Nintendo Switch has eclipsed the Wii U's lifetime sales in less than a year (no big surprise there; Wii U only sold 12.3 million over 5-ish years).

PS4 has sold 74 million units to date worldwide.

Still playing Arkanoid vs Space Invaders on my phone. Great little game.

The Phone: the true console killer.

Getting into Everspace, and about to return to a run where I'm not too far from reaching the end. As long as I avoid boosting into asteroids, I should be fin—

Seems the Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter has woken up after four years of silence

I also learned today the game world is going to have a technology called Braindance where you can experience emotion and physical sensation through someone else (like Neuromancer's Simstim tech). I guess someone at CDPR is an old school Rephlex fan.

Dark Souls: Remastered    

coming May 25, 2018 on PC, PS4, Xbone, and Switch

"Whether you’re a die-hard fan of the Dark Souls series, or someone looking to take their first plunge into the series, you can experience an epic, dark fantasy universe stricken by the Curse in stunning, high-definition detail running at 60 FPS, except for Blighttown of course, LMFAO, as if!"

30fps on Switch, which was to be expected.

Kinda curious about 4K/60fps on PS4 Pro... throw in HDR (just imagine) and THAT would be a remaster in my book.

me and my mate wanted to play a nice racing game so we got project cars 2, it was 60% of in the ps store and has good reviews so...

it's just friggin terrible, the driest wankfest i played in years. graphics are horrible, gameplay is beyond horrible, the AI is terrible and there is no music just vrrrooom vrrooom. i can't believe i just spend 40euro on this trash

Blighttown gets a bad rap, yeah that area had some bad fps issues, but with proper gear on it wasn't overly difficult and was one of the more interesting areas in DS1... Anor Londo and those archers can fuck right off though.

Oh, I'm not shitting on Blighttown as a level, just the idea that it'll ever get 60 FPS on a console seems impossible in my mind. I'm sure it's not, just seems like it. It's a pretty interesting level, but definitely difficult. There's a good video about it's importance:

I'm sure I'll buy it no matter, but I am curious to hear what sort of quality it'll have.

Dusk is available now in early access, and it looks like the original Quake but with HL1 soldiers and militant Klansmen. Reviews look promising, but I'm not sure yet if I'm ready to buy.

Nice, I missed this one on DS but have heard nothing but good things about it.

Guess those garbage chalice dungeons really were the end of Bloodborne for me. Tried to get started on another playthrough but I just can't. sad. all right game though, in spite of those.

Back to Battlefield 1.

The World Ends With You is great, and made great use of the DS' dual screens. I gotta say the Switch is looking more appealing, just needs some more original releases to tip me over.

Yeah fuck the Chalice Dungeons. When I heard about before the game was out I was like "holy shit roguelike Souls". They just end up really tedious. Easily the worst part of getting platinum was slogging through. Defiled is even worse where you have 50% hp, so you end up fighting bosses that one-shot you.

Recently finished Resi 7 (good) and Uncharted 4 (very good)

Specifically the PS4 Wipeout collection remastered in 4K

I' freaking thrilled about the Dark Souls Remaster. I think I'm the one person on earth that played Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 but never Dark Souls. Definitely going to wait for this version now. 

And DK: Tropical Freeze is another one I missed out on. Can't waaaiiit.

I MIGHT get the Dark Souls remaster for Switch, but I got kinda far in the original game on X360 and got to a point where I found it impossible to progress. It was such a struggle to get there that I don't know if I want to go through all of that again. I'm considering trying to continue my 360 game rather than buying this reissue.

I got DK Tropical Freeze for free on Wii U and only played the first few areas and quit on it. I don't know what it was, but it just wasn't that appealing to me, which is strange because I loved the original DK Country games and generally like Nintendo's platformers. Maybe I'll try it again on Wii U.

I'm still playing Breath of the Wild, which ended up being my favorite game of 2017. I haven't come close to finishing it because I have spent my entire time exploring and not doing the main story quests. I have almost walked the entire world, it seems, so it's probably a good time to go and do the Divine Beast quests. This game is so brilliant, I just can't get enough of it.

Other than that, I started playing Street Fighter V, and while I still don't love it, it's better than I originally felt it was. I don't pay for PS Plus, so I can't fight other players, so maybe that's why I am not really into it like I was SFIV, but with the Arcade Edition upgrade coming next week, I might consider starting a subscription.

I have a few "new" games that I haven't opened yet: Nier Automata, Nioh, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 (Switch), and of course, Final Fantasy XV, the game that's been sitting unopened for over a year now. I'm considering starting them all this weekend. At the end of the month, I will be playing Dragon Ball FighterZ, so that will most likely be my next obsession.

no hdr on consoles. i'm not sure about pc. giantbomb also said the remaster is being handled by a european dev. no discount for dark souls owners on pc is also a bitter pill to swallow. i'm very skeptical of this remaster, but will inevitably buy it anyway for active invasions/summons

Never played any Dark Souls game before but heard you guys talk about it so much over here I'll buy the switch version for sure. Can't wait to discover what makes this game so special !

I'm also discovering The Escapists 2. Looks like a lot of fun, will probably be a lot more when the missus will agree to give the co-op a try though !
