Time for Rime

What was going to be a PS4 exclusive which Sony pulled funding, with what reports was saying was shady things happening with Tequila works and the Spanish government, has now reappeared and will be coming to PS4, Xbox One and Switch.



We've just got this new trailer thanks to IGN, the game has been described as Zelda x Journey by a few which means I'm rather excited.

Looks pretty.

I think it looks a bit worse then its debut trailer but that might have been more of concept trailer.

So we've got an ambitious-looking indie with a troubled development history and supposed shady-goings-on in the background? Up to you, but I'd not think this was threadworthy until it comes out. Sounds like a whole heap of trouble.

Maybe not but due to the ambitious nature of the game (I'm sort of excited for the game to be fair) but it might be something we can look back on in 5 years time as where the Switch started and if you look at the Wii U board we got things like The Cave being talked about.

I think it is more likely to come out and need a thread then Riverside for instance.

Yeah, it is set to land in May too, so it's not like it's that much of a distant dream either, the thing I'm more likely to question is why it's in the Switch section, but I'm sure we've been over the categorization nonsense many times before.

I thought May was just more info?

We have and the rule is if the game comes to a Nintendo system it goes in that Nintendo systems thread even though personally I would have it in general gaming.

Oh really? Those are some misleading headlines...

Edit: Wait, a lot of articles are saying coming May.

Well then I think a thread is fine, if its that's close and Rime could be a great for the Switch two months after launch.

I'm happy with it being a thread, but disappointed the name of the thread doesn't quite use the low-hanging Xenoblade reference.

That's because I care this much about Xenoblade

Spoiler:

Tbh I think admins should change it and ban mas. (for 7 seconds)

I would have preferred it if the thread was entitled, Ryme Tyme. And the OP required each post to meet the following criteria.

A. It must rhyme
B. It must reference former wwe tag team, cryme tyme.


As things currently stand I cannot endorse this thread.

I don't want to make a fuss
But I agree with Muss.
Anyway, let's drop this like a brick
And get back on the topic.
This game might be easy, might be hard
I wonder if it will be played by Shad Gaspard?

This can be arranged... for a price.  

On the game itself, it looks pretty enough, but isn't this now the second indie game about a boy and a dog having indie adventures on a mysterious indie island coming to Switch?

Yes it is and this will likely be the the better one of the two.

Providing this game doesn't actually invoke the ghost of Franco (from what you're saying about the Spanish government and all that...) it'll probably be alright. I thought that as well though - another boy and canine companion adventure. Also the kid looks quite a lot like yer man from the Last Guardian. Now's the time for another Boy and his Blob reboot, that's all I'll say.

That looks pretty fine to me. Let's hope it doesn't become the Switch equivalent of Trine 2: a beautiful looker with next to no interesting gameplay.

Also, the fox reminds me of Homer's spirit animal.

Been hearing good things and I think EDGE or someone has given it a 9/10 which is a little socking when you heard things that might have been going on behind the scenes.

From first ever trailer lot of comparisons was made to Wind Waker now from previews it is said to be a cross between Journey, The Witness and The Last Guardian which sounds right up my street.

I will likely get it Friday on PS4 instead of waiting for the Switch version in the summer as it's cheaper and not 720p also trophies.

Digital version is the same across consoles, so if I do ever get it it'll be on Switch.

£26 on PS4 at the moment. I know it's only £4 but that and the other benefits is why I'll go PS4 (most bang for my buck) as I can't see me playing a game like Rime on a handheld either.

I'd like to get behind this but I will be waiting for the Switch version, it looks like something I'll enjoy more on the Switch much like Yooka-Laylee plus it's that old story, if I support the Switch then the games will keep coming.

I'm much more likely to play any game on handheld than I am a purely home machine, especially once I move home.
In short: What Smurf said.

Yeah it's different course for different horse situation as games I feel better suit a handheld I'll be getting on Switch then console feeling games like this which will be picked up on PS4.

My review went up this morning on Gintendo, the short version is I like the game but runs like soup and comes out the same week as LA Noire, Rocket League, Skyrim and about another 13 games.

If it wasn't getting a bit of a bad rap due how it runs and people weren't picking up the others then I think this would be a big hit on Switch but for now I can only see it doing well in a sale.
