Not gunna lie. Kinda lowkey mad at Nintendo for including M+L superstar saga in NSO. They had multiple opportunities to make its developer, AlphaDream a 2nd party studio but decided not to and now they’re not around anymore. I know almost al their staff found work shortly after, many within Nintendo but it just seems like a kick in the teeth. 
 

I mean, There’s a reason why Superstar Saga is a launch title for GBA NSO. It’s one of the most beloved games for that hardware.

Oof on the Wanted dead reviews. I was curious but looks like a pass.

[Chadouken]

I've been instructed to work from home tomorrow because of high winds.

 

So I'm downloading Metroid Prime. Fuck it.

I didn't expect there to be a physical version of the Metroid Prime remaster... so of course I'd rather wait on that.

 

I downloaded the japanese voice pack for Diablo 3 the other day; that little detail of hearing characters in different languages helps add a little more to the replay value for me... especially a game like this that I've played for an insane amount of time already.  For a long time I had the German voices enabled on the Switch version, just 'cause it sounds cool to me and "fits" the Diablo world.  For some reason it looks like this isn't possible on the Playstation version of the game though (nor the Xbox versions).  On Switch they're just free extra downloadable files.... though it would be ideal if they were just options already in the game normally.  There's several other ones too, including Russian and Spanish.

[Hecatom]

Man, that EA Monster Hunter game sure is looking fun.
I think I will dip on it.

It helps that is made by Team Ninja, who made Toukiden which is a series I like.

Coming to PSn+ and Extra

I started playing Metroid Prime Remastered last night. Even after all these years that game is still fucking goated.

For those who bought the Metroid Prime remaster, does it fix the end game fetch quest with the artifacts? Like how the wind waker remaster fixed the triforce by reducing the tedium.

[RSG3]

They didn't touch it.

I did not know that Charlie Rosen, the main guy who composes the arrangements for 8 Big Band is also a Tony Award winner for his contributions to Moulin Rouge.  That's crazy to me.  Also a good chunk of the band are involved in higher profile stuff like touring with Sam Smith.

Epic games will be doing a state of Unreal Address at GDC this year

https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/events/gdc2023

 

Based on the schedule most of the focus is going to be on the 5.2 update to the engine.  They're going to be doing various shows and events from March 22-24

It's amazing that loading in to a different area is so fast in Metroid Prime Remastered when Dread takes forever.

Complete list of games coming to the tiers of PSN+

 

 

 

2.

EA confirmed,that at least for now, there is content coming to Wild Hearts, and that it would be free.

It seems that it will follow the same content release strategy of Monster Hunter World.

 

So...

... Good guy EA?

[Chadouken]

Just another general PSA that Metroid Prime Remastered is fucking amazing. It's been 20 years since I've played this shit last so it's like a brand new experience. Here I am at work with Phendrana Drifts music stuck in my head. Can't wait to play some more tonight.

Sounds like PSVR2 is getting highly praised all around, and the concern that seems to also be said by all is just the software.  The initial launch lineup is pretty good but at the same time, a lot of it is stuff that you can already play and nothing new.  And there isn't anything really out there on the horizon to get too excited about.

[Hawkingbird]

 

Shame about the lack of PC support at launch. I hope it gets it officially but mostly likely will need to be modded like the first PSVR

They are saying Iron Galaxy helped Retro with the remaster. Wouldn't be surprised if it was their personal expertise that helped that, they also worked on the Switch Overwatch port.

[Sonichuman]

That dude looked just like Yamauchi.  I had to check wiki to make sure he was dead lol.

Lightfall is looking pretty lit. I'm hype!

[MillionX]

ha, another one will bite the dust apparently... it soothes the soul.  Live Service is a plague upon the industry that should be eradicated sooner rather than later.

[Hecatom]

A major problem that Multiversus has is that it is a live service game on a niche genre.

Now, something to take note is that being a free to play game, surely brought way more eyes into it than what would have usually happened if the game had a price tag.

So, it could be that its current population is on par with fgs.

 

People love to make a lot of fuss about numbers, without really analizing them, like saying that x or y game lost 80% of its playerbase, which is usually the case for basically all games, even the lsg's

 

Games not losing 80% of the player base after th 1st month are the outliers.

And it could be that due the special circumstances about MVS, the game still has a healthy online playerbse that dwarves the playerbase of basically all the other fgs combined.

Splatoon 3. Salmon Run. Wave 3. All my teammates are splatted. (Shocker, I know). I power up the Booyah Bomb. The lesser beings My teammates gather together so I can hit them with the Booyhan Bomb and revive them. I throw the Booyah Bomb, powered by all of our Booyahs!!!

I miss them and it goes into the ocean. "That's a wrap!"

I would have loved for you to clip that.  I can only imagine the responses your team had when that happened.

Still very early in wild hearts but I'm liking it.
