It's amazing how Capcom can deliver 3 games in succession all with great Switch 2 versions but NIS can't get this single game up and running in time. Pathetic.
Day one for sure. I had sold my Wii U before Star Fox Zero launched so it's been a while since I played a new one. Obviously this is Star Fox 64, again, but that is one of my favorite games of all time and some new story content is cool, also has a good price point.
Capcom had no problems getting two high profile games on Switch 2 day and date with the other versions. Sucks that these devs failed to deliver, hopefully if an NS2 version of this game actually does release it's not total garbage but not expecting much.
Day one. I love the world of Splatoon and while it is a great online multiplayer IP, I prefer single player games so I'm real interested to see what they do here.
@FX29 The demo was a great idea. I was interested but had it on the 'wait for sale' list. After the demo, and then seeing the $60 price, I decided to pre-order. Happy I did, what I've played so far is fantastic. Reminds me of several of my favorite 7th and 8th gen games with a cool hacking mechanic mixed in for the gunplay. I wasn't sure that'd work but it does, extremely well.
Pragmata on the Switch 2. Just got to the New York City stage, really enjoy what I've played so far. The combo of shooting and hacking, which is what appealed to me most in the demo, is fantastic. It's not complicated and doesn't slow the action. Exploring the environments, digging into some of the background lore has been great and I'm interested to see where the main story goes. The dynamic between Hugh and Diana is also very well done.
Some people have said this feels like a PS2-era game, for me it feels like a cross between some of my favorite 7th and 8th gen games. Lost Planet and Dead Space with a little bit of The Last of Us and Death Stranding mixed in. Not very far along yet, but the game makes a really good first impression and I can't wait to play more. Crazy it's been nearly 15 years since Capcom's last new IP.
Yup, love the demo so I decided to pre-order. First new IP from Capcom in a long time, got some Lost Planet 1 vibes from it in the sense that while it feels a bit familiar to other third person Capcom games it also tries something a bit different with the hacking mini game. Decided to go with the NS2 version for the portability aspect, didn't notice any performance issues in the demo and given how well SF 6 and RE Requiem turned out, I'm not concerned about the full version of the game. Will try to get the Amiibo but I wasn't able to pre-order one, hopefully Best Buy or some other place will have extras for the launch.
Switch 2 - Resident Evil Requiem. Doing my second playthrough on Casual difficulty to rack up the points for infinite ammo ahead of trying the game on Insanity mode.
@JaxonH
And if this actually happens, I'll be buying the game a third time. Already have it on PS4 and 5. Really enjoying Capcom's support for NS2, hope it continues the whole gen.
Bought this on PS5 when it came out back in October, I think it was. Awesome update to a great fighting game, definitely the definitive version. Reminds me of VF 4 Evo on PS2 way back in 2003. Nice updates, especially on the single player side.
I'd say 0 and 1 remake and, fortunately, both are readily available for Switch 1 and 2. If people don't want to bother with the older games (though I would highly recommend them), the best place to start is RE 2 Remake followed by 3R and 4R then 7-9. 3R can be skipped, it's the weakest of all the recent entries, but I still had some fun playing it.
Finishing up my first run through of Resident Evil Requiem on the Switch 2. This version of the game, like Street Fighter 6 before it, is impressive enough that I think because of the portable nature of the NS2, this will be the primary platform I play it on going forward.
@EVIL-C Obviously. Which is why I've always been concerned about Tencent and NetEase gaining the ground the way they have and don't like the Saudi's growing influence. But there is a group of people in the West, not just limited to 5-follower accounts on Twitter, who are involved in the game industry that are massively influential and have also been responsible for stuff I don't like.
@maddox121 Easily offended people in the West are absolutely a problem, too, but even with that, Capcom still found work arounds. Going to be much more difficult to work around people who actually invest in the company.
@Fiskern And right around that time, Nintendo started tightening the reigns again on what kind of content it allows in games. Now, it could just be that NoA, which has always been run by puritan idiots, was granted more influence by NoJ, but it's still quite a coincidence and when you factor in what's gone on with SNK, people are right to be concerned.
@Nep-Nep-Freak It will. Future Street Fighter games I could see getting rid of Cammy's leotard for good, or if it's there, being altered for more 'coverage.' And the people who cheer that, well, good news for them, the Saudi's aren't exactly big fans of the types of LGBT content they love. There is nothing good that comes out of this.
@PurpleG I hope there is another character involved, at least. Leon is my favorite in the series but I miss a lot of the other classic ones. Chris is a good choice to work with Leon, if the expansion is focused on him, but I also wouldn't mind him teaming up with Claire again.
Resident Evil Requiem on both the PS5 and Switch 2. Almost done with my playthrough on the former, still in the earlier sections of the NS2 version, very impressed with it overall in portable mode, a few frame rate dips here and there but nothing major. Given my history with Resident Evil is as much tied to Nintendo as it is PlayStation (RE 2 on N64 was the first game in the series I owned and I bought a Gamecube mainly for REmake, 0 and 4) it's great to have a mainline entry on the platform right from the get go again.
@repsahj
I was going to post the same thing. It was funny how for years 155 million was the official PS2 number then Switch 1 starts creeping up on that and, all the sudden, Sony finds an additional 5 mil PS2 sales. 🤣
It's going to be awful but I'll go see it anyway, can't be worse than Welcome to Raccoon City was. I don't mind Capcom branching off into movies/tv but I wish it would stick to animated rather than live action.
@ElkinFencer10 That was the case. But since around 2022 Xbox has been worse than PlayStation with censorship and in the last year Nintendo has become worse than both. I expect this game will either be heavily sanitized, I'm positive that's part of the 'significant updates.'
I played the demo and, maybe I'm just not remember the remaster correctly but when I played it on PS4 it seemed a bit more brutal as far as the violence. They've been toning that down starting with Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
I've bought several Arcade Archive 1 and 2 games, definitely looking forward to seeing how Console Archives plays out. Hopefully Sega will license out some of its Saturn games.
@rjejr With how expensive a lot of stuff in gaming is these days, I've cut back on how much I double dip. More times than not when I do buy a game on both Nintendo and PS it's an indie as most of those don't have crazy prices.
@rjejr That's what I'd recommend as well but some games have been worth double dipping, imo. I have Street Fighter 6 on both PS5 and Switch 2, for example. Just getting ready to start this game as I recently finished Remake Intergrade and Yuffie DLC. Really liked part 1, so it's good to know Rebirth is even better. I know it reviewed extremely well.
@NintndoNik Yeah, for me it's going to depend on the game. I have to imagine Nintendo wouldn't be stupid enough to ever again censor violence and blood like it did MK 1 way back in the day but for games that have more suggestive content, I'll no longer be purchasing on Switch platforms. It sucks because Nintendo actually seemed to let devs have fun while Sony and MS went full prude. But clearly NoA has reverted to its ultra puritan ways and Furukawa, like the moron he is, is letting it happen.
'Some?' No, fix the entire issue and let people see all the uncensored content or don't bother. The game is rated M, it's even on PS5 and Xbox without issues and both Sony and MS had been more prudish than Nintendo until recently. Another stupid unforced error.
@FX29 It was topping the Eshop chart here in the States last I saw, which is pretty impressive. I think, worldwide, overall numbers when factoring digital and physical will be pretty good for a really late port.
Probably the best way to experience this game. I like the added single player content that brings it closer to what VF 4 Evo and the first VF 5 release offered. Not exactly the same, but, good enough.
