Would love to see more DF Retros from John now that they can come up with their own ideas.

DefenderOfDoom2161d ago (Edited 161d ago )

I just watched a DF video from John featuring the new Gradius collection. Gradius is one my favorite NES games ! And now at QuakeCon 2025 they just released a remastered Heretic and Hexxen bundle by Nightdive and ID Software. So DF featuring John released a video today talking about the Hexxen and Heretic bundle . Good times.

I love DF-crew, they are experts at what they do and I'm so happy for this!

I believe in these guys more than anyone else!

I overall don't like podcasts either but these guys make it fun for me at least! :D

Xbox Series X best place to play 3rd party. Oh it must be a glitch or tools because Series X is worse.
I don’t understand why this keeps happening.
Doesn’t sound like an expert to me.

Andy_Dee159d ago

Doesn't make any sense what you are saying. They are experts in their field in my opinion, we don't have to share it. That's ok.

But something doesn't always have to have an explanation as well. If they can't understand why it's happening they aren't lying about it. They honestly can admit that they do nut understand something, usually they reach out to that specific company etc. then to try and get a better understanding.

If you don't like em, don't watch em.

gold_drake161d ago

thats great that u enjoy them, but you shouldnt just believe everything these guys say either.

Andy_Dee159d ago

I didn't say I believe everything they are saying. I believe in them more than anyone else in this business because I feel they do not shy away from getting into specifics. Lot's of ppl just try to say something and then there's no source or no explanation as to why. Just saying it for reactions, clicks you name it.

These guys love the field they work in and I can feel that when I listen to them. That might be just for me but I enjoy them a lot.

PS5 Pro Console 4k Reveal Trailer – PlayStation 5 Pro Announcement

Admin note: We are allowing this submission as it provides a 4k trailer on YouTube and we have to link to an IGN article. Thank you Purple101 for the submission.

Sony has announced the PS5 Pro, an upgraded version of the PlayStation 5 capable of higher frame rates, better ray-tracing, and improved graphical fidelity."

Petebloodyonion491d ago

I recall in the past, my friend attempted to demonstrate the superiority and importance of using an S-video cable for PS1 games compared to the original RCA cables. He would pause the game and switch the video output settings so I could notice the differences.

or it reminds me of the 1080P vs 900P debate.

Honestly even at 4K I can barely see the difference aside frame rate.

Visions of Mana Dev Reportedly Being Shut Down by NetEase

Chinese video game company NetEase has reportedly laid off most staff at Visions of Mana developer Ouka Studios with plans to shut it down altogether.

Old McGroin504d ago

Damn. Picked it up yesterday, really enjoying it. Didn't even realise Netease were involved with it until I first booted it up and their logo popped up.

thorstein503d ago (Edited 503d ago )

Time to sail the seas with this one.

Chocoburger504d ago

How awful. What should have been a moment of celebration for the dev team, turned into an terrible day for them.

"The game that you spent years of your life on is finally out for people to enjoy! ALSO YOU'RE ALL FIRED!"

F you NetEase. I'll only remember your company name so that I can avoid it in the future. Hopefully S-E hires the these talented people and gives them more games to work on.

TGG_overlord503d ago

NetEase sucks a** with no doubt.

jznrpg504d ago (Edited 504d ago )

Lame. I just bought the game but have it held at the post office since I’m out of town.

Why not let the game have a chance in the wild before shutting them down.

vTuro24504d ago

Well fuck you too, NetEase.

Snookies12504d ago

Wow... Okay... I'm going to go out of my way in trying to avoid purchasing any NetEase game from this point on. It's one thing to shut them down if the game failed on sales. But this hasn't even had a chance to sell yet.

Old McGroin504d ago

Definitely. What if a Netease game is released that needs a few patches to get it up to scratch but there's nobody to do it because they shut down the developer? Best to just avoid.

Michiel1989503d ago

exactly the reason I'm never gonna play Marvel RIvals, they did some of the most shady shit with that game.
