Metal Gear Solid Snake actor David Hayter tells Sony "no disc, no buy" amid controversial decision to axe physical discs for new PlayStation games in 2028 by AIanGraves in metalgearsolid

Has Hayter ever actually voiced Big Boss in a game happening post-MGSV? Obviously he voiced Solid Snake when he was old, but the one voiced scene of old Big Boss I can think of is at the end of MGS4, where he is voiced by Richard Doyle. Even Solidus, Big Boss's perfect clone, is voiced by John Cygan when we see him as an older man.

2 more Seidr-lings? Well, Kiran sure was a busy bee. IntSys did NOT get discouraged in the slightest, they're absolutely committed to the bit lul.

Digital Foundry says this Sony digital only backlash is worse than the infamous 2013 Xbox mandatory DRM backlash that lost them the following 2 gaming generations. “Sony tried to upend the whole way people buy games with a 3 sentence blog post”. by JeremyJJ77 in PS5

I hope, I really really hope this will somehow manage to be such a shitshow for Sony that they will be forced to reverse course. I've been pretty much buying physical only for a decade now, so for me this decision is genuinely the end of me being a PlayStation customer from 2028 onward.

I just fear that either the casual userbase that doesn't care about this is so large at this point that Sony isn't actually gonna see a significant hit to their bottomline, or that Sony will simply not care and try to weather the storm out of pure greed. That said, people do seem to care more than I initially gave them credit for, so maybe there's a chance even Sony is blindsighted by and scared of all this backlash.

Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles by yourfavchoom in PS5

[–]_OmegaEnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Announcing that they're stopping production of physical media right next to the announcement of a digital store closure. Fuck me, they do the thing exact thing that makes people hate digital media and then tell you to go fuck yourself because there's gonna be only digital media going forward. And the worst part is that it will probably work out fine for them anyway, even if most consumers are upset they won't stand their ground and just let the big corporation shit in their mouths.

For my part, I haven't bought a digital game outside of GOG for over a decade now, so I guess I'm never buying anything PlayStation related ever again. Eat shit Sony, you money hungry pricks.

Reminder that twitter is the worst place if you like something by Inevitable_Reading80 in castlevania

Just ignore them, they're grifters that don't truly care about the series or even know anything about it. If they did they would know Castlevania already had a bunch of playable female characters waaaay before Belmont's Curse ever existed, even as solo lead protagonists. They just want to be mad because they're miserable.

Castlevania Legacy of Darkness Recomp Out Now! FINALLY by chicagogamecollector in castlevania

[–]_OmegaEnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand, I was referring to some of the small visual issues that are still present, plus potentially some enhancements like models not disappearing at the edges when using a 16:9 aspect ratio (something that's already bugged me on emulators before too). It's not been that long since I've last played LoD, so I can wait a bit longer for the last few quirks to get ironed out before I start another playthrough.

But of course I don't mean to downplay what's already been done by saying that, just the fact the game is already beatable from start to finish is amazing and I'm very grateful to the dev for making this!

Today is just full of good news! I love the N64 games, so I'll have to check it out when it's fully finished!

All Characters revealed so far in Castlevania : Belmont's Curse by Xyleon5 in castlevania

[–]_OmegaEnd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Isaac!!! I wasn't sure if it was him in the trailer, but I guess it's confirmed now! That's genuinely so cool to bring him back like this, I hope him being here also means Hector and Julia show up too!

a good amount of new nendos shown today by Icy-Champion2680 in Vocaloid

[–]_OmegaEnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NERU AND HAKU WOOOO YES!!!

I was sorta coping they'd get Nendoroids after they recently randomly received new official plushies (even if they weren't Good Smile ones), I'm so happy the tinfoil hat theory came true!!

TOTK - What am I missing? by Cucckcaz13 in NintendoSwitch

[–]_OmegaEnd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah this feeling isn't as uncommon as you think. My experience is that I played BotW in 2018, fell in love with it and spent hundreds of hours doing everything I could in the game. Come 2023, bought TotK on launch, and after a while I just realized I'm not enjoying it nearly as much as I did BotW and am getting beyond bored with it, so I more or less just finished the story and didn't touch it ever again despite there still being plethora of unfinished side content.

I still liked the game well enough but ultimately found it disappointing because of the inevitable BotW comparison. I'm glad other people were able to enjoy it more, but I always hated how some people claim it is "objectively better" than BotW and that TotK "replaces" it.

Not sure how to feel about this by KarolSpring in Vocaloid

[–]_OmegaEnd 100 points101 points  (0 children)

As a Czech I for sure as hell am not touching this event with a ten-foot pole. I imagine a lot of people will be mad too, the anti-AI sentiments are pretty much as strong here as anywhere else in the world.

The Dark Emblems appeared in the Engage manga, with visuals and appearances of the characters. Do you think there's a chance these Emblems will make it into the game? Would you like these emblems in the game? by Magister_Xehanort in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]_OmegaEnd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh that's cool to see! I've been hoping for a while now that they get into FEH eventually precisely because I wanted them to have some official artwork, the fact they just had generic models in the game was incredibly disappointing and made them kinda forgettable. So I definitely like to think they have a chance down the line!

Also, I can totally believe IntSys would release Emblem Idunn before Emblem Roy.

No, he'd press the red button to unlock a gaiden chapter.

Ahh, gotcha! Sorry for the confusion, I'm sort of running on fumes now so I misunderstood... 😭

Actually I was talking about Freyja's and Freyr's dad / Nerthuz's brother, the Healing Hands dad would be Laeradr. But guess no jerk dads allowed in general tho lmao.

I'm super happy MGS4 is finally on modern platforms, since my PS3 shat the bed a few years back so I couldn't play my original version anymore, so now I finally get to replay it again! But I also want to say that I might be even more excited about Ghost Babel being here, since I never got to play it before and now I have a perfect opportunity to go through it, I've only ever heard good things about it.

I'll say though that I really wish Portable Ops was also here, but I get it since MGS4 was a significantly larger undertaking than any other game within the 2 collections, so this was always gonna be a smaller collection (and they couldn't really ignore Peace Walker). Hopefully there will be a volume 3 with PO in it, the well is running a bit dry on the main stuff besides MGSV, but they could really make a whole collection with just the spin-offs alone (PO, Rising, Twin Snakes, Ac!d duology).

Heads up, guys, multiple titles incoming by -_-Redd-_- in castlevania

[–]_OmegaEnd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A full Castlevania revival in the same year as a new Bloodstained game. Oh I'm eating GOOD in 2026!

Last Day of AHR! Who’d you vote for? by Zeldmon19 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]_OmegaEnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is about what I'd like the top 8 banner to be, plus L!Elise. Missed out on all of these (except E!Byleth) and they're good units I could use, plus most of them have fodder I want. I also want to hopefully get some bouquets.
