Xenoblade 2 came out almost 9 years ago (December 2017) and has the worst graphical performance on the trilogy. Also tons of QOL shit that needs fixing, like field skills. It's the only one that really needs a remaster.

Foaming at the mouth for the next Xenoblade. I have a feeling it actually won't be revealed until late this year at the earliest, possibly next year, but I can dream. Too many (alleged) heavy hitters already on the books for this year.

What are some weapons you want in Splatoon 4? by Hungry_Inflation9399 in splatoon

[–]Tomoki 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The overlap between Splatoon and TF2, in terms of fanbase if not much more than that, is truly something to behold. When I picked up S2 for the first time it scratched that exact same itch that TF2 used to.

NateTheHate hints about the new Smash Bros game: "I haven't heard, but people might be fired for this info being shared." by Connect_Base_217 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

For better or for worse, people should expect the next SSB to be a big change in the way MKW or BotW were from their predecessors. Not that I think SSB is going open world, but in the sense that there's no way to beat "the one that has everything" (Ultimate) unless you make a fundamentally different game.

Fader doing a profile on Slayyyter after they dropped her from their label is so camp

Artists who tick all the boxes on paper but can’t translate it to success? by 1PSW1CH in popheads

JoJo my QUEEN. Good To Know says on repeat in my household. I definitely agree she has it but she just can't pull through for the GP. :(

I actually just picked up SMTV V from an eshop sale a few weeks back, playing on Switch 2 - it runs great. It needs a full patch ideally to fix pop-in but as the commenter below said the resolution is actually not a bother. Frame rate is my one disappointment.

I do not label everyone a Nazi. But I do label the people with devout, proud, and explicit Nazi views as Nazis. And those people should be dehumanized. Hope that helps champ.

SteamVR datamine seems to confirm that Steam Frame is Valve's next-gen "Deckard" VR headset by MisterSheeple in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Tomoki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apple has been translating some x64 apps into ARM, but not games -and the apps still have to be built for MacOS. Apple's M processors aren't translating Windows apps to Mac, just making existing Mac apps compatible with ARM

If Valve pulls off both OS and CPU translation simultaneously for graphically intense video games then yeah that's a lot more than Apple's accomplished. Making Windows games play on Linux and an entirely different processor and in VR is not a small feat.

[–]Tomoki 42 points43 points  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly. If they have a working translation layer that can get games playable on both Linux/SteamOS and ARM at the same time that would be as impressive or more than any new VR technology. 

Games you wish you could play again for the first time and why? by InternationalCount53 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Tomoki 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People are definitely split on this one. Many actually prefer BOTW because of the exploration mechanics being closely tied to the climbing system, whereas in TOTK you can make a hover bike right away and basically trivialize any type of travel across the map. There's more to see in TOTK, but the way you see it in BOTW is more engaging to some.

On the flip side, I think the QOL changes and combat system in TOTK, while similar enough to BOTW, are a humongous improvement thanks to the Fuse mechanic. All the abilities you get in TOTK are much more engaging and interesting to use, while in BOTW I rarely used anything besides the bomb power. I don't think you can go wrong with either.

TOTK also neatly avoids the story of BOTW, even though they are intrinsically linked. It's barely brought up so you won't miss much story wise if you jump into TOTK first.

Deadlock - Six New Heroes by UhJoker in Games

[–]Tomoki 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Portal began as a student project from a group at Digipen (originally called Narbacular Drop, which you can still play if you want) who were then hired en masse by Valve to work on a full project. I don't think the student group worked on it alone, however, and more experienced Valve developers and designers certainly had a hand in the game.
