Similar to the movie industry, we will eventually get to a point where every major publisher is owned by 2 or 3 US corporations. The benefits of capitalism cannot be disputed, but endgame corporatism is bad for everyone.
The first Beyond Good and Evil is fantastic and creative. A simple platformer with a photography element. With the time in development, it seems they are making it too elaborate and possibly against what made the first one good.
People don't buy them yearly for the squad or kit updates. When FIFA22 gets released, it will become difficult to find people to play online in FIFA21. Not saying it's right, but that's why.
The current hardware can support on-the-fly 4k AI upscaling. It's a fantastic feature that made me want to upgrade my Nvidia Shield - which is almost what the Switch is anyway.
@Jayofmaya Yes. Did I say something that was opposed to your own opinion? Brazilians voted for him in overwhelming numbers and he is a pretty cool dude as this article proves.
They won't split the player base. Every game has to run on standard Switch hardware, so we may end up with the "New 3DS" situation with not a lot of support for games taking advantage. The best they can give us is more RAM for less lag, even better battery life and maybe Bluetooth support for headsets and voice chat.
It makes some publisher's indifference to the Switch baffling. I hope we eventually get Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1&2 remakes, along with PES and others. I'm sure they can put an optimised version out.
@JimmySpades So passive aggressive.. Everyone knows the Switch port of The Outer Worlds is broken and needs work compared to other platforms. Nothing wrong with mentioning that here.
@HobbitGamer With all the cut content also! I know the Mako exploration was widely criticised but they cut out half of the planets in the original ME. There was also a lot of character arcs removed from ME2.
An FBI Special Agent protagonist that talks to a voice in his head and gets around town on a skateboard just sounds funnily bizarre. Have to check this out.
@PlayedNSlayed Same, my Switch backlog has ended up as bad as my Steam backlog from when I used to game a lot on PC. Sales always seem to work on me and my brain doesn't want to miss out on buying it for cheaper - even if I never play it. We need 30 hours per day!

Re: GTA Publisher Take-Two Is Buying UK Veteran Codemasters
@Slowdive
Agreed. Large corporations can easily lobby governments to do their bidding that an SME just couldn't do.

Re: Ring Fit Adventure Has Now Outsold Zelda: Breath Of The Wild's Physical Sales In Japan
I'm not surprised. It's a videogame where you can actually acomplish something tangible.
Re: Microsoft Has A "Very Good Relationship With Nintendo" But Isn't Making Any Promises Moving Forward
Xbox really has a lot of momentum right now. Glad to see after their disastrous console generation.

Re: A Short Hike's Sales Have Been "Much Stronger" On Switch Compared To PC
Sales generally being better on the Switch makes the publisher decision not to release Crash Bandicoot 4 on Switch, a poor one.
Re: Rumour: Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster Won't Be Coming To Switch After All, Says New Report
EA are only porting stripped down games that would run on a cheap android phone.

Both of which work on Xbox One and will work on Series X/S.

Xbox Gamepass is SERIOUS value. This is going to be an interesting few years now!
Re: Video: The Problem With The Super Mario 3D All-Stars Release
It might seem cool to be a communist/socialist, but this whole industry wouldn't exist without markets and capitalism.

Re: FIFA 21 Costs £45 On Switch, Despite Being Another 'Legacy' Reskin

Re: Immortals Fenyx Rising Sure Does Remind Us Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
It's inspired, but not in a poor rip-off way. Looks really good!

Re: Netflix's Resident Evil Series Has Been Officially Confirmed, First Details Released
Getting invested in Netflix TV shows is a big waste of time. They will just cancel it prematurely, like Altered Carbon, The OA, etc.

Re: Etrian Mystery Dungeon Will Be Removed From The 3DS eShop In Europe Next Month
The publishers are very unreasonable and seemingly want to push more people into custom firmware and game backups.

Re: Rumour: Switch Control Options Supposedly Uncovered In Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 Warehouse Demo
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 was probably my most played game on PlayStation. Would love to see this come to Switch alongside Crash and Spyro.

Re: Random: Nintendo Posts New Image Of Mario In The Sunshine, Internet Goes Wild Again
Super Mario Sunshine 2. Instead of another remake.

It was very boring, but I'm kind of glad since I have a backlog to get through and want all releases to stop just for me to catch up.

Re: Moderate A Streamer's Chat In Gamer Girl, Coming To Switch This September
