YYYYYYYYEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!

Gave the Horizon 4 demo a spin on PC, and Playground Games weren't messing around when they said performance and optimisation would be far better than Horizon 3 was. I'm on the High preset and I'm getting buttery smooth 1080/60 (well, 1200 - 16:10 monitor). I don't think I've seen a better representation of the Great British countryside in a game since Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, but FH4 knocks it out of the water. It's actually quite surreal to be driving around in a space that's literally on your own doorstep!

Yeah, it looks fucking amazing on the One X running at 60fps in 4k.

They are actually wizards for getting that performance at 4k. I'd love to try it, but graphics card not new enough and no 4k monitor anyways.

No, but that sounds great!

Hopefully as the game nears release they'll reveal who did the soundtrack.

While Gato Roboto is obviously a direct tribute to the Metroid series, I found it clever that its version of Samus' morph ball is Kiki the cat simply hopping out of the battle suit and traversing narrow spaces like felines IRL are adept at doing.

Like I said, 2019 looks to be a promising year for new games. Even if that means being more of a recluse, although it wouldn't be much different from now.

Not forgetting that stealth Katamari Rerolled, Nintendopls

 

 

Edit: Just discovered it's coming to Steam as well, Katamari finally makes it to PC!

Switch Online seems very underwhelming at launch, but you know I'll give em my $20 to keep playing Splatoon 2 and MK8 online. Seeing nine Final Fantasy games ported was surprising, as is new official wireless NES controllers coming, that dock to the Switch to charge like the joy cons.

 

 

Keep on rollin', baby...

 

I'm more likely to grab the PC version, but it's great to see some 'proper' Katamari out there again.

I have had the Katamari Damacy theme stuck in my head for a month. So this is good news 

bought ps4 version of stick of truth south park £16.99 brand new disc

been enjoying wipeout on the ps vita atm

Still soldiering on (slowly) through Deus Ex. Not that I've had to do too much shooting, but it seems very awkward and wooden, can't see me being able to take down too many people at once. Destiny 2 was one of the games on PS+ this month so I'm gonna give that a go. 

 

Also, Steam has a beta Linux Wine related mode so I keep playing bits of Age of Empires 2, although as soon as I put the mode up one harder it's like 15 minutes before I get fucking wiped out. It's not possible to build armys that size and go through all the ages that quick. Cheating AI fuckers!

Finally! Now, do I wait to get an AC-themed Switch, or get the Smash or Pikachu bundles?

AC Switch is the correct answer here. I fired up New Leaf on my 3DS earlier, having not played it for about 2 years - I had accrued so much interest at the post office, my bank account sat at 1,499,999 bells... so I paid off Tom Crook Nook and ordered a new room be built on my house 

Yeah so i finished the MMII demo at a friend's today.

 

The slo-mo/power-up mechanics are fun to play around with... kinda trivializing (mini-)bosses and some platforming even on "normal" (which was the highest one could pick) but yeah. Still takes some meter management at least. The physics n everything pretty much felt at home, just the choppy ladder climbing animation is somewhat irritating (it's not actually slower than usual but it still somehow feels like it just from the looks).

 

The only real letdown would be the music, it was kinda just there, no catchiness whatsoever, also no rock. Anyway, looking forward to 2nd of october!

I'm having fun watching randomized games on youtube

Currently ocarina of time

Which one, the original? While being the most dated technologically, it's also the best written story-wise...if not one of the best written games in history.

 

I succumbed to getting sucked back into Fallout 4, about 7 months later. The fact that there's a vast array of mods is key to its replay value. Not to mention it sounds like the New Vegas remaster (F4NV) mega-mod for Fallout 4 is supposedly nearing completion. I'm more excited about that than Fallout 76 TBH...as are most fans these days.

Mankind Divided, I've only played human revolution before and that story and game play I think I prefer. Speaking of FO4 I didn't actually make it right to the end, should do really. Feels like there was so much I missed out on. But yeah, 76 I'm gonna have to get into.

Destiny 2 free on ps+. Can't argue with that.
