Well Sony tried to do exactly what this is doing with the Vita, remote play was a huge element of it when it was first unveiled and then integrated at a system level when the PS4 came out

But that just makes the whole secrecy thing sillier in a way.

I mean it'll definitely have multiplayer like GTA5, but GTA5 was still a fully-featured singleplayer game. Moreso than GTA4 was, for that matter.

People who are fretting at this stage are being dumb

Red Dead Redemption beat GTA 5 to it by several years, at that!

The secrecy idea probably came from the same department that sends out those cease and desist letters.

I wonder if the screen on the Switch will be able to be used like a Wii U screen. I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to leave that behind but if it could that would go a long way towards it being backwards compatible with the Wii U.

Red Dead Redemption had a fully featured multiplayer that had more gamemodes than GTA 5 has how many times must I say this

GTA 5's online is still real good without giving them a cent, and regardless of their moneygrubbing they don't withhold any of the gameplay

What, you mean like you can turn the TV off? Because its portable so ... it definitely works that way.

Or do you mean touchscreen?

Oh you mean having 2 different video feeds, dual screen style. Well, it probably can from a technical standpoint, so it's just seeing if/which games use it.

This got me looking up Rockstar's legal troubles and I had forgotten about the one by former dev Leslie Benzies.

http://www.polygon.com/2016/4/14/11428072/the-great-grand-theft-auto-lawsuit-explained

A choice quote from the article which is a claim by Benzies:

"Benzies alleges that Sam Houser sent him the following email message. "PLEASE help me/us get [Read Dead Redemption] into shape. I am a jabbering wreck right now. I need The Benz!" The way he tells it, 'the Benz' stepped in and saved the day."

Of course it could be a bunch of bluster but I who knows. I guess Redemption 2 will show how much R* has learned without Benzies.

As much poo poo as I give Nintendo, I'll get a switch because it has a new 3D Mario game. Still, I won't be getting it launch because it's extremely likely I'll still be really busy with Persona 5 and/or Nier II at that point.

Sorry if there's a better thread for this but I can't find it and this is driving me nuts: I watched someone play a game awhile ago that I wanted to try for myself but I can't remember what the hell it was. It was a PC game from maybe the 90s where you manage a tribe or village or something sending people out to gather, barter, wage war, all that typical stuff. But it had duck people that lived in swamps, maybe? Like actual humanoid ducks. Someone on SA has an avatar of it but I can't remember who. Please help me game goons, you're my only hope.

I really don't see how a home console you can take with you with a bunch of modular options is all that standard.
