Supergiant is bringing Bastion and Transistor to the Switch? Nice.

Also there’s a game where you can be a Goose asshole to everyone? interesting

Stuart_Hayden · August 28, 2018, 5:35pm

I’ll triple dip for bastion. It’s that good of a game.

Untitled goose game looks fun but I doubt it will have much replay value.

Getting release dates for most of those games at the end was nice.

Warlords was the original subtitle. Genma Onimusha was the Xbox version. Pretty happy about this re-release, I’m definitely getting it, but kind of a shame it doesn’t seem to be the Genma version

Cyberpunk wow

Never clicked so fast in my life.
Game looks amazing but I got a feeling this game will be on PS5.

As a wise man once said, here’s my DAY JUAN HAUL!

This is such a strange launch trailer

I’m disappointed the Onimusha release is a standalone and not a collection. I would love to replay through all three games again.

Eurogamer Cyberpunk 2077 interview:

The one change the demo did have is you could now play as male V as well. I was interested to see that regardless of the gender you always seem to wake up in the morning with a male companion.

Weber: In this demo at least you will always wake up to another man, so we can show different kinds of relationships will be part of the game, and players will be able to choose what kind of character they want to play.

Right, including the character creator which we got a glimpse of at the demo’s start. How far along is that? Is the version we saw close to what we’ll see in the final game or do you have a lot of options yet to add in?

Weber: I think it reflects our intention for what we want to do but definitely it’s still in development. I expect there will be changes, some more interesting things, but I would say it reflects our general intention for what we want to give you in the final game.

I ask because the option in it is to play as a male or female character type. If someone wanted to choose a character who was gender fluid, how would you portray that?

Weber: You know, as an example in the character creation you can do that by not calling the type of body you choose ‘man’ or ‘woman’, but just title it ‘body type’. And then from a male or female body type you can on this basis choose how to make your character.

I didn’t write it down when watching the demo, but are they labelled ‘male’ and ‘female’ in there currently?

Weber: I think the way it is right now, we’re not saying either. We’re basically showing it to you and you choose which of the bodies you have as the basis to then go on and make the character.

Beyond the aesthetics, could you choose to have a different pronoun? Is that an option in the game?

Weber: I honestly don’t know yet. What I can say was that it was a part of Cyberpunk 2020 but how exactly we’ll do it in Cyberpunk 2077 I don’t know yet. But it is definitely a thing we are aware of.

I know plenty of fans who would appreciate that, and after all, you have a main character with a name that doesn’t specify any gender.

Weber: Well exactly. That’s why we chose that name, because V works for male, works for female and we thought it would be a good option…

…for gender fluid as well?

Weber: Yeah.

The interviewee seems a little annoyed during that interview.

Xvideos · August 28, 2018, 7:41pm

To give it some context, that article was written 4 days after the twitter fury over Cyberpunk 2077’s joke.

It looks a lot like the PS2 version and camera/movement appears to be fixed/tank. I really hope I am assuming things because that is one of the biggest factors in making this game feel outdated. To put it into perspective, Bushido Blade on the PS1 had full 3D movement and a camera that followed the action.

Sonichuman · August 28, 2018, 9:02pm

I’m not entirely certain why you are using a fighting game to illustrate your point on a game from the action (…pretty sure Onimusha falls in this cat) genre.

Hawkingbird · August 28, 2018, 9:12pm

The original Onimusha is Resident Evil with melee combat. The Bushido Blade comparison makes no sense.

chadouken · August 28, 2018, 9:14pm

One more week until Foreskin! Woot!

Gasaraki · August 28, 2018, 9:49pm

Oh nice, they are adding an normal analog movement support option too. Also a new soundtrack apparently?

AriesWarlock · August 28, 2018, 9:58pm

If you are going to upgrade your PS4 PRO HDD, only a phillips screwdriver #0 will work.

Hawkingbird · August 28, 2018, 10:00pm

New voice acting too. It’s gonna be weird to hear new voices for this game.

NeverYouMind · August 28, 2018, 10:02pm

It is a proof of concept on weapon combat with full 3D movement mechanics. Mechanics transcend genres, so what difference does genre make in justifying that an action game released 4 years later has an archaic movement system.

P.S. Tank controls and fixed camera confirmed…
