Interplay's VR Baseball '97 for PlayStation (and probably also PC) boasts fully licensed MLBPA players, MLB teams, and ballparks. The main menu plays "Rock and Roll Part II." It's got everything you need for the baseball experience. What it doesn't have: actual brands for product placement. Many of the stadiums have rather silly billboards with all manner of weird shit written on them.

The best is yet to come though. One more post.

Some Interplay artists were having quite a lot of fun writing stuff on these billboards. The one I really, really wanted a screenshot of, that exists in only two of the game's 28 stadiums, was the Pizza in a Cup one. Because, really, what the hell. But extra points go to McDONTKNOW & SONS, and Juicy Hide Beef Jerky - "America's Dried Flesh of Choice."

How the hell did we (300 Pounds) get out-fake-ad'd by Interplay in 1997???? These are fantastic

while we've managed to scrimp and save to make it to kitsune tails' release day, releasing august 1st means we won't see any money for almost 2 months until its the end of september

our other games are currently on sale on itch and steam and buying some or all of them would help tremendously

if you don't wanna buy our games or if you've already done that and wanna help out more i also have a ko-fi and a patreon

just in case this wasn't clear, we're talking "we need rent money for two months" rather than "oh no our business account is going to dip a little low"

I appreciate the higher detail models in Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary, but man, we did not need these new textures and materials. Looking hand painted was a lot of the beauty of this (and Rayman 2), so going back over and adding realistic skin and cloth textures kind of spoils that. And the new lighting seems to wash out skin tones a lot more often. Nobody is asking for 7% more realism in this art style. Either remake the entire game from scratch (don't) or leave the art direction alone.

Haha, the Switch version has to dumb the new textures back down but it still struggles to hit 30fps.

Good job, Ubisoft.

Yeah, I was watching the DigitalFoundry video on it, and they kept talking about how the textures were a beautiful upgrade but in the side-by-side shots, all I could think was that they seemed like a subjective upgrade, possibly downgrade depending on who was being asked. I didn't exactly feel impressed, and I'm the weirdo who thinks Quake 2 RTX looks amazing even though it does similar. Hardly the worst example I've ever seen, at least...
