There was a trademark leak for Onimusha a while back. It seemed to hint at a remaster/compilation. Ghosts combat does seem slower paced like Onimusha but Onimusha had heavy horror vibes especially the first one. I am sure there will be some creepy moments in Sekiro but it seems more of an action game thus far.

Big same. I think I just restarted the game at that point.

I would love an Onimusha remaster. Those were some solid games on PS2 and Xbox.

Yeah its' not too far from the start if I remember rightly? Man now I want to play Onimusha again.

gently caress those sliding puzzles though, the one in Fantastic Dizzy is another bastard, I'm sure theres one in Myst or maybe Riven as well?

No one man should have all that Psycho-Power.

Wait, so is this year of the Samurai, or year of the fake arm? I know the one game counts as both though.

Other random things:

1. 5:30 pm EST is "Bandai namco fighting dojo" with Harada, Okubo(soul calibur director) and Keighly so expect that to be where the SC6 release date is announced and maybe some other stuff? They dodged all the earlier Soul Calibur 6 stage show hard questions with "it will be announced at e3" so I figure this is it.

2: Is ghosts of Tsushima set in the first or second Mongol invasion? First invasion went all the way bad for Tsushima, 2nd one was a Japanese victory though.

It can't be the year of the fake arm without some kind of bionic commando re-reboot, so Samurai... for now.

Oh, say it ain't fuckin' so,
you stupid fuck!
I'm excited for all the games except for Kingdom Hearts because I've never played it before and it looks kind of lame, though the gameplay looks decent/fun. Might get the whole collection later if they do a physical release.

I just keep wondering whether Ghost of Tsushima will have a Japanese voice over because, boy, does the fake Japanese accent sound bad and out of place as hell. Since they already got Mongolian speakers (I assume they're native, can't tell) it would only make sense to go the whole nine yards.

Same. Game discs can handle dual audio tracks now so I sure hope so. The developers have to be aware that at least a fraction of their audience will want it as an option.

If it makes anyone feel better about AssCreed, you probably don't want all the extra poo poo anyway. I only played Unity after the complete version came out and all the extra stuff got patched in. All of the bonus missions we're cookie cutter garbage and it made the map an explosion of poo poo that made it nearly impossible to figure out what you were actually supposed to do next.

I think Syndicate and Origins toned it down some but you're probably not missing out on anything special if you choose the basic edition.

That said anyone who doesn't want to support that poo poo I completely understand.

Wasn't very impressed with the Sony conference. Obviously, the games they showed were great, but there was way too much other stuff. Just show the dang-on games. Sony is usually really good about this.

Microsoft's conference was Microsoft's conference, nothing out of the ordinary. Don't care too much about their exclusives, but I did like some of the other games they showed off (Cyberpunk, Dying Light 2, etc).

Come on, Nintendo, kick rear end again this year. Just avoid the weird stuff.

RE1 is an excellent game and an excellent port, the QoL improvements they made (widescreen support, non-tank controls) make a big difference and the HD up-rez looks great.

I assume RE0 is the same port quality, but it's wasn't a great game in 2002 and easily the worst classic style Resident Evil.

I don't know about Origins because I tapped out of AssCreed after Syndicate because it was also a map awash in icons where the good missions were indistinguishable from the cookie cutter stuff and it all felt like a chore constantly broken up by score screens which took all the joy out of having an open world with wild traversal.

I'm sure that scene that happens right at the end of the trailer will have some really gross dialogue in the full game

This is terrible, I always wanted to play the original Catherine but I honestly can't trust Atlus to handle Rin in a sensible way. There probably won't be an "Original Story Mode" in it either.

Origins is a 180 flip on the mission quality. The side missions feel similar to the main ones because they took the Witcher approach of having everything either super intriguing or highly amusing. It gets you in the action so much better. Syndicate had amazing characters and a great setting but god drat it was just a pile of 500 different things all thrown into a blender with no focus at all I’d love to see those characters revisited but I don’t see it happening.

(only I'm) speaking of a gay theban Odyssey protagonist instead of a boring spartan one:

has there been a big game with a gay male protag? Maybe bioware games if they count?

tLoU has people excited for a lesbian lead but I feel like lesbians aren't that uncommon in games since straight men are attracted to two women kissing but not two men kissing. I can't really think of one. IIRC even in ballad of gay tony you didnt actually play as the titular gay tony.
I just want to imagine the nerd reaction if tLoU2 trailer had opened with joel tenderly open mouth kissing another man, now that woulda been brave

"Trap" is a slur referring to a person who presents feminine (or, more simply, "looks like a woman"), but has a penis. I'm sure you see why that's a real lovely thing to call someone.

iirc it originates on 4chan or somewhere similar where they trick eachother into masturbating to photos of men and thus making eachother catch the gay

Isn't Assassin's Creed Origins about the founding of the group even before they were called assassins?

Yet they're going even further back in time. That'd make Odyssey a game with neither Assassins nor a Creed

At this point it's just a brand they're using for stupid period piece games and that's fine by me. Odyssey looks pretty as gently caress and something I'd probably get when it's like $30 on flash sale next year.
