UPCOMING VIDEO GAME RELEASES (2020 & Beyond)

[Death From Above]

The team that did the excellent Death Road To Canada are working on a new game called Cannibal Crossing that I will have to try out at some point: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1304090/Cannibal_Crossing/

Maybe also surprisingly they put out another (maybe last?) big update for Death Road today as well. Cool little company.

It could be due to my wife being obsessed with it but I swear without clicking on the link I at first though they made a fucked up version of Animal Crossing where things really went off the rails.  I know somebody did a parody game heading that way but it wasn't good from the videos I saw.

As for PS5 I'll be curious to see what they mention tomorrow.  I feel pretty comfortable in getting it but at least one or two more killer games to get will seal the deal.

Speaking of PS5, Sony revised it's production estimate for the the console back to 11 million units.  They had planned to manufacture 15 million consoles through March 2021, but problems with the chip have forced them to revise.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-09-15/sony-is-said-to-cut-ps5-forecast-by-4-million-due-to-chip-woes

It's worth noting that Sony originally planned to make about 6 million consoles to start with, but raised estimates due to the pandemic.  The company is supposedly confident it will have enough consoles to meet holiday demand.

Edit: Sony is claiming the Bloomberg story is false.

As of right now this hasn't been turned on yet. My xCloud preview ended a few days ago and it was pretty cool. It worked better than Stadia at least.

[RIPPA]

In theory it could be because it will be like 8 or 9 AM PST

It also could be that they didn't give a specific time so they could make sure they were ready when made available

[Craig H]

Game Pass was just updated on Android. I'm eager to try this out, but I'm expecting it to just be similar to the preview experience. Although there will be a whole lot more games to play this time around.

[Craig H]

I got around to playing about 30 to 45 minutes of Halo 5 because I never got a chance to play Halo 5 before. Even on my Note20, it's hard to tell what's going on at times because of the small screen. It makes me think streaming a FPS to a phone, even one with a large display, isn't the best choice. It still played pretty well for the most part, but I did notice a lot of screen tearing and stuff like that. I'm guessing a lot of people were jumping on to try it out today.

Forza Horizon plays and looks as good as it did on my PC though, and that was a better experience.

Coming next week to switch online: DK Country 2, mario picross,  the peace keepers and SCAT. 

[Kevin Wilson]

That's the one I have the fondest memories of. Classic Nintendo to just say nothing to hype something then just be like "oh, here you go."

[odessasteps]

Ive liked a lot of their recent announcements. 

New Mario game? 2 weeks

New Zelda? Two months. 

 

[odessasteps]

And now there's a Nintendo direct mini partner showcase Thursday morning.

How the hell do you develop FF16 for years and no one leaks anything until a week before launch (and even those leaks were "leaks")?

Did they announce a date? I did not see anything besides the "console exclusive (*) ... (*) also available on PC" note.

[Death From Above]

No date.

[Jiji]

Man, they had me with Final Fantasy and Miles Morales and have subsequently lost me real quick with fucking Harry Potter and "one of the most dangerous times in history, 1981." Fuck Activision in the ears.

Not going to lie...that shit looks like the Witcher as fuuuuuuuuuck.

[Craig H]

Of all the shit to spend time on...they spend time on another Five Nights at Freddy's game. Ok then.

[Eivion]

FFXVI looks good and interesting, but a the same time doesn't quite feel like an FF game. Haven't really dug into the Witcher much, but @Craig H's commnent was kind of what I was thinking.

This whole thing is just...fucking terrible. Pimping Fortnite and Demons Souls? 

[Craig H]

LOL There are some really odd choices for games they're showing off to work with this new PS+ Collection, like Infamous Second Son or Detroit or the worst Battlefield game since 2049. That's not a terrible service, but just the choice of games is...weird.

[Craig H]

$500 with disc drive, $400 without.

November 12 launch. That's...pretty good for the disc-less system if it's the same specs.

[Robert S]

100 $ difference just for a Blu-ray drive?

[RIPPA]

Hogwarts Legacy

You decide if you can separate the Universe from the creator

[Death From Above]

What are the launch titles? 

Anybody?

Hello?????
