Isn't that just information about what you and your friends did differently? I think telltale had something similar where it would tell you how many people did this versus this, and so on. Can you explain it a bit more? When I heard it I thought the shared story part is similar to what I said about telltale, in that it tracks what you and others do. I've been meaning to check it out. Maybe when this drops, I'll pick up the others and play them one by one finally. Plus I like that they have real actors, so it kinda feels like a game/movie mixture. Also, this DPA is the first season, so I wonder what they will have up their sleeves for the next set of games. I got it from the trailer cover art, but not as much from the trailer itself. It reminds me more of an escape room game mixed with outlast maybe.

Storage has gotten a lot better over the years. With Switch cards, they hold a lot more storage, and are probably more reliable. If anything I would be down for studios to adopt what Switch has done with their games, as I imagine it's cheaper than disc based, and also is easier to produce I imagine. I have an external HDD for that very reason lol. I bought a 1TB one for my xbone years back, just because COD and a couple other games were taking up space. It helped a bit, but even so, I didn't have much left for other games. I think they could still figure out a way to at least add the campaign for COD on the disc, or multiple discs if needed. The multiplayer mode can be a downloaded anyway, since it makes a lot more sense to just have them download that when they get the game. They need internet anyway, so I think that would work. But yeah, COD is a massive game. On top of that, they sometimes make you download graphical stuff like textures and so on. I don't think they're required, so you could maybe save some storage by skipping that portion.

I'm just lazy so I usually opt to get the digital versions these days. And half the time you do get a physical game, they don't include a manual or any other goodies in the mix, some don't even include the full game like with the recent MW2 and a lot of the newer Switch games that drop with just a slip with a code to download the game. I would rather collect retro games physically, but most new games I feel are going to outright drop physical media and will focus on selling digital media going forward. I think it's the inevitable future. If games came out with something more, I'd buy the physical version. At least include a manual, maybe a poster and some stickers. I'm sure that would entice more digital buyers to jump at that. Hell include a funko figure, people love those dumb things lol. Or include some kind of figure or collectible. Nothing too costly though, because then we're getting into collectors edition territory.

I have a TCL Roku TV in my room, I'd say about a 32 inch, I don't remember. Currently it gets the job done for me, so I don't see the need to get a bigger tv. I also have a TCL Roku 65 inch tv in my living room, but I don't usually game on it. Though I wouldn't mind doing so, but I think I'd rather find a way to connect my PC to my TV instead. Maybe I'll buy a big HDMI cable to make it happen.

For sure horizontal for me. I never liked standing my consoles up, even if they were made with it in mind. Like the 360, I always sat that beast down, because I was always paranoid someone would knock it over if I had it standing up. I felt safer doing it this way anyway, standing it also caused issues with the disc if I remember correctly. I know it grinded a disc or two of mine in the past.

Anyone going to pick this one up? It just came out today, and to me it feels like it kinda came out of nowhere. I know it was announced a while ago, but I haven't seen anything about it otherwise. I feel like they just released this without much fanfare because maybe they have another stinker on their hands. I hear it's getting mediocre reviews as well. From the likes of: https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/gaming/resident-evil-reverse-review-e2-80-93-a-massive-miss-for-capcom/ar-AA13nnbz and https://www.dexerto.com/reviews/resident-evil-reverse-review-1967192/ It kinda reminds me of the various attempts they've tried to make co-op shooters/pvp games. It never seems to go right when they spin-off the series a bit. Has anyone checked it out yet? Is it worth checking out? It has 6 player pvp, so that in a way sounds fun. I want to hear what you guys think though. Or are you guys going to pass on this one?

Yeah I was wondering about the dates of the games too. I think the newest one on there was from 2021. My guess is maybe they took a break during Covid, but even then why not include more games from 2021 and 2022? And I don't think this was live or televised so it's not like they had to worry about Covid to give away these awards. I think I might actually check out Cloudpunk, and maybe the Solas game.

Nintendo hasn't been given many COD titles over the recent years. I remember they made some games for the Wii and I think maybe one or two on the Wii U, but I may be wrong on the latter there. Either way, COD hasn't been on a Nintendo console in a long time. But, I feel like they could do something for Switch owners. You already have a catalog of older COD titles, why not re-release some of them somewhat remastered but just enough for the Switch?

Nier Automata recently came out for the Nintendo Switch, and from what I see it's getting decent reviews. It's not the same situation as the recently released Alan Wake Remastered for the Switch. That looks to be a mess currently graphically and performance wise. From all the reviews I've looked at, they all seem to be good to great ratings. It's always weird seeing big games working on the switch, but it's good to see one that actually does. Has anyone here played it? How does it compare to the original released?

I just realized this is dropping next month, November 8th. So like a couple weeks away. Who's going to be picking it up? I hope it turns out to be a great game. To see a good game in the series again would be a nice breath of fresh air. We need Sonic to finally succeed. Has anyone pre-ordered it? Or are you waiting for reviews to come out before taking the chance on it? I wouldn't blame ya, I'm going to wait until I hear reviews on it before I consider buying it.

Watch Dogs 2 for me. I really enjoyed every minute I played the game. That is until I encountered a glitch at one point that resulted in a lot of progress to be lost. I thankfully didn't lose too much, but it was quite annoying to say the least. But yeah, I could see Watch Dogs and AC mixing well together. I wish they'd try it out.

Have things gotten better since release? I heard the big reason they were having problems at first, was due to a ddos attack or something, but I think it was also partly to do with so many people jumping on at once. Either way, have things kinda cleared up since the release? I haven't heard much fuss about the wait times or the problems anymore. There are many games that deal with rocky launches. Overwatch 2 seemed to get through it mostly.

I don't even have service for my phone as well, so I'd be out of luck when it comes to playing the newest COD. Though I think they me trying to push this for all of their games, so I could see some of the last few games getting similar treatment. I could see something like that happening.

Did any of the games/devs/studios you know end up winning one of the awards during the Scottish Game Awards? The winners for the recent show was announced, and you can find them at the link below. https://gamefreaks365.com/scottish-games-awards-winners-announced/ Most of the people I don't recognize, and I can't say I've heard of most of the games mentioned, though Cloudpunk sounds familiar and also looks pretty dope. The game winners can be found below: Cloudpunk won; Art and Animation, Best Large-Budget Game, Creativity Audio went to SOLAS 128 Best Educational Programme went to Dundee & Angus College Best Small-Budget Game went to The Baby in Yellow Technical Achievement went to From the Depths Tools and Technology went to Dislectek

The new Gotham Knights dropped and I hear it's not that good. Many commented the combat wasn't great and felt like a chore. I have yet to play it to put my opinion out there, but I'm not sure I want to bother with it. Maybe I'll pick it up as it goes on sale, but for now I'll pass on it. Anyway, where does this leave the future of Batman? I know the Suicide Squad game is coming out soon, and I hear that connects more with the Arkham series than Gotham Knights does. I really hope Suicide Squad turns out to be good though. What could be next for Batman? Will we see a spinoff with Robin in his own game? Maybe Batgirl or Batwoman. I think there's a Superman game coming from Rocksteady too, so that's something to look forward to, even though I'm not too big on Superman. Discuss what you think is next for Batman, and the universe as a whole.

Das a good question! For me it's quite a few. GTA San Andreas - Idk, I feel like the beginning is an iconic start. From the "Oh shit, here we go again" to riding your bike and trying to evade a rival gang. It hasn't aged the greatest, but I still have some nostalgia for it. Skyrim - It starts slow at first and then it puts you into it pretty fast. I love the freedom you got from the start pretty much. The Last of Us - Had to include this too. It starts so fast, and doesn't ever let up. And then of course that ending to the start, still tough to sit through. GTA V - Putting you right into a bank heist, gotta love it. I also loved how good it looked with the snow, I wish more missions took place in snow covered levels. I wish GTA would have more snow in the world period. At least put it up in the mountains. I want more dynamic weather that includes snow in future GTAs please. 😄 Silent Hill 2 - It's an iconic start to one of the best horror games ever. Even though I never got too far, I still remember that start. Metal Gear Solid 3 - I don't remember much about the start, but I remember it starting out great. I think you get injured at the beginning and have to fix yourself up. I remember you eating a snake. I think that's how it started off. I haven't played MGS3 in probably 10 years, so it's tough remembering some bits. There's lots more, so as I think of them, I'll pop back in from time to time.

Oh for sure, COD is a massive game, sometimes a bit too massive. I remember when it would sometimes eat up the whole damn HD to the point it would just be a COD game and nothing else. I still think though, that if there's too much data for a single disc, then give us a few more discs to complete it. I know it's not ideal as it costs money to produce a disc, but it would keep physical media alive. But I don't see that ever happening like how it did back in the early days of disc media, like when many of the Final Fantasy games came out with multiple discs. And I get that blu-rays don't hold it all, and I think with a game like COD it makes more sense. But even so, I think they could fit the campaign at the very least. Multiplayer won't last forever, but the campaign could at least be played. I'm sure they could fit that on a disc or two.

Idk, I disagree. I think the Xbox could easily go back to any number they want. They haven't been consistent with their names anyway, so at this point I doubt it even matters. They could call it anything they want. I prefer the idea of just having it be called Xbox. And maybe add the date to it, so Xbox 2022 or something. I would love for that to happen, but I don't ever see Microsoft jumping in, at least not for a while yet. Would be cool to see happen though and I would consider buying one. Well maybe.

The controller was never sold. It was given away to people in the UK for a KFC contest. I don't know who won, or how many were given away. I checked Ebay, but didn't notice anything for sale. I even checked the UK ebay and found nothing there. Maybe someone is selling a controller skin version of it, but from what I see, it's not available for sale. Maybe it will be in the future.

Yeah I think it's mostly due to prolonged use. For me, I used to play a lot of Call of Duty on the 360, and due to that I think my constant playing eventually resulted in my controller having drift. Usually the left analog stick goes bad. It may be because the melee button is the push of the analog stick. But yeah, the more you use it, the more likely drift will occur.

Sorry to disappoint, but it's kinda a broken mess on the Switch. But, if you're willing to overlook the problems, you might have some fun with it. For me, I think my eyes would start to bug out with how tough it looks to see in this version. I really think they should have postponed this, or even cancelled it. They shouldn't have tried to pack in the remastered version, they should have utilized the 360 version instead.

There are so many sadly. I remember a while back when I worked for a site that was about video games, and we were searching for indie studios and other studios, and I remember encountering many studios that are closed or were aquired by another studio/company. A big name that comes to mind, is Acclaim. They were big in the 90s if I remember correctly. I know they made some stinkers, but I remember there was some good games by them as well. Midway is also closed, and they were a big dev for quite a while. They developed Mortal Kombat. I forgot that Neversoft closed down. I'm pretty sure they developed the Tony Hawk Games originally.

If something is too good to be true, then it's probably too good to be true. I've played a couple apps that I would consider scams. There was one app where you'd play these games, get credits and then when you had enough you could take your pick of prizes. The prizes were literally stuff you could buy on Amazon for $2-$15 or so. The highest priced items are better, but are still cheap junk. I ended up getting a phone stand and a table lamp that I still use. I didn't pay anything, so just wasted my time pretty much. 😞 I haven't played any of the games that promise to pay you real cash, but I'm sure the majority of them are scammy and promote grinding more than anything. There was also one of those claw machine apps where you'd pay credits to try and get a prize. I wonder how many people win stuff on there.

If you have an iPhone, you may want to check out Elgato's Screen Link app. I haven't used it, but it looks like you can connect that through OBS as well. And may give you a bit more options on production. Sadly I don't think it's available for Android, though I thought I read somewhere they did. Other than that, I think most screen mirror apps would work. I know of Miracast(Android) is what I used with my Windows PC. But that was to mirror my PC to my TV. But it should work with phones to PC as well.

I did find it weird that Konami decided to skip SH1 and go for SH2 to make a remaster, but after hearing what others have said, it kinda makes sense to start with the biggest game of your series, and SH2 clearly was that game. It's talked about in discussions about classic horror games. As well, SH1 connects with SH3, so my guess now, is that they will focus on SH2, then make a SH1 & SH3 combo set. Since I imagine SH1 isn't that long, they could probably get away making it a two parter. This way we can get SH1 & 3 together to connect their stories better. If SH2 remake does really well, which I think it's going to end up selling like crazy, then they will for sure look into remaking SH1 and 3. And maybe even 4. But I am doubtful they will bother with 4. But you never know. What do you think? They could release SH1 & 3 separately, but I think it'd make more sense to include both, just for new fans to understand that these two games are connected.
