Pragmata on Nintendo Switch 2 is so high-quality that even developers were surprised

One of the more surprising announcements from The Game Awards is that the visually impressive sci-fi adventure Pragmata will launch on the Nintendo Switch 2 at the same time as other formats. In a new interview with the developers it has been revealed that the team were surprised at how the game holds up on the less powerful Nintendo Switch 2 console. In an interview with Famitsu the team says that visually it stands shoulder to shoulder with Resident Evil Requiem. There will soon be a demo for you to check out.

Oyama: “I think it’s reaching a level that stands shoulder to shoulder with Resident Evil: Requiem. We plan to release a demo on every home console the game will launch on, so I hope everyone will give it a try. It’​s shaping up to be something thoroughly enjoyable. Please wait just a little longer.”

Zhao: “When we first got it running on Switch 2, even the development team was surprised, saying, ‘Wow, it actually runs at this level of quality!’ The reaction was very positive.”

‐----
There's some Switch 2 screens on the eshop. A bit aliased with an upscaler it looks like.

I'm not sure what to expect from RE9 on switch 2.

The £90, generation pack is finally listed on amazon.

Regarding the hints, all previous Primes had hints. Just not a human giving them to you.

Retro Studios likes to channel Halo into their Metroid games.

Makes sense. I've read a lot if Halo devs jumped ship and went to Retro.

I've been playing Mario Kart World too much. I booted up Wave Race 64 This afternoon and every time I went off a high wave or  ramp, I instinctively tapped the right shoulder button to give my character a boost. Wave Race 64 does not have that feature, lol.

That's what I was thinking, the map used to point you where to head to. Now we have Miles radio in instead.

Nearing the end of the mines in Metroid Prime 4.

There are some ill judged parts of this game. The whole timed defence sections get old fast and are repeated a few times too many in the mines.

The sarge and kid characters suck, Miles is actually okay but the female tag along character is annoying AF.

I like the robot and feel that he could expand its use as a non annoying helper.

The lava dungeon was total ass. But the mines are better. Now I have most power ups, exploring the desert and levels hunting for power ups feels much better.

It's a flawed but overall very enjoyable game. It's level design isnt anywhere near the complex layouts of the older games but its still fun to play and very atmospheric.

This weekend have just played some Octopath Traveler 0. Am very much enjoying it. The villains are so over-the-top evil and I really dig it. LOL

I wrapped up Rayman Legends and played a bit of NiGHTS Into Dreams, mainly to stream the Christmas level. And I just started a weird AF game called Little Misfortune, which is some kind of twisted dark humor depressing adventure game. That'll be the nighttime streaming game for some time.

And I still need to start Final Fantasy 16 one of these days.

Every year I tell myself I'm going to play Christmas NiGHTS during the holidays, and then I never do. So I'm calling this one a victory.

Always wanted to try Little Misfortune but it never goes below £5.30

I managed to squeeze in a couple of games of Tetris 99.  Go me!

I had wanted to play some MKWorld, but for some reason our internet hasn't been all that great for about a week now and I had suffered some disconnects, which are severely punished in MKW so I just gave up.  Sad

I think you get screwed by the Nintendo tax. I picked it up because it was on sale for only $6 on PSN. I figured at that price, it was worth the risk. And wow, this is not a comfortable game to play.

PS3. Sega made the remaster available for PS3 and Xbox 360. I don't think it ever was updated for any other systems since then. It's one of the reasons I'll never box up the PS3. There's still a handful of exclusives then I'm not going to be able to play anywhere else.

It was on Steam, but it was delisted along with a couple other older Sega games about a year ago. There was a rumor that Sega was going to start a streaming service, and those delisted games were looked at as proof of it, but I don't think I've heard anything else about that streaming service since the original word got leaked back in spring.

I have NiGHTs on PS3 and Steam. They should re-release it on Switch along with the Wii sequel.

RIP Rob Reiner.

Edit: I hope they catch the POS that murdered him and his wife.
