I’m a huge fan of their Deus Ex and Tomb Raider games, and this type of narrative game style is right up my alley, so this actually makes me more excited for the game personally.

If it does hopefully DC will finally give us more than just Batman and Injustice in response. 

I’m hoping the success of Spider-Man/Miles Morales has shown Marvel that that is what people want to play, and not live service games like Avengers. And that in turn, it reflects in the developers and publishers they chose to license their IPs to.

Guardians of the Galaxy releases for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on October 26.

Between this and the Avengers game there is something unsettling about the character design. Like the developers were told to make them look as close to the MCU cast without entering likeness fee territory

iirc it wasn’t stated that it was after all three, but that they left it ambiguous, presumably so they’re not boxed in by explicitly stating it (though logically it can only be Downfall, and that’s where it fits best thematically).

I remember when “Breath of the Wild” was announced, people were like what the hell does that even mean. But still I’ll bet you the sequel will either be “X of the Wild” or “Breath of X” just to keep clear continuity.

Would that make it considerably more expensive? And therefore less of a sell to PS5 owners?

Seconded. But “you can play VR using the PS5 console you already have” is still a good selling point, I’d say it’s part of the reason the first PSVR did well.

Heads up, that’s Hiroshi Nagahama, the director, in the video.

We call it the Zelda cycle. Every game in the series goes through phases of being loved, hated and loved again by the vocal fanbase.

I might have a different opinion on Skyward Sword because I’ve played it relatively recently (as one of the 12 people that owned a Wii U, and I only sold that off about three years ago... Never owned a Wii, so that was my first time playing SS). It’s not my favorite Zelda, and the Wii version had some janky controls,…

Not that it was an especially high bar to clear, but Nintendo’s presentation handily blew everyone else’s show outta the water.

I know right? I was kinda bummed when he pretty much said “Prime 4 still in dev” and was willing to turn off the stream but stayed anyway because they said they got some Metroid.

I didn’t expect to see Prime 4 yet, sadly, all I was hoping for was Prime Trilogy or some kind of 2D collection...hell, I’d have taken an Other M remaster (that game sucks because of the story, but the gameplay is solid).

What I was not in a million years expecting was Nintendo resurrecting Dread.

As a Metroid mega-nerd…

Yeah, I was bummed about that. I was hoping they’d turn the tables and she would have to save link or at least giving the option to switch to her or something. It’s disappointing that they chose to go the safer (and more boring) route of just going with Link again.

Discs don’t get Xbox Play Anywhere (cross-buy), simple as that. It’s unfortunate, and it wouldn’t have been the case if Microsoft had kept with their Xbox One DRM system in full, instead of getting rid of the good parts and keeping the bad parts.

Digital titles can be cross-buy with PC. Physical media is more limited.

Exactly.  This is like when people say “I don’t see race.”  Well then it’s no fucking wonder you don’t recognize your own racism.
