  • Are there new handhelds in that form factor ? I love my steam deck but the PSPs were quite a bit more compact. Also, having tried both (PSP and vita) for a while, they felt like they had amazing build quality but idk if that’s true. I definitely liked using them both anyway which is probably why people are keeping it alive.

    I guess my main problem with them was that they were really expensive, in parts due to their gimmicky tech imo (UMD/back touch surface)






  • I still can’t believe the guys who made Streets of Rage 4 got Sega to hand over the rights to some random french team.

    (Well actually they weren’t that random and iirc already made a ridiculously high quality modern release of some old Sega IP, I guess that’s how they did it)


  • One of Sonic mania’s lead devs is a notorious romhacker IIRC, and some other members of the team are modders too. They were hired by the one guy who knows what they’re doing regarding sonic at Sega (can’t remember his name right now) because he saw their passion and talent. It’s one of the few good modern sonic games imo

    Black Mesa is a HL1 fan remake. They realized halfway though that very long project that they couldn’t sell it so they went to Gabe and he gave them his blessing

    AM2R is, as it’s name states, another Metroid 2 remake made by a fan. It’s very well made and free, but Nintendo hit it with a lawsuit like right after they released the trailer for Samus Returns, instead of, you know, hiring the guy to make great 2D Metroid games
