Bluebird Hewitt Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 Nintendo coming up with the most unexpected announcement (for me at least) for E3. A remake of Advance Wars and Advance Wars: Black Hole Rising on Switch. I was not expecting that in the slightest. Would have been nice to see a new game, but I'll happily play these. I think I recommended the first one at least to @Dr. Gonzo a little while ago. 2 Quote

Yeah its a 2D platformer but atleast they cared enough to give us something there after all the delays. Quote

Can't remember how long though. 9 hours ago, Dr. Gonzo said: You did, and it was a great game. I'll play these remakes. I'd like to see online multiplayer and being able to share user created maps online, as I know the first game had a map creator (can't remember if the second game had it). I'll be very surprised if either happen though. Quote

The first one is pretty dated at this point, the controls and movements where pretty bad from memory. Hitman 2 improved upon pretty much everything and imo Hitman 3 Blood Money is really the franchises coming out party, its a fantastic game. I wasnt a big fan of Absolution but the revamp Hitman and Hitman 2 for ps4 where both pretty good. 1 Quote

I played Mafia 3 which was from 2016 and that was really good. Quote

Like I said literally everything improves under Hitman 2.. but makes sense it was the original and a sort of new ish kinda style game. The stealth was a major part of the first 2 If I remember later on they kinda open that up and you give you many many options on how to do things, which I enjoyed alot more. Quote

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted July 9, 2021 Subscriber Posted July 9, 2021 Fascinating how a simple input mechanic totally breaks the buffer check on a fighting game and more importantly, allows you to be even more evasive without the game actually allowing it. Quote
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted July 12, 2021 Subscriber Posted July 12, 2021 https://kotaku.com/resident-evil-village-pirate-says-cracked-release-fixes-1847266974 Apparently DRM disabling caused the game to perform much better, true shocker. But, what is the real icing on the cake in the comments section is how Capcom, in their infinite wisdom, thought it was better to implement their own DRM on top of a another DRM VM an expect great performance. It's almost as if people who dont understand software make these games. Quote

I always find it ironic that in an effort to stop piracy on a game, developers somehow make the game run shitter on a legit copy, but pirates manage to make it run smoothly on a pirated copy. 1 Quote

The real question now is what all can't it play and how long its battery lasts in real-time plus with the PC landscape changing far more erratically than the console landscape how does this thing last. Also, I can't stand that button placement being all the way at the top with those big pads in the way, call me old-fashioned but touch gaming on a hand-held is still miles away from being a thing. 1 Quote

Pretty much the same for me really. I'm quite interested in this if it's mainly a portable Steam mind. 2 Quote

Tbh, this doesn't surprise me too much. Not sure if it's the male dominance or just the general attitude of the industry really. Edited July 22, 2021 by Bluebird Hewitt Quote
