Well, nothing interesting happening on nintendo - at least not for me.

Maybe Sony will show something cool, wasnt there a state of play today?

There is. I guess that de-confirms a Playstation Showcase presentation for this September (last year it was the first one, on sept 9)

It seems it might be retroactively included in rare replay too.

Huh interesting! Never played that one. Depending on the price I might give it a shot.

Where have you been in the 90s? I loved this Game back then, 4 player splitscreen on a tiny TV, nobody is allowed to play as Oddjob…good memories.

But to be honest i have 0 interest in playing this game today, it probably has aged terrible, like all of the N64 Games…

My main N64 games were Super Smash Bros and Pokemon Stadium 2. :stuck_out_tongue:

I always have a soft spot for early 3D games, especially if they are dystopian/scifi. Not really the case for the Bond game but still potentially nice for me.

Idk, i kinda despise them nowadays. Sure, they were mind blowing back then, but i think they have aged horribly, the only games i still play from back then are the original 3 Resident Evil Games with their pre-rendered backgrounds.

I prefer the timeless spritework that the SNES games had, they are still beautiful to look at :heart_eyes:

To me they feel scifi because they are not photorealistic.It is not like I am exploring a fictional world but more like I am exploring a virtual world. Something that is “extrarealistic”. Hard to explain.
I played the original Deus Ex way after it was released but for me that is the one that fits this category the best. :sweat_smile:

Wait, no PC port?? And speaking of PC ports… (fingers crossed they confirm it)

And fingers crossed this works out this time.

Huh…

I have mixed feelings on the Goldeneye port, for mostly selfish reasons. Glad it is finally being released for the many who have played it the game. But for me, my childhood Bond game, which has a fantastic multiplayer component, is the console version of Nightfire. Not to mention Everything or Nothing is also a great Bond game too, both of which deserve some kind of loving remaster and re-release at some point.

I am simply speechless, this looks absolutely incredible

A shame the combat still looks so similar to the 2018 game, but narratively this all looks great and far better than the 2018 game.

GoW 2 was also identical to the original 2005 release and no one was bothered by that. Why fix something that ain’t broken :slight_smile:

don’t take this the wrong way because i’m genuinely curious about your take on this, but you’ve mentioned not liking tlou because of how it has inflicted gaming with cinematic pretensions. isn’t the new direction for gow an offshoot of that…?

Because gow 2018 didn’t have the best combat system and i wish theyd improve on it

It is, the original 2018 gow heavily suffered from that direction, and ragnarok is probably also gonna suffer from that. But for now im staying positive with the stuff theyve shown so far
