Woah, Witchfire looks dope. I was internally cracking a joke in my head that it looked like the vanishing of Dark Souls but then it took a couple of turns I didn't expect.

Yeah, that was one hell of a swerve. Dark Souls FPS by the people who made Bulletstorm? gently caress yes.

P5 seems fun and hella stylish from the hour you're allowed to play while the rest downloads. Couldn't tell from the little tutorial dungeon -- is this the kind of RPG where you're rewarded for exploring every nook and cranny of the world (or just the dungeons) with items or secrets or can you more or less just head for the objectives?

does anyone have any idea what Death Stranding is supposed to be about because I sure as hell don't
It's an open world third person shooter where the online community pieces together the narrative and game puzzles like PT. You play Norman in a coma who thinks he is trying to save his baby boy by taking down 5 angels. When in reality, he's being manipulated by Del Toro and fed lines to do his bidding while in this alternative reality. Your mission is to take down the 5 angels/ludens which are played by other famous actors. The player questions good and evil, the origin of man, and all that esoteric/exoteric fun conspiracy theory/mystery school stuff. In the end you realize you are the bad guy when it's already too late.

there are treasure you can find that are just random poo poo to sell. there are treasure chests you can find that have items that are sometimes quite good and sometimes whatever. the dungeons are designed so that you don't have to go out of the way much to 100% them but they're not linear either, which is a nice blend in my opinion

there are some locked chests in every palace that you need to craft lockpicks at your place to open, that's probably the closest thing to that

They didn't. Vanishing was by a new studio with some people that worked on the other two (though, importantly, that included the former studio head).

So, the same three people founded both studios, and worked on all of those games, but they didn't make them :confused:

I specified that in my post after. I wasn't implying that only 3 people worked on those games.

Only emojis can express my pure, simple stupidity.

Shocking email from amazon about my FF7 pre-order:

quote:

Final Fantasy VII: Remake - PlayStation 4"
Estimated arrival date: December 31, 2018”

So I guess I’ll wait until this time next year when I get the annual “lol sorry next December” email

I know it’s a placeholder I just feel like we won’t see this game for 10 years. I do believe it will come out, there’s too much $ to gain (I think at least)

That is what your first post read like (not literally 3 people, but the same team). I didn't see your follow up.

50 thousand people used to live here. Now, it's the Mushroom Kingdom.
You can tell Kojima doesn't really stray away from his MGS roots. Even the way cutscenes are directed is 1:1 in the style of Phantom Pain

Or rather MGS has always been a testing ground for his ideas because Konami doesn't give him any money to do other games.

Thanks for the P5 answers, it seems like a rad game that makes me glad I bought a Playstation instead of an Xbox several years ago when I made my console decision from scratch not owning one for a few generations.

So did HZD sweep everything and Nier get snubbed every time?

Renoistic posted:

Random question. I think I remember Haley Joel Osment talking about the writing in Kingdom Hearts during an interview. That he saw the Square employees desperately trying to piece together a story from Nomura's insane ramblings, and saying something to the effect of 'and that's when I realized video games are art.'

Is that quote real? I can't find anything about it but I have livid memories of reading it a long time ago.
The quote is real, it's from a Reddit AmA he did. However judging from his immediate reply to that he may have been joking.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


HZD didn't win anything, actually. Nier did get best soundtrack.

Oh wow, that's a surprise. At least Nier got the one category it should have. Competition was pretty close this year though, but guess new franchises can't really compete with something like Zelda anyway.

I realize these are dumb, glorified and pointless awards but I still can't totally convince myself to not care about them.
