More discoveries as I go through my old games. It's possible I've never opened the box for this copy of Taito Legends until now. Inside is the game itself but also someone's jammed the disc for Final Fantasy X-2 in there, a game I definitely didn't buy myself 😄

So, last night, I was quite giddy with excitement for today's #VGMWednesday

I've been meaning to share this one for a while, and I engineered an excuse. You could say I didn't need to, but I am the one who decided on an annual theme of things I have played recently.

So recently, I replayed and recorded a Let's Play of Extermination for #PS2 , which is an early 6th generation survival horror.
For a game of its genre, on new hardware, released in 2000, it's not bad, in my opinion. It has some jank, and the voice acting is pretty choice.

But I am here to drop the biggest twist this game has to offer. This is the ending track that plays during the final cutscene as it fades to credits. [Candy Girl]

It feels like some kind of prank or shitpost, though during the credits you get about a minute of this before it fades to generic actiony ending music, you'll know what I mean when you hear.
That's cowardice in my book. They should have done the full song.

jumped into some #socom3 tonight. never got to play this title back in the day. it's really fun!

the only issue is for some reason my triangle button never lets me crouch, it only lets me go prone. that's ok, i don't mind doing the worm while infiltrating bases.

I have whipped up a quick and dirty PlayStation 2 ghosting/motion blur/frame blending effect!

## Creates a PlayStation 2-like frame blending effect.
##
## Add to _process(). The frame blending effect is applied to the area 
## within the boundaries of the texture_rect node.
## It is recommended to only set the alpha to less than 1.
func frame_blend(texture_rect: TextureRect, alpha: float = 0.5, use_frame_post_draw: bool = true, viewport: Viewport = get_viewport()) -> void:
	alpha = clamp(alpha, 0.0, 1.0) # Alpha values are 0 through 1

	var image: Image = Image.new()
	var texture: ImageTexture = ImageTexture.new()

	image = viewport.get_texture().get_data() # FORMAT_RGBAH
	image.flip_y() # Images start out upside-down. This turns it rightside-up.
	if use_frame_post_draw:
		yield(VisualServer, "frame_post_draw") # Changes the vibe.
	texture.create_from_image(image) # Turn Image to ImageTexture
	texture_rect.modulate.a = alpha # Changes the opacity of the frame blending
	texture_rect.texture = texture # Applies the image of the last frame to the texture_rect

I've been very preoccupied lately. I apologize about the lack of game dev updates, but I've got a lot on my plate right now and those important things takes priority.

New blog post time!

This week's game is City Crisis, a PS2 helicopter sim about rescuing people from fires and catching perps in high speed chases. It might look like a silly game from afar, but it takes both its premise and scoring mechanics quite seriously, making it stand out:

This will be a thread about the #GTA Trilogy consisting of GTA III (2001), Vice City (2002) and San Andreas (2004). 🏙️

They introduced 3D to the series and were published for #PS2, PC and #Xbox during their original release.

The team always wanted the series to move to 3D and had experimented with 3D worlds in games like Body Harvest and Space Station Silicon Valley. With the release of the PS2 they felt a large 3D world was possible.
