Re: Nightdive's The Thing: Remastered Is Getting A Physical Release

AlleyCat

I already bought the digital version a couple of months ago, an excellent remastered. But why do they continue to announce physical versions months after the digital release? Wouldn't it be more correct to say already at the release that there will be both versions and that the physical versioni will come later?

Re: Talking Point: Why An LCD Screen Isn't The End Of The World For Switch 2

I would like the choice between LCD and OLED models upon release, rather than an OLED model in 2 or 3 years. I would be willing to spend more for the OLED model now. But if I bought the LCD version when it came out, I think I would always stick with that, I won't buy the OLED version in the future. For me, Nintendo must offer the two models immediately, with two different prices for sure. Then the customer chooses what to buy.

Re: Sony Does What Nintendon't By Removing A Bunch Of 'eSlop' Titles

The problem with the eShop is that junk games have the same visibility as everyone else.
They are always on the front page, with 90% discounts and new packages that repeat every month (deluxe version, super extra and so on).
We need a review and rating system like on Steam that brings these games to the bottom of the release list.
If I want to buy the new "H3nt4i Waifu Simulator Deluxe", I have to look for it on purpose, I don't want it on the front page!

Re: Mini Review: Taito Milestones 3 (Switch) - Third Time's A Charm

Excellent collection, the games offered are almost all classics. But I have already bought 5 or 6 of these games in the ACA version, which also offers Caravan and hi score modes. I think this collection came out late, many fans will have already picked up a good part of these games. Otherwise it's a great buy.

Re: Analyst States That Switch 2's Price Won't "Really Matter" For Early Adopters

@PikminMarioKirby I also thought about the 3DS which initially sold for €250 and then dropped to €160, the same price as the DS. In that case I think the problem was that the 3DS cost almost as much as the Wii U, €50 less if I remember correctly, that is, a price too close to the living room console. Now the difference no longer exists, we'll see. I'm hoping for a price that isn't too high, max €450 for console + a game would be good for me.

Re: Retro Staff Credits Removed From Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Forever Entertainment Confirmed As Devs

AlleyCat

I don't think it's entirely wrong to write "based on the work of the original staff team". Because that's really the case, the original team didn't work on the remaster. Then it may happen that a developer of the original title is not happy with the work done with the remaster. He might be annoyed to see himself in the credits of a title that he considers a bad porting work.

Re: Review: Clock Tower: Rewind (Switch) - Pre-RE Survival Horror That's Elevated By Extras

AlleyCat

It's not easy to review an old game, but I was thinking about other media.
In a review of the 8K version of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly or the "stratospheric sound" version of (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, the reviewer would have focused only on the quality of the port/remaster, not making a comparison between Satisfaction and the modern music scene, I suppose.
Maybe even old video games should be reviewed like this. For this game, among the cons I would have put a slight stuttering which is mainly noticeable in the chase scenes.
