Interesting time period since now it's the Japanese which have expansion plans and not the Mongols from the first game. It's a video game first but I would be interested to see how the 'Ainu' people are depicted in the game.
If anyone is interested in this time period onwards (I realise this video is not for everyone) -

Just over a month til the election. I believe Kamala will win by quite a large margin, but, of course, Trump won't accept it. And MAGA learned from last time about all the legalities etc. on certifying the election. It's going to be a shitshow again.
Personally, I think the whole thing will be closer but it's difficult in this media fuelled world, where we often end up in echo chambers, to say who will win yet.

It looks like Ubisoft Quebec did a bit more research into things and consulted with Ubisoft Japan and more historians than I had originally thought. That's good however there are still areas that need to be fixed before the game releases. Even if the game was pushed back to early 2025, it would be for the better personally.

Not overly impressed with things at the moment concerning the new government over a wide range of issues. I really feel that they need to read the room and repair public trust in them. The previous government messed things up for sure but they are not in charge now.

So, does anyone else plan to tune in?
Tokyo was a weird one for me a few years ago, especially with it being so sealed off due to COVID restrictions at the time, I didn't feel much enthused by it outside of the opening ceremony and the occasional clip of anime music being blasted in the background.
I don't have a TV license so won't be tuning in. I might watch a few clips via YouTube after the event or read the news about it online but that's it. Tokyo was such a muted affair that I lost a lot of interest in the whole thing, sorry.

I was working early this morning and managed to block all the news about the election until later on which is becoming harder in this digital age. I've lived through so many bread and circuses and changes of government that I've become cynical about this whole thing which I hate about myself. Didn't vote for this government but I wish them all the best especially since Reform will be a constant thorn in their side.
The good thing about voting is that you have the chance to vote out a government that isn't working, shame I can't vote out some sections of the media. Never voted for them.

For my own sanity, I am glad that I don't have a TV anymore, so I don't get sucked into this mess too much.
I will vote of course but who to? - the leader of the blue party (bank manager), the leader of the red party (buliding society manager), the leader of the yellow party (church warden) or the leader of the not purple (cyan) party (that bloke down the pub). Being apathetic isn't great but it would be nice for politicians to do their actual job and people might care a bit more.

What about 0, C:V, 5 and the Outbreak games? Do you reckon they will be remade too?
In time anything is possible. Capcom is the issue here however; perfectly able to remake Resident Evil 2 only to drop the ball with the remake of Resident Evil 3.
Not sure when we will get to see the remake of Resident Evil Survivor though.
Lastly regarding the original Resident Evil game yes I am sure it can be remade again especially when you know that the original idea was to make it first person - What Resident Evil Could Have Been | Shacknews

Oh, dear God.
It will be linear and ruined. Want to see crows as enemies, or something else you remember from the 2002 version? Then you can just go and demand it all as DLC to let Capcom know it sucks!
My interest overall? Bomb out of zilch.
So the link given is linked from dsogaming is to a reddit post (Daniel's post is behind Patreon that you have to join to unlock) which is then linked an 'X' post in Arabic, which via google translate becomes...."Another but uncertain piece of news is that Resident Evil 1 Remake will be released in 2026".
Thanks for that I guess.

Saw the last episode which did feel like a mid season episode but it was fine enough although the first five minutes felt a bit out of place with the rest of the programme.
-
I watched it and while I should be happy that Russell T. Davis, David Tennant and Catherine Tate are back, the episode I watched felt average.
As for the recent Children in Need mini episode, I thought this one was better for Comic Relief was better -

Star Trek II Video Game Watch
- Original Release: 1983 (Possibly)
- Developer: Collins
- Publisher: Collins
- Original Platform: Electronic Handheld
- Not played: Too expensive to get second hand.
I’ve found conflicting information on when this was released, with some places stating 1992. I think it was released in the early 80s in Hong Kong.
Enemies orbit the Enterprise in a circle and you have to aim missiles to shoot them. The game also functions as a digital watch.
I had one of these back in the mid 80s so definitely not from 1992. The strap was plastic and I think it broke after some use over time. Sadly I don't have it now.

I gave my Wii U to my parents around Christmas and they had the error on start up. I assumed it was an issue with my console and bought a 2nd hand one to replace it. Now I hear that the issue is commonplace, which is a little frustrating! Still, at least now I have a working one and Nintendo transferred over my account.
I bought Kokopolo 3D as my final purchase on 3DS. I did realise I had some Themes I’d bought for free with Platinum coins that I’d failed to download. Thankfully Nintendo have extended the ability to use codes for another week, so I’ve been able to get them.
I'm not sure the issue is as commonplace with Wii U's as people see online but it's worrying nevertheless. The biggest worry for me is the lack of any concern about this from Nintendo. So far they have said nothing about the issue. I bought myself a Raspberry Pi Pico last week just in case something happens to my Wii U's in the future.

Did pick up BoxBoy on the 3DS eShop, final purchase i think. Good prices on the Steamworld titles, would pick them up but already own them on PlayStation.
Won't pick up anything on WiiU, my power cable for the console snapped and i don't think i'll be getting another one anytime soon.
I read recently that a few reports have come out about some people switching on their Wii U's after some extended time only to find the NAND inside has failed or has become corrupted. This could be due to the time left alone or I believe certain chips used in the console.

It's the point that the BBC is back in the news again which I talked about earlier. For some people, it will move away from Gary Linker and what he said and move into x person is paid too much and we should defund the BBC...
-
This is a non story to me. I remember years ago (2008), the press went on and on about Jonathan Ross who went to a Russell Brand show on the BBC and said some silly things. The whole thing was blown up by the press. When the BBC is in the news, I lose interest in the story. It's bread and circuses.
I don't have a TV license and I don't watch TV. If Gary Lineker wants to say something on his own twitter account then that's up to him. If he says something political on MOTD then that is a completely different angle.
PS - Ashley, enjoy Japan!

In Charlie Brooker's 'How videogames changed the world', he says Twitter is the number 1 game 'Twitter is a massively multiplayer online game in which you choose an interesting avatar and then roll player persona loosely based on your own. Attempting to accrue followers by repeatedly pressing lettered buttons to form interesting sentences'.
I'm not a big fan of social media in general and there have been multiple studies showing the link between increased social media usage and depression, so I try to avoid it as much as possible. Seeking validation from others in that way seems false.
As much as some journalists want to see Elon and Twitter self explode it won't, and after a few months I think things will get back to some level of stability. Twitter is a business and it needs to turn a profit and people need their dopamine hit.

The lowest point perhaps was 'Resident Evil Survivor' on the PS. It was too short and the hardware was showing it's age when the game was released. Sales - 483,900

If you already have SplatNet 3 from the Nintendo Switch Online app, scan this from the app (not outside) and get an exclusive banner to use in game.

Reviews are coming in. Looks like the general consensus is "more of the same, a little bit better" and that the biggest improvement is the singleplayer, which is longer and much more like the octo expansion.
Got the game yesterday and I agree mostly with 'more of the same, a little better'. I'm sure more things will be added to it but so far it's good. The little things they've added to the game make it feel more polished overall. I still play Splatoon and Splatoon 2 even now so know I will be playing this long into the future.

Well... what do you think? Do you think RE4 is golden, or is it overly praised dog poop?
Why the polarised question?
Regardless, I remember being a loyal GameCube owner back in the day and I heard about this game in gaming magazines all the time. When it came out and I played it I felt slightly disappointed especially as the PS2 version would be out not long after. It would have been great if some of the earlier ideas from the RE4 prototypes had been put into the game and I felt that the story and game style was quite removed from the old RE stories.
RE4 was the game that needed to come out, it helped revive the series and brought a lot of new fans to the series as a whole. I think it's a great game and I loved the Mercs mini game as well. The best game in the series for me however is Resident Evil (remake) on the Gamecube.

Nintendo Sound Clock Alarmo (Early 2025)
in Nintendo Gaming
Posted · Edited by sumo73
What an alarming price! At that price it's just not for me, maybe a price drop or see it on e-bay at some point in the future. Still could see this selling well for Xmas.
The real question is, can it play Doom?
