    ScummVM (original CD or Steam/GoG) is still wonderful 😇

    WC4 Remake

    I know. There is no need to defend your work, we had these discussion already. You put these videos out and you get feedback. Some of that feedback you will like, some of it you won't. And you put the things you like in your backlog, or it confirms things that are already present there. And that...

    WC4 Remake

    I think I need to elaborate here, what do I mean by I would have loved a little bit of additional creative freedom taken there exactly? Well, as Defiance and you have pointed out, the tumbles are a very important part of Wing Commander Gameplay and, more importantly, for game feel. Together with...

    WC4 Remake

    Great progress! Jump looks good. Ejection looks good. Tumble looks good, although I would have loved a little bit of additional creative freedom taken there. The capship explosion however does not work for me 🥺, it is, for lack of a better word, too quick. I feel the intention of WC3/4 was...

    Rebel Galaxy Outlaw!

    The team had to suffer lots of internet hate when they decided to go Epic Exclusive, because gamers tend to feel entitled. When the game launched, there also was some review bombing as a consequence and other things like that, especially after the eventual Steam release. Situations like that are...

    Rebel Galaxy Outlaw!

    Ugly things happend. I understand the devs. My only real complaint is that we never got a slider to adjust the size of the deadzones.

    they are remastering one of my favorite adventure games of all time

    Yes, you are getting the previous version based on ScummVM when buying the new one on GOG, but only there. Without knowing the legal rights situation, it is impossible to say who actually got the money from the now de-listed previous release but I consider it very likely that the money already...

    they are remastering one of my favorite adventure games of all time

    Apparently, there was a reason why that project went dark so long. It does not seem to offer anything beyond the GoG release we had in the past, bar controller support and thus console releases.

    Forgotten Babylon 5?

    As a life-long Star Trek, Star Wars and Bablyon fan (among others), I find several points raised in this thread baffling. So much discussion about the CGI and the meta-arguments in the fandom, instead of the actual merits and flaws of the show. B5 remains a good watch, even today. That said... I...

    WC4 Fan Remake Revamps Lexington and Much More (March 4, 2022)

    Yeah, I am aware of your team's sources-hierachry list and totally approve of it 👍. But shrinking the Hellcats to fit in the bays while not shrinking the actually flying Hellcats kind-of falls outside of that list, right? Not saying that decision is wrong, just saying that it is a decision.

    WC4 Fan Remake Revamps Lexington and Much More (March 4, 2022)

    Yeah, that is a real problem with inconsistent design decisions in products, when re-touching them in some shape or form. What to aim for? What type of accuracy? In this case, for gameplay accuracy or FMV consistency? What happens if one of these sources is not consistent in itself? Or if a fix...

    Dune 2021 movie

    Yeah, the finally get it. It is one of my favorite books and this movie understands this world and the themes of the story. There is one glaring omission though, and that is the Duke's dinner am I am very certain they shot that (along with the greenhouse and the baliset, if you scour the...

    Dune 2021 movie

    Saw it in September and remained silent in order not to annoy all my US friends. Awesome movie. I have not left the cinema that happy since LotR in 2001, witnessing movie history being made. Hoping for a longer extended cut at a later point, since the obviously shot more material than the...
