Re: Reaction: A Direct That Delivered, And Shows That Switch Still Has Plenty Of Pep

TheBoilerman

My overall thought was that this Direct showed that we certainly are at the end of the Switch life cycle.

Sure, there were a few good things for just about anybody to be excited about, but nothing truly mindblowing. Remakes, re-issues, and recycles, but not the ones I'd hoped for. Although, that Capcom collection really got my attention!

The more I watch the Zelda reveal, the less I think it'll be anything more than "this is the right way to advance here" gameplay. It might seem open, but I think it may be an illusion.

Metroid 4 isn't a bad swan-song, I suppose.

Re: Embracer Group To Split Into Three Separate Companies

TheBoilerman

Basically, it seems to me anyway, Embracer was made up of a bunch of investment bankers who were buying up IPs to create a portfolio that they hoped was worth more than the sum of its parts with the intention of selling said portfolio for mega-profits.

Gamble didn't pay off and now they're scrambling to make anything they can from a fire sale.

Re: Talking Point: Should We Be Expecting More From Remakes And Remasters?

I'm with @Ryu_Niiyama just having access is enough...mostly. Although, a graphical upgrade is always nice.

I have a library of games going back to the SNES, and sometimes trying to play those older games hurts the eyes. My best, most recent example is Diablo 2. I played a ton of it back in the day, but for the last many years, I couldn't bring myself to suffer the dated graphics. The remaster made it "new" again.
