So we went from great FPSs (where Turok 2 is one of the best FPSs still to date), to some cutesy game that doesn’t look anything like Turok? This is not only severely disappointing, but something I would expect as an April Fools Joke. This looks horrendous.

@Porco Just to clarify, it is $30 for the whole collection, making these $10 each basically.

@Wazeddie22 Thanks for the kind words on the review! As much as Kamiya states he would love to remake the first DMC, I can’t see that happening since he’s now with Platinum Games and Capcom owns the rights to the IP. Either way, if you’ve shown interest in the franchise, now is a great time to experience them!

@Hengist Unfortnately I do not have a steering wheel to test the game out with. Wish I could be of more help with this aspect...

@Dodoo Definitely worth that price in my opinion!

@Hengist No worries at all. Glad you enjoyed the review!

@SonuvLiberty Yes, definitely a remake that flew under the radar that not many are aware of. Glad you enjoyed the review!

@fontainelefunk Sure thing! Glad you enjoyed the review!

@Hengist I do agree that digital versions of games should be a little cheaper than physical copies.

That being said, since you played the original version, you’ll most likely notice the differences between both versions (if you eventually nab this version).

@delukze Definitely give it a look if you’re interested! This one really surprised me honestly, and found myself having a lot of fun with it.

Personally I thought Dead Rising 2 was great. Dead Rising 1&3 I never got to really play since I don't own any Xbox consoles. However, it'd be a bit dumb to make it an MS exclusive at this point. There's a significantly larger install base on the PS4 than Xbox One, so their sales could possibly hit that mark being multiplat. While Street Fighter V was a PS4 console exclusive, and failed to move units (maybe if they actually completed the game before release), I feel like Dead Rising 4 would do quite well as a multiplat.

Personally (and I know many will be baffled by my stance), I was extremely disappointed and bored with Sony's Press Conference last E3. Yeah, they showed FF7 Remake, but it would've had more effect if it was officially a PS4 exclusive (not "timed exclusive"). Shenmue 3? Cool news, but the Kickstarter info made it very confusing. Dreams? Personally was a yawn-fest for me. COD Black Ops 3 being shown at a Sony conference? Meh. It's a series that has seriously lost its appeal. The Hitman teaser was cool, but would've been better if actual gameplay had been shown that day. The Last Guardian? I've been hearing about this game for years and I'll believe it when I see it released. I never could get into Ico or Shadow of the Colossus, so not quite sure this game would be my cup of tea either.

The only thing I left the conference excited about was Horizon (and Uncharted 4 of course, despite their technical difficulties). The other aspect that kept me less intrigued was that Shawn Layden is no Jack Tretton (not yet at least). Jack Tretton was a superb public speaker: calm, cool and collective. Hell, I went back and re-watched the E3 2009 conference (probably my favorite one, Portal 2 announcement was mindblowing) before I presented a game I made in college in front of the class, just to prep myself on how to present my project to everyone.

That being said, E3 2015 for me personally, was a clunker. I know many were stoked about what was shown, and that's great. For me though, there was little to get me excited about. I'm hoping for a better conference this year.

@sinalefa That's because it is entirely playable and not terrible.

It's legitimately a fun game. Could it have used a bit more development time? Of course. But what's here is still an entirely playable, and thoroughly enjoyable.

@vegeta11 It is a fun game for sure. Glad to hear you're enjoying it!

@WanderingBullet Ah ok, wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the compliment on the review!

@WanderingBullet Yeah it's a shame Amazon didn't offer pre-order bonuses. Although, I'll gladly take 20% off as a Prime member over the slapdash bonuses GameStop and PSN offered.

It's a solid game still, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it.

@Azikira Here's hoping. I mean, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 got a massive patch that fixed a majority of the game's issues, so one would hope Activision lets Platinum Games do the same with adding some enhancements to TMNT.

@Churchy Much appreciated! It's definitely an enjoyable game that I find myself still returning to every time I step away for a bit.

@PlaytendoGuy Definitely worth it at that price. Still no regrets for the full retail value I purchased it for, as I'll be replaying it quite a bit.

@Mako_Solider_X It's definitely a solid game, and I did enjoy it a good amount. As a die-hard TMNT fan, it was certainly the best installment since the first TMNT game on PS2 in 2003. There's definitely room for improvement though, given some extra development time.

Glad you found the review to be the most fair!

@Xaessya No unfortunately.

The weird thing is the developers stated they wanted to make the game run at 60fps, so they scrapped local multiplayer to achieve that. The problem is, they kept it running at 30fps despite omitting the local multiplayer, so I'm not sure what exactly happened during development. I feel like Activision rushed Platinum Games to push this out with the movie, but if given a little extra time, could've added local multiplayer and even have it run 60fps.

Pizza time! I'll be around to answer any questions people have about TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan, so feel free to ask

@get2sammyb The headline...I can't. XD

In all seriousness though, I'm excited to replay this and net the Platinum Trophy again. Put over 120 hours into this game, loved every minute of it. And compared to RE6, this game is a masterpiece compared to that travesty. Only a few more months until the true masterpiece, RE4, is re-released for the umpteenth time...and I'll gladly buy it for the umpteenth time.

@sub12 Nice! I actually just recently picked up a Dreamcast and nabbed those games as well. Glad to see I'm not alone playing some Dreamcast games this day in age.

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi This would be pretty sweet in VR, no question.

@Grawlog Glad you enjoyed the review! Yeah, the price tag is not very attractive, but certainly worth getting when the price drops a bit.

@SasukeTheRipper Yeah, it will be digital only for $29.99.

I had the opportunity to try this at NYCC back in October. This game was an absolute bloody mess. The gameplay was subpar at best, the animations were quite bad, and the fact that you can gone prone and crawl at the speed someone normally sprints just made no sense at all! It's not like they had rollerblades on their chest armor. Here's hoping a ton of work was put into it since that demo I played...

Without a doubt, my second most anticipated game of 2016 (Uncharted 4 being my absolute most anticipated naturally).

@VatoLoco47 Sure thing! Hope you enjoy the game!

@VatoLoco47 Ah the Crimson Head Zombies...luckily, they are not to be found here and were only in the REmake. Hope that helps!

@Churchy Thanks for the kind words on the review!

Yeah, the item dropping feature was definitely a catch-22, but it still worked well for the most part in all honesty. I actually really admire the fact that the development team took a big risk with that design choice back in the game's original release, as it changed the dynamic and strategy within the gameplay mechanics.

@sinalefa Leech Hunter mode is a mini-game where Rebecca and Billy must go around the entire Training Facility map finding all 100 leech items. There are Blue and Green Leeches to find, where Billy can only carry the Blue and Rebecca the Green. Naturally, there are a ton of enemies to encounter in the process, and to fully complete will take almost an hour. There's no saving, so you have to survive it and escape in one run. The more leeches you collect and escape by the end with, the better New Game+ reward you unlock. Collect them all and you unlock infinite ammo on all guns.

@JesWood13 There are several difficulty settings, but if you're new to the series, Easy mode makes the game very welcoming, while still having some challenge to it.

@get2sammyb Thanks, Sammy! Highly recommend it!

@GlynCR Agreed, it's still as amazing to revisit as it was to play back in 2002.

Words can't describe the excitement I have for this game! Loving the cel-shading art style and if it's anything like Transformers Devastation, with co-op in place, TMNT fans should hopefully be in for a treat.

@teknium_ As much as I love Bloodborne, I would personally be pretty stoked hearing of a sequel. However, only if Hidetaka Miyazaki is behind it fully (unlike Dark Souls 2, which he supervised, but wasn't in charge of since he was working on Bloodborne). That being said, I agree with @get2sammyb, it will most certainly get a sequel.

@MadAussieBloke Agreed. Bloodborne is by far my favorite game released on the PS4, hands-down. It's a masterpiece in game design and one that I can't seem to get enough of...even after getting the platinum trophy, all the DLC trophies and 76+ hours into it!

@Neolit The platforming sections with the Batmobile aren't the greatest, but the game is still a strong installment that's worth experiencing. When the GOTY edition comes out and you can nab it for cheap, definitely give it a try. And any frustration that may kick in from Batmobile platforming can be vented against thugs thanks to it's still gratifying combat.

I will say, after trying out the patch a solid amount, a ton of the issues I've experienced during the time it was reviewed has been fixed. Grinding works precisely as it should, the Slam mechanic (which I thought worked quite well) is now an option to activate by double-tapping grind instead of automatically happening when trying to grind, the framerate had been optimized much more to stay closer to the 60 FPS (especially on the horrific Astroid Belt level which now also works really well). Even the UI and online connectivity is vastly smoother. Oh, and the Ninja Turtles added as characters? Yes please! I will say that the patch update basically fixes a large amount of issues it had and is significantly better for it. Anyone who was on the fence about it should definitely give it a go now, even at the $25 price it's going for at Best Buy in the US.

@get2sammyb Oh I believe it! If I wasn't stoked for it already, the review definitely has me trying to rush through today just to play it tonight.

Excellent review, Sammy. I cannot wait to dive back into my personal 2015 GOTY and tackle the new horrors that await!

@Dodoo Yeah, they were part of Disney and while Pure sold quite well if I recall, their next game Split/Second sold poorly despite doing well critically. It released during the same time as Red Dead Redemption, which is what more consumers focused on (even though I personally enjoyed Split/Second tremendously more than RDR, so much so I platinumed it). Pure 2, or even Split/Second 2, would have looked insane on PS4, as Black Rock Studios did some stunning visuals for their games.

And thanks for appreciating my description of Pure. I'm a massive fan of SSX and when I played Pure, all I could think of was, "Wow, this is SSX Tricky with quads...and that's just plain amazing!"

@Dodoo Pure was a brilliant game that I used to acknowledge as the "SSX of quading". Unfortunately, we never got a sequel because Black Rock Studios shut down...which is one of the biggest shames of a development studio to shut down since that and Split/Second were phenomenal games.

@BigDaddyT0101 Off-road Fury was a ton of fun, especially messing around with friends. The best parts were driving off-course and out of the boundaries of the level to only be launched across the map!

@LieutenantFatman I will certainly not deny you those awkward rag-doll physics.

@Longaway Yeah, it's definitely a shame because I loved the PS2 entries myself. Tight gameplay and controls, great tracks, strong soundtracks...and it was severely disappointing to see how this fared out. I'm really hoping that Rainbow Studios looks carefully at what made its earlier games so noteworthy and makes a new one based off of what worked so well.

@get2sammyb Excellent review, Sammy. I agree that the series needs a serious revitalization. Ubisoft needs to analyze what made AC2 so special and build something fresh from that. I felt like every AC installment after that got duller and duller (except AC4: Black Flag, that was quite good).

I really wish they would just make a Feudal Japan AC game already!

Awesome news! Bring on more Driveclub content!
