Anyone remember the Nintendo Seal of Quality?

I called this the second I saw Forever Entertainment show up on that first trailer. Honestly, it's better than I expected. I bought Hollow for full price at launch and I will never forgive them.

This game is so dope. Loved this and Soul Reaver back in the day.

Where is that hilarious header image art from? I love it!

There's no way Sony is buying these IP, or rather there's no way Konami is selling them. They still use the IP, just not necessarily in games. Pachinko machines, comic books, TV shows, remasters/rereleases, other licensing opportunities, and the occasional game make money for Konami. It makes way more sense for Konami to license their IP out or do a low risk collaboration with other devs than to cut off a slow and steady revenue stream that will always have an active die-hard audience.

I never thought the NA box art looked bad, but it's easily the worst of the three. I'm kinda torn between the JP and PAL art. I think the PAL art fits the game the best, but the JP art looks cool enough to frame and put on a wall.

@Link41x This was me. 7 seems high, especially for the ancient "rental" F2P model. It is a functional multiplayer military shooter for Switch for free, and I feel like that's the best thing you can say about it. It's as bland as sugar-free oatmeal, the shooting feels weirdly snappy and mechanical, the AI is awful, the F2P model is gross and outdated, and it's easily outclassed by military shooters made over 10 years ago.

I can't even begin to understand how someone does this. If I just saw the first part of that video, I would've been convinced I was looking at the GBA game.

I bought Hollow at launch and have had trouble trusting anything Forever Entertainment puts out since. Hollow might be the worst game I've ever played on a console.

@TechaNinja I can't believe I forgot about that! Yes, Castlevania is incredibly good. Probably the reason I had any faith in Netflix to begin with.

@TechaNinja Seriously. Their Witcher adaptation is low budget garbage that takes dramatic unnecessary liberties with the source material, and their Locke and Key adaptation looks horrendous. I will still watch this Resident Evil adaptation like a fool and hope they've done better, but I doubt it. The Witcher series is doing way too well. :/

@EandH I feel your pain. Must've been writing my comment as you were posting yours.

Please note that this game requires an online connection for no reason that I can detect. It is single player or local coop from what I can tell, and anytime you finish a mission, the game has to check a server. If the server does not ping, you can't progress.

@Kalmaro I agree. That being said, the delay announcement last year was a gut punch. It was the only game I was looking forward to last year, and to have them also break their "day and date" promise for the Switch release was salt in the wound.

@AnnoyingFrenzy Yeah, I don't see how this is any different. Even the Mario Maker/Dark Souls style death points are in the Doom 2016 Ultra-Nightmare mode.

We can't have Mai, but shirtless Shulk is fine apparently.
