    • RE: Pokemon Snap 2 Confirmed. Seriously.

      @el-shmiablo Sword and Shield wasn't too bad outside the Wild Area, which they clearly struggled with. Diamond and Pearl Remakes are outsourced to a dev studio who have only assisted on games and made Pokemon Home before this, and I agree those games look awful. I want performance too, but everyone keeps making damn open world and musous, which will inevitably end up really ugly or really poor performance, because people don't accept "less enemies on screen at once" these days.

      @bam541 I'm really not sure how BotW did it as a launch game, but I'm sure having twice as long of a dev cycle as those Pokemon games sure helped. Even then, there were afew hitch areas at launch and Korok Forest still does it bad, plus the Master Cycle Zero actually breaks the game, because it wasn't designed for you to go that fast period. The two Switch games that just feel like magic to me are Dragon Quest XI S and now Monster Hunter Rise. Both of those I just am in awe of. Those devs must know something about the hardware others just don't.

      @bam541 The graphics of the old N64 one never bothered me, so the graphics of this one definitely won't. Of course people are always going to look at EVERY Switch game and go "wow, if only this was made for high end PCs with ray-tracing" but for a handheld system, I still think it looks quite good.

      @el-shmiablo If they can fix the distant Pokemon slideshow, I can probably tolerate the rest. Hell, made it through Age of Calamity, and that's way worse. Definitely time for a Switch... Pro tho. Only recently revealed game pushing the hardware that's running well is Monster Hunter Rise.

      I guess this is our topic for this, so here's the new trailer for anyone who missed it.
      Youtube Video

      Research Levels are how they're going to extend the playtime, so people don't blow through all this game's content in three hours. I hope it is an obscure level and not a displayed one so people can never be sure if they maxed an area and you can have childhood rumors of stuff like "if you go to the musky forest 100 times Pikachu will flip you off".

      That pretty much confirms the "Pokemon Signs" from the original will make a return, which is good to hear.

      Main reason the Diamond / Pearl Remake looks so bad is GameFreak isn't developing it in-house, so they can put their development towards other games like Legends Arceus. I too feel horrible for all the Sinnoh fans who get an even more scuffed Remake than ORAS.

      @yoshi Fair, if that's what you want, it'll probably be a beautiful little experience.

    • RE: State of Play

      @yoshi I already had bad vibes from Kena, then we saw the combat and learned that's a $40 game, so it'll probably be extremely short, and that's why it is so pretty.

    • RE: Monster Hunter Rise (Switch/PC)

      Yeah, the randsomware attack already confirmed that. I caved and preordered on Switch though. My PC can't run it, and I'm banking on enough people being too impatient for the PC version and then getting too invested in the Switch one to swap once it comes out, plus might have the staggered content problem World did.

      Solar Ash looking fun as fuck. Not hyped about the price of FF7R getting jacked up, but hopefully by the time I'm buying them it'l be discounted back down or all in one collection anyways. I feel like this also delays Part 2 all the further out though, and that's lame when the games already take forever to release, understandably.

    • RE: Your Pop-Tarts & Toaster Strudels for Q1 2021

      Well this post aged poorly. Not only was Balan a mess, but now Bravely Default 2 is here, and the reviews are looking pretty positive right now, about in the 80s range. Apparently the game has framerate stutter issues, which seems to be a trend with new Switch games lately, but other than that it actually sounds pretty good. I've also heard the new Ghosts 'n Goblins has a style that is charming when you're playing it that didn't come across in the trailers, and that one seems to be swimming in 7s right now. Still incredible hard though from what I hear.

      So yeah, I was wrong. Maybe check out Bravely Default 2 and / or Ghosts 'n Goblins: Resurrection if those look appealing to you.
