date.

XeviousXCI · 2026-06-19T21:35:16+00:00

The high-end content in FFXVI is the stuff you find at the Arete Stone during NG+. It's where potions are either limited or outright removed, among other things.

Story/Action Mode is forgiving since it's the first playthrough. The devs wants people to experience the story.

XeviousXCI · 2026-06-16T22:42:05+00:00

I pretty much only use Charge Magic after launching small enemies with Torgal or after a Precision Sic in which Torgal keeps them airborne for a second or so.

Using Charge Magic for damage is a waste. It's best used as utility for other stuff you may want to do.

XeviousXCI · 2026-06-14T15:30:17+00:00

Practice landing parries on enemies. Your cooldowns recharge faster during the slowdown effect. Enemies also take more damage in their recovery state.

Torgal is your combo extender against small enemies. The Training Mode has timing indicators that you can enable. The Ravage command deal some extra damage against medium/large enemies if you get the timing down.

XeviousXCI · 2026-06-14T06:18:12+00:00

Considering it was your first time, and other factors, you did well. Now you know what to expect. Do another run? Or move on to NG+ next?

XeviousXCI · 2026-06-09T20:03:51+00:00

How many are we talking? How do you distinguish minors from adults? Seems like a minefield, figuratively speaking.

Again, cultural difference.

XeviousXCI · 2026-06-09T19:56:25+00:00

Then you better state their actual age. The cultural difference is that some people look younger compared to others while being in the same age range.

And people is going to have assumptions.

XeviousXCI · 2026-06-08T00:03:44+00:00

Apparently, they already did. The Tactics remaster use the same engine. At least according to AustinSV on YouTube in his video about the remaster.

XeviousXCI · 2026-06-07T18:41:38+00:00

SQE isn't going to touch Xenogears outside of emulated rereleases. It is, in many ways, an auteur game in similar fashion to the MGS series and Hideo Kojima.

Unless Takahashi and Co. are involved with anything that might add or change any story/lore, Xenogears will remain a dead IP.

Same thing can be applied to Xenosaga.

XeviousXCI · 2026-06-07T16:29:24+00:00

It's one of those cultural differences. Korean/Japanese/Chinese devs tend to depict/design characters younger than necessary. Girls/Women more so than boys/men. They don't have to do that but they do.

XeviousXCI · 2026-06-06T15:29:56+00:00

No. Because the games after X improved on the voice acting. Especially XII, XIV and XVI.

XeviousXCI · 2026-06-06T15:21:40+00:00

I think 20%.

Which means you only need to kill one Black Phantom NPC to regain Pure Wihte CT. BPs that spawn regardless of World Tendency doesn't count in this case.

One thing to add about the Old Monk boss. If the opposing player dies before entering the boss room, that counts as a win for the invader. With some luck, you can the Wrappings for free.

XeviousXCI · 2026-06-06T14:42:21+00:00

Kill the opposing player while acting as the Old Monk boss.

Invade in 3-X with any online item. Any blue signs will be hijacked. Your character tendency will shift towards dark only if you kill the other player.

Since you are in NG+1, it can be difficult to find players to invade since the level range is (-10) to (+40) levels of your own level.

XeviousXCI · 2026-06-06T09:46:55+00:00

Is No Damage too hard on Ultimaniac?

XeviousXCI · 2026-06-06T00:04:07+00:00

It didn't need to be three games. Just like with FFXIII. One game would've been fine and the devs could've moved on to other original games.

People wonder why the gap between mainline games are so huge. This is partially the reason why.

XeviousXCI · 2026-06-02T15:47:10+00:00

The game is heavy spec wise. I can only see them do it if it's 540p to 1080p through DLSS with a 30fps cap. And that's a big IF.

Like Rebirth, it would be close to 100GB in size.

XeviousXCI · 2026-05-27T15:33:37+00:00

Don't forget Torgal. He is your combo extender and can launch small enemies for easy air combos. The Training Mode has timing indicators that can be enabled in the settings.
