It is good they are working on improvements but the game does really look like a late PS2 game rather than 360/ PS3 game. So there really is no reason the game can't run at a stable framerate of at least 30fps, and also look SIGNIFICANTLY better without that truly awful pop in, than it probably will after the patches.

Also here is an idea for game devs in general: Finish the bloody game before releasing it.

Gamers will eventually lose faith and that will be the source of a potential crash coming to the gaming business. I know I have been close at times to just dropping everything with current gaming and playing retro games instead.

"mature-themed"

As mature as a horny teenage boy ffs.

People can enjoy these games all they want but lets not pretend they are anything other than immature titillation.

@LavaTwilight

Highlight the post and it shows an option to ignore. It is great!

@Matthew010

I just added him to ignore. Solved that issue.

I think Directs are great and I love the no nonsense approach. As someone who owns and loves my PS4 I am very excited to see what Sony have to offer. I really want some more info on TLOU2.

"This has been a common trend for some time now, with Switch versions of certain games often outselling other platforms."

Read this sentence a few times and realise how silly it is.

Naff all. It will bomb.

@JaxonH

I disagree but I guess we will see!

@JaxonH

I still maintain nothing equals "Mario on PS4".

@Octane

No game or franchise is the equivalent of Mario on PS4. I don't even think it was the same rumour. Plus stop listening to rumours.

@Dman10

Lucky you.

I remember this game on 360 actively hurting my eyes at 30fps, it was so much better at 60 fps in the remastered version.

60fps for life!

Castle Crashers has been announced for Switch! Get on that rather than this tripe.

Sorry folks I was in a bit of a mood last night! Don't even know what my point was really as of course stories get reported.

Live and learn!

@Jester151

Just seems to happen an awful lot.

You guys are great at reporting what others have reported.

Pay up then. You are a news site aren't you?

Looks alright that.

@Grumblevolcano

It seems a no brainer at this point.

Said it before and I will say it again, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a beast!

Edit: MK8D is actually second on the individual formats chart. Beast!

Running out of ideas.

@Agramonte

Then ignore it, it does you no harm either way.

@westman98

Yeah that summation was pure bollocks. Poor effort all round Nintendo Life.

It really doesn't need this much scrutiny. The entry price of the starter kit is cheap enough to make it a curiosity without worry about how the entirety of VR will be affected.

@kobashi100

That is fine, but there are others who won't consider games for extremely minor things that DF points out that they otherwise wouldn't even know / notice. And you just have to look at the comments on Eurogamer and youtube to see the absolute plebs that every Digital Foundry video seems to drag out from their caves.

Every game has flaws, as long as they are fun then I am game.

It is an option for people who want to try it, I may be tempted.

For anyone yapping about it....shut up you miserable gits.

Oh Digital Foundry say it is a lot of fun so does that mean I am allowed to enjoy it now?

Digital Foundry releases some interesting videos, their retro pieces are fantastic, but there is almost a level of worship from some people who won't go near a game unless their idol Digital Foundry tells them so.

The idiots are losing out as a result.

@nessisonett

Cheers!

I have Smash and enjoy it but this whole Spirits things is gibberish to me, I really don't understand the point. This is not me slagging it off I really don't get it.

Excellent news. Turok 2 is fantastic it was always just crippled by a truly awful framerate on the N64.

@WiltonRoots

Haha true but I just don't have the patience I once did!

@Mgene15

OK you past the limit of the amount of times I am willing to see the term "fanboy". Onto the ignore list you go.

Good old Phil effectively conceding the console race there. There may be another "proper" Xbox console after this but then that will be it for Microsoft in the console hardware business.

Also Xbox / Microsoft have easily the worst collection of exclusives out of them, Nintendo and Playstation so I really don't think this is going to be as successful as Phil thinks it is. Plus it will have to involve streaming games which is not a way I will play a videogame, and I imagine many other people feel the same.

Dead in the water.

Microsoft never understood the console business.

In the individual formats chart Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is third behind the PS4 and Xbox One Anthem games.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a beast!

@Tibob

I don't even have the game but I tried the Beta and found it very enjoyable. And yes your opinion is worthless.

Edit: On the topic of whether Trials is a good game, not on everything obviously.

@Tibob

So you haven't tried the game and therefore your opinion is worthless.

Nintendo Life being unreasonably negative here methinks as that is a pretty good split all things considered for Trials.

I have lots of Switch and PS4 games in my backlog (practically none on Xbox One which is that console's main problem) but I am currently obsessed with God of War and about to start my third playthrough. I initially wasn't interested but it received such good word of mouth I picked it up when on sale over Xmas. It deserved every Game of the Year award it received. Outstanding.

Some people in the comments can't be arsed to read the article apparently.

I am getting Resident Evil 4 day one. Sorry but it is my one weakness.

Having said that why doesn't Nintendo Life go to Capcom and ask some serious questions about the pricing like a game journalist should do?

So there will be 3 versions of the game on PS4?!

As with all rumour and specualtion, I will just wait and see what happens and keep playing the games that actually exist, and I own, in the meantime.

Time to kick some more arse Kratos and Atreus.

Capcom are taking the mick with £30 for the Resident Evil games.....but I am still gonna buy 4 because I love it so so much.

@Heavyarms55

I honestly don't see how but fair enough.

@Heavyarms55

You imply he isn't also pouring his heart and soul into his work.

I am all for supporting the "little guy" but it isn't up to Nintendo Life to search the internet for random drawings of Nintendo characters and report on it here, I for one would be asking where the real stories are. There are no doubt many websites dedicated to that.

Bottom line is Grassetti has a tie to another videogame which makes this story more relevant for Nintendo life than other artists drawings of Nintendo characters. Also Grassetti has already made it as you said so it isn't like he is getting a one up over anyone else.

@Heavyarms55

When someone worked on the masterpiece that is God of War they deserve to get the credit for it. Also you are missing the point that it is cool that someone who works for Sony is seemingly quite obsessed with a lot of Nintendo characters.

Resident Evil 4 is the best game of all time. No contest! Get in!

@RupeeClock

Yeah this person needs to sort themselves out, there should never be violence over a videogame of all things.

@RupeeClock

I think we misunderstood each other. When you said response I thought you meant the man striking the police officer in the face, but you appear to mean response as in a group of people responding to a rare pokemon showing up.

@RupeeClock

Sounds like you are saying this response is OK if the pokemon is rare enough. I take it you don't mean that.

I had a great time with the beta. It is one of those games perfect for handheld and the graphics and performance were fine to me.
