That Nintendo Direct was, ok. The highlights for me were:
Welp.That didn't happen.
I feel like the leakers lied to us, those of us who were paying attention.
I was expecting some big AAA games blowout or at least a few more heavy hitters.
What that Nintendo Direct showed was literally a continuation of every game series and/or publisher that already supported Switch.
There were good games, great ones even but there was nothing surprising or unexpected.
I wanted to see something I didn't expect, here's The Oblivion remaster, or Death Stranding.
We've been led down the garden path by leakers saying all this support is coming and then we see, what?
Another Monster Hunter Stories, another Octopath Traveler (which will be awesome btw)
And more Persona and Yakuza.
Bloober teams game looked decent ish. Star Wars Outlaws looks okay.
I’m also interested in:
Im interested in the Hyrule Warriors games but they need to be a bit cheaper.Was glad to see proper Switch 2 versions of Yakuza Kiwami and a couple of other games.
Sega seems to want to port as many Yakuza games as possible. I almost bought Kiwami a few weeks back but the sale timed out before I got it.
Wonder if it has an upgrade path?
Most monitors support multiple refresh rates, and 60Hz is a very common standard. You can usually change the refresh rate in the Windows display setting (but most monitors just pick up the change natively and you don't have to do anything.
I'll give it a go this weekend, it's been a while.
I still play Pinball for the Atari 2600 several times a year.
I didn't get into Video Pinball all that much, probably because I had Midnight Magic first. I should give both a go tonight.
Man, the Windwaker's camera and controls are rough.
Windwaker HD's camera was great. I can't recall how it was on the GCN.
Not good. Would love to play the hd version. I was much more forgiving back then.
One of the worst things about that gen was not being able to change x and y camera settings on games.
It's agood thought, but I don;t think they'll do that unless they need to pad for time to polish the new Metroid.
Given the accidental display of the poster in the UK last month I'd suspect a almost shadow drop of the new game -- like a 3 week launch cycle. I thin the game has already gone gold and they are just giving Bananza 2-3 months to soak in before the next big launch.
That's what I'd do anyway.
This is more of a forum topic worthy question.
I had a XB1 and PS4 and that's the last time I'll have systems from both. If the current gen XB had true 100% backward compatibility for XBOriginal and 360 I'd have bought two of them by now. But they fucked that up. And I've held of on PS5 because Sony has apparently euthanised their development studios. MS has more hits on PS than Sony at this time.
This job posting is not an indication that Sony is going multiplat for their exclusives. They are a electronics manufacturer. Sony games will launch on Sony electronics and then when it makes sense launch on any platform that makes sense. At some point we will see Last of Us on Switch 2, I guarantee it. But the next release will stay on Sony first for a long time, then eventualy come to PC (and XB if there are any more XB) and then finally to Nintendo (Nintendo will always be last because they don't want to erode JP market for their PS hardware sales).
Don't PC owners already get the majority of Xbox content and a smattering of Sony content?
Yes, but Sony comes really late currently.
That's why I am predominatly PC these days. Steamdeck makes it easier.
Maybe in the future, being price dependent, if I have more time on my hands I might explore getting another console. But I've found I can't even max out and play all the games I already have on my backlog.
Given the higher price of games these days Im more likely to save my pennies for first party stuff and hobo price buy indie games instead.
Over a week ago, I loaned my PS5 to my sister so she could play my disk copy of Kena Bridge of Spirits. I put my Atari 7800+ in its place on my TV stand and stacked up a bunch of carts on both sides. I thought I'd miss the PS5 once it was gone, but I haven't.
I’ll probably always get the three main consoles myself. I have collections of hundreds of games for Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo libraries. As long as they maintain the current backwards compatibility support then I’ll have an interest in getting the newest systems for that alone.
