it’s genuinely been a fun surprise to be able to root for capcom’s post-re2make renaissance and i think i have about as favorable a position on silent hill f as someone with my disposition possibly could but i hate to admit i kind of want konami to just give up and go away for my sake, personally

They didn’t mention the real Konami news.

Coming this month to all Round1 locations in the US.

They shadow dropped a 2D pixel art God of War lol.

Okay it has my attention but I’ll need to hear some impressions first.

MGS Master Collection Vol 2 is coming to Switch 1.

I can’t even imagine how bad that probably runs.

The the Wii-u was more powerful than a PS3, and the switch is more powerful than that so it doesn’t seem that implausible to me at all.

I think it’s more that the quality of Vol 1 on the Switch was not great in ways that don’t bode well (previously 60 FPS games were locked at 30, for example).

A post was merged into an existing topic: discount elysium (deals thread 2)

The Wii U was more powerful than a PS3 only GPU wise and only barely, and the PS3 CPU was overpowered in part because the GPU was not great and the CPU did a bunch of vector math that then-contemporary GPUs were supposed to be doing. the PS3 was the last architecture whose CPU could actually compete with and make up for GPU floating point deficiencies; while comparing CPUs and GPUs apples to apples normally doesn’t make sense, the PS3 is around 50% more powerful than the Wii U on the basis of overall FLOPS. also, the Wii U CPU was really bad even if the GPU was OK and better than a PS3’s on its own.

the Switch is comfortably more powerful than the Wii U when docked, but not that much more powerful when undocked, and it’s hard to imagine the PS3 shaders being portable enough for an apples-to-apples comparison — baseline, the port should be less efficient in at least a few ways, and these platforms aren’t far off of 1:1 at best, so you’d expect that “less efficient” part to bite some.

not that thrilled with valve being the ones to capitalize on discord’s own goal, but I suppose it was inevitable

Just wondering if streaming is going to be a problem for valve, as they are primarily a storefront and so maybe won’t want people streaming movies etc. and shit over their service.

i wonder if the new CONTROL being a character-action game will solve the annoying bullet-spongey nature of high level combat from the first one.

also lol at them showing this weirdly-editted trailer for a brigandine game of all things in their E3 equivalent. i remember there being a new one a couple years ago but i refused to play because i found it too ugly. this one seems fine in that regard.

direction and writing from sengoku basara people, which is a series i’m not familiar enough to gauge if it’s good or bad news.

That tends to happen when a company farms their game dev out to another studio.
