Collapse.. Is this here cus it looks so shit? Or cus u actually think it looks good?

It looks like it was cobbled together with stock components in Unreal.
Even the footage in their *promo video* looks janky af.
It looks like this will be a buggy mess.

Also just to briefly dip into more subjective issues. The cartoony fantasy characters (which are ok imo) seem completely at odds with the harsh realistic lighting / textures, and also the harsh realistic-seeming hitscan type shooting.

Ps. That post was very negative, but, thats just my honest opinion.
If u think its good and are pumped, then great! As long as u have fun! Thats all that matters.

I am definitely a computer game snob


casualcollapse - 2018-08-23

Yeah I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it just looks fun

The Switch like most of Nintendo's consoles is an underpowered baby toy with last gen graphics and a lame gimmick.

but some of the games are so good and are exclusive.

no I don't know what they are

Graphics hasnt made a difference in whats possible since the early 90's.
For decades anyone could easily have amazing graphics. But game design is what counts.
Some of the best games ever are decades old, still havent been surpassed, and are still as good now. Eg. xcom, deus-ex.
There are a lot of games nowadays that look good but whose designer couldnt game-design their way out of a paper bag.

I finally bought Bushido Blade a couple weeks ago.

In fact I'd say we went through a period from the late 90's to just recent times of *especially* bad games.
When the console and games in general market grew in the 90's big companies got heavily involved and wanted to churn out games. Colleges also wanted to churn out game devs. So we went from games being made by random enthusiast weirdos, to them being made by people who did 'media' courses.. Where they were basically taught film and drama. So we had a generation of games made by people who werent aware or even interested in the strengths of the medium. They tried to make shitty film / game hybrid, working against the mediums strengths.

Things have been getting better recently though. With the indie scene and anyone being able to make and sell a game, its back to the random weirdos.. Guys like Zachtronic industries are making games that make sony, EA, etc look like the shit they are.

It's so mystifying to me how Nintendo's continued success makes some people so furious. The mindless rush toward flashier graphics for the sake of flashier graphics has done nothing to improve video games and I'm glad there's at least one console manufacturer that refuses to play that game.

I mean, I like my Xbox One a whole lot too, but there is no gameplay experience on that console that the Switch cannot replicate. Sure, with some of the higher-end titles you get a slight visual downgrade, but who the fuck cares? I can play Doom 2016 on an airplane now, and empty graphical spectacle is the last thing the industry should be focusing on these days anyway.

They didn't even include a blast processor with the SNES despite the fact that last processing technology had already been available for at least 2 years. The only generation where they had the most powerful system was with the N64.

Bushido Blade fuck yeah!


infinite zest - 2018-08-25

Yeah I loved Bushido Blade too. Besides the inferior sequel, I've yet to find a fighting game like it.


Simillion - 2018-08-23

trying to cash in on that lucrative dia de los muertos market


Old_Zircon - 2018-08-23

This Grim Fandango reboot doesn't really have the charm of the original.


cognitivedissonance - 2018-08-24

More like vore, body transformation, chub and anna markets.


Chicken the Did - 2018-08-24

Yeah, I wasn't going to bring up cultural appropriation but yeah... The skull faces seem so out of place and tacked on too.
