Chat Official Chat Thread - The Third

While we're in the subject of AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA[...]

[Rumours has it that it's one of 'em there prequels or sum'thin and that theys call'im Red Dead Retribution. it also hollers 'bout dem trailers ridin' in soon-like.

And another rumour about Good & Evil 2? Might be a NX exclusive, kind of like that Bayonetta 2 deal.

-edit-
And the official name for the new Red Dead game is...

Red Dead Redemption 2.
Damnit Rockstar, you could've put more effort into it. I kind of fancied Red Dead Retribution. Or Red Dead Revengeance.

That's a small nitpick, though. But as I expected, no PC version announced as of yet.

 

Well then:


This is the fabled Nintendo NX. It is called Nintendo Switch. And all those leaks were actually true, it is a portable-console hybrid with dettachable controls.

 

What even? All the hype for this?

 

Hype? Hmm. As I said elsewhere, I was more curious than excited. After the Wii U fiasco and some other shenanigans by Nintendo, I can't say I saw the hype train passing by. In any case, I won't buy one until Nintendo makes it back to Brazil.

 

Well, Ok.

 

Was that Skyrim I saw?

 

uhh, sorry...?

umm..
Hey look! Another trailer!
*runs*

aye. dat 'twas.

 

I'm waiting to see what games are being pushed out on Switch.
So far, the publisher list is looking very solid.

 

They have some big names there, like Bethesda, EA, Atlus and Activision. But some of the names I saw on the list bailed on the Wii U before. Whether they'll come through in the end this time, is anyone's guess

It's worth noting that the Switch seems to boast a Tegra processor. It's not that powerful compared to the competition yet again, but it's easy to work with. Glad to see Nintendo still doesn't put all their chips on prettier graphics.

 

Hopefully we can get full details on the Switch sometime soon. Curious to know if it comes with other charger cables or uses the 3DS charger cable. Would suck if it only requires the dock for charging the tablet.

 

I need this NX Vita.

 

Yes, but it's not confirmed.

I've heard rumours that the Switch is region-free, but I can't seem to find a reliable source.

 

Region-free or not, it will be obscenely expensive if I have to import it.

Puppy! :D

 

What Even? What Even? What Even? What Even? What Even?

 

I've been hearing it'll be region-free as well, from a source whose leaks have been spot-on so far, so I'm pretty confident it will be so.

 

No idea if I will get the Switch. Yet...

 

Mass internet outages are being reported due to a DDoS against Dyn, a major DNS provider.

Websites reported to be down are Spotify, Netflix, Twitter, BF1's servers, and thousands of other sites on Dyn DNS. Its also slowly spreading across the world from the US due to Dyn's servers checking eachother to see if theyre alright, and then shitting the bed.

This is not on the level of some script kiddie, its quite possible that a country like China or Russia is behind this.

 

Ok.....
