RUMOR - Remake of a Disney action title coming to Switch youtu.be

The Lion King game, but now in 3D with TressFX manes!  Worked wonders for the movie, will work wonders for the game.  

Epic Mickey?

So I picked up The Halo Collection on PC, and just finished Reach.

Even if you buy the game on Steam, you have to be signed in to Xbox Live to play the game. Which is weird, but the cool thing is it actually keeps track of all your Halo achievements from the Xbox. So right off the bat you get like a million achievement popups as soon as you start the game. I was like WTF is going on here...

On my PC, it ran perfectly all the way through the campaign at 1080p with graphics on high, unlocked framerate & the FOV set at 100. I played with an Xbone pad...it just seems right & I've never been a big fan of KB/Mouse. I mean I'll do it if I have to, but that's about it. Feels exactly like it would on the Xbox. No issues at all, other than a few odd glitches that I think were in the 360 game anyway. I also played one multi-player match....got into a game instantly & did pretty well...I forgot how fun Halo MP is. It always had it's own charm which is what made it stand out in the first place. May have to play more.

I feel like this game was the end of an era not just for Bungie, but for MS. IMO this game (which is not even the best in the series) that came out in 2010, just destroys anything MS has funded since then. Yeah there's the newer 343 Halo stuff & the newer Gears stuff, but nothing they've published has this kind of larger than life, epic must play feeling anymore. This was the Xbox era that I was a huge fan of, from 2001 to 2010-ish. I actually liked Xbox first party more than Sony's during this time, because it felt like high quality, epic PC style software, brought to consoles.

But yeah, if you wanna play Halo on PC it's definitely worth a buy.

Can't wait to finally finish the trilogy myself! Looks like the ports are actually good this time, too.

Nice, this video came out of nowhere. Developer commentary with gameplay not shown in the trailer. Looks like it's going to be just as killer as RE2r & honestly that multi-player mode looks pretty damn fun. Capcom is on a role.

It's been nearly 2 years since I played it and I didn't spend much time with it. If I recall correctly I just didn't care for the presentation and how the races were tied together. It all felt very jarring to me. Just let me race, I don't need some silly story about attracting people to a festival.

Yeah, that's still there. However, once you get into the actual game (which takes several hours), it fades into the background; so that might have been the case with 3 as well, and you just didn't make it far enough.

Could be, but as my gaming time these days seems to be meassured in chunks of 15 minutes, not hours, I'll be sticking with Asphalt 9 for the foreseeable future.


The fact that I can pick up the Switch and play a whole race of that in the time it would take me to boot up the Xbone and start FH3 also isn't helping. The only thing I'm currently playing on Xbone really is Sea of Thieves.

Takes but a few seconds for me to get into it! The wonders of solid state drives.

I need to try Asphalt 9 myself at some point...

You're playing it on PC I take?  Yeah, Xbox takes ages to boot up and you can't change out the HDD.  I've been thinking of getting GRID whenever it's on sale on the eShop, but for now I'm good with just Asphalt 9.  Although, hilariously and ironically for a game that originated on tablets, it has a 75% chance of crashing and a 25% chance of crashing the Switch if you leave it running while the Switch goes in sleep mode.

Yes. For the next few months (or potentially longer if Games Pass remains $5 for PC) my PC is moonlighting as a Xbox One X.

Looks like a Blade Runner concept art throw away for a skyscraper, but in a good way. But who on earth is coming up with console names at Microsoft?!
