Rachel Weber: "While there are a lot of things I can’t tell about The Last of Us Part 2, I can tell you that it’s a game that will change the way you feel about the virtual violence you participate in. Not just in this game, but in all games. One of the ways the game achieves that is its realistic portrayal of the effects of trauma, something that the team at Naughty Dog was worked hard to make as realistic as possible. I spoke to Halley Gross, co-writer on the project, and she revealed a bit about how the team made sure that the emotions they were showing felt as authentic as possible."
A handful of small redesigns and a pair of back buttons make Nintendo’s Pro Controller for Switch 2 a worthy upgrade.
I love this controller. Feels so nice in the hand. Plus the battery lasts for days, it's crazy.
$100 ?????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????? ???????????????
Yea the pricing for Nintendo peripherals is a bigger joke than the game prices. What the hell were they thinking!
i mean for a piece of slightly redesigned plastic with the same take of the last few years this has written GREED all over it ! Shame on Nintendo.
The thing is, over the past decade, third-party controllers have really stepped up. You can often get better quality, more durability, and stronger performance for half the price of first-party options. Meanwhile, controllers from Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft have become increasingly mediocre, expensive, fragile, and not particularly impressive across the board. What makes this especially noticeable with Nintendo is that they’re surprisingly open to third-party hardware. That openness ends up highlighting just how much better the alternatives are.
Pretty much most things by half a dozen of chinese manufactures. Like, 8bitdo, Gamesir, Machenike, Gulikit, Flydigi, Manba, EasySMX, etc.
The exception would be really low tier stuff by those companies... those wouldn't be better, they would be about the same quality. But more durable.
Having used Dual Sense, Pro Controller 1, and 8BitDo Ultimate extensively, I am pretty much in love with Pro Controller 2. The easy reassignment on the grip buttons is such a big plus, but the soft edge joysticks are the best feeling sticks of any controller I’ve ever used. It’s really an awesome controller. The HD Rumble 2 also finally has some thud and the headphone jack is great with a pair of good phones. It’s worth the slight price increase IMO.
I have the original pro controller and TBH, I don't use it as much. I'm mostly using the Switch in handheld mode with the Hori Split Pad Compact Controller. I also never use the back buttons to program anything so I will not be buying this one here, so that will be $85.00 in my pocket 😂
Techland wants to switch to a shorter development cycle of three to four year at the most for its games, starting with Dying Light: The Beast.
Very good dev length for a AAA/AA game I'd say. Companies need to set an aim for this range. 1-2 is too little, I believe 3-4 is perfect. Any more is too much. Games don't need to be these gigantic games full of a crazy amount of content. Just make a good game.
Legendary gaming auteur Hideo Kojima heaped praise on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, calling it “ideal” for one significant reason.
Greatness knows greatness. Simple as that. Expedition 33 is a masterpiece, built with a smaller team and with a smaller budget, blowing ubisoft out of the water. It doesn't matter how many devs you have and how much money you throw at it, great studios like Sandfall Interactive will always overcome you.
Ideal are you opinions being vacant from any discussion that is not about your own cringy universe Hideo.
The master of Vanity Tech Demos is here to tell us what a good game is. ooooh kay. It's pretty dang obvious without your 2 cents desperately needing relevance. This is just like his GTA grovel a while back. Yuck.
AVOID YOUTUBE EVERYONE.
People are uploading spoiler clips and even all the cutscenes from the game!
“Authentic trauma” what the hell does that even mean?
