Topic: General PlayStation 4 Thread

It's almost certainly not the classic that Bluepoint is working on, but I'd love if it was a remaster or a ground up remake of Killzone 2 for PS4. Still my favorite FPS from last gen and aside from Halo: Reach there hasn't been an FPS since that I enjoyed as much. KZ 3 was good, not great, Shadow Fall was decent at best and the 343 Halos have disappointed me.

@Kidfried Not surprsing Snake Eater is rumored as one as that seems to be the best one out of them all according to most people. I wish they would do a remaster of the first one. The only one that they did was the remaster for GameCube but that was how long ago?

@Kidfried Isn't that just a typo? Can't find anything on it anywhere else.

If it's true, that's great! Then I don't have to do that thing anymore to play them that I'm not allowed to talk about, even though it's completely fine to talk about!

@Kidfried But it's already on the Vita, right? At least, if we're talking about the same collection.

As much as I would love a remaster of the first MGS it would take a mahoosive effort to do, it would need to be a remake kinda like final fantasy 7. I don't see Konami putting that much effort in.

That hd collection was also on the ps3.

So we would be getting a remaster of a remaster. Lame

I wonder if that is the 'classic' that blueprint are working on?

@Kidfried What do you think the classic game Bluepoint is?

@Kidfried Well, I'd welcome a port of 2 and 3 if that means I have easy access to it. I still think it may be a typo though.

Have you ever played the GameCube remake of MGS1? Is it any good and/or does it resemble the original in any way?

@Kidfried I'll give it a try if I can find it for cheap!

Twin Snakes is much worse than MGS1 in my opinion. The tone is just so off. That's not to say it's bad by any stretch, but it's by far the inferior version of the two.

I expect the same of the FF7 Remake. A decent enough game that doesn't live upto the original.

Chasm coming to PS4 AND PSVita, Summer 2018!

Well this is awesome! Will be cross-buy.
From Reddit:
'Back when Axiom Verge launched on PS Vita, lots of people asked Dan Adelman (who handles the business side of both games) if Chasm would launch there too. Dan replied that it would depend on how Axiom Verge did. Well, I’m excited to confirm that Axiom Verge did well enough on PS Vita that we decided to make Chasm cross-buy. And best of all, this added no time to our schedule, since the guy who did the Axiom Verge port was able to get Chasm’s code base up and running while we were still working on the game.'

Great that these guys found success with Axiom Verge on Vita. I did my part, even though i still haven't played it yet. Should probably get to that.

New Spider-Man ''trailer''. It's a teaser for next month's Game Informer issue on Spider-Man;

@KratosMD but in sunset overdrive you can fight and do all the crazy stuff while traversing but here you are only traversing

I don't know if this is common knowledge, but apparently Insomniac had their pick of any Marvel character and they went for Spider-Man.

Also they reiterated that the game is 'never' coming to Xbox One.

Interesting insight. Seems like guys at insomniac really like light hearted games with interesting traversal so I guess that's why they chose Spider-Man.

@Fight_Teza_Fight "They do not own Spider-Man..." - apart from in all commercial matters outside of the publication of comics.

@KALofKRYPTON Yeah, that was a bit weird, but technically they're right I think. They don't own Spider-Man, they own the rights to Spider-Man when it comes to video games. At least, that's how I understood it.

@NecuVise @KALofKRYPTON @Octane I wonder if we’ll ever get the details of how the deal came to fruition. It’s must be part of Sony allowing Spidey into the MCU deal & Marvel giving them the exclusive video game rights to any one character.
Or Sony could’ve been like: ‘give us a Super Hero & let us make an awesome game’.

Let’s not forget Assasin’s Creed x Final Fantasy XV was an elevator pitch (literally) .

@Fight_Teza_Fight @Octane
Oh yeah - Marvel 'own' the character, name, likeness etc.
Unfortunately while the company was in trouble in the 80's they sold off rights to pretty much everything to the highest bidders. As I recall, MGM had Spidey, and did try to develop several features (with productions from Corman to Cameron) - when MGM were struggling, Sony swooped in to pay for distribution of James Bond with Spidey as a sweetener as MGM were about to lose the rights back to Marvel.

Directly, other than comic and considerable merchandise sales, Marvel don't make all that much from Spider-Man.

Marvel have done a pretty good job of clawing back various rights to their properties in the intervening years, other than from Fox and Sony. Fox is pretty much a done deal, Marvel are even relaunching Fantastic Four comics (after ceasing publication due them not having film/merch/games rights).

The MCU deal was a good one. Sony pays nothing towards production but got a massive cut of the distribution. Marvel took all of the movie merchandising rights.

I doubt massively, with Disney being the way they are that Sony had carte blache to use any character for a game.

@Kidfried in VR!
