I am fairly certain this would be considered a derivative work because it relies on the base content of Daggerfall to function. That or because a court may determine that a “reasonable person” may conclude that it is officially connected or sanctioned by Bethesda. Though I am not a lawyer or IP law expert, so it is possible I may be wrong.
I do not see any universe where this doesnt end in legal action. I would imagine the people behind this aren’t from a country where copyright law is enforced, because this is monumentally stupid if they are.
Well that isnt what I said. I said to me it would feel out of place because I dont remember there being flags in the other games like that. So it confused me why this situation would happen in the first place, that’s all.
Perhaps I am unable to use the correct words to adequately describe my thoughts, which is way they end up being misinterpreted. It wouldn’t be the first time. My apologies for this.
Perhaps the randomness of the world generation was a bit better, but literally everything was worse. There were many times that I was like “okay, time to try that thing Sean Murray said I could do” and I just… couldn’t do it. Not that I didn’t try, I mean the functionality literally wasn’t in the game.
Multiplayer, for example. Ship customization was another one. Things to do in the ship in space were extremely limited, etc. The planets were basically just walking and mining simulator.
I definitely prefer the current version, even if it means worse RNG for wildlife and planet generation.
Given the fictional nature of the story, I wonder why they chose to use real footage and not just quickly film their own? I haven’t seen the clips myself, but I can’t imagine the film production quality would be difficult to recreate, though the expensive part might be capturing real South Korean streets and people, and the respective audio soundscape. Seems like real world footage would be out of place, but perhaps the nature of the story lends itself to real world footage, like Metal Gear Solid did?
It is crazy to me how Hello Games managed to turn No Man’s Sky around. Going from day one’s basically one hour of content to now is pretty respectable.
Its for that reason only that I am looking forward to Light No Fire.
Its always good to see more DRM free games releasing.
Would be even nicer if all DRM was just deleted, but publishers aren’t ready for that conversation yet.
A bit of a sensationalized headline, considering BioWare was only asked to remove a flag which resembled an LGBT flag in the game. IMO that is a bit different from “removing inclusivity,” which does a lot of heavy lifting. I mean, ignoring that this happens all the time for games sold in the region of Arabia (and maybe also China, but I am not sure about that, though I do know marketing materials are often altered for the CN region to make certain race characters less prominent such as Disney’s Star Wars The Force Awakens making John Boyega less prominent in marketing materials, for example).
Personally, I don’t really see why there would even be any flags at all in a Mass Effect game in the first place. In the original 3 games it seemed that humanity as a whole had advanced beyond the need, desire, or use of flags as representative of people or their identities. I cannot recall any of the first 3 ME games having any, and BioWare made the romance options not care about the gender of the player character. NPCs in the games didn’t seem to care about it, really, so I don’t understand why the flag would have existed in the first place. For the same reason I would wonder why any current country flag would appear in the game either, I just don’t remember any flags at all. Perhaps I am misremembering and just forgot about one somewhere.
To that end, IMO including any flags at all would seem like a regression of human society compared to the first three ME games, unless the cancelled ME took place in a human timeline very close to our current year. It just seemed humanity had advanced beyond the use of flags entirely, which I would imagine most space-faring civilizations would. I am not praising EA here, I am just confused as to why the situation happened in the first place, considering the established lore of the series.
Gauntlet Legends on the Dreamcast is a very faithful console port of the arcade version, albeit with characters added from Dark Legacy.
Dragon’s Crown is a fantasy side scrolling beat 'em up style game that came out in ~2010s, if you consider consoles like the PS3 and Xbox 360 retro.
It is similar to the old Capcom Dungeons and Dragons arcade game, which itself was similar to Golden Axe.
My point was saying that the term antique, vintage, or retro could all theoretically describe the same game depending on who you ask, where you are, what game you are talking about, etc. For example, some people may consider Atari 2600 and Colecovision games as antique, where others may call them vintage. An NES game like Duck Hunt may be called classic and vintage, and even antique depending on who you ask. A particularly young person might call it antique, but an older person may not even consider it “that old.”
Your initial post seemed to complain that the use of the term “retro” in the context of the post is somehow “wrong,” but there isn’t really a “wrong” way to use the term. Perhaps I misunderstood what you were saying.
Actually, in the car community the terms “antique,” “vintage,” and “classic” can all describe the same car depending on who you ask, the make and model, and when it was built. Even where the vehicle is residing can change it.
No vehicle class for “retro” exists, though there are “retro styled” vehicles, which is what you appear to describe.
What, you think Bethesda is developing this game? They’re still hard at work on the eleventy millionth Skyrim release. But this time it will be playable on the Samsung Fridge.
