  • There’s a process called certification you need to pass in order to release on a console where they test your game against a list of criteria outlined in the developer agreement to validate stability, minimum performance,and conformance with platform standards. Nintendo pioneered this process (the Nintendo seal of quality) in response to unauthorized developers releasing cartridges which ran poorly and could freeze or even cause damage to consoles.

    For a while, console manufacturers pretty strict about certification requirements but as time goes on they’ve been granting more and more exceptions to large publishers willing to pay fees and pinky-promise to fix the issues post-launch.











  • They do a decent job portraying the family dynamic but they’re trying to cram a lot into a single movie and while they achieved an impressive feat by actually getting it all in there, none of it has the space to be truly excellent.

    If you’re just looking for a movie that (finally) does justice to the Fantastic Four then this is it. It’s not the greatest marvel movie ever but it’s solid.


  • I haven’t seen Thunderbolts.

    Superman was really good, particularly at setting up emotional stakes. I felt visceral disgust at how awful Lex Luthor was. Lois’s relationship with Superman was complex and they challenged each other’s ideals. The plot also felt topical without being too hamfisted, characters and situations were reminiscent of real people and situations while still feeling like they had their own identity instead of being cheap stand ins.

    Fantastic Four was ok, it doesn’t do anything wrong but I didn’t find anything about it particularly memorable or groundbreaking. Acting, direction, effects, and writing were all competent and it’s definitely the best F4 movie ever made but that’s not enough for me to recommend it unless you’re a huge F4 fan.
