Physical is dying, because platforms force users to move to this platform by releasing a digital only platform.
it is the reason why entertainment as whole is dying. music, movies, tv you name it.
imo it is basicly a unforseen scenario for platforms like playstation and xbox to become extinct.
this whole package:
digital only
no more exclusives because sharing with PC, closing studios.
Gamepass, playstation plus.
is killing for a console. both microsoft and sony never thougjt about long term bad scenarios.
they changed the consumer in a bad way, their platform has become future inrelevant.
Nintendo did think in a long term scenario.
their online platform is simple and not too focused on digital only. I think they fight for bestof both world to the end, because it is better to have 2-ways to sell games than just one. and i also think digital purchases from the nintendo online store will be suported for a long time.
Because nintendo not specific focus on hardware and OS but on games.
how things will enfold remains to be seen for both MS and Sony, but i think we lost these guys to the console industry, because they forgot the basics and only think of short time profit.
i hold my heart for all these beautiful game studios that made so many epic exclusives.
so what will be gaming like in the future then?
i think consoles will turn into hybrid forms, not only because of hardware expenses but simply because handhelds in common are getting more popular concept (see sbc)
i fully believe you cannot beat nintendo in this market, no matter what weapon you trow at them.
Valves steam console is never going to compete. Simply wishfull utopean thinking of pc gamers, spreading all these selfclaimed prophecies.
to get into this competition you need complete dedicate controll of manufacturing and probably a couple of billions of dollars for logistics either. i would advise you to look at the documentary the story of xbox and how much of a landmass microft had to move to get into it.
we also have to realize that the console section has alot of casual gamers, people who do not even know steam but they do known nintendo and playstation (like parents)
man, the switch 2 is pickingup the pace, it is llike a diesel enigine, once it is running it can't be ***** off. where does this all end you guys think? another 150 million hitter?
it is absolute crushing competition!
Again i have no regret buying a switch again.
still i think this sw2 pricehike is less problematic then ps5 and xbox. nintendo try to compensate amd divide costs over some regions. in japan the console itself is way less expensive.
played and finished the ps5 version, might as well pick this one up too, just for building my nsw2 collection.
funny thing is i somehow seem to enjoy nsw2 versions better, because of the surprice element everytlme.
you always seem know what expect from ps5, with nsw2 everytime it is just like "wow".
this has a personal value for me.
you cannot realy compare the sw2 version with ps5 pc or xbox series x, but it is exactly this what i like most, it is a dedicated version of the game, i always have liked this since the eighties and home computers versions of games.
dedicated is good.
Who cares about ps4 and ps5 version. stop this non logic thinking. rebirth is a dedicated hybrid handheld version, period!!
you realy would not care if you only have a sw2, and you would probably buy the ps5 version when you have both options, still NOBODY care in any situation. these comparisson are there for haters or tech junkies rather then real gamers.
if it is not playable, i would agree to critisize the game, but why ps4 or ps5 in every sw2 review
stop this NO stop it.
like the good old days in gaming.free demo's always have affect on sales😎 in the past we had them with magazines. every game should have a great demo with a savefile.
I realy enjoyed the demo of the switch version, soon gonna pick this game up when i have budget
@Sindayl
that is what i ment.
native upscale by dlss from a low resolution video source.
but why are we even bother by all this. just enjoy your games rather then keeping busy with other non comparinle platforms, this should not be the main entertainment.
tbf
i have an ps5 also, i just dont use sw2 for games like pragmata. i have choice, if you do only own sw2 you would not even care about ps5 quality.. what i looking forward to are those games rhat are perfect for handheld as well mot open world 3d games. but games like diablo for instanc, then my main platform would be sw2
the switch 2 seem to be handle 120fps 4k in dock mode via upscaling. you do not basicly need 120fps native 4k on 2.1 hdmi. the source is very low on sw2. dlss is simply amzing.
It is an amazing and unique piece of technology just for that. that is why i do not realy tale DF comparissons between ps5/xboxSx serious.
these vids are here for entertainment amd fanboys.
why even compare. compare between ps5 and xbox series S make more sense.
things like this is giving DF a negative platform and keep mainyain the negative vibe about gaming. sw2 is a hybrid agains a full console and they talk about trees looking more choppy🤷
let unique platforms stay unique platforms. every platform has their charm, rather it is pc gaming, nintendo, playstation or xbox. i don't think anything goes will make these platforms stronger.
also accelt that hardware sales figures of 100 million are utopia. just make the console more profitable and affordable and push alot of games for decent prices.
i think both 3 need to sit togoether and argue about this.
i somehow agree, though remakes are important to keep old titles fresh for future gaming. though i think a 4k remaster would be the max. human eye have limitations so 4k would never look blend 20years into the future.
The reason why there are so many remakes is not only because of cash grab, there is just simply too few time (wich cost money) to create something new from scratch. i expect more remakes from "so called" big developers in the future. there is also the lack of creativity from younger people, in combination of being forced to just their work by investors. there are less rebels and genius youngsters, they are all affraid to lose their job for standing up and bring their ideas to the conpany. wich is something that has formed the last 15 years, you can't blame young people for this. especialy gen Z and gen alpha don't have the ability to think ahead and out of the box, this result in alot of blend content.
Inwould like to see all 2d zelda games become 2d/3d like echos of wisdom and links awakening. though it would be nice to have a slightly different artstyle.
Windwaker is on my top list. 4k 60fps HDR and with companion app. an expanded seachart would be nice. also with more diverse sea loot. such as secret medals lets for discount at beedle boatshop, or just a powerfull sword that breaks to give a wink to botw. WW need to look awesome still dedicated
if it is botw or totk like it would be the first pokemon game i actualy gonna play. never liked the concept and graphics. not a bad game, but sigh so bloody mediocre enviroments.
a huge open world with oceans lakes, mountains towns ould be very welcome, i just want that same feeling. go wherever i want.
the stamina is there to make you realize you are vulnerable in nature, you have to solve situations. why is there stamina? well duh it is there to make you feel proud when you reach a top of a mountain, you discover something new, and ofcourse you get tired of climbing a mountain.the question should be, why do so few games have stamina? especialy open world games.
same for so many koroks. why are their 1000 koroks to be found? it is a question from people who do not like exploring, the koroks are there to discover unknown place all over the map for a more immersive experience.
thing is, you can even achieve goals without using any weapon or gear , just with natures elements. this is what this game stand above other games, each person plays the game different.
as example: i killed a large group of bokoblins with just the power of lightning struck. just grabed a metal weapon, use magnesis to lay this sort in the middle of the group, then the lightning struck the group.
Stamina? i set grass on fire with flint and wood, select my torch an use the hot air to ascend into the air and climb a tall mountain.
just examples how you can solve things with thinking out-of-the-box. allas not everyone van think in solutions.
in many things totk extend this logic thinking, i give you the ability to make airplains with lasers,tanks you name it, but sometimes the solution can be very simple. how many people attach a wooden board to a hook to take a ride? while you can just use only the hook and cling on to it. you even use nearby tree logs😂
I always wonder what kind of gamer dislike botw and totk.
imo it is just a lack of patience and the fact people gave up because they die because they usualy play simple games where you can't die.
a miss if logic and not enjoying gameplay just rushing trough games.
this is one of the best game ever made and all this pure objective from a gamers point of view.
The opinnion are always worse from thise who never spend time on this game.
if you got the funds.
believe me you cannot afford pc anymore in the bear future.
the future is concept consoles, own hardware dedicated software.
xbox dead, playstation dead. we get sony/MS studios software on pc, what value has a additional expensive device next to a pc then?
i would not even exclude ps and xbox software running on nintendo hardware.
sad to think that playstation is also slowly declining.
this said, after 2014 i never bought a xbox anymore and never will in the future.
MS destroyed so many great gamedevelopers, it is simply against my nature about something i love so much, to suport them.
maybe i am overreacting, i let you guys decide, it is an person opinion.
same goes for EA. Any company need money i know, but at least some still care about gamers and the games they make, rather than corporate greed filled with "managers" and so called expendable employees like talent, creativity, and love to make game does not have any value for them. what can i say? i don't think attitude will be future proof. every year same madden, every year same fifa, less effort more money, pushing forward see if they can squees employers, rob comsumers. these companies creat players not gamers wich is harmful for the industry as a whole, it shapes a bad landscape of games and consumers, but it is not the consumers fault.
i am simply against this.
it is not that strange i returned to the 80's basics and buy nintendo products. i realize know nintendo simply make good games, although expensive they still do their own thing and keep console gaming feel like an authentic experience. we need this
i mean what is a playstation or Xbox without dedicated hardware and software? very stupid to bring exclusive titles to pc.
Good luck.
pc/xbox gaming will be a non affordabale hobby in the future, unless you accept to play 2030 games on 2024 hardware on lowest setting.
or you live at mom and dad place till your fourties and have a job.
beside that new hardware will be using energy like you putt on your elektric heater.
new hardware using an additional +500 watt at least, expanding to 1200 watt.
Nintendo need to arrange 128gb gamecards fast. Games need to stay available in the future, when someone manage to get the game and a sw2 console but can't download the game itself. 128gb or better 160gb would cover nextgen physical releases for 8 years ahead.
There must be something why nintendo does not want this. Digital sales?
this is what counts. I like the fact we can now play on a device that have best of all worlds.
nextgen titles+nintendo exclusives+ almost any indie game, hell, even shovelware huuuu.
this is not to say about the playstation 5 at this moment.
even though the ps5 pro is way more powerful then sw2 let there be misunderstanding about this, but sony is jealous about this at this moment, what nintendo now have in hand, used to be playstation .
nintendo is marketleader or will become marketleader again, evethough console gaming is becoming less popular, nintendo is keeping it alive somehow.
why can't we simply accept that the ps5 and switch 2 are totaly different devices. these comparison, it seems like a new vorm of entertainment. hell they even bring in ps5 pro the most power console😂
Realy lack of intelligence. if they compare ps5 and xbox series X i would say ok, but look at the sw2 it is a handheld, and we complain about details of haircuts hair and lower resolution objects. wel duhh
I am realy interested in the latest xeno blade wich came out last year i believe X?.
Been able to play all xeno game on switch one and found the latest game the most apealing in terms of graphic style. the others somehow did not kept me hooked.
but then my switch broke down after 3 hours of gameplay in X.
what i find very important of graphics is everything about how great the story is. i like emotion in games. is xenoblade recommended for this?
the story itself kicked of just right. imo i instant live the caracters and their background in combination of warfare wich made them brother in arms.
but is the 100h gameplay worth it, does it not get into slob?
Why? it is not only for spec freaks, but to give people the oportunity to like a game, rather to let them spend 70,- (as example) then hate and downvote on internet. now we have to judge a game based in YT footage or screenshots.
it is not the comsumer a developer want.
futhermore i want nintendo to divide the sw1 section and sw2 section. there need to be a switch 2 shop, with a note and link that the sw1 version is compatible but with downgrade only or with upgrade.
The nintendo eshop is a mess imo.
Sorry it was not my intention to rant, it is just that almost everybody complains about the high price of goods nowadays not knowing why it is expensive. I realy hate herd behaviour, when 80% of people label it expensive cause influencers labeled it expensive. Again it is not an expensive device for where it is with technology at in this market.
Even SBC people on reddit find sw2 expensive, and brag how great konkr and odin can run emulation, but we are looking at 30 to 20fps in snap dragon gen 3 with framedrops in tears of the kingdom(cliff jump) and the emulated version does not even look that good as sw2 version, it look good because of oled.
It is basicly the pricetag wich downvote sw2 but ignore facts. for our insight, a Sd 8 elite version of a sbc handheld with 12/16gb ram is almost 700,-
wich can only be able hit totk at 40fps stable, although it is emulation and switch 2 has dlss, totk on switch has solid 60fps without complicated processes.
I hope you guys read this and least consider why sw2 is 499,- don't let yourself manipulated by sour youtube vids from influencers that gain subscibers because hate get you subscribers. do research yourself😊
Also my excuse for being so direct. Your reply is social and more intelligent that my rant. apreciate that👊🏻 also apreciate that you took time read my reply.
i like that they use AI for sir david attenborough voice. sir Attenborough is almost 100yo we need to preserve his calm voice and experience for documentaries in the future.
i am not totaly hate AI, but it scare me that people find AI verdict the absolute truth and shrink people logical part of the brain(it is declining acording to university teachers) You also need to find answers yourself to not become shortsighted and lose empathy. it is good to keep thinking out-of-the-box.
based on what i see in the trailer it looks like boring AI created slob to me. Probably a nice strolling game if you are sound sensitive. Well these "games" need to be here also.
i am deep into handheld technology, if you consider how powerfull the sw2 is conpare to SBC handhelds like odin 3 and konkr elite wich are running on snapdragon 8 elite and cost like
470,- and are weaker then switch 2 with smaller screen (oled though) and we talk about devices that are niche, the switch 2 is basicly cheap and truly nextgen in the handheld sector.
it feels like the sw2 is up there with how ps2 and xbox origin where launched. just basicly the vest technology at hand.
the n64 would have been 399,- backnin the nineties if it had cd technology. it would have needed a faster vram. they basicly compensate this with more expensive cardridges wich had worse deals then games on cd.
the wii was the bigest goldpot, thing looked state of the art but was basicly a gamecube engine people said like 4x times more powerfull.
wii probably estimated 50,- to manufacture.
just old out of production ATI cpu chips, bought by nintendo to pat and matt a new cknsole together.
To be complete objective about the whole pricetag of sw2, it is basicly the first nintendo console after snes that aim at the high end market. you might not notice this because our mindset is nintendo produce cheap consoles and sell for high price. but the sw2 has way less profit for nintendo them sw1 and most other consoles from the past. they pribably earn money on a cheaper screen, and lame ass cheap battery, and high price software with low cost small storage cardridges(don't wait for bigger cardridges), that is their triforce this time.
but their engine is a monster with or without dlss. i know this because i follow
SBC devices close.
when you jailbreak a switch 2 it would be a emulator beast, if it get driver suport. i mean an handheld with dlss available for emulation.
it will go viral when emilator gameplay is being shared. Not very valuable for me though, but do not underestimate the userbase of the JB scene.
it is a premium nvidia handheld device, highend. period. no offence, but if you only complain about the price not knowing about latest technology and what all this cost, you are just simply sum up shortsighted nonsense comparissons based only on pricetags.
i realy like the first 3d rayman on Ps2.(dc was ok too) and the legends/origin games basicly on all platforms.
and that is basicly that.
I am not expecting anything creative from the employers who turned into soldiers anytime soon. the company need to shrink and have to form a healthy small fun enviroment where creativity has room again amongst staff.
They miss calculated how important their mascotts are wich lay the foundation of the company, you can't trow games as prince of persia and rayman in the trashcan for microtransaction generic corporate greed.
Indie developers actualy show the result what you be able to achieve when you let a strong bound group of talented people create something. indie developers are basicly working like back in the 90's up to 2004.
It is been a outstanding experience so far. i own a lg oled c9 and almost any old game on 30 FPS pretty much suck, i don't kbow how they pull it off to make this the first 30fps game experience i actualy enjoy.
for this a 10 out of 10.
i also want to say, that i am realy annoyed about the lack of logic of people nowadays. why they compare this game on sw2 hardware with the ps5 version!? are people stupid or is it simply try to find fun in bully developers and sytems they hate? it os simply fraud not relevant info.
first launch game, and this game already exceed max cardridge space. so stupid by nintendo. come on nintendo 160gb cardridges nintendo!! don't act like it is expensive, it is not. you want to earn money in online
ya'll never gonna own a physical game that's for sure.
i don't even know the guy, why would i follow him on X?
i happen to know and love banjo.
what is wrong with all these shortsighted executives nowadays. they lost all their vision and hooked in computer stats.
what a poor turd generation of leaders we have, so fk dumb.
i agree with him, that the lack of humor and enthousiasme in a team is very important.
but does he even know his team, he rather looks at twitter folowers to come to a verdict👎👎👎
very poor managment.
@Dm9982 "Some of their titles are truly great, but I can’t really think of one in the past 5-10 years they wasn’t at least a 7/10, which to me is $20-40 value range depending on size and scope."
i'll will wait for 1 year before buying the nintendo switch 2.
want to be able to choose a game from a decent backlog just like i did with switch (bought in 2018)
thing i hate about buying frontrow, is that you buy games you actualy do not want to own, because of drought.
the changes are that you only spend money on ports and remakes.
4k 1440p 60fps HDR is basicly how i prefer to play on ps5 on performance mode.
imo it should be the standard for gaming nowadays.
the 120fps 4k mode feels not realy like a big deal for me on ps5(it looks sick with racing games though) so the switch 2 has some great specs for how inthink most of us like to play games on consoles.

xbox dead, playstation dead. we get sony/MS studios software on pc, what value has a additional expensive device next to a pc then?
i would not even exclude ps and xbox software running on nintendo hardware.
sad to think that playstation is also slowly declining.
Re: Xbox Announces Next Generation Console, Will Play "Xbox And PC Games"
Why is there XBox news on nintendolife🤷
this said, after 2014 i never bought a xbox anymore and never will in the future.
MS destroyed so many great gamedevelopers, it is simply against my nature about something i love so much, to suport them.
maybe i am overreacting, i let you guys decide, it is an person opinion.
same goes for EA. Any company need money i know, but at least some still care about gamers and the games they make, rather than corporate greed filled with "managers" and so called expendable employees like talent, creativity, and love to make game does not have any value for them. what can i say? i don't think attitude will be future proof. every year same madden, every year same fifa, less effort more money, pushing forward see if they can squees employers, rob comsumers. these companies creat players not gamers wich is harmful for the industry as a whole, it shapes a bad landscape of games and consumers, but it is not the consumers fault.
i am simply against this.
it is not that strange i returned to the 80's basics and buy nintendo products. i realize know nintendo simply make good games, although expensive they still do their own thing and keep console gaming feel like an authentic experience. we need this
i mean what is a playstation or Xbox without dedicated hardware and software? very stupid to bring exclusive titles to pc.
Re: Xbox Announces Next Generation Console, Will Play "Xbox And PC Games"
Good luck.
pc/xbox gaming will be a non affordabale hobby in the future, unless you accept to play 2030 games on 2024 hardware on lowest setting.
or you live at mom and dad place till your fourties and have a job.
beside that new hardware will be using energy like you putt on your elektric heater.
new hardware using an additional +500 watt at least, expanding to 1200 watt.
It is no fun anymore
Re: Review: Resident Evil Requiem (Switch 2) - Action And Horror Combine In A Series Highlight
Nintendo need to arrange 128gb gamecards fast. Games need to stay available in the future, when someone manage to get the game and a sw2 console but can't download the game itself.
128gb or better 160gb would cover nextgen physical releases for 8 years ahead.
There must be something why nintendo does not want this. Digital sales?

Re: Video: Resident Evil Requiem Side-By-Side Comparison (Switch 2 & PS5 Pro)
@zeldaislegend
this is what counts. I like the fact we can now play on a device that have best of all worlds.
nextgen titles+nintendo exclusives+ almost any indie game, hell, even shovelware huuuu.
this is not to say about the playstation 5 at this moment.
even though the ps5 pro is way more powerful then sw2 let there be misunderstanding about this, but sony is jealous about this at this moment, what nintendo now have in hand, used to be playstation .
nintendo is marketleader or will become marketleader again, evethough console gaming is becoming less popular, nintendo is keeping it alive somehow.
Re: Video: Resident Evil Requiem Side-By-Side Comparison (Switch 2 & PS5 Pro)
why can't we simply accept that the ps5 and switch 2 are totaly different devices. these comparison, it seems like a new vorm of entertainment. hell they even bring in ps5 pro the most power console😂
Realy lack of intelligence. if they compare ps5 and xbox series X i would say ok, but look at the sw2 it is a handheld, and we complain about details of haircuts hair and lower resolution objects. wel duhh

people should have more patience. why so -over-dramatic all of the time. this will he fixed.
Re: Fans Are Asking Nintendo To Refund Xenoblade Chronicles X's Switch 2 Upgrade
I am realy interested in the latest xeno blade wich came out last year i believe X?.
Been able to play all xeno game on switch one and found the latest game the most apealing in terms of graphic style. the others somehow did not kept me hooked.
but then my switch broke down after 3 hours of gameplay in X.
what i find very important of graphics is everything about how great the story is. i like emotion in games. is xenoblade recommended for this?
the story itself kicked of just right. imo i instant live the caracters and their background in combination of warfare wich made them brother in arms.
but is the 100h gameplay worth it, does it not get into slob?
Re: DOOM's Compatibility Issue On Switch 2 Has Been Resolved
all games need a demo, it is as simple as that.
Why? it is not only for spec freaks, but to give people the oportunity to like a game, rather to let them spend 70,- (as example) then hate and downvote on internet. now we have to judge a game based in YT footage or screenshots.
it is not the comsumer a developer want.
futhermore i want nintendo to divide the sw1 section and sw2 section. there need to be a switch 2 shop, with a note and link that the sw1 version is compatible but with downgrade only or with upgrade.
The nintendo eshop is a mess imo.
Re: Nintendo Is Considering A Switch 2 Price Hike This Year, According To New Report
@The_Nintendo_Expat
Sorry it was not my intention to rant, it is just that almost everybody complains about the high price of goods nowadays not knowing why it is expensive. I realy hate herd behaviour, when 80% of people label it expensive cause influencers labeled it expensive. Again it is not an expensive device for where it is with technology at in this market.
Even SBC people on reddit find sw2 expensive, and brag how great konkr and odin can run emulation, but we are looking at 30 to 20fps in snap dragon gen 3 with framedrops in tears of the kingdom(cliff jump) and the emulated version does not even look that good as sw2 version, it look good because of oled.
It is basicly the pricetag wich downvote sw2 but ignore facts. for our insight, a Sd 8 elite version of a sbc handheld with 12/16gb ram is almost 700,-
wich can only be able hit totk at 40fps stable, although it is emulation and switch 2 has dlss, totk on switch has solid 60fps without complicated processes.
I hope you guys read this and least consider why sw2 is 499,- don't let yourself manipulated by sour youtube vids from influencers that gain subscibers because hate get you subscribers. do research yourself😊
Also my excuse for being so direct. Your reply is social and more intelligent that my rant. apreciate that👊🏻 also apreciate that you took time read my reply.

i like that they use AI for sir david attenborough voice.
sir Attenborough is almost 100yo we need to preserve his calm voice and experience for documentaries in the future.

@Bobbie_G
i am not totaly hate AI, but it scare me that people find AI verdict the absolute truth and shrink people logical part of the brain(it is declining acording to university teachers)
You also need to find answers yourself to not become shortsighted and lose empathy.
it is good to keep thinking out-of-the-box.
Re: Viral Hit 'POOLS' Surfaces On Switch Next Week
based on what i see in the trailer
it looks like boring AI created slob to me.
Probably a nice strolling game if you are sound sensitive. Well these "games" need to be here also.
Re: Nintendo Is Considering A Switch 2 Price Hike This Year, According To New Report
@The_Nintendo_Expat
you cannot compare this way.
i am deep into handheld technology, if you consider how powerfull the sw2 is conpare to SBC handhelds like odin 3 and konkr elite wich are running on snapdragon 8 elite and cost like
470,- and are weaker then switch 2 with smaller screen (oled though) and we talk about devices that are niche, the switch 2 is basicly cheap and truly nextgen in the handheld sector.
it feels like the sw2 is up there with how ps2 and xbox origin where launched. just basicly the vest technology at hand.
the n64 would have been 399,- backnin the nineties if it had cd technology. it would have needed a faster vram. they basicly compensate this with more expensive cardridges wich had worse deals then games on cd.
the wii was the bigest goldpot, thing looked state of the art but was basicly a gamecube engine people said like 4x times more powerfull.
wii probably estimated 50,- to manufacture.
just old out of production ATI cpu chips, bought by nintendo to pat and matt a new cknsole together.
To be complete objective about the whole pricetag of sw2, it is basicly the first nintendo console after snes that aim at the high end market. you might not notice this because our mindset is nintendo produce cheap consoles and sell for high price. but the sw2 has way less profit for nintendo them sw1 and most other consoles from the past. they pribably earn money on a cheaper screen, and lame ass cheap battery, and high price software with low cost small storage cardridges(don't wait for bigger cardridges), that is their triforce this time.
but their engine is a monster with or without dlss. i know this because i follow
SBC devices close.
when you jailbreak a switch 2 it would be a emulator beast, if it get driver suport. i mean an handheld with dlss available for emulation.
it will go viral when emilator gameplay is being shared. Not very valuable for me though, but do not underestimate the userbase of the JB scene.
it is a premium nvidia handheld device, highend. period. no offence, but if you only complain about the price not knowing about latest technology and what all this cost, you are just simply sum up shortsighted nonsense comparissons based only on pricetags.
Re: Surprise! Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition Has Been Rated
i never liked this game tbf
i realy like the first 3d rayman on Ps2.(dc was ok too)
and the legends/origin games basicly on all platforms.
and that is basicly that.
I am not expecting anything creative from the employers who turned into soldiers anytime soon.
the company need to shrink and have to form a healthy small fun enviroment where creativity has room again amongst staff.
They miss calculated how important their mascotts are wich lay the foundation of the company, you can't trow games as prince of persia and rayman in the trashcan for microtransaction generic corporate greed.
Indie developers actualy show the result what you be able to achieve when you let a strong bound group of talented people create something. indie developers are basicly working like back in the 90's up to 2004.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade?
It is been a outstanding experience so far.
i own a lg oled c9 and almost any old game on 30 FPS pretty much suck, i don't kbow how they pull it off to make this the first 30fps game experience i actualy enjoy.
for this a 10 out of 10.
i also want to say, that i am realy annoyed about the lack of logic of people nowadays.
why they compare this game on sw2 hardware with the ps5 version!?
are people stupid or is it simply try to find fun in bully developers and sytems they hate? it os simply fraud not relevant info.
Re: Nintendo Appears To Have Updated Mario Kart World's Switch 2 File Size

what is wrong with all these shortsighted executives nowadays. they lost all their vision and hooked in computer stats.
what a poor turd generation of leaders we have, so fk dumb.
i agree with him, that the lack of humor and enthousiasme in a team is very important.

very poor managment.
Re: The Company That "Leaked" Switch 2 Is Being Sued By Nintendo
You can't stop water from flowing, when you accidently have caused a leak in your own bucket.
this case will be ceased and closed, because there is no restriction on paper.
Not saying what Genki did was polite, but it is caused by nintendo.
Re: Opinion: Switch 2 Finally Gives Star Wars Outlaws A Second Chance
@Edu23XWiiU
Most star wars games suck in my opinnion.
These games are fun for the fans.
i have player most of them, i only like the games on gamecube such as roque squadron.
though i would give a game with the mandalorian certainly a go.
Re: Opinion: Switch 2 Finally Gives Star Wars Outlaws A Second Chance
@Dm9982
"Some of their titles are truly great, but I can’t really think of one in the past 5-10 years they wasn’t at least a 7/10, which to me is $20-40 value range depending on size and scope."
rayman legends and origins where at least a 8,5
Re: Poll: Which Switch 2 Accessories Are You Picking Up At Launch?
i'll will wait for 1 year before buying the nintendo switch 2.
want to be able to choose a game from a decent backlog just like i did with switch (bought in 2018)
thing i hate about buying frontrow, is that you buy games you actualy do not want to own, because of drought.
the changes are that you only spend money on ports and remakes.
Re: Fast Fusion's Switch 2 Performance And Resolution Detailed
4k 1440p 60fps HDR is basicly how i prefer to play on ps5 on performance mode.
imo it should be the standard for gaming nowadays.
the 120fps 4k mode feels not realy like a big deal for me on ps5(it looks sick with racing games though) so the switch 2 has some great specs for how inthink most of us like to play games on consoles.
