Really came out of nowhere; I had no idea he was ill. He was a massive influence on Nintendo and on video games in general. My thoughts go out to his family and colleagues.
It's so silly. The PC version of Minecraft has always had the most functionality, and now they're basing the Windows 10 version off the Pocket edition? Classic MS move.
When's it coming to MS-DOS, like Retro City Rampage?
I don't know anything about Final Fantasy but I'm just going to ask; does it really require, at last count, 510 screenshots? I checked on Steam and you've only got 8 screenshots for games that aren't Final Fantasy VIII. :P
It's excellent that games like this are being preserved, irrelevant of the legality. Old games need saving for future generations, and the Internet Archive are going down the right path. The emulation technology is still in early stages and some of the games are still missing sound or have bugged sound (like all of the Sega Genesis games) but hopefully given enough time they'll get them all working fine.
Assassin's Creed really needs to win the Take A Break Award from GB this year. I'd love to run around Victorian London but I'd prefer to do it two years from now and give Assassin's Creed some breathing room.
Ubisoft have long tried to strongarm players into doing what they want them to do; remember the Online Services Platform which forced you to play singleplayer games online? When AC 2 launched you had to be connected constantly. At least they were dissuaded from doing that, but Uplay is a less than preferable alternative.
Why do Ubisoft keep doing it? People keep buying their games! It's as simple as that. If Ubisoft feels they can get away with it, they'll do it, no hesitation.
