    Translation: We don’t know how to create new IP, and nostalgiabait sells.

      Ah yes the prime example of copyright encouraging creators to keep creating new and unique content, totally not just remaking the same thing over and over for profit.

    “Why bother making new IPs when you’ll gladly slurp up recycled nostalgia for all eternity.”

      And yet we have whiny idiots saying copyright encourages artists to create new works. Why the fuck would it when they can just rehash the same shit over and over and over and continue making money on them?

      That assumption is based on assuming that profits produce joy and passion in a project. Something which is blatantly false if you look at any of the largest, richest companies in the world.

    Hoping for Breath of Fire, expecting… not Breath of Fire.

      1-4 were fantastic. Dragon Quarter, meh. Then I think there was a 6 that was some awful online only web/android game that didn’t break 2 years of support (only released in Japan). This franchise badly needs a good story and direction to work again.

        Yeah, Dragon Quarter just felt, i dunno, weird. Like I see what they were trying to do, but they didn’t just flub the landing, they broke one of their legs.

      Just play it in Wine or Steam Proton as a non-steam game, it’s a PC game after all.

        Isn’t that a PC game? I don’t think an Emulator is needed for that, you can run it on Wine, or Steam Proton as a non-steam game.

        Not certain if it holds up. I tried to replay RE 2 and the controls drove me nuts.

        Funny enough, I was able to replay RE 4 (before the remake) and it was pretty good.

      Well, good news, project justice and power stone 1 and 2 are on the next capcom fighting game collection (alongside some street fighter games and various enhancements) that should be out next year.

      Don’t know if you wanted completely new games, but I think that’s still good news

      You activated a core memory.

      Used to host Power Stone 2 Dreamcast parties.

      Project Justice… I loved every single character. Swimmer guy. Bat guy. Tennis preteen. Akira. Dom girl. Teacher who had enough of your shit. Batsu. Guy who did Guile moves. Sakura. I miss it.

        Me too, I wish there was an anime or a Manga of project justice! I know there is one of power stone, but I’m not sure if I should revisit that one or if that better stays a memory
