Gonna have to think about where to preorder my vidyagems from. My neighbours have had odd parcels go missing lately and are concerned someone in the building is a thief, so I'm thinking I should aim to collect stuff from near work if possible just in case.

Probably skipping Sonic Origins for now because I can get that on sale; same with KOTOR 2. FEW Three Hopes, Live Alive and XBC3 will be physical purchases, and Sunbreak is already an eShop preorder.

it doesn't look unfeasible on Switch for what we've seen so far.. or maybe I'm too optimistic?

In general? No, it doesn't look unfeasible

For Sonic Team? I'm not optimistic

Frontiers looks somehow more "Generic Unreal Engine field" than the initial reveal.. and that's with some rings added in the mix

And while I'll wait to judge the gameplay, it looks the usual boost, but with no corridors :\
 
I am politely requesting a quick and dirty trilogy port (or even duology of the last two games) of the TimeSplitters games to Switch.

Online would be a perk but I just want some good FPS games on Switch that are a known quantity.
 
Heroes of Might and Magic 3: Complete is only $2.49 on GOG. It comes with the base game and both expansions, for a total of ~20 campaigns.

Don't even think about it, just buy it. That's hundreds of hours of addictive gameplay cheaper than a latte, and it runs on toasters at this point.

There's a new patent for Pikmin just uploaded, I don't know how to share it though.

Yeah that's like the definition of a no brainer. Anyone who skips this is daffy.

I'll echo this - Get the game.

Probably my most played single player game of all time - Got it on launch day, ran like absolute sheit on my PC but I didnt care.

Yeah if they keep the environmental poly count under control and optimise LOD and hell, even allow relatively close pop-in for the foliage (especially since you'll be blowing past a lot of the ground foliage at speed with blur effects), I would not be surprised if Switch could run this, as long as...

the question is, will SEGA appropriately optimize and prioritize the Switch (and best-selling) version?

...there it is.

NGL, I thought about this.

Sonic Origins will be a good place to start, if you wait till it's on sale maybe.

It was filed in Japan in 2019, looks like it's primarily about using single joycons for multiplayer gameplay where one joycon has fewer buttons than another, and coming up with some kind of system to compensate for having fewer buttons.

I'm having trouble conceptualizing it from the document but it doesn't appear to be specifically focused on Pikmin or anything.

Some of the photos certainly match Pikmin, and the inventors are all Pikmin guys, I think it's Pikmin.

EDIT: Didn't see the Japan filing date, I saw the Mar 11, 2020 date.

From what I can tell it looks like a way to make multiplayer Pikmin work better when playing with a single joycon each. I don't think it's a patent specifically for a Pikmin game, but it seems likely that it was conceived of when developing Pikmin 3 deluxe (that had multiplayer, right?)

I think this is matter of when not if. They'll probably announce the trilogy remaster along with the new game. It's been in dev for some time now, should be close to getting revealed.

I want to be hopeful, but didn't TS4 only just get greenlit back in September 2021? No matter how quick and dirty a port (Even if developed side by side the new official project), I feel like it would need a little more than a year for a reveal+announcement. At best I'd only hope for a reveal in the Autumn Direct and release in Spring 2023 (but it still won't stop me from putting it on E3 bingo cards haha)
 
A trilogy remaster for Timesplitters?

Edit: Yo just checked Sonic Frontiers. Did not expect anything but LOVE IT! Sonic: Breath of the Wild wasn't a game I expected I wanted!

Unlike THQ games, Deep Silver titles get featured on Directs, so why not, sounds like perfect place for TS4 to debut. I expect it to be a smaller budget game, perfectly playable on Switch. It's not a series that someone like Embracer might pour millions on it.

Also worth mentioning: THQ Nordic got Second Sight license 2 years ago but still haven't done anything with it. Maybe Doak and his team were busy with remake/sequel to that? I'll take anything from them, Timespiltters, Second Sight remasters, even that forgotten game Haze...

Will many of the jokes from 2005 in the campaign have aged poorly? Of that I have no doubt. Will the game mechanics still be as solid as ever? The precise reason why I want to play it

That's a good point actually, didn't even realize that was the case. And yeah, the games are fun but going for a more cartoonish perspective means they don't really need a high budget for photorealistic graphics (in fact I hope they keep the weird human proportions). I really hope we do see news one way or another (if not, at least I have the second and third game to play on my as-yet-unpurchased Xbox Series X lol)

Posted my thoughts in the other thread but, my god, this is the most "HIRE THAT MAN!!!" game ever judging from these. I'm sure there'll be more zones like it but, damn, it's blatant here lol. I'm optimistic, though!

For real, I feel Timesplitter, next to Halo and Half-life maybe, got the most solid single player mode ever for a shooter. Also, tha arcade mode is crack, C R A C K I tell ya! If the arcade mode has online leader boards and a 'challenge a friend' mode or something like that, I go crazy!

Yeah this is it for me, the first thing I thought when I saw the trailer earlier... 'this has the strongest vibes of hire this man I have ever seen' haha

Thanks to you, just today I've reinstalled Civ IV and Heroes III.

This Nintendo thread is surely making me play a lot of PC games, I'm afraid there's a mole in there

That's because late 80s to early 2000's PC gaming was the pinnacle of all gaming, and everything else fails to compete.







I am not a mole
