    (FALSE) Nintendo seemingly leaked Switch’s new name: Nintendo Switch Ultra

    This is all over Brazilian twitter, a notification popped up for those of us who follows Nintendo YouTube, as follows: And the video was hidden right after with its name changed. I don’t know if this will be the name, we’ll have to wait. I also don’t know why this is not being talked about...

    Discussion Microsoft buyouts killed Xbox

    It’s so, so amusing that ABK and Bethesda acquisitions ended up killing Xbox 😂 I mean, go on, Microsoft take CoD from Ps5, good luck. Microsoft simply went Icarus and flew too close to the sun, their wings burned and they’re dead. I waited years for this and it’s finally happening. Microsoft...

    Discussion PS Portal seems to be quite a success huh

    Glowing impressions, seems to be sold out, works like a charm and actually makes sense. In hindsight, it seems those that were soon posting about it are looking kinda silly right now. Never doubt Sony.

    Discussion Make your bets: how long until Microsoft destroys ABK?

    As we all know, MS has finally acquired ABK, in a desperate attempt to remain relevant in the console space and “compete” by further pursuing their monopolization wet dreams. As seen multiple times, every single company MS acquires turns bad and, eventually, dies. Rare has gone to trash...

    Discussion Turns out Final Fantasy XVI is filled with people of color. Why is the media not talking about this?

    The game has lots of non white characters, I’ll list a few ones to illustrate: Hugo Kupka L’ubor Vívian This is the most diverse cast the series has even had. And a month later, nobody is talking about it. Remember when we had over a year of articles calling the game racist? Remember...

    Discussion The same people crying about FFXVI praised The Witcher 3 and that’s pure hypocrisy.

    Combat on TW3 is pure trash The sidequests on TW3 are really very MMO-like, pure fetch quests The game’s writing is nothing really to write home about It has a good open world but it’s largely empty and the cities are the best part of it Story is whatever and adapts stuff that happens on the...

    Discussion Will Resetera ban talks about Zenimax/Bethesda because of transphobia in the company?

    (Not a culture wars thread, this is not focused on talking about trans issues, not aimed at talking about politics, etc, so if you intend of doing it, get out, this is a hypocrisy pointing thread) It is known that Resetera banned both Cyberpunk and Hogwarts Legacy talks there because of...

    Discussion Why is 30fps suddenly feeling ok to me?

    (Not a Starfield thread, people) So, at the start of the gen, 30fps modes in games were feeling outright broken, weird, sluggish. When I replayed god of war 2018 on ps5, the 30fps mode felt like slow motion. Cut to 2023: Tears of the Kingdom and Final Fantasy XVI actually feel fine? What...

    Discussion With the recent R&C PC Port announcement, I guess it's safe to say there's a lot Sony held back on the latest PS showcase

    News surfaced by both The Snitch and Tom Henderson that a bunch of games that are ready to be shown were held back on the PS Showcase, including the recently announced R&C Rift Apart PC port, as per the sources below: https://insider-gaming.com/playstation-showcase-2023/ and So, people...

    News 14.1M of all PlayStation Plus subscribers are on Extra and Premium tiers as of March 2023. 6.1M on Extra, 8M on Premium.

    This thing is a monster and it’s barely a year old? This will overtake gamepass in no time. And the premium being higher than extra just cements one thing: Forums and twitter have no clue how the market works. Source...

    Discussion Will forumites stop lying to themselves about $70 day one?

    I constantly see people in forums saying they don’t buy $70 games day one and wait for deep sale. Let’s be honest here, these people are LYING. Just look at the sales of $70 games, TOTK, GOW Ragnarok and others to see they’re lying. I don’t know why these people keep lying on forums, because we...

    Discussion Gamepass made it easier for both Sony and Nintendo to strike third party exclusivity and marketing deals

    I've been thinking about this for a while now and it just comes to cement how gamepass might be "good" for gamers but terrible to publishers and developers alike. Since the only way your game will be successful on Xbox if by releasing day one on gamepass, publishers are, honestly, avoiding the...

    Discussion Threads about Gamepass in forums are seemingly nonexistent nowadays

    Has anyone else noticed the gamepass threads have vanished from the other mainstream forums? A few years ago, there was at least one thread a week trying to positively review the Xbox Series consoles and they ALWAYS revolved the threads around gamepass. "Gamepass, gamepass, gamepass, I have...

    Discussion I legitimately feel bad for Xbox only owners

    PS owners get to play FFXVI Switch owners get to play Zelda TotK Xbox owners are stuck with a gimped version of a bad game: redfall. What a bad time to invest in a Xbox. Will MS ever recover? Will MS ever make justice for all that PR fluff they put out? I’m doubtful. Also, I don’t believe...

    Discussion My Joy Con has stopped drifting by itself

    I have the OG joy cons that came with the Switch and after 2 years or so of use, it started drifting. By that time, I had bought one conversor of sorts to use my Dualshock 4 controller as a Pro controller because it's cheaper than buying the nintendo one and the D-Pad is better so I ditched the...

    Discussion Does anyone really notice resolution dropping with Dynamic Res?

    I ask because I have a 4K TV and I never even noticed it happen while playing. I think low res is only noticiable on cutscenes. I’m playing Yakuza like a dragon and the lower res is perceptible on the cutscenes because of the aliasing to the point that game would’ve benefitted from dynamic res...

    Discussion [The Verge] Final Fantasy XVI has a medieval approach to diversity

    So, it seems it's pretty much confirmed there's no diversity on FFXVI. Well, you see, I really don't find that a real problem tbh. It's a medieval fantasy setting and they are free to include whatever they want to, black, gay and whatnot people, it's their choice. I mean, you had black Viera...

    Discussion So, it seems hi-fi rush has been forgotten

    I mean, nobody talks about it anymore, it lasted, like, two weeks? It was obliterated by Hogwarts legacy… sad.

    Discussion AA Games are awesome when well made

    They can take some risks because it’s not that high of an investment. I’m playing Ys 8 and yeah it’s not a very beautiful game (it’s a Vita game in the end) but is so much fun. I’m so happy companies are making AA games nowadays again.
