Need to see more. Can't get excited for it with the little we've seen so far. People comparing it to Breath of the Wild because of the visuals, but so far I haven't seen the stuff that made me love Breath of the Wild in this.

Tango has yet to disappoint and I think a new IP is a good way for the studio to grow. I'm intrigued by the background info and knowing how esoteric and scary The Evil Within is, I have high hopes for this.

I was initially super excited for this game, but ever since they showed it turning more into Persona or Harry Potter even, I've lost most of my interest in this. It will probably still be good, particularly during a second half if there's a major shakeup that changes how the game plays, but that already means less of what I wanted from this for the sake of adding replay value through faction choosing to a game that I don't think needed it. Still keeping an eye on it though, and I still think it looks like a healthy bounce back from the stuff that popularized Awakening and Fates, at least until they announce dating your students or something.

I was very disappointed with "Oddworld: New N' Tasty". It didn't have an ounce of the atmosphere that the original game had. I am hoping that they can improve with this one.

@axel Resogun should be on there

I'm very interested to see how this turns out. I like the overall style and I am glad they are making many improvements. My biggest concerns though, which have been concerns since the beginning, are enemy death-animations and overlong text-dialogue segments.

@axel said: Over 9.8 million Switch Online subscriptions, Tetris 99 played by 2.8 million. With the way people were talking about it, I thought I was one of the few who didn't bother with Tetris 99, but nice to know there's 7 million others who did the same. Also glancing through there, I spotted the slide for games from other publishers planned to release this fiscal year, and spotted Hollow Knight Silksong on there, which is sooner than I expected that to come out. Also good to see Crystal Chronicles on the same slide, as there's been pretty much no word of that since first shown while all the Final Fantasy games revealed alongside it have been coming out in waves. Speculation ahead. Looking at how they're considering release seasons for upcoming games, you can semipredict when the ones simply still slated for 2019 will come out. Luigi's Mansion 3 is probably a safe bet for Fall. Animal Crossing and Link's Awakening could both either go Fall or Winter, but probably will be one in one and one in the other. If I had to bet on it, I'd say Animal Crossing in Fall, just to spread it out away from Pokemon and Animal Crossing cannibalizing one another as longterm games. That's assuming nothing gets delayed though. Think it is safe to say at this point Nintendo has no plans to support Super Mario Party any further, despite it being among the games listed as the first games new Switch owners play. I wonder if this means they're aiming for a quick turnaround on a sequel instead, but either way it is pretty disappointing as that game was severely lacking in number of boards and could've really used some other touch ups. Least it looks like we'll be getting even more Free Smash Ultimate updates alongside the release of future Paid DLC.

@tearju-engi Ahhh, Axel beat me to it by 5 minutes. But yes, as he said both here and above, not enough distinction on the bottom half of submissions (though, like always, I'm just FASCINATED to know how this is going to play out. This is gonna be a good time.).

I would really like to do 2005, it'd be fun to do one from that era that we haven't touched yet.

This is exactly the correct amount of weird.

@capnbobamous I live just outside of SF. We're spoiled. Going back home to MT is a good, healthy shock to the system to see what "high speed" internet can really be like.

@wrynnax The one with Huber in it is full, totally don't know about any other EZA clans if there's any. Maybe this forum should make one specifically. After watching the Huber Syndrome and the latest Frame Trap, I think I'm sold. Hopefully I can get this soon.

For your FYI, anybody who downloads anything and everything PS Plus gives you each month (like the ultimate sex beast that is me), this game, at least in it's less elitist form, was a free game for the Vita a few months back that also had crossbuy for PS4.

This makes me very happy, been dying for more video game OSTs to get to streaming services (especially Spotify, the only one I'm using right now). It can be harder than it should to listen to many OSTs, so this is all good news. I'm listening to the original RE2 music right now, what a trip.

@dmcmaster EA Access is on Xbox. Origin Access and Access Premier are on PC, with the difference being you get access to all new games earlier than any other platform or service.

@ffff0 @Axel Seconded, it might be a good opportunity for you to plug it for non-forum regulars, explain how it works in more detail and what you do to organise it, explain how you do 2 every year, one for the year past and a retro one. It's sort of what Community Showcase is for, I think :)

looking forward to the result starting to roll in.
