I concur, and I haven’t even played through the entire campaign. I have the Xbox One version and the game is so well optimized that it feels like I’m playing it on my GTX 970 PC. The developers did an incredible job with it. The gameplay is varied and fun, and the levels seem to have been designed to get the player to…

I’m not nearly good enough at Rocket League to be involved in that stuff. That said, I did join a Rocket Hockey League team. I played in one official match and I haven’t been asked to play in another one since. And hey, I’m not angry at them for it. I fully recognize that I’m not that good. For one thing, I play in…

I actually didn’t know that, but I doubt it matters. I imagine Nintendo could make a VR glove and call it the Power Glove... or maybe the Power VR Glove if there would be a trademark concern with Mattel.

I tried Thumper on PC and got a Steam refund after playing it for a little over an hour. Maybe my reflexes just aren’t fast enough, but I found that hazards were sometimes popping up faster than I could react to them, which meant that I often had to memorize levels through annoying repetition in order to get through…

QUOTE | “The payment allows us to ensure that we have dedicated staff manning the PlayStation VR pods who have been fully trained to adhere to best practice demo guidelines.” - UK retailer GAME explains why it has been charging customers £5 to £15 to demo PlayStation VR in its stores for up to half an hour.

You make a good point. If you’re right and it ends up being closer to the Wii U in power, then I guess it’ll pretty much be a Wii U redo. Speaking of the Wii U, I’d love to see ports or remasters of Smash Wii U and Mario Kart 8 on the Switch. It’s possible that we got an early look at a revamped Mario Kart 8 in the…

Yeah, it does. That’s the only thing I don’t like about the Switch. I like having both thumbsticks up high for Wii U gaming and I think that design would have worked really well for the Switch.

I have a feeling that the Switch is going to be wildly successful. I imagine Nintendo will support the 3DS through the end of 2017, but I’m thinking it’ll be all Switch all the time after that.

So, okay... A few Japanese idols dressed up as Nazis for Halloween... Halloween, a day in which a lot of people dress up as monsters. Now do some people dress up in random costumes that have nothing to do with monsters or evil in general? Sure. But why can’t we give these girls the benefit of the doubt and say that…

As long as the Switch tablet can churn out Xbox One-level graphics at, say, 720p, I think it’ll be in good shape. And maybe the dock will provide extra processing power for a 1080p experience. I’m not really concerned about the Switch being a really powerful console, but I do want it to be at least comparable to the…

I agree. I think it has to be at least as powerful as the Xbox One in order for it to lock down third-party support for cross-platform titles. Now the portable unit doesn’t have to be quite that powerful if it runs games at, say, 720p on the go. But what I’m hoping is that the dock will increase the Switch’s power to…

I agree. I don’t expect it to have a touchscreen for the reason you mentioned. The experience has to be the same whether you’re playing it on your TV at home or on the portable unit while on the go, so touchscreen functionality on the portable unit would only be good for menu navigation and maybe playback controls for…

The specs are unknown for right now. Actually, the only thing we know beyond what we’ve seen in the trailer is that it’s powerful enough to support Unreal Engine 4.

I’ve thought for a long time that in order for VR to be wildly successful, $300 has to be the high end on pricing. Now if we had a standalone VR console, that would be different. $800 would absolutely make sense for a Vive if you could play games on it without needing to own a decently powerful PC on top of it. But as…

Maybe that’s why I never got back into anime after the mid-2000s. The last new one I was really into was Black Lagoon. That series had some of the best character development I’ve seen in anime, especially when it came to the main character Rock.

I think you may have accidentally replied to me when you meant to reply to Cecilia. Just wanted to let you know.

Actually, her gender is revealed in episode 4 during her origin story. She’s shown as a little girl with long hair and a dress. Besides that, she’s played in the English dub (the only version I watch) by Kelli Cousins, a woman whose voice is unmistakably womanly. So at least in the English dub, Kino sounds like a…
