Good!

#BROKEN Hasney 05-30-2017 06:22 AM

Yup. CC2 have done the .hack games and some anime fighters in Naruto and JoJo so I would prefer some team with more experience for such a big project.

Lightning Returns was surprisingly good considering how god awful the rest of the trilogy was and I've not played Mobius, but it looks nice for a mobile game

Platinum Games Head Producer Atsushi Inaba recently spoke with Famitsu at A 5th of Bit Summit who talks about how much he is enjoying playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on his Switch and how it is also a good fit for indie games and for future games. Onto how the Switch fits in with Platinum Games plans…

How’s the compatibility with Platinum Games?

“I think it’s good. We’ve also already declared we’re going to participate. During the announcement event of Nintendo Switch, there’s the Platinum Games logo showing up secretly.’

Is something happening?

"We’re creating it, you know. I think it’s going to be interesting.”

Bayonetta 3 at E3 let's go

Though very choppy (another case of 'hot screenshot, poor movement' design) and animations don't blend well with anything you wanna do, this game has a lot of good ideas suffering thru a technical mess. I don't that this is something that can be patched out over time, but a higher budget sequel will be amazing. They should have scaled back on some ideas (a perk system wasn't necessary) but the general gameplay has a few good moments.

When they launched some "gameplay" video a while back, it reminded me too much of the Evolve formula, which just doesn't do it for me.

Sonic Mania will be $19.99 as well, which is a pretty great price. The link is for the Switch but I'm assuming that will be common amongst all platforms.

The trailer looks pretty great for it, too.

Megaman Legacy Collection 2 announced, featuring Megaman 7-10. Dunno why this needed to be split up into two releases. Nevermind that most people that would be interested in this already have mega man 9 and 10.

Give me a Mega Man X collection. One full release.

#BROKEN Hasney 06-05-2017 04:36 PM

Different emulators so they'd have to charge more for more work anyway. 9 and 10 will likely be straight ports.

People don't have 9 and 10 on their console that's actually hooked up though.

Sepholio 06-05-2017 04:38 PM

Yeah I just want the X collection already. I got my fill of standard blue bomber action with the anniversary collection on ps2. I wanna say it was also 1-7 plus rockman and forte and maybe even megaman soccer.

omg megaman soccer :(

Sepholio 06-05-2017 04:39 PM

The X collection should also include the Zero games. Those were also awesome.

EA Origins and EA Access are currently free for E3 week.

PC and Xbox One gets more freebie games to play in the Vault while PS4 gets a free trial of the service.

Only catch is Xbox One requires a Gold account in order to get the free week.

Quote:

Today during EA's E3 briefing, CEO Andrew Wilson appeared on stage to announce that the company is providing free access to the EA Access and Origin Access Vaults for a week. That means you can play select games in their entirety without paying a penny.

EA Access is available on Xbox One and Origin Access is for PC, but PS4 players aren't being left out. EA said there will be free trials for some of its games available on PS4 all week. These include Madden NFL 17, FIFA 17, Titanfall 2, EA Sports UFC 2, and Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare. PS4 owners with a copy of Star Wars Battlefront will have free access to all DLC maps and heroes for the duration of this event.
