Game Freak's trademarked "Beast of Reincarnation" apparently.

Not sure if this is Pokémon-related or an entirely different project, so I'm posting it in here.

It's gonna release next year and is not related to Pokémon.

Also, Persona 4 Revival.

Seeing discourse on Persona 4 Revival already.

And also people expecting Gen X of Pokémon to have the same visuals as Beast of Reincarnation.

So, Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles (a remaster of an old PS1 game) is gonna be using Denuvo.

Ugh.

Based on that reaction, I assume this to be bad.

And of course we have idiots buying Switch 2s just to whack it with a hammer, or subject it to other cruel misfortunes on purpose. :|

And the guy in question's been doing this to a lot of expensive electronics, for years, just to entertain people?!

I wanna pummel him.

Good thing that he's been banned from a retail store.

The guy must be pretty loaded if he's able to buy game consoles just to smash them up for views. Most people can't even afford to buy 1 console, let alone several.

Wow.

Yandere Simulator started development in 2014, and is just one guy and volunteers, yet shipping regular builds for early access and still in active development as of this year.

Meanwhile, Hytale started development in 2015, backed by Hypixel and Riot Games, and… after like 10˝ years, gets canceled with nothing released or even shown off.

YanDev being a better game developer than an entire team was not what I expected to read on. Like. Anywhere.

Wow.

Is Yandev still at this? Even Duke Nukem Forever was released eventually and that game bombed. But hey, if Yandere Simulator does finally get released, I suppose that it'd still be less of a disaster than Mighty No. 9 turned out to be.

Wait, did Duke Nukem Forever even get early access releases?

Not in that sense, though purchasers of the Borderlands re-release back in 2010 could get access to a demo of Duke Nukem Forever.

Anyway, my point was that just because a game spends years in development doesn't guarantee that it'll turn out good. Duke Nukem Forever took 14 years and ended up with a negative reception, and Yandere Simulator has been mired in controversies, some of which are related to the game's long development time and some to the main developer himself.

While undercooking a game often leads to it being underwhelming or bad, overcooking a game may lead to it bombing harder because fans feel that it wasn't worth the wait and as a result may be far more critical of the game's shortcomings than it if had been released in a shorter time frame. Worse still if the game has developed a reputation for being long awaited -regardless of actual development time- it will develop lofty expectations that make some fans feel disappointed if the game comes out and doesn't meet those expectations.

And apparently people are already starting work on a Switch 2 emulator. Wow.

Wow. People are quick. Here's to hoping that Nintendo don't DMCA them off the face of the Earth like they did with the Nintendo Switch emulators.
