"The idea of Nintendo Switch game cloud streaming makes total sense. The Switch is a vastly underpowered device compared to the other guys on the market. So there’s almost no chance of seeing upcoming graphically demanding games like Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy or Battlefield 2042 run natively on Switch hardware. And for people who only have a Switch, this is a great way for them to play new games without buying a new device. Unfortunately, despite game publishers selling cloud-only games at full price on the Nintendo Switch eShop, the functionality just does not work at an acceptable level of performance yet." - Nintendo Enthusiast
Control 2 will shift to an action RPG, Remedy confirms. The first game is set to receive a free update in early 2025, unlocking previously released content.
What does "unlocking some previously released content" actually mean though? I would imagine it should be "previously unreleased content". Bit odd.
I only played about an hour of Control when I added it to my library back when it was one of the PS+ ‘free’ games. I’ll start it over again after the early 2025 update is dropped. I keep hearing that it’s a good game.
You can make that statement for any game. It’s called gameplay loop. Not everyone is going to enjoy the same loops but all games are repetitive by nature
Agree it was very boring game. Could not get into it. Remember me the game I played on PS3 is still better than this.
These days "RPG" translates to constantly grinding for experience points, wasting time upgrading gear, and repeatedly collecting resources off the ground.
Please don't be an Ubishit style filler game.
So in other words it's an action game needlessly fluffed out with RPG mechanics and a pointless leveling system. I really enjoy RPGs when they're actually RPGs but modern action games really tire me out when they shoehorn in mechanics they don't need. All this does is make a 20 hour game into a 40 hour game because missions become locked behind level requirements, and enemies become damage sponges. It's not fun, it's tedious.
Amazon has announced the lineup of games to be added to Prime Gaming for October, 2024 and it features A Plague Tale: Innocence.
Amazon prime gaming is soo weird. I always try to remember to check it but it seems to update so randomly. Then of course only some games will appear if you’re in their own app yet on the website all the games will appear. Sometimes I’ve found they lists games that simply don’t appear on either.
Obviously appreciate what they’re doing but my god what a complete sht show of a service they operate.
Was really excited when I opened it up the other day to find doom eternal. Was never going to buy it at this point anymore. Then realised it was from Microsoft store 😡 after buying age of empires from their store a long time ago and finding out they install their rootkits that can’t be removed. I have Microsoft game folders on my own hdd that not only can I not access but I can’t even delete them! Vowed to never touch the store again.
Remedy will self-publish Control 2 as part of a new "strategic cooperation agreement" with Annapurna. A press release accompanying the announcement says Annapurna will provide half of Control 2's development budget, and in return gains the rights to adapt Control and Alan Wake for film and television.
This isn't about the store. Epic published the game on all platforms. They want to self publish because they couldn't recoup Alan Wake 2's budget.
...because Epic chose to restrict its PC release to the Epic store and completely restrict it's physical release until later this year.
It’s connected, though. They couldn’t recoup the costs because Epic restricted the places and formats where the game could be released, literally removing the biggest PC distribution channels from the equation. And they also sold the game cheaper than a traditional full release, solely to support their statements at the launch of the Epic Games Store that PC games would be cheaper if it weren’t for Steam.
Dang, nice ... Alan Wake II is an amazing game
Can't wait for Control 2 and Max Payne Remakes
Not sure why your getting down voted because you found Alan Wake 2 amazing. I'm in the same boat as you. Can't wait for Control 2 & the Max Payne remakes. Max Payne 1 & 2 were some of my favorite pc games from my early teens lol.
Coz N4G logic.
You cant praise a game if its got no physical release, not releasing on PS etc
It just goes to show you Nintendo is not moving with the times they like a old person stuck in their ways
