If you think this was the key issue with MP4 then I don’t have much hope for you. He was fine? Not really worth a discussion point.
The whole game was an utterly broken, disaster from the midpoint onwards

Focus on Doom(s), fallout and Indiana Jones please. No one cares about starfield and would rather the resources were allocated to actually good games

Does not inspire confidence ahead of fallout and doom releases.

Insert “Oh no! Anyway…” (Jeremy Clarkson meme)

I wonder if it still crashes every 15 minutes like the old switch 1 version did on my switch 2.

Hilarious that they couldn’t even be bothered boosting res past 1080p and 30fps even with DLSS.

I’ve watched the video - I can’t see any difference. As if anyone would pay for this

Pity that the game is a horror show, a disaster from top to bottom (excluding the graphics obv)

@Truegamer79 please tell me more about this woke agenda, a with some specific examples ‘youve been hearing’.

@Ralek85 it is only inevitable if you’re a psychotic capitalist and that is your belief system.

These are choices made by people, not inevitabilities

@Joe11 more likely this will restore HBO and undo the awful decisions made due to the discovery merger

Only real issue is battery, and I miss OLED a bit. But this will come later to switch 2.

Otherwise Cyberpunk, Donkey Kong, Silksong and Metroid Prime 4 have all been wonderful, generation defining gaming moments for me.

Once Elden Ring and Expedition 33 (fingers crossed) are ported, I’ll be set while I wait for the new Zelda and Mario. Everything else is just 4K updates for Metroid dread, Pikmin 4 etc.

I pity PlayStation and the other company who have really dropped the ball in comparison.

@Spider-Kev the first one is vastly superior. Doesn’t take itself too seriously, a more realistic narrative and better gameplay. I agree #2 felt directionless

Put it on a card and I’ll preorder right now

I hope they port the older ‘new’ games - ie ancient Egypt and Greece. Haven’t played AC since black flag, as lost interest.

Unfortunately Feudal Japan is a bit tired to my mind (too many games of late in this era) so probably not so keen on this - especially with performance issues.

Porting mirage and odyssey prob wouldn’t have these same issues?

Good game for the first half, then, sigh, it devolves into a truly infuriating shoot em up. Literally just waves and waves of enemies through to the end of the game. A tragedy. Wait for Rise, the best of the new trilogy.

@JohnnyMind cybermonday is an American tradition.

While technically correct, I can’t help but feel that the author’s writing might’ve had more impact if he’d used ‘next week’ instead of ‘next month’ to describe the launch date.

@OldGamer999 4k and 60fps (docked). It looks and plays great.

Handheld is 60fps but can’t tell the resolution - looks like 1080p

@electrolite77 I would be so honoured. Unfortunately, I wasn’t in appraisal of either - I find both revolting. I was more making the point that people complain, but they never actually punish the people responsible.

All the avengers movies make tonnes of money, and there will always be a marketing dork in New York somewhere who’s been assigned ‘make Metroid more accessible, make it sell 20m.” Who goes “well morons keep seeing avengers 36, what if we made Metroid into avengers?”

The logic, to his brain is unassailable. Many layers of corporate approve this.

Don’t give them the ammunition they need, and you won’t face these repercussions.

Sincerely, corporate drone

Instead of complaining about marvel humour and JJ Abrams “they have jet packs now?”

Perhaps consider not watching marvel films and pushing them over $1bn in revenue.

Then people wouldn’t consider this to be something anyone wants.

Unfortunately, a lot of you love Spider-Man 119, Batman 7 and avengers 36.

It is perfectly reasonable for corporate executives to assume the vast population of the west are stupid, illiterate babies who love this stuff.

You reap what you sow.

@LightSpirit Microsoft lying to regulators to line their pockets?

Colour me shocked

@JaxonH main character syndrome is real

How sad that the strategy ‘don’t pump out crap games’ is considered unique or admirable.

Hyrule warriors is not first party. It’s made by garbage warehouse Koei-Tecmo.

@8thDoctor you can’t ’opt out’ of crime.

“Hey its ok to rob you because you didn’t tell me you didnt want to be robbed.”

@Rob3008 please explain the irony. Deliberate Copyright theft by a bot is quite different to using a tool to create your own content.

I doubt your comment was made sincerely, unless you fundamentally understand the concepts being discussed.

@Max_the_German I work in tech and have been using LLMs since 2013. Please reconsider where you get your news, and stop taking ChatGPT marketing hype at face value. Automated text generation and chatbots are an ancient technology. We really need some more critical thinking in these forums please.

Bummer for those of us that haven’t completed Metroid prime 3… and have no means of doing so.

No Metroid prime 2 & 3 is one of the bizarrest of Nintendo’s bizarre decisions. I mean, they did a half-assed job dropping sunshine and Mario 64 on a cart. How hard is it to do the same for these two?

Please don’t respond about motion controls - we all know ‘turning the key in a lock’ wiimote actions can be easily mapped to a single button.

@elpardo1984 correct. The reviewer is in error.

Physical carts plz

Astonishing how many of you don’t understand how sourcing and credit works.

Embedding someone else’s video from YouTube, and casually referencing their story, without directly linking to the actual story itself deprives the original publication, and author, the hits and revenue, at a minimum. I won’t go into the details around plagiarism etc.

Here is the original written article for those interested in supporting the actual journalist:
https://www.eurogamer.net/digitalfoundry-2024-tomb-raider-1-3-remastered-tech-review

Hi you should link to your sources. Not cool to just steal content from Eurogamer/digital foundry without giving them credit.

I love how MS is making promises for… a company they haven’t bought yet. None of this is legally binding, because they don’t own Call Of Duty.

Don’t fall for the PR spin folks.

Will love it when this acq is blocked.

All I wanted was Metroid prime and it just happened. Saw what you want about Nintendo being inscrutable - this is a fantastic shadow drop.

I mean, the sheer balls - fantastic

@Capt_T nice response - 100% agree

@SonOfDracula I think you missed the point because you were too busy looking down your nose.

My point is, I don’t know anyone affected by it - and suspect it’s mostly a media beat up or a bunch of nerds crying over something they’ve exaggerated.

Like you.

Shoo nerd.

Into my fifth year of owning a switch (second model, moved to Oled in 2021), I have 4 joycon, a pro, a ringfit and a 8bitdo Pro 2. have never had any controller issues. Not trolling, genuinely asking - is joycon drift actually a thing? What is it? Is it when the static deadzone drifts in a direction?

Or is this whole issue just about some hardcore nerds who thrash their controllers and break them.

In fact, I don’t know anyone who had had joycon drift - 3 friends who owns switches. Is this just a beat up because Nintendo is a price gouger?

Genuinely asking

Please just don’t waste time and resources on online/mulitplayer nonsense (that no one plays anyhow), just a tightly focused single player campaign

Hi do we have a release date yet? I can’t find any info about this anywhere… and it’s November 2022 two weeks out from WC

Sorry forgot to add - no one gives a flying f*** about genesis games that have been emulated on every system I’ve owned for the past decade. These should just be free.

I just want to buy individual games, that are permanently installed on my system. I’ll pay - and quite a lot more than the sub model. I’d easily pay $10+ for Metroid fusion on its own, locked to my system, no internet required. But without any of the key GBA games - why would I bother?

I can play a better version of Mario 64 on the anniversary disc (with galaxy) and Zelda’s I have the lovely remasters on 3DS. Why haven’t these come over instead of the 64 originals?

Hate Kirby and Bayonetta. no new Mario, Zelda or DK. No fzero or star fox. Fire emblem was destroyed by the horrific three houses, so I hope engage goes back to 3DS quality.

I just want Metroid prime trilogy. I don’t even care if it’s not remastered.

If we can’t have that - can we please atleast get fish in a barrel kaching kaching ports like dark souls 2, Batman Arkham trilogy, metal gear etc.

Please Nintendo, be lazy in the right ways. Port old stuff like GBA, not farming crap and JRPG anime crap

Argh I just want to be able to play DS and GBA games without having to open my 3DS (while I’m on it, bring the remastered Zelda’s and star fox across). Why on earth would I give a crap about Sega? I can literally play these games on an iPad

Been hanging out for this all year - really annoying we can’t get a date beyond ‘summer’ which ended this week

Mario golf and two remakes ain't exactly rocking my world.
