Absolutely fantastic! I’ve been playing the series for 20 years now and I never imagined some Pokémon could do some stuff they do in the game.

Plus, it has the artstyle I really wanted the main series to have when it transitioned to 3D.

I wish I wasn’t so stubborn, I still buy physical games only on Switch, on Xbox I am digital only. I could be playing this now if I transitioned to digital for Switch too. It does look fantastic, and I agree, this is what I wished Sword and Shield to look like. Oh well, there is a new Pokémon game almost yearly, so we will get there eventually.

Nice, it looks great. Hopefully Game Freak could apply the same artstyle to their games, because their style is a little outdated when directly compared.

I haven’t played anything on my Switch since Hades. And before that, hadn’t played anything since Animal Crossing. Since I basically almost never leave the house, I don’t have a lot of motivation to turn on the Switch because playing on Series X on the TV is just a much more fluid experience and the Switch feels lackluster in comparison. I played a lot of Switch in the train when travelling, though, but since that has never happened since March 2020, I have little reasons to turn it on right now. Slightly considering it for Mario Golf, but we’ll see.

It’s been so hard to get excited with Game Freak lately :frowning:

(this is an actual pre-release screenshot of a 2022 game)

I kinda wish they went back to 2D one day. They were on their prime during Heart Gold/Soul Silver and Black/White.

And this might be day one Game Pass!!!

Maybe Bandai Namco could take a shot at making a mainline Pokémon game. Honestly looks so much better, and it’s getting good reviews.

I don’t think anybody else but Gamefreak can get a chance to make a mainline Pokémon game for a good while, it’s unfortunate but it is what it is.

from apple vs epic court docs. 3 month exclusivity for stalker 2 and MS might drop royalties on xbox consoles from 30% to 12 % as well.

not so confidential it seems?

the 88/12 split on both on pc& consoles is a big move :giphy:

A hilarious and well made gamepass ad. But not enough people are talking about rather explicit teases in this video.

At 0:15 they literally show the skyline of Mexico City of all locations.

I saw this mentioned on twitter but didn’t believe it myself so I googled Mexico City skyline and voila, found this image.

They aren’t slick, this pretty much confirms FH5 in Mexico at this point imo.

Also there were rather very blatant space shots of Earth and Astronauts which let’s admit is pretty much all referring to Starfield.

wow what is up Stalker 2 3 months timed exclusivity rumour ? :phil_lmao: :phil_lmao: if this is true than why even bother with timed exclusivity in first place.

good thing about 12% share for xbox sold games.

what is interesting they got the full exclusivity for the gunk game, maybe the studio behind it is on Acquisition target list ?

Not confirmed, tom warren said lower cut was discussed in return for streaming rights. I guess we will have to wait and see.

I remember when 1 month was the norm

RE8 demo on Xbox now and also a beta for the online game it seems. Let’s try em out!

I literally just replayed Skyrim from start to finish after the 60 fps boost. Loved every minute of it. Even though this is probably my 4th complete playthrough I found a few new quests.

Few other games give me the feeling of exploration and discovery like BGS games.

Anyone played RE8 demo? Does the aiming, looking around feel a bit sluggish or delayed to you too? The aiming with gun and hitting enemies because of this is a challenge for me, lol.

Nope thats just standard Resident Evil lol
