Any word on when MXGP 3 gets released?
Did a google search but all I can see is "later this year".
Looks really good. Might be tempted by this one.

Mr E

New Metroid Castlevania Mummy Demastered is out today.

This was the first review that I've seen. Very positive. A little bit short (5-6 hours) but it sounds like it ticks all the boxes otherwise.

It has a bit of a Dark Souls vibe in that

if you die, you go back to the previous checkpoint as a new soldier (with starting weapons and abilities), and you have to defeat your previous incarnation to get all your gear back. If you keep dying, you have more old versions to defeat.

Clever.

So, in a nutshell, it's short, enjoyable and pays deference to those of it's genre that have gone before.

Nothing like the movie then!

Some piss-take from Microids asking for €30 for Syberia. It's a 15 year old game available for a fraction of that on everything else. I would have bought it if it wasn't such a rip-off.

As long as it doesn't contain infuriating levels of difficulty like Wolverblade

God this looks fantastic. Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King. Out in the Winter.
Wears its influences on its sleeves, that's for sure.

Minus the 4K on Switch, naturally, but otherwise hopefully the same.

I never finished this on the Xbox. Maybe put 4 hours into it.
Is it worth it?

Not according to mos

If you've already lost interest after 4 hours its probably not going to be any better this time

Sonic Forces - Switch vs. PS4 - Visual Comparison Video (Direct-Feed Footage)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FJ_ci6AiS8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FJ_ci6AiS8

The differences are noticeable. I get that the Switch version started later than the others but still. It seems like they're rushing it, remember the game runs at 30fps and in 720p both docked and undocked. Whereas it's full HD and 60fps for the other versions. I thought otherwise it would look the same. At 1:28 shows the most striking difference. I'll get a couple of screengrabs in a few minutes.

Look who's back sligeach.

But anyone I don't compare it to the ps4 as it's a total different console!!!!!.

The switch is a 2 in 1 while the ps4 is a console. Tell me can I play sonic on my ps4 while I have a poo ?. No I can't on my switch I can. You won't even notice the diff due to the screen diff anyway.

As regards to 30 FPS rachet and clank on the ps4 only runs in 30FPS and on the pro in 4k and HDR it's one of the best games I have ever played. I don't expect the same on the switch I expect something that I can pick up and play for 20 mins and put down .....

CiDeRmAn

It's Sonic Forces.
It can be in 4k with HDR and THX surround but it's still the same dreadful gameplay they've had since the Dreamcast titles and it remains trash.
The only time 3D Sonic worked was the hub world on Sonic Jam, on the Saturn.
I know because I own it!

30fps + 720p docked + significant loss in visual fidelity does smack of a lack of optimisation. Most games making the jump to Switch have only had to make one or two of those concessions. It does not bode well, and that's before you factor in that it's a 3d Sonic.

ShadowHearth

You really worried about sonic games quality? Sonic? You know, the game franchise, which is pretty much a standard, when it comes to poor quality games?

I personally really dont care about all these multiplatform games on switch. If they are pure console ports with lowered down fidelity, then I am good with it. Its not like vita, which had multiplatform game cut down versions, not the real thing for full price. That was the reason it went tits up. Switch can give full multiplatform games in handheld form. Fantastic.

What really grinds my gears, is how they port old multiplatform games to switch. They are putting games that you can get on any platform for less then 15 quid now, but on switch its 60eu. Yes, its new for platform, but its old game, that I wont buy for full price. I feel like I am not the only one. Then publishers of these games will say: well, we port games to this platform and they still dont sale, so why we bother, lets abandon this crapy platform.
Thing is issues will be not the cut down graphical fidelity or performance, but the actual price.
I still havent played new doom. I would gladly buy it on switch and play it handheld, but why on earth I would pay 60 quid for it when its on ps4 sale for 11 quid right now.

If you porting old game to switch, then price it accordingly.

Mr.Saturn

All this sass and I'm still here thinking Sonic Colours (Wii) is one of the best 3d platformers of the last generation.
