Re: Legendary Composer David Wise Explains Why He Wouldn't Have Swapped The N64 For A CD-Based Console

@Severian I am listening to videogames OSTs every single day since years! It's too good for working because they have no lyrics and are usually remarkable music tracks of almost every kind ! Even now I am listening (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAktXjsl9s0) and I am doing a Final Cut Pro X movie project! All these guys that are looking us like weirdos, have no clue what is going on. They simply cannot understand us. Even on radio, you will listen always to same songs and you will get bored to death after a time.

Re: Nintendo Could See Profits As High As The Wii Era Thanks To Global Lockdown, Analysts Say

@Ajent Yes, this is exactly what I am saying. I own PS4 also and I play Switch more BUT there are people that they don't want to throw money to two consoles and have only PS4. I am referring to those that they play Call of Duty, Resident Evil new titles, FPS, online games, etc. Look for example Capcom that they don't really support Nintendo. They are supporting Microsoft and Sony. If the next consoles will be out, RE8, SF6 and new Monster Hunter will be of course in PS,XBX. So, software and hardware sales will be lost again for Nintendo.
True that Animal Crossing and FF7 remake sold extremely well and Switch plays in its category as hybrid alone but I think that there is indeed an interest in graphics. It's the same as the PC users that nowadays don't want to play a game at 30 fps. They prefer 60 minimum or above if they have a better monitor. So, if for example Sony delivers a much better VR experience out of the box (if), then it will be an advantage to Switch.

Re: XCOM 2 Collection Brings Award-Winning Turn-Based Tactics To Switch This May

@Samwise7 I have completed Wargroove (some levels with walkthrough) and I like very much Fire Emblem too, however I found Xcom 2 a bit too difficult. XCOM1 was fine but the sequel was harder than I thought. It's true that in Xcom you cannot take back your actions and if you want none of your units to be dead, you will try again the whole level again and again. Mind though that it has a too much loading. On PS4 had a poor performance (in the launch of the game) but a patch came after a couple of weekes after the launch and I don't know if it was fixed. I struggled on a level and then I left the game as it is. I think that if you want to change the difficulty, you will have to restart the whole campaign. So, it's not a bad game but I think that overall Fire Emblem is better. In Fire Emblem also, you have a lot of freedom with 10 units and play a game with different weapons, skills, working together etc. Xcom2 is somehow different. It's not an indie game like Rebel Cops. It's full AAA game with researching, etc and it's like two games in one but if you can play the game on easy and if it's a solid port with good performance and short loadings, I think you will like this.

Re: Miyamoto Says The Success Of The Switch Was All Thanks To The "Good Timing" Of Its Release

The good news is that it is going well in sales but the bad news is that next year that maybe the PS5 and XBOX4 will launch, the graphics gap between the generations will be huge! Sony and Microsoft develop the new consoles with new hardware every time. Nintendo unfortunately after GameCube era, stopped doing this and it feels like a step back to graphics capabilities. I know know gameplay is more important BUT the players actually wants higher graphics and immersion to the game. Will Nintendo follow again the same path and we will beg after some years for a Switch PRO?

Re: Fans Are Working On A Game Boy Advance-Style Demake Of Fire Emblem: Three Houses

@LinkSword I know of course that its needs a lot of work BUT it is not so much for creating somehow a "new" game. A translation even for movies is difficult from English to language for a different country. I have done it and I didn't want to do it again! But the translation is only one thing. For creating is graphics, sound, music, text, game mechanics, etc.
