Re: Review: Ice Station Z (3DS eShop)

in happier news. the results of the sega survey are out. bayonetta scored in neither 'brand you are most invested in', nor 'most hoped revival', but she did make it all the way to fourth for favorite character. i'd bet that most of those votes came from wii u players once again punching above their weight.

Re: Project CARS Isn't Planned to Appear on the Nintendo Switch

Jamotello

games like project cars, gran turismo, and forza, all serve as car guy fantasies beyond just being racing games. not getting project cars might be offset by the fact that 505 games is a switch partner and they've got assetto corsa. that game's hardcore tho', even for the console versions. it might be too much for the casual switch gamer.

Re: Video: Digital Foundry Takes a Retrospective Look at Metroid Prime

i luv these df retro videos. in this one, they show footage of an emulator with graphical enhancements and the huge difference it makes while using the same assets. but the nintendo policy is always 'to provide the original gaming experience' which is a euphemism for 'we cannot be bothered to enhance it in any way'. even my vita can add texture filtering to old games, but nintendo, sheesh.

Re: Upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog Movie Gets a New Executive Producer

Jamotello

the first superhero movie that broke their own curse was blade. the one that took it to the next level was iron-man. what video games need is a movie with the bad-asterisk of wesley snipes' blade, and/or the humor of robert downey jr's iron-man. mortal kombat had both, that's why i remember enjoying it. i don't remember sonic having either. i don't even know of a sonic story, to begin with. good luck to them! having said that, i am totally down with a bayonetta live action movie.

Re: Nintendo Switch to Reportedly Include 4GB of RAM

Jamotello

@DanteSolablood @samuelvictor the switch seems to be fulfilling promises that the wii u never kept. one of those expectations was that it's 32gb was flash ram instead of internal storage. that's a pretty elegant solution, in addtion to being much cheaper than ram, and much lower power consumption. so 4gb on the die, then maybe 32gb on a local bus. then again, that's bleeding edge so it's not likely.
