I went to see The Odyssey at the only IMAX 70mm theater in France (in Montpellier) and oh boy… i’ve seen better 480p screener mp4. What a terrible experience. Room too small for the screen, washed up colors, tiny transparent subtitles, sides of the screen flickering, bad audio. The seats were ok.

Another strong hit for French cinema: "De la comedie Française". Extremely fun, well written, actors are fantastic. It's like "The Studio" (the seth rogen tv show) but for French plays instead of hollywood. In the theaters right now (in France).

Simple rule about sequels: - if the first game was a success and has a huge median playtime: sequel will be commercially viable. - if the first game was a success and has a short median playtime (i.e. the success was mostly "conceptual" / because the game was surprising), the sequel will not sell.

C'est aujourd'hui, en fin d'après-midi, que sort Looking for Fael sur PC & Consoles ! 🧩 store.steampowered.com/app/2521170/... Les tests commencent à tomber et les premiers retours font plaisir à lire. Hâte de vous partager le trailer de lancement, car il contient une dernière belle surprise :)

Looking For Fael on Steam

Hello, this is Fael... Listen, this is going to sound strange, but... I think I'm lost in the apartment. Right now... I... I don't know where I am. Can you come and help me?

As an adult i appreciate Mario Party but each time i’ve played with kids it’s a complete disaster. The emotional tension for victory mixed with the complete randomness drives them crazy, arrogant, angry, broken. Maybe it works on Japanese kids idk but occidental kids egos are not trained for that.

If consoles bail out physical, it'll bring back physical on PC. There will always be a large amount of people who experienced strong emotions with a game who then will want to own it for the rest of their lives. Digital doesn't give you that...

Went to see Le Vertige from Dupieux on Sunday, and seeing the success of Backrooms at the same time made me realize that indie / experimental successes are quite rare in the movies compared to games. It's like once or twice a year while for games it's once or twice a month (good for the medium imo).

Watched The Lords of the Rings with my daughter and partner and it was a really strong experience. The best! I really want ti make them discover lodoss war but I need a french dub version, please help me find that. It existed in VHS. La guerre de lodoss doublage VF. S’il vous plait !!!! 🙇🙇🙇🙇

Trying out the SFC game and it's neat to have dialogue during the match and really good mode 7 and sprites, and it's quite unique to play a tennis game without fixed camera but behind the player instead.

Cairn’s free summer DLC, On The Trail, launches August 13! Wishlist on Steam and PS5 now. Experience Aava’s adventure for the first time or train for the new climbing spots coming this summer!

Played and finished Minishoot Adventures and I highly recommend it! It's a bit like Zelda meet Furi: exploration + dual stick shooter. Very chill, extremely well paced. Great controls, legibility, level design... I could dream of this game with a "Furi" package (character, art, music, story...).

J’en remets une couche mais je suis tellement fan que l’idée que j’aimerais que mes jeux préfèrés me la pique (oui je me fais des tshirts de fan moi meme depuis des années….). Ceci dit je pense que c’est mort d’attendre une update de shining force ou phantasy star 3 avec cette feature 🤪

L’histoire dans un jeu c’est plus que le scenario, c’est celle qu’on vit à travers nos interactions, nos péripéties gameplay. Et maintenant dans Cairn, les fans qui veulent un beau t-shirt souvenir peuvent commander un modèle unique, celui de leur histoire, leur ascension. ❤️ bsky.app/profile/theg...
