SMASH IS LIFE!!! Octopath traveler is the reason im gna buy a switch, oh wait that was the reason before smash ultimate got announced ;) Well I guess Octopath is a nice bonus for my smash machine haha.
Spiderman looks amazing as well, ill surely be picking that one up.
@sm3000 I always liked smash cause it was fun killing people. I started to love smash when I got a bit more in depth with the mechanics and started to try and pull of some awesome combos. The beauty about smash is that you can play it without thinking about any mechanics and you still have a blast, but you can also go as in depth as you want and have an awesome competetive game that has no game like it.
Funny thing is that Nintendo is adapting the Blizzard moto lately. Easy to learn, hard to master. At least from the games that I played (MK8, Smash, Mario Tennis)
PS all start was actually a very fun game. The mistake they made in my eyes was that you could only kill with ultimates. Some chars had such bad ultimates which were easy to dodge, and that threw the whole game off imo.
Why is there no mention of octopath traveler ? Seriously this game looks titts. I never preorder games, but i have a spiderman fetish, soooo i caved in. Can't wait to play the hell outta it
i played the first one and was immediately sold !, only played the dancer's path, but i opted out of the second demo. what i played was too good that i need to experience if fully at release, i get that progress from the newest one carries to the full game, but dang it's too much of a tease for me to play only 3 hours.
unpopular opinion here, but i just can't stand the glowy filter and almost binocular viiew of the game. It turns me off, which is a shame because i liked everything else.
I played the first demo, but I’m waiting until a about a week before OT’s release to start the second (prologue) so it flows on nicely into the main game.
@ZaWarudo - it's definitely something that takes getting used to. But the fusion of sprites and backgrounds with depth was just too much to pass up. Don't get me wrong, games like Horizon and God of War look jaw dropping on my Pro. But it's refreshing and nice when you get these games that just change it up a little.
Your opinion is your own, so don't feel bad about sharing it.
Octopath looks fantastic. I buy mostly just ps4 games but this game is a must have and the reason I bought a switch( well some but I've loved mario he was my first intro to gaming on nes)
Spiderman looks great, and I'm hoping the little we've seen of it isn't all of the best of it. There have been plenty of cases, before now, where a game preview has shown the best of it and left the rest feeling underwhelming after it released. This is especially true with movie-based games, but it looks like this one might avoid that particular curse since, despite being a franchise with plenty of movies, this one isn't based on a current movie. [To my knowledge, at least]
Here's hoping. It'd be great to have a good web-swinger game again.
@Neonridr It’s a sepearate universe than the MCU which is what Homecoming is part of. We will find out what specific Marvel Universe the game is part of in late Sep with Spidergeddon #0.
"Passive-agressive trolling" Dude, take your own advice instead of stealing my line; I've played other Spiderman games and not all of them are fantastic. I legitimately hope that this one will be as amazing as the previews were, so shut the hell up.
lol don't mind people here on N4G you are getting blasted for "hoping" a game will be great while too many people believe it implies it may not be... That said the game looks sick and definitely my most anticipated of those three although this fall I think I'll be all over RDR 2 :D
It's not currently got any movie tie in but now that you mention it there's probably nothing stopping them making an animated feature of it in the future. Like Heavenly Sword or Ratchet & Clank. They do have the licence to do so after all, just look at the new Spiderman animation they're releasing soon
Two companies are releasing the same stuff we’ve seen for many generations. While one is actually changing things up with a franchise that deserved it. Neither of those games compare to what Spider-man is doing.
That's what I can't understand! When it comes to games Sony not only has treasured classic series like Jack and Daxter, Sly Cooper, Ratchet and Clank, Syphon Filter, Twisted Metal, Socom but they have more contemporary series like Infamous, Resistance, Killzone, GT, Uncharted, TLOU, GOW, Shadow of the Colossus, The Last Guardian, Bloodborne, HZD, Until Dawn, Detroit Become Human, Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls and titles like Nioh, Persona 5, Yakuza series, Ni No Kuni series, Gravity Rush series!
Nintendo got me into gaming in the early 80's and I grew up on their games! Just today I was showing my sons how to get the flutes in Mario 3 on the mini NES but they don't really bring anything new to the table! Sure I loved Breadth of the Wild but I'd love it if Nintendo did a Sony and started developing some new heavy hitters! They don't have to narrative driven games but it'd be cool if they did a few! Eternal Darkness and RE Remake were two of my favorite GameCube games and they weren't for kids!
Same with M$! They need to stretch their collective creative legs and create their own Uncharteds, Marios, GOW's and the like.
M$ and Nintendo just rely on the same franchises which is fine if they're amazing games but they need more variety!
Look at Sony, the could've told Barlog to do the same GOW just prettier but that's not what happened and it was fucking awesome! Look at Guerrilla Games, they could've said do more Killzones but that's not what happened is it?!? No they went from FPS to an open world action/rpg that is spectacular! The Last Guardian set in development hell for a decade but did Sony say cut it and do something else?!? No they allowed the process to go where it must and we got a classic out of it!
All three offer games but one is constantly pushing what games can be and delivering quite a few along the way!
The consoles sales show it. I think and I'm one of them because I love mario games but I think alot of switch buyers bought for the portability, some bought because they are Nintendo fans(that's where I am) . The portability dOsment interest me but I'm a sucker for their franchises.
Shinoff oh I have a Switch and I could care less about portability but I do care about Zelda, Mario and Samas! I just wish they'd develop some new game series.
So Shadow of the Colossus, which had one entry on PS2, counts as a franchise?
If that's the case would the list of Nintendo franchises include Eternal Darkness, Giest, Pandora's Tower, The Last Story, etc . . .?
Plus Resistance hasn't had an entry in how long? Killzone and Infamous have been dormant for 5 years now. 4 of the titles you mentioned aren't even published by Sony and Sony has nothing to do with creating them.
10 th sorry but Capt Toad doesn't cut the mustard and SOTC isn't a franchise but it is a masterpiece! I will be getting Octopath and I did list Eternal Darkness!
I listed Killzone, Infamous , Resistance etc to show the pattern that through the years Sony has always developed new brands beside three main ones!
“Two companies are releasing the same stuff we’ve seen for many generations. While one is actually changing things up with a franchise that deserved it.”
You kindda contradict yourself there. There have been many Spiderman games before you know.
Spider-man games are old as fuck, I remember playing those games on ps1.I enjoyed the hell out of them....now back to my point here...you have no fucking idea of what you are saying. changing things up? Yeah cause stealth aproach, web swinging iand climbing walls is innovation at it-s own, right? Neither of those games bring something revolutionary...NONE!
Have to admit, im really wanting the crew 2, looks like its actually adding something new to the open world racer, but fh4 does look insane, plus being set in uk kinda sold me lol, spiderman is day 1 though.
All 3 look great!

Variety is the spice of life!
