I thoroughly enjoy the Mana series, especially on SNES and GBA. So I'm always looking forward to more!

According to this PC Mag article, all pre-built PCs since 2016 have TPM 2.0 included.

"Joey Maraazzo: Xbox has been trying to conquer the gaming market in Japan."

Trying to conquer? How about:

"Xbox has been trying to survive the gaming market in Japan."

That makes more sense.

Its too bad that Japan gets the special editions for this game, and not EU / NA. I had to pre-order the DX Ultimate pack from ebten. Its pretty expensive, but has some nice exclusives, such as a wallscroll, food placemat, leather pouch, and acrylic standee. I had to use an import service in order to buy.

See, this is the right mindset to have!
MS can announce 7,000 games, but what if those games aren't fun to play? Or fun for me (specifically me) to play. Then its hard to praise them. Yet here we are, day in, day out, MS getting praised for announcements, but not actual high quality game releases.

People are buying Xbox Series S|X consoles based on promises. Okay, its your money, do it, but if you get burned, you deserve it.

I have to agree. Don Mattrick, while he royally screwed up with DRM, he understood that getting new, unique and exclusive games on your platform was important. Wikipedia shows the list of Xbox Game Studios releases:

If nothing else, par for the course, eh?

I have played the game more than I'm willing to admit. Even beat all the DLC as well, and nearly S ranked everything including the DLC.

The game had good graphics for the time, and a fantastic soundtrack. If only it had an extra year of development it could have been a decent game. People keep harping on the kiss at the end of the game as if its a big deal. It really isn't (people kiss their cats and dogs all the time, and no one freaks out about that).

I was just playing Sonic Adventure 1 on Dreamcast last week, and had a good time. There's no reason to abandon 3D Sonic games.

The issue has always been SEGA wanting to rush out incomplete or unpolished games. The executives running SEGA are so ignorant that they don't realize if you spend more time (and thus more money) fully completing and polishing a 3D Sonic game, not only will it sell better (more return on investment), but you'll also grow the fanbase. <...

Its literally the lack of dev time as you said. The problem is that Nintendo is willing to fund and nurture Mario games, which is how we end up with Sunshine / Galaxy / Odyssey / etc.

SEGA wants to rush out Sonic games, and this has always been the biggest issue. Even if a particular game has potential, the games turn out poorly because of game design flaws that weren't fully figured out, bugs, control issues, constant loading screens, etc.

Even as a big fan of the original Xbox and Xbox 360, I have no desire to purchase an Xbox One, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S, or Xbox Series X.

They aren't doing anything right. Gamepass means nothing to me. Bethesda releases mostly boring slog grindy garbage. MS purchasing Zenimax shows just how out of touch they truly are, buying one of the worst publishers out there.

The E3 show had only 3 Japanese games, one of them old, and two of them from the same ...

While I agree this is price is outrageously high, and I have no desire to purchase them, but you've completely ignored the most expensive aspect of these controllers, and that is the human labor, time and effort required. This is a manual process, right? There's no robotic assembly line disassembling and, modding, then reassembling controllers, correct? This means the additional $190 is going to the employees working on them.

People always complain about livable wag...

No, it'll release in 2022 as a buggy disgrace, just like all previous Bethesda boring WRPGs.

I really appreciate that Insomniac has given us the choice of not one, but TWO different 60 FPS modes. This is how you give players options! Bravo!

I use DualShock 1 to play THPS1+2 on PS4. Works perfectly. I've also played NiGHTS on Sega Saturn with a DualShock 4. With USB adapters almost any controller can work on almost any platform.

I beat the game, and don't want a sequel either, but for entirely different reasons. I hated the game design, constantly having to collect the same items over and over again. Within the first 2 hours of the game, I was tired of collecting scrap, and yet it persisted throughout the entire playthrough. Its such a easily-identifiable (Sons of Anarchy + The Walking Dead) Ubisoft generic open-world game.

The first act of the game was straight trash, without the upgrades, bot...

It's not the same game, at least we hope not.

The old Sonic collections, use sloppy, barely acceptable emulation. In more recent years, Christian Whitehead has reprogrammed Sonic 1, 2, and CD from the ground up, including a wonderful new feature called widescreen.

M2 has also ported the games via emulation (3DS and Switch ports), but they were high quality, and also featured new content.

The fans are hoping that Sonic 3, Sonic &...

I never heard of this interview, but I would have rejected it back then, just like I reject GamePass today.

Most modern games are junk, don't care how cheap the subscription is, the vast majority of newly released games aren't even worth your *time*.

Thankfully flash carts exist. I'll gladly pay for 1 cart and play everything on it, including translations, balance patches, new fan levels, etc.

I have flash carts for my Famicom, Super Famicom, Genesis (which includes Master System, Game Gear, as well as Sega CD), and Nintendo 64.

And of course ODEs for disc based systems as well. Buying overpriced games off ebay is such a waste.
