There are technically three Ghostbuster movies. And only two if you ask some hardcore fans. I don't know where you got the number four from. This game if I'm not mistaken was supposed to be Ghostbusters 3, just in game form.
The things people are willing to do just to get 15 seconds of fame on the internet never ceases to amaze me. This was a premeditated stunt that cost him his PS4 and in my opinion makes him look extremely childish and mentally unstable.
If EA made games that utilized engines that could easily be scaled up or down, then their games would sale better on the Switch. But they don't. Or better yet, how about instead of porting the 360 version of "insert sports game name here", make a sports game from the ground up specifically for the Switch. There is so much potential money to be made but the higher ups at EA love to make money with the least amount of effort and money spent on their part (yearly sports updates are a perfect example). How about teaming up with Nintendo for a new NBA Street (or NFL, NHL, MLB FIFA) game and add an exclusive team(s) made entirely of Nintendo characters. I guarentee that would fly off of store shelves and put to rest this notion that EA games won't sell on the Switch.
I have a copy of this game on my PC and I can't get myself to play it. Why you ask. Because the characters look ridiculously stupid looking. I know, I know. Don't judge a book by its cover.
It took a class action lawsuit for Nintendo to acknowledge the problem...that's sad considering that out of the companies that still make consoles, Nintendo's QA in my opinion is leagues ahead of both Microsoft and Sony. And I say that as a gamer who has purchased almost every single system released since my parents bought me an NES back in 88. The only company that has a track record as good as Nintendo's is Sega but they are out of the hardware game. Hopefully Nintendo does the right thing here. I have yet to experience the dreaded joycon drift but honestly we only use the joycons in our home when the entire family (of 4) is playing something together and one person gets stuck with a pair which we have two pairs of joycons. Eventually I'll experience the drift.
@geox30 Yup. Valve and Epic have both figured out easier ways to generate cash with the least amount of expense to them. Valve obviously has Steam and Epic has the Unreal Engine and now their own storefront. And Fortnite which I can't wait to see go away.
Would be nice if more developers focused on pushing the boundaries with AI in games, especially with today's hardware. The graphics are good enough already. The only thing left for them to improve on is allowing players to completely destroy environments.
That's fantastic news. Nintendo needs to figure out how to include a bigger battery first and foremost, especially if they are making any upgrades to the CPU, GPU and/or RAM. And cooling will be an issue as well. We don't need the battery exploding like the Samsung Note from a few years back.
By the time 5G becomes the standard, the Switch 2 will be out. I still remember being a Sprint customer in the US and paying a monthly 4G fee on my phone bill for 2, maybe even 3 years before I was finally in a city that supported it.
"Attacks now feel more forceful thanks to additional sound effects"
But did they fix the weak sound? I never felt like I was piloting a mech that could rain destruction down on its enemies because you don't feel any impact when shooting at stuff. The combat felt dull and that's just sad.
I played this last night with my 9 year old daughter and it was a blast. She absolutely loved the game and we both found ourselves picking the expert track over and over again. I can't recommend this enough to anyone who is a fan of simpler and yet accurate (for its time) arcade racer.
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS! No thanks. My N64 and games will continue to collect dust in my garage. I would spend $150 on a used CRT TV before considering spending that much to play a legacy console on a modern TV. If TV companies were smart they would make HD TV's with this tech built in and market these TV'S to retro gamers. Easy money.
@The-Chosen-one Sure is. I imported the second one from Europe. Played that to completion over a weekend while being sick with bronchitis and highly medicated and it still ranks up there in my top 5 video game experiences.
What's Star Wars? Seriously I could care less but I can see how fans would get excited over this. If they rereleased good Star Wars games (for example the ones that were released for the Gamecube) then I would get excited. These games are no bueno. Getting excited over this is the equivalent of getting excited over a rerelease of the poorly made Transformers Famicom game.
@N8tiveT3ch That's exactly what I thought. Well I thought more of Transformers Headmasters but same thing. As if he could just jump out and there would just be a huge set of armor with no head which would explain why his head is so disproportionate to the rest of his body.
I will wait for reviews and a patch or three. I keep reading that the combat is "janky" and that doesn't sound like being on the same level as Castlevania SOTN to me at all.
Nope. I will wait until the physical release. Forty dollars for a digital download of 3 very old games is too much. At least with the physical cart I can blame the "Switch tax" and somewhat justify that price.
I really like the look but it's hard to judge something like this fairly until it's in you hands. I will say this though, if Hori took this design and added the missing features such as rumble, nfc, a battery and allowed you to join both parts to make a controller you can use in dock and tabletop mode...that I would buy.
If tSega had added Crusader of Centy, I would have given up on complaining about the inclusion of the 3 button pad but Sega didn't and instead gave us Virtua Fighter 2....what a cruel joke.
But has Nintendo addressed the games low tick rate? Probably not. It's sad since I enjoyed the game but I eventually got fed up with people using sub par internet to take advantage and cheat their way to wins.
From what I've read so far, this game is not as polished or as fun as Transformed which is a bummer but I still want to support them. It's sold for $40 which goes to show you that they knew the game wasn't as good or/doesn't have enough content to justify the full retail price of $60 that most new games command and they gave micro transactions and essentially at release DLC or off disc DLC the middle finger and that needs supporting.
I have a problem with this video comparison and here's why, they compared the Switch version to a version being played on the PS4 Pro. Really? Why not an OG PS4. That's always bothered me even during my PC gaming days. Reviews are already based on someone's personal opinion but when you go out and play the game on top of the line hardware which the majority of folks don't even own, then your review in my opinion is already stacked in the games favor. I still recall my disappointment as a teenager playing PC games using the "recommended" hardware and the game still not living up to the expectations that you receive from reading reviews because those folks would and continue to play these games with PC's that cost several thousands of dollars. Another example, Kinect games on the Xbox 360 when they were reviewed it was in perfect and ideal room environments that most consumers could not replicate, for whatever reason, be it space issues or lighting. Microsoft even did that when presenting Kinect games to the press and public. Red Dead Redemption 2 is a more recent example. From what I've read, heard and personally seen, that game runs like poop when played on OG Xbox One and PS4 hardware and yet a lot of reviewers failed to leave that out of their reviews. Fallout 76 is another. I own two copies. It runs and looks like @ss on my OG Xbox One (playing it off a SSD does help but not much). Night and day difference on my wife's Xbox One X. There is even a significant difference on the Xbox One S (draw distance, frame rate and textures are improved) and yet how many reviewers pointed that out. Wouldn't it be nice if reviewers were more transparent about these things or is it too much to ask for?
Or just buy the controller and emulate the ROMS on your PC. I'm not throwing money at Sega for a mini console with a subpar 3 button pad, and then turn around and throw money at Retrobit to fix Sega's mistake.
I can't look past the way the mechs look. I am not a fan of the deformed (is that the correct term?) anime look. Real shame since it sounds right up my alley.
The WWE 2K series needs to start from scratch with a new developer. Their engine still has DNA (for a lack of a better term) from the PSOne Smackdown games. What happened to the guys and gals who made the N64 games?
