I got Lego city Switch 😁 forgot why I love it. It's Lego gta FFS. Funny as hell too. Definitely 1080p, crisp and clean mostly solid 30fps. The update is downloading now.

Haven't updated the game yet, but so far the open world frame rate chugs a little in the same way the Wii U version did. But at 1080p it looks cleaner and better. There is some pop up, I can't remember if it happened in the U version or not. Undocked however the frame rate tanks.

Has anything been added to the game? Loading times aside, I loved everything about the game, but not sure I'd want to go through it again without some extra incentive.

Co-op as far as I know. Otherwise just the technical improvements, but it is a big resolution jump. Looks so clean now. Jaggies have been almost eliminated. Otherwise some Wii U features have been tweaked so it runs single screen.

It is a rather unusual way to reveal a console and I'm not sure it's a smart move. Even as someone who does usually read or at least scan through Digital Foundry articles, being faced with multiple huge walls of text about its compute units is a bit offputting to read. It's not an ideal situation. I feel it would have been better as a proper stage show and games etc, but like Archie says, E3.

BioWare apologises and outlines upcoming changes to transgender NPC

Seriously? I miss the days when companies didn't have to apologize to "communities" online because of a fake character made up of polygons. How much more politically correct can shit get with this pseudo-censorship nonsense? How about the time Capcom had to apologize for Resident Evil 5 with Roid Redfield shooting black folks in Africa, so they had to add in a few Saddam Hussein looking dudes? Oh man that was good stuff.

As Aspro once said, the internet has set humanity back to the dark ages. Or something along those lines. LOL

Just watch the video, it's much easier to digest. Personally I liked that they revealed the specs like this as I don't really care for keeping the specs hidden which leads to constant speculation. The specs are known and out there now and in a couple months the games will be front and centre.

I'm fine with this case myself. Apparently this character introduces themselves and just basically comes out and says, "Hey, I'm transgender." To me that just seems very poorly written and simply put in there for the sake of being put in there.

While I am looking forward to getting Lego City I'm going to wait for a price drop.

GameSpot gave Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition an 8 out of 10. Nice.

I really enjoyed this game when it first came out, it was a whole lot of fun and funny. Plan on getting this new version as well. I hope that it sells well as I'd love to see a sequel.

They've had things like this in every game they've made in the last 5 or 6 years that seem like they're there just for the sake of it. Very trendy.

I replayed Bulletstorm on PS3 a few months ago. Definitely nice that it's being released on more powerful hardware. PS3's framerate was often distracting.

I loved Bulletstorm. Definitely one of my favorite PS3 games. I don't think I will pick it up at full price, but once that get slower I will definitely go back for it.

Damn. Between this and Lego City Undercover I am kind of becoming a hobo gamer again.

It's been super cheap on Wii U for years now.

So I was playing undocked last night. The area around the police station is horrible, the frame rate chugs. Strangely it's less of an issue when driving vs running. Then I made it to the prison and it was completely smooth and far better looking than the Wii U version, even at 720p on the Switch screen. So they have made significant improvements visually to the game, even undocked. I was honestly surprised at how much work they have put in. There are surfaces where the textures are much more detailed and clearer, lighting it better. Having rounded edges on everything makes the presentation seem complete.

The humour in this game too - it's been a while so the jokes still make me laugh out loud, especially all the Shawshank redemption bits.
