  1. Nice collection @Luseth I remember having Breath of Fire 4, but I can't really recall much of it.
  2. I picked this up the other day. I've started a game, beginning with the pre-historic era, and it's definetly giving the Octopath Traveler vibe. The backgrounds look really good and blend in well with the sprite animations. I'm digging this character so far. There's no conversations. Only pre-historic caveman grunts and groans with some word bubbles depicting pictures of what the NPCs are trying to convey. I'll keep updating as a get further in.
  3. Cheers folks! We appreciate it! 🤘
  4. I always found CRT to be the best display choice for retro console gaming. The newer TVs now a days really show off the flaws of sprite based graphics. I do like how some classic game compilations give the option to use an old school CRT type scaling.
  5. I can't say I'm sad. This is another one that didn't need a remake in my opinion.
  6. And boom. RSS feeds are available. Here's our Spotify link.
  7. I finished this one last night. It's a very disappointing ending IMO. I won't get into details, but if you play through it, you'll see what I mean. This is one example where I'm glad they didn't charge full price for this one. Getting through the story will take most roughly 4-8 hours, even with finding all the collectibles. We may end up talking about this one on a Dice to Pixels episode soon. If you're curious about it, wait for a sale or when it becomes a PS Plus monthly freebie.
  8. I've heard comparisons to Chrono Trigger but I believe there is a bit of some tactical RPG systems, like a grid, in there too. I may end up grabbing it.
  9. Again, yet another example of "been there, done that." Pass.
  10. This one has just released on July 22nd for the Switch and it's giving me some old school, classic SNES ROG vibes. This is a remake/rerelease of a title that never made it's debut over here. If anyone grabs it, please let us know what you think about the game. I'm very curious about it.
  11. As @J4MES OX4D mentioned in a separate thread, GR: Frontline, along with a Splinter Cell VR game, and 2 unknown/unannounced games have all been cancelled by Ubisoft. They've also delayed the release of the upcoming Avatar game. Reasons given by a Ubisoft exec was a "cost cutting measure to emphasize even more focus on our biggest development opportunities." Thoughts? Ubisoft Cancels Ghost Recon Frontline, Splinter Cell VR, Two Unannounced Games WWW.GAMEINFORMER.COM Ghost Recon's foray into battle royale will not see the light of day.
  12. Episode 3 is up on our Youtube channel. RSS feeds for previous episodes are being uploaded shortly and should be available through your favourite podcast apps soon.
  13. Not really surprising. All of the typical Ubisoft micro-transactions aside, I've found the ghost recon series really deviating away from what it was all about initially.
  14. Release date has been confirmed for August 30th 2022! I can't wait to play some of these classics again.
  15. Early thoughts so far... A lot of movement is very scripted. Every jump in the game is guaranteed and the only time you'll fail is if it involves a cut scene of the cat falling. All the little cat actions are there. Meowing a lot, clawing up trees, doors and carpets, knocking stuff off of ledges and shelves. It's a cat lovers dream. Yes, @Rumelylady did give the sad face at the start of the game when the cat was "hurt" but it's not graphically violent at all. There's a little robot companion you find that helps you along the way and you can find "memories" to help it remember who it is. No real combat to speak of. It's more avoiding the little enemies that look an awful lot like the face huggers from half life. Decent so far. I'll update as I go.
  16. I'm gonna pick this one up tomorrow. Since @Rumelylady and myself are cat people, this should be a fun one to play through.
  17. The original had such a unique graphical style at the time that really made it stand out from the crowd. The "remake" made that style look far too realistic. By that, I mean the color palettes were too dark and didn't have that vibrant cel shaded look like the original. Shame. Here's hoping whoever tries to remake it again gives it the treatment it deserves.
  18. That's amazing! These would need to be the machines at that nintendo theme park in Japan. Lol!
  19. Happy Birthday @G_dub52 🤘
  20. Episode 2 is live! RSS and Spotify are coming very soon. Enjoy!
  21. Happy belated to @IRaMPaGe @Findmartin @CookYouVillain @BoroVC @Plumbers Crack @jordie1892 @Commander_Undies and @ChaosGladiator !! 🤘 Happy Birthday to @Horrible_Hector and @evatom1 Cheers folks! I hope you all had and have great days!
  22. I hope it's similar to how nintendo does it with their eshop. Didn't Microsoft try something similar to this that just fell flat? I remember something about using gamer score points to discount or purchase games. Maybe i'm wrong. Sony kind of needs something to spice up their store front to be honest. I hate the UI on the PS5 for it. I wish they overhaul the whole damn thing.
  23. For any North American Sega Genesis fans, this new version of the mini console will be released October 27th 2022 with some Sega CD games on it. The only downside is that it can only be ordered through amazon.
  24. Platinum games announced a release date finally of October 28th, 2022 for this one. I'm not sure if anyone has had any experience with this franchise, but it's a pretty good devil may cry-ish style of a game series. I'll end up getting it, but I feel this series is going to really suffer being a Nintendo exclusive. Shame really. Hopefully, one day, this series can reach other platforms for all to enjoy.
