At one point I had 2 Xbox 360s so if one failed I had a back up so I could keep playing. Pretty ridiculous tbh.
Big console is fine as long as it’s cool. Still looks like a really fancy George Foreman grill
Dunno, it’s just not jiving with me at all and I can’t put my finger on what it is. I haven’t really given it a proper chance to get into its groove but I’m not super compelled to get through it.
As someone who really enjoys a Metroidvania, I’m really struggling with this one!
It’s a great idea to highlight some of the little gems we find. It’s easy for them to get lost in the eShop!
Nice quick reviews of a few games people might otherwise miss!
I never got into Pokemon as a kid and haven’t really tried it outside of Pokemon Go and Lets Go Pikachu. I’ve been tempted to have a look at Sword and Shield though cos I don’t think either of the other two gave me the best introduction to the series.
If you don’t have time to play everything that releases do you just not bother with them? I’m pretty happy that we’re getting something like Smart Delivery as not only will I have new stuff to play, but I’ll potentially have the option to play improved versions of games I didn’t pick up or didn’t finish at the tail end of the generation. Using Cyberpunk as an example, it’s nice to know that I can continue to play it on my new device with improvements without having to drop more cash.
It’s hardly patronising or sexist, he’s literally put the spotlight on two people who are exceptional at their job who also happen to be women. If this had been an article about two blokes in the industry you probably wouldn’t have batted an eyelid. Did you even read the contents or did you just look at the headline?
You keep posting this, but I don’t think you or Nivek have any idea how this actually works. There was an article doing the rounds a few years ago about how a thing called frustum culling works in games and it used HZD as an example.
Basically it loads what’s in view and some of the stuff that’s out of view so that when you rotate the camera, the details load in. If you’re gonna keep talking about this, then at least do the research on how game engines work rather than just...
Quite like the direction they’re taking the IP with this spin-off. Always quite enjoy a wee ARPG and this looks ideal for some co-op play. Looks like they have a hit on their hands!
I loved the look of Odyssey and wanted to enjoy it but it just never gelled with me. The last AC game that really sunk its teeth into me was Black Flag but everyone loves pirates. The combat in Odyssey was much better though.
Kinda hoping Valhalla has that little thing that grips me!
Apple Arcade, improvements to PS Now. Small steps right now, but it’s definitely having an impact. Also what about the changes it making for Indie developers? More eyes on their games, more sales. There have been changes but you’re walking about with your eyes shut.
Does it matter? We all know it available on both and just because it’s not explicitly stated doesn’t make it less true. PS Now is available on PS4 and PC and only has 1.1m....
Well that’s just not true is it - remember, 26 years ago Sony didn’t exist in the industry at all and they did pretty well to disrupt the industry and introduced CD and moved the industry towards a new delivery format same with PS2 with DVD and PS3 with Blu-Ray. The last two in particular had an impact on not just gaming but media delivery as a whole.
Apple didn’t exist in the mobile space and completely upended that for a long time.
Whether they are “in ...
@waverider it was estimated at 9.5m users in May 2019 and makes up 30% of Xbox revenue...
Meanwhile, PSNow just hit 1.1m recently. GP is a great service, MS ain’t losing money or sleep over the costs. And you can bet they’re relying heavily on the £1/$1 introduction price to get people to sign up in a hope they forget to cancel, or are so happy with it the stick with it or got to Ultimate. If it was making them massive losses, it would have been wound up months ago... ...
If they were clever, every single one of those units would have a leaflet with details about the upgrade program for the X and Scarlett. I don’t think they’d be that well organised though. All those S units in peoples homes and the users are being told they can get the next gen console at a discount if they trade it in next year? First thing you’d remember when standing in the shop looking at both next gen consoles if the price points are similar.
To be fair, everyone had them for between £99-129 but I get what you mean - it is on the cheaper end of the scale.
However, I’d say it was a pretty shrewd move getting Lidl to stock them. Loads of Large-ish Lidl’s in local communities full of people that maybe don’t use Asda, Tesco or Sainsbury’s. Victoria Rd here in Glasgow had sold out of them within 20 mins of opening and Govanhill isn’t exactly super affluent.
Still no official word on the remake, but both the Xbox and Switch are getting VII, IX, X/X-2 and XII Classic releases
Never played the original, but this was surprisingly good fun!
