A feature on gaming nostalgia, classic games and my own personal experience playing some of the gaming industries most beloved titles.
Nintendo's classic action-adventure game, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, is set to receive a fanmade port for the Sega Dreamcast.
Capcom has removed the recently added Enigma DRM from the PC version of its survival horror game, Resident Evil 4 remake.
The latest update for Capcom's Resident Evil 4 remake has replaced Denuvo with Enigma DRM, lowering in-game performance.
Once again hurting the people who purchase and support the game. Meanwhile pirates get the best version. Pathetic.
There is already someone or a group called voices38, that has been cracking Denuvo games lately. Not the newest games, but getting there.
I wonder if the pirated copies run better like this one titled here: "Resident Evil 4: Remake - Gold Edition (No Denuvo) (v1.5.0.0 + All DLCs + Bonus Content + MULTi14) (From 50 GB)"
i don't think so? as far as i know even pirated version have denuvo or whatever runing in the background, they just trick it to say that yes this is a legit copy or just skip that process, but im not 100% sure. regardless this is an endless battle where legit consumer "suffer" sometimes. it's not that big of a deal MOST of the times and i understand publishers not wanting people to get access to their games for FREE so, i cant blame them honestly. i do find it odd that they wouldn't just remove DRM completely considering most people already played it? not like they are getting more sales anymore, just lower the price remove DRM but i guess thats why they still have it because they dont want to lower the price. oh well
A perfectly acceptable excuse to pirate the game.
Why would you accept to pay for the game in order for it to install software you don’t want with the intention to make your playing experience worse. Paying for that would be the very definition of stupid.
I’m not against DRM but if it negatively effects a product you’re paying for. Then it’s on them not you.
metal gear,resident evil,sotc
those are not classic games
METAL SLUG,GUNSTAR HERO,CONTRA,GRADIUS,EINHANDER, R-TYPE,FINAL FIGHT,BATTLE ARENA TOSHINDEN, MARVEL VS CAPCOM,BATTLE TOAD,DOUBLE DRAGON are classic games to name a few.
My gut reaction was to brush this article off as one designed to simply create controversy, or at least, the author can only appreciate a game if it has guns and no exploration. However, to be more fair, one aspect I did like was the point that nostalgia can mask imperfections and raise the status of a past experience beyond what it truly was. I wish more time had been given to utilizing this aspect to craft a compelling argument or critique instead of the article devolving into an opinion piece. I would have liked to see a fleshed out view from the eyes of someone who had never played these titles before. Instead, it left me with a feeling of someone who can't appreciate exploration of a fantasy world, since the 3 titles the author dismissed were similar to each other, and far different from the other two which, while still excellent, are more in line with today's mainstream titles.
Got to say @Warj nailed it on the head. The point you raised about nostalgia masking imperfections is something I found and touched on in the article but I definitely feel a whole article dedicated to this subject is a grand idea. Perhaps a follow up piece is in order.
For the record, I don't dislike ICO, SOTC or OOT at all. They are 3 brilliant games and I immensely enjoyed playing all 3. My issue was that they are being held in the same regard as others, when they are (IMO) undeserving.
An interesting caveat on the whole "technical layout" in modern games debate. Modern games no doubt control and look better, does that automatically mean they are by default better games than some of our most beloved classics? And if not, why?
Anyway thanks for leaving comments though guys, it's really appreciated. Especially when they are actually (for the most part) intelligent and coherent. A rarity on the internet.
