    To even play this you have to jump through hoops and have your copy of the PS4 version. Not problem for me because I do. But this is not a true port. Because those without a PS4 copy won’t be able to play. Also you need bit tech savvy as well.

    Can someone fill me in on the source of the whole Hitler/Jew discussions going on?

      Let’s see if we can help you figure this out.

      1: Look for key figures of interest in the headlines

      2: Read the article

      3: Look at the top comments and the names of the people involved

      4: Don’t ask Chat to figure it out for you this time

        I’m not new to this.

        I read the article. I searched for anything about the kid doing this project. Tried a few searches with his name and ‘jew’ or ‘hitler’ or a handful of other cross terms. I also trued looking through news articles, in addition to straight web searches, and came up with nothing. THAT is when I asked for clarification, and that is when you felt the need to answer with essentially LMFGTFY.

        So feel free to provide some useful information, or STFU.

    The port is excellent, btw. It runs very well, with just a few small, non-breaking bugs, and cool extra features like higher resolutions, unlocked frame rates, jumping to different loops in the game, VR mode, etc.

    Edit: Never mind. This “person” is a Nazi. Fuck that. Also removed the bit about it being ported by a “human” because fascists are not human. They rejected their own humanity to become what they are.

        Fascists aren’t human, I agree. But where are you getting that this person is a Nazi? I don’t know anything about them other than their work on the PT port.

        Edit: I’ve seen some others claim that the dev is fascist-aligned in random livestream chats too, but no one is able to share sources there. Please share if you have a source on this. I would genuinely like to know.

        Edit again: Never mind. I see that other commenters have provided screenshots from this “person’s” social media posts stating that they hate Jewish people. I’d say that’s pretty conclusive evidence that they’re a Nazi. Fuck that.

        Don’t dehumanize Nazis. That’s literally that they do. It’s important to acknowledge they are human.

          If you’re saying that it’s important to remember that no one is born fascist, and therefore anyone can become one if they choose to, then I agree.

          However, fascists abandoned their humanity to become what they are. Just because they are incorrect to dehumanize others, that does not mean that we need to ignore that they dehumanized themselves. They can choose to re-humanize themselves at any time by adopting humanity into their ethics and politics.

      I think you’re already implying this and don’t wanna talk past you, but this was AI + human-in-loop as opposed to pure vibecode, not AI-free.

      Doing this solo with zero AI would far more intractable (though not impossible).

    I’m really glad this iconic game is available for everyone, but I’m also fortunate enough to still have a PS4 haunted by the original code. It’s fun to pull out every couple years.
