Re: Dragon Quest 3's HD-2D Remake Re-Emerges for PS5

@Grumblevolcano Doubt it. It’s an HD-2D remake and the Switch has a lot of HD-2D games. It was probably planned for Switch but usually with this HD-2D games, it’s usually some form of Switch exclusivity or just released on fewer platforms. And they will also release it on other platforms later on. But this one, they’re bringing it to ALL the main platforms (minus Xbox one and PS4) so this is a bit new for them.

Re: Rumour: Next Tomb Raider Said to Be Open World, Set in India

For those who don't know who King Ashoka was (I am Indian myself so if this rumor is true, then I am quite happy), let me give you all a bit of background (from Wikipedia so its mostly general knowledge)

Emperor Ashoka aka "Ashoka the Great" was the third Mauryan Emperor of Magadha. He was credited with spreading Buddhism across ancient Asia.

He was a Hindu before becoming Buddhist but he WAS also a very violent emperor. Ashoka loved to fight in wars. He was also apparently stated to be quite cruel as well before converting to Buddhism according to both Sri Lankan and North Indian traditions.

Then came a war. The war is known as the Kalinga War. It was at this war that Ashoka saw the violent, bloodshed and destruction that he felt he was the cause of all of it. And thus he converted to Buddhism and began preaching and devoting himself to ahimsa (non-violence) and dharma vijaya (victory through dharma). He ended the military expansion of his empire and then began an era of peace, prosperity and harmony. Some say he converted to Buddhism before Kalinga War.

Ashoka's symbols are used in the national flag of India which has the Ashoka chakra in the middle. The state emblem of India is an adaptation of the Lion Capital of Ashoka. I found this all on Wiki and looked up on other sources. History can differ from one source or the other but this is how I saw it.

Re: PS3 Classics Oblivion and Fallout 3 are Reportedly Being Remastered

Quake 1 and Quake 2 remaster's came out on Playstation and Nintendo so I think these will come to Playstation and Nintendo eventually.

Future Bethesda games will be Xbox and PC exclusive but that doesn't mean older Bethesda games will be exclusive. Also iirc you can play Fallout 3 and maybe ES Oblivion via BC on Xbox so there is also that.
