Maybe the Switch will get a port of Persona 5, I'll believe it when I see it.

Looking likely it could end up on Switch & I'm gonna say Xbox too. Won't be double dipping anyway as I just didn't enjoy playing P4 Golden on a Vita as much as I would have on a home console.

Gain Ground is out on the Japanese eshop, picked it up out of curiosity.... Possibly a waste of money as it's cack.
I'm eagerly awaiting Virtua Racing at this point....

Assassin's Creed Remasters Coming To The Nintendo Switch

It's from Doctre81, who has been right before and it's games that we've previously heard are rumoured to be coming to the Switch. Namely Assassin's Creed 3 and Liberation Remastered. I think it won't be limited to just those two. There's IV, Rogue, Unity and possibly Syndicate.

How is a service a game?? Especially when your first and second choice are on it....

I've probably finished less than 10 new games this year and even under that restraint RDR2 ain't the best of them.

super_furry · 29-12-2018 2:33pm

Straying off-topic but I was deeply disappointed by Red Dead Redemption 2. Played it for 40-odd hours and just go so bored with it.

It says product so I guess that's how they count it.

I've finished more than 10 this year but none from this year.

GOTY = Game of the Year, has nothing to do with products.
Forza and Sea of Thieves are included since day one on Gamepass too at no additional cost so why put it 3rd.

CiDeRmAn · 29-12-2018 3:08pm

Astrobot is well deserving of its accolades, and the PSVR was widely felt to be another false dawn for new tech, then had some cracking releases over the year.
A Switch and a PS4 with the VR headset is a great combo, a gaming PC too if you can afford it.
Forza Horizon 4 is just stupid good.

nix · 29-12-2018 3:09pm

Well... its not like Xbox had anything better to put in its place anyway

:pac:

More rumours about Persona 5 on Switch. The leaker goes by the nickname MysticDistance, has been verified by mods on resetERA forums and says that:

1. P5R will be announced after the "Dark Sun..." OVA.
2. P5R is P5 for Switch.
3. Switch exclusivity is likely from my interactions, but not solidly confirmed as the above are. It could very well be Switch/PS4. All I know for a fact is that it is a Switch title.
4. The release window I was given does not suggest a release early on in 2019. I won't post it in the off-chance that it was subject to change, something I wouldn't be able to verify at this moment sadly.

Plus,

"Also, it's coming worldwide in 2019. Info I was given suggests a relatively quick turnaround compared to prior Atlus titles, something that Atlus themselves claimed they were working on doing with future titles earlier this year."

https://www.resetera.com/threads/possible-‘persona-5-r’-announcement-imminent-official-domain-updated.89393/page-50#post-16390326

A worldwide release should be relatively easy given that most in not all of the localisation is done, dependent on whether they add anything to this version. It's all rumour at this point.

Xenji · 30-12-2018 5:00pm

Well the Persona reveal was an announcement of an announcement later in March next year, PS4 logo only shown and no mention of the Switch.

P5R Notice

Persona 5R has been announced by Atlus. No mention of Switch, just a PlayStation logo at the start. Maybe a Switch announcement will come at a later date. It seems that it'll release in Japan at least in March of next year.

If you thought Banjo was under pressure from Dark Souls, just wait until he tries Cuphead!

'EVERYTHING'
by Irish film maker and artist David OReilly.
Released on eShop on Thurs 10th Jan. Currently €12.99 €10.39

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY-cEIijw2I

Really looking forward to it personally.
I've enjoyed pretty much all of OReilly's work up to now.
Appears to be a more of meditative, philosophical art piece than a game with a specific point or goal though.
Might be worth checking out if you've any interest in introspective games, or Eastern philosophy seeing as it's narrated by the British philosopher Alan Watts, whose works I'd also highly recommend

Mr E · 02-01-2019 1:47am

It looks interesting (and from the last frame, it won lots of awards).
The tumbling animals look a bit stupid though.

CiDeRmAn · 02-01-2019 10:01am

I've already pre-ordered, after the PS4 release in 2017 I should have bought it, but it slipped through the gaps, so the Switch version seemed like a must have.
I never knew that it was made by an Irishman, not that it matters, but it's always nice to support our own.
