I’m currently away from home and I’ve downloaded Resident Evil 2 (remake) onto my Steam Deck. I’m an hour or so in loving it so far! I’ve only ever played RE4 (the original version) before and it feels quite different - less incentive to shoot enemies.
I have played most of the originals, but haven’t played any of the remake yet. I have heard great things about the remakes though, so may go through all of them sometime.
Do share you opinions once you have finished the game.
So I finished Leon’s ‘half’ of the story yesterday. It was great! Loved all the puzzles (which had a classic videogame feel to them) as well as the various settings. It’s a beautiful looking game and the gunplay is very satisfying.
I was a bit disappointed to learn that playing as Claire is just the same thing again, although it does have a few different story beats. I don’t mind too much though as it seems like a fun game to play through multiple times.
This seems like a great way to remake an old game. Reminds me of FF7 remake in some respects.
Still working on preparing for the “final push” in TotK, didn’t play a whole lot again this week. When you only have around 25 shrines to go, finding them on a map that big without a guide can get really tedious, especially when most of the ones I’m finding now are in caves. They really like putting them in caves in this game, I’m noticing.
I may also start up one of the strategy RPGs I bought in Steam’s little strategy game sale the other week. I bought a bundle that includes Symphony of War, Dark Deity and Tyrant’s Blessing. Not sure which to try first, though. I had Symphony of War and Dark Deity on my wishlist already, but Tyrant’s Blessing also seems interesting.
I grabbed Death’s Door on a whim for $8 and I’m blown away. It has so much charm, the music and atmosphere are amazing and it feels great to play. If you like the old top-down Zelda games, don’t sleep on this one.
I have heard great things about the game. It’s on my backlog, but with all the games I am playing don’t want to start another one before finishing at least one or two of these.
Finnished Call of Cthulhu the past week, finally finished Prey this one (I’ve abandoned it for about a year), and between all of this I’m playing Baldur’s Gate 3. Now I want to play again the System Shock remake, I’m far in the game and I think I can finish it without much time.
I’m liking it a lot. I’ve never finished Bioshock, but I’ve played a few hours of it, so it may not be a fair comparison, but the environment feels bigger and more convoluted, everything is less linear. It’s more similar to Prey than Bioshock.
Also, the progression of the player is based on gadgets and weapons, there are no powers to level up by using points.
And with Baldur’s Gate I’m playing a thief which a master on almost every skill, but not the best in combat jajajaja.
And it’s been true since the very first console. The Master System was more powerful than the NES, and the Genesis/Mega Drive was more powerful than the Super NES (arguably; the Sega CPU was far more powerful than Nintendo’s). Same is true for its portables.
They’ve always prioritized per-unit margins. It’s a conservative approach, but it means profit on every console sold.
So there’s a 0% chance this console is actually as powerful as a PS5. However, there’s a good chance there are hardware and software techniques being used to upscale a lower resolution image.
Seeing the trailer I’m immediately reminded of Tunic, with its sort of top down, 2.5D perspective and what appears to be being thrown into a world where deciphering just the basics of what’s going on is half the challenge of the game due to a lore-based language barrier. Where Tunic was very much an homage to 2D Zelda, this game looks to take that concept in a more original direction. Looks interesting. I’d think about getting it if my backlog wasn’t a mile high.
Yeah, reminds me a bit of Fez. If we need to decipher the language, it would most probably be just substitution cipher on English, otherwise the game might become too complex, unless we just have to decipher a limited set of words.
Well, the way Tunic works is that you don’t really decipher the language on your own to straight up read the characters, you work with pictures and other visual/environmental cues to figure out what it’s telling you. It would be akin to going to an Asian country that doesn’t use the Roman alphabet without any knowledge of the language and having to navigate things by pictures or trial-and-error until you start to pick things up on your own. You don’t decipher the words themselves, you pick up on the context, if that makes sense. It really was a large part of the fun of Tunic.
i know conventional gamer wisdom says otherwise but i think this just goes to show how more horsepower just leads to diminishing returns at this point. people call the switch underpowered but it's best selling game is a wii u port! gone are the days of each generation looking infinitely better than the last
For context the nintendo switch uses the nvida tega x1 processor. Which has also been shiped on the nvidia shield. So for context the gaming console is using the equivent processor. FOR A ANDROID STREAMING BOX
Nintendo never hid this. The specs showed a Tegra X1 when Switch was released. It was always public knowledge that Switch is an Ouya with an ecosystem and released games.
None of your post is new but it’s like you want to drum up outrage that a company used easily available hardware that didn’t require custom hardware like Playstation or Xbox (which SHARE nearly identical AMD chipsets!)
Why get mad at the hardware choice for an 8 year old console?
