Ahhh Ecco the Dolphin. I could go back and forth between that and Chakan the Forever Man for the title of most sadistically cruel game on the Genesis. Actually, Ecco probably gets it, because you're playing as a freaking dolphin. Who's expecting a game where you're a dolphin to be that damn hard?
It was ridiculously difficult. Ecco was a game I really wanted to enjoy, but I just couldn't. Dreamcast one was even more difficult. I never played Chakan.
Played a bit of Ecco the Dolphin back in the day but that was about it. Probably got stuck or something and just gave up. I know of Chakan the Forever Man and can picture the cover in mind but don’t recall having ever played it.
There's some screens of the Ecco remake you can find.
I've been watching re9 comparison vids as I wont be playing it anytime soon.
By the time I get through re7 and Village the price will drop anyway and I have other games to plow through at the moment anyway.
Very suprised that Raytracing is exclusive to the ps5 pro version, I thought ps5 would have it for sure.
Next up is resolution, seems to be 1080p on even ps5? Switch 2 is Dlss upscaled but the base resolution before updcaling is 540p IIRC.
Because of DLSS it has better image stability, particularly in background elements compared to ps5. But otherwise everything else looks better on ps5 as expected
Though DF seems to think its very comparable to the ps5 version outside of some instances.
Framerate on switch 2 is variable feom 45 to 60 unlocked. I don't get why they didn't just do a 40fps mode like Cyberpunk as the game is consistently well above 40 fps at all times.
Also would have liked a 30fps quality mode. I saw an ign review saying there was no gyro aiming wtf? Other sources said it was there unless I'm mistaken.
Aww man that blows. If they get rid of what remains of the old guard I'm out. The newbs they planted there after the buyout can't hold a candle to their writing. I'll just follow them wherever they're headed next.
The Marvel Maximum Collection isn't half bad. The Silver Surfer (NES) is a really strange choice to be included though. I can't recall many people even talking about that game good or bad.

Yeah, looks pretty cool. I think the only game I played was the Konami arcade beat ‘em up. Definitely interested in getting this.
Played for a couple of hours Resident Evil Requiem last night and the game looks amazing. The character models and attention to detail is incredible. Grace’s section was quite tense and scary. Leon’s section was very action packed and badass.

How does the dual character stuff work? Do you play from.start to finish as one character, then start the other characters campaign?
Or does the game just swap between characters in one continuous story?
Felt ridiculous snapping it on the Switch 2 via the magsafe ring. Strangely after 15 mins the weight faded into the background. Its thick but a compact size so strangely Switch 2s U shaped stand works perfectly even with this beast attached to the back.
I like that it also has a digital display rather than LED lights, showing you the exact charge left. The manual says not to charge in high temperatures. This thing better not explode in my pocket in 33 Celcius heat.
That Pokémon trailer looked pretty good? If the graphics manage to match what they showed here, it'd be the first time in over a decade that the graphics aren't crap.
Sure, it might still not set any pants ablaze over at Digital Foundry, but it was a pleasant surprise nontheless.
I never played it myself but have heard all about it. Definitely an interesting twist.

For me it's a one and done game. I enjoyed playing it but have no desire to play it again.
I actually played Ecco about a month ago and yep, stopped at the second level.
The hell is this:
Videogamer.com called out for posting AI Resident Evil Requiem review, barred from Metacritic
IGN is gutting Eurogamer now
Yup. It was fully 3D. Looked amazing at the time. I believe they released it on PS2 as well after the Dreamcast died.

Releases tomorrow, GG. Damn, videogamer.com
