I believe you can already play it on the Series systems without waiting for it to be relisted.

Oh, I don't have one - I thought the One was such a complete waste of money that I'm not continuing with them unless there's some unexpectedly incredible pile of exclusives.

Yeah, same. I love the backwards compatibility even though most of those games I play on other things and PC so it makes it mostly redundant for me.

I just would really like some Metal Gear games on Switch.

Looking forward to seeing what’s coming.

Also been playing V recently, and despite how scary it is, it’s kind of funny knowing that Sahelanthropus is actually worthless junk.

I'm still tickled by the name Sahelanthropus. Kojima decided that was the perfect name for this Metal Gear, but the problem is that it wasn't actually discovered until the 2000s. But the game HAS to be set in 1984. You can't end the Metal Gear series without setting one of the games in 1984! Besides which, Sahelanthropus was discovered well after Solid Snake roasted Big Boss to death, you can't set a game about Big Boss after that. But how do you still get to call the mech Sahelathropus? Of course, you just come up with some lore about how Cipher dug up the hominid remains and called it Sahelanthropus themselves, and then buried it again without telling anyone. Perfect!

Yep, that's literally all I know about it since I just looked it up. I'll wait to reserve judgment, but that is not a descriptor that fills me with hope.

Im going to assume that "cloud game" means Death Stranding 2 will let you randomly encounter other players and let you tell them to Keep on Keepin On and mash the Like button as quickly as possible to give them a million Likes but face-to-face this time

What is "cloud" supposed to signify anyway? I would think any online game that isn't entirely peer-to-peer would be Cloud.

I hope the cloud stuff is like in Flight simulator where you can stream the literal entire world to walk across in Death Stranding 2 or something.

Okay, so here's something random that just popped into my head while I was half-awake.

In MGS2 Substance, there are some fun VR puzzle missions where you have to take pictures of various things. One of them asks you to take a picture of "Raiden's killer", with the joke being that you take a picture of an MGS2 poster that's on the wall, rather than any of the "suspects"... but you can also complete the level by taking a picture of Fatman, who is skating around.

Why Fatman, of all people? Is there another joke I'm missing here or is it just an alternative way to beat the level in case you didn't get the meta bit? The other such mission makes sense because all of the bodies (including Raiden, lol) are holding their crotches, so naturally you take a picture of the president, but, like Fatman?

I had to check that this was something that actually happened. The only other reference I found to it was the exact same question being asked on Gamefaqs many moons ago, and they didn't get an answer.

I don't have an answer to that, but there's another thing I've always wondered from MGS2 is how the bomb disposal guy managed to die in an explosion in one strut then later have his corpse appear intact in the underwater segment. I think Raiden has a radio line like "he was waiting for me" and they brush it off and it's never brought up again. What the gently caress?

I keep MGSV and Survive installed to play once in a blue moon and man, it's just a drat shame we never got more MGSV games.

Imperial Japan fielded the Mitsubishi J2M Raiden as a land-based aircraft whose primary role was defense against high-altitude bombers. Problems with the design kept it from being effective at reaching B-52s and production ultimately ended with the war. An end ushered in with two atomic weapons, one of which was named "Fat Man."

Not yet but with web3 we'll be able to mint our guesses into nfts on the blockchain. You can then allow others to speculate on the best guesses by selling them and collecting royalties on consecutive sales, or by allowing others to buy shares of your guess increasing its value. As we get closer to the next announcement the best guesses will increase in value as collectors and fans don't want to miss out on owning this tangible asset tied to this moment in history.

The minting and gas fees will ensure only the best guesses are in the ecosystem so you can be sure that any guess is a sound investment.

I've been investing in several myself that have been quickly increasing in value (over 2000% since minting), but I'm willing to part with them at a hefty goon discount as I need some quick liquidity to pay for my grad school. If you're interested please click the suspicious link in my profile.

Web 3 is truly a game changer. Don't miss out!
