Nah the ps3 is still 5 years old… right? It’s 2011… right?

I started Star Wars Outlaws on my Switch 2. 18 hours in so far and really enjoying it. Besides that not much else. I’m planning on starting Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty soon.

After beating Quantum Break and Pokemon Legends Z-A this week it’s back to The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. I’ve also been playing through Mega Man X and decided to finally give Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 a go after not playing Fortnite for a month now.

Besides those I’m debating on finally starting Metal Gear Solid 2.

Already pre ordered an NS2 copy. Beyond the arcade games and having played ps3 Y3 I’m going in blind. Also first time I’m not playing it on PlayStation after 11 years of playing them exclusively on PlayStation.

I’m still skeptical with Persona 4 Revival being the next big thing. My guess is we’ll get a final big P5 spin off, maybe a collection of the Q/Etrian Odyssey Persona games or the Dancing games and then P6 before the end of 2027.

Reminds me of when Borderlands 2 got a new expansion exclusively on ps4, Xbox One, Switch and PC to bridge the gap between 2 and 3.

Pokemon Legends Z-A, Powerwash Simulator and The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask on my Switch 2

Happy new year for everyone at NintendoLife, PureXbox, PushSquare and TimeExtension!

May GTA VI finally release! May Pragmata be an amazing new IP! May Ace Attorney 7 finally be announced! May we get some amazing first party games from Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony! And most of all, may we see little to none layoffs and may the AI bubble burst!

The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask on Nintendo Switch Online. Also finally started Once Upon a Katamari on Switch 2

Still slowly working through Powerwash Simulator too. And been thinking about starting Resident Evil Revelations and Star Wars Outlaws.

I’ve stopped caring about Ps+ value. I pay for online, I might occasionally play a free game, I’m satisfied regardless. (I know the free games is what we’re technically paying for since the ps3 days.)

EDIT: I do activate all games every month if I ever want to play it later.

Playing The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask for the first time ever on my *Switch

Powerwash Simulator on Switch and One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 on Switch 2. Enjoying both.

Also started Trails of Cold Steel on Ps5.

Haven’t found a sidekick I want yet but Mothman Jr. came close. Each battle pass will have 1 side kick according to Epic so we’ll atleast get another “free” one next week.

@Max_the_German the issue people have with AI isn’t that it’s poor, bad or low quality. It’s that it wasn’t made with intent and thought by humans.

@nhSnork XBC3 uses procedural generation which companies lump in with Gen AI these days but it isn’t Gen AI. Everything involved is still fully done by humans, they just make a code that puts those human made assets in a random sequence or order.

Minecraft uses the same tech and gen AI didn’t even exist in 2009.

@ButterySmooth30FPS original release was a trilogy of psp games. They’re remaking them as Chapter 1, 2 and 3.

Hopefull finishing Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter on the Switch 2 and starting Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance.
Also some Fortnite with friends on Ps5.

So for digital it only counts the electricity cost of the installation of a once and done game towards the emission but for physical is considers everything from the extraction and refinery of oil to the hypothetical situation that people throw their games in the trash once they’re done with it making it landfill fodder

@Enigk Fortnite is generally known as the cheapest and most consumer friendly live service game due to how bundles work, how the game makes completing passes so easy and how the game showers you with Vbucks and free cosmetics and skins all the time.

Despite all that, yes, FN is still quite expensive

These pets/sidekicks are getting pushback because they’re as expensive as skins but have to be rebought every time you want to change their style. Something no other cosmetic in game has with the exception of a single 6 year old skin which is probably the most hated cosmetic in game to the point epic never tried it again until now.

@SeaDaVie they’ve also fired someone for smoking weed.

@PuppetMaster with 9 being a sequel to the outbreak games I can see them remaking outbreak 1 and 2 sooner rather than later.

@Porco between 0, 1, 5, 6, Code Veronice, Outbreak and Outbreak 2 we have a good 15+ years of remakes left and after those they can probably still do Revelations 1 and 2.
By that time they can stop remaking RE games and just swap between mainline sequels, spin offs and spin off sequels.

@Dan12836666 that doesn’t even make sense as they keep rereleasing 5. And 5’s rerelease on Switch was during peak callout culture which we’re long past.

@Oram77 it’s great, people just want 0, 1 and CV to be playable as over the shoulder action horror games. It’s not really about what’s better, moreso about consistency between the modern games and the pre 7 games.

At this point they’ll remake Survivor, Dead Aim and Degeneration before they’ll remake Code Veronica.

@Vermines there is no simpsons movie game
Around the time of the movie EA released “The Simpsons The Videogame” but that was coincidence 😅

I’m excited for it personally but the expectations is that it’s gonna do numbers to the playerbase in a bad way. Ever since mini season 1 (Star Wars) the concurrent players has been dwindling and it’s been below 1 million for a month now which has never happened before.

Mind you 900k concurrent players is still insane for an 8 year old game and the daily unique players is still in the 10 million since its not the same people being logged in 24/7 obviously so the game is still healthy.

@Jacko11 probably €25 for all 5 + 2 emotes, a glider, 5 backpacks and 5 pickaxes if recent 5 skin licensed bundles are anything to go by.

The car however will be an additional €25 😭

A bit mainly because I know Sony is capable of so much more and has done so much more.
I do enjoy their modern stuff but I wish they never closed Sony Japan Studios.

2 amazing indie games and an amazing indie turned AAA game.

At the end of Chibi-Robo on the Switch 2. After that I’ll try and finish Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice before Trails in the Sky: 1st Chapter releases.
Maybe I’ll try and squeeze in Guacamelee.

Sounds like what Bayonetta 1 to 3 did.

Goemon please.
Or give us a goemon collection. Either works.

@get2sammyb not until the PushSquare, NintendoLife and PureXbox reviews are out!

We also need our obligatory “game was mid” hot take cycle to start in 2 months.

Damn 4 games I installed last month to play soon.
Guess I’ll be looking for the physicals again.

@LifeGirl sorry for the second @
IIRC they also sued games over using a frying pan as a melee weapon because they argued PUBG’s “iconic” frying pan default melee weapon was too closely associated with their brand.

And they sued a game over using “winner winner chicken dinner” for similar reasons

@LifeGirl yeah they argued that PUBG invented the Battle Royale genre and term even though the Genre was literally created by a Minecraft mod and the term was literally stolen from a movie with a similar concept.

Ace Attorney Spirit of Justice and Fortnite on the Switch 2
Not much else.

@nessisonett yeah I’m double on this. On the one hand I don’t want Atari gobling up indie devs because of Atari’s past. On the other hand Atari has been treating their studios really well and they’re kinda an indie publisher atm seeing how small they are and what they make.

Can’t wait for “Ellie Attorney: A the Last of Us Visual Novel”

I used to love Beta Ray Bill as a child. Happy with his inclusion.

@PuppetMaster Gunn and Suda both have stated in the past they where blocked from any involvement with the franchise. They both have tried to reaquire the IP for a potential remake or sequel and Gunn even offered to help out with music licensing for the remaster.

No Suda and no Gunn means no interest from me.
I hate how they where both blocked from any future involvement despite offering to help fund a remake.

After the last 2 BF’s flopped commercially that would be absolutely idiotic.
That’s a garanteed flop unless all old BF fans suddenly return.

EDIT: also is charging €79,99 now gonna be the standard in Europe despite the euro being stronger than the USD by a lot?
Nintendo is also charging €89,99 for Mario Kart World in Europe.

Playing Donkey Kong Bananza on the Switch 2 at the moment. I’m at layer 1.100.
Also bought No More Heroes 1 and 2 last week on sale which I’ll be playing after.
Besides that some more Fortnite on PS5

As long as he’s bald and south/south east asian I don’t care how handsome he is.
Never thought of dhalsim as a character that needs to be ugly or below average anyway.

@rjejr last I checked @get2sammyb has no obligation to follow the masses their opinions on games. It’s not some journalistic code to only praise what’s commonly praised.

IIRC this one in particular was panned because it was so overpriced and content bare compared to other Picross games.

EDIT: Should’ve fully read the article. Seems like the PlayStation port fixes these issues.

“Improved stability” - PsVita & Ps3

The remake was part of the old Nvidia leak. Like 99% of that leak has since been announced or released. The big outlier is still FF9R.
