People would just bitch that it's too much like JSRF and not enough like JSR.

3D Realms and 1C Entertainment announced that they will release the old-school first-person shooter Ion Fury on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on May 14, with a physical release planned for June 26 on all consoles.

[Great Rumbler]

Probably gonna get the Switch version.

[Spieler1]

Cool, with physical I'll try this sooner than later.

[Svejk]

Sega would probably just hand JSR3 to the studio who did Panzer Dragoon Remaster.     OG Smilebit crew, or no deal. 

[VomKriege]

[Positive Touch]

let's be honest, it's pretty much guaranteed that we'll be dealing with some sort of gamer outrage no matter who handles a potential new JSR

[Akala]

we need to talk about these new jet set character designs   

I have no kneepads and I must scream

[EchoRin]

Akala you little twerp. Your post made me think that there was some character reveal or something.

On a side note. Jet Set Radio, that's cool if it makes a resurgence. Where is my Skies of Arcadia remaster? Preferably based on the Gamecube version just for the sake of random encounter numbers. I'm sure they can hype it up as some lost Dreamcast treasure or whatever as far as nostalgia goes.

[Akala]

I think I would take a skies remake over a sequel/new game. 

[MMaRsu]

Most companies cant do these games justice anyway

[Spieler1]

After the turns that Shining has taken, yes Just put out an HD version like Grandia.

My worry (not even worry, more like question) is why they'd want to do another? If it's just because they're scraping the bottom of the barrel for IPs to use, then i can see it turn out like a completely soulless "parody" of the previous games.
But if someone in the development team really does have an idea, or a twist on the formula, of course i'd like them to go ahead with it.

The jump from JSR to JSRF was pretty massive, in terms of style and core design changes, which, like it or not, to me means that they had an idea to bring forward, instead of just trying to "do another".

And of course, Smilebit is no more, right? So i'm not sure who'd be behind it.

zzzz

[nachobro]

i havent played an assassin game in a while, since the england one. might be time to get back in

[Nintex]

[Nintex]

Odyssey is fantastic. Kassandra is so awesome 

[nachobro]

the first one is pretty wack but the trilogy of 2/brotherhood/revelations is

black flag is awesome too...the rest are kinda varying. haven't played the newest couple titles though.

[nachobro]

for 2 til syndicate its mostly buying loot upgrades from shops so there's a progression there but not loot drops. you also upgrade your home base/city/ship/whatever and there's more weapons to use. in brotherhood you get a posse you can summon to take dudes out too, which is pretty cool.

3 and 4 have crafting added and 4 adds ship battles which i liked but some didn't dig very much. unity adds french people so that's a huge minus but ac: rogue was the better of the two games released that year anyway. i didn't finish and barely remember syndicate but iirc the big addition in that was two playable characters.

origins and odyssey are much different than the rest and i believe more in the new ubisoft everygame style

[Great Rumbler]

I was so turned off by the 1st I have ignored the series ever since.

But have considered trying the more recent ones;  the 1st one was like a super polished engine demo that forgot to be a game.

I haven't played the series other than a few hours of 1 and maybe about 30 minutes of 4, but I really enjoyed Odyssey. Lots of good content-tourism, some decent characters, fun combat and stealth mechanics.

[Nintex]

If you liked the gameplay of MGS5 and The Witcher 3 than you will also like Odyssey.
If that is something you hated you won't like this either.

[Don Rumata]

Despite dropping Odyssey, Origins was one of my favorite games of this gen, so i'm hyped (also despite the setting  ).

[MMaRsu]

what does the majestic mgs5 have to do with that mediocre game odyssey where all you have to do is dodge and hack and slash

Quite similar in game play structure and also a 'systems' game.
Instead of bases in MGS you have forts and camps n AC. A lot of similarities in the game design.

Modern AC is a blend of MGS5, The Witcher 3 and in Odyssey they added some Wind Waker into the mix.

[Mr Gilhaney]

I enjoyed the gameplay of MGSV enough to put 35 hours into it. But eventually it bored me too much. Assasisns Creed never holds my attention for even close to that long, everything just feels sloppy to me when playing those games, nothing that feels truly satisfying in any sense. Even The Witcher 3's gameplay feels better for me, and that certainly isnt the games strong suit.

[Positive Touch]

here's the stupidest thing I've read all week

[MMaRsu]

You mean it's a mix of Far Cry 3 (Taking over enemy forts/bases), Assassins Creed Black Flag(The assassin part and sailing), and Mass Effect Andromeda(Where all the NPC's are meaningless set dressing to fill the game and the lightest of rpg elements).

[BisMarckie]

Equating janky ass Witcher 3 to MGS V should be a felony.

[Positive Touch]

like how contra and bubble bobble are similar because they're 2d games where you shoot things

[Stro]

Toss a coin to your Big Boss, such a lust for revengeance, whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

A newsletter, yes. No other info than that though. Not sure what to make of it. You guys expecting something officially Mother for the Switch? Any semi-decent rumors? Or is this the first time anything Mother related has appeared in a long time? Fan games excluded of course. Only official stuff I mean.

Finally Toku shares some non hype of a game with me 

[Raist]

Yep, that's an AC CG trailer all right.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

[close]

[nachobro]

cg trailer is always some shit to me

[MMaRsu]

I have no clue why companies even make them anymore. Save Blizzard maybe. But even for them, do they really need it? The cost must outweigh the gains.

Although I suppose you can't really show an alpha state as a trailer. But then supposedly we are gonna have gameplay next week of this game so yeah. Ubisoft trying to create a big hype. I wouldn't be surprised if this doesn't do half as good as Odyssey. But then again, it will be cross gen so it will benefit from those extra sales boost.

[MMaRsu]

Ancient Viking Rap Battles?

I think Toku might be back in

[Svejk]

I just want to know if there'll be a female option as a playable protag..  I want my Lagertha game!! 

[MMaRsu]

I just want to know if there'll be a female option as a playable protag..  I want my Lagertha game!! 

There is. The Eivor name is also female only in Sweden. There are no males named Eivor.



I think they were just scared and for marketing purposes are putting the male guy front and center. How predictable for a company who makes games by comite.

[EchoRin]

I know several of you are fans here

Honestly, I'd be ok with this just being a reskin, so to speak, of Odyssey; having some dashes of mythical creatures n' shit thrown in.   

[Bebpo]

I went to try the Trials of Mana demo I downloaded on steam to compare the PC version to the Switch version.

It kept giving me an error and wouldn't boot. So I went to the store page and the demo is GONE. SE deleted the demo for PC. WTF SQUARE.

[demi]

Because there was an exploit / trick to unlock the full game from it

Maybe do ur research before pulling a Karen

[Bebpo]

Oh, I see. Makes sense then.

[Don Rumata]

I'm glad shields seem to be back, no shields in Odyssey, was fucking bullshit.

I saw a few other tweets and best I could piece together is... they're gonna make some Mother merchandise.
