Sequel to the 1994 game. Dave Gibbons (Watchmen) is back on board for art direction once again.
Yes, it's coming to consoles too, despite the lack of logos at the end of this trailer.

Everyone's asking Game Pass on Switch but I want Apple Arcade. Every single AA game is getting ported to Switch, it'd be nice if we could use our AA account to download them for free. Beneath a Steel Sky is one of those games.
Dude it isn't Nintendo that decide yes/no for midnight releases on third party software. Take it up with Activision!
I totally forgot Amalur is coming out in a week for Switch.
Pretty excited for it, but I'm definitely waiting to hear how the port is.
Is it like a visual novel? That trailer gives off Fallout vibes at first, then hops into VN territory.
The original game was a point-and-click adventure, if that helps. I expect this will be in much the same vain. It'll probably play much like a Telltale game or something to that effect.
Bought but not played. Doubt I will get to it for a bit, but played a couple of hours of the PC version a while back. Just enough to confirm that it's totally my jam. And yeah, it was very well received on PC by fans of the genre.
Unrelated open question:
1) Saga Scarlet Grace: Ambitions
2) Trials of Mana
3) whynotboth.gif
almost did the same and knowing me, I'll probably still do it, but I want to get Amalur (again, assuming the port is good) in 4 days and then Rise on the 26th, both games that will hold me over for quite a bit (especially Rise) so buying the Square shit right now is simply just dumb for me (like when I bought every Final Fantasy and havent played any yet lol).
Again, I'll probably still cave tho
I love that the dev was like oops, totally misunderstood what Nintendo wanted! I'm much happier with the new icon
Yeah, it was so awful, I even said to myself that this had to be a mistake and no one intentionally chose that. lol
My thirst for QiX is so that I ended up getting BISHOUJO BATTLE CYBER PANIC!
Lol, don't judge me
Which is basically... Gals Panic with (a lot) less personality. But the gameplay is good as always and it's just a fiver (it's correctly priced, I don't think it's worth more as a package although I'm very pleasantly surprised it includes online leaderboards for that price). For me, online leaderboards which are a must for arcade games, even when I suck at a game it's more fun to improve and get higher in the score ranks, it just makes me enjoy games much more.
For what I've seen the anime girls are not *much more succinct than your regular anime girls, tho some are in kinda sexy poses (tho I've only seen the first 20 levels or so). Regardless, not why I play these games, and I imagine it's more to piggyback on the Gals Panic name/"fame" more than anything.
Damn I wish there were ACA Qix and ACA Gal's Panic 1/2 (I don't like how 3/4/S don't have a scoring system) For the record, Gal's Panic 2 is my favorite of all Qix-like games.
It's just so much fun!
Or even a port to modern consoles of Cubixx HD and Patchwork Heroes (rip Japan Studio).
Edit:
NSW gameplay:

Crash 4 is super fun so far. I made it to the third world and I think the sweet spot for me as far as completion is just going for the 6 basic gems in every level instead of aiming for 100% with the relics and the time trials. It still feels like you need to go through a level a few times to get everything and it's still fun to collect every crate (despite some absolutely bullshit box placement in a few stages). Besides, there's a tangible reward for the gems in the form of skins instead of the less consequential stuff you get when you do the whole thing so it actually feels worthwhile.
I'm actually into the Flashback Tapes too but I can see those getting pretty intense before long so the jury is still out on that one, but I really like the idea behind them and contextually the concept is pretty inspired. But yeah, overall this is the best-playing Crash game by far and a really good comeback for the series.
Now let's see if I end up hating it by the end.

Well for one, I am European, and it is not out here afaik :P
You're thinking about Littlewood, Everhood is available since last week :p (don't worry, I also mistake one for the other all the time)
I think there's confusion over Everhood and Littlewood. I know it's gotten me at least once...
Does Cyber Panic contain as much nudity as Gals Panic? Less "personality"?
Nudity? What?? I've never played the last GP games but I've never seen nudity in Gals Panic.
For Cyber Panic, I embedded a trailer in my post but no, not at all. They are drawings. Fully clothed.
Yes, less personality. The artstyle, characters (monsters etc) and gfx effect and special items etc. can't compare at all, everything is very sterile in CP.
Fake Edit: This is crazy, today I learned that some GP games showed breasts. I haven't played them all (I mean the PS1/Saturn game was all ages) and have never emulated them but I have played them A LOT as a teen in the arcades. I wonder if there were deep switches to set the "nudity level".
Now for sure they won't come to ACA Arcade then :( I wish they were simple freaking pictures of vistas/panoramas/whatever, because I freaking love the gameplay
When I was a kid/younger the seedier arcades used to have the Gals Panic machines with nudity. They were "popular". They also had the Data East pool game, Side Pocket, but a strip version also with nudity. Also very popular.
Robonauts might be my favourite 89p purchase ever, rather fun and the music is great too. I'm rather LTTP perhaps but yeah check it out. Has a Demo as well.
We now have Square Enix sales.

Bishoujo Battle Cyber Panic is 20%off as a special launch price, or at least it is in EU+ eShops
Digitally, I don't think so? SE is pretty routine with their pricing for sales ime.
I have a friend who swears she bought FFXII Switch for 10 physically 🤷🏻♀️
How is Star Ocean First Departure R? Saw it's on sale. The pictures remind me of some Tales games which I enjoy. Any thoughts?
It's a good port of the PSP version of the game with the added bonus of swapping the not so good remake art for the original portrait art.
though I prefer the original Japanese opening music track to the "R" version.
The original game was made by a splinter group from team wolf (who made TALES OF Phantasia) who formed Tri-Ace, and both were for the SNES.
Check this video out. Goes over the differences in the versions and what's new with the switch version. This channel is really good for any remasters/re-releases.
Thanks! Seems right up my alley. Gonna get it and have something to play during spring break.
I just took a chance and bought The Long Dark in the sale. It's my first real experience with a survival game but I've heard good things.
I picked up Star Ocean, as it said it supports Japanese, but I see no way to get Japanese text? My Switch is set to Japanese, which usually works with Square Enix games. Any ideas?
This would be the first time the language support list is wrong.
Would've bought Japanese version is I knew this would happen.

I don't know about text options but if you'll have a look at the video above it shows you JP voice options. The language listings never specify if it's text or audio language.
Did that M2 Aleste Collection get a western release? I seem to remember that it did, but I can't find it on the German eShop.
No, Japan only at the moment. People were thinking that because PS4 trophies were in English, it was a possibility, but it doesn't seem to mean much.
