The framing of this fight is impeccable‼️
The silhouettes, the assumption you're fighting Icarus, the music...
It's perfection, until you find out Kratos has been tricked yet again into ending the life of someone he had no intention of killing🥲
Rest easy spartan...
One of the best Vergil themes. Much better than Bury the Light, imo.
BUT, Battle 3 is a full-blown concert piece: much more orchestral, theatrical, and poetic. It’s the absolute apotheosis. To me, it perfectly reflects Vergil’s duality between his demonic and human heritage.
I especially love the harp, which you can hear almost discreetly woven into the choirs. It brings a sense of lightness and tenderness (the human/Eva side). The cello. And the violin that’s already present, particularly during the final blow. This music has absolutely nothing to envy from John Williams.
A small Easter egg that's been missing for 24 years - the original Japanese version of PS2 Sons of Liberty had a different ringtone for the mobile phone, which went missing in all future versions of the game.
Will be restored for all regions with MGSHDFix 3.1.0. :3
zelda native port status. my bet is all mainline games could get a native port by the end of year. the decompile projects have been going for a long time, and they have mature tooling to reach 100% fidelity. all is left is to embrace coding agents for a massive speedup.
