But_my_mom_says_im_cool, do games w Nintendo discontinuing Gold Points on the Switch eShop, ahead of Switch 2 release

Japanese game companies are allergic to modern, working ideas. I’ve always dislikes how Japanese games look terrible. They don’t even try sometimes and you have ps5 games that look like ps3. They have game series like mega man that they refuse to Move past side scrolling, you play their games and they even leave out basic shit like “pick up item” animations and voice acting. I find Japanese games antiquated and even if they’re fun, they feel like I’m playing a last gen game when I play a Japanese saga or similar dev game.

Pokémon is a good example of a series that refuses to make a current gen game. They all feel like ds games on a switch

november,

Is this a joke? Side-scrolling platformers are fun and not every game needs voice-acting.

But_my_mom_says_im_cool,

Side scroller games ARE fun, sometimes. Imagine if if no game had ever evolved past it though. Mega man is my favourite game character and I sit there playing games like ratchet & clank and wishing we could get a modern mega man to match it.

november,

There was a 3D Megaman platformer. It was called Megaman Legends and it got a sequel, but for some reason they never made a third one.

Meanwhile… If you like the gameplay of Ratchet & Clank why not just play that? I like JRPGs but I’m not upset that Psychonauts isn’t a JRPG, for example…

I’m coming at this from the perspective of a Sonic the Hedgehog fan. The Genesis/Mega Drive platformers were peak. The 3D games were… well, some of them were okay, but all the money and effort that was poured into them meant that for a long time, Sega wasn’t making the kind of game I actually found fun. The problem with changing up the entire style of the game you make is that you’ll inevitably leave fans behind.

thermal_shock,

Not for everyone.

november,

So… they shouldn’t exist?

thermal_shock,

No, but why argue with someone’s opinion over what games they like??

november,

Because what they said was, They have game series like mega man that they refuse to Move past side scrolling, you play their games and they even leave out basic shit like “pick up item” animations and voice acting. Implying that the kind of games I like should have stopped existing as technology marched on.

pycorax,

Have you played any games outside of those genres? There’s plenty of great modern games that are side scrollers. The idea that side scrollers are antiquated is frankly absurd. All that aside, Armoured Core, Yakuza, Street Fighter, Tekken and MH Wilds all look pretty good.

Also considering the power of a Switch, it seems like a no brainer that it would look like a PS3? It’s chipset is almost a decade old and operates at a fraction of the power of other platforms.

Krudler,

This is one of the stupidest comments I’ve ever heard really Rre video games, no country has produced more innovation in the space than the Japanese.

But_my_mom_says_im_cool,

Only if you ignore all of western game development

Krudler,

Bro I started my professional game development career in 1996 and retired in 2015. I played video games in the early 70’s that existed before Pong. My father had one of the 5 supercomputers in the world in the meteorological service of Canada, where I used to hang out with nerds that would let me play with shit, and play the games they made when they weren’t modeling weather. I have studied nothing in my entire life more than the tapestry of what we call game development. So kindly stop.

thermal_shock,

How is that related to his/her opinion at all? Are they not allowed to dislike something? You don’t have to agree, but wtf.

I don’t really care for japanese style games either, whether it’s rpg games like Chrono trigger, or sailor moon, or any final fantasy games. Are you going to shit on me too? Because I don’t like something that is popular? I just never got into them and other things interested me first. I do love secret of mana though.

Big_Boss_77, do games w Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 hits 1m sales in just one day

This one is really testing my patient gamer ethos…

bigboismith,

I’ve been burned with pre-orders and day-one buys so many times. And now the time I managed to hold of, it had a good and stable release.

ByteOnBikes,

Not me! I got Kingdom Come for either under $5 or free last year.

So I expect to get the sequel at the same price in about six years.

Also the whole Gamersgate backlash that the lead was actively encouraging, and now the dev arguing against the anti-woke crowd… Yeah I’m not in a rush to give them money.

vxx,

Gamergaters praised the game for being anti woke because of the beard of one developer, then they found out theres a gay character.

Haß nothing to do with the game or the people behind it. Its gamer gaters shooting their own foot and now blaming it on them.

Rokin, do games w Dino Crisis 1 & 2 just got enhanced PC re-releases, courtesy of GOG

Thank you, GOG, again!

pycorax, do games w Assassin's Creed Shadows delayed again to March 20

Are delays not good? It’s preferable to being broken on launch, not to say that it couldn’t be, but it’s likely that it would be more broken if not delayed.

glitches_brew,

Takes extra time to get that fourth A.

Also, never give Ubisoft money.

UprisingVoltage,

When a game gets delayed it’s not a good sign in general. It means “the game is broken and we can’t release it as it is”.

Of course a delayed game will be better than a game that needed to be delayed and released anyways instead, but realistically speaking you can’t fix a broken AAA sized game in one or two months.

Add this to the fact that Ubisoft (rightfully so) earned a bad reputation among players as time went on, and that devs can’t work at their best when they are crunching and they fear to be laid off, and you’ll understand why non-casual gamers don’t have faith in the game.

PieMePlenty, do games w Sony shows off conceptual immersive gaming tech that lets you stand in a TV box and sniff The Last of Us

It’s it a box they sprayed some lab made formula in and are presenting it as smell replication for the sake of building up hype to grow their stock, but no new tech involved what so ever?

thingsiplay, do gaming w Sony reportedly prepping PlayStation 5 portable, plans to battle Nintendo's handheld dominance

Read my comment if you like speculation and future prediction.

It’s a bit too early to talk about this. First the Switch 2 will come out, then probably Steam Deck 2, then Xbox Portable and only then Sony is ready to release. At that point its already in the middle of the Switch 2’s life cycle and the market is full of handhelds. If Sony comes up with expensive prices again, it will be a tough sale (in the long run) and it ends up being a similar failure (for units sold) like the Vita.

The Playstation Portal just streams and is already 200 Dollar. It’s basically a tablet with controllers attached to it, but less capable. If Sony goes the route of Apple and markets the Playstation Handheld as a premium device for hardcore fans, then do not expect it being cheaper than 500, around same price as the original PS5. I hope Sony will surprise me.

Will they follow the logic of the movies and make the second one an action game?

Soup, do games w Crypto bros have discovered idle games, and the results are incredibly boring

Well this is a huge bummer. I like idle games. They distract from anxiety. And I have a lot of anxiety.

I can appreciate a website making a list like this rather than putting five games to a page to garner more clicks! I definitely have different tastes than the reviewers though, which is fine.

Jimbo, do gaming w Splitgate 2 plays great - but its new focus on objective-based 4v4 team games may be a turn off [Eurogamer]
@Jimbo@yiffit.net avatar

For god’s sake, I just want a shooter with simple deathmatch!

Varyag,

Swear to Jah, all we need is a proper modern, moddable Unreal Tournament.

Jimbo, (edited )
@Jimbo@yiffit.net avatar

While it’s not ideal there is something actively played out there, with plenty of custom maps and kind of recent…

I’ll copy-paste a previous comment about it here:

Though development is long dead, the servers were taken offline recently and it was delisted by Epic, people are still playing the Unreal Tournament pre-alpha (commonly called UT4) which you can get here: www.ut4ever.org/downloads

You’ll also need to register an account here and merge it with an Epic account: ut4.timiimit.com/Instructions/UT4UU

The download should come with the unofficial update which gives access to the private servers, I play on the Unreal Carnage servers regularly which often gets 8-15 players at a time, more than enough for some deathmatch. Would love to see some more people around!

(Mind I’m in New Zealand, which is why my ping is so high, the netcode handles it well somehow)

Varyag,

Oohh, I heard about that. I’ve just kept playing the community maintained UT’99 and a little bit of 2k4.

Rooskie91, do games w Images leak of Valve's next game, and it's an Overwatch-style hero shooter

JESUS CHRIST JUST MAKE HALF LIFE 3 AND PORTAL 3 WHAT ARE YOU DOING VALVE?!?!

AceFuzzLord,

At this point, we have some absolutely impressive Portal 2 mods that, in my opinion, definitely make up for not having Portal 3. We’ve got Tag (the paint gun mod), Thinking With Portals (a short one that gives you the ability to create a clone thing that copies recorded actions), and I’ve been playing through one I just found out about called Revolution that is pretty cool so far.

I personally like to think that the fans have done a good enough job at creating mods and maps that a Portal 3 would be redundant.

Rooskie91,

Damn I didn’t know portal had a mod community like that. I’ll check it out.

Duamerthrax,

Revolution is flat out better then most AAA retail games, both in quality and length.

Portal Stories: Mel is also something to try out. There’s some small references to Mel in Revolution, but playing Mel before Revolution isn’t necessary, but recommended.

amio, do games w Images leak of Valve's next game, and it's an Overwatch-style hero shooter

So they're ripping off the game that ripped them off. The industry is in an absolute state.

There’s no such thing as an original idea. Just look at tvtropes. The whole idea is to make a new take on a previous idea, to integrate and innovate. No idea if this will be successful in doing that, but the premise alone shouldn’t condemn it.

@Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

god this is like when everyone called first person shooters “doom clones”, overwatch is absolutely not a tf2 ripoff lmao, and making a hero shooter does not mean it’s an overwatch ripoff either.
