Sounds like new costumes, player messages like Dark Souls, selectable boss fights, and a sort of "boss rush" mode where you will fight a series of bosses with breaks in between.

I got home from work and used chrome's translate tool and I thought the name of this mode was good:
"[Rematch / consecutive battles with rare strong men]"

That’s actually a little disappointing. I hope they add the broken archstone back in at least. There are a lot of improvements From made to the formula and it would be a shame to not incorporate at least some of them.

I don't think it'll be exactly the same, he elaborates and says the camera is changed and he said that he didn't want to spoil what 'fractured mode' was, which I was fairly certain was just a performance mode thing. Also there's that new weapon with the deluxe edition preorder, etc.. Shadow of the Colossus was similar in that it literally was the original game running at the same time as the remake, with the updated graphics over it, but there were a lot of new locations and little hidden things scattered throughout. I doubt they'll keep the rolling exactly the same, it would be really lovely if it didn't have omnidirectional rolling while locked on.


Woah I was browsing the store on PS4 and the Nier remake is up for preorder already so I grabbed it, it's loving beautiful:

The one thing I wanna know about Nier remake is if the combat and quests are the same bad ones or if they redid it a bit.

People are gonna be very surprised at the step backwards otherwise

the combat has been updated to feel quicker and more like Automata, but while still sort of retaining the originals feel, and Takahisa Taura, combat director of Automata and director of Astral Chain consulted on it.

I got Fallout 4 again. I would like to say that years ago, perhaps ITT, I made a post that said the graphics weren't much better than FO3. This was a very wrong post. FO4 looks a lot better. The animation on the robot butler you have is really really good. The water also looks very nice.
It's really weird having your character in a Bethesda game be voiced. I think he's the dude from Mad Men/Firewatch so it's very distracting.

The area in Far Harbour is the best looking area in the game. It’s pretty good! The performance totally tanks though. I can’t remember what the other DLC was. I ragequit at nuka world and never played it again. too much loading, wasn’t having fun anymore and I wasn’t interested in anything.

Given that you spend the vast majority of Replicant replaying the last few boss fights over and over again, I wish more of them were bullet based. I love those 3-D bullet hell battles.

big demon souls remastered spoiler the archstone is still broken when you first enter the nexus, you can see this in the gameplay video from the other month during the very first few seconds of the game, its been analyzed. no word yet if theres any way to fix it or possible dlc, but keep in mind that side quest bluepoint put into SoC for the new sword that tooks ages to find plus they have added new weapons in as you can see from the deluxe edition pre-order page.

edit: oh and fractured mode is apparently a mirror mode, lance already spoiled that but then deleted the tweet/message and im getting this info 3rd hand so who knows

uhh.. i think im actually confusing this https://www.polygon.com/2018/2/11/17001204/shadow-of-the-colossus-sword-of-dormin-how-to which is a sword you get for collecting 79 relics and this https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-05-02-the-quest-for-shadow-of-the-colossuss-last-big-secret which seems like your typical fan theory shenanigans for "secret sword that taken decades to find" which doesnt even make sense now i think about, considering the remake came out a few years ago.

i havent played the game but the internet keeps recommending me links like this so they get merged in my brain.

He *would* platinum Return of the Obra Dinn, The Witness, Inside and The Talos Principle. I know I've been going on about Outer Wilds too much, but based on that, I think Cerny might die if he played it, every technical and narrative aspect of the game is incredibly nerdy, plus it's a good game to show off the hardware, given that it was made by a small rear end indie team

That is enough to make me really hopeful! Automata definitely lost something when they moved out of the bullet hell hybrid but the combat in Gestalt was so clunky I didn't care. Actually everything in the game was clunky. It was definitely one of those "Look I know it looks like poo poo and the gameplay is poo poo and the quests suck but trust me just play it" games, which I'm glad the remake might fix

Sakurazuka posted:

Automata did quests really well because they fleshed out the world, gave you depressing insight into characters, and were generally good standalone stories on their own. Nier 1 had a lot of good moments for that but also a whole lot of "why did I even do this" moments. I do remember doing a quest for someone and then going to turn it in and someone's like "he died while you were gathering the materials" which is Peak Nier

I've been playing through it the past week and am about 2/3rds of the way through. I was surprised how much I felt it was slightly better than I remember, but then I remembered I'd only ever played the leaked alpha version which as far as I can tell doesn't really reappear much in the final product. You can sort of tell what it was trying to do, but what it is just doesn't feel very Doom.

Just letting the player use their flashlight and gun and the same time was a fine change with the BFG Edition, and the additional ammo is fine by me even if the inclusion of both take away from the "survival horror" aspect of the gameplay. However the decision to keep the very limited stamina bar is baffling and weirdly implemented for console controllers. I just want it to let me run and gun because it feels good the brief moment it allows you to do that before needing to rest mid-gunfight for what feels like forever.

Great plasma gun though, and I think it has some really cool takes on the enemy designs.

Oh do you not? I guess since I deliberately set out to do literally everything in the game I've lost track of what was required for the platinum.

You at least have to do the challenge, right?

Yeah you still have to do that final timed challenge which is the biggest barrier to platinum.

Well that or the bullshit audio puzzles.

i played through doom 3 earlier this year for the deep doom lore prep for eternal (3 is doom 0 btw) and concluded that doom 3 bfg/current console ports suck poo poo, too much ammo and hosed with the lighting and it doesnt run at 20fps anymore. just straight handholding for console players. :colbert:
