Not a full remake and some scenes are more overhauled than others but it's definitely an extensive proper remaster rather than a port in higher res called such...
Have you finished XC3 yet? He's actually a gigachad.Rex became the megachad who is able to wield Pyra and Mythra at the same time. Holy shit.

This is literally why I don't buy digital stuff at Nintendo platforms. I don't trust them in that regard. The only times I've spent some money have been with Hades and FFVII after I was gifted a 25€ card. Money I would've probably spent in SNES games because I want to "own" them, not have them be part of a subscription service. Same with GB and GBA games now.
TotK for $50 ($45 if you can find a discount on eShop gift cards) isn't too bad. The downside is you're at the mercy of Nintendo's online service and their inevitable sunsetting of the Switch eShop in 10 years or so.

Against my better judgement I went ahead and bought a voucher. I had some Best Buy credit rotting away and got a $100 gift card for $90 and got Zelda and Pikmin. I'll just grab physical copies of those games off eBay at some point.This is literally why I don't buy digital stuff at Nintendo platforms. I don't trust them in that regard.

I can definitely see your concern. Tears of the Kingdom looks iterative while Breath of the Wild was revolutionary, but at the same time it is near impossible to recreate the experience of Zelda becoming open world. Nintendo's marketing for Tears is also half hearted to Breath. Tears will almost certainly be one of the best games of the year, but it won't be as impressive as playing Breath of the Wild for the first time.I think Tears of the Kingdom has kind of put me off. It looks like Breath of the Wild with gimmicks, and that’s kind of not what I wanted here.

Its a very niche game to be sure, specifically aimed at people who enjoy the otaku aesthetic (specifically, idol culture).I played a bit of Tokyo Miarage Sessions FE Encore today on Ryu, great performance, but not sure Im liking the game itself despite of the praises it has received.
It's a JRPG I expect not many people have played.
So far the entire game has been very uninteresting.
At the "Famitsu/Dengeki Game Awards 2022" held on March 18, "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom" was selected as the most anticipated new title for 2023.
Commenting on the award, Aonuma, producer of the "The Legend of Zelda" series, said, "This is a very wonderful award.
The entire development team is delighted to receive such a wonderful award! In the previous title, Breath of the Wild, players experienced a new Zelda world where they are free to go anywhere and do anything they want, and in the sequel, Tears of the Kingdom, we have packed in even more new gameplay where players' freedom of imagination will change the game world. I am sure that all of you who voted for this game will be very happy with the results. I am sure that everyone who voted for this game will find it a fresh surprise, and I hope that you will enjoy the "unknown" Hyrule as much as you want to. Thank you!
I wonder how expensive a PS5 Pro will be. They can't seriously charge 600$ for it can they? Even if its 50% more powerful with more storage it will be a hard sell. They will have to do some crazy comparisons to show off legit framerate gains etc. Like a serious marketing blitz with Digital Foundry.The PS5 Slim is the only one that make sense.
PS5 Pro makes no sense. This generation barely got started thanks to covid.
Yeah if the Pro does launch end of next year that's 4 years after the gen started. For example ps4 pro was 3 years after launch, and while that gen didn't have covid it did have a very slow start due to publishers entering that gen believing that mobile had killed consoles. When the systems launched at record breaking sales they had to scramble to change their strategies which led to the launch period in 2013 and all of 2014 being painfully bad. I think people need to sit back and remember just how bad that early gen period was, the top games in 2014 were dragon age inquisition and shadow of mordor.....I get a hypothetical PS5 Pro, but it does feel weird since the whole perception of time got thrown out of whack due to COVID. What I don't get is that rumored handheld. It seems completely pointless, especially since streaming handhelds usually support a variety of services and the PS one would almost certainly be locked down to only PS5. Just make an official PS streaming app, put it on mobile (and Steam) and call it a day.
I agree they need it. You have to release something new as soon the hardware bump is ready. Because if you wait even a little bit then it won't be a meaningful upgrade. Then you might as well skip it all together and start working on the PS6. They will start assembling the PS6 after the Pro releaes and it should be ready in 2028 or wtvr.Yeah if the Pro does launch end of next year that's 4 years after the gen started.

This gen did get hit a bit harder because of covid and the chip issue though. Last gen really hit its stride in 2015 with games like dying light, witcher 3, bloodborne, arkham knight and mgs V (though that was cross gen). 2021 should have been this gen's 2015 but covid pushed everything into this year. So really we're a year behind the pace of last gen but since the ps5 pro would be launching a year later than ps4's did that kinda evens everything out ultimately. The issue people are mostly having is our warped perception of time post covid. It doesn't feel like the ps5 has been out for 2.5 years already.
Personally I think we need it and not even because of stuff like ray tracing which I think is a waste of time right now. We need it because no one optimizes games anymore. More and more console games' performance modes are coming in at 1080/60 and some aren't even high end intensive AAA games, some are AA stuff like evil west. However even the super optimized games like gow ragnarok are still "just" 1440/60 despite being a suped up ps4 game. We can always use the extra power even if RT isn't a focus.
I think when tom henderson reported the new drive-less ps5 coming he said it's meant to replace the current disc model eventually. They might phase out the digital model too since I think the plan with this is to sell it for less than the disc model and the drive will be X amount sold separately. We'll have to wait and see I guess. I agree if they were to keep all these out there and also introduce a Pro it can get messy for the average consumer.I agree they need it.

Also the Pro will most likely be pushed with the new GTA game next year or 2025. Sony wants its out so they can do marketing with Rockstar I bet.
But I wonder how Sony plans to juggle all the different SKUs. Because the PS5 slim will most likely be diskless. But they need to still have regular PS5 with disk drives around. And the PS5 Pro will probably have disk drive too. Maybe even have both as well. Its gonna get messy when they have 3-4 different types of PS5s on store shelves. The prices for all of them will be all over the place. And on top of that you have a 500$+ VR headset in the wild too. Maybe they should consider some type of exclusive PS5 Pro + VR bundle people can save a couple hundred dollars with just so they can move headsets faster.
There is a place for a Pro/half step console but yeah the timing is all wrong.I get a hypothetical PS5 Pro, but it does feel weird since the whole perception of time got thrown out of whack due to COVID.
They got a official streaming app and its terrible.What I don't get is that rumored handheld.
