Enjoy the "Only one that looks good is the one for the fandom I like" comments. They all look of good quality. Ghostbusters one is neat, love the furry Grinch one.
Ran great for me Tried both performance and graphics, I suggest performance, smoooooooth frame rate. I've played this on my PS4 Pro as well, but I like fiddling with new tech when I can so I wanted to check this out. Who won rock/paper/scissors to get to review this?
@TheFrenchiestFry What's the point of straight adapting a game that's already basically an interactive movie into something not interactive and thus almost always worse? Like live-action cartoon/anime adaptations, they usually stink because we already have an almost 1-to-1 comparison.
Either way, the Resident Evil movies might now have followed the plot of the games, but they certainly had similar tone to those games, which is to say they were very tongue-in-cheek and silly, while having zoombies running amuck doing goofy things.
TL;DR This looks fun, adaptations need to adapt things or they're pointless.
@Xenobound94 Exactly this. There are A LOT of other content creators who would fall under the issue of the names or merch who haven't been hit with a cease and desist. I was wondering what was different about them and bingo-bongo, you can't have her showing up on "poke" searches.
One of the best YouTube channels around if you're interested in prototypes and early builds of things. Highly rec checking out their other videos when you have time.
Very fun game. I think it's worth noting the game is made in HTML5, which is absurd. Anyways, for those interested, there's a demo on the website because, again, the game was made in HTML5, and I can't get over that.
If my character is a high level but I use crummy equipment, games don't level scale to my equipment. If you're the champion, it doesn't level scale to your Pokemon. Aye yi yi, some people love to complain.
Please please please stop posting stories about PETA. They are very bad people posing as animal rights evangelists. They kill so many animals, and crave attention and press. Please ignore them and don't give them what they want.
I see people complain about Wii U ports but I'd like to point them to the PS3, which is a PROBLEM. The systems generally aren't surviving much longer, and there are games like Little Big Planet and MGS4 which are going to be completely lost to time on that thing if they aren't ported. Assuming the Switch form factor will be used going forward, please port everything, Nintendo.
@Tibob I THINK, every game but the ones that are specifically single player are online, which is why they had to say some aren't online because some are like, Solitaire.
@retro_player_22 While I agree, I also think the way a 32X works is very difficult to work around, with needing to plug the output of the Genesis into the 32X then output from the 32X. I don't know it they ever firmly stated it would be a thing but they would be looking into it. For those less serious about 1-to-1 replication, emulation is fine, I'm just saying there's an alternative and purists are far from fans of hyperkin's emulation work.
If you're a purist, I would say save your money for the Analogue pocket. It's an actual portable running via FPGA with a fancy screen and it will also play more than just GB/GBC/GBA. Lynx, Game Gear, Neo Geo Pocket Color, and others not yet announced. It will also have a dock to HDMI out to a TV.
@tendonerd Spend $40 on jogging shoes to then spend another $40 dollars on jogging shoes in two weeks because a $40 jogging shoe is likely going to fall apart. People spend hundred on exercise videos like P90X, $80 is a great price. Some people, man.
@YozenFroghurt I exercise regularly (four times a week) but weight training and resistance training are two completely different types of exercise, resistance working smaller muscle, thus Ring Fit has filled a nice void for me in-between cardio and weight lifting, but OK.
@Chunkboi79 Funny enough, I do all my cardio while playing video games. Riding a stationary bike while playing games makes it go by much faster for me. Can't run, my ol' creeky knees can't take all the constant impact.
@YourGoodFriendly Yeah, because graphics have improved and if you think these don't look cleaner than they did in Sun and Moon you can, but I'd fully disagree. Mario does, on the other hand, look very much the same in: Mario 3D World, Odyssey, Super Mario Party, Mario and Sonic at the Olympics, Mario Kart, Mario Maker Story mode, and Smash Bros.
Lots of armchair game devs/animators/artists chiming in because they're the experts. "They're new but look the same!" Yeah, it's call brand recognition, you want it to look the same. It would be like seeing Mickey Mouse in multiple cartoons and flailing about because he looks the same in both. People have been too enabled to complain anymore. The game isn't even out yet, for crying out loud.
It's a bummer for some people, clearly. My personal philosophy was to always experience the new regions with the new Pokemon presented in it. Why play a new game and use the same 6 Pokemon every single time region? I dunno. I caught every possible Pokemon in Sun, first time I ever did that, but my niece was recently in the hospital and couldn't run around much after, so I gave her a 2DS and wiped some Pokemon games for her, so maybe I'm not as passionate as other people.
Big fan of how Microsoft has gone about their business with the XBox brand lately. Backwards comparability, Game Pass (and the affordability of Game Pass Ultimate), how they're working with other companies, putting their games on Steam, how their XCloud service allows you to still physically own the games you also stream if you want. They've been a delight since Phil Spencer came around, he seems to genuinely care and like he gets it. It's nice.

Re: Review: Burnout Paradise Remastered - Thrilling Open-World Racing Tempered By Blurry Visuals And A High Price
That price is rough. It's also available on EA Access, so for $35 on the PS4/XBox/PC, I can get it AND the rest of the games available in Access.
