A video with 30 fps is telling…

Now we just need a native version of Rise for Switch 2. It runs great on PS4 and could attract people who want to play MH on the go with nice visuals and smooth performance, like me.

To celebrate the launch of the main game, Sega could just launch the DLC on the same day, integrated into the main game, without extra costs. Crazy, I know…

@jojobar

I‘m working in R&D and not in engineering, so I don’t have your insight, and I totally believe in what you say. My impression about current AI progression is the same as yours, these models don’t seem to be the right basis to achieve AGI, if that is ever possible. But hey, usable LLMs are still less than 3 (!) years old, and there is so much time, technological and financial potential. Tell me one modern technology of the complexity of AI which was mature after 3 years. Between sending the first email in the world and finding „friends“ on Tinder with a swipe took much longer than 3 years.

In my profession, crawling through millions of scientific papers has never been this easy. Now you can find the hidden gems which never received the attention they deserve, just because the authors were not famous or the title was awkward. Students without much of coding experience can create stunning tools within a few days. AI is probably not that useful to make a good coder a very good one, but to make a bad coder a mediocre one, and in many cases that’s what is needed.

For game development, I think the big potential for AI is neither graphics nor world building, but helping to make a complex story or world system to make consistent. To make the story and interactions consistent in Baldur‘s Gate 3 was probably a painful task. AI will probably help you to manage this complexity. And AI could make NPC behaviour much more believable: In 20 years, people could look at Cyberpunk 2077 and wonder how we could enjoy this city with these dump puppets walking and sitting around.

Well, the first usable LLM was made public in November 2022, less than 3 years ago! This technology is still in its infancy and has several decades to become good, so don’t judge it based on today’s quality.

Many people around me start realising how useful it already can be to reduce annoying manual work and begin to adopt their workflow. As much as it is about technology, it’s about processes. Just give those people time to learn how to use AI for their own benefit.

@AccessibleDaydream

For playing MCC on the go, Xbox has you covered.

They must use an expensive 64 GB cartridge for a game with (presumably) a fraction of required space. And still a day-one patch is needed. What a tragedy.

Demon King, Secret Stone??

Using AI is okay for me, because I don’t expect anything else than kitsch. And kitsch is what 90% of new games out there are, and there are millions of people happy with them (I don’t play this sh*te).

But, please, don’t use the term „opening new creative frontiers“ in context of AI. That‘s a poor lie.

The attach rate of 25% for Z-A on Switch 2 is crazy.

Signs and wonders!

After these long shows, I‘ve got the feeling there are no secrets about this game anymore. If somebody tells you every detail of their life in the first three dates, in most cases you quickly loose interest in that person. Let’s see how this will turn out!

Space Marine II has WAY to higher CPU demands for Switch 2. A stable 30 fps is - based on the current code - just infeasible. This game runs so badly on PS5 and Xbox Series X, I wouldn’t touch it there.

Oh no, Ubi learnt from Sony! They are great in timing their Ubi-formula games, like Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West.

The moment I saw this abomination of Japanese cover, I knew that the NintendoLife community will let it win by a mile.

@MTMike87 Yet another Arlo video is in the making right now (I assume).

No, I played Galaxy 1 and 2 on Wii and was annoyed by the pointer controls in Galaxy 1 in 3D All-Stars. While pointer controls are not very important in Galaxy 1, they are crucial in Galaxy 2 for controlling Yoshi under time pressure, especially in the late- and post-game.

Because of that, I always found it reasonable to exclude Galaxy 2 from 3D All-Stars.

I want Ultra-First-Person aka PSVR2

Why this fixation on fixed framerates?

There is something called VRR. I know, this game is most likely CPU limited, which can create wild frametimes. But with a framerate limiter of 40 fps, the occurrence of wild frametimes could be reduced.

40 fps looks SO MUCH BETTER than 30 fps!

@yoyoyoyoyoyoyoyo Your hair looks great.

Maybe I‘m wrong, but this looks like a framerate of more than 30 fps to me. Probably 40 fps or unlocked with VRR. Very nice surprise! But it doesn’t mean that the framerate holds up in more open and complex environments. We will see.

These poll results look a lot like wishful thinking to me.

The game ran with unlocked frame rate on Gamescom, according to reports, with values between 45 and 60 fps. Would still be much better than 30 fps imo, especially in handheld with VRR enabled.

30 fps is a bad joke. Don’t they play their own games?

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe still fighting. I make the prediction that it’ll be regarded as the best MK entry ever, no superfluous open world, just 96 narrow tracks demanding great drifting skills. And the online scene will still be vivid in 10 years!

@Markiemania95 Yoshi‘s Island will always remain a Super Mario title for me, the pinnacle of platforming, one of the best games.

@Markiemania95 SMW2 is called Sūpā Mario: Yosshī Airando in Japanese. That’s not less Super Mario than Sūpā Mario Ran.

Super Mario World 2 not being on this list while Super Mario Run being is heartbreaking to me.

This is a long list of bugfixes. Did they need the feedback in gaming forums? Or was the game just unfinished on release?

@NotASockPuppet I think that Yalloo has a point. Gaming is just a hobby, and there are much cheaper ones. For addicts, their stuff will always be too expensive.

Here are many fans of this commercial, I find it cringe and off-putting. And if this resembles the Sega of old days, I‘m not surprised that the Dreamcast was their last hurrah.

Dear Nintendo Life,

I‘d find it very useful if you would sort these announcements in the order of release date. This would help me to get a better understanding of what to expect for the next couple of months. Thank you!

@Orwellian87 „Nobody should buy these.“ You know that there are enough people out there who will order these the second when they can click „Buy now“. In most cases, Nintendo knows EXACTLY what prices it can demand!

Final Fantasy is finally coming to its modern home. The Japanese market for these games should be huge, and so are the numbers of Switch units there.

@NintendoWife Developer will most likely be Good-Feel, who also made Woolly World and Crafted World. If it’s in-house, then maybe Next Level Games.

@RupeeClock This 50 Hz reminder is very helpful!

@rjejr The cardboard VB looks very much like the Labo VR kit, but with the option to house the bigger Switch 2.

I will save some money and use my Labo VR kit.

Similar DLCs for God of War Ragnarök and Returnal were for free.

The quality in this video is much better than in the Nintendo stream. Still hair rendering and shadow resolution are looking poor, and 30 fps (of course).

I find Millibelle the Banker from the first game funnier and more clever, because you can benefit many hours later. Here? Just destructive.

Give me The Talos Principle 2. I‘ve played it on PS5 (and it’s fantastic!), but haven’t played the DLC.

Look at the comments and the commenters‘ thumbnails. Is there a pattern

„cute anime character = we need easy mode“?

@ROMhaiku I find you explanation interesting and insightful. But what is the consequence? That games which appeal with their presentation to a big audience must also appeal to this audience’s wishes for easy accessibility? Or that niche games shouldn’t have a mass appealing presentation? I don’t think so.

There are films and books which are easy to watch/read but hard to understand and appreciate. And they also have their reasons to exist.

@Oldstalk Or people could wait for reviews. I haven’t bought it yet, my backlog is long enough, patches will iron out unbalanced difficulty spikes, and there is the chance for a physical release.

Hype is always a bad advisor!

@Oldstalk What did you expect, knowing the first game? Or did you preorder without knowing it? Or is it fomo to play a game „everyone“ plays, but it’s not somebody’s cup of tea?

A high difficulty is part of the art, you should self-reflect and find out more about yourself. And for that, knowing that there is no option to easily reduce difficulty is important.

You want options. For nice, harmless entertainment for everyone, there are options, aka other games.

@Dpishere Price is crucial for me. This is a Ubi game, they become dirt cheap after a couple of months AND technically improved.

I repeat myself: Nintendo should offer NS1 cartridges for NS2-only games.

Pro:

• Much cheaper, especially if a small capacity is sufficient

Cons:

• Potentially easily hackable
• Very slow, so installation required (like with PS4/5 games from disc)
• Probably still more expensive than game-key cards

Donkey alone was worth it!

I‘m surprised that this lost doesn’t include a new Horizon game.
