Yesss. 2D HD (or 2.5 HD as some like to call it) is such a beautiful graphics style. I can't wait for the upcoming Dragon Quest III remake that is also using 2.5HD as its graphic style. Game looked gorgeous from the brief footage we got in the reveal trailer.

It really is. I still wish that a Pokemon game would adopt that style because I think the sprites were better than the 3D models for the Pokemon.

^ If they were ever to remake Black and White, PLEASE I beg GameFreak to send it off to these devs. It would be so gorgeous, especially considering Black and White was Pokemon's PEAK 2D style.

[Moonface]

Yeah, I feel like BW should be remade eventually and if it is I'd much prefer that style than the 3D one they did for BD/SP.

[Dragon Lord]

I would have agreed with you before about Pokemon games adopting the 2.5HD graphic style, but after playing Pokemon Legends, I don't think I can be happy with a Pokemon game that isn't in the same style as it.

LMAO! So Konami let the Silent Hill domain expire and someone bought it and tossed up a tweet about how the creator of Pyramid Head wishes he had never invented the character: https://silenthill.com/

[ShiraNoMai]

A brilliant use of money, 10/10 would do dumb shit like this when rich.

[Moonface]

I wonder what Konami would have to do to get that domain back? Do they just have to buy it from the guy who now owns it or can they force it to be given back through legal means?

[ShiraNoMai]

Nah domains aren't IP-bound IIRC. They'd just have to buy it back, but at what cost, who knows

Bloodborne Kart is real!

In the form of a fan-made game by the creator of the Bloodborne De-make.
No idea when it'll be ready but I know this has been a long running meme/joke about Bloodborne and I thought it was funny to see someone try to make it happen. XD

[Mr EliteL]

Wait so in Bloodborne you get ride something like that, either in gameplay (which I've never seen before) or in a cutscene or something? Or was there an abundance of vehicles in maps/levels so that's how the jokes came about? Either way, even if a joke, something I'd never expect to be related to a Souls-like game, a freakin' racer.

[ShiraNoMai]

That's just a reference to Akira:



Still, this is amusing. I wonder how this will even look in the end

[Mr EliteL]

Ohhh, it was the Akira joke. I completely forgot about that being a thing, now it makes sense.

Bandai Namco has revealed a new NFT service platform titled World of Den-On-Bu. It worked with the blockchain-based content creator company Gaudiy to launch the music-themed NFT platform.

The press release noted that people could retweet specific posts on the @denonbu_world Twitter account for a chance to win serial codes containing the NFTs. People who have obtained the tokens will be able to listen to the Music Crystals on the platform. Bandai Namco will update the NFT platform regularly in the near future. It will add more items with specific values, such as community content and exclusive live performance events.

RIP Bamco. Enjoy your decent into irrelevancy and joke status in the gaming world.

I'm under the belief that all these companies will try this garbage out, realize it was a bad investment, and it will never be talked about again.

Bloodborne doesn't feature any vehicles besides horse drawn carriages if I recall correctly. I feel like the joke of a game getting a kart racer came from Naughty Dog due to Crash and Jak both getting kart racers for their fourth entries, which then led to people joking about Uncharted 4 being Unkarted. I could be wrong, but most kart game jokes stem from that I find.

Even stripping away the NFT part, this just sounds utterly dull. I also don't see anything big being used for the live performances since who in their right mind would do that for an NFT of it to be sold to one person? You'd make more money just doing a regular live performance with regular tickets.
