£55 on the Switch, I'll be waiting for a big price drop.
Doesn't matter what you call these 2D Mario games, same old each time. Super Mario, New Super Mario and Super Mario Land, the dogs are barking at Bowser turning up. I'd have gone for a new Super Mario World. The sequel to Super Mario World on the Super Nintendo wasn't a true sequel. A new 2D Zelda is due.
Sad how Nintendo brings back 'old games' and charges a premium price. New games yes, old games no. It really is sad for the industry.
The problems with that are it'd probably weigh in at a full price game and it wouldn't include the AX tracks that are weirdly in the GameCube version but can't be accessed.
The same old if you ask me.
Because they're allowed to do it and people will pay £70+ to play it. To play this at launch, it's desperation and impatience. I'd rather wait until it's been out for x amount of years with bug fixes. Sometimes that pays off with a complete edition that are common these days.
It really does look like so many games before it. The only thing you can do with this genre is go the Ridge Racer route with made up tracks and cars. Sick to death of the same tracks and cars with the likes of Forza and Turismo. Arcade Racers have died. Ridge Racer, Shox, Project Gotham etc.
God, Contra has gone to the dogs over the years. How about a new 2D Legend of the Mystical Ninja? As with CAPCOM, Konami died after the Dreamcast and PS2 era.
How about F-Zero GX with the AX tracks which are hidden in the GameCube version on Switch? Probably one of the weirdest decisions from Nintendo. A new Wave Race is well overdue and also Pilotwings. Poor decisions.
The amount of time it's taken to develop the game, it was always going to look dated in areas. Human faces always look plastic in games like Barbie dolls. You can say the same for racing games, trees always look like cardboard.
It looks boring if you ask me.
God, these games will never change.
It'll be hammered with paid DLC. Huge no go for me.
Are you one of the mentioned Trolls?!
Imagine it. All consoles digital. Games £70+ as they are now. The average person who has a mortgage, kids and bills to pay. The cost of these consoles and VR, gaming is starting to dig a whole for itself.
I suppose Starfield makes a change from what Sony pumps out. Same style games such as The Last of Us, Uncharted, Horizon Dawn, God of War, Days Gone etc. Same old, same old with Sony.
If you take say 100 game reviews, you can calculate an average score. But a game on its own, 5 out of 10, 50% out of 100% etc. is an average score. Been gaming for over 40 years. I'm not OCD with review scores. There has and never will be a perfect game. Any game scoring 100% our 5 out of 5 etc., it's a load of tosh.
The thing is, most Sony games these days are banging the same drum. Run here, walk there. They've continued the blah, blah, blah with PS5. Same situation with PS5 VR, just a re-run of the PS4 VR. Same old with PS6.
At £70 in the UK, I'll have to pass at launch. And that's for the (shall we say) basic edition.
CAPCOM are shocking these days. Gobsmacked after the Dreamcast and PS2 era. Resident Evil is a dreadful franchise. No Powerstone 3 is my biggest gripe. UN Squadron 2 is well overdue. Loved CAPCOM during the Mega Drive and Super NES era. Like Konami, CAPCOM died during the Xbox 360 and PS3 era. It really does need to take a look in the mirror.
