I'd forgotten about cross gen games. DF are saying MK9 is probably a cross gen game.


So that's why it doesn't look massively better I guess. The specs have Switch 2 like 8 to 11 times more powerful than Switch 1 in raw power. That doesn't even factor in DLSS, SSD, the RAM amount and bandwidth.

Edge had a good interview with the civ 7 boss. Expect changes. They said they've limited themselves to only changing a third of the game. The new leaders aspect looks positive.

Switch 2 reveal was very basic. Not much to show if you aren't showing the games, we knew it would just be like the switch again, no new gimmick. Doesn't help when the first game you show can be confused for the current Mario kart game. Like GG said, it's weird to do this with zero info, this was all pointless. Just a get off our backs till April 2nd.

When I saw that we won't hear anything else until April I assumed they got the Australian dates wrong and surely what they meant was we'll find out more on February 4th.  Do they really think they can throw up a 2 minute teaser reel and then sit back for 3 months?  It certainly looked like a "Break Glass in Emergency" move just to shut down the leaks.

If I were them I would have sent to the third party publishers "if you announce your game ahead of our Direct, you are dead to us" e-mail.
