I hope the backlash from critics and fans is enough to convince them that that idea is no good and that even for the biggest developers you have to make an effort or your hard-earned reputation starts to slip.
I think it’s obvious though that the ‘Definitive Editions’ were done by their B-team, probably outsourced to completely unconnected companies overseas, if I understand how modern development works. They must’ve known what it was like, or how development was going, so why didn’t they just limit it to one game at a time, as others have suggested? That seems like such a no-brainer of a decision and nobody would’ve minded at all. I never thought we’d see the day where Rockstar are issuing a public apology for the state of one of their games at launch. Sonic Frontiers really does look a lot like Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
I really can’t see them doing multiple chapters, like with Final Fantasy 7, so that means leaving a lot on the cutting room floor.
So they must be talking about a remake, but if it’s a full remake why not start with Chrono Trigger? It’d take just as much effort and Trigger is actually relatively short for a Japanese role-player, at around 20 hours, while Cross is at least twice that. I don’t see how a remaster could possibly work with pre-rendered backgrounds, let alone block PS1 3D graphics (although, to be honest, Chrono Cross was quite the looker for the time). Well, the Elden Ring one will definitely be on the Bandai Namco shop, which already has some exclusive items for the game.īringing back Chrono Cross is such a nonsensical idea it sounds like exactly the sort of thing that will happen. They are of a very high standard and if I can get one for Elden Ring I’m absolutely going to.įunny thing is that I don’t use them that much for the actual games, it’s sort of like a magpie thing where I want the shiny thing. The Horizon Zero Dawn guide was good quality but the FromSoftware hardcover collector’s edition guides for Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice are even better. I was more wondering if there are any specific sites for them that I may not be aware of. When I wrote in to ask about the collector’s edition strategy guides I wasn’t imagining that they would be on sale now. You can also get a physical Switch version of Loop Hero from Special Reserve Games on December 9th for a month.
You can get physical versions of Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic for Switch and PC from Limited Run for just under two months (pre-order only). Just a quick message to say The Rubber Keyed Wonder – 40 years of the ZX Spectrum documentary has been successfully funded, it raised £100,410(!) on Kickstarter. The whole thing is such a mess and yet only a year ago they were still one of the biggest games publishers in the world. It makes me wonder if another outcome of all this might be a split between Activision and Blizzard, and maybe another company buying up Blizzard. If Call Of Duty goes down then so does Activision, because they don’t do anything else. Hopefully his replacement will realise that it’d be a good idea to make more than one game and not have all your eggs in one basket. Of course he’d be leaving just as Call Of Duty starts on a downward path, so he can claim that everything was fine on his watch. There’s a reason he’s the only CEO most gamers have heard of and it’s a history of making awful comments and treating gaming as simply a way to increase his own personal wealth. I take great cheer from the idea that Bobby Kotick is probably going to be out of a job within a few months, with a bit of luck before Christmas.
I don’t know anyone that uses a PC to play games and I’d much rather have games that are cheat free than use mods or whatever the other supposed benefits of PC gaming are.Ĭross-play between PlayStation and Xbox is great but nobody ever asked to involve PC gamers and it seems that all they do is try and ruin a good thing.
It could easily ruin the game, as it’s ruined Call Of Duty, and I don’t understand why companies are so adverse to just locking PC gamers out? It’s not like they wouldn’t be able to play their games properly, they’d just have to do so with other PC owners, who know the risks from cheaters before the starter.Īs a console gamer I don’t want anything to do with the PC players.
Hearing that the cheaters have already cracked Halo Infinite is might depressing to me.
I think I’ll go for the Xbox Series S though, especially if I can find a half decent deal on the day itself. I don’t want to just get something for the sake of it but on the other hand I feel I’ve got money burning a hole in my pocket. Or a Nintendo Switch OLED Model, which if I was going to get one is the one I’d get. But of course you can’t buy a PlayStation 5 either.
