While I'll agree with you that Nintendo has been irrelevant for awhile in the home console space, the same cannot be said for the portable market. The 3ds won't match the DS, but it is has managed to sell a very respectable number of units even in the smartphone era. Switch looks to be more of a portable than a home console, so I think that has to be considered.
No thanks, for about 7-8 years I played that genre like crazy, often to the point of missing out on other things. I prefer a more balanced approach now.
Would love to hear what contemporaries of R3 you think are so much better. And no, I don't think it is better than Half-life 2, so no need to mention that.
Well said. I feel like 2 was probably the result of meddling suits at Sony who wanted to chase the feel of other contemporary FPS games rather than do their own thing. Pity, given that Fall of Man is one of the best launch games of all time, and 3 was just excellent.
As linear, single-player shooters go, it doesn't get much better than Resistance 3. Unfortunately, it seems like too many people got burned by the mediocrity of 2 (cool co-op mode aside) that 3 didn't sell like it deserved.
I hope the patch changes it from "NIN64" to "N64."
It just won't sell. People always say "more systems is better, blah, blah, blah" but it doesn't play out when a franchise's entire legacy is based on one platform (and its predecessors). See for example the terrible sales of MGS collection on 360, FF15 and MGS 5 on Xbox ONE, or Titanfall 2 on PS4.
Just a tip-if you don't like 1, don't give up on the series. 2 and 3 are significantly better than 1 (though hopefully 1 will be tweaked some in the remaster).
Would love to see them remove a lot of the hand holding and overpowered abilities, so it gets back to the greatness that was FC2.
Most of us don't.
Insomniac is not as consistent, unfortunately. Yeah, they made the great ratchet games, but they also made some unnecessary spin-offs that weren't great. Resistance 1 was good, 3 was fantastic, but 2 left much to be desired. Also, FUSE.
Hopefully all those people who bought titanfall 2 for its singleplayer will be excited for this.
Yeah, my thumbs are in the same location on both hands, so I want my sticks in the same location on each side of the controller.
More proof that the people who whined about the lack of campaign in Battlefront last year don't actually represent a significant group.
I think Sony is starting to realize that 3 years after the PS4 launch and with the introduction of the pro at $399, $250 is the price point that really makes sense for the Slim.
This is a good way of thinking. Don't know how you missed them, but you need to play 1-3 to appreciate 4. But instead of trying to get PS4 without 4, you should get the Nathan Drake Collection so you can play them.
? Xbox is more popular in the UK than everywhere else in the world except the US. US distribution will probably be similar, but everywhere else will be more like 8-10 to 1 (particularly factoring in Japan).
Yes. The first one would have done much better on PS4. But once you start a game on one platform and exclude others, you can't expect them to immediately jump on board with a sequel. Look at how poorly MGS5 sold on Xbox One if you don't believe me.
Although your reasoning seems to stem from you being an Xbox fanboy, I actually agree with you. When you ignore a platform with the initial game or games in a series, you may as well double down with exclusivity in later...
You'd think after the first change you'd have picked a good permanent name so you wouldn't want to do it again.
Why would you do that?

Let's just hope we get more good open world games like that on Switch. In a lot of good ways Switch reminds me of Vita, but I hope it gets a better stream of high-end titles rather than just Indies.
I'd love to see Rockstar bring over some of their PS2 games in a collection to the Switch (I mean I'd love to see them make new games for switch, but that seems unrealistic).
