What Video Games Are You Currently Playing

yeah it was your posts here that brought it to my attention a while back. it's getting called a walking sim, which seems to be a death sentence for a lot of people, but i enjoyed dear esther and conarium so i imagine I'll dig it. I can look past some gameplay flaws - growing up being told i would be eternally damned gave me a healthy fascination with visions of hell :sup:

I get told that now, now that I'm godless so there's definitely a common pull. I'm surprised that no one's done a serious adaptation of Dante's Inferno, actually.

I'd like to know when Scorn might get released. And Routine, for that matter. (Really hope Routine isn't dead. Lunar haven't posted any updates since March last year)

I've still not played Fallout 4 - Fallout 75 yet ...

E3 closing in fast. New Death Stranding business to be shown, hopefully Kojima remembers to bring a release date for it.

they look like a band

 

And Death Stranding would be a good name for it

[Joyrex]

Motherfucking Pokemon mainline games for Switch!

 

Megaman 11 looking good - Shows how terrible Mighty No. 9 really was:

Mikkelsen: Lead Guitar + Vox

Kojima: Bass

Reedus: Drums

Looks like they're trying to channel 90s-era Prodigy

The best part of their 'band pic' is Kojima taking a drag on his non-existent cigarette

Yeah well, at least better than that earlier teaser... Really not into the art style but in terms of new game mechanics it looks intriguing alright!

[jasondonervan]

Kojima was also down the arcade playing some Ikaruga the other day, wish he was my friend.

Saw a write-up about a supposed leak regarding the new From Software project, the same from the Shadows Die Twice teaser (god I hope that's not the name of the game)...but the info was sourced on 4Chan so I'm not even going to link it because who knows. Sounds like an evolution from Bloodborne and sounds pretty interesting...if any of it's true. Maybe. Waiting for E3 and hopefully we'll see something.

I think the art style is growing on me... had they done another pixel-based 8-bit version like 9 and 10, I think it would be a bit too repetitive and not attempted to bring the series forward. That boss battle with the fast-moving guy (plus the new gameplay mechanics like you mentioned) looks really interesting!

I have a gut feeling it will end up being Bloodborne 2, which is not a bad thing at all...

Word.

Was is it then? I hope whatever it may be is better than 4.

True, probably better than to do the 8-bit retromania thing to death... They still coulda done a high res sprite based continuation of 8 or something tho... I guess they semi tried with some cel shading but somehow it just doesn't look that good (also it's only on the characters and not the bgs, makes it look kinda inconsistent imo), i mean think of recent Guilty Gears or the new DBZ fighting game in comparison. Oh well, at the end of the day gameplay and level design is everything.

 

Consider me hyped!

[jaderpansen]

PS: dig how megaman takes on design features of robot masters instead of only changing color like he used to.

i think everyone has agreed at this point that 16bit and above sprites are way too expensive (which sucks) and opt for shitty 3d models. game does look fun tho

If (big if) the leak is correct, they state directly that it's not Bloodborne 2, and is a new IP entirely (though perhaps similar in tone or something to their game Kuon) The rundown makes it sound very good tbh, and is very detailed. And if the leak is correct I will likely be a very happy little boy.
