Octopath is the only game I'll be buying on switch this year was nvr a huge smash person. Spiderman is easy day one.

Sm30002759d ago

Me too, love nintendo, but smash bros I don't get the appeal either. Not knocking it! Different strokes for different folks

Michiel19892759d ago

SMASH IS LIFE!!!
Octopath traveler is the reason im gna buy a switch, oh wait that was the reason before smash ultimate got announced ;) Well I guess Octopath is a nice bonus for my smash machine haha.

Spiderman looks amazing as well, ill surely be picking that one up.

Michiel19892759d ago

@sm3000 I always liked smash cause it was fun killing people. I started to love smash when I got a bit more in depth with the mechanics and started to try and pull of some awesome combos. The beauty about smash is that you can play it without thinking about any mechanics and you still have a blast, but you can also go as in depth as you want and have an awesome competetive game that has no game like it.

Funny thing is that Nintendo is adapting the Blizzard moto lately. Easy to learn, hard to master. At least from the games that I played (MK8, Smash, Mario Tennis)

G3ng4r2759d ago

Getting smash for sure since cloud and snake will never be in a ps allstars game.

mochachino2759d ago

Most blatent trolling I've seen in a while.

Michiel19892759d ago

PS all start was actually a very fun game. The mistake they made in my eyes was that you could only kill with ultimates. Some chars had such bad ultimates which were easy to dodge, and that threw the whole game off imo.

I don't have a switch so it will be racing and web slinging for me this holiday.

Neonridr2759d ago

it's all good. I think all 3 are going to turn out to be winners. Forza looks great and I may pick it up on my PC.

The Wood2759d ago

The switch is worth a grab unless you don't like the exclusives Nintendo offer

Why is there no mention of octopath traveler ? Seriously this game looks titts. I never preorder games, but i have a spiderman fetish, soooo i caved in. Can't wait to play the hell outta it

porkChop2760d ago

Octopath is this party though. It does look great though.

ClanPsi12759d ago

It doesn't only look good, it IS good. Have you downloaded the most recent demo/prologue?

lociefer2759d ago

i played the first one and was immediately sold !, only played the dancer's path, but i opted out of the second demo. what i played was too good that i need to experience if fully at release, i get that progress from the newest one carries to the full game, but dang it's too much of a tease for me to play only 3 hours.

ZaWarudo2759d ago

unpopular opinion here, but i just can't stand the glowy filter and almost binocular viiew of the game. It turns me off, which is a shame because i liked everything else.

Mr Marvel2759d ago

I played the first demo, but I’m waiting until a about a week before OT’s release to start the second (prologue) so it flows on nicely into the main game.

Nu2759d ago

For a second I thought you're avatar was a shit emojis

ClanPsi12759d ago

@Mr Marvel: Yeah, I definitely wish I had done that now. I'm at 2:55 and I REALLY want to keep playing... :(

Neonridr2759d ago

@ZaWarudo - it's definitely something that takes getting used to. But the fusion of sprites and backgrounds with depth was just too much to pass up. Don't get me wrong, games like Horizon and God of War look jaw dropping on my Pro. But it's refreshing and nice when you get these games that just change it up a little.

Your opinion is your own, so don't feel bad about sharing it.

getbacktogaming2759d ago

@Zawarudo I'm the opposite; I loooove Octopath's artstyle and even the story but it's the gameplay I am not too sure about.

Mr Marvel2759d ago

Agreed, screw Smash, Octopath Traveller is the Switch game I want.
I’ve even pre-ordered it.

SilverDemon2759d ago

Maybe because it's not Nintendo releasing it, it's square Enix

I believe they are focusing on games that are published by the big 3

Segata2759d ago

Well, Nintendo is publishing it like Nintendo does with every Square Enix game on their system.

SilverDemon2759d ago

Weird, I thought square would publish it since they made it

Prince_TFK2759d ago

Last I heard, Square publishes it in Japan while Nintendo publishes it worldwide.

shinoff21832759d ago

Octopath looks fantastic. I buy mostly just ps4 games but this game is a must have and the reason I bought a switch( well some but I've loved mario he was my first intro to gaming on nes)

Prince_TFK2759d ago

I feel like it is the biggest sleeper hit of the year and could very well be RPG GoTY.

wonderfulmonkeyman2759d ago

Spiderman looks great, and I'm hoping the little we've seen of it isn't all of the best of it.
There have been plenty of cases, before now, where a game preview has shown the best of it and left the rest feeling underwhelming after it released.
This is especially true with movie-based games, but it looks like this one might avoid that particular curse since, despite being a franchise with plenty of movies, this one isn't based on a current movie. [To my knowledge, at least]

Here's hoping. It'd be great to have a good web-swinger game again.

Majin-vegeta2759d ago

This spider man has no ties to.movies..its it's own story.

wonderfulmonkeyman2759d ago

Thanks for that; that means that it's most likely going to be great since it won't have to worry about the movie tie-in curse.

Neonridr2759d ago

while that is true it still falls in the same universe as Homecoming if I am not mistaken.

Jeff2572759d ago

@Neonridr It’s a sepearate universe than the MCU which is what Homecoming is part of. We will find out what specific Marvel Universe the game is part of in late Sep with Spidergeddon #0.

plmkoh2759d ago

Haha nice stealth concern trolling.

wonderfulmonkeyman2759d ago

No trolling here. I genuinely hope it'll be great.

G3ng4r2759d ago

With skin that sensitive you should wear a suit of armor. Blind faith is for religious people and playstation is not a church.

Gameseeker_Frampt2759d ago

Nice passive-aggressive trolling there. Now back under your bridge.

wonderfulmonkeyman2759d ago

"Passive-agressive trolling"
Dude, take your own advice instead of stealing my line; I've played other Spiderman games and not all of them are fantastic.
I legitimately hope that this one will be as amazing as the previews were, so shut the hell up.

getbacktogaming2759d ago

lol don't mind people here on N4G you are getting blasted for "hoping" a game will be great while too many people believe it implies it may not be... That said the game looks sick and definitely my most anticipated of those three although this fall I think I'll be all over RDR 2 :D

monkey6022759d ago

It's not currently got any movie tie in but now that you mention it there's probably nothing stopping them making an animated feature of it in the future. Like Heavenly Sword or Ratchet & Clank. They do have the licence to do so after all, just look at the new Spiderman animation they're releasing soon

Sony Remade Demon’s Souls, So Why Won’t It Touch Bloodborne?

The Outerhaven writes: Bloodborne is still one of PlayStation’s most beloved exclusives, but it remains trapped on PS4. Meanwhile Demon’s Souls got a full PS5 remake. But why?

Demon's Souls was a PS3 game.

Bloodborne is PS4 and can be played on a PS5.

There's no need for a remaster.

Relientk7712h ago

I completely agree with you on this. If you want remasters or remakes give us games from the PS1 or PS2 era like Legend of Dragoon.

Eonjay6h ago

I would say thats a personal oponion trying to be passed off as a law. Truth is thre are many people who would love a remaster.upgrade so they can play Bloodborne at 60 FPS. People would literally love that.

shadowhaxor8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

I mentioned that in my article, did you read it? I literally pointed out this is exactly why the game is still doing well, and why Sony has zero reason to remake/remaster it.

And there are plenty of PS4 to PS5 remaster/remakes, to counterpoint that.

Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered
GTA V Expanded & Enhanced
Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut
Control: Ultimate Edition
Death Stranding Director’s Cut
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade
Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection
The Last of Us Part II Remastered

Eonjay6h ago

Either because they technically can't because From Soft wont allow them too, or because From Soft is sorking on the sequal, remaster themselves. Therre is a third option of course and that would be that they are working on it

MinnesotaFatts4h ago

Some part of me wonders if there's some sort of corporate war going on at Sony.

Daver7h ago

I want a new one not a remaster

victorMaje6h ago

TLoU got the remaster & then the remake treatment.
Where is the next bloodborne, or remaster, or remake?

Goodguy015h ago

What it needs is a ps5+pc release. The game absolutely needs a 4k60 update. Lots of money sony is sleeping on while the souls genre is still hot.

MinnesotaFatts4h ago

Tell me you don't know what a remaster is without telling me.

Bloodborne is infamously capped at 30fps on either system--a bizarre design choice given that speed and reaction time is central to the gameplay systems. This capped performance was never patched out officially, unless you jailbreak and mod your console. A remaster for modern hardware, not the infamously finicky PS4 devkits, would be a great way to both hyper-optimize the game *and* drive sales for the PS5, which still doesn't have a system seller title.

There might be some licensing red tape they cant get around?

shadowhaxor9h ago

That'd be interesting, but Sony owns the IP 100%. So, I can't see how that is part of the issue, if there is even one.

RaiderNation5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Maybe Sony isnt interested in doing it without the assistance of Miyazaki and he's not interested? (Just spit-balling).

MinnesotaFatts4h ago

That's the issue according to FROMSOFT. They'd *love* to do a remaster, but Sony won't even return their calls.

Inverno9h ago

Because they're saving that for the PS6 to lure in all the suckers that will think they're making a sequel, but the whole gen will pass by and From won't ever touch it because Song doesn't care for either Demon or Blood outside of remakes.

Furesis6h ago

Because they made them do something else, then they canceled it and who knows what they are doing these days. They dont understand what they have and honestly i dont think they know what they are doing either.

blacktiger5h ago

How bout forget remade and start making new game pls?
