Playstation is the main platform for Destiny so this was absolutely done to gently caress with MS.

Oh, the new Pokken 3v3 battle feature is actually neat. You choose 3 different fighters at the start and battle by elimination in traditional Pokemon style. It sounded like some weird slow co-op thing before, but this is way cooler. Like a Pokken-KoF thing.

The huge GPU boost isn't going to really allow them to double the framerate. Even the better CPU in the X is still pretty weak, as it was in the Pro and the base versions of the two consoles. It's just not the gen for good CPUs, sadly.

It's a CPU that was originally designed for laptops and was outdated way back in 2013. It's largely considered abysmal compared to the AMD bulldozer architecture of the day which in itself was considered abysmal as well all around. A clock boost for pro/x isn't going to cut the mustard at all. I think a lot of people just don't get how hilariously crap the console CPUs are. It's amazing what the developers have squeezed out of it.
On the plus side, it does mean that there's still enormous headroom for monster PS5/Xbox Two consoles that would easily trounce the existing consoles. All they need is a Ryzen-based chip which AMD has said they are capable of mass producing for console hardware.

Yeah I feel MS would have better served just bumping the GPU up to the Pro (or a bit higher if they wanted to use it as a selling point) and bringing the CPU up significantly.

Hot take on Samus Returns that has been pissing off the Internet whenever I whisper it:
AM2R is the better Metroid 2 remake and Samus Returns looks like a Playstation 1 game. Also melee countering and 360 degree aiming means most combat consists of standing still and being a turret instead of running and gunning.

If the system is winding down why did the announce Metroid 2 for it and not the Switch :argh:

They must've started working on Metroid and Mario well before the Switch launch. I kinda assume that they were in case the Switch flopped, they would still be supporting the 3DS.

I really doubt there's gonna be any big 3DS announcements next year

Were Metroid games really about running and gunning, though? My memories of Super Metroid mostly consist of finding a safe place to plant my feet and then filling the monsters with daylight until they attacked.

If I was running and killing enemies simultaneously then I either had the Plasma Beam or was running right through the fuckers.

Nintendo nowadays won't even think about making a game not named Kirby unless it does something different, hence why we're never getting another F-Zero. The things they added in the new Metroid look good and I don't mind the forgotten stepchild of the franchise getting a severe facelift, especially when we already had 3 fantastic games in Super/Fusion/Zero Mission and endless copycats.

I actually like the ability to aim anywhere and have a quick melee attack, both things that seem like modern ways to update the franchise from things like "8-way aiming only"

:ssh: Most devs aren't as good as experienced Top-level fighting game players. And there are other players out there better than Allister (though he's placed in several tournaments himself, he's solid).

Allister actually could've done a bit better but he panicked a bit near the end.
