Well if they have to replace it you'll probably bankrupt them

Nah I'm with you, the field did look good with the camera pointing upwards, but when he was on the path you could see the grass loading in. The feed I was watching looked very stuttery too, but it really could just have been my feed, you can't judge that stuff off youtube It's not for me but it was never going to be. I did like how the town looked and I thought adult Link looked alright. I hope the people that are excited like it, personally I wish people would get over Ocarina, but I've thought that for decades at this point 😅

I really enjoyed this. It looks like an old Disney film, that hand drawn post Snow White era Disney. As a game Bye, Sweet Carole is an adventure game, you have more control that a point & click, but it shares a lot of those mechanics. You play as a young girl who's mum died and so she ended up in an orphanage come finishing school for girls. It's the turn of the last century and women are to be ladylike and homemakers, ideally for wealthy men. You start to have these nightmares based around rabbits and an evil man in a cape, who seems to know something about your friend who "ran off", Carole. These dreams quickly bleed in to reality, and the threat of the 'tar man' spreads as the staff of the school turn in to giant evil rabbits There is some very light platforming, but we're talking about climbing ledges rather than jumping between platforms, running around to hide, but it's just going in a straight line. For the most part, and this is a bit reductive, you'll be stuck in an area and need to escape, that will involve getting a thing, which means you need to turn something on, but to do that you need to get 3 things. It's that sort of game. While you're doing that you're likely being hunted, occasionally whatever it is will trigger as you make progress, but generally they'll stay in one area and you might need to coax them out or just be very slow and quiet so as not to alert them. The main hook is how the game looks, and I won't pretend it doesn't have it's frustrations, but I really enjoyed it, one that improves a lot as you get further in

I think we're already seeing it, so I don't think things will change much other than we'll be in the middle of it. There'll still be physical games, but not from Sony, probably not from a lot of the big publishers on PlayStation, and obviously none for the next console It's not that long ago we were all worried that single player games were going away and everything would be some sort of service game, that's not happened, so I'm fairly confident we'll still get good games. Storage is going to be a weird one, we need larger drives than we had at the start of this generation, but that might even cost more than they did back then I do think the cross-gen phase is going to be huge this time around. It's probably only this year we've stopped seeing meaningful PS4 games, except for Sony trying to sell their new consoles with a couple of exclusives, it's going to be years and years yet before we see something we can't play on the current generation

it is very, very Witcher 3, which is no bad thing, but it sounds the same, the inventory is the same, and moves the same. I don't mind the directional blocking for the combat, it keeps it interesting, and I'm learning to be more deliberate in my attacks. That said. I am also constantly putting my sword away by mistake. The time thing I'm less sure of, but I suppose you can just ignore it, the game carries on if you don't do the main quest in time. The problem I have with it is that, if you don't know what you're going to have to do over the course of the game, it's hard to manage your time. You need to get help from people in your quest, but without knowing how many people, or how many stages that will involve, you could potentially not leave yourself enough time, or waste time you could have used seeing more of the game or levelling up. Or there's an abundance and it doesn't matter at all Either way I'm enjoying it a lot

OnLive was ahead of its time for that

too many good games out at the minute, but I do want this. It might be one I get physically some point but get cheap on PC

I hated the look of this. It seems cut and paste from a million other terrible, cheap jrpgs since the PS2 days. Nonsensical writing like "my Resonant Will is the sword I live by". Just terrible, terrible stuff

I thought this looked.... alright. I'll wait to see more of it before writing it off, but I didn't love the style of it. Gameplay wise it looks like the footage of that Stupid Never Dies Namco are also putting out, and that might actually be more interesting

this is like when I had Lovefilm back in the day, I could rent 2 discs at a time, and watch 2 hours of streaming. If the film I was watching was longer than 2 hours, that was a me problem This was always going to be the problem with cloud gaming. Take Netflix as an example, to stream a film it's about a gig an hour, gaming will require more than that because the visuals matter more, and you're sending almost 3 times the amount of frames for a game than a film. So an hour of streaming a game from Game Pass is, conservatively, 5 gig? If it's 5 gig then it's 5 gig for everything, so something like Senua 2, which is 8 hours long, that probably works out as far less data for them to send streaming than to let you download. But Marvel Cosmic Invasion is about 500mb according to my Steam install, and I played it for 9 hours. So if I had streamed that it's nowhere near as cost effective It felt like cloud streaming was always Microsoft's goal with Game Pass, this kills that dead for the foreseeable

yeah it does

Feel like I've not posted anything in here for ages, but these are my recent physical pick ups. Sega Classics Collection on the PS2 is a collection of their Japanese Simple 2000 remakes, so 3d Space Harrier, Outrun, Golden Axe and Monaco GP. Then an apparently pretty good port of Virtua Racing Halloween/ Ash Vs Evil Dead is a collection of 2 2d games based on the franchises. From what I could tell at the time they both looked pretty similar in how they played, maybe I'm doing them a disservice, but I suspect this is going to be hard to find soon. Akai Katana Shin looks like a cheap jrpg but it's actually a bullet he'll shmup. I don't think I've ever played this version, but I'm pretty sure I've played the original

From Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07DD6RNGK?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title I can vouch for this deal as I bought it myself. They're gaming speakers, they work on PC or console, but ridiculously good. Razer have replaced them with a V2 which is why they were so cheap, but originally they were about £500 https://www.techradar.com/reviews/razer-nommo-pro They have Optical in and USB in, these are the best sound, with the latter letting you mess with settings. Bluetooth and line-in, with a headphone out from the volume control too. They can get stupidly loud, I'm using them on my pc so have them slightly higher than I'd like (so I can pick out the detail) because I'm sat right in front of them, but still quite low. A word of caution, they're fucking massive. I'll post a picture, but the subwoofer is the size of a bin, I wasn't expecting how big they are, I don't really have the space for them in my gaming nook

@one-armed dwarf it's the Mega CD (the add-on for the Mega Drive). I have the rom on my little android thing, one day I'll get around to it

I do love the look of this, but yeah, the odds on me buying it for the Switch 2 are pretty low. It's cool though

I think that's 2pm here

maybe people think its to watch Spurs play at home?

yeah, they've turned a few games around after slow starts. They do need to start getting some new games to land though, some new IPs would be nice

yeah looks interesting, reminds of a manga without it being any specific one

we definitely had something about it because I remember sheepishly saying I thought it looked decent. It's not quite the game I thought it was going to be though with the dungeon mechanic. @Maf it was the game announced with the pop-punk song, presumably at the Game Awards or something

it does sound short as an rpg, but there's plenty of supposed 20 hour games that take me twice that. It'd likely take me way more than 40 to do everything too

yeah, Cloud looks like when a female cosplayer dresses up as him The Control video is much more muted than that tbf. But what you'd say is that it's just not what the game was intended to look like, so while the shadows might just be a bit different without changing the look of the game, on characters it does have a meaningful effect, which isn't necessarily a good thing

it reminds me of Yakuza combined with Onechanbara

I thought that DLSS stuff looked fine for the most part, although it seemed to make all the characters look older. Control is a noisy game around surfaces and the main character and that looked a bit worse when it was on to me, but it's hard to tell on a YT video. I will say though, that RTX5090 was running at max, so it seems fairly demanding, it is unfinished though I suppose
