@skywake Probably depends where in the US too. I got into limits and infinite sums in second semester Junior year, so I was also 16 at the time. Curriculums are kind of a mess here thanks to each state's crazy standardized testing.

A new trailer for No Man's Sky Switch edition has been released:

@Grumblevolcano The hype for NMS on Switch is real. Other than Elite Dangerous, there isn't a better space game in the industry, imo.

No Man's Sky is THE gold standard for redemption stories. I bought the game after just one update and it is nigh-on unrecognisable after 18 more content updates. After around four or five there would have been a case for them stopping but it has been SIX YEARS since they released the game and every single update has been free. That's not something you'd get with a AAA studio let alone a 20-person indie studio.

Regarding that No Mans Sky trailer, that lush red grassy hill looks so cherry picked for the Switch, since the Switch doesn't have a large distance to render. I'd wait for game release & reviews before anyone gets excited.

@WoomyNNYes Oh no, my friend. I'm going YOLO for NMS on Switch.

@Magician I expect a performance report from you when you get it. (if an NL review doesn't beat you to it) You're welcome to a "told ya so, @WoomyNNYes!", when the time comes. 😁

That dive is amazing!🤣

I'm expecting pop-in and some dynamic resolution shifting, but so long as it on-the-whole has been ported well, as I suspect it will have been, I'll look forward to going exploring with it.

You guys had me at blood and semen.

@WoomyNNYes They can't have been too concerned about it. Heck, a YouTube comment pointed out that some objects spawned incorrectly yet were still in shot, because that's what happens in the game. I don't think they'll be hiding much. I imagine frame rate and dynamic res gets heavy in intense things or loading but beyond that... Probably quite a nice stable 720p ish game.

Anyone UK-based ordered from Play-Asia recently?

I put an order through this afternoon, only to be confronted on the final page with the risk of customs fees. Can't remember that being a consideration before, though from my email records I'm not sure I've ever had an order fulfilled from them before, must have cancelled one after finding a more local source.

Anyway... order consisted of 3 games, one in stock, one with a 2-4 week wait, and the other a pre-order for release in December. Total amount about £160, but hoping they are going to be sent separately as and when available, thus minimising the risk of a single bulk package getting hit with customs fees. Am I dreaming?

@gcunit P-A only ships when all items are in their warehouse. That has been my experience anyhow.

@Magician Thanks. I might trim the order then, take off the pre-order.

@Rambler Thanks, but for now I've parked the whole idea.

When I had three items in the basket, totalling £160, that was the price I paid at checkout.

But when I took the pre-order item out, the total dropped to about £125, but suddenly there was £25 tax added on, taking it back up to £150. Why no tax on the previous order but tax now?

Not a fan of obscure financial situations, so unless someone can help me understand how it works I'm just gonna revert to waiting for a chance listing on eBay someday.

So, Trails from Zero also releases in September.

How we feeling on this one?

Trails of Cold Steel 3 and 4 were freaking incredible. Unfortunately, Trails 1 and 2 came to Switch but never got localized. 3 had a story summary and that's where I jumped in. But many didn't want to do that.

This is part of the Crossbell arc though, which is only a 2 game series from PSP that was never localized. Now its being remastered and released in the west. The 2nd part, Trails to Azure, will follow.

Personally I really like the more chibi art style in HD. It suits the game well.

@JaxonH I'm on board. I really like the looks of it, but I will probably wait to get it since Pokemon is coming out soon and I need to save money.

I decided very quickly that if I were to ever get into the Trails series, I'd want to make sure I'd be able to play the whole series. Even ignoring AFAIK recent game/s not being localized yet, I'm not entirely sure that's possible on any one platform right now.

@kkslider5552000 They're all playable on PC up through Cold Steel 4. The ones after that are a lock for PC as well.

They're cranking those things out like crazy. 3rd one in a year it feels like

Yeah, I was curious about the Japanese release dates. 2004 - 2009 saw them release only the three Trails in the Sky games, but, since then, they've released roughly one game every year in this series. They must have a really optimized work flow, considering these games are lengthy and full of dialogue.

2010 - Ys vs. Trails in the Sky; Trails from Zero
2011 - Trails to Azure
2012 - The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails
2013 - Trails of Cold Steel
2014 - Trails of Cold Steel II
2015
2016 - Akatsuki no Kiseki
2017 - Trails of Cold Steel III
2018 - Trails of Cold Steel IV
2019
2020 - Trails into Reverie
2021 - Kuro no Kiseki
2022 - Kuro no Kiseki II – Crimson Sin

It's going to take NISA a while to catch up.
