The freakin' DS has games that support voice chat on the console...the DS!

I haven't done it in a while so unsure if it has changed, but you used to be able to download any PS1 or PSP game to a PS3 and then transfer it to the Vita and it just worked - regardless of whether it showed as something you could buy in store for, or download directly to, the Vita. It opened up a huge library of back-compat titles that way.

Just to give you a heads up, FFXV has RTX support but, as far as I know, they haven't actually outlined that they will support ray tracing. They have said they will support Deep Learning Super Sampling, but that's the only thing that is confirmed as of right now I believe. Please correct me if I'm wrong, of course.

Wow, really? It left early access on Steam back in January, so their commitment to the XBOX version seems a bit lacking. Perhaps this expansion won't hit for XBOX until after it finally leaves early access. Hopefully that happens for you guys soon. Can't imagine what the hold up must be.

Given the demo they showed ran at 1080p 30fps on an i7-8700k and GTX 1080Ti, I really don't see how they can fit this on current gen consoles at all without making extreme compromises. That GPU is 11.3 tflops. The original PS4 is 1.84 tflops and original XBO is 1.3 tflops. We know Sony/MS don't allow Pro/X only software, so if CDPR support this gen of consoles they will have to support their original consoles as well.

I just don't see how they can do that with m...

So, it looked like a good game. I mean it didn't shatter my world, but it seems fun. And it looks solid visually for an open world. Sounds like they are trying to give a gameplay hook to the "choices matter" mantra from games like Mass Effect. If they can make playthroughs meaningfully unique from the choices/approaches made, that could be a nice step forward.

But as it stands, it felt to me like a good game in all the ways we are familiar with open worlds and...

Here's the thing. I also thought there was slightly too strong a focus on the gender/transhumanism part. But there are some gamers out there of whom this does interest. So I don't really mind skipping ahead and reading the rest of the interview for the parts that do concern/interest me. I'm not self-centered enough to believe that everything in every interview has to be asked to fulfil answering only the questions I'm interested about.

It saddens me that thi...

Very mature of you. If it doesn't interest you, why not just skip ahead to the rest of the interview that doesn't deal with those questions?

I realize now that, in the context of the comments, the way I presented my own comment wasn't clear enough to convey my intention. I was more adding to the article's conversation of "gaming industry being greedy" rather than the comments calling out Nintendo for hypocrisy, but I can see how my lack of specificity allowed for your interpretation.

My opinion is that, in general, Nintendo is a mostly fair company in regards to cost to consumers. Not to say th...

The hackers/pirates who make the OS most Switch's run that allow them to pirate has DRM built in. Why? Because they didn't want their efforts to go uncompensated. So make sure you buy that hack, support the people who force you to support their work of undermining the work of others.

Just...don't pirate man.

My favorite is Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate. A nearly 3 year old 3DS game that launched for $40 that I bought for $20 about a year and a half ago, which is now being released as a Switch game for a full blown retail price of $59.99.

I mean, the only remasters you see cost that much have 3 or more games included (i.e. Nathan Drake or Halo Collection). A single or double feature HD rerelease is normally $40 or less. I find this to be a pretty unacceptable price point w...

This is a beta update. You have to opt in to test out the beta branch on PC to even get the update. You can see that it isn't live yet for PC proper by looking at their patch log on the website:

And you can see which platforms each release is for as they label each one under the patch number. PC gets updates first, mostly I think because they can push those ...

And you're offended that "SJWs" are offended, and the world goes round and round.

One thing I missed in the gameplay trailer: gameplay. I kid, I kid!

Though I really did expect more actual gameplay from it. The next trailers sound like they'll provide me with what I'm lookin' for though.

It's kinda funny how things work. I played FFVIII first and loved it. Time went on and I tried to go back and play VII since I had heard so much great stuff about it and, sadly, just couldn't get into it.

I've become too jaded as a gamer I think. I just don't believe any game that does a Battle Royale mode with any amount of actual effort put into it is purely a joke. I think, in this saturated market and general poor view of new BR games, if you say you are doing a Battle Royale you will get shrugged off or actively booed. It is oversaturated and people have good options. The way to subvert that expectation? Make it a joke!

This wasn't for real, we are in on the...

Is ZiggyD doing the VO work here?

This looks pretty good though. I haven't played in a little while - one can only grind so much - but it is a great game. I'll have to check this out when it hits.

Which platform are you playing on? I can't seem to get the demo to show up on Steam. Guess if it doesn't pop up here soon, I'll just check it out on the PS4 or Switch.

Well, I guess the move to Gearbox and a $60 price tag did not ultimately help this game out. Or if it did, it pulled it up from mid 50s to mid 60s in the review-score-aggregate. That's a shame. It seemed like it had the potential to be something more.

The detail and quality that we saw in that trailer is, I agree, truly incredible. But they still didn't show me much in the way of true gameplay in that 6 minute video. I want to see more on how the game actually plays, so I'm reserving the hype until I see the next vid or two they release. Sounds like they'll be more in depth.
