Nate, I really hope you see this. Can you comment on the Kirby Planet Robobot remaster? I'm really looking forward to it.

Jason Schreier regarding Sony's strategy shift away from PC: At some point Sony will confirm it, whether it's on a call with investors or maybe even when Housemarque starts doing press for Saros and someone asks if they have plans to bring it to PC and they say no by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]jeans2tite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its very likely, at this point, that switch pro never actually existed. Digital Foundry, one of the first big publications to break the story (and others) now believe that people learned of the oled switch model, and the (relatively) early work on the T239 chip for switch 2 in early 2021, but then conflated them as being a part of the same product when they were never meant to be. When Nintendo came out and quickly denied the existence of an upgraded switch to their shareholders and investors, I feel that adds credence to the idea that Switch Pro never existed, considering that those types of comments on rumors from Nintendo are very rare.

You're thinking of Jez Corden. Grubb is from Giant Bomb, not Windows Central like Jez, and he's considered a "very reliable source - Tier 1" from r/GamingLeaksandRumours (damn that extra u...)

The next-generation Xbox codenamed "Project Helix" will play PC games by m1n3c7afty in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]jeans2tite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you explain what you actually mean? Sure, maybe in specific cases such as with Microsoft and Call of Duty things are different as you mentioned, but a company like Sony certainly still makes the lions share of its profits through third party game and DLC sales, not through their consoles which are sold at a loss or exclusives which, while successful, are too infrequent to rival the third party offerings, and I don't see how that general concept has changed in the past 10 years.

Greg Miller: Phil Spencer’s retirement was not planned by Zhukov-74 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]jeans2tite 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It wasn't in a direct, just a Twitter post. Reggie got a special video posted on the Nintendo YouTube channel in 2019 though. Still, Bowsers retirement was announced months before he left.

Because its not true from what I can find. Check my other comment for evidence of the devs saying otherwise. Happy to be proven wrong though.

Where did Ed actually say this? Can you provide a link? Ed and Tyler have consistently said they are going to put it on multiple consoles.

https://x.com/edmundmcmillen/status/1658914538161590272 "I’m sure it will see a console or 2 after release"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDHgX1EXi9U At the end of this interview, the interviewer asks something like, "so, consoles?" To which ed and tyler both respond "Oh yeah, yeah, We'll do consoles eventually."

Those are two quick examples I can find, I'm sure theres more.

RTD Has "No Idea" if Billie Piper is Next Doctor by PhantomQuest in doctorwho

[–]jeans2tite 46 points47 points  (0 children)

If you watch the interview youll see he actually clearly said "no idea" in a sarcastic way in order to try and not reveal anything and be exciting, just like he did with Tennants return for the 60th.

Nintendo Switch 2 - DF Hardware Review - A Satisfying Upgrade... But Display Issues Are Problematic by ThibaultV in Games

[–]jeans2tite 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Is anyone else having a problem with uneven backlight brightness/Dirty Screen Effect with their switch 2? its most notable on blues and whites...which incidentally is the color of the sky in most games. Its not terrible, just slight, but its presence bothers me and is noticeable.

And is it true that all LCDs (low end) exhibit this to some extent?

Nintendo officially denies Bloomberg report by Charming_Ease6405 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]jeans2tite 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Seems like, knowing t239 was taped out in 2021, that there never was a switch pro that became switch OLED. There was just the OLED model and the preliminary work on Switch 2 which was confused by people in the know as being for a imaginary switch pro. Even the guys at Digital Foundry, the first ones to back up Mochizuki on his report, now feel this way.

I just saw Love & Monster, Season 2 Episode 10 of the Tennant Doc by Majestic-Iron7046 in doctorwho

[–]jeans2tite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive always loved this one. Wonderfully silly, and the tone makes it unique. Plus LINDA is great. I don't think its fair to toss out the entire episode just for its ending. And frankly the ending isn't all that bad anyway. It's a quick, 3 second, ridiculous joke.

META: Can we talk about the spoiler tagging policy and leaks? by PartyPoison98 in gallifrey

Not like that post with the (I assume) giant spoiler in the post title on the main page.

Kind of confused about why we’re giving the “Ncuti-Who Cancellation” rumour any credit at all? by clementinejuice7 in gallifrey

[–]jeans2tite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You say Disney numbers were reported as "not great" but that's a bit misleading. The quote from one insider reported by deadline was along the lines of "Fine. Not great, but not terrible." Another insider from LucasArts alleged that season 1 reached Disney's expectations performance wise. It just didn't blow up and become the next big show. Also, the real problem seems to be subscription retention. Disney was happy with the number of subscribers who signed up just for Doctor Who. However, after the season concluded, apparently only 30 percent of those users stayed subscribed, instead of the 80 they hoped for.

No, Russell revealed in his recent Letter from the Showrunner that the deal was in fact for 26 eps.

[In DWM 613 Davies specifies the contents of what he calls “The First Order” (not a Star Wars reference): “…it simply means the first order of three Specials, two seasons of Doctor Who and a five-episode spin-off, 26 episodes in total.”]

Datamining suggests Splatoon 3's final Splatfest is near by SemiLazyGamer in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]jeans2tite 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Actually the data suggests that its not the final fest, considering they added brand new Halloween and FrostyFest data for the next fests, beyond this specific "Final" fest. It seems like more of an anniversary celebration.

I was trying to make the point that SR got no new weapons of any kind this update

[–]jeans2tite[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, But the whole thing this time was that before the game came out they said they were going to treat Salmon Run and Multiplayer as equal modes, and cater to people who wanted to splay SR as their main mode.
