I thought it would integrate with their games and let you see the setups of the car on that screen, that'd be really cool tbh

Boss intro music "worked" in TXR Drift, they just played wrong tracks, just like most other discrepancies. Boss battle music was completely nonfunctional in this release, though, and only played Race Night music. Once again possibly hinting at Drift using earlier code - now fixed

I don't know exactly why this happened. It might be that TXR Drift code is based off earlier Kaido Battle, predating the addition of those two tracks, but I have no proof of that from any other game systems. Crave's translations were always weird, but this is something else.

TXR Drift messed up the soundtrack quite badly compared to Kaido Battle - all tracks were shipped, but the code looked as if it expected a smaller list, with 2 tracks from the middle of the list gone. I brought them back to the Music Test, and will restore the JP race OST too.

People never used mods like this seriously, they were always made to prove a point: in the past, they were made to flex your understanding of both the source and the target game, "I documented them so well, I can do this". Now they flex... that you have tokens to burn, I guess?

Blackwood has a -long- way to go, but I feel like they can make it work. The idea is there, they're patching the rough edges rapidly, but it still needs to deliver on their vision.

That's what kept me busy at work lately! It was good to be able to work with consoles again, and I'm happy to see possibly the biggest project I've been a part on release on multiple platforms now. My physical PS5 copy can't arrive soon enough 😁

Just 7000€ to fund the baseline + playable prototype + reputable people behind the project, at this point it's a no-brainer to chip in

BLACKWOOD: Act 1 is an ambitious, smaller-scale game that fuses two gameplay loops: by day, you manage the DVD store; at night, you're an assassin. The result is a slightly janky but fun shooter with unusual pacing that shows a lot of promise. My review: silentsblog.com/2026/09/16/b...

My initial impression was wrong: those do *not* seem to be low-effort re-releases, but proper modernizations of the original games keeping the style but upgrading the internals! The blog post calls out a DirectX 8 -> 11 migration, and more. Now I'm def curious. store.steampowered.com/news/app/360...

Life is good as Stuntman Ignition is now fully playable in RPCS3, and, unlike the X360 version, it's not capped to 30 FPS - so when emulated, it can reach stable 60 FPS! The game is BC on Xbox One, but it lacks FPS boost, so RPCS3 is the best way to play it.

Inspirations from Mafia II's random sim/interactivity elements are very evident in BLACKWOOD I think

I took note of BLACKWOOD as soon as it was announced, and now I got to try it ahead of next week's release, taking notes on both tech (it's Unity!!!) and gameplay. When it comes to combat and gunplay, they understood the assignment: it scratches that Max Payne & John Wick itch.

For the original 2016's PC ports, my dev PC had a late Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM and a GTX 550 Ti - so both games ran fine with this config. This minspec in comparison is... quite something. They are unlikely to be "real" min specs, they most likely only tried on a few PCs for now.

Very curious to see what Blackwood turns out to be like. I certainly can see the vision behind it

Silent @cookieplmonster.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Which I think is fair, it's Early Access-like but without movable goals

Silent @cookieplmonster.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Blackwood is advertised as "Act 1" releasing September 16, and I was wondering if it means sequels, or if episodes are already planned. The store page now provides the answer: they are going for the Life is Strange-like model, where Act 2 and 3 are already set in stone, and will be free upgrades!

The Early Access version of Throttle Trace (out September 15th) changed quite a bit from the Next Fest demo, but I think it's going to be a lot of fun. I'm curious to see how in-depth the career mode is.

No, you just need to set up a steep slope and then delete a block right before it, things will go haywire. No "hacking" involved
