[young creek]

I was hoping for all three of them

[green fulcrum]

Wow, that looks beautiful

[thorny loom]

Imagine not having pokemon gen 3 as part of the gba launch

[visual hill]

and I just installed Primehack… 

[thorny loom]

Oh hey a gamecube remaster

[young creek]

wow you can see her face through the mask

[river veldt]

[thorny loom]

Nintendo finally doing something they should have been doing several years ago

[young creek]

I thought they were gonna make Metroid Prime 4..

[green fulcrum]

Not the Prime news people were hoping for, but it's great news anyway

[arctic fern]

remastered? well thats something

[thorny loom]

If it they do it wont be on switch

[rancid herald]

anything interesting ?

[river veldt]

this is exciting for me Ive never played a Prime game heh

[young creek]

[thorny loom]

Gb and gba games on switch online and metriod prime remaster

[graceful bridge]

[green fulcrum]

Holy shit, Metroid fans are eating well today

[young creek]

[river aspen]

I reckon they might still be talking about Prime 4 right at the end

[graceful bridge]

Master Detective Archives

[river veldt]

maybe, we also still have TotK stuff iirc

[river aspen]

Either that or a new mario game or something

[thorny loom]

Im willing to bet either that or zelda

[green fulcrum]

Actually this was the game that Denzy had seen before and was excited for, not the other one

[river aspen]

Oh Zelda too I suppose

[graceful bridge]

Okay, this looks interesting

[young creek]

only 5 min to go 👴

[graceful bridge]

Magical cyberpunk dystopia, neat

[thorny loom]

But so far. The rumors have been pretty accurate

[rancid herald]

"I know you're all looking forward to Tears of the kingdom information... so it's delayed another 3 months"

[graceful bridge]

Baten Kaitos I & II

[river veldt]

Live chat doesn't care unless it's shit blowing up, or a popular franchise

[graceful bridge]

ohhhh this gotta be Zelda

YUP

[arctic fern]

eww, this game look slike trash

[teal sonnet]

will we finally play with the princess Link?

[green fulcrum]

Oh come on, Layton was great.

[fresh bane]

Yep

[river veldt]

GANONDORF???

[fresh bane]

this is Zelda

[graceful bridge]

okay shit be blowing up

[fresh bane]

Oh wow it looks exactly like BOTW

I expected slightly better visuals

[river veldt]

oh shit was that a redead

[fresh bane]

is that matt mercer???

[visual hill]

BOTW was already pushing the hardware

[graceful bridge]

Tears of the Kingdom

[visual hill]

unless you want ToTK to run like Perfect Dark, it can't look too much better

[green fulcrum]

Backwards singing

Oh boy

[river veldt]

holy fuck im excited

[river aspen]

Yeah I can't expect much better visuals than some of the Nintendo games we got on Switch's launch

[graceful bridge]

Was that female Link?

[river aspen]

the Switch is... weak hardware wise, always will be until a new console

[fresh bane]

MIDNA

[river veldt]

that was Zelda

[teal sonnet]

WAS THAT FEMALE LINK?

[green fulcrum]

That was an excellent Direct

[arctic fern]

whelp
whatever that was, im 100% sold

[graceful bridge]

New Link Amiibo

[green fulcrum]

Like, a really f*cking good Direct

[river veldt]

very excited

[graceful bridge]

Oh cool

[thorny loom]

But yeah. This was what i expected

[river veldt]

she got a haircut in between games lol

[fresh bane]

Still can't believe it hopefully the new console will be much better hardware, it better be, they have no excuse not to upgrade it

[graceful bridge]

So basically BotW 2: Everything's Fucked

[mossy flume]

[screm]

[river veldt]

ye

lol

[thorny loom]

Mostly indie games port, and remasters with 1 or 2 new major games

[fresh bane]

There's new enemies in ToTK so that's something new to look forward to

also Zelda's there I guess

/s

[graceful bridge]

Blanc looked really cute.

[rancid herald]

where's this girl link

[river veldt]

there was no girl Link it was just Zelda

[young creek]

theres no girl link

[dire gate]

Theres no link

[rancid herald]

preorder.
Cancelled.

[graceful bridge]

There's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it near the end of the Zelda trailer, but apparently it's Zelda in an adventuring out fit

[dire gate]

Only Zeldap

[fresh bane]

Did they ever confirm whether or not you'll play as Zelda?

I don't assume there's any reason why they'd put it there but it'd be nice

[young creek]

no they didnt want to comment on it

[visual hill]

I doubt it, it's been 21 years since Nintendo pushed for cutting-edge hardware in a console

they're already long past that image of trying to have better hardware than the competition

[river veldt]

holy fuck Gamecube was 21 years ago

[fresh bane]

At this point it's not even about having better hardware than competition their hardware can't even handle gams meant for their console

[green fulcrum]

Octopath Traveler 2
Sea of Stars
Superstar Saga on Switch
Professor Layton and the New World of Steam

Those were my personal highlights. I can't f*cking wait.

[fresh bane]

Like, it's about them being able to fully realize their own games in their own console

They don't have to be more powerful than competitors but they're not even powerful enough to upgrade a game that was released in 2017

[visual hill]

also, the Switch is a handheld first and foremost, but it's competing with home-only consoles

[graceful bridge]

Yeah, Switch is competing with your phone, not other consoles.

[fresh bane]

I guess that was the biggest '''problem''' with Switch

The fact that it was a hand held

[river veldt]

aw man this conversation again

[visual hill]

if only Sony kept its Vita alive 😛

[young creek]

trying to figure out where ive heard ganons voice actor before

[fresh bane]

[dire gate]

Damn I was hoping Cap to forget unblocking me so that I can make hot takes about mario freely /j

[fresh bane]

People were saying Matt Mercer

it did sound like him

[river veldt]

ok so yeah that was definitely Ganondorf

[fresh bane]

Although he sounds much...

younger?

[young creek]

who has matt mercer done

[fresh bane]

I'd imagine Ganondorf with a much deeper and growly voice

[hollow stone]

botw 2

very hyped

like wayyy too hyped

[river veldt]

im trying to think if ive seen those flying enemies before

[fresh bane]

Well Matt Mercer has voiced... Ganondorf before in Smash

He's the voice of Pain in Naruto

Leon in RE6

[mossy flume]

Metroid Prime 1 Remake, out now

[river veldt]

NOW??

[mossy flume]

Now

[fresh bane]

Gangplank in League of Legends, Levi Ackerman in SNK, Jotaro in Jojo

[river veldt]

busts out wallet

[rancid herald]

tbh

[young creek]

oh hes english levi and jotaro

[rancid herald]

I think the weirdest part of this trailer is how much of it is on the ground

[fresh bane]

remastered*

☝️

[river veldt]

Midnight i dont see it

[rancid herald]

for like 5 years it's always been in the clouds and suddenly we're back to the ground and building cars for some reason

[river aspen]

I wonder if its still the same underlying game for Metroid Prime 1

If it is, then yeah, it's remastered

if its rebuilt from the ground up, its a remake

doesnt matter what they call it

[river veldt]

finally, Legend of Zelda: Mad Max: Fury Road

[mossy flume]

Oh it’s not actually out

[river veldt]

why would you lie to me

[mossy flume]

But will be later today

[river veldt]

crying

[fresh bane]

wait, cars? did I miss something?

[mossy flume]

To me it looks like a remake

But I dunno

[fresh bane]

I mean

it's literally called remastered

[mossy flume]

They remade all the assets and the animations. The physics looked slightly tweaked too

But I need to try it out

[river aspen]

Companies have named their games improperly with "Remake" and "Remastered" before

[river veldt]

do you think the sky and ground will be seperate or in the same loaded zone cuz one of my favourite things about BOTW is the lack of loading screens

[rancid herald]

you're both wrong, this is actually a spiritual successor to MP 1

[mossy flume]

Object scaling was definitely different

[river aspen]

Remake is defined of a game that is being rebuilt from the ground up to recreate a game. A remaster is using the original game's source code, and updating it as necessary to work for modern hardware and audiences

[mossy flume]

I think Nintendo made the misnomer mistake here

But we’ll see

Metroid fandom will tear it apart and find out

[river veldt]

i wonder what the dungeons will be like

[dire gate]

I appreciate they decided to port Katamari 2

[mossy flume]

Anyway Prime 2 Remake when

And Prime 3 Remake when

And Prime 4 when

[fresh bane]

prime 4 remake when

[mossy flume]

[river aspen]

At this rate, never

[mossy flume]

[rancid herald]

only if you buy three copies of this remake so it sells well

[fresh bane]

Metroid Dread sold pretty well

[mossy flume]

Prime 4 is definitely a Switch 2 title at this point

[fresh bane]

Metroid Dread had the best sales of the entire franchise

[mossy flume]

IM ALREADY ON IT

[river veldt]

i want there to be a dungeon like in a tall tower like in LttP with the Tower of Hera and there’s outside bits and you can see Hyrule really well

[fresh bane]

I'm really hoping that there will be Twilight related stuff in TOTK

That little backwards chanting/singing at the end

and those little weird synth digital noises made me think of the Twilight noises

[rancid herald]

oh yeah

[fresh bane]

Maybe we'll see Midna again <---- coping

[river veldt]

we got Twilight stuff in BOTW

[rancid herald]

I want midna to come back

and link can be her doggo again

[fresh bane]

I want my little rapscallion bratty gremlin companion to come back

or the big tall mommy one, whichever is fine

[rancid herald]

and Zelda's just off in the corner with this face while it all goes down.

[fresh bane]

[river veldt]

i very highly doubt Midna will come back

[fresh bane]

''You were a furry all along?! Ewwww''

[rancid herald]

wow, destroying my dreams right here

[fresh bane]

I don't see why you'd say that

[mossy flume]

We need HD Wolf Link and HD Midna

Gib

I need my furry fix

[rancid herald]

MA gets it

[mossy flume]

Furry Zelda was best Zelda

[rancid herald]

Zelda's probably turn into a lion

[river veldt]

what do you mean

[dire gate]

Wolf Link now with additional Werewolf version

[young creek]

well wolf link is already in botw

[fresh bane]

Zelda is the only one that doesn't turn into a furry, she has to watch as Ganon turns into a boar and Link turns into a wolf and they fight and she's just watching like ''what the hell''

[river veldt]

iirc the only companion character that has been in multiple games is Fi and that was just a small cameo in Trial of the Sword

[rancid herald]

"It was in that moment that Zelda swore off drinking"

Midna sorta turned into a giant spider thing too

[fresh bane]

https://youtu.be/fYZuiFDQwQw

oh hey it's alread up

[dire gate]

Well instead Zelda turned into Sheik

[river veldt]

trans icon

[rancid herald]

I don't like sheik

the name is too close to shrek

[fresh bane]

More like crossdressing rather than trans

[rancid herald]

Zelda turned into Shrek

[river veldt]

iirc Shiek went with he/him pronouns

[dire gate]

Sheik is officially a woman with she/her pronouns.

[fresh bane]

Zelda did try to pass off as a man while she was Sheik but... it was a disguise

[river veldt]

Fine whatever

[fresh bane]

In other material outside the context of OOT's story Sheik is referred to as a woman

Like Smash

[fresh bane]

''Get out of me swamp'' Shiek said calmly

I worry over the number of Shrek related emotes you have DJ

[river aspen]

Just 2

[quiet swift]

That's two too many

[fresh bane]

Phew

[river veldt]

i dont get the Twilight Princess worship tbh. i cant get into it because I think it’s really ugly

[fresh bane]

I mean I don't really know what to tell you, you don't like it and that's fine

other people like it

[hidden elbow]

I think majora's mask is my favorite

[river veldt]

its just weird when people act like it’s the best one

objectively i mean

[fresh bane]

I've never seen anyone act like it was the best one objectively I just see people say it's their favourite one

and I feel like it's understandable considering all the hate it originally got and still gets

[mossy flume]

Metroid Prime 1 Remake is out now

[river veldt]

are you lying again

[mossy flume]

For realsies

I just bought it

[quiet swift]

Also, have you heard of Shrek Raves

[river veldt]

i wont believe it until its downloaded

[mossy flume]

Preorders for everything else are now live

[river veldt]

oooooh

omg its only 40 dollars

i thought it would be 60

[river veldt]

sorry i dont know what got into me, i was really rude

[mossy flume]

Tears of the Kingdom is $70

Confirmed

[graceful bridge]

I hope they're re-releasing those Amiibo, because they were impossible to find for a while

I really wanted Wolf Link

[young creek]

Well that one only came with twilight princess hd

[river veldt]

not to flex but

[graceful bridge]

I don't care if it unlocks anything, I just want Wolf Link.

[river veldt]

i want a Wolf Link amiibo

[dire gate]

I feel like they would have gone for $70 at some point anyway, and TotK seems to be a good game to start that price trend

[river veldt]

artiks said it best i think

[visual hill]

the Doom 3 of Zelda

[visual hill]

will be interesting to see mouse injection being figured out in emulators 😛

[river veldt]

lol this looks like my home screen

[visual hill]

(haven't seen anything of the sort yet, looks like no Switch games really garnered enough interest for it)

[river veldt]

in excited to play it i never have

[hasty patio]

We have Wolf Link at home. /s

[graceful bridge]

I wish

[river veldt]

is Wolf Link a furry thing

[mossy flume]

Very

[dire gate]

It is interesting how they don't even try to announce or give information about any new console

[mossy flume]

But also you should play Twilight Princess HD

[river veldt]

but he’s not anthro

[mossy flume]

But he’s furry

<3

[river veldt]

when they port it to Switch

[mossy flume]

Midna’s also hot

[dire gate]

It is as if they are totally not interested in creating a new console at all

[river veldt]

idk i never really thought she was

[visual hill]

yeah, me neither

[dire gate]

Midna is cool

And cute

[river veldt]

there are dozens of us!

[tawny jacinth]

I just want my boi Revali back

[river veldt]

ive never really liked companions in Zelda games, ive always liked being alone on an adventure

[tawny jacinth]

Is that too much to ask

[fresh bane]

facts

[mossy flume]

Also this is great because now we can get Prime 1 Remaster on the Yuzu emulator and run it in 4K

[dire gate]

I consider Epona as a companion

[river veldt]

dammit

ok im ok with one companion

cuz Epona is horse

[tawny jacinth]

What about griff

[river veldt]

why is she purple

[fresh bane]

I'm 90% sure that if they could get away with it they'd just still go on with the Switch for as long as possible

[hasty patio]

She's not too bad, but it's the attitude early on that grinded my gears when I played years ago. Only when faced with loss and given a chance to play ball does she shine better.

[fresh bane]

Also speaking of Zelda companions Navi really isn't as annoying as people make her out to be

[river veldt]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/zelda/images/7/75/Link_and_Epona_(Ocarina_of_Time).png/revision/latest?cb=20170328042811

such a pretty horsie

[fresh bane]

she's a biggun

[hasty patio]

And the hand/tech/jewels shown look awfully familiar to the Shadow Realm stuff.

[dire gate]

HEY

LISTEN

[gaunt marten]

Anthropomorphism is not only limited to appearance!

[fresh bane]

that's kind of the charm about Midna

[mossy flume]

Metroid Prime 1 Remaster is 6.7GB

[river veldt]

do we know how big TotK is

[mossy flume]

About six times larger than the original game

[visual hill]

my thoughts exactly

[tawny jacinth]

The Tegra X1+ in the v2/Lite/OLED is already 25% more powerful than the X1 in the OG Switch, if Nintendo wanted we could’ve gotten a switch pro all the way back in… what, 2017 or something

[river veldt]

oh?

[mossy flume]

18.2GB

[river veldt]

dayum

thats pretty big

[fresh bane]

I will say I am very disappointed that TOTK didn't really show what the ending of BOTW implied where Zelda and Link start to rebuild as much as they can, unless TOTK happens immediately after BOTW

[gaunt marten]

If an animal acts, talks or thinks like a human, it's being anthropomorphic

[river veldt]

BOTW is only 14 GB including DLC

[gaunt marten]

Ponies are anthropomorphic horses

[tawny jacinth]

Me watching the trailer: “We JUST beat your ass WHY ARE YOU ALREADY BACK”

[gaunt marten]

The furry community uses the terms anthro and feral to distinguish by appearance, but both are accepted to be anthropomorphic animals

[dapper cedar]

New Switch leak, probably fake cause they would never remaster Metroid Prime

[fresh bane]

You can define something as anthropomorphic either if it has human form or human attributes

Usually the most agreed upon definition is that it has a human form

[dire gate]

Puyopuyo tetris

[fresh bane]

Right?

''ROUND 2 MOTHERFUCKEEEEEEEERS''

I'm really hoping TotK will have a more story focused approach like the other games

[hasty patio]

Different strokes for different folks I guess. Granted, it was a long time ago and I've certainly changed since then.

[fresh bane]

and please for the love of god give me some dungeons

pleeeeaaaseeee

[river veldt]

technically Calamity Ganon wasn’t Ganondorf himself it was a spirit thingy

[tawny jacinth]

I need more Rito

[river veldt]

im guessing its immediately after

[fresh bane]

I could literally go my entire life without seeing one of those shrines again

[river veldt]

the shrines are super fun tho

[fresh bane]

No they're not

initially a lot of them are

but after you complete all of them you realize how repetitive a lot of them are

[river veldt]

im replaying it right now and every time I find a shrine i get excited

[fresh bane]

and how quickly their design gets so boring

[mossy flume]

If anyone ever sees when they put the physical copies of Prime 1 Remaster up for order please ping me

[river veldt]

oke

[mossy flume]

Also same for TotK CE and the amiibo

I want them

[river veldt]

oh collectors edition

[dire gate]

I wonder if they will make 3000 korok puzzles in the new game

[tawny jacinth]

There’s the one that requires you to count to 5 but the hint is conveniently just out of render distance

[fresh bane]

''we heard your complaints about the durability system, so we made every single weapon break even faster now''

[tawny jacinth]

I legit haven’t explored much, I just keep ending back at Rito village

[river veldt]

i dont spend too much time in villages

[fresh bane]

I hope they add a lot more stuff to do in TotK

especially in villages

[river veldt]

@mossy flume is Samus as cool in Prime as she is in Dread

[gaunt marten]

Yeah

[river veldt]

epic

[fresh bane]

seriously there's sooooo much stuff to improve upon the foundation of BOTW I'm going to be so disappointed if they don't end up adding ore

I hope they do

[mossy flume]

Same in Samus Returns on 3DS, too

[river veldt]

they had ore

[tawny jacinth]

it’s my people

Okay I might also be a bit drunk rn

[river veldt]

lol

[tawny jacinth]

Unironically Vah Medoh is my favorite part of BOTW

[river veldt]

is that the bird one

i can never remember the names except for Vah Naboris because Urbosa

[mossy flume]

Oh holy shit, this remaster brings in the narration from the JP and PAL versions of Prime

And you can turn it on and off

[river veldt]

is that good

[mossy flume]

That's good

NTSC versions didn't get that

It's optional and it's a tiny thing but it's just one regional difference that was notable

It's off by default

[sour hill]

They think Americans hate narration?

[fresh bane]

I like Bah Navoris totally has nothing to do with the fact that it's where the hot muscular tall warrior women are though

[mossy flume]

Ohhhh heccccc they even have the different Japanese and european versions

Fucking awesome

[river veldt]

rhats the only Urbosa emoji i have wtf

[tawny jacinth]

Yes

[mossy flume]

This is so fucking obscure, I'm amazed they bothered

[fresh bane]

I hope we can interact with villagres from past games and hear their thoughts on things

I remember there was this gerudo soldier that told me that after I was done with my quest I could go back to her and join their little squad and I was so excited at first because I thought BOTW had a postgame but it didn't

[mossy flume]

I'd put money on this being a remake ratehr than a remaster.

[dire gate]

It is interesting that we once had a time period when every single shit was leaked

[tawny jacinth]

I’m in it for the short highly insecure birbs

[dire gate]

Now we get those shit without knowing anything about it

[river veldt]

[tawny jacinth]

Legit yeah, we still don’t know much about TOTK

[mossy flume]

I knew it

[dire gate]

lol

[mossy flume]

It's close, but I'd bet hard that this is a full remake. The physics are slightly different.

Everything is sufficiently different that I'd have a hard time believing that the original game is running underneath this.

It is very close though

[tawny jacinth]

(And yes, Revali is actually pretty short for a Rito and help I’m simping for him again)

[fresh bane]

haha short short short small short haha
(I say, being 160cm tall)

[dire gate]

Here is a random "female link" drawing because we had that talk:

[tawny jacinth]

I’m still impressed at how BDSP was remade in unity but the devs managed to completely forget you aren’t playing a DS game now and can use more than just 4 directions

[fresh bane]

Oh yeah that was a bit of a trend on twitter for a while wasn't it

man

got me wanting to draw some zelda stuff

[gaunt marten]

How come male Link doesn't get as many butt drawings

[fresh bane]

he does

by golly, he does

[gaunt marten]

No I mean non-porn ones

[river veldt]

yooooo Pink haired link pog

[fresh bane]

There probably is still a lot of those

[river veldt]

pink haired Link supremacy

[tawny jacinth]

Heck

[mossy flume]

Also holy shit the lighting in this is amazing

Nintendo/Retro Studios just said "no u" to the fan remaster projects in this.

[river veldt]

lol

[fresh bane]

Metroid really be out here with some of the best looking Switch games

Dread was fucking gorgeous

[mossy flume]

Animation quality is top tier

[fresh bane]

https://tenor.com/view/metroid-metroid-dread-samus-nintendo-nintendo-switch-gif-22771959

[mossy flume]

RIGHT?!

Mercury Stream just GETS it.

[fresh bane]

https://tenor.com/view/samus-metroid-metroid-dread-metroid5-dread-gif-21985344

Asides from looking cool and being a beautiful transition as the other area loads in, there's so much character and personality portrayed in the way Samus just stands there while the elevator is going

[mossy flume]

I wasn't expecting a Metroid Prime 1 remaster/remake to look this good.

[fresh bane]

She's just standing there, not looking around, not moving, just waiting, she's all business

[mossy flume]

And it's 60FPS in portable mode

This has to be 60FPS

What the fuck did they do

[light gate]

Did they dead ass announce Metroid Prime remastered on Switch? Like how does it perform?

[gaunt marten]

Well

[light gate]

Oh no

[gaunt marten]

Sorry

Well.

[mossy flume]

It's performing perfectly

I'm playing it now

I'm just shocked by this

[light gate]

30 or 60?

[mossy flume]

60FPS portable

[river veldt]

does Samus shoot the guys

[mossy flume]

She be shootin

[light gate]

Oh okay…

[mossy flume]

And it's GORGEOUS

[light gate]

Phew

[river veldt]

i dont have any Samus emojis

[mossy flume]

Did they like make an engine specifically for this game or something? What the hell, seriously

[light gate]

How much is it?

30? 60?

[mossy flume]

$40

[river veldt]

wait Midnight can you post that funny Metroid emoji

[light gate]

Mmhh, okay

[mossy flume]

[river veldt]

no not that one

[mossy flume]

[gaunt marten]

All of them are inherently funny

[river veldt]

yeah that works

[mossy flume]

It has no business looking this good on Switch

[light gate]

Now I want to dust off my Switch and get Prime, but god I haven’t played Switch in years

[river veldt]

i think Samus and Metroid Queen should kiss

[gaunt marten]

They did

[river veldt]

really?

[mossy flume]

They did not half-ass this.

[dapper cedar]

Then one of them exploded

[river veldt]

thats true love right there

[dapper cedar]

Beautiful power bomb love

[river veldt]

ok

so

i may have confused the Metroid Queen (not hot) with the Xenomorph Queen (very hot)

[gaunt marten]

Oh

[river veldt]

oh

[fresh bane]

the xenomorph queen is what now

[mossy flume]

Okay Imma send some video captures

[river veldt]

hot

[fresh bane]

[light gate]

What the hell did this chat become

[river veldt]

well Metroid is directly inspired by Alien so

[mossy flume]

^

[light gate]

Yeah but could we not?

[mossy flume]

It's true.

[light gate]

I want to see the video tbh from Prime 1

[mossy flume]

We need more of this Alien appreciation.

I'm working on it

[river veldt]

fuck it im gonna watch Aliens tonight

never seen it before

[mossy flume]

I watched Alien for the first time a couple nights ago

[sour hill]

I haven't either, actually

[mossy flume]

Very good scifi movie

[river veldt]

Alien is amazing

[mossy flume]

Gonna watch the rest later

[sour hill]

Yeah it's nice

[river veldt]

so im assuming Aliens will be just as good

[fresh bane]

Predators are technically aliens as well

I appreciate the female predators

[river veldt]

wait this is a James Cameron movie wtf

[fresh bane]

[river veldt]

hold on a second

[mossy flume]

Aliens is, yeah

[river veldt]

holy hell

[mossy flume]

He pitched it

[sour hill]

Yeah

[slim thorn]

dang, I replayed MP1 way too recently for this remaster

[dapper cedar]

You are in for a magical night oh wow

[mossy flume]

Famously the pitch went like this:
James Cameron walked into a room with the studio executives to pitch the sequel.
He took out a dryerase marker and wrote ALIEN on the whiteboard.
Executives went "Hmmm...."
He then wrote an S at the end.
Executives went "Hmmm...."
Then he drew a line through the S to Make ALIEN$
Executives went "Oh, okay, you got it."
And that was the whole pitch.

[dapper cedar]

It helps that the movie is brilliant as well

[mossy flume]

Okay got the clips

[river veldt]

all I know is that Aliens inspired Metroid and Doom so im very curious

[fresh bane]

those clips made me so dizzy

[mossy flume]

Clips from my Switch in portable mode.

[slim thorn]

to be clear, we didn't hear anything about a Prime 4 or any other new Metroid stuff, right? "just" this remaster?

[mossy flume]

Correct

[slim thorn]

cool

[mossy flume]

Metroid II is on the Gameboy Switch Online thing

But that's it for Metroid news

[fresh bane]

I wonder if Prime 4 will really be a switch 2 game

they probably were already developing it for the switch, how would that carry over to another console?

[slim thorn]

does the remaster have any significant control differences? the trailer footage looked similar enough I'd be hard-pressed to tell it's not the original

[fresh bane]

they mentioned different control schemes and options

[slim thorn]

right, that's why I'm asking

[mossy flume]

They have 4 control modes:
A new Switch-specific mode.
A Wii trilogy style mode
Hybrid Switch/GameCube
Classic GameCube

[fresh bane]

I wonder if they implemented gyro aiming

[mossy flume]

They did

In Hybrid

[fresh bane]

noice

Gyro aiming on switch is actually really nice

[mossy flume]

Hybrid is basically GameCube with gyro

But the gyro is a toggle

[fresh bane]

I don't even know why I'm saying this because I don't even have a switch or play prime lol

I'm just happy for prime players I guess

God knows they've been hurting

[light gate]

That's a lot of jaggies.

Dynamic scaling?

It looks sharp in some areas and then jaggies zone in others.

[visual hill]

DRS is often used in Switch games nowadays, including first-party ones

[light gate]

Yeah, its probably DRS to stay at 60.

I think the scariest thing is that the game was ported from PowerPC to ARM.

Technically they're about the same, RISC.

But PowerPC is normally a bit of a mess.

Makes me wonder if we can get almost near stock emulation for PowerPC Macs on Apple Silicon, but I doubt it considering all the nonsense PowerPC does.

[visual hill]

Dolphin runs really well on Apple Silicon

the M2 Pro in the Mac mini can tackle full MMU games like Rogue Squadron at 2× resolution

[river veldt]

are you guys still talking about video games

[mossy flume]

More gameplay and some further investigation gives me the sense that this is actually a remaster as advertised. Just a damn good one.

[river veldt]

lots of numbers and abbreviations are scary

[static bluff]

This is difficult but addictive, thanks for calling out the good deal.

[river veldt]

i tried the Zelda version and it was too hard for me

[gaunt marten]

I recommend bard mode!

It turns the game into chess

[river veldt]

chess is also too hard

[mossy flume]

And some Tallon

[gaunt marten]

Well it's easier than actual chess because there are fewer pieces

[visual hill]

looks really good by Switch standards, very convincing rain effect

(but again, some GameCube games had pretty amazing rain)

[slim thorn]

huh, were those water physics in the original? I never tried shooting a puddle

[visual hill]

I think so, not 100% sure

[slim thorn]

so far this is mostly making me realize how good the original looked for a Gamecube game

I'm blind to actual graphical fidelity but I appreciate details like rain on the visor

[sour hill]

The original did look really good

[mossy flume]

Yes, but not as convincingly.

[river veldt]

you look really good

[mossy flume]

You get the same if you wade into the water

Prime 2 expanded on the water physics

[visual hill]

GameCube do be like that

[fresh bane]

I mean, gamecube was an incredibly powerful console

Have you seen RE4 or RE1 in that thing?

RE1 2002 looks better than early ps3 titles

[visual hill]

Burnout 1/2 are apparently best played on GameCube (maybe Xbox but that's harder to emulate)

Burnout 3 never had a GameCube port because of file size restrictions

[slim thorn]

that's right, I remembered there were ripples if you walked into the water but wasn't sure if shooting it also did that

[mossy flume]

Hecc, Prime Remaster is already on torrent sites.

Time to boot it up in 4K

[thorny loom]

lol that was fast

[mossy flume]

Yeah, I clock it at about 59 minutes after release.

So someone downloaded it immediately which took some time, then immediately took the time to extract it, pack it and upload it. Which would take some time as well.

No delay.

[arctic fern]

Might be automated at this point

[mossy flume]

Probably is.

I see the release group is a prolific one, they probably do have a way to automate it.

Huh, there is lots of games... I wonder why I stopped using this thi-

joycon drifts

That's why...

I wonder if I can fix this permanently, there is gotta be a way instead of getting free joycon replacements.

I wonder if the Hall sensor is a meme.

[green fulcrum]

They released two promo images for Professor Layton and the New World of Steam!

[quiet swift]

https://kotaku.com/microsoft-activision-blizzard-call-duty-game-pass-1850087709

As in, sell off call of duty

[heady bridge]

I mean, considering the vast reason you’d even buy that company is CoD due to their mismanagement/lack of anything really for most of their other IP I can see Microsoft fighting that one hard.

[quiet swift]

Ehh. The King part of ABK pulls in a ,etricnfuckton, and would give them a leg in mobile games that they don't have yet

[gaunt marten]

I thought they stopped making professor Layton games

This is exciting

[quiet swift]

(And Blizz proper isn't nothing to sneeze at either but obviously a different scale )

[green fulcrum]

I'd buy it solely for Spyro.

And Warcraft

And Starcraft

[heady bridge]

King aside none of those come close to pulling the money in that CoD does

[rancid herald]

Does anyone know what the symbol on wolf link's head is?

[fresh bane]

It doesn't have any name nor is it really inspired by any real symbol, it's never exactly explained what it actually means either

[rancid herald]

hrmp

okay

[light gate]

I really want Metroid Prime Remastered, goddam it.

[harsh kestrel]

Izzy detected

And I don't mean the mod Izzy lol

[fresh bane]

Popular theories are that it symbolizes Hyrule surrounded by the Twilight, or the influence of the Twilight

[harsh kestrel]

insert Twilight Princess jokes here

[unreal idol]

FUCK

Now I gotta get the expanded Switch online service

Nooooooooooo I have been bestest by my corporate overlords

Great Direct though Holy shit I unironically want that fashion game day 1 gimme gimme gimme

[cloud tree]

Damnnn this Direct was awesome!

Sadly I couldn't watch it live

[mossy flume]

The Hall Effect sensor is a genuine improvement over the potentiometer sensor. It solves the problem for good and it's a much more sensitive and precise sensor.
Further, here's a detailed guide on how to replace the left or right joycon stick.

https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Left+Joy-Con+Joystick+Replacement/113182
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Right+Joy-Con+Joystick+Replacement/113185

iFixit sells affordable replacement sticks. I've used that to replace one of my own.

I wasn't aware that hall effect sensors for the joycon were floating around. I might swap those out...

[light gate]

Thank you for clarifying, although I do want to say that the Hall sensors I saw have a gap.

I know its silly to worry about this, but dust or water could get in from the replacements.

So I find it weird they made these hall sticks only for them to not cover it, but maybe some black tape could fix this idk.

[heady bridge]

Quick thought. Now that Game Boy Advance titles are being emulated for the Switch… Mother 3 added to the service when? >_>

[unreal idol]

Never

Nintendo will never do it because of the effort it would take to localize it

Even if they just used Clyde's script, the game's broad themes about capitalism and over-development, and the Magypsy characters, would be difficult to manage in the west

[mossy flume]

Hogwarts Legacy has beaten Cyberpunk 2077 for the most simultaneous viewers for a single player game on Twitch, reaching a peak of 1,253,916 viewers across all broadcasts. Cyberpunk 2077 held the record at 1.14 million.

[thorny loom]

Nice

[wind stump]

anyone got a quick summary of last night's direct?

had to slep

[mossy flume]

Ah yes, I found one earlier

One moment

[unreal idol]

I have a list of games and release dates

https://mobilesyrup.com/2023/02/08/nintendo-direct-february-2023-recap/

[mossy flume]

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2023/02/nintendo-direct-gives-us-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom-details-metroid-and-more/

[unreal idol]

It does not list the GB or GBA games though

Just that they exist

[mossy flume]

Mine does

Lists everything

[unreal idol]

Yeah

Was actually looking for the GBA list lol

So thanks for that

[mossy flume]

Golden Sun and Metroid Fusion in the future.

[wind stump]

cheers lads

reads articles
Metroid Prime, GB/GBA on Switch, a Advance Wars date, all pretty gud ngl ngl

[mossy flume]

‘Twas a good day

Metroid Prime Remaster is quality. Midnight Aegis Approved.

[wind stump]

only problem i see is how much DLC ninty is leaning on

but
shrugs
that how mafia works

[mossy flume]

Yeah, they’re at the end of Switch’s life, so there’s not much else to put out. Tears of the Kingdom is the last major release, with the successor console apparently generally presumed to be coming out in 2024.

[wind stump]

That's what I was suspecting, I bet E3 will be the big reveal of the next console along with a new Mario

[mossy flume]

Tears of the Kingdom also marks a price increase. It’s $70 USD.

[wind stump]

Or Prime 4 news

maybe both?

[mossy flume]

I suspect Prime 4 will be on the next console, but E3 could be a thing too yeah.

We’ll see

[wind stump]

we already know that the big players are planning on their own, non-E3 showings so they have to be confident in what they have

i just say "E3" as a general "Kinda June-ish" time

[uneven epoch]

catchin up on game announcements now. maybe people will actually play ghost trick when its gettin a multiplatform release

and yet that is still somehow less surprising than a new layton game. i thought they stopped makin these!

[gaunt marten]

Same

[uneven epoch]

now all i need for happiness is ace attorney 7

Nintendo wont be at e3 this year

Nor wil microsoft or sony

The last few Team Fortress summer events have only been item updates. But this year, we're planning on shipping a full-on update-sized update — with items, maps, taunts, unusual effects, war paints and who knows what else?! Which means we need Steam Workshop content! YOUR Steam Workshop content!

[river veldt]

Heavy update confirmed????

[visual hill]

it may not be heavy update, but hopefully it will be a thicc update

[fresh bane]

!!!!!!

It's been 3 years since they posted on the blog!!!!

TF2 is back???

[quiet swift]

"It's been 84 years..."

From here on I'm totally blind on the game

[fresh bane]

I had no idea you could choose the EX color for the cutscenes

And alongisde the crimson red coat mod for Dante... man

[slim thorn]

okay, now I have finished Planescape: Torment

aside from one weak segment before the endgame, the writing definitely lived up to the hype I've always heard for it

never have I been so satisfied after ||talking the final boss into not even fighting me||

[gaunt marten]

Well done

[slim thorn]

and all the gameplay jank you'd expect (both from it being old and from me not liking RPGs) was present, but mostly very easy to deal with by using a walkthrough

[gaunt marten]

Now see the other dialogue chains

[slim thorn]

now that you mention it I did want to try one other thing...

[astral field]

Oh wow! I guess the janitor and office plant finally got some assistance!

[slim thorn]

ok maybe more than one thing

[fresh bane]

Metroid Prime spoilers
|| I don't know how true this is but this is apparently Samus unmasked in the remastered, it looks pretty similar to the original so I don't think it's fake, but it's pretty interesting to see how different yet how similar she is to other Samus appearances ||

[slim thorn]

buys Disco Elysium

[mossy flume]

Ahh, yeah that's probably accurate.

[river veldt]

i own that on 2 platforms now and I still havent played it (bringi will actually probably kill me)

[fresh bane]

Youre gonna love Disco Elysium

[mossy flume]

Glad they fixed the hair color, at least

[fresh bane]

[mossy flume]

Prime 1 famously makes her hair color wrong.

[rose rose]

I bounced off Disco Elysium three times and then became deeply engrossed the fourth.

[mossy flume]

Interesting changes to the face, though...

[river veldt]

all i know is that the main character is a sad wet pathetic man

[slim thorn]

yeah I basically just played D&D Elysium and you've all heard how much people rave about it so this is probably as safe as a game purchase can get

[river veldt]

pathetic little meow meow

[fresh bane]

Disco is so fucking good

fuck

[river veldt]

fuck

form

fork

[random steppe]

I really want to play Disco Elysium but it's one of those games that I need to make sure I have an appropriate amount of time for

[fresh bane]

It's one of those games

[slim thorn]

for Serious Gamerz

[fresh bane]

the kind of game that you kinda have to sit down and go ''Alright, I'm gonna be doing this for a couple of hours''

and mentally prepare

and bring snacks

[random steppe]

Like with persona 5, I knew that it's one of those game that if you start, you kinda have to finish

[river veldt]

its one of those games that im kind of intimidated by

[random steppe]

Stopping for 3 months and coming back just means you are in hell

[slim thorn]

I was intimidated by Planescape too

[quiet swift]

"He'd done that with Maud, his missus, before they were married. They'd come here to spoon and, on one memorable occasion, fork."

[river veldt]

is that H2G2

[quiet swift]

Good Omens

[river veldt]

fuck

i get my funny British books mixed up

[fresh bane]

https://tenor.com/view/disco-elysium-sky-revachol-martinaise-gif-24976324

look at that beautiful menu screen

and map of the game, technically

[river veldt]

is it moving

[fresh bane]

golly

[slim thorn]

also the store/library banner image

[fresh bane]

but seriously Disco is a fucking beautiful game you're going to love it

and I'm interested in knowing what route you'll take

[slim thorn]

well the easy thing I can tell you now is that I always play the goody two shoes in these kinds of games

[fresh bane]

Hmmm

but what is good?

[quiet swift]

Certainly not The Expression

[slim thorn]

even in Planescape I became Neutral Good and then Lawful Good, backslid into Neutral Good once but never lost the Good part

I wonder if Elysium would make sense to stream, considering how many of you actually played that one

[fresh bane]

I mean that's up to you I guess

I will say it's fun seeing streamers play it because the game can connect to twitch chat and they can help you out and beef your stats

that's fun

[quiet swift]

I occasionally streamed it on Twitch, to a grand audience of none

[visual hill]

that was me in Dark Forces 2 until I accidentally killed one of those R2D2-style robots… and now I'm considered to be leaning towards the dark side

don't robots understand a not-very-honest "sry"?

[quiet swift]

👔 "Sounds like a 'responsibility'! You don't like those."

[slim thorn]

I think Planescape got confused about my alignment when I met the final recruitable companion, who's extremely Lawful Neutral, and ended up killing instead of recruiting him because he was violently judgmental about the amoral tiefling thief on my team and she was having none of it

[fresh bane]

👔 Bratan! Now is the time!

[slim thorn]

(I reloaded a few times to experiment with that dialogue tree but ultimately stuck with that first result because it just felt right)

[quiet swift]

👔 "Oh yeah baby! Fuck this place up!"

[fresh bane]

Fuck does Cuno care?!

Cuno doesn't fookin' caeh!

[quiet swift]

God I hate Cuno

[fresh bane]

Cuno is the best

Escalate, Cuno!

[quiet swift]

No Cuno!

[fresh bane]

''Do it f***t! SET ME FREE!''

The fucking hardest interaction in the game

but this is already getting into light spoilers

I love that in Disco you can straight up just finish the game by || dying of a heart attack in the beginning or SHOOTING A FUCKING CHILD ||

and it's not a game over it's a legitimate ending to the game

[slim thorn]

I won't click that of course but I'm imagining Stanley refusing to leave his office

[fresh bane]

Something like that yeah

[slim thorn]

[fresh bane]

Good luck detective

[quiet swift]

[slim thorn]

first challenge is getting it to run

[fresh bane]

and so it begins /s

[slim thorn]

…weather volume?

[slim thorn]

"Very Low 3%"

[quiet swift]

[fresh bane]

[fresh bane]

[sour hill]

That's 2 more than I would have guessed

[slim thorn]

why indeed

[fresh bane]

Welp, already doing it, might as well commit

[river veldt]

fuck you asshole

[fresh bane]

''Fuck you asshole!!''

[quiet swift]

Do it, it's glorious

[river veldt]

is this game fully voice acted?

[quiet swift]

(save scumming is permitted)

[fresh bane]

Originally it wasn't

But the final cut does have voice acting

[quiet swift]

Cap: almost - everything except the choices you yourself make is

[fresh bane]

and the voice acting is goood

[quiet swift]

INDEED, BRATAN

[river veldt]

fine ive been convinced im downalofing it as we speak

[slim thorn]

that and "stage directions" for NPCs

[river veldt]

all 7.7 gb

[slim thorn]

but so far every line of dialogue (and internal monologue ascribed to a specific... trait? voice?) is voiced acted

[river veldt]

is Harry as sad wet and pathetic as ive heard

[slim thorn]

I mean, you're probably aware that the opening of the game is you waking up from a drunken stupor with no idea who you are and what you're doing there
