Re: Talking Point: Can Sony And Microsoft Really Compete With Nintendo In A New 'Handheld War'?

Ultimapunch

You can talk about hardware and specs all you want. But Sony simply needs to up their first party game. It's been lackluster on the PS5 compared to its previous consoles. No handheld or console will sell without substantial first party offerings. And that is exactly why Microsoft has no chance at creating a successful handheld. Microsoft has abandoned first party games ever since the release of Halo 3. And that's why their systems have failed ever since.

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Donkey Kong Country Returns HD For Switch?

Ultimapunch

I'm actually really hyped for it. DKC Returns was one of those games that didn't really have a definitive version. The Wii version looked much better and ran at a smooth 60 frames. The 3ds version controlled much better and had extra levels. Now we get an HD version with the 60 frames of the Wii version and the controls and levels of the 3ds one. Yes please.

Re: Sony May Be Plotting A New PSP To Compete With Nintendo's 'Switch 2'

@Anti-Matter Oh I have no doubt there are plenty of great games on the system. There just hasn't yet been that killer app (Think Breath of the Wild or Mario Odyssey for the Switch) that has made me decide to buy the system. And a lot of other people feel the same way. Now if RE9 is a PS5 exclusive I will definitely have to get one for that.

Re: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Devs Explain The Method Behind The Menu Madness

Ultimapunch

@-wc- Remember pausing all the time for the Iron boots in the water temple? Zelda has had issues like this forever. The fact that dealing with a menu is the worst part of the game goes to show how sound the rest of it is. Nobody was complaining about the menus in Sonic 06. There were quite a lot of other more glaring issues to complain about.

Re: Talking Point: Just How Damaging Is This Big Pokémon Leak?

Ultimapunch

I really think all of these leaks are why Nintendo doesn't announce development partners beforehand anymore. They're trying to stamp out leaks and are trying to keep as much info close to the chest as they can. Leaks are fun for fans. But you have to remember that they happen because someone who has trust placed in them is breaking that trust.

Re: Poll: Resident Evil 6 Turns 12 - Does It Really Deserve Its Dire Reputation?

Ultimapunch

There's been an attempt at 6 revisionism to try and critically reevaluate it. People trying to claim that its a bad RE game but a good action game. I must say I disdain that attempt. It's just not good. Even as far as third person shooters go it isn't very good. The truth is that a guy chasing you around a dinner table with a shovel in RE7 is a million times more intense than literally anything in RE6.
