Craig H Posted September 12, 2020 Posted September 12, 2020 Darksiders was pretty awesome even though it blatantly ripped off Ocarina of Time. Maybe this will be good in the same way? 1

Eoae Posted September 12, 2020 Posted September 12, 2020 6 hours ago, RIPPA said: So apparently Immortals: Fenyx Rising borrows heavily from Breath of the Wild I thought that was common knowledge (or, at least commonly assumed). There was talk last summer about how heavily it seemed to be inspired by BoTW. IRRC, the designers even admitted it. Actually, Ubisoft says elements of the game were re-imagined since the first trailer debuted last year, so I'm guessing early builds owed even more to Zelda. Here's the E3 2019 trailer (which doesn't show any actual gameplay): I was actually more interested when I thought it was a straight-up Zelda riff. I also dislike the new title, for what that's worth. I'm interested but going to wait for reviews.
Casey Posted September 12, 2020 Posted September 12, 2020 Alanah Pearce has gameplay on her YouTube channel, FWIW. Not for me, but I imagine some might like it. The art style definitely isn't my thing.
RIPPA Posted September 12, 2020 Author Posted September 12, 2020 Eurogamer is were I saw my footage The things that I remember are like Breath of the Wild (and obviously some other games) in the game play shown - Immediate open world where you can go where you want (and punishment if you go to the wrong area too early) - a stamina meter that controls how much climbing/running/etc.. - You get a pair of wings that allow you to glide around the map - Lots of "move objects with your "force powers" puzzles - More enemies spawn at night time and are tougher
Eoae Posted September 12, 2020 Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) Kena: Bridge of Spirits has been delayed unti Q1 2021, so it's no longer in the PS5 launch window. https://www.pcgamer.com/kena-bridge-of-spirits-is-delayed-to-2021/ Edited September 13, 2020 by Eoae Just realized a made a typo in the game name. 1

Jiji Posted September 12, 2020 Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) Sony has a showcase for the ps5 Wednesday 1 PM Pacific. Jokes abound about them avoiding a release date and pricing. 40 minutes in length showing off upcoming games. I really hope they announce that Demons Souls is a launch title.

If they announce that Demon's Souls is a launch title and there's a release date/price....shit, I really don't want another next-gen console. I'm not sure where I have room for it. No, I don't have any Funkos. 1 1

Jiji Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 Who approved of these naming schemes? Scarlett was waaaay better. 1

Cliff Hanger Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 Reviews of Spelunky 2 amount to "more of the same in the best possible way" so it looks like tonight is my final daily run in the original game for a while. 1

There hasn't been much originality to console names since. I actually like the 360 name, but it's hard to keep the One, the One S, the Series S, and the Series X straight.
Jiji Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast were really wonderful names for gaming machines. 5
Zimbra Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 The best console name was Gamecube, because it was a Cube what played Games. Did exactly what it said on the tin.

Yep, and they get bonus points for being the only system to just stick a number after the name for every generation and call it a day. 5
jaedmc Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 After the first Xbox I have no idea what comes next, and despite having just read that tweet I'm not exactly sure what the name of the next one is. 1 1
RIPPA Posted September 14, 2020 Author Posted September 14, 2020 I still remember how everyone was CONVINCED that after 360 it was gonna be 720 and then they go HERE IS THE XBOX ONE!!!!! And everyone was all WTF?!?!?! 1
Jiji Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 So in that new dumb PS5 commercial with all the ships and such, there's an airship that looks an awful lot like the Final Fantasy III/VI airship and I just... PLEASE. There are loads of rumours about Wednesday's PS5 stream having some sort of a Final Fantasy reveal. I would be sooooo happy. Samoa Joe says III/VI is his GOAT. It's up there for me. Great characters, awesome villain, incredible specials and styles, soundtrack, world. What a beauty. I'm sure we're seeing what we want to see and I doubt they reveal a remake when they haven't even finished the FF7 remake yet but I can dream dammit! Still real, etc. Can it be Wednesday and then November 20th yet? 2

Other channels include GVMERS, Nick930, The Gaming Historian, amd strafefox. All are absolutely top-notch. Just remembered a couple more awesome channels: Thomas Game Docs - tend to be more bite-sized but also offbeat. Game Sack - not documentaries but so much quality information and humor 1
