Dafuq that's really cutting it close

porkChop3108d ago

There's no way that date is real lol. That's a terrible time to launch anything.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3109d ago

A placeholder would be 12/31/2017

smashman983108d ago

No I've seen Amazon put December 29th as a place holder

TheFirstClassic3108d ago

I mean they definitely would want this out before christmas. To release it 4 days after would be a bad idea.

Clumpy3108d ago

I still have no idea how this game could turn out better then Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and X. Masterpieces.

Xen0blade3108d ago

Agreed, Sequels are supposed to top the previous entry's but this one feels like a downgrade. There is nothing spectacular about the environments, they seem blend and generic. The direction of going full anime with the characters seems lazy and uninspired. If you played and enjoyed the 1st one its clearly obvious this one looks inferior from what has been shown.

For me, Xenoblade 2 and 3 and Final Fantasy 7 remake and rebirth are the best JRPGs or RPGs in general ever made. Yes, they even surpassed Expedition 33 in my honest opinion. Before, the Tales series was among my favorites, but I was very disappointed with their last game, Tales of Arise. Its world has become linear and not as expansive as their previous games. Fortunately, its battle gameplay is still very good. I hope that in the next Tales game, they will expand the game even more.

Hoping for a new Xenoblade game from Monolith Soft in this year's Nintendo General Direct. And it should be a Switch 2 exclusive.

Yeah, Xenoblade 2 and 3 are amazing. I would have put Xenoblade 2 in first and 3 in second if I was ranking them.

Zeldafan6432d ago (Edited 32d ago )

The "worst" Xenoblade game is still better than 95% of games out there. Xenoblade 2 is my favorite rpg ever. All the Xenoblade games have incredible characters, soundtracks, voice acting, stories, world design and combat (save for Xenoblade 1 whose combat, while good, is not incredible).

What makes it even sadder is that if you jailbreak your Switch 1, it actually runs those games better than the Switch 2. Since you can, on the fly, change the rendering resolution and overclock the device to handle it.

I’m currently playing Xenoblade X like that and it’s great, no FPS drops, and even in handheld mode, the game looks very clear. Though, I have to say, I’m still a bit divided on whether I like or dislike the changes they made from the Wii U version. On one hand, everything looks cleaner and the models feel more alive, but on the other hand, it looks less unique.

Zeldafan64102d ago (Edited 102d ago )

Saying X looks less unique is not something I ever expected to read. I think the character models look quite a bit better in the Switch version (not that I thought they looked bad in the Wii U version). The world and monster design are some of the best I've ever seen in video games though I'll still give a slight edge to Xenoblade 2's world design. Leftherian Archipelago is my favorite location in any video game from a visual standpoint followed closely by endgame of Xenoblade 1.

Vits102d ago

If you think the Switch version models look unique, I have dozens of anime titles to sell to you.

Zeldafan64100d ago

I was talking about the world and monster design being unique, not the character models. Guess I should have made that clearer.

They should update these games for the switch 2 hardware, might as well as we wait for the next new xenoblade game.

repsahj191d ago

I hope this is a free update for switch 2. Specially XCX.

jznrpg191d ago

2 was the game I liked the least but it was still pretty good

Zeldafan64191d ago

2 is my favorite in the series even though it's the one I have the most issues with.

Duke19191d ago (Edited 191d ago )

So outside of a side by side comparison you would never notice a difference between the original title and the remaster?

It’s depressing how many people want to keep buying the SAME GAME on a new platform.

Zeldafan64191d ago

The Xenoblade games deserve way higher sales numbers than they get.

peppeaccardo191d ago (Edited 191d ago )

Switch 2 = Replay Station
