Wow, the Nintendo leak is huge, I'm surprised they still kept source code for NES era games.

What happened?

good it got leaked

in my opinion every source code for every game ever made should be public ... but that's just me :p

But then anyone can steal the code and use it for their own games. Dunno if it's good. I wouldn't want source code for my stuff to be openly available

Rumors about a new state of play in early august. possibly the 6th.

I do hope for Bloodborne, but my hope is decreasing.

Big chance Silent Hill and the next mainline Final Fantasy will appear.

I'm cool with all source code & assets being freely open and available 10 years after creation.

I don't give a shit who looks at my source code of all my projects work and personal.

I wish I had my source code to a lot of my stuff I made from childhood to teen. All I have is the programs I wrote on paper (because that's what you did before the modern times).


The Nintendo stuff is especially valuable because that is one of the greatest creators at their absolute prime. It really is like discovering work in progress artifacts of the Renaissance masters. That stuff especially should be shared with the world. id did it with Doom, but Nintendo never would have done it willingly.

Too bad your art stands amongst the greats, now suffer the world reveling in its glory.

Stallman was right. I don't agree with Carmack on a lot of stuff but his releasing of idTech's source code was a thing I always found admirable. I think the "when" to release it is much more impactful than the "should we". A rising tide lifts all ships and countless programmers learned the trade thanks to Quake 3's code.

One year is crazy though. 4-5 is reasonable in my opinion. Otherwise, what distinguishes it from piracy?

No idea.

You could, theoretically, get game pass for 3€ and then just buy the Lego DLC for 15€.

Not sure how I feel about buying DLC for a rented game though. But it's a possibility, especially if you plan to stay on game pass anyway.

While I am more for proper release and less for leaks, for preservation and education sake, I'm not against this. Nintendo needs to either just release a repository of their old code somewhere so this doesn't happen this way in the future or tighten security. I'm obviously for them releasing their code.

It also would seem any excuse for not re-releasing their old titles as properly working digital releases on new consoles in BS. They must have servers of nothing but old source code and prototypes if this kind of thing is leaking 20 years after the fact.

Until August the 15th, forget it. After that's IF you are on a good year :sweaty-blob:
Mid-September is a safe bet for the kind of temp and weather that suits me.

I would love for every source code to be made accessible, even if it's just to preserve the game for the future.
Especially when some devs or pubs don't Archive their own creations. How often do we hear that a remaster of a game is impossible because the source code is lost? Just recently, the guys who did the C&C remaster had to search for weeks and months to get a partially complete source code and media of the old game that they could remaster.

And one of my favorite Mods, Jagged Alliance 1.13 would not have been possible without the source code from the original devs.

I also hope for the Remaster to be confirmed and a PC version as well.

Yep!

It is wild that there are companies that aren't on the brink that just sometimes wipe their old stuff. I can understand if a company hits hard times and they have to reuse old long term storage, but that's disappointing too.

Tis the anarchist way
I approve.
Wanna know what I find is the most terrifying part of gaming?
Games taht released ONLY on Android and iOS. How are these games being preserved? one ios game I had from years ago was delisted and while it was a simple auto runner, it looked cute and the fact that it is gone from the world is disappointing.
Even if its creators moved on, seeing how 1000s of consoles games and even PC games got preserved makes such games being erased from history very disappointing.

The date is the most important part IMO
Hope that one's true.

Take it to the next level: who is preserving specific versions of games? There's a LOT of digital games, not even just on mobile, where the game has been VERY SIGNIFICANTLY ALTERED, where the content, assets, gameplay etc is very different. Some of those old versions won't even be retained in working order at the developer.

So long as it has way to change it - be it third party app or internal switch, whatever. It's not metro, but i seems to be regressing backwards
That being said, it doesn't look too much different from my win10 start menu, albeit with a different colour

idiots

The video is extremely detailed and doesn't let MS off the hook for anything, not even art direction which some might find outside of the scope of a purely tech assessment. People, like always, go into things seeing what they want to see for the benefit of console warz.
