This game has protagonists? All the game pages tell me is its a gacha with dungeon crawler elements, and all I ever see on social media is.....well you know what.
So hearing there are main protagonists is legitimately newsworthy.
@Oram77 Of course it's flaming the community a bit. Switch 2 is stealing the gaming zeitgeist for a moment, so PushSquare needs clicks. The site is affiliated with Eurogamer and by extension DigitalFoundry, who is covering the Switch 2.
Money money money.
@StrickenBiged The irony is this is Alex Battaglia, who famously has nothing nice to say about Switch or consoles in general because he lives, breathes and adores only the finest purebred PCs.
That's if he says anything about them at all. The discussion videos usually amount to him saying "Neat but I dont care".
@Americansamurai1 Incredibly stepping out of the power race looks to have been the right move with how expensive games are to make now, in money and time, and how bloated they get after hitting the graphical ceiling.
Irony being that Nintendo got bodied by the PS2, which by far and away in terms of raw performance was laughable compared to its competition.
I think part of the problem is we've had Playstation fans banging on about how a low wattage handheld device being on par with a PS4 is a bad thing because the games won't look good, despite the games looking damn near identical in most cases to PS4, but apparently that means PS4 games look bad now? This was of course during the rumour phase of the hardware.
The other problem I think is Digital Foundry themselves have put such an immense focus on the tech and performance and how a game looks and basically saying dropping a frame here or there is bad, and it's become so loud that it's now gospel for the quality of a game online. Which it shouldn't be. But they've also never bothered to correct this as just one aspect of why a game is good or bad. They just state the facts and let the console wars use it as ammo, and make bank off of it.
And the final problem, and this will likely become evident as the generation goes on, is how comparing it to the PS4 isn't really the whole story. What we are likely to see is games performing like PS4, some like PS4 Pro and so on. It will be a spectrum and based on technology advancing it'll be quite a broad one too. Will we see PS5 level of detail and resolution with raytracing? No. Youre insane. But will we see stuff thats damn impressive and way above what a PS4 could have delivered, not just in resolution and frame rate (as Switch 2 already surpasses it on both fronts), but in gameplay features too.
All people spent years telling Nintendo was "Do it again but better in every way. We want voice chat, we want better controllers, better performance."
And in interviews they revealed that yes, that was the entire point, they went back and redesigned everything from scratch to do exactly what we, and developers apparently, wanted: the same but better. Developers are used to building for two different profiles now, so give them more power. Games banged on and on about performance, so give it more power.
And so they did that. Better controllers, beefier hardware, 4K support like everyone was asking for, enough performance to deliver games, up to 120fps built into the screen so developers have a reason to develop those modes because it's a guaranteed thing people have access to.
They still innovated. But it wasn't by flipping the table like they had to do with the DS and Wii.
Hell the Switch was hardly innovative. They even said most of the concepts came from older systems and things they did, just smushed together in one device. Even if you look at their games, the amount of games that went from SNES to GBA, N64 to DS, Wii to 3DS, you can see this is what they always aimed for: console performance on the go.
The only unique thing about Switch is how it presented it. Slap on haptic feedback and there you go. 20 years of ideas in a single box.
@Bez87 And that's the perk of a free market. People are free to spend their money on the goods and services they deem worthwhile to them, at prices they deem acceptable, and others aren't at liberty to dissuade them.
Sucks but it's the best we got. Shame most of the world likes telling others how to spend their money eh? Or announcing that they are/aren't buying XYZ thing. At the end of the day, who really cares, what Jim, 40, from South Croydon spends his money on doesn't impact the random forum poster here saying it's overpriced and underpowered.
On topic, Switch 2 will likely be my secondary console. PC is my primary. PS5 is a good desk ornament for the rare game I can't get at better performance on PC.
Well everyone wanted a more powerful system that can do 4K and run modern games and all that jazz. We've been banging on about it for years apparently. Funny how it turns out that might in fact be expensive.
Everyone wanted built in voice chat and now will just "stick with Discord". Ok, then WHY ASK FOR IT?
Consumers are some of the dumbest creatures in existence, banging on and on about how they want one thing, get it and then realise "Actually nah".
Virtual console was bad, it should be a subscription. Actually we want Virtual Console subscriptions are bad. We want a more powerful Switch that can do 4K. What do you mean its expensive?
Always assume the end user is an idiot, and remember they dont know what they want.
Eh, games have been coming with only a few megabytes of data on disc for years now. LA Noire did it on PS4. 4GB on disc. Game would fit on a Blu-Ray. They just didn't because then you'd force a download.
It'd be nice....if you're near a window with direct sunlight and don't mind cooking yourself while playing assuming your hands don't cover the sensors.
Then the other option is leaving it to visually degrade while it charges in sunlight.
Then imagine coming home and finding out it didn't charge because the weather turned.
This is great as a fringe option, because you won't beat just charging the damn thing normally, but if it was the only option you had? Nope. Plus it likely wouldn't be that cheap, and a more expensive way of charging an already expensive controller for what it is given how infamously s*** the battery is probably isn't gonna hit.
Plus, what PlayStation fans would buy this? We all know they don't see sunlight, PornHub reminds us yearly they are gamings biggest w******. You reckon they're going at the one handed rodeo on a windowsill?
@thefourfoldroot1 They were finished over 25 years ago. This is them not bothering to add an OS level feature for those sweet sweet endorphins people crave in this bleak society of desolation, live service and in app purchases.
Interesting to see Wilds sell most on PC, in terms of dollars.
Also weird to compare it to Rise, which launched on one platform and Capcom didn't share digital sales data due to it being on the eShop IIRC, rather than World, which did have accessible digital data and launched on two much bigger platforms at time of release (PS4/Xbone in 2017 Vs Switch in 2021).
@Carnage Sakurai helms a Mario franchise? Last I checked he's been independent for over 15 years and worked on Kirby, Kid Icarus Uprising (independently) and Super Smash Bros.
@Bramble @nessisonett So I just took a quick look on social media - its all porn, so thats not giving me answers. So to the old Wikipedia I go and....3 paragraphs on the gameplay, one stating context for the gameplay in world, one stating 2D Dungeon crawler and 3D action hack and slash (No elaboration on either), and then one mentioning there are Combo attacks and a time of day system.
The rest of the several thousand word article is then on story.
I'm starting to think this might be a choose your own adventure book.
@johncalmc It's Zenless Zone Zero. Rizzless Region Renumerated. ZZZ.
No idea what the game actually is. All I ever see is porn, scantily clad women (And men), and people talking about pulls. At no point have I actually heard anything about.....the game....part of this video game.
Then again, this is also the same people (I assume people, could be AI with the way they're churning stuff out) that made Genshin Impact, which I at least know is some kind of open world thing, and Honkai Star Rail, which much like this, all I know of it is absolutely massive Honkais. Huge badongas.
Seriously I have no damn idea what these games are and no one actually seems to ever report on that. Just new waifus are available now and jiggle physics of a cat's KP nuts.
Not super high, given it still runs rough for no reason for a game that looks as it does on a higher end PC, and its absolute insistence to not let you off the leash for hours upon hours, even when Rise let you do everything with other players from very early on, is baffling.
@themightyant Mate people were talking about Switch 2 a week after the original launched. That system had it real bad. So 4 years for PS6 talk ain't bad, and to be fair, this is a unique situation given how much of a rut this hardware has felt like
"When a game is a late port it's often cheaper or has extras"
Unless you're called Nintendo Switch at which point it's always the same as original launch price or more expensive than originally and the market shows that that's A-OK.
Just upgraded my GPU for this game. Cant wait. Plus I wont need to upgrade any components for another few years (And that's the most expensive one). Currently getting over PS5 Pro performance in the beta, great stuff.
@ButterySmooth30FPS Let's be thankful for what we have.
Several studio closures, layoffs, and no games from these teams that didn't get killed off for at least 10 years due to protracted development times.
@Wardenknight133 I'm starting to think Sony is so dense light bends around them.
We all riff on Xbox for failing to sell hardware and barely getting games out with seemingly endless developer times, but Sony isn't doing much better. Endless hardware releasing, some of it barely supported like VR, and mismanaging and closing studios with lengthy dev times just like Xbox is.
I understand that games are getting more expensive but if they hadn't built a brand on exclusively big expensive pretty games and kept smaller games around even if they didn't perform well, they wouldn't need to be searching for live service gold to make up the shortfall.
But now that shortfall is absolutely massive as a result.
You can't spend billions on studios and live service games in the hopes that one of your 12 games in 5 years is a hit, because you can't pull people from their current live service titles (sunk cost fallacy) and time is limited, but also because the odds of that one hit making up the opportunity cost of all your other games you didn't make, but also the money lost on 11 games you made just in case isn't going to cover it.
Hang on. So if Naughty Dog was working on their scifi game, plus a live service. Santa Monica is working on....something. Guerrilla is working on a live service. Bluepoint was live service. Bend was live service. Sucker Punch is Ghost of Yotei, Insomniac is Wolverine....
They've actually had more live service games in development than anything else across their whole slate this entire time. And the ones they saw fit to release were Helldivers, Concord, Marathon and Fairgames?
