Would be just my luck for Nintendo to release a HD remaster just as I finally complete it :eek:

I'd be pretty sure Nintendo will release a HD trilogy to drum up excitement for 4.

Is it not all but confirmed the Switch port of Trilogy is done and dusted?

No mention of a port at all but this is Nintendo. They could hold a direct and say the trilogy will be out in a month.

It's only rumour, so take it with some salt, but - http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/01/rumour_metroid_prime_trilogy_for_nintendo_switch_is_ready_to_be_released

Or else they'll sit on a potential goldmine of a conversion and let it wallow in obscurity for a decade or so. Ninty make some funny decisions sometimes

If the rumours are true, I'd say they'll time it to appear ahead of Prime 4, whenever that may be.

Retr0gamer

Yeah it was probably ready for the Prime 4 release which has been delayed.

Would make sense to release it now so people can spend some time playing through the first few games in anticipation of 4.

Maybe they could be nice and stick Samus Returns on there as well!

Have you played the 3DS remake? Been on my to buy list for ages.

Picked it up recently, it's looks the part but I'm finding it a but odd on the 3DS, I'd be far happier with an upscaled version on the Switch

Retr0gamer

It's decent enough but the reliance on the counter attack gets stale well before the end. Enemies are total damage sponges meaning the counter attack is the only viable attack.

Must play more AMR. What little I played of it was fantastic.

Played a bit of Wipeout VR, really cool free update. I could see myself getting really immersed looking at the track ahead. Need to get back into it, very fun game and a good challenge too.

Started and finished Silent Hill 2 last week using the Enhanced Edition mod for the PC.
Start to finish loved the game, loved the little bit of lore I was able to find around and the backstories of the secondary characters had me very interested.
A week on and I find myself still thinking about the game and the world it created, something that rarely happens to me, especially when visiting older titles I missed first time around. I must get in a second playthrough after Dragon Quest 11.
Highly recommend Silent Hill 2 if you haven't played it before

Retr0gamer

It really is an incredible game and one of the few I'd consider art.

Getting the torch...
Scared the fupping sh1te out of me ..

Shapey Fiend

Finally getting around to The Last Guardian and I must say I'm quite impressed. Not running into any issues with the AI not doing what it should. Preferred Ico to SotC so this sort of blend of the two is a pleasant surprise. The environments and animation are fab.

I've honestly never finished it without a walkthrough at some point. The Silent Hill games look pretty good with 1080p and wide-screen mods.

Is there anything else in the mod other than resolution? I must give it a proper playthrough soon, give all the riddles a proper attempt etc.

Most of the mod seems to aimed at bringing the pc version up to the standard of the ps2 version with some of the xbox improvements as well so outside of higher resolutions and widescreen, there's not a whole lot more you wouldn't see on the consoles. It seems to get updated with some regularity so there could be more added down the line.

Hi there, doe's anyone remember an arcade game, where you had a shield which comes out of a chain.
You'd use the shield as a weapon.

Hopefully I'll add it to my collection on my Huawei p20

Always found the NES version better. The arcade one is fun but gets very samey fast.

Thanks guy's much appreciated

Any of you guys playing much Tetris 99 on the Switch?

Started sinking some time into it last night. Managed to get down to the last 10 and almost had a heart attack from adrenaline - at that stage there was zero skill and it was just me freaking out trying to juggle pieces at the top of the screen as long as possible.

That's about where I top out at. Had a 3rd placed finish once but haven't got past that yet.

I have noticed that playing without sound helps me do better though. The way the music ramps up with more and more players going out made it too tense for me.

DaveyDave

I would be playing Silent Hill 2 on PC but having some trouble with all the Enhanced Edition mods...

Edit: Seems to work now, but it's too late to start. Need to map the Xbox controls also. Gonna try do a walkthrough free playthrough for the first time ever.
