@NintendoFan4Lyf To be honest, they're the type of developer someone could snap up, or at least make an exclusivity deal with.
Haha, the comment about recognising your bias did make me chuckle, but I say all the power to you. If the Ninty Plat games are your favourite, then that's awesome.
I never dug into Bayonetta too much but what I did play was really good. However my favourite Plat game has to be Vanquish.
Either way they're a great studio and I hope they keep making games.
I'm a little worried about Platinum Games. It wasn't too long ago that they were making a lot of different titles for different systems and now it seems that things are getting cancelled or changing around during the development cycle. I hope it's for the best but I've got a suspicion that Platinum could be in trouble.
Dude! I am so into this. It would be great to have a full retelling and exploration with today's technology. Though the older games did explore the main storyline it was a truncated version with little exploration. I'd love a full-on on version where you can fly around and be in the world of DBZ. Bring it on!
I felt a great disturbance in the force, as if millions of games developers cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. Something terrible has happened.
The more I hear about Sekiro the more I want it. I'm glad that From Software are changing things up and it sounds like sec I was going to be quite a focused game which I'm all for! Bring it on!
I managed to strike a balance between enjoying it and finishing it. I wanted to see as much as possible. But I say play it how you want to play it.
@Rob_230 The demo was essentially the demo from last year's E3 and if I recall correctly Capcom reps said they took lickers out of the demo purposefully.
I'm kind of intrigued due it being Chinese as developers from China aren't exactly well known. I'd be up for giving it a play just for curiosity's sake.
I've found that in some ways it's easier and in some ways it's harder. I'm not complaining though as I love this remaster.
It's easier in terms of player information. This time around you're actually shown which levels the coloured gems are in, and you only need to do a level without dying for the coloured gems, rather than every single one in the original. Bonus levels can be retried as much as you like now. Also, there are hints for the secret areas and the placement of the camera is slightly different to encourage finding them.
However, Crash's jumping physics is different. He's a lot less floaty and I think you spend less time in the air when jumping. As a result it does make some of the platforming a bit more tricky. Especially the bridge levels!
But all in all it's still great and a good challenge.
I think it's pretty cool and a good fit for Sonic. It doesn't quite have the edge and attitude of Crush 40 but it's a good enough theme tune. Also, I like the drum fills in it.
It was a good show. Not their best but certainly not a bad conference. It didn't have the pizzazz of the last two but there were some good announcements. It was great to see more of Detroit especially.
I'd make a bet that the HD re-release will be revealed at E3 though.
As for the visual style, it's going to be made in a different engine and it doesn't have the same budget the first two games had, when you factor in inflation. I'm just glad it's being made and will just keep in mind it's still going to be modest by larger industry standards. But I'm going to enjoy the hell out of it!
He's right. It doesn't matter. Rockstar are one of few studios who can release a game with this kind of profile at any time and make a killing off of it.
Overall, I think 2016 might've been their best conference but those megatons in 2015 were incredible. That Final Fantasy VII trailer still gives me tingles, as does the Shenmue III video. Those two moments were perfect to me. Also, GameTrailers's reaction to it was a great part of it too.
I want to learn more about this. So far, there hasn't been much on this title and I can't really get excited for it until we have more. Hopefully we'll get more on it and get more of an idea about what it's aiming for in terms of overall design and gameplay.
@dkxcalibur Yes. But from what I've played of the Beta on PC the currency system is a bit more fair than other games. At the moment you can earn currency for things like winning rounds in a match or winning, winning a certain amount in one day or ranking up. When you do buy a keg, you get a choice between three rarer cards. Also, you can mill cards you don't want to make scrap so you can create new ones without using real life currency.
Also, they'll be including a single player campaign. Whether that'll be free or not I don't know, but CD Projekt Red are very good to players. From what I saw of it of Gamescom last year it looked impressive.
This reminds me slightly of the olden days where we'd get a single screenshot on a game and speculate upon it. This time we're not even sure it's for the game we want it to be! Bring on the secrecy!
One of the best Resident Evil games for me. And I'll defend those turret controls to the hills. I think it was smart for the remaster of the remake to include another control scheme, and whilst that would've been nice for this I think the turret controls work well for a game that has this kind of camera system, and it can actually aid the tension of the game.
What would be super cool would be if instead of the game reading a CD-R and making a level based on it, it read a music file, or a group of them, instead.
Yes! Yes! Yes! One of my favourite Resident Evil games. I imagine it'll just be PS2 remaster but it'll be great to play it on PS4. Still remember when I got it on the Dreamcast back in the day.
@DerMeister @roe I did wonder if they would change it, but then I realised that would f*ck up most of the level design in earlier games, and also the challenge too.
Although, a wumpa fruit bazooka in number one would be kickass.
My new favourite marketing phrase: "reality-based lighting".
I'm hyped for this for sure. What I found interesting is that he mentioned the slide move specifically for Crash 2, so I'm guessing it'll still have the specific move-sets for each game. I did wonder how they'd go about it.

Also, a friendly wager. After you complete both Leon and Claire's campaign, you get Jill's campaign and Resident Evil 3 remake as well.
