stev posted:Yeah I don't get why "playing as a line of Assassins throughout history" wasn't enough on its own. They could still have had connections and some meta elements between the games, but making it a quasi-sci fi Dan Brown thriller was just a bizarre choice. I maintain that the framing device plot doesn’t have to be any more involved than the opening sequence of Robot Chicken, just have a mad scientist grab someone randomly off the street, strap them into the machine, and play through their ancestral memories.

I got Ring fit today, got a good workout in that lasted about half an hour. I was exhausted and drenched in sweat. Burned enough calories to wipe out one double stuffed oreo. Good game! I'll stick with it, although some things were hard to see in the 2nd world because of my declining eyesight and small screen (using an old pc monitor rather than a real tv).

Has tons of collectibles to keep them busy too and harder difficulties if they ever get bored. I would also suggest DK: Tropical Freeze. Some people may find it tough, but I think it's attractive and fun enough (and generous enough with Free Lives) that a child with infinite time will happily struggle through it. Also it has tons of collectibles. It's the perfect equivalent to me cutting my teeth on DKC 1+2 when I first started playing video games.

I wonder why Nintendo won't just release a quick and dirty port of Paper Mario 64 and TTYD alongside origami king, or just in general, at like $30 and $40 a pop? The effort wouldn't be trivial but its definitely doable, Sony and Microsoft are kings of hashing out 1:1 or barely upscaled ports and I absolutely adore them for this. It's not like they don't also crank out the occasional full remake like Nintendo. Hell, we're STILL waiting for stupid obvious ports like 3d world. And third party companies are more than happy to unload their back catalogues on the eshop so cmon Nintendo get with the program Do you guys feel like they desperately need a competent business major or two over there? Or maybe they are happy with the amount of money they're already printing and don't care about even more potential sales, that seems feasible to me too KingSlime fucked around with this message at 03:04 on Jul 16, 2020 |

I think Nintendo is just oddly unenthused about HD ports. A TTYD port would be great, but there are a lot of GameCube ports that would be great, and the only one Nintendo has actually pushed out was Wind Waker. I think they just aren’t comfortable as a company with mid-tier ports that aren’t as spiffy as Wind Waker HD was.

Nintendo has always been weird about their back catalog. Sony is kind of as well but that seems like more incompetence and laziness than just not understanding the market. They started out the PS4 generation offering a few hand selected PSX/PS2 games but stopped basically all support for it. They've been decent about offering their older games via streaming through PSNow though. Sadly it's Microsoft who have been the most progressive with their work to make their previous back catalog available on their current consoles, the back catalog that the least amount of people actually care about.

It's not like they don't also crank out the occasional full remake like Nintendo. Hell, we're STILL waiting for stupid obvious ports like 3d world. I mean the honest answer is "If Nintendo is going to devote a team to doing a HD remaster of a game, they have probably several dozen games that would make them significantly more money than Paper Mario would." If the rumors about HD ports of stuff like Galaxy are true they probably have teams working on those as a much higher priority than Paper Mario 64 and TTYD.

Pretty good posted:I'm still baffled that Sony chose to turn their backs on the pretty large library of PS1 games they put out for PS3/PSP/Vita, even if they had decided you'd have to rebuy them on PS4 it would have been something. The major issue there is that Sony doesn't own the rights or licenses to most of those games. They can't release them without permission from the licenseholders, many of whom have no interest in offering it for a variety of reasons. (Largely because they are either selling it themselves or want to sell it themselves down the line.) It is one of the same things Nintendo deals with in regards to old NES/SNES/64 games. It also has the netflix problem of companies realizing they can just sell the games themselves, so instead of PS1 Classic Final Fantasy 7 now you'll get Final Fantasy 7 for $20 with speed-up and achievements directly from S-E which is much more profitable for S-E.

Years ago Reggie said something to the affect of Nintendo generally doesn't believe in doing "basic" HD remasters of their older titles. If they choose to remaster an older title, it can't just be your standard 4K/30-60FPS + All DLC release but rather something that builds on the original to make it bigger and better. You can see their efforts to improve on the originals with re-releases like Mario Kart 8 DX and Xenoblade Definitive Edition. I find it both nice to see that they treat their back catalogue at times with such reverence but also infuriating that they could probably just slapdash like I dunno an F-Zero GX port onto the eShop and if it had the standards I'd plunk the cash down on it. As for Sony's PS2 Classics on PS4, I've always suspected they were simple feelers put out to see how their older, forgotten franchises like Dark Cloud, Twisted Metal, SIREN, War of the Monsters, etc fared in modern times. I guess it paid off for Destroy All Humans because that got a full remake (but it's not first party).

The XBox BC is pretty much a light remaster. That’s probably the best you could ask for when it comes to support for older games.

I'm sorry I can't find the previous post when you guys told me how to set up an alert for a switch. I tried a few from Google and they were all scams to get my email on a list. Bleh Can you please repost the best methods? There was a Twitter guy and also I think a web bot? I have the money now I just need to find one. I am holding out for a v2 neon though. Maybe add this info to the op?

Wario64 is great if you're looking for Ring Fit or something, but you have to watch that feed like a hawk. It posted earlier today that Ring Fit was on Amazon and I swooped in and grabbed a copy, and by 10 minutes after people were saying it was gone.

RandomFerret posted:Hmm, that is a bit trickier. Still, they could have redesigned the character and just said it was a more detailed model. Valve expects us to believe that these are all the same person, after all: G-Man absolutely strikes me as someone- or something- who'd show up barely recognisable and be genuinely surprised you noticed any change.

The EU PS2 classics for PS3 is all over the place, too. For all of the confusing releases that come from Nintendo (see TG-16 games hitting the Wii U), Sony is the biggest crap shoot in regards to their old library (ex. straight up taking away PS2 BC from PS3 models). The fact that PS4 cannot play PS1 games is really just inexcusable.

I guess they just took it down instead of fixing it.
