Using FFVIIHook on Steam Deck for Final Fantasy VII Remastered
If you have a Steam Deck and want to run Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade without dynamic resolution scaling, here’s how.
Blog / Games
Using OBS Studio and ffmpeg to Record Games for YouTube
I bought a MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro chip in November and discovered that my existing Elgato Game Capture HD60 S didn’t work. In order to keep posting videos to my YouTube channel I had to buy a (deep breath) Elgato Game Capture HD60 S+.
That was the easy part. The hard part was simplifying my workflow to make posting videos less arduous.
On Criticism
A critic’s job is not to reflect the public opinion, but to inform it.
Art may be judged by how well it achieves what it sets out to do.
Ratings should be meaningful and distinct. The difference between each rank of the rating system should be obvious to the reviewer and the reader.
Bandits. Simple as that.
As a game developer, there’s nothing I want more than a passionate audience. Seeing Penny Arcade’s evangelical comic about Battle Chasers: Nightwar plucked an envious string in my heart. It’s exactly my kind of game: a turn-based RPG in the classic Final Fantasy style. I picked it up for Nintendo Switch to have something new to play on the bus. These are my first impressions after an hour of gameplay, having never read a Battle Chasers comic.
My Sixteen Games
Kirk Hamilton on Kotaku came up with a new type of video game list. It’s organized by how people take time to play video games, focusing more on our mood than mapping genres.
Here’s my life in video games.
Me Suffer Now
ÛKBÛK: “Hello everyone, and welcome to your first day of orientation under the Bright Lord! My name is Ûkbûk and I’ll be your Experience Coordinator here at Cirith Ungol. We’re having these sessions in small groups so I can hear your concerns and listen to your feedback.
“I’m sure you’re a little disoriented after being forcibly branded, whether you were grabbed from behind or pounced on from a tower or because you didn’t see a human ranger sprinting directly at you in broad daylight across a flat plain while you were totally sober.”
Halo: Installation 07
During my time at 343 Industries, I toyed around with a pitch for a game for Xbox One. It would use the power of the new console to render an entire Halo installation. I wanted it to be a vehicle-centered sandbox with occasional on-foot bits, possibly in third person. Imagine taking a stock Warthog and upgrading it throughout the game, turning it into a Covenant Killer or Forerunner Flattener. I’m not saying I had it all figured out (hence why the pitch bombed in concept), so if this doesn’t seem fully baked to you… it wasn’t.
I wasn’t sure which installation to use, so I put down 07 as a starting point. They’ve all had such a grand history, even the ones Master Chief didn’t blow up. Please feel free to use this for your next game, Bonnie Ross.
Or whoever.
From Zero to Hero of Time
Why am I having more fun with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild than Horizon Zero Dawn given that the latter is a thousand times prettier and more polished, with deeper customization and far better dialog?
Whoops, I started with the conclusion!
Remember to Forget
What would you ask the Gaming Fairy to make you forget?
Final Fantasy VI
My absolute favorite RPG and, um, obvious inspiration. I love the characters, the way the story builds, losing Terra at one point, the escape from Vector, your brief foray into the land of Espers. Especially the stunning second half where the bad guy wins and destroys the world. Rebuild your team and take him down.
That Next Next Next
The Resident Evil series is already known for its famous (infamous?) doors, and these new doors were almost surely the result of a lot of careful toil and consideration. I bet there was a whole team that worked on them. Month after month, just getting those doors nice and polished. We can’t ship until the doors are working, guys. Gotta pull some overtime and finish up the doors.
I’ve watched Markiplier play Resident Evil 7 and I agree: the door gameplay is amazing.
