@Dezzy Was mo-cap really that unusual before recently? I know most N64 games with humans used mo-cap after all (Both Legend of Zeldas, Goldeneye, Turok, Tony Hawk, basically every sports title on the system etc).
Only a tiny number of the animations in Zelda were mocapped. Just the ones they had trouble with hand-animating:
There were definitely some games that used it, but it definitely wasn't as ubiquitous as it is now. Especially with faces. Games as late as FF13 were still hand-animating facial expressions.
If you look at the actual character models they use in games, you can see when this started to change because they suddenly increased the number of bones in the faces by like a factor of 8 or something insane like that. That definitely happened some point between the middle of the 7th gen and now.
Reason I assumed it was a cutscene was because there's no HUD or UI on screen, but having just checked a gameplay video I can see there is no onscreen info during gameplay.
But in response to Octane's comment about it not making a difference, graphics in cutscenes don't matter to me very much at all. It's all about what I see when I'm interacting with the Gameworld for me.
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

Yea, totally. But they did say "in engine." Just trying to provide any info I have. A lot of companies use that "in engine" phrase pretty broadly, though. Could definitely still be a cutscene because "in engine" literally just means in the game lol
As far as I know, in-engine basically means "not an FMV".
Anyways, the new Nintendo Newsletter announced the "Return to the Last Resort Hotel" DLC for Luigi's Mansion 3. New costumes, floors for scarescraper, minigames and "themed ghosts" whatever that means.

While I'm very sure that Smash DLC 5 will release in January, I wonder how a Christmas Day shadow drop would compare to the Pokemon Bank chaos back in 2013 regarding the eshop servers.
No way they survive. If just one character can bring chaos to the servers, dropping one on Christmas Day when so many new connections are going to be made is just asking for a breakdown.

Capcom was overdue for crushing my hopes and dreams. I was excited when their Japanese YouTube channel was updated yesterday. Only to see that they're releasing what looks like a prison-bound boyfriend pen-pal simulator. One of those niche releases I wouldn't mind if it stayed exclusive to Japan.
Not surprising, but funny considering the amount of people on the Switch subreddit saying it was a Square Enix announcement rather than a Nintendo one.
Most big name exclusives on a Nintendo platform probably involve Nintendo to some extent. Otherwise, why not release on multiple platforms and widen the potential audience?
@Magician I try not to turn my nose up at new games. However there was so much other stuff that I would like to see Capcom release that I'm overall very annoyed. Ah well. Next year is a new year.
Not sure if anyone cares besides me, but a new TT isle of man comes out next year.

Picked up a PowerA pro controller (it's an officially licensed brand) since my Joy-con were starting to drift.
It feels a little cheaper than any first party controller I've used in recent memory, with no HD Rumble, and it still runs on AA batteries, but overall it feels good enough and has made playing Luigi's Mansion 3 easier.

Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)
Well, it's probably from a cutscene, but they are pretty much always rendered real time nowadays, so it doesn't make a difference.
For what it's worth, the X Series Hellblade stuff was labeled as "in engine." So, yea... take that as you may lol
Yeah, that's what I was saying. It's not pre-rendered like we may have seen 10 years ago. Almost all games have their cut-scenes running in real time, or in engine if you will.
Talos Principle is awesome. Best puzzle game I've played since Portal 2. Reminds me of that game, in a way Quantum Conundrum reminded me of it.

This is an excellent trailer for Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore. Best I’ve seen yet. It pretty much sizes up the game for anyone wondering what it’s about. If this doesn’t get you interested then it’s probably just not a game for you.
