PlatinumGames is interested in bringing ‘Star Fox Zero’ to Switch
How many Wii U games would that make on Switch?
The post PlatinumGames is interested in bringing ‘Star Fox Zero’ to Switch appeared first on NME.
PlatinumGames has said it would be interested in porting Star Fox Zero to the Nintendo Switch if Nintendo wanted to.
Released on the Wii U in 2016, Star Fox Zero received some mixed reviews, primarily down to how the game used both the gamepad and the TV screen at the same time during gameplay. With many adding that the controls were more manageable during repeated playthroughs.
Studio head at PlatinumGames Atsushi Inaba spoke to VGC about the possibility of bringing the game to Switch and said: “It’s not cool that people aren’t able to play older games because they’re locked out of the platform, so of course if anything was possible we’d like to bring over any of those older titles to the newer platforms.
“It kind of depends on what’s in the realm of actual possibility, but yeah, if the chance came up it’s definitely something we’d like to think about,” Inaba added.
Star Fox Zero was developed by both PlatinumGames and Nintendo EPD, the division of Nintendo that focuses on developing video games. Porting the game to Switch would likely mean that the dual-screen controls would need to be removed, as the Nintendo Switch wouldn’t be able to use them in handheld or docked mode.
Inaba also said that “the important thing to remember here is that because it’s Nintendo’s IP, the ideas are coming from Miyamoto-san himself. Of course, at that time there was a lot of discussion between Platinum and Nintendo, but if the opportunity came up to bring Star Fox Zero to the Switch again it would be more of a question of what he would like to do in that opportunity, and of course, we would respect that again”

A new and improved Steam client has been released
The update also patches a plethora of client bugs
The post A new and improved Steam client has been released appeared first on NME.
Valve has just released a brand new Steam client which aims to improve the download and storage manager.
In a new Steam community post shared yesterday (September 10), the developer shared that the downloads page in the updated Steam client has been replaced with a new implementation and has been “visually redesigned for clarity and ease of use”.
To break it down, the new downloads page has now changed how games are patched and downloaded. “When a game/update is actively downloading it will now display the total progression completed for the download or update,” the post reads.
As Valve noted, the progress bar would previously only display the downloading content progress but not the disk allocation process which would make an update appear completed when it wasn’t. In addition, partially finished downloads and updates in the queue will show a faded progress bar and per cent completed next to it to clearly display its current state, and the queue can now be reordered manually.
Several other changes include an update to the “View News” icon which now reads “Patch Notes” and will show information on game updates as well as an option for the completed downloaded game to launch upon completion, and a way to “suspend download throttling”.
For storage management, an updated Steam library folder UI for easy content management across multiple drives has been added, along with the ability to allow mounting library folders on read-only drives and the option to allow removing empty library folders on fixed drives.
A plethora of other changes has also been implemented such as general fixes to bugs and various other updates that caused trouble to the client. You can read the patch notes here.

THE OFFSPRING Guitarist Blasts TRUMP Supporters Who Believe Presidential Election Was Rigged: ‘The Truth Doesn’t Matter To Those People’

THE OFFSPRING guitarist Kevin "Noodles" Wasserman spoke to "The Blairing Out With Eric Blair Show" about the lyrical inspiration for the title track of the band's tenth studio album, "Let The Bad Times Roll", which came out in April. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "There's two ways of looking at it. One is, God, there's so much going on in this world. How do you combat it? Well, fuck it. Bring it. Let the bad times roll. That's one way of looking at it. The other is it's what our leaders are saying to us. 'You think I'm bad now? You think I'm screwing with you now? Just wait. I'm gonna get worse.' I think we saw that a lot over the last four years in this country. But I think we're also seeing it around the world. You're seeing a rise of really ethnocentric nationalism happening around the globe; it's not just in this country. And when those movements come to power, bad things happen — wars happen; world wars happen. And I don't think people are realizing just how dangerous some of those forces that are gaining power are."
Noodles also explained the line "the truth is what we're erasing" in "Let The Bad Times Roll", saying: "You've got people going on TV and just lying — flat-out lying, making things up. The idea that [Donald] Trump didn't lose this last [presidential] election. He lost this election. This was a fair and free election, but there's people that do not believe that that's what happened. The truth doesn't matter to those people. They're going to believe their leader regardless of whether he's lying to them — which Trump is lying to you." He then looked straight into the camera and repeated, "Trump is lying to you. But they're gonna believe that anyways.
"It's crazy this is where we are in this world today," he continued. "And it's not just Trump. Like I said, that kind of stuff is happening all around the world in different governments, in different parts of the world.
"For democracy to succeed — and I'm very pro-democracy. I know that we live in a democratic republic. But I'm very pro-democracy, and I think that people should have a say," Noodles added. "For the people to be cared for properly and defended properly, they need to have their say. But they also need real information and honest, truthful information. And we're not always getting that in this country, and you're not always seeing that in other parts of the world."
The follow-up to 2012's "Days Go By", "Let The Bad Times Roll" was once again produced by Bob Rock, who also worked on the band's previous two LPs.
Noodles, frontman Bryan "Dexter" Holland, drummer Pete Parada and new bassist Todd Morse wrote and recorded "Let The Bad Times Roll" in the last few years at various locations, including the band's studio in Huntington Beach, California.
The ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ PS5 and Xbox Series X|S trailer has left fans angry
Three generations running
The post The ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ PS5 and Xbox Series X|S trailer has left fans angry appeared first on NME.
The recent trailer for Grand Theft Auto V at the PlayStation Showcase on September 9 has left fans feeling frustrated for plenty of reasons.
To start, the trailer on PlayStation’s YouTube channel currently has (as of September 11) over 1million views and 42,000 dislikes to 18,000 likes. Some of the main issues stem from the fact that the game touts an “expanded and enhanced” label, but many think it still looks exactly the same.
The same trailer was also put on the Rockstar Games YouTube channel has 26,000 likes to 44,000 dislikes, with the other major complaint that a game originally released in 2013 doesn’t look that much better, and has been delayed.
Now the game is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PS5 in March 2022, with it meant to release in late 2021.
The trailer itself touts improved graphics, enhanced gameplay and seamless character switching, but that clearly isn’t enough to win over quite a few players.
One user said: “This has to be the most pathetic “Enhancement” of a game I’ve ever seen. All you’ve done is allow the game to play at high PC settings on newer consoles and tweaked that horrendous loading screen, which on an SSD only takes a second or two to change characters anyway.”
Take-Two also recently sued the programmers who reverse-engineered GTA 3 and Vice City’s source code. The programmers have been working on the ‘re3’ project, which aimed to bring unofficial ports to handheld devices like the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation Vita and Wii U.
The ports also included quite a few improvements like bug fixes, a rotatable camera, XInput controller support on PC and widescreen support.
In other news, the voice actor for Venom in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has said that the game is “massive” and that’s why it’s coming out in 2023.
