Summer Game Fest 2022.


Well, that certainly was something, I guess? 


This was bad. Really bad. Nothing outside of TMNT, SF6, Callisto Protocol, games I was already excited for, interested me. I don't care about Call Of Duty, I don't care about Warhammer, I don't care about Humankind, and nothing about seeing them here changed my mind. That was another problem, the lack of variety. It was literally shooter after shooter, sci fi horror game after sci fi horror game. It got tiring, really fast. Everything blended into one another after awhile, I just about checked out an hour in.


Ending on the remake of Last Of Us. Okay...? Who asked for a remake of this game? It's not even ten years old yet. Naughty Dog used to be one of the coolest, most creative and inventive studios in the industry, and now they're just a factory that does nothing but "movie games". I'm sorry, but the jokes just write themselves. Maybe Druckmann should be writing movies instead of games, because he isn't very good at the latter.


I genuinely nearly fell asleep multiple times during this...thing. If I wasn't in a discord call hanging out and chatting with my friends, I probably would have just turned this off, to be perfectly honest. 


Terrible show. Will not watch this again. These summer events, outside of the State of Play, in all honesty, have been a bummer to watch and write about. These shows just aren't giving me much to be positive about.


Geoff does what he always does. Overpromises and underdelivers. 


Microsoft, please deliver.


 Please.

    Tbf, Geoff literally said ahead of time “There’s only a couple of new reveals, it’ll mostly be games you already know about”. My expectations were met here but yeah there were too many sci-fi horror games and LoU getting a remake seems more like a marketing stunt for the show.

    Zenless Zone Zero showed a bit more and Cuphead DLC info and followup today was nice.

    Regardless, Summer Game Fest has been better than E3 for years now so won’t complain lol. Just hope TGS and TGAs are better this year

The Next 3D Mario Is Ready To Go.

Image
  2024 is here, and after an insanely long six years of waiting, I'm now hearing that the next 3D Mario, set to launch with Nintendo's brand spankin' new console, was finished over the holiday season. This is standard Nintendo practice, many of their big games are done well before release. As was said before, this is EPD Tokyo's first full attempt at an open world game, and the game is said to look " Absolutely jaw-dropping". I can confirm a few other new things as well: Donkey Kong will appear in the game in some form. I'm unsure if he's playable, a boss, or an extended cameo of some sort. Given how Mario and DK have appeared as a pair in pretty much everything as of late, which includes the movie, LEGO sets, a remake of Mario Vs. DK, and now in theme park promotions, it only makes sense to continue that trend.  Luigi, Peach, Captain Toad and Pauline will all appear as well, though I'm unsure what roles they'll play in the game.  The other, mu

Nintendo Direct Watch Season Begins NOW.

Image
We're starting 2024 with a bang. Didn't expect that, did ya?  Yup, I'm hearing from the usual sources that Nintendo is planning a Direct to air this very month. It could air from this coming week, to the end of the month.  Expect this to be "cleanup" for the Switch. Nintendo has been pretty silent since September, so expect more details on Paper Mario, Peach Showtime and a few other things. There's still a few surprises left in this old thing.  They have an obviously insane   of them, so it's smart to get Switch stuff out of the way earlier than usual this year.  Stay tuned here for more.

Mario Kart X Will Release In 2025.

Image
Now that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Booster Course Pass has finally come to an end, in spectacular fashion I might add, now the question being asked is "Well, what's next?"  Well, I finally have some more insight on that. The tenth (no, not ninth) installment of the Mario Kart series will release in 2025, which will be Switch 2's second year on the market. The intention is to release the title sometime before the system's second holiday on the market.  The title is being developed primarily by Nintendo EPD Production Group 9, with Bandai Namco Studios once again co-developing.  Additionally, Nintendo are sparring absolutely no expense with this game. This is apparently one of the most expensive games Nintendo has ever put into production. The next 3D Mario title is said to be "absolutely dropping" and this apparently looks even better. The game's visual fidelity is said to be a very high priority for them, meaning the game is gonna look good, damn goo
