Did someone want a new Prince of Persia game......IN VR?

I don't want to sound rude, i'm happy for those who own a VR headset. Personally i waited for a new PoP for over a decade but i've absolutely no interest in VR so this news surely does feel like a huge letdown. Can't say Ubisoft is new with these things, you can tell when they really don't care about an IP, they start to attach them to these low budget side projects: VR, mobile,...

Honestly this looks like a random game where Ubisoft slapped the Prince of Persia brand on it.

Between this and the lack of Playstation (and apparently Nintendo? Heard that somewhere but don't know if it's true or not) this E3 is shaping up to be a dumpster fire

It's not true, Gamexplain passed some speculation as fact without checking, despite Nintendo had confirmed their presence at E3 last month

Super cool to get new Way of the Samurai games these days, even though it's a spin-off

The only reason why i didn't put FE:3H higher are the visuals, especially compared to other Switch exclusives that came out in the same period like Astral Chain which looks awesome.

The art style was not as strong as the 3DS games, Kozaki and Hidari brought a look for FE that was far more distinctive, and from a technical level it's also one of the weaker entry: with a bit too much aliasing, and despite the simplistic look performance are not good in the Monastery.

But besides that i really liked everything else: the story was far better than Awakening and Fates, very strong voice acting too, the school mechanics were well implemented, the combat was also on point.
Overall this is currently my favourite Fire Emblem game.

Way of the Samurai 2

I think I got this game for a Christmas like 15 years ago, for many years never quite understood it, despite i had finished it (a couple of endings at least), cause it was not dubbed or subbed in my language. Besides that me and my friends have always thought the game was super cool: it's a free roaming action game with a solid combat system, where you can fight every NPC, and live like a Samurai.

Recently i came back to it to see how well it aged: the presentation still stands out, it wasn't like the most impressive looking PS2 game but it had a pretty consistent style and the music are good. Voice acting is hilariously bad, perhaps even worse than Tenchu (same studio).

The story is really weird, i realized it wasn't just me not understanding the language at the time, the story is a bit over the top and doesn't take itself too seriously but it's also going for weird angles: for example at the very beginning you save little girl called Sayo who doesn't speak, you want to teach her how to read and write but it turns out that she works as a messenger for a geisha, helping with her shady business in town, so you have to pay the geisha to spend some time with the little girl.

There's also the fact that you have to choose which faction you want to stand for and arguargbly there isn't a one "good" option: the magistrates are way too oppressive and essentially beat anyone who breaks the rules, the Aoto gang are the Yakuza, the bad guys, so you should technically root for the townspeople except just like that Geisha they all insult you since Samurai don't have a good reputation in town.

Overall it's one of those games where you laugh at the bad parts and enjoy the good ones, even though i totally get why it reviewed poorly at the time.

Platinum would love to come back to Scalebound, and release the game, hoping to get from Microsoft a similar deal to what they got from Nintendo for TW101.

Details on how that happened: surprisingly Nintendo gave them the okay to release it on other platforms that way, despite they held the publishing rights.

What if that 4 is a nod to Capcom Five and we're getting 4 new games? It's like all my budget for videogames would go to Platinum Games this year LOL

I wonder when they will announce the Switch Pro(or something like that) and BotW sequel's release date.This E3 probably. Also, I think using BotW sequel to boost up Switch Pro sales like original Switch with BotW would be obvious choice for them.

It's either this fall or March 2021 i think for both Switch Pro and BOTW 2.

The announcement of Switch Pro unlikely will be at E3 cause Nintendo prefers to reveal hardware separately (it has been like that for the past 15 years), i'm guessing either at the end of April, or after E3 if it's launching this year.
