Well, I'm not sure if you only saw the images posted in the OP, as that is a character model with no lighting, environments or any additional detail that you would see in the game.



The game itself is very beautiful. It's interesting how thread derailment is allowed here, but not in any other thread. He's an asshole, we get it. That has little to do with technical breakdowns.

When looking at this trailer he very obviously fixed this "issue." The sprites look clean, crisp and free from wobbling/jittery artifacts when the camera moves around.

You're right. I don't believe him. So I will keep calling him out for being a misogynist piece of trash until proven otherwise. His words don't mean shit to me. His actions do.
Well that's nice, go ahead and go make your own thread for that. If you have something to add about Octopath or Pixel Art aliasing, that'd be great.

I already did in a previous post where I quoted you? So yeah, I did great apparently. And no, I will not create my own thread about it and prefer to inform people about this scumbag's actions right here as long as the moderation allows for it. If you take issue with that, resolve it on that front. Until then, I'll say exactly whatever the fuck I want about gamergators.

Some really interesting tech, never would have thought it such hard work to get the retro look right. Shame about all the shit posting.

If you want the thread to stay on topic when dealing with a controversial figure like this piece of trash misogynist, the least you could do is preface your OP with explaining and informing others about his past actions instead of trying to whitewash his involvement in a hate movement with posts like the one right above this. The only reason he asked for forgiveness was because he was caught in a PR shit storm. That shit storm isn't going to go away any time soon by either him or you ignoring what he stands for. That has nothing to do with being "beyond redemption" and everything to do with hoping the "annoying" people go away because you are uncomfortable with them not being ok with this moron's actions being treated like just "an opinion".

Either face it head on or leave others to point it out of you can't at least provide the courtesy of doing that in your OP, but please don't come in here and stan for him trying to shut other people's valid complaints down because they don't fit your narrative that we should be ok with him at this point because pixel filtering is apparently more important to discuss than shutting down hate speech that has a real effect on real peoples' lives. Sorry, but I disagree with you.

Explicitly supporting a movement actively forcing women to flee their homes = "having shitty views". Aight.
All of this. And it's clear based on his twitter activity that he hasn't changed. Obviously the people who are fine with it aren't paying attention because they don't give a shit. "can't wait for this game it looks so good"
Yeah okay.
And to be more directly on topic, he's not far from the crappy lazy dev rethoric but that's not surprising, he reeks of superiority complex and that's apparent in other twitter threads of him.

Apparently does not apply to all threads. From this websites TOS:

It's obvious the mods are fine with posts criticizing Soret, as they've been through the thread already with none of those posters being warned or banned (someone was banned earlier for something else).

IDK what to tell you other than to PM a mod and see what they have to say. But IIRC, the last time we had a thread about The Last Night, a mod said it was fair game to bring up his behaviour and political beliefs, so I'm not sure you'll change their minds.

Why do you think that it's not relevant to discuss the beliefs that inform the game's story and design?

Here's a recent tweet where he denies changing anything about the game because he doesn't believe there's anything to change:

Is it okay to give a free pass to media with toxic ideology just because it looks pretty?

ah this explains the other thread.

i think buying this game is a pretty clear tell about your personal politics, and how you think of women. not sure how anyone could seperate that from the alt right pandering the story is about.

As the nature of this game makes its politics central to and inseparable from the product, it does not appear that this discussion will be productive until the game itself is available for critique.
