@JaxonH Rayman Legends. Child of Light. Two really fantastic and exclusive tactical RPGs. The South Park games.
Their support hasn't been perfect, but it does feel like they've been giving us the majority of their very best games.
But yeah, bit of a waste to not have at least the older Far Cry games. I'd happily snag FC3 and Blood Dragon, if nothing else.
And yeah, it's a bit absurd that Origins is on the Vita, but not on Switch.
Speaking of, I'd love to play Legends on an OLED model one day. The Vita version really showed off how good the game could look on that sort of screen.
@Grumblevolcano I mean, it sold 4.5 million copies. Might be peanuts compared to what their AAA games pull in, but it still outsold Origins really quickly. And still sold really well on Wii U for a third-party game.
@Tasuki You're probably right. I forgot he left. That sucks. Probably also explains why we'll never see BG&E2 again. Although, based on that teaser trailer, that might not be a terrible thing.
@Grumblevolcano I think that's much less the case in many respects than it was in the seventh gen, where it felt like everything was either a AAA blockbuster or a zero-budget indie someone programmed in their mother's basement. Many smaller and niche genres are selling very well these days, and are showing that it can be profitable to invest in smaller-scale projects.
Currently Playing: Resident Evil Village: Gold Edition
@Ralizah It's less in some ways and more in others. Nowadays a lot of studios seem to mostly be focused on a mixture of the normal approach to AAA and attempting to chase Fortnite riches but there are some big studios like Capcom that are avoiding that approach.
On a different note, Switch Sports is at #1 on the UK eshop charts with 3 days to go until launch.
Everything's seeming weird recently. Nintendo's made loads of updates that could've been part of a general Direct or Direct Mini meanwhile has had no indie event, Xbox is pretty much silent outside of the content light Halo Infinite Season 2 and PS has been silent outside of the PS+ revamp coming in June.
@Yoshi2 Yes, I'm pretty sure that's the whole appeal of them (Unless NoE is really different than NoA in how they ran it)
@Grumblevolcano Yeah, it's been radio silent... I mean usually this is when E3 news starts popping up, so I guess that's probably why. Nintendo's summer direct (if it happens, and I think it will) won't be announced ahead of time without E3, Microsoft is probably still internally scrambling to reconfigure their release plans now that A-B merger is going ahead to avoid as much self-competition as possible, and Sony... well, they don't really release much at all anyways anymore? We got a single collection released for the... third time? (Uncharted) and Horizon, plus MLB (which I personally don't care about) and that's all they have for this year's schedule afaik? God of War is 2022, maybe, assuming no delays but...
Most people tend to forget that the Wii technically "won" the generation against the Xbox 360 and PS3. The Wii was the only one of the three to sell 100m+ consoles with the PS3 selling second-best. Then we have the 360, which sold around 86m, but had a RRoD failure rate of almost 60%. So from one perspective the 360 sold well. But how many of those sales were from return customers whose 360s were past their warranty?
@link3710 Even with the multiplatform stuff I honestly can't think of anything coming in May and June outside of Sonic Origins and the Capcom Fighting Collection.
Edit: I looked it up and there's Evil Dead: The Game and Sniper Elite 5 in May, but that's about it until Saints Row and Soul Hackers 2 in late August. That's.... really bad honestly. I would hope things will pick up after that.
@IceClimbers Yeah, Sony seems content to not really try and communicate this gen and assume it won't affect them. But with the lead they had over Xbox last gen, who knows?
Well, their lead could turn into XBox going ahead, @link3710 .... But then there's not that much coming to either console really, so that's probably a factor The games won't really be aimed at the current gen consoles while those are still hard to obtain, though! I dunno why they wanted to release them when they did but there we go
@Ralizah I was talking more about the competition, and really more about 3rd party releases than Sony or Microsoft's titles.
June and July are gonna be stacked for Switch!
@link3710 Even in Microsoft's case I think they could be communicating more. I think they need a really strong showcase showing that their acquisitions from the past few years are actually bearing fruit. When are we getting Avowed or Hellblade II? How far off is Perfect Dark?
I miss the vouchers. NA consistently gets shafted. Shafted on vouchers, shafted on physical releases, shafted on collector editions. It's just all around good, quality shafting across the board 😉
Finally got some good gear in Splatoon 2. Sucks starting from scratch, but it only took about 10-15 hrs to get a solid set of 4 slot gear with skills I wanted.
I'm so into it I used a vacation day today to play Splatoon 2. That's crazy for a 5 year old game I already played.
BTW, check out this Switch to PS4 comparison of Zombie Army 4. Possibly the smallest gap between versions for a AAA game to date? Played some an hour ago. Gyro is flawless, HD rumble is flawless, graphics and performance is top notch. And it's fun as heck. I love it.
Psalms 22:16 (1,000 yrs before Christ)
They pierced My hands and feet
Isaiah 53:5 (700 yrs before Christ)
He was pierced for our transgressions
Always happy to share in the shafting of our US brethren, but don't you guys routinely get tech things cheaper than Europe in the first place, so while we might get what appears to be better discounts at times, really those discounts are just evening things up a bit, no?
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
