This came out of nowhere for me! Super stoked to have it on my one x and switch. My fav PC fps game of all time and the only game to ever kill a pc for me! ( Melted my crappy old gpu back in the day ). Coming soon for xbone and PS4, sooooo next year for switch then?
Hopefully it happens in NA too. The store sales have been flooded with $1-5 titles for way too long, so here's hoping some decent games get a good discount!
For gods sake. This poo has to stop, Ninty will announce one when they announce one. Where's the surprise and excitement in the world? Everyone wants to know their presents before they unwrap them. Humanity has gone to absolute poo in the last decade. Just live your lives and be happy with what you have!
@raven89 omg one of the best series ever made. My god the dwarven grenades were annoying as hell tho. Used to accidentally wipe my own units due to friendly fire all the time lol
I'm really starting to feel like maybe nobody at Atlus is online. Like, ever. "Let us know". FFS from day one there hasn't been a single switch owner NOT begging Atlus to Port P5.
Hope everyone's having a better Christmas than I'm having got robbed last night while dropping friends at Mass. Went in to pee and trunk was open when I went back out. Farewell to my most ( and only ) prized possession, my brand new switch that I traded my Xbox one x and switch lite for. New year, better choices coming up!
What does this mobile looking garbage have to do with doom in any way? ( the spiritual successor comment ) doom 1 and 2 are timeless and proven masterpieces. This looks like hot ass. And, literally has no connection to doom in any way.
They must be on some good friggen drugs to come up with that price. I dont usually complain about the ridiculously high launch prices of old games, but this is nuts. And by all the footage I've seen it runs like a slideshow. What were they thinking??
Staged or not, this was oddly entertaining, and honestly, I share this guys' enthusiasm. I'd be the same damn way if I was there and able to spend even 5% of what was spent. Some day, Tokyo, some day.
I mean, I thought 6 looked pretty good on my lite. Never played 5 or 6, so pretty excited to play them. Also, why are we being so critical of a free demo, which is not indicative of the final product. Almost 90% of the file size is missing so I'm gonna stay positive. Way less effort goes into a demo for a game.
I'm honestly utterly impressed that a new game is running on the switch as well as this does. Handheld it looks and plays very well. The devs are a small team of wizards to have been able to cram this beast onto my beloved digital companion. Bravo devs, bravo.
I've tried searching all over the net, and tried getting ahold of the devs on Twitter, but there seems no mention of the resolution while handheld. Super excited for this but need to know if it's going to be a blurry mess :s
Been playing the demo the past half hour, it's like Fortnite mixed with For Honor...the controls take a ton of getting used to ( need to be improved badly ) and I keep getting booted from matches just as they begin. Has some promise, but as of right now it's a hard pass for me on the full game.
On a positive note this thread has convinced me to pawn my tv so I can grab a copy on Friday! My brain can only take so much hype before it breaks! Lol
Left this comment thread yesterday, and now having my coffee before work, and getting caught up on it ! Missed some gems ROFL. More entertaining than reading the CNN feed
@TempOr man, I'd love an Apocalypse port. One of my favourite RPGs of all time. Would look awesome in hd as it looked damn good even on the 3ds. The atmosphere was amazing in that game.
Don't know how this originally flew under my radar, it looks charming as hell..... Definately going to wait for performance reviews tho. Got way too excited for tales of vesperia and it didn't run so well. This looks 100x better which worries me.
@Trajan Exactly! If you want the Witcher, play it as it's meant to be played. The collosal downgrade, in my opinion, takes the intended feel away from the game. Don't get me wrong I LOVED the f&$# out of the Witcher 3 on PS4 ( over 120 hrs ) but I don't want it on switch. Nintendo has always had a different feel for me, I have been using Nintendo consoles for over 30 years, because you always new what to expect. But now, people are trying too hard to squeeze their games onto the switch, because it's the new hotness. Instead, it's making the eShop a hot mess of crap ports. Why aren't the good last gen Nintendo games being ported, smt4 and apocalypse, Tokyo mirage, Xenoblade X and the first game, the wonderful 101, monster Hunter stories, ever Oasis, etrian odyssey, these would run flawlessly on switch, and they would still be relevant. Instead we get fuzzed out ports of AAA that run no where near what they were intended to. It takes the soul out of a game. I loved the fire emblem games dearly on 3ds. They ran perfect. Three houses, ( bought yesterday at $84 after gold coins ) honestly looks and runs bad portably. I almost regret buying it, because it feels rushed. Even though it's freaking Fire Emblem. But it's charming as hell and might get improved over time. I'm still sitting on dozens of "good game" ports that were released in unacceptable forms and the devs have publically stated they have no intention of fixing. ( Ark and mutant year zero ). Plus Nintendo having the worst refund policy ever. Goes back to my comment about misleading eShop screenshots. Not everyone is able to watch HD gameplay vids that display a perfect 720-1080p image.
@Damo sorry I kinda got distracted by my own rants lol great review, you have me even more hyped to work off enough to grab a copy in the next few weeks!
@Trajan ok, so by that logic its marked up to a sale price $300 more. The PS4 costs $380-something to manufacture and sells for $399. And it runs stuff quite well for the most part. I think Nintendo is slipping a bit with the switch. I mean I freaking love my switch. Favourite console of all time, so far. Tons of great games. Tons of crap games too ( we shall not speak of a certain child who's best friend is a Rastafarian troll lol ) but people need to let Nintendo know we need that old Ninty style of Quality control we haven't seen since the 3ds backwards. The Wii u was a huge failure and a prime example of false advertising as far as functionality and marketing. The few AAA titles I bought were worth it and ran great. Now heres the more powerful switch, and it can barely handle the majority of 3rd party titles. I'm worried it's just going to become a quick and extra source of income for devs, who just don't want to put in the extra effort to have there games run well, as Platinum games evidentially have.
@Mr_Muscle hence my irritation with the performance of WAY too many switch games lately. It's like handheld is an afterthought of many devs these days. You know the system you are developing for, so why not develope accordingly. Both playstyles SHOULD have identical performance.
@Trajan but see the reality of it is, it really is a $500 console. As a father of 2, and having some pretty heavy disabilities, I had to work my ass off, just to be able to afford the switch. Now, I came from the new 3ds xl and vita, which were both $200 of which I owned nearly all first and third party titles for. Almost every game released that I bought, ran EXACTLY as advertised and expected. The $40-60 price ranges for the games seemed very easy to digest as I got countless hours of enjoyment out of them. The switch is getting TONS of $90 games, which are more often than not, running like 2 week old dog ass, when running handheld. The switch is staggeringly more powerful than a 3ds or vita, and I feel we are being misled, especially by the eShop. Devs and publishers almost never post screenshots of handheld footage, just docked, touched up or from other platforms. I can give several examples of this horrid practice. I use my switch handheld 100% of the time, and just feel there needs to be higher expectations of $90 first and third party game performance in BOTH playstyles. If it can't run as well portable as docked, then devs need to step up their game, no pun intended. Sorry for the long winded rant, I'm sleep deprived and not feeling the best lol
My biggest concern is how blurry is this in handheld mode? Lately it feels like every big game is...I'm not a big graphics snob, but I feel burned on some of the big AAA titles ( Xenoblade, FE:3H and dragon quest ) because of how blurry they can get on my almost $500cad game console
Probably for the rediculous pile of new Switch lite accessories that are being announced all over the net right now, esp exclusives sold through EBgames/GameStop.
Huge fan of the series, and this is an awesome port. Honestly never thought this would end up on switch, glad It did. Obsessed as I am with Monster Hunter I'm actually enjoying this more. Almost as if MH had ADHD and a drug habit lol
Not a big fan of having to pay full retail game price JUST for a dlc pack. Expected this to be maybe $25 Canadian for those of us that owned the base game.
ROFL. Is this game ACTUALLY worth $3 if you're not a sports fan? Only sports games I've ever gotten into were rocket league, bloodbowl 2 and mutant league football...
