Re: Embrace Farm Life With This Harvest Moon: One World Limited Edition For Nintendo Switch

SpacedDuck

Wow, I just watched the trailer again and damn does this game look absolutely awful. Look at how lifeless the cows and townsfolk look? It's like the coders said nooope to anything moving other than your character. It's such a shame that the Harvest Moon name is dead now. I know all about the licensing issues but still Natsume bring in a team that has a clue.

Thankfully Story of Seasons Friends of Mineral town was amazing and gave me what I wanted in a Back to Nature style remake.

Re: Lovely Fan Animation Shows Star Fox In The Style Of Paper Mario

Honestly I would but this in a heartbeat as I would a Paper Zelda game.

It looks awesome and this video was very well done.

Star Fox is the one genre Nintendo has to bring back to Switch with a proper well controlled game.

I'd love a massive adventure where many parts are Starfox 64 and then many also go Starfox Adventure's.

Re: Harvest Moon: One World Announced For Nintendo Switch

I hope for the best for this game but Natsume hasn't made a good Harvest Moon in probably over ten years. I'm fully aware that Natsume isn't the true makers of the older games and the entire confusing stupid history of this franchise. Regardless of who owns the rights and used to make them it doesn't change the fact that there hasn't been a good game with Harvest Moon as the name in 10+ years. Hope that changes but I can't see them suddenly caring now.

Re: Go Behind The Scenes Of GoldenEye 007 With This Upcoming Documentary

@Bucky Activision were the last holders who took over after EA. Neither of which made many good Bond games outside of The World is Not Enough which EA made for the N64/PS1.

The third person shooter Everything or Nothing was probably the best post GoldenEye Bond game though.

How the Bond owners messed up after GoldenEye was so well received and didn't give Rare the license is always painful to look back on.

Re: The Switch Is "Teetering On The Brink Of Becoming Outdated", Says The Financial Times

I mean it's true. I think the system has already peaked in terms of what we can expect to see graphically.

When you look at a launch 360 game and compare to one that came out towards the end there's a massive difference. I'm not seeing much advancement on the Switch.

So the console really is outdated now especially when you compare to PS4/XBOX ONE.

Portable is great but Nintendo needs to finally be more powerful or at least just as powerful as everyone else for once.

Re: Skies Of Arcadia Dev "Really" Wants To Make A Sequel

SpacedDuck

The game is really up there with the greats once you play it. The problem is barely anyone has had a chance to experience it.

If this game had come out on PS2 it would likely be considered one of the best RPG's of all time.

Shame games like this, Powerstone, Canon Spike etc all faded away to time from coming out on a console that sadly didn't last long.

Re: God Of War's Art Director Is Now Designing Incredibly Realistic Star Fox Characters

SpacedDuck

Crying shame this franchise isn't given more respect by Nintendo. If I recall Star Fox 64 has been essentially remade twice. Once for the 3DS and then Zero was basically the same game again with poor controls. Why they feel the franchise isn't worth a true sequel is confusing as a really deep Star Fox game with some kick ass online modes that are along the lines of what Crimson Skies online were would be really fun.

Re: Review: Grandia HD Collection - Two Classic Games, Shoddily Remastered

SpacedDuck

Fair review when you factor in they delayed the game almost a year and then had the nerve to say they were listening to fans about improvements. The slowdown in handheld mode in Grandia II is awful. This is a game from 1999 and it can't even do a TBS game on a console in 2019? The visual glitches are brutal as well where in a cutscene my characters face is missing plus endless audio issues that have been around forever. Gung Ho is a total joke of a company and I heard they are bleeding money so hope they go under and someone else ends up with the rights to these games.
