Day 1 for Gamepass, our cup runneth over. <3

I don't think there is a better reason to need to re-play, or experience Oblivion for the first time. But man, no matter what, Bethesda going to Bethesda. What originally felt like a game on the edge of the limits of content and design, comes back almost 2 decades later, seemingly feels like realizing graphics both improves but does not make the game. I think the ability to scale graphics to any level is a benefit but at some point, you pass the point of wondering if you should just boot up the original with mods. I pray we get some quality of life announcements in the forecast.

*edit - Just realized my old man brain time traveled 13 years back and said towerfall ascension unlocked today, Towerborne is the beat em up you should check out.

2/4/2025 - Nintendo Direct Recap and Thoughts. Nvidia states it is 10x more powerful than the original switch, therefore by Nvidia logic 5070=4090=switch 2.

3/4/2025 - Apparently the follow up stream was filled with people just spamming about price.

*List of edits and updates for accuracy!*

*The panel in handheld mode is capable of 120hz, VRR, and HDR. Metroid Prime 4 for example is being advertised as 1080p120 in performance mode.

*Can use non-nintendo USB cameras but there is some vagueness about compatibility

*Not all titles are $80 USD, Bravely Default Remastered is $40USD per a Target ad for example

*Deltarune episodes 3&4 were announced, 1&2 already exist but I didn't have that on my radar

*Digital foundary's visual critique was decent for expectations but obviously gameplay on the screen>youtube compression

Someone should stand up and say the original was better while agreeing you can still have fun playing FF7 rebirth/remake. It is really an amusement park themed retelling, of the concept of final fantasy, using FF7 as a foundation, that was allowed to M.Night Shyamalan too many times. I just think people would have paid money for half the game this actually was but focusing on the right kind of character development and things that would make sense, more than how many mini games and multiverses one can fit in a final fantasy game.

6/10

Nostalgia bait, except they delivered on it. It's hard not to feel like the great circle picked up where the trilogy ended. I haven't enjoyed an indiana jones game since Fate of Atlantis and really the lego games were the only real contenders.

Odd start to the year with Sony events and discussions, Xbox deciding even you can be an xbox if you want to be, and having two Take Two studios releasing games within months of each other.
