Sonic 3 film credits animator discusses making Classic Shadow an official reality

“I was really sceptical if I was going to be able to.” “Shadow is from the Modern series of characters and gameplay that we have introduced,” he said. “The Classic series exists before the Modern series, so they haven’t met at that time. There’s no relationship, so we won’t be bringing Shadow into the Classic series.” “It feels almost like [Sega is] allergic to this idea completely. So I was really sceptical if I was going to be able to....

(TranStar is an unfettered ultra-capitalistic conglomerate on a quest to research alien creatures known as Typhon. Every sci-fi game needs a company like this.) Not just DMs, but emails, logs, reports, other written ephemera. Granted, this was hardly a new concept when Prey came out in 2017. It’s practically a staple in the immersive sim genre....

The new Grand Theft Auto 3 Dreamcast port is an astonishing achievement

But how does it stack up against the original PS2 version? The Dreamcast burned brightly from 1998 to 2001 but Sega’s financial situation famously ended its life early. That’s right - GTA2 received a port to Dreamcast during its short life. The result is certainly interesting but as a game designed for PlayStation first and foremost, it’s limited. It runs very poorly on Dreamcast, which feels unacceptable to me given its origins....

No sooner did NetEase patch away the ability to add mods, modders began working on a workaround. “However, it turns out you don’t have to use pak files. you might just extract the pak files like a zip and run them unpaked. Using a solution like this could even make your SSD die faster.” ORIGINAL STORY 12/01/25:Yesterday’s Marvel Rivals update has seemingly wiped the ability to use mods on PC....
