I’m pretty sure it does, yes. I’d never play an RPG demo if I just had the replay the intro all over again.

A time traveler stumbles into the world, disoriented. Wild eyed, he scrambles to find something, anything to tell him when he is now. So many attempts, so many failures.

Also worth noting - there’s a great demo for the game available that includes the first portions of three of the chapters (Imperial China, Edo Japan, Future), each of which seems to be about 30-45 min worth of the respective stories. I’ve only done two of them so far, but Imperial China was some of the most thoughtful…

Modern Nintendo Fanboys: “IT’S BEEN XX WEEKS SINCE THE LAST DIRECT, WHY DOES NINTENDO HATE ITS FANS???!!!”

“Hey, maybe these unprecedented and severe global heat events will force politicians to start dealing with the growing climate emergency now that there are massive and immediate financial and logistical consequences?”

I’d love if they did this again. Compared to the scope of the rest of the game’s features, I can’t imagine this would be hard to implement - have a small dev team that rebalances trainers, gyms, etc for a new game plus mode (or a hard mode from the start). Or add variables - can’t use items in battle, nuzlocke, etc.

I personally think it would be really exciting to have a nonlinear Pokemon game, and I don’t think it’s that hard to imagine. If you show up to a gym, the trainers and leader use different teams and strategies depending on how many badges you have beforehand. Even the routes could ‘scale’ with your progress - maybe…

I never noticed until now that Luke has gigantic Popeye forearms...

A Chun Li with reasonably accurate thigh proportions? #notmychunli

Ahh, I had forgotten about Club Nintendo...RIP to the real one. I wish they’d still let me trade points for weird Picross variants and other cool little games, that’d be way better than a little discount.

Isn’t this similar to the points system that Microsoft has had for a long time for playing Xbox, using Bing, etc? You can redeem those points for gift cards and subscription cards, which I’ve done a couple times. 

I agree - I’m sure EA will push for it to be as realistic as possible, but give us the option to keep these minimal alpha graphics and maybe throw some vaporwave in as an option in the final game.

Like plenty of others have said, the PS3 original (and especially its PS4 port) still look fantastic, and given the choice this is one of the last remasters / remakes I’d have asked for. But also, it’s easy enough to just not buy it - I’ll just play the copy I already own and likely forget this new version ever existed…

I look forward to the reveal trailer for the Switch Pro / New Switch / Switch Too rehashing the first trailer for the Switch, but instead of hip young urbanites playing on a park bench or a rooftop they’re all trapped indoors. A catchy pop song plays as we see brief snippets out their window and news stories on TVs of…

Those poor tigers have been through enough already, we don’t need to poison their diet too. I’m sure those Colombian cocaine hippos would do the trick.

Yeah, this lines up...Ol’ Muskie seems like the type to both refuse to use a condom and refuse to pull out.

It’s cool to see that Atreus is aged up a bit, although my hopes (which only really work if this was a trilogy) were always that each game would have a timeskip so that this becomes a saga about growing up and surpassing your parent. So in my headcanon, this second game has Atreus at roughly the age shown in this…

What a weird example to pick...Mario Odyssey was fantastic from day one and its patches added features rather than fixed bugs. It’s not like it was busted like the Witcher 3 at release and took months to patch up.

I came to say the same thing.
