    I didn't know The Show was going to Xbox and Nintendo.  That's great for the owners of those consoles!
    So, is Sony San Diego still making the game for those other platforms?  I wonder why the studio they own would allow that to get out?  I mean, they will sell three times as many copies, but you'd think you'd want to hold on to that.  Or does MLB have some say in the licencing of the game to just Sony...perhaps wanting to increase the popularity of the sport.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake  is out this coming friday

    DOOM 64 on PS/Xbox is already out.
    Anyone play the Doom game yet?

    Reviews?
    My brother said he had a blast. The first NIntendo 64 game we bought back in the day - but we got stuck at like level 3 or something and returned it for Super Mario 64.

    Suppose to be great:

    So what is everyone currently playing? For me, it's Destiny, Fallout 76 and I still play Skyrim after all these years. And what games are you eagerly awaiting? For me, it's Starfield and Elder Scrolls VI.
    Not even one Nintendo game?

    Super Mega Baseball 3 is coming out soon (at least it was).  It looks cartoonish but a solid baseball sim lies under the hood so it's an option if you are not playing The Show.

    I would think that MLB would want more eyeballs on their product but since my parents don't know who Mike Trout is I'm guessing MLB is unaware that the game even exists.

    Games in my rotation:

    The Show
    Civ 6
    Skyrim
    Animal Planet New Horizons
    Luigi's Mansion

    I have my fingers crossed on FFVII.  Looking forward to Fallout 76 Wastelanders (if it is ever released).  Think it's coming 4/14

    I'm most excited to see how the next gen evolves.  I've been looking at building a gaming PC with a $1000 budget and the early specs on PS4 and XBOX show they are using a version of the AMD Ryzen 7 processor I was looking to purchase (that retails for $400 alone) ... from what I can tell if these system retail under $600 they will be a bargain.

    I think they'll be similarly priced +/- $100.  If i were a betting man, I'm betting they come in at the $499 mark.  
    Profits will likely be minimal out of the gate.

    Gamespot gave FFVII remake a 100 and they sometimes go years without giving out a perfect score.  Think I know what I'm doing this weekend.

    Dragon Warrior Fans - I noticed a few months back that the first three Dragon Warrior games are available on the Switch online store re-done with 16 bit graphics. I loved all those games as a kid and got the first Dragon Warrior free with my Nintendo Power subscription. Dragon Warrior 3 is still the best one ( I wish they had done an upgraded Dragon Warrior IV as that game was great as well )

    I wish I could erase the 200-300 hours of Witcher 3 from my memory and play it as if it were new.

    PS Plus free games for April are Dirt Rally 2.0 and Uncharted 4.  Two very solid free games if you have PS Plus.  I don't know why anyone wouldn't at least claim the game so you can download it later.

    Dirt Rally 2.0 was a game I heard was impossible to play ... it is know as the Dark Souls of car racing games.  I was pretty surprised about how well it plays with a standard controller.  I did 4 stages in 27 minutes with only having to reset my car once.  It is challenging but once you start figuring out the terms the British copilot is yelling at you it starts to make sense and the cars hold the rut pretty well.   I still can't imagine anyone actually doing this in real life.  It would be like if they removed the stands at the Indy 500 and added alligator pits.

    The Xbox Gold free game is Project Cars 2.  This is my review of Project Cars 2:

    project cars 1 blew goats but had promise.  project cars 2 adds much more content, tracks, and cars but ultimately still blows goats.  if you like racing car games where it is impossible to steer a majority of the cars, this is your game.

    Finally picked Mario Odyssey back up last week. Last time I played it was 2018. Didn't realize it had been that long.

    After the first reveal, it came off as kind of uninteresting to me...

    Not sure why. My brother loved it.
