This Valiant Hearts game is the real deal. Basically Carmen San Diego meets your favorite adventure game meets WW1 documentary. On top of that thoughtfully expressed and well executed.

Just read the Digital Foundry verdict on Driveclub. If this is where games are going, I'm all for it. Seriously, volumetric clouds being blown by simulated virtual wind? Dust on the windshield affecting how the light scatters on the glass? Dents and scratches being fully procedurally generated? Simulated particles in the upper atmosphere leading to chromatic aberrations appearing on the edges of lens flare?
This is true early next gen: incredible visuals to cover up for a shallow game

The uPlay headache you discussed on the podcast has successfully killed any interest I may have had in it.
More importantly Captain Toad and The Motherfucking Magical Mayhem Makers has a date!
And that date is 2015 for Europe. (f*** you Nintendo)

AI is the one area of gaming that I would really like to see improve a lot. It's too bad game companies have to adhere to the "graphics first" mantra instead. I often wonder just how much better the AI in The Sims 4 or SimCity could have been if Maxis didn't have to keep their PC requirements so low due to them being a casual games.
Maybe these games that let humans invade your game are an attempt to add really good AI where the game can't? And it helps when people have to pay a subscription for online too, I guess.

Spare me. The UK and EU had a pretty good year from Nintendo. You got most of the games at the same time as or before NA, better choice of games for the Platinum reward, better preorder bonuses, and better special editions.
The Resident Evil series hasn't blown fans away with recent releases, but one spin-off starring Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield surprised and delighted many. Resident Evil Revelations, which hit 3DS and last-gen consoles in 2012, received far more acclaim than even Capcom's big-budget Resident Evil 6. The publisher is capitalizing on the excitement with a sequel for last- and current-gen consoles. For our November issue cover story we met up with Capcom in Tokyo, Japan to get our hands on an exclusive section of the game and time to chat with the developers about the game and what to expect from the proper sequel to RE 6.
Our cover story takes a deep dive into Claire Redfield and Moira Burton's harrowing escape from a blood-crusted prison facility. We got special access to a section of the game where the leading ladies fight their way through a cell block and face off with the biggest enemy seen in the game so far. We also got our hands dirty getting used to the subtle, welcome changes to tried-and-true RE 4-style combat, like a new dodge mechanic and the ability to swap between characters. Capcom also opened up to us during extensive interviews about the game's downloadable episodic format, story details, and whether the next main, numbered sequel will focus on true survival horror or something else. The remake of the 2002 GameCube Resident Evil is also looking great, which we saw in action and cover in this expansive RE story as well.

That's bullshit. Is there even a single other Wii U owner aside from yourself on that island you live on?
An American complaining about release dates. Seems legit.

Registration sucks, yes, but as you login first, you just click remember password/auto-login, and you just have to sit there and waste 30 seconds of your life watching the client open; never having to login again. Aspro moment #1452.

I'd definitely get it... If it was on WiiU

Well, Nintendo already retracted the claim that the GC adapter would work with all software compatible with a Pro Pad.
Yes, I am serious.

Shut up, Dutchman!
Still not sure if serious.

Because we're worth it.
Why is there not a Super Smash thread?
Cause the real Smash is not out yet.
That's bullshit. Is there even a single other Wii U owner aside from yourself on that island you live on?
Yep, that's pretty much the case.
I have 3DS Smash and I am quite enjoying it!
I think of it as a portable demo of what's to come... and what's coming is great!
