I’m also digging into Control Resonant. I just love the weird and wacky style of this game and the original. The combat isn’t a pushover, but when you start chain moves together you feel like a badass, even early on. The movement in general is buttery smooth, feels great to just pick up and play.

Yay, glad to have you back. Thanks for taking up the mantle again.

Hell yeah, I recently finished Dusk too! Be warned, the configuration menus for SoH are much rougher than Dusk, they set a new high bar with that one.

I’m sure the graphics will be a big point of contention, since there aren’t a ton of changes otherwise, and in that regard I don’t mind them too much, though some of the characters look wonky and inconsistent.

I’m more disappointed it appears to be a 1:1 remake. Between that and the way the the gameplay video talked down to the audience (“this is how you jump, wow!” and “we kept loading screens to make you nostalgic”), this just isn’t for me. It makes me sad that this seems to be happening more and more with Nintendo.

Fortunately, I just played Ship of Harkinian last year and had a great time. It already includes a lot of the QoL improvements (e.g. free camera movement), and with an HD texture pack it looks good without compromising the original style. Plays on the go with on a Steam Deck too!

Last i checked he took a long break from social media, and eventually came back as more sober person.

This is news to me, do you have any more info? While I agree that you can’t erase the bad, I would like to have another (rare) example of someone who turned themselves around.

And thanks for your post in general. I didn’t know about his opinions on gender, and they’re surprisingly thoughtful, especially for that time.

The article says Saros will be PS5 only now :/
