Ha ha how delightfully odd on the similarish circumstances there @PhantomXIII

I should probably give FFVII another go at some point... Maybe with the lowered expectation I might end up giving it more of a fair shake.

The slap fight between Tifa and the female Shinra executive will still probably be a low point though and threaten to make my eyes roll out of my skull

Oh and definitely agree on Rose from LoD being pretty cool.

Though her Dragoon magic animations were a bit... dodgy to say the least 😂

I only played both FF VII about five (Maybe even six) years ago and Legend Of Dragoon maybe four years ago @PhantomXIII

No nostalgia for me in the slightest though I know I'm the exception there lol

Being hailed as the best Rpg ever I unfortunately didn't find FFVII lived up to twenty years or so worth of that praise at all.

LoD on the other hand I hadn't heard much about in comparison and I was pleasntly surprised about it.

Well according to VGchartz Twisted Metal (2012) sold 830,000 copies overall @playstation1995 & @PSfan4Life22

No idea what the budget was (don't forget marketing and all the other hidden costs too) but that's not particularly great. Especially as it sold most of the total numbers in america.

Besides don't forget there are plenty of well reviewed films (Like both Blade Runner films for example) that failed at market.

Push Square can give it an 8/10 and still say it was a failure as a sales flop

... There's seriously no way Bethesda is THIS dumb right? There's gotta be someone on the team who doesn't agree with this, only to be sent to get re-Bethes-ducated for such a silly notion as promises or goodwill!

If it ain't Demon's Souls then The Legend Of Dragoon!

We need a proper rpg in the first party lineup (Though I'd assume it'd at least be an action rpg if it got remade nowadays )

It certainly must be a little tough reviewing a game like Medievil

Do you judge it solely based on 2019 standards?

Though seeing as it's been told a million times over though it's a 1 for 1 remake and essentially just a remaster (Or what I'm dubbing a Remaster-make) do you judge it more on the 1990's sensibilities?

All in all It's a nice review Quintumply and what I expected more or less.

I can't wait to play it myself!

Congratulations Sony... You've now made me sort've intrigued about a Call Of Duty story. Thanks for that 😂

I wouldn't be asking to fix the game as it seems pretty much broken from the ground up! I'd be asking for a refund instead! 😂

I'd admittedly kinda forgot about this til that ps4 pro malarky (That turned out to be fine) article... Looks like I'll have to keep my eye on this!

Baaaah!!!

So much good stuff is coming out right now I'm spoilt for choice!

Well thank you very much @Panic_Attache!

I suupose that's what I get for trusting stupid ol' google that kept linking to the sold out standard version 😂

I would get all them now @Rob_230 but there's every chance I could dislike it over the course of 80 hours... I'll just get the first for now but cheers

Welllllll if I already didn't want to play the series after the previous reviews, the thoughts in the various threads in the forum and trying the demo for this one... Then I do now after this glowing review (and a few others for good measure) as it sounds delightful!

All I need is to find a physical copy of the first Cold Steel now for PS4 to sink my teeth in and start my adventure... which is proving hard to do as the silly thing has sold out everywhere in the UK 😂

I hope MediEvil gets higher then 35 to debut at least!

Also I figure Ring Fit Adventure at fifth makes us... decently imaginative even if it's a weird ring controller peripheral and some excercise game!

Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin for PS4

Making my way through the Huntsman's copse

Might play the Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy to cleanse my palate on all the rpg's I've been playing lately

-Edit- No! This spacecraft of a Dev kit is real?!

Thank goddess I'm not part of the writing team or a "Mini review" would probably a 1000+ word joint 😂

I like these though, short and sweet is what you want at times. Especially good for a quick read whilst walking round on playground duty!

All you need is a bit of better branding... Maybe mentioning it in the article title it's a mini review? Along with it's own section in the tabs and tags or whatever

Game sounds good. Haven't played one of these types of games since Theme Park World for PS1 that my daughter begged me to buy her... Might have to give this a look at some point!

I don't have a snarky quip or a flash of brilliance with some quick wit this time around.

Just thoroughly disapointed that people are STILL putting up with Bethesda's pathetic excuses and business practices

I probably won't get one til it's more the £200-300 or so range if it does come out at around £400-£500 anyway.

As others have said I've got plenty on PS4 to get and I'm in no rush

Not every game needs to be a graphical powerhouse, especially from a first time chinese developer (I think at least?) not to mention there's plenty of indie games that wouldn't look out of place on the snes

All the other quibbles in the review on the other hand make it something I don't think I'll ever wanna play really... Still nice to see it get some coverage!

I mean... I wouldn't say no?

She seems rather pleasant from the twitter posts above and loves working in the industry with a number of projects under her belt!

I hope not @ApostateMage

Much as I have liked the Metal Gear series (I assume you don't from your comment) if Death Stranding is bad I hope it (Or any game really) gets no preferential treatment in the reviewing process whatsoever!

Death Stranding has looked like it'll be a marmite kinda game from the very beginning. I still don't entirely know what I think about it!

If it COULD play physical discs from just the PS1, PS2 and PS4 then there's only one thing I'd have to say to Sony

Even though I agree with you wholeheartedly @FullbringIchigo and try to get everything I can physically

... I do appreciate @redd214 's optimism in like every thread i see him post in

Good grief where's the graphics police when you need them?!

That's a fun little trophy list... I'm a sucker for all the puns in the titles but there is a few challenges in there too

Shadows can die twice @Areus

Also technically Dan dies multiple times over Medievil with the life bottles bringing him back again & again & again...

Not much else to say Sammy, you covered it pretty darn well in the article 👍

Like my comment in the uk sales chart I unfortunately wasn't surprised Concrete Genie never even made the top 30 because I've seen no marketing for it whatsoever! It's an absolute pity

I only hope Sir Dan isn't trudged out to die next too... I don't think Sony's best skelly boy can be resurrected another time if the remake does poorly!

Why Konami? Who hurt you?

Nah... Dark Souls is better even with the rushed as heck areas

I find Dark Souls 3 better too. Maybe even the second & Demon's souls or at least they're on par with it.

The scaled back number of weapons, useless magical items & no magic at all make it very hard to revisit and feel fresh (Or at least fresher) with there not really being any build variety at all

Trick weapons are a good feature though and I loved the Victorian setting The lovecraftian horror was a neat surprise too

Didn't realise it was a twin pack, thought they'd be seperate purchases.

Have to wait for a price drop before I take a gamble on it but sounds good!

Considering I've not seen any promotion for Concrete Genie I can't say I'm not surprised in the slightest!

Nah just a few weeks after release they'll stealth drop a bunch of microtransactions like every other Activision title

goose? Goose?! GOOOOOSSSEEEEE?!?!?!

Also some very impressive work there on recreating the Shadow Moses Docks

Looking cool Joker!

... Still not really interested in P5:Royal but that theme is quite nice

Just finishing off the story in Jade Cocoon 2 on PS2

I'll also be getting through No Man's wharf in Dark Souls 2:SotFS on PS4

Inbetween a BUNCH of lesson planning for work next week and some homework marking

Oooooh... Now we're talking! A whole lot nicer then the standard box art!

... I wouldn't even wish that on my worst enemies... That poor kid having to model that costume! 😂

Yeah I don't want any AI in my house... You can keep Alexa and her creepy cousins in the bin thanks

That's some nice artwork

And those messages are all nice too. Genuinely curious but does the xbox studios or even Nintendo teams do nice little messages like this to one another?

And Skies of Arcadia doesn't have a limited fanbase at all @tato ?

Demon's souls sold 2 million copies on PS3 alone and Bloodborne on PS4 has sold higher at 3 going on 4 million or so. If that's a small fanbase then I don't know what is.

Not to mention Bluepoint are rather chummy with Sony and If I'm remembering an article I read correctly the developers for Skies have no desire to even do a slight graphics bump remaster of that game... soooo... There's a better chance of hell freezing over unfortunately

I'd love a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 but you seem to confuse Konami with a company that gives a damn about anything other then it's fitness clubs anymore @DarthAmmii .

Plus as I said above to tato, Bluepoint seem incredibly chummy with Sony so unless Sony has miraculously bought the Metal Gear Solid rights I wouldn't get your hopes up!

Demon's Souls Remake

Demon's Souls 2

Legend Of Dragoon Remake

Any one of 'em would be lovely

And now I can sleep peacefully once again...

Lovely stuff... Can't wait!

Urgh that stupid jester riddle though

I'd return it if I was given it for free 😂

And I still haven't got round to getting a copy

... The weirdness continues and I'm all for it!

I'm glad you enjoyed the experience @Rudy_Manchego and I wasn't trying to knock people that did have a good time with it.

The fact it has so little player input it seems more like it'd be better suited as an arthousey 30 minute animation or something... the fact it is a "game" seems to have very little bearing on the whole

Y'know most times I usally see why a game gets praise or scolded by reviewers. Even if I don't personally agree with the review I respect the opinion...

I don't wanna sound like a neanderthal but I don't get the praise for this title though... At all.

It's from what I've seen a two hour platformer that's barely a game with some decent visuals and it's hailed as some kind of modern classic? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills 😂

This game was a ghost for absolute AGES.

That there's 12 hours of story with there apparently being 30 hours overall (And most of it is probably just gonna be get this hero to lvl 20, beat thugs x amount of times or get upgrade materials or whatever "Game As A Service" twaddle they roll out) and they want this to be the next best thing since sliced bread?

That's gonna end well...

Dark Souls II: Scholar Of The First Sin on PS4. Restarted it thanks to the save glitching and the timer jumped from 3 hours to 959:59. Didn't need to but it was very annoying.

Luckily I got back to where I was within an hour and a half. Fighting The Pursuer soon!

And for PS2 It's Jade Cocoon 2 once again... Been neglecting it a little but I'm nearing the end anyways!

Ms Marvel has Mr Fantastic powers? That's news to me...

And is embiggen a perfectly cromulent word?
