@roy130390 Kojima did make Snake do stuff like what happens in Twin Snakes. On MGS2, he boards the tanker by bungie jumping. And at the end of the game, he jumps to the water to "chase" Metal Gear Ray? Hahahaha, you're just banging your head towards a wall dude. On MGSV, Sahelanthropus pulls up a sword that creates protuberances from the ground. MGS has always been anime like, even Otacon's comparison of Snake to an action hero, and talking about anime and robots, is a direct reference to that. Accents were not kept for MGS4, so I'm right with the whole accent thing, or you wanted Mei Ling to say "flied lice" on that game? Good for you, for owning multiple consoles, but that doesn't change the fact that people saw MGS as a Sony "exclusive", and got Sony's consoles because of those games. Venom Snake was just a lame excuse from Kojima to justify the fact that Snake beat Big Boss twice. Worst plot twist ever, and don't get me started on the incomplete mess that MGSV is.
@roy130390 I'm Bolivian, and even I found Mei Ling's accent to be dumb, thank God it was disposed on Twins Snakes, and, it carried over to MGS4, since both her and Naomi don't have accents on that game. Snake battles tanks, helicopters, cyborg ninjas, enhanced soldiers, and gigantic robots. If he's not an anime character and a Super Soldier, I don't know what he is hahahaha. Besides, Kojima told Riuhei Kitamura, the director of the cutscenes, to make them "his own", instead of recreating the cutscenes as they were in the original, as Kitamura was doing first, but Kojima told him that, if he wanted to make the cutscenes as in the first game, he would have directed them himself. The cutscenes in the original are very lifeless and stiff, the improvement in the Twin Snakes was night and day. People tend to hate it because it was a GameCube exclusive, and back then, MGS was considered a "Sony exclusive", and Sony fanboys just threw crap to the game, just because it didn't came out on PS2. Now, it's generally well praised, for its improvements on the original. And, Snake beat Big Boss, not once, but twice (the whole Venom Snake thing is stupid, but, whatever), despite being the "inferior" clone. Hell, he even beat the "Superior" clone, just with sheer willpower.
Nintendo would never price a console like that. And, the "PROblem" consoles that Sony releases, are just an excuse to sell the base models at a chepear price, and, on the case of the PS5, is to sell refurbished consoles at half the price, and Sony will make those refurbished consoles count as a new sell hahahaha. Both Sony and Microsoft have paved the way themselves, for the need of a true next generation of consoles, that will start with the Switch's succesor. Nintendo played it nice, there was no need for them to release a new console until now, and Sony with Microsoft, have prepared the stage for Nintendo's upcoming reveal with their latest screw ups.
@roy130390 no, the one that has the inferior voice acting is the original MGS. The accents of Mei Ling and Naomi are annoying, everyone reads their lines with the sense that they need to do it as fast as possible, the delivery of the lines is underwhelming, and, on top of that, the traduction done to the Japanese script was terrible, hence why the script of Twin Snakes is an improvement, and the overall voice over work is sublime. I fell in love with MGS on PS1, but, after getting Twin Snakes, when it launched 20 years ago, I never looked back to the original, until it was re-released with the Master Collection last year, and I understood why Twin Snakes is the superior version. Even the cutscenes are better. This is the only game where we see Solid Snake do "Supersoldier stuff". It's awesome on every way.
Watched the "report" in the afternoon, these are the news that I wanted to hear! I guess optimizing a game like MGS4 will take its time. No worries, I've been waiting to properly play that game for years now, I can still wait some more!
Astro Bot, the poor man's Mario Bros, comes out after the disasters that were Concord and SW Outlaws. I wonder how the PS5 users are feeling for playing a game that straight copies Mario, and is " for kids", something they always criticize Nintendo aims for their games hahahaha.
You should have just give it a 10! I still remember the entire afternoons spent playing Street Fighter Vs X-Men on my cousin's PS1, and, on the arcade that was in the corner of my house, playing Marvel Vs Capcom. They had to give me a taburette back then, I was too small to reach the arcade stick and buttons hahahaha.
Jack Black doesn't look anything like Steve. My kids have a Steve action figure, and I assume he's supposed to look like the actor who plays Andy in Modern Family. I didn't showcase the trailer to my kids yet, because I'm afraid they're going to make me go to see this movie hahahaha. I remember my son "watching" Minecraft: Story Mode on Netflix years ago. I guess he did like it.
This was a really great review, I laughed a lot with the Haunted Castle part hehehe. I want to get this collection, but, for Haunted Castle Revisited. As the reviewer points, this is the closest thing to a new Castlevania we're going to be getting from Konami, and it looks great! I'm not a fan of the IGA games, because they're all the same, just repackaged. In one, you have "seals", in the other you have "books", and on the other you have "glyphs", but all three do the exact same thing. Portrait of Ruin is the one that stands the most, due to having a two character gameplay system, and it has a very cool secret boss battle. Might get the collection for just PoR and HCR.
I'm tempted to get this collection, Portrait of Ruin was a great game, but, to tell you the truth, I want to play Haunted Castle Revisited more than any of the other three games hahahaha.
I'm going with Alien Isolation this weekend. I got it as soon as it launched on the Switch, and, my God, what an amazing survival horror game it is. Having watched Alien Romulus this past week in the movie theaters, the atmosphere the movie has, it's much closer to what Isolation is, than other Alien movies. It inspired me to complete the game for another round.
Microsoft ruined things badly with the handling of this studio. The incompetence of Microsoft is terrible, hopefully, the sequel will release on every other platform, and will become a huge seller.
Wow, they were going to follow up initially with the N64 connection, hence why the logo looks similar. I can't wait for more images to pop up! I still play GC games on my modded Wii U, and my GC, altough not working anymore, sits on a shelf for display, what a beautiful console it still is!
@jamesthemagi sales are still good, even with the announcement of the reveal of the new console, they sold more Switch units this last quarter compared to the one before. And, imagine if they do a price cut of the current Switch for this holiday season, which is the time where they sell the most consoles, they'll reach those numbers easily. You're also forgetting the fact that people will still be buying the Switch, even after the new console launches, because it'll be cheaper in comparison, and the library of games is enormous.
Still better sales than the previous quarter, there was no "killer app" for this quarter, it's understandable game sales are lower now. Those holiday sales will help Switch get closer to the DS and PS2 number. Like someone said above it's not crazy to think the Switch will sell more than 160 million units, they're going to have that number by this time next year.
It's a fun game, if you have someone to play it. The enemy AI is incredibly unfair, and, in Arcade Mode, it only has three continues! You can choose to have some perks if you repeat the fight, tho, like having the other fighter to have less health bar, but the game is still unfair. It's a beautiful game to look at, and play. Worth alone for that.
Killer7 was such an awesome and unique game, it got me through chicken pots back in 2006, when I got the game for Christmas. I want to buy it on Steam, but I'm still waiting for the Switch port to eventually arrive. Count me in for Killer11/Killer7 Beyond, or whatever it ends up being called!
@burninmylight "Tatsunoko vs. Capcom and its graphical characteristics were optimized for the Wii, which prevents the game from being ported to other consoles without completely re-building the game." There you go, taken straight from Wikipedia. This game will stay as a Wii exclusive forever, for this reason in particular, and the licensing issues in general.
The best Vs game was Tatsunoko Vs Capcom, what an awesome Fighting game. I'd love the game to come to Switch, but it's basically impossible to port, since the development team did stuff that only makes the game playable on the Wii.
@SBandy1 too bad they won't deliver good games on a regular basis, on PS5's side. Not saying that the game looks bad, but, is still just Mario from Wish List hehehe.
Funny thing is, the big third party titles available on Switch, are beating out by a large margin, their siblings in the other consoles. FC on Switch beating out the PS5 and PS4 versions, speak a lot about how well the Switch is doing. Even MK1! Not as good as expected game, but it's a very solid version now.
"According to the external translators, who worked with Nintendo as CONTRACTORS THROUGH SERVICE PROVIDER Localsoft". That's all you need to know, to realize this is BS. They were contractors, freelancers, hired by an outsourcing company, NOT Nintendo. Also, they agreed to those terms by themselves, no one put a gun in their heads to sign on and do their jobs. You feel like you were robbed? You knew what you were signing off to do, like any other freelancer work. It's called REAL LIFE.
It's not about power, is about the games! If Nintendo can make enough impact with the software for their next gen platform, it'll do amazing number for them.
@Octo-JellyFish hard to not laugh at it. No disrespect towards the guy who's doing this, but, there's a good reason why Nintendo waited until the DS to release a portable Mario 64.
@Bondi_Surfer You have one point there. Nintendo still is the only company that still makes "pick up and play" games. The rest of the companies, made games that are complicated to play from the start.
Nintendo always designs its consoles and controllers to reflect that, it's a VIDEOGAME CONSOLE. PlayStation and Xbox now do basically PCs with funny menus, whereas Nintendo keeps on making ONLY pure game consoles. The Switch success, is in part, because of that design.
I'd love to see MK Trilogy, Mythologies Sub Zero, and 4, we can forget about the awful Special Forces. Resident Evil 2 would be an awesome addition, probably the best way to play the original, gameplay wise. Mace: The Dark Ages would also be a great addition to the app.
