@sjbsixpack Anyone who says otherwise is just mad they can't find a PS5, bc the upgrades are totally worth it. Its not something I can explain to people besides recommending them to experience it for themselves.
Something about these platformer remakes...I expect a 6 or 7, and while I do agree that they are fair scores for the most part, I still enjoy the heck out of these.
I like how you jump right back into your last save and there is no title screen similar to Returnal. I had to day 1 this game as Dead Space 2008 is one of favorites from that generation.
@Deoxyr1bose I can agree with this 100%. The standards and expectations are much higher. Especially when you compare this to PS5-only games like Demon's Souls, Returnal, and A Rift Apart that perform exceptionally well. This game reminds of those early PS3 games that were coming out in the beginning of the cycle. This probably would've got a 9/10 in 2006.
Survival Horror games are all about that 2nd or 3rd playthrough for me personally. Once that initial shock wears out, and you become OP and memorize certain things, it becomes a different kind of game mentally.
I haven't played this game yet, but based on my observations on gameplay and world building, it seems like its a flawed game that got a lot right. If they make a direct sequel, I predict it will be an improvement.
@knowles2 that Marvel liscence mustve been most of the cost tho. Really cant blame them for trying to recoup. They actually botched the biggest IP in the world.
Its almost laughable reading through comments and gamers questioning a corporation's financial forecast. I'm pretty sure they expected 5M units based on how much they spent developing this game. Sure, let's just make a $200B game and hope it ships 500,000 units. Consumers & spectators, please stay in your lane LMAO. Everyone wants high end graphics, but it comes at a cost and risk, and this happened to be a bust. Its no surprise why low risk indie games are on the rise.
Having alot of fun with this one. Very laid back platformer that's clearly influenced by Crash Bandicoot. Perfect game to play in between bigger titles.
I have some nostalgia for the Atari but alot of these games aren't for me in the present day. However, the presentation and documentary-like aspects alone are worth the recommendation for anyone who cares about the history behind ATARI, and the video games industry in general.
I don't play COD, but these are excellent choices. Ghostwire Tokyo had some of the best side quests this year. Some of them were literally laugh out loud funny to me.
I look forward to jumping back into this world. I want to do a no side quest playthrough. When I played this last, I got so lost in the side quests that I lost track of the story.
I was worried this game was going to be a "samey" sequel, but after 40 hrs in (playing in hardest difficulty), this definitely exceeded all expectations.
The cover is cool to me, and pretty much confirms Luke's central role in the game. Whining entitled gamers are the worst. Let's just put Ken & Ryu charging a fireball to make everyone happy.
@Uncharted2007 Speaking for myself, the nomination put the game on my radar. All is not lost. Nominations are a form of recognition when you realize how many games didn't make it to the stage.
@Northern_munkey Very condescending! Yet, you continue to prove my point over and over again. I don't know (or care) about where you stand with Last of Us Part 1. I personally skipped the game myself due to lack of interest, but the fact that you feel complaining about something you can simply skip is pure entitlement. There's gonna be lots of non-gamers checking for The Last of Us Part 1 after the show starts on HBO, and I understand that 1. its going to make SONY more money than a Bloodbourne remake, and 2. i'm not the audience for this game. You my friend, are an entitled gamer, and you should just embrace it. There's nothing wrong about it, and I won't look down on you bc of it.
This looks good for what it is & the FF7 fan in me can't skip this. I definitely want this on PS5, but I'm also interested in seeing how this game performs on the Switch.
@Hundred_Hand_Slap Dead Space has been dormant since 2013. The Last of Us has been rereleased twice since 2013. Familiarity breeds contempt. I do feel The Last of Us Part 1 has received a lot of unwarranted hate from entitled gamers though.

Re: Site News: Where's Our Forspoken PS5 Review?
I still want to play this game as I really enjoyed my time with the demo (flaws & all). I don't think i'll be dropping $70 on this.

Re: Insomniac Raises Pulses with Unprompted Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 GIF

It looks like after The Last of Us Pt. 2 & GOW: Ragnarok, SONY has been going for 2 or more arching stories. I'm digging it.

Re: Dead Space PS5 Looks Like a Remarkable Remake
