Asphalt legends unite is now a more stable / consistant 60fps on SW2 where it would drop frames constantly on SW1.

Feels weird that a new console has launched and there's hardly any news about it on here. Not blaming this place, I haven't seen much news about it anywhere.

Neonridr12d ago

people are busy playing it. I was playing MK World all evening last night.

CDbiggen12d ago

That doesn't typically stop news.

Neonridr12d ago

@CDbiggen - I don't know what news you were hoping for. The system is a better Switch in every regard. Switch 1 games are running better on Switch 2 even without patches as reported by lots of outlets including DF.

It's not going to stop the world in its tracks though, for the first time it's just a better version of a previous console, much like PlayStation for example.

Hmmm. Alex Garland’s other work is amazing so I’m definitely interested.

senorfartcushion25d ago

I've always found him pretty meh.
He's a very indecisive filmmaker.

Goodguy0126d ago (Edited 26d ago )

Why? These live action adaptations have been oh so terrible lol. I know sonic is successful but I just couldn't enjoy the first movie. You cannot adapt a full game especially a 70+hr rpg into a small 1-2hr movie without many cuts.

But I suppose their goal is to reach more people with these films I guess.

anast26d ago

It all depends on the creative talent in these projects. Last of Us and Fallout are good, but Halo is sad.

InUrFoxHole25d ago

I thought halo was pretty good

Tacoboto25d ago

I understand opinions and all but...

What in the world was pretty good about the Halo series??

FinalFantasyFanatic25d ago

The only video game adaptation that I felt went above and beyond was the Sonic movies, and they almost fumbled the first one, Mario was alright too.

-Foxtrot26d ago

I'll get downvoted to hell for this but despite Jim Carrey as Robotnik I think the films could have been better, they shouldn't have included the real world, they should have stayed on Mobius. Hell I would have rather seen animation since the Sonic Mania / Origin cutscenes were great.

I still think the Sonic the Hedgehog OVA movie is better.

PapaBop26d ago

Usually agree but give Alex Garland a chance, his other movies are amazing, this is clearly a project aiming for a high standard as opposed to just some shameless cash grab.

Tapani25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

Agreed, given his track record and in-depth research he puts into each project, not to mention writers and subject matter choices he makes, I would absolutely give Alex Garland a chance. I'm intrigued, and think he has a good chance of making this work.

Pyrofire9525d ago

They'll probably not include the side quests

Same! You can make an argument for each Miyazaki game but this one and Elden Ring always seemed like a god choice for live action (or animated series)

anast25d ago

That's what I'm thinking.

gold_drake26d ago

i meam, theres alot of material there sure but ... most of these enemies are .. non human.

is the movie gonna be mostly cgi? ha.
