maybe we shouldn't

Probably to emphasize that they're a customizable character, and don't have a defined look.

Switch version looks like it might be 30fps, but I'm not seeing any other obvious visual downgrades, so that's something. Lower resolution screen probably helps. It's looking pretty nice.

I'm kinda surprised so many people were put off by the conference. It was a little dull, but not bad IMO. Spider-Man was the highlight. God of War could be good, but it's such a departure from the previous games that I'm pretty cautious about it. Most of the other games didn't interest me but they at least seemed well-made. I liked that they focused on announcements so much- they could've spent 15 minutes talking about their brand, but they didn't. Maybe my expectations were just low.

It's fair to take things with a grain of salt, and I agree that we should wait and see before treating it as fact, but I'd hardly call it baseless when it's being corroborated by people who leaked info on this game before. No, that isn't proof of anything, but hand-waving it like it's some random 4chan rumor doesn't really seem right either.

It's the 11th? That's earlier than I thought. But I'm totally ready. Current rumor floating around that they're making another RPG called "Starfield." I wouldn't put too much stock in it, but it's fun to speculate.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong here, but I think this has to do with the footage here being 30fps. Sonic Mania normally runs at 60fps, so when the footage is presented like this, half of the frames get cut, and you're not always seeing it flicker between the "solid blue ball" sprite and the normal spinning sprites. You can sometimes see this in 30fps footage of other games. Like in this old Game Grumps clip (it's the best example I could find). Shadow takes damage, and is supposed to flicker in and out during his invincibility frames, but appears completely solid because the frames where he's "out" weren't captured. Then the exact opposite happens when it switches to the results screen, and he's completely invisible for a few seconds before reappearing.

Lyn topped it, but if you combined both the Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn iterations of Ike, he actually got the most votes out of any character. Anyway, the official site is out. (Japanese) http://www.gamecity.ne.jp/fe/ More screenshots on the site itself. The game sure looks pretty, if nothing else.

This sounds shitty enough to be real.

Thought this might happen after they showed those weapons in the original CG trailer. It was always obvious that series weren't going to get equal representation but this is pretty lame. Hopefully there are a few exceptions, or others make it in as DLC. Awakening and Fates have some of the series' worst characters.
