“A Switch Online membership may have been hard to justify until now if you don’t find the library of NES games appealing or don’t have a passion for online multiplayer games like Splatoon 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Arms, or Mario Tennis Aces. However, if you’re going to be getting Super Mario Maker 2, now might be the time to either pick up or renew your subscription.”

If you’re the type of person who wouldn’t subscribe to NSO on principle and it’s online multiplayer games didn’t interest you, I seriously doubt just one game would be enough to change your mind to start subscribing.

Xaevi1796d ago

So, in order to play created levels, and upload created levels you need an online sub? Cause if so then it's a hard pass from me.

Sirk7x1796d ago (Edited 1796d ago )

Yes, which sucks for sure, but the digital version does have a bundle with a year subscription for $10 extra. Also, the game does have about 100 or so pre-built single-player levels (might be more) that are part of a story mode. And a cool class or lessons of sort on philosophies and principles for level design.

FullmetalRoyale1795d ago

That's the version I picked up. I couldn't really complain at that price, as it is very reasonable for 10 bucks.

KeeseToast1796d ago

They also are limiting the number of levels you can upload to 32

King_Noctis1796d ago

I still won’t pay for the Nintendo Online service (yet), but I can see the appeal as Mario Maker 2 shared levels definitely lead to hours upon hours of gameplay.

Teflon021795d ago

Wait so Nintendo online is to actually have online functionality? PS Plus was just more multiplayer so things like that shouldn't be effected even without plus. That's some BS for a service so crap. Once my free year on amazon is done I'm basically not going to have online functionality?

Gemmol1795d ago

Mario maker allows you to play with others online friends or random people so yes it’s needed

Steam Account Transfer Via Will on Death is Not Permitted, Valve Confirms

In case you were curious, a Steam account transfer via will is not permitted according to an official response from Valve.

anast17h ago

The games are theirs. People just pay to ride the ride.

Would be nice if the article's writer looked into and reported whether other digital game libraries could be transferred over via will (Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, EGS, EA app, GOG, Ubisoft Connect, Rockstar Launcher etc) instead of this half-baked piece but it's probably the same for all of them anyway

This seems like a way bigger issue than mandatory PSN account linking for PlayStation games.

So where is the outcry?

CDPR say Witcher 4 will be different from Witcher 3: "We don't want to be stuck in the same spot"

The next Witcher game will still be an RPG but players can expect new things as CD Projekt Red want to push boundaries and discover new ways of storytelling.

Terry_B14h ago

Each of the 3 existing Witcher games is pretty different from each other..

just_looken7m ago

They were different because they went from being a port studio with there last port being the god awful saints row 2 pc port to making the witcher one.

The first witcher was there first actual game with there own engine the 3rd one showed there years of experience/in house engine improvements.

This witcher game has very very few of the original people behind it and its using unreal engine like so many other games.

The big elephant in the room is that they are now proudly esg supports and go to a panel of esg reps to approve there games now.

The is cdpr 2020's not the 2010's cdpr we used to know.

https://www.gamesradar.com/...

Take the blood/sex/nudity/adult humor/combat system/rpg mechanics/writing/story charecters/art/design and there passion/drive from the first 3 games throw it in the fucking trash there now you got what they have right now for the witcher 4.

New engine new writing team new everything even esg leadership so yeah "Witcher 4 will be different from Witcher 3"

Kaii14h ago

My only issue with 3 was with the combat

bRuud832h ago

Combat was never the strongest part of the series.

just_looken7m ago

True but anyone that thinks witcher 3 2.0 combat is bad would never get past the first section of witcher one.

Profchaos1h ago

I felt 3 was ok took a long for it to click but I tried 2 and I found combat controls to be my biggest barrier to actually enjoying it was about 50 times clunkier than 3

thorstein15m ago(Edited 14m ago)

I thought the weakest point was the copious amount of dialog. Sometimes less is more. I remember clicking through just to get to the objective.

helicoptergirl14h ago

Bethesda seems like a studio that is "stuck in the same spot". Development wise. Glad CDPR are wary of that element in game design.

Hugodastrevas3h ago

This can either go very well or very badly. I hope the latter.

just_looken5m ago(Edited 4m ago)

That is on your mobile device they copied pokemon go few years back

Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica Remakes are reportedly in the works, not Resident Evil 1

Industry insider Dusk Golem reveals that there is no Resident Evil 1 Remake in the works. Instead, Capcom are reportedly in active development of Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica.

-Foxtrot1d 18h ago

RE Zero would be better to do first over RE1 because they can tie the story into RE1 more.

The original RE Remake was weird because Rebecca never mentioned anything about what happened in Zero and it felt so disjointed because Zero was developed during the Remake and they clearly didn't share any notes with one another.

Cacabunga17h ago

Wise decision. 2 of my favorites!

repsahj5h ago

RE Zero is one of my favorite game on gamecube!

Knightofelemia1d 15h ago

TGG_overlord21h ago
