To be fair, I’ve never seen anything come close to Amanos illustratative work.

Is there a space on your shelf for one of these cubes?

Honestly, no. Square Enix in recent years have introduced so much acrylic crap for fans and collectors, and it mostly looks like cheap tat. To me this is just another set of junk to add to the pile.

It has been a long time since I’ve played SH1. I believe amount you save only affects the star ranking. Endings are dependant on tasks you do in the game. You should be alright if you’re saving a lot.

25 years already?! It doesn’t seem that long ago. I might see if I can dig mine out - Jet Set Radio or Sonic…

I’m looking forward to playing this, so will be staying staying away from anything early like this, and not even clicking through.

To go with the discussion prompt; I do think modern games can, but they need to stay as true as possible in a number of ways. Games like Silent Hill 2 won’t benefit from changing the combat to something more action oriented, and the story needs to be as close as possible. Sometimes things may differ and that’s understandable, but the question has to be asked, “Is this the game that would have been made back then if they had todays funding, technology, or knowledge?”

I think I’d rather deal with the inconvenience of hooking them up when I need, than the anxiety that I’m living with a fire hazard like this.

We had a similar case in the UK, and the teacher lost their case after taking it to an employment tribunal. Hopefully this one goes the same direction.

Do you have fond memories of the original game?

I first played it on the PSX, missing the PC version, it left a great impression on me and now long in to my adult years I play it more than any other game. Like once a year. It’s such a great story and the team behind it told it wonderfully.

The soundtrack is definitely one of my favourite parts of the game so to see them use original masters to bring improved music is a huge highlight. The death of Barrington Pheloung has been, in my opinion, one of the most tragic losses to video game music.

Oh wow this is unlocking some childhood memories, I used to play this on the Amiga. What a blast.

So glad I’m not going through this any more. I think I’d rather be single than do online dating again.

That is gorgeous.
