@Silly_G I dunno if I'd call Diamond and Pearl done and dusted at launch given how the Gen 4 game engine made getting out of bounds and crashing hilariously easy, the games crash if you cycle too fast between specific areas, the engine couldnt run at a decent speed until HG/SS, it had to completely rewrite save data whenever the PC was accessed until Gen 5, it had the ability to misalign battle sprites with a single move by one pixel per use.

Oh and the official censor system in the game stopped you trading Pokemon like Nosepass unless you nicknamed them. And they then repeated this mistake in Gen 5.

It wasnt a total broken mess like RBY was, but Diamond and Pearl certainly didnt spend all the time in the oven they needed to.

@Clyde_Radcliffe He was in Rivals 2 and did work for Generations.

I mean, they barely marketed the damn thing, and this makes the PS4 release look like a potential waste of time.

@JamesR You're two years late then buddy.

Looks too good. Has to be shown on a Switch Pro clearly. /s

@MarcelM The steam deck wont make a profit per unit. Not from cramming all that into a small form factor in a brand new APU from AMD with modern GPU tech inside.

Even Gabe Newell said that yeah, getting the prices that low was painful, but they have Steam: The money will come from there.

This sounds like what was said in 2017 when it was to be revealed at the Game Awards.

And in 2018.

And in 2019.

Metroid Prime Trilogy HD is done. Its been done. It'll keep being done until Nintendo actually makes the thing and releases it one day according to this broken clock.

I think a good example of this is Life is Strange.

Announced for everything except Switch.

And when shown off later, same again.

And at E3 with SquareEnix. No Switch.

Two days later at E3, oh there it is, we found it behind the sofa. It's coming the same day we just didn't want to tell you.

I don't get that.

So is SEGA going to release anything in 2021 that they dont leak before hand? Because so far it has been literally everything

@T0mizawa My highest possible speed in my area, and most of my country, is far slower than that. Its not dialup, just around 80mbps. Gigabit is rolling out but not for years.

@T0mizawa Getting 1Gbps LAN in a console is laughable.

Mostly because most of the planet doesn't even have internet connection speeds that can reach that yet.

What's with the resurgence in "play it x days early" again? They're doing it with Sonic Colours too

I remember when this game had too many rats to run on Switch and they refused to compromise.

Guess the cloud can render rats though

@link3710 According to the above list, it's not even 150,000 digital units

I mean it took them 5 years to make 2 and that was including finding a publisher in the first place.

I think the concern was when Platinum crowdfundednan already complete game, and then Babylon's Fall ended up looking worse than it did three years ago at reveal with still no release date, and they have several other games in the works.

To many, seeing a game announced after Bayonetta 3 resurface with still no date and looking worse than it did initially and seeing other games of theirs being announced, it makes people think it's low priority for them.

I keep saying, it'll be called a Switch XL regardless. You dont make a Lite and not offer the counterpart in similar branding.

Switch XL: XL screen on the go, XL resolution on the TV.

The new employees are probably the Monolith Soft staffers they keep hiring, and the addition of Next Level Games, if they count those companies.

@the_beaver Monster Hunter Rise won't, as it's a third party game Nintendo can't release those figures.

Look at the bottom of the Chibi-Robo amiibo for a surprise.

Banjo for sentimental reasons regarding a lost friend, and Terry, my main.

What I want to know is if a manufacturer simply intends to put existing storefronts from other businesses on their platform as the only way to gain games, surely they'd end up making far less money outside of selling their hardware.

Plus, all that for $300 doesn't sound like much profit to me.

@RudyC3 It was using tech that was only two years old.

That's also what the PS4 and Xbox One did. Used tech that was already a known thing. PS5 and Series systems have avoided this by using stuff that is brand new (Within a year) but within two to three years THAT will be outdated. But the cost of using brand new is...well its new. It costs a hell of a lot more to make. It depends on the business priorities at hand.

If this is real, then being the first console to have any AI upscaling tech built into the silicon is a huge thing, given DLSS 2.0 isnt even massively adopted into PC games yet.

@gaga64 They did say in the video that nowadays being the worst version isn't much different from being the best unlike say, previous different versions between consoles in years past where one is vastly different to the other.

So in a way they did just say...yeah it doesn't matter.

Also the video made me laugh: Switch vs PS5, seems legit.

Wait.

The higher ups at SEGA tell those who work on the series to ignore their users?

Looking at the past few games that checks out...even when you consider Forces level designers were all brand new.

Given these guys openly admitted they didn't care and used fan wikis as references when writing the plots...

Yeah good. They started strong in that lighter Saturday morning cartoon vibe and then it kinda...didn't work after a few years.

Ah yes, the game EA had announced content for on other systems for past September 2020, and then announced all that content was scrapped because the player base has died.

Let's port THAT ONE to Switch.

Were people expecting coop or something?

Yeah. Sniper Elite 4 that comes out Tuesday.

@RainbowGazelle Even though the interview was with XSEED? So why would XSEED say they had to be convinced if it wasn't them who needed convincing to do the port?

@Silly_G It's more like six games now, as one of the games reported by Jeff Grubb has had it's support dropped on other platforms after it released just last year.

@Anguspuss 51 Worldwide Games only took around a year and a half it seems. Made by the same studio who made Super Mario Party in 2018.

@Robo-Knight Ah yes, removing the National Pokedex. What a bad user interface design decision.

@Yoshinator Well if Epic and Apple keep hitting heads UE4 will be wiped from Apple entirely so....yikes.

This port came at a good time.

@nessisonett So with that logic, which is quite agreeable, wouldn't the issue of third parties charging more be a non-issue then?

Interesting how the upfront cost is an issue but the likely real cost later isnt.

@Kidfunkadelic83 Yeah. Yeah you do. Crash 4 on the store page right now is £60.

I mean just over the past two years most PS4 games now are £60 and not £50. The upcoming Crash 4 is one of them.

At the price they are charging, £60 in the UK, I fully expect a strategic double dip is involved here.

To quote the famous example, FIFA is rather 3+, but Pokemon Red is 12+ on 3DS because it has the Game Corner.

They only got TLOU Remastered in 2018?

Remarkable. Let's discuss canning E3 almost 4 months before it goes up, just in case the virus is still around.

Better to do it than not I suppose.

Well this ran like ass on PS4 so this should be fun.

The French have an award for fragility...huh.

@Pudjay1 @antdickens @GravyThief This may be worth whipping out that PAL Gamecube and a selection of games, get some definitive testing done?

@antdickens Interesting. I may look into this then.

But to my recollection, this wont work with European Gamecube systems/software right? Soomething about lacking Progressive Scan?

@Lordplops What do you mean by that?

That's a nice dig at Google Stadia too.

"But the way of playing is actually not very different from before with Pokemon Bank: up until now, you have always only been able to meet Pokemon from a certain region."

But....with Pokemon Bank even if the Pokemon wasn't in a certain region....you could still use it.

So no, you havent always only been able to meet Pokemon from a certain region. That's only started with Let's Go.

@gamer89 Wanna cast that lure out to sea to catch some Cheep Cheeps mate?

@mjharper Buuuuurn
