She saved the project. Veilguard is very good.
I do not agree with the writing nonsense people speak about. Playing the game, the actions the characters make are logical.

I do wish they patched in the blood splatter and new game+ though. The art style is clearly a remnant of the live service. But, the game is very good. Great combat customisation.

I was skeptical, but after playing, this is Bioware getting out of the gutter and that mage vs templar nonsense that hamstrung the series for so long. The stakes are real once more.
I am optimistic about Mass effect 4. Don't listen to the internet haters/social warriors. This is a good game.

Lol... in truth it's 4 characters.

Yes. It sounds about right.
The back touch screen was definitly a bother and these resource arguments can be extended to PSVR as well. They really need to stop doing that.

@K1LLEGAL The market can't support 3 systems. It never could, which was why SEGA had to exit. Microsoft has deeper pockets, so they have kept going, but eventually Xbox needs to make big money.
They tried changing perspective to online services but even that is hitting a wall.
All that's left is to be a 3rd party.

@3Above Oh? And you think that is easy to replicate?
Does Sony have an IP the size of Marvel?

You are acting like this just happened by accident. Marvel rivals wasn't just thrown to the wall to see if it sticks.
They got the presentation and a rich IP.
Also Netease has to split the profits with Disney.

Good. Let's get back to making actual great on-brand single player games.
Praise our lord the Astro Bot for this turn around (and Concords spectacular failure)!

Shame that it took them this long to realise. Years of wasted work.

They really overstepped and lost the main picture, which is their platform. That is what their studios are for. To sell the platform and the software in a harmonious way.
For some reason they started thinking like a 3rd party publisher and that had it's consequences. They need to focus on their strengths. I guess Astro bot showed them the way. Not every one of these projects needs to be a multi year huge team open world. But quality single player experiences are what Sony is good at and where they need to go back to. That is what increases the value of the platform.

Also, Live services are not something you throw 10 at the wall and hope it sticks. Live services are saturated and it requires a big IP, a good developer, commitment to content support and player feedback and it must make sense. Like this god of war LS thing. It was a disaster waiting to happen. GoW is a single player game. Learn not to do that. It must make sense.

Now imagine looking at the pages and the font is 80. 🤣

Haha! Just joking. That is a lot of work.

Unfortunately i won't be playing this demo. I still need to catch up on 3 games. haha! I will get the game though.

I think people have been fooling themselves into thinking they don't compete. But they 100% do.
For example, i just decided to skip on the PS5Pro and get a switch 2 instead. 🤷‍♂️
As the graphical upgrades become less pronounced the more obvious it becomes.

What i heard is that the game is too hard and punishing on some end game portals. Which makes glass canon builds the only viable builds and defense stat useless cause you want to kill the boss before it has a chance to do it's mechanics. Also, that these portals close if you die and you can't go try again. So, there is no progression in learning the bosses. You just have to kill them asap and wether you have full defense or not you will get one shot.

I personally found that to not be ideal and "git gud" will not make players stay if they are frustrated.

Well... it's disappointing that they cancelled DW10, but if they were doing it open world again then it's for the best.
I want a DW10 in DW8 style, not DW9. With that said origins is not for me. It feels like a spin off.

Aww... the kupo one is cute.
Will miss Shuhei. He is one of the good ones.

Let's hope. Ecco is a special game.
I would love a new one or a remake that is well done.

Yeah... it's just not what i am looking for in a dynasty warriors game. It's taking Souls influence when they literally just made Wo Long.
I hope we get a proper DW10 in the future just like DW8. I want a large roster, each with unique weapons.

This has got to come out this year or squeenix' bottom line will hurt. They don't have an FFXIV expansion this year to carry slack.

A shame. It was a fun game. The focus on martial arts made it much better than GTA to me.

It will be historical if true.
It's like Sonic coming to gamecube/PS2.

Of course i turned it off. That eats up the SSD.

I was not surprised. The moment it was revealed it looked like a hit, even if not for me.

I hope Sony has a major marvel IP and an appealing game for people then. Now even journalists are going "if they can make it we can too". Probably cause it's not your money. 😂
Don't forget Disney is getting in on this pie as well.
This is not as easy as it might look. This is a very special case with a huge IP pushing it and we will see what it's real staying power will be once the buzz goes down.

They are remaking front mission 3 as well. I didn't even know that.
I did hear they were supposed to do panzer dragoon 2 remake too, but didn't hear anything about that after the first one.

You do know the "PC"is not a fixed system, yes? I don't see the surprise here.
I will add to the platitudes: If you don't have a good PC, you will in fact not run it at 4K 120fps!
Cause not everyone is buying a 4-6k euro/dollar PC every year.

I'm still salty about the lost collosi not having been added to the remake.
Dunno how it will make a movie. The world tells the story on this one and it will be difficult to capture that in film.

Bunch of hot air as no one actually knows anything yet.

They did say, but this is clearly a cut-scene, not gameplay. Just cause i know not everyone reads or can tell.
That is why it looks so fluid.
Nevertheless it looks good so far.

I will accept it's awesome if they give me the option to turn it off.

As long as the movies are well received he is willing to keep cashing in. 😂
With that said... what he doesn't know is the Robotnik's arc peaks with shadow.
There is only Sonic adventure 1 or Sonic CD/heroes left to adapt. I don't think anything that comes after has any sort of plot power. Maybe Sonic 06 for Silver's story minus the princess kissing.

I would love to see Wipeout, Syphon filter remake/sequel, Ape escape remake/sequel by team asobi and a remake/sequel of legend of dragoon. The last one will likely not happen unless they do it like FF7 remake.

I do wish they had added the lost colossi to the shadow of the collosus remake. That was annoying.

I liked it, but it wasn't amazing. It felt like a lesser Persona game. Still good, but not great. But this is probably fine to let the Persona series breathe a bit.

So, the game is alright, but the story was a disappointment compared to the previous entry.
There were still some good moments but there was no closure.

Well... what is interesting is that this assumes that there will be other studios within the company and they will start to do more than just fighters.

"We are looking" means looking and rejecting.
They were approached for a new Wild Arms and rejected it. It went to be a kickstarter success instead. But it obviously would've been better with proper financing.
They also rejected Rollcage that ended up the same and released as grip. Would've been amazing with proper funding and team.

Sony would make huge buck with a remake of Legend of dragoon, for example. It's a cult classic.

Ape escape is a super fun series that in the hands of team asobi it would flourish.

They want to outsource? Sure. But it proves they don't want to do it.
Sega went from outsourcing to now working on them themselves.

I mean... you say "for some reason" when this website ran articles saying so.
Can't act innocent when you have literally been doing it. 🤷

@Northern_munkey Well... i played the first one and got pretty bored of it. I definitely don't like Souls games either. 🤷
I played the trial of DD2 and researched it a lot cause i was undecided. The criticisms were sound. Lack of enemy variety, less skills, unrewarding(aka chests weren't rewarding exploration).
Are you gonna dispute those? When people say it's more of the same with less than what dark arisen had i kind of have to conclude it's not gonna satisfy me.
But if you say it's more of the same, we can agree it's not an "evolution".
Actually i am waiting to see if they make a dark arisen version of the second game that fixes the shortcomings.

Well... general consensus seems to be its worse than the original in every way except on graphics. So, probably shouldn't be here. That's not really an "evolution".

@NintenGuy Well, yeah, but i think the Nintendo home console crowd reduced significantly with the WiiU. So i do think the Switch audience is mainly the portable audience and a chunk of leftover of the home console crowd.
Either way, yes, i still say it's unthinkable the switch 2 will be anything but a success as the portable console market kind of merged with the home console one. The portable side of the market alone will make it a success. If it manages to hit the casual home console consumer like the switch did, then it may rival it.
Actually, looking at it that way, Nintendo did manage to capture it much better than competitors. Sony is only now noticing there is a merged market there and completely gave up the portable side of it until now. They erroneously thought there was a 3D headset side market of significance.

As for Microsoft, no one can really tell what they are thinking. Their console market is crashing. The series models have sold 30m and YoY are on sharp decline. They seem to think their game pass service is the new platform or anything that has a microsoft studios game. I call that third party though.

@NintenGuy We will see. But even if that were to happen, it would still be successful since the switch has outsold previous gens except the DS one. The switch is at an eye watering 146m. Even if the switch 2 was a 3DS it would still be about 80m. It will be a success. It would be unthinkable to expect otherwise.

@Foxhound That is a simplistic take. Nintendo had portable consoles as well and they have merged their markets.
The Switch 2 will likely continue the portability trend and will undoubtedly be a success just like every other Nintendo portable before, with the added bonus that it doubles as a home console.

I don't know what copium is going on here that the next switch will be anything but a success.
Nintendo would have to do something really dumb like not making it portable for it to even be a risk. But they obviously will not cause they care about the japanese market.

I think Microsoft already has, in a way.
They are clear that their console is just one of possible "xbox"platforms and anything having Microsoft games is considered an Xbox.
I mean... whatever floats their boat. But it seems to be a needless spending of money to keep making their own boxes.

But, i've been saying... Sony and Nintendo will start competing eventually cause they will be the only two left. Which is a good thing. If Microsoft exits the market, there will be less pressure to go into a tech race with high prices.

Reminder that i'm still not interested. 😅

I guess they are not self publishing after all.

And? What exactly is upgraded? It really depends on what it is and what it adds and if it's added as DLC for the main game.

I really don't think he is a god. I didn't like any of his games. But he has lots of fans, i'm sure.

Actually, there isn't much i want next year.
Will get trails through daybreak 2.
I am interested in Armed Fantasia but i doubt it will come out next year.
There is the capcom fighting collection 2 and Suikoden hd, xenoblade x remastered. But i'm not in a hurry to get them.

Might be able to save up next year. Depends on the switch 2.
I guess there is metroid prime 4 coming too and i may give crimson desert a go since it's such a slow year.

"Has the time". Lol
It's more if they want the money or want to outright close the studio.

Well... Swen is right, so too bad for them.
Sore losers. I am glad Wukong didn't win.

Oh? Are we going to have 2 witcher games now? Color me intrigued.

Have people not seen Rebirth and tales of destiny 2 in this list?
Those are titles never released in english.

They wouldn't be just remasters.

That ok. I was tearing up that Astro won. It was an important message for the industry especially after Sven's speech.

I did play. It was more than a disappointment. It proved 2D Sonic can suck as well.
There was a good recipe there. It was the longest 2D Sonic game, but first, the graphics. They weren't good. If you compare the animation of Sonic splashing into and out of the water, it was beautiful in Sonic mania. In superstars it was a dropplet next to sonic. Absolutely embarrassing. It showed the difference in the love that went into it. That was just an example. The levels just didn't look good.
Second and probably more important was the level design. The levels were just designed in a way that would launch you into a trap or grind you to a halt. Coming from mania's levels this was very disappointing. Also... those emerald special stages were awful. The bosses pretty crap as well. They went invincible when hit once and were scripted like hell so you couldn't beat them fast.
I also don't agree with taking away lives. It makes collecting rings feel less impactful.
Finally, third is that in the water and when the screen was locked into a scroll the controls felt off. Also everytime sonic was hit it felt off as well and he seemed to be magnetised to the nearest pitfall.

In conclusion, there was a good game idea here but the execution was terrible. It was a huge mistake. They should have given the project to the mania team and kept the sprite look. Also... that new character... please delete. That was vector. We already have him. No need for a new one. Mighty and Ray were also sorely missed.
