I know it's not much to look at, but this game is great. Probably not worthy of being on something titled the 'PS Classic', but very good all the same.
Thank god this game got on the PS Classic over the likes of Crash Team Racing, Soul Reaver, Tomb Raider, WipEout 2097, Alundra, Gran Turismo, Chrono Cross, Spyro the Dragon, Silent Hill, Rollcage, Rival Schools, Vagrant Story, Fear Effect, Parappa the Rapper, Bust-A-Groove, Soul Blade, Final Fantasy VIII, Bloody Roar 2, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Vandal Hearts, Sled Storm and Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, that's all I can say.
The PS4 has had its best year ever, made a crap ton of money, and yet it feels like Sony is doing little to keep the momentum going. First PSX cancelled and now E3. It's very odd.
I get that they're preparing in advancing for the PS5, but with the insane amount of money the PlayStation brand is making right now, you'd think that Layden & Co could afford to have both a strong launch for the PS5 and keep the new game announcements flowing. Guess not.
Nice to see Detroit getting more love than I expected.
Astro Bot on the other hand is one of the most highly reviewed games of the year, yet only got one nod. I guess it got instantly disregarded due to it being a VR game.
I never played MediEvil 2, only the first game, but everyone who has seems to rave about it and rate it more highly than the first game, so I hope at the very least we get a remake of that too.
I played this game all the time around the time of its release. I loved it back then and I still love it to this day. The controls need a lot of getting used to, as you'd expect of a first-person platformer made years before the traditional dual analogue control scheme we're all accustomed to today. But once you acclimatise, there's a lot of joy to be found in Jumping Flash!. It is bizarre and jolly in equal measure. The sequel is just as good if not better.
Having Knack 2 in your top 20 is a bit embarrassing and not a good look for the PS4. You really couldn't have had something else in its place? Like Gravity Rush Remastered or Rigs or Fighting EX Layer or The Persistence or Yakuza 6 or, well, just about any other exclusive that isn't the first Knack!
"A new generation will finally get to experience the Shenmue series – and will almost certainly come away baffled by the bad voice acting and cumbersome controls."
Put some respect on Shenmue's name. Not only are the controls being remapped for the remaster, but for the first time ever Western audiences will now be able to play the first game with Japanese audio turned on, so we won't have to endure the awful dub anymore.
Folks, the Shenmue games are wonderful. Don't let the PS staff deter you from playing them.
Hopefully they've taken the feedback on board and transformed the game into a dating sim where you as the player have to try your darndest to woo the giant sexy snake babe.
Would explain why the game has been so quiet for so long.
This happened before when it was Kat v Kratos. There was a vote being added every minute in favour of Kratos and it was blatantly the work of a bot. What threw a spanner in the works is that the person responsible didn't realise voting ended prematurely, so it was all for nothing.
Honestly, if the mods here can't detect votes made by bot accounts, then yeah, this whole poll has been rendered irrelevant.
@BladeRider 90% of the reason I voted Kat is simply because I believe she is the superior character through and through. I enjoyed Horizon, but personality-wise I found Aloy to be very limp.
10% of the reason is because Aloy knocked out Trico, Victor and Cloud, all of whom I love. Ratchet is pretty cool too.
How does a fanbase coming together to vote for one character constitute as rigging when literally any other fanbase is as capable of doing the same?
If there's one person who's making bot accounts and voting again and again, then sure, the vote is "rigged." But is that what's happening? Hopefully the admin/mods here are able to detect such activity.

Re: Will Sony Censor Catherine: Full Body? Developer Can't Give a Definitive Answer
Funny how if the game was packed with headshots instead of pantie shots, we'd have nothing to worry about.
Re: Guide: All PS5 Games Confirmed or Rumoured
I'd be insanely hyped for a remaster of The Last Guardian.

Re: Game of the Month: The Best PS4 Games of October 2018
Very surprised Astro Bot didn't even make it into the top 4. Highest rated VR game yet.

Re: Poll: If PSN Name Changes Are Really Happening, Will You Change Yours?
My PSN username has been Acquiescence since 2009. I wouldn't change it if you paid me.
Okay, if you paid me £100, I'd change it.
Re: Media Molecule Doesn't Crunch, Reckons It's Too 90s
Good for them. Crunch culture shouldn't be tolerated in the game industry.
Re: Talking Point: Is Astro Bot the Mascot of the PS4 Era?
The fact that Astro isn't hideously ugly like Knack certainly helps in the mascot stakes.
Personally though, I've got to give it to Kat. I think she might be the best character attached to the PS brand this gen.

Re: Hands On: Yakuza: Kiwami 2 Could Be One of the Best Yakuza Games Yet
Well, the original was already a top-tier Yakuza game to begin with. What happens when you remake the original? Potentially something even better!
Re: Review: Flipping Death (PS4)
I enjoyed Stick it to the Man! a lot when it first came out. This looks like more of the same, so I'll pick it up at some point I imagine.

Re: Guide: New PS4 Games Releasing in August 2018
Sega are killing it in August. Shenmue Collection and Yakuza Kiwami 2 are must buys for me.
Re: Take a Peek into Kaz's Love Life with the Latest Yakuza: Kiwami 2 Trailer
I remember in the original Yakuza 2, the romantic sub-plot was extremely well executed.
And then they curb-stomped it at the very beginning of 3.
Re: Feature: Push Square's Ultimate PlayStation Character Has Been Decided
I made a thread on ResetEra, hope y'all don't mind.
Re: Push Square's Ultimate PlayStation Character Has Been Decided
Congrats to Nathan Drake. He's a pretty fantastic character all in all, so he's a deserved victor.
Kat or Trico would've been better for the top spot though.

Re: Poll: Ultimate PlayStation Character Tournament: Grand Final
It took a long time, but I finally get to see Aloy lose. That's revenge for Trico, Ratchet, Sully, Cloud and Kat, you freckle-faced wench!
Re: Poll: Ultimate PlayStation Character Tournament: Final 4 - Match 126
I won't lie, I'm super salty that there was only a 12 vote difference between Kat and Aloy in the end.
She was so close.
Re: Poll: Ultimate PlayStation Character Tournament: Final 4 - Match 125
Looks like Kat is out of this, due to bots.
