@nmanifold There are shadows at day but not at night it seems. also the ps2 had stensiled shadows not the prettiest thing. The character shadows weren't even present in the pc version which also had some effect missing wich were all later modded/patched back in with the silentpatch.
I would pick Ocarina of Time over BotW, and maybe GTA SA over GTA V. The last of us while a populair game, feels a bit out of place here. I would prefer to see RDR2 in it's place.
@nessisonett Need some salve for your wounds ? @Desrever Nah man. Chris Pratt prints money, Garfield was created to do the same. Jim Davis would love it. It's not Calvin and Hobbes where the original creator did not want any merchandise created based on the property.
@SonyCanGoToHell I think there is, an older article showcased one with all sorts of extra tat.
I am still skeptical on the GTA games, I wanna know if the original playlists and radio stations are intact do they just lose songs or got the THPS1+2 route and add a bunch of (time approriate) songs to compensate for the lost ones.
@doctorhino I don't know much either but the Rage engine is quite demanding and maybe converting the Renderware(the original engine) assets was easier with UE4? or maybe the team that made this had more experience with UE4 and it would be the easier option. Also UE4 runs on the Switch, IOS and Android phones as to push as much sales as possible.
@doctorhino Idk what you ment to say but all these games run on Unreal Engine 4 not on the botched anniversary editions they released on mobile devices. The Switch version likely has lower res textures than the high-end version and as the games are not seperated, share engine data but I cannot say for certain.
Crisis Averted, Abuse gone! Women are now fruit bowls and pillows and Jesse mcCree, Cole Cassidy. Blizzard surely knows how to make an ass out of themselves over and over again. Granted to some degree we, as customers and media, are part to blame as well, to the extend that glorifying these developers like rockstars, which is also a questionable practice, gotten their egos so inflated they deemed themselves special and untouchable. This is not anti-consumer or capitalism, spend your money and buy what you like, but a cautionary tale that those who make the things we like are flawed human beings like ourselves, power corrupts and the weak will always fall first.
I will wait for the reviews like many have voiced their concern about the soundtrack and ofcourse the gameplay. Don't get me wrong, I would love to play these remasters on a portable system. I have a great love for Vice City and San Andreas but some songs are so important for the feel of the games that they do belong in the game.
I watched a youtube video(forgot the channel) and someone was review symphony of the night and he said something along the line. Progress is skill based, enemy placement, pacing, room design, stat progress, item drops etc. it all needs to be there to suplement the players skill and not carry them trough the game.
@Ralizah I got stuck in Nioh because a boss was too hard for me, I put the game down and moved on. as I am getting older my reaction time wanes and I never had a sense of rythm so most rythm games are unplayable for me. Now some rythm game have solutions to the button timing delay but nothing can fix my lack of rythm. I also have stiff and clumsy motor skill I will never be a great dancer or sports man. that is just how life is and sometimes people just have to accept there are limits to things they can do.
@CharlieGirl I get to an extend that things like colorblind modes, captions that indicate the speaker, button mapping etc. are good features to have for everyone really. But what does irk me is that certain people push for things like 'making dark souls easy' if dark souls is too hard, it's not for you. play an easier action RPG, I enjoy racing from time to time but anything close to simulation is me wrecking cars so I don't play them but there are still plenty of arcade racers giving me what I like about racing. But all people deserve a shot at being able to play games in general because it's fun and brings people together(sometimes it devides ... dang red shells)
I payed €35 for the original release like the sucker I am for these games but throwing down another €10 for the DLC would make me spend more than the re-release costs compared to the original which feels like a mad scam. I'll pass or wait for a discount because I like both Junglebook and Capcom Aladdin but I don't love em as much as MD Aladdin and Lion King.
@Wavey84 I prefer Alan Wake over Dead space. Not many games have this Twin peaks/Stephen King vibe to it and this game introduced me to Nick Cave and the bad seeds for which I am thankfull.
@Hinade I have never played the GBA ones but Sonic Rush is very fun great soundtrack by Hideki Naganuma of Jet Set Radio fame. It has this quasi skate like combo system that you can use when on rails or in the air and the switching between top and bottom screen makes for frantic but fun gameplay.
Is this boxing game comparable to WWE allstars game from years back? just some light hearted arcade fun for people who enjoy the franchise but are not looking for a simulation.
@RainbowGazelle I thought River city girls and half genie hero were really good idk what your idea of outstanding should be but it is not like they are incapable or just spewing out mediocre schlop This is a port of an old game afterall.
Hopefully we get an Igavania collection, Rondo of blood, Sotn, all 3 GBA games, the DS games need a bit of work to port proper due to their dual screen but none use it more than just a map screen.
These questions are always really tough to answer because there are many great sounds and so many game to find them in. The sound of Doom II Super Shotgun Donkey kongs chest pound idle sound from DKC The sound Rayman makes in the original when he makes a goofy face. The inventory cycles sound in MGS I can go on and on and on.
oh... ok. Never heard of YMO before and don't give 2 ***** about Dua Lipa's brand of generic pop Can tell a lot of anime and game ost gave been inspired by YMO so that's cool.
@Clarice Cuz then it sounds serious and allows them to shame you. Or it is just a generic not well thought out monnicker to disscribe a specific form of discrimination same as how every scandal is called a (somethingsomething)-gate.
Both GBA Tomb Raider games are pretty decent, the first one is a bit closer to the original Tomb Raider experience the n2nd one is a better gaming experience.
@SpaceChloe I think nature makes women feminine but that's just me... what one percieves as feminine can be partly subjective but nature and evolution don't play.
Anyway... on topic.
Giggled at the mike drop as the end of one of her combos that kind of detail is what I love.
But another game I looked forward to this year moved to next, guess all I have no is Metroid dread.
