i hope Cuphead performance on switch is fine. Trailer looks a little freeze frame-y but I can't tell if that's intentional slow down for dramatic effect or just dodgy performance. will definitely be grabbing this one though :-) 

 

Crypt of the NecroDancer never quite stuck with me but the fans seem to love it. moving 'to the beat' always felt a bit stifling and constrained (which a pointless criticism when that's the entire point of the game, but that's why i didn't love it i guess!). 

 

Blaster Master Zero 2 is a weird one... i have to imagine the main reason Blaster Master Zero was a success was because it was one of the few indie budget titles available on the switch at launch... and less because there's massive demand for more Blaster Master (???). 

[bitchroast]

The Stadia thing is imo one more scary incursion from Google, I hate seeing them in every part of my life.

 

I'm not interested in streaming games really but I already see how young kids will grow with that shit and just play the latest Call Of Fifa game ever and ever and ever, their game libraries being narrowed down by the same company who will already handle their music, videos, phone calls, etc.

 

Shit I'm not even 30 and already ranting about how crappy the future looks like because I'm afraid of that change ha !

 

pretty much agreeing with you here. 

putting post in spoiler cos it's mostly a long ramble. 

 

 

 

This current console generation has really irked me a bit. 

When PS4 came out, it seemed like Sony had made the move from the more specialised Cell multi-core microprocessor microarchitecture, that made developing for PS3 an apparent chore. It seemed to futureproof the console in a way that would make future consoles backwards compatible and everything would be a bit more open and easier to develop for. 

 

But now we're in a state where, games like Anthem and RDR2 are coming out and are hitting 20-30FPS performances on base PS4 and base XBOX One, in a way that seems very apparent that the games are being developed and fine tuned with the more current iterations (PS4 Pro and XBOX ONE X) in mind, and being backwards optimised to get it running on the previous generations. 

 

The implication that PS4 Pro is a continuation of the PS4, when performance of the same games is poor on Base PS4, and buying a PS4 Pro doesn't have any buying upgrade path other than outright buying a new console at full price retail. And all it means is that Sony and Microsoft get to talk about their consoles in a way that sounds like the PS4 for example had a very long lifespan because it's taking the PS4 Pro into consideration. Asif it's not a new generation of console. (ie. they get to gloat this long market lifespan to shareholders when in reality it's just screwing over customers... is my feeling). 

 

It's really shitty. It's similar to the Danny O'dwyer tweets that Osc posted. 

It seems like, 4k gaming, better resolution graphics, better processing to handle more polygons, is all at the cost of games taking longer to make + being more expensive to make + being a higher risk on publishers, and its resulting in less games coming out and more boring games coming out because following precedents and copying existing games is a safer investment for publishers and shareholders... 

 

This has been the trend games and gaming consoles has been going in for a while now.. PS4 Pro and XBOX One / One S / One X, all seems like it's something the console makers are thinking about and trying to alleviate.. 

 

and the idea that the solution is something that only google can tackle with their massive tech infrastructure ... 

it's kind of scary shit for the industry... obviously caring about the industry is a nerd thing to do and it's lame and boring, but its also the kind of thing that probably means even less games + more boring games + more games as a service, etc. are going to be coming out going forward.

 

 

 

 

I duno...

weird times.

Excited for some Vlambeer games coming to Switch. I hope they port Luftrausers.

Do you own a switch, bitchy? What do you think of what Nintendo is doing?

[ambermonk]

So the Epic Games Store snatched up Metro Exodus, then recently Phoenix Point (which was crowdfunded for the past year up to this point), and now The Outer Worlds. There's already been common complaints about security issues regarding the Epic launcher. And those were some of the games I was most looking forward to.

Obviously 2019 is shaping up to be the year of Steam (Valve) vs Epic. I'm not gonna go into any further of a rant on the issue, but I still find the migration of these latest titles to an inferior and shady platform for the sake of a bigger revenue cut disheartening.

 

[bitchroast]

Do you own a switch, bitchy? What do you think of what Nintendo is doing?

 

love the switch. i think what they're doing is great.

 

compare it to vita, where they they were similarly targeting console type experience on a handheld (Sony published vita versions of Uncharted and Killzone, Vita being able to stream games from PS4 and play on handheld) but not even having 1:1 button of a standard PS4 controller (only 1 set of L R shoulder buttons, joysticks didn't click in as L3 and R3). Vita just seemed confused out of the gate, and failing to reach an massive audience never really came as a surprise... which then meant no audience = no one bothered to publish or make games for it. 

 

switch out of the gate had a solid launch line up and built an steady player base nice and early (giving publishers reason to want to release games on the system and sell lots of copies). nintendo have also done a lot of great work making the system easy to develop for, and reaching out to a lot of indie developers to get their games on the switch system. i remember reading twitter posts and the like of game developers pretty much confirming that they had been approached by nintendo, instead of the other way around. 

 

i also think, the switch being what it is, is perfectly in tune with a lot of gaming audience today, who enjoy playing games while having "content" or something playing on a tv/computer screen in the background. 

 

my positive experience with switch may have something to do with also owning a PS4 and a PC. i loved the PS4 at first, but after awhile the asking price of PS+ just felt really shitty + it was also getting to the point of all the games i was interested in were also being released on PC. i tried Horizon Zero Dawn, for example, and thought it was garbage. I tried God of war for example, and i thought it was garbage. Bloodborne was the only exclusive PS4 game i actually cared about and loved. Naughty Dog are good too i guess! But i reckon owning a PC and PS4 has too much overlap and the asking price of needing to pay $80 a year to play PS4 games online, when i can play the same games on PC... online for free.. + better performance.... ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

 

Like, i understand building and maintaining a PC is a massive chore and not an easy task for a lot of people (myself included) ... but i dunno. I'm very much at a point where a game having amazing graphics doesn't cut it if the game itself is going to be boring. and the Switch pretty much lines up with my needs perfectly.

Have you played it? I have (all the way through; didn't do a lot of the sidequests). It's a great game, and (I feel) very deserving of the praise it gets.

I haven't played it no. I also haven't watched Bohemian Rhapsody, but I know that I would hate it. But that also won a load of awards, so I guess I must be wrong?

 

I just think that using the logic of awards = greatness is a bit flawed.

 

edit: btw I love Queen and their music, so that's not why I'd hate it.

Well, you're missing out - BR is a great movie, and a wonderful tribute to Mercury/Queen.

 

I guess the way he states "it's garbage" like it was fact makes (triggers) me to point out that person is in the minority about something being subjectively good or bad.

sounds like a good time! report back on the first few hours if you want, always love hearing about from software games on here. Launch time is always special thanks to secrets, methinks Sekiro even moreso, because there's NPCs that you can protect during bossfights that will probably be extremely difficult to pull off at times.

[ghOsty]

Diving into Sekiro at midnight tonight, got nothing to do tomorrow! HYPE!

[bitchroast]

apologies for upsetting with strong language "i thought god of war was garbage". 

i have my reasons (i found the combat and movement slow and unengaging. i found the environments to be VERY NICE LOOKING, largely straight forward corridors, not exactly fun to explore. i found the story and presentation to be pretty good. but the off-moment character interactions between distant father&son to be almost carbon copied from off-moment character interactions between distant father & 'daughter' from TLOU. it kind of all just resulted in this package that was nice to look at, had a vaguely interesting story stretched out across ~20-30 hours ((zzz...)), and gameplay that i ultimately found incredibly painstakingly boring and made me want to smash my head against a wall bored. the complete package didn't come together in any meaningful way for me.)

 

i'm sorry!!! okay ;-; 

 

((((((((((((((( would've been better as a netflix series without the boring gameplay lol )))))))))))))))

I don't think it's garbage but it definitely dragged on and the combat got so boring that I ended up lowering the difficulty to "Easy" just so I could blast through it. Visually it was stunning though and the acting was wonderful as well.
