@Anti-Matter You're best off sticking to indie and "wholesome games" presentations, I think.

Why is no one paying attention to the Devolver event? This looks amazing!

@Ralizah wow that does look amazing! Its like every nintendo franchise cooked in a crockpot together. Definitly will keep an eye on it. And usually devolver attaches itself to quality titles, so this should be a good one.

@Ralizah So that was James Turner's new game! Honestly, I absolutely love it. Great concept, fantastic artwork both in 2D and 3D and it looks like there's a ton of variety. As someone who missed out on A Link Between Worlds, this looks like the vindication I've been craving for for the better part of a decade!

Me everyone year. Devolver is legitimately the only non-Nintendo E3-centric event that's still reliably fun.

Also that game looks really good. It seems like the logical conclusion of a game after the past several "2d character in a 3d world" games I've seen in the past year or so. I hope playing it lives up to how it looks, because if so, I'm beyond excited.

Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes looks pretty good on the TV. Not as many jagged edges as Three Houses it seems. The colors really pop, too (of course the OLED helps with that, but still). It's not gonna win any awards for graphical achievement, but still. I'm satisfied with the visuals.

First I'd heard of it.

But wow, you weren't kidding. That really does look amazing! I hear ppl say that all the time, and 9 times out of 10 I check the trailer and am like... eh. But I wasn't prepared for this trailer. Unbelievably impressive concept and art style. I hope it plays as well as it looks.

I found the trailer from PushSquare. 🙂
Looked good after I saw Jot could get into 3D world and 2D world like Mario Odyssey.

@JaxonH Geez, that looks insanely sharp for a K-T game. Those usually suffer from lots of aliasing. I'm guessing that's the mClassic at work?

How do P5 Strikers and Three Houses look on your OLED set-up?

@Ralizah
P5S is the worst of the three. That game is jaggie city. That said, it does look much better docked than handheld, thanks to mClassic.

Three Houses is in between P5S and Three Hopes. It has some jaggies, but the mClassic does make them less noticeable. I remember a bunch of ppl complaining about it and thinking huh? It doesn't look that bad to me? But then when I'd undock it I'd be like oh, ok. Ya I see it's kinda rough now.

But Three Hopes is just crisp and clean for a Switch game (especially a KT Switch game). I think they also just did a better job with this game than Three Houses. Perhaps all the years of experience doing other Warriors titles and the experience shared from Three Houses itself.

No, it's not 60fps. But it does look higher than 720p.

@JaxonH It's interesting seeing Nintendo work this closely and consistently with a third-party developer. Between the four (!) Switch Warriors crossover games and the degree to which they helped with the development of Three Houses, you'd be mistaken for thinking they were an in-house studio.

It's also interesting how good the Nintendo crossovers seem to be compared to the very mixed results from their own mainline Warriors titles. I wonder if that's due to oversight from Nintendo...

Also, aside from Nioh and Dead or Alive, almost all of their major properties seem to be all in on Switch now.

@Ralizah
Ya they've really gone all in on Switch, which is much appreciated.

Koei Tecmo Warriors games don't usually interest me. They're too samey, gameplay feels too clunky, and the characters and story just aren't interesting. They have Dynasty Warriors for China history, Samurai Warriors for Japan history, and Warriors Orachi which I know little about. But none of them grab me.

Yet you take a look at the first Hyrule Warriors and it was super fun by comparison. Still wasn't enough to keep me playing but it was definitely an improvement. Then FE Warriors released, and had the best Warriors gameplay to date. The story sucked, the character classes weren't balanced so the weapon triangle felt out of wack, and the maps felt bland, but mechanically speaking Warriors had never played better. I got farther in that one than any other Warriors to date. Then Age of Calamity and Persona 5 Strikers released and showed us how much better Warriors games can be when they adopt one specific game and build around it.

I feel like Three Hopes is the pinnacle of the series, of the dozens and dozens of various Warriors releases over the last couple decades. It's gotta be Nintendo's involvement and holding the game to a higher standard. But also the fact they're using a beloved franchise and game to tie in with, that already has great characters and intriguing story.

If this was just a Dynasty Warriors reskin with Three Houses characters, I don't think that would cut it. What makes the game so good is the complete integration of Three Houses mechanics and story into Three Hopes. It feels closer to Three Houses than it does a Warriors game, by far. In fact, if not for the combat this could actually be Three Houses, just with a different storyline.

What also impresses me is the fact the game has 3 distinct and unique branching paths, complete with totally different maps, objectives and storyline. They didn't have to do that. But they did. They went above and beyond for this game, and it shows.

I'm curious to learn what the next Fire Emblem will be like. I feel like it's almost a certainty we'll be playing the next core entry in 2023. Will it be another collaboration with KT? Or will it be ground up in a new engine built by IS? As good as their collaborative efforts have been, I kinda want to see where they go on their own next time. Let KT do what they do best and give us another Warriors tie in for it.
