Nostalgia4Dogges posted:I feel like even 20 years from now people will still play and be nostalgic for NES/SNES games. Those games were stupid hard and unfun, it's just the only options we had at the time. One thing it did prove was the Vita theory was right on the money; The Switch is going to be the new go-to platform for low/mid-range budget JRPG titles (they already announced a Berseria port and a couple other JRPG's). And I am perfectly okay with this  .

Morby posted:I have a WiiU and I have barely played it in months. I am excited for the Switch, but I am already concerned because it seems like there will barely be any titles on it for a while. Mario NYC looks fun, though! It's typical of any console in its first year, and we have solid release dates on some good games coming in the first three months (Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Splatoon 2). Nevermind the fact that the big king-hitter launch title is a colossal open-world game that's going to keep "mainstream" players happy for loving ages and they could've coasted on that alone for a fair while. Most consoles just poo poo the bed for the first six months waiting for studios to get their rushed first round of titles out the door, so Nintendo potentially have a better first-year lineup in place than most.

I said come in! posted:Well, there's Zelda, Splatoon 2, and Mario Odyssey. Breath of the Wild looks really amazing. ARMS actually looks decent too, especially with online play. Breath of the Wild is a great launch title to coast on considering its apparent size, nevermind Splatoon 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in console's first six months and a new goddamn proper 3D Mario game for the first time since the first Super Mario Galaxy as a Holiday release . That's on top of whatever crops up at e3 this year for the latter-half of 2017, so that's actually a pretty drat solid lineup for a console's first year.

Oxxidation posted:Eurogamer also stated that the demo version of GR2 was a lot rougher compared to the final product performance-wise, so that's nice. They also fixed the gravity kick targeting from the demo and first game, it's a lot better about actually tracking your target and landing the blow instead of just missing by a narrow margin. Throwing poo poo is a whole lot more viable too, especially the new Special Attack that lets you charge up a shot and send it ricocheting off multiple Nevi cores (regardless of whether they're all in the one Nevi or scattered among multiple smaller ones).

If you ordered the physical copy of REZ Infinite before December 8, check your email. iam8bit sent out a special offer for a free fancier cover insert made from thicker paper stock, that comes with a fancy holographic foil imprint. If you ordered after December 8, apparently you already get the fancier thicker paper stock cover as part of being in the second print run. I think you can maybe get the holographic foil on its own?

UnfortunateSexFart posted:There won't be a psvr 2 until they can figure out how to make games for the first one. To be fair, PSVR is for all intents and purposes a new console and stuck with the usual launch year dearth. Nevermind it being VR, which is still a fairly nascent field of game design that studios are only now starting to develop for. The real telling factor will be this year's e3.

UnfortunateSexFart posted:I meant like full games with varied gameplay that don't make you feel barfy. RE7 looks promising but horror games can't really be system sellers since so many people can't stand them. Again; this year's e3 will the telling factor. Like most new consoles, all you'll ever likely see is ports of pre-existing titles and rush-jobs the first year or so. It's only now after a good year of people messing with the dev kits and putting some work in (you know, like a regular game production cycle) that we'll actually see anything proper come out. Also I fully agree horror VR is a very niche thing, motion sickness aside, because OHSHITOHSHITIT'SCOMINGFORMEFUCKFUCKRUN!

Manatee Cannon posted:not having the random stupid thing at the end was a plus imo Leaving it out was for the best, because the real focus of the story wasn't the adventure this time. It was about family, and choosing what Nate actually values most. I did like that they didn't write Elena as a complete nagging wet blanket when she rocks up on the island to confront Nate, she's just pissed he lied to her rather than the fact he went on an adventure. Especially with it turning out she loves it as much as he does. edit: The thing you're talking about at the end is a nice way to prove Naughty Dog are serious about putting a cap on Uncharted as-promised, because there they both are years later with a teenage kid.

Like I know Ubisoft loves to reuse assets but I can't even see anything that hasn't already been in one of their other games. Steep has one because taking drones out to shoot extreme sports is one of their common uses  .Guillermus posted:How BAD is Killzone Shadowfall? Last one I played was Killzone on the PS2 and was decent for these days but should I just wait until they give it for PSNow or drops to 5$? loving dumb as poo poo. It's worth a look if you see it for $5, but prepare to have your intelligence insulted by the end.

Samurai Sanders posted:The online treasure hunt mode in Gravity Rush 2 really is incredible. One of the implications of how it works is that they made every building and every island distinctive enough from each other that you can locate the treasure. It's my favorite part of the game so far. You're clearly wrong, the best part is taking a silly photo for people to use to find the treasure chest themselves afterwards  . Also I've only just realized why the styles are called Lunar and Jupiter, respectively; Relative gravity  .A bit of free advice for Gravity Rush 2 as well; About halfway through the game when you see the story mission "The Crowd" become available, go clear out your available sidequests first if you plan to do them. You won't be coming back to Jirga Para Lhao for a while once you start it. veni veni veni posted:GR2 starts out really rough. I have no doubt I'll enjoy it because I really liked the first one but the first couple of hours are brutally boring. It seems to be picking up though. The first Chapter's little more than a tutorial, just burn through the story missions until you head off to the big city.

Samurai Sanders posted:I liked it consistently from the very beginning. I am struggling to think of an open world game I have enjoyed more. I thought the first game was pretty good given its limitations as a Vita launch game port but this one is bonkers. Some of the sneaking missions can get a bit bullshit with their detection radius and finding the path the developers want you to take, but by-and-large it's a fantastic improvement on a great game.

When you go up the street and through the arch to where the Ogre beating on the door, leave him be and circle round to where the people are partying indoors. Smash the crates to the left of their door and you can jump down. That'll lead you on to a shortcut back to the Lantern (the other side of that locked gate) and actual progression.

Yodzilla posted:I really enjoyed the first Gravity Rush but it's kind of crazy how abruptly it ends. Gravity Rush 2 answers every question it raises and puts a bow on the story as a whole. Samurai Sanders posted:Is there really that much to say about 1? Girl wakes up with no memories and super powers, has wacky adventures and saves the town from monsters. The game doesn't even make much progress on the memories or super powers mysteries, other than that there is some ancient god civilization because of course there is. You've forgotten the weirder poo poo in the story outside the monsters, and that poo poo does come up again in Gravity Rush 2 with an expectation that you've already played the first game. You need to play Gravity Rush first.

Renoistic posted:I Platinum'ed Gravity Rush on Vita a year ago, bought the Remaster and still had fun with it. It's a simple but good game with nice story and dialogue. I just love that you spend the first fifteen minutes of the game getting a place to live and then collecting furniture and a bed. It's like Kiki's Delivery Service with monster blobs. In Gravity Rush 2 you can customize the decorations in Kat's house. It affects nothing gameplay-wise, but damned if I can't decide whether Dusty should have a straw bed or a fancy proper cat bed to sleep in .

It also has a bunch of videos explaining each class. It also sounds like the same timing issues on counters and blocks that it's had since the beta builds they were showing at conventions months ago. Nevermind that the game's supposedly going to be loving P2P instead of dedicated servers. Nobody is going to have a good time with that recipe.

Evil Canadian posted:What timing issues on counters and blocks? I started playing the beta yesterday and a lot of the complaints I am reading are from people being lazy refusing to learn how this game works and then complaining that xyz is broken/busted because they can't win. Game is pretty dope but seemingly few people wanna do anything other than mash. The beta build I played was heinously broken, and this was a public demo at a big convention. Trying to parry or block exactly the way the game taught you in a training session would find you whiffing the parry or the block just plain not connecting so you ate sword/axe every time. Nevermind the Samurai's long reach just cleaving the gently caress out of everyone regardless. Requiring precise timing in goddamn Peer-to-peer multiplayer is a recipe for a bad time.

Evil Canadian posted:Well maybe that is an issue with that demo then as I have not experienced anything like that in this current build. I mostly do duels and p2p multiplayer is exactly what I want for that, pointless to do a 1v1 going through a server. I have done enough 4v4 modes that I don't mind p2p at all, I am not botching my timing on anything, I am not missing a block that I would have gotten otherwise. Its all perfectly fine. The only way Peer-to-Peer multiplayer can be good is if you can be absolutely certain every player is on a fibre connection. Maybe. Anything else is a crapshoot of broadband across long distance, over ancient copper wire never designed for it, that racks up the milliseconds in reprocessing and travel time between all involved.

Half the problem is the atrocious voice acting, the other is the stilted body and facial animation using zero motion capture. You can tell the head and mouth movements are done by some intern in a basement clicking and dragging body parts with a mouth cursor.
