when I was 2017

It has to. That’s exactly why it won’t :frowning:

2017 predictions:

E-sports become more popular than American Football, less popular than the Other Football. The new thanksgiving tradition is turkey and DOTA 2

Blizzard shuts down because they made too much money and their building collapsed under the weight of it all

Cave Story 2 is released. It’s not very good.

Grand Theft Auto VI trailer is shown in November for release in 2019. The main voice actor is an Al Pacino impersonator, the secondary characters are all voiced by Ray Liotta but played backwards like in Twin Peaks

La Mulana 2 is released. It’s very good but everyone hates it for some reason.

A popular mod for Sausage Roll that turns the sausage into Sonic the Hedgehog is shut down by Nintendo’s legal department (they acquire Sega in March)

The Dreamcast v2.0 is announced as an add on for the Nintendo Switch. It’s a VMU containing a chao minigame. 800 units are produced, and they only work if you have the limited edition Omachao amiibo.

Xbox 360 emulation is finally perfected and becomes self aware. However, it is incredibly embarrassed by the Bomberman reboot released early in its life and it deletes all of its own code permanently

VR Technology becomes accessible when Viewmaster becomes the new standard. By December, everyone lives inside of their own personalized fetish zone sponsored by 60 Minutes and McDonald’s.

So I’ll end up getting Tekken cuz i’m terrible.

I’m getting Spider-Man cuz why stop now.

Looking forward to Nier 2 and Scalebould, honeslty have high hopes for these games.

Nidhog 2 gives me hope.

I’m hoping to have control to hold off on Mass Effect until I hear something positive on it to make sure it’s not some terrible mess.

Gravity Rush 2 demo apparently drops tomorrow so that’ll be a chance to see if they do anything new with it.

oh yay!

So, if the downloadable demo is the same as the TGS demo and kiosk demo floating around, it’ll be the same as the first unless you tell the game you know what you’re doing, then it unlocks the new powers they added and an additional encounter after the initial task

[quote]There are two paths through this demo — one for those who are new to Gravity Rush, and another for those that are more familiar with Kat’s powers — so no matter your level of gravity-defying experience, please be sure to give it a shot!

Sounds like the same demo then.

Also kind of interested to see how this turns out

That’s great!

It’s like 10 minutes long, which let me tell you, was worth the trouble of setting up a new JPSN account and downloading it for an hour

What th-

Just looked up screenshots of this and it’s… not what I expected the visuals to have evolved to

Nidhogg looked like a C64 game

Nidhogg 2 looks like an Amiga game

Makes sense to me

Does it? Maybe the player characters do.

The environments I’ve seen look like a hundred indie action-platformer-RPGs put together.

I guess what I’m saying is that the original was ugly in a way that I liked and the sequel is, or seems to be, ugly in a way that I don’t like.

nier demo is on jpsn already if you can’t wait a few more hours
it’s dope

VR still can’t become mainstream with games because it can only really be used in short sessions and completely alone

A lot of technologies only became popular because people subverted their original purpose

Anyway what I’m saying is that 2017 will be the year of VR porn

Yeah this re-skin is unfortunate

Maybe it makes Messhof some dough though

VR porn is not a subversion of its original purpose so much as its blindingly obvious original purpose

If Nidhogg 1 and Nidhogg 2 were released at the same time and weren’t part of a series, I probably wouldn’t like Nidhogg 2’s aesthetic as much. But because Nidhogg 2 itself is unnecessary it’s kind of nice that the art is both more defined and more baroque. I definitely could not see it getting cleaner. Also, the chunkiness of the pixels is kind of warm and nice. It reminds me of that era of Square Enix that did a lot of clay illustrations (Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger) except the themes are dope instead of boring.

I guess Nidhogg 2’s like if Clayfighter wasn’t such a fucking mess.
