After how quickly they shut down the Crash mobile game, I'm surprised they think they can try something like this again.

If Crash 4 was a PS3 era game, Rumble would have just been the built in multiplayer mode. In the current era, it comes to us 3 years late for half the price of a full game (with the expectation of paying more later). It's even built almost entirely off of Crash 4 assets, what took them so long to release this anyway with how long they were teasing it?

And no, don't do another Crash Bash either.
Your nostalgia be damned, it's only slightly better than Boom Bang.

Toys For Bob has spent years on this, and presumably not on Spyro 4, unless Beenox is on that joint this time.

@Foxhound That game sucked harder than this.

Can't stand Yong and it's sad that they brought back Kiryu's VA from the original for 7 just to immediately replace him with an eceleb. Didn't like Nyanners in Ishin either. Glad I don't use RGG dubs.

"News"
Nitroid probably had a vein burst seeing all the gaming journalists leap on his tweet.

Well, the thing is it isn't quite an adaptation, it's a spinoff. A separate story from the one told in the game, but set in the same world. So the comments about how they're going to adapt the game into a movie, or that it's "already a movie" aren't actually relevant.

@Uncharted2007 People have already made comparisons to the physics and they're virtually one to one with the Retro Engine. Sonic Mania's director even responded to a video comparing the two with a thumbs up.

Looks visually stunning. The physics seem to be solid based on the trailer but of course there's no way to tell without having hands on.

I wonder if it's at all possible to use the Retro Engine's physics system in a game that isn't 2D sprite based?

@Robocod That won't happen. Kojima was credited in the PS4 version of Z.O.E. 2.

Will probably be better than most of the reveals at the Doritos and Dew fest following it.

@KidRyan Portable Ops is more likely than you might think. PSP emulation is easy.

This makes sense to me, the development on it seemed to be suspect ever since it was split off from Part II in my opinion.

Will MGS have the VR missions expansion though.

@Tharsman Vol 2 including 4, Peace Walker, and yes, probably Portable Ops.

Metal Gear Solid Triangle: Snake Eater

Interesting that they removed the number, unlike Silent Hill 2.

This is a certified 2K moment.

So it's like MK9 again?

@GADG3Tx87 I agree. I can see the perspective of the original Xbox being a continuation of what the Dreamcast was offering, but that was a long time ago, and things started diverging massively once the 360 came out. In 2023, Xbox and Sega aren't really that connected other than Sega releasing their titles on the platform.

@Shad361 Not to mention the handheld entries from GBA to 3DS, which had a mostly consistent streak of being at least decent. Lost World and Shattered Crystal being the main exceptions.

@NinjaNicky
"They're not releasing new characters, they've just removed them from the game and giving them out in the future so you feel like you're getting something extra when you're not."

This doesn't exactly hold up to scrutiny when you consider how long the DLC tail can get.

Street Fighter 5's last character came nearly 6 years after launch, and it's roster went from 16 to 46.

I remember the Blitter Boy demo, and one other game called Down. They were probably on the same PSM UK demo disc. I don't have much experience with Yaroze other than that. Very cool idea for it's time though.

I mean even if they can't do 60fps, what about 40fps for 120hz displays?

Considering we had Quidditch World Cup on the PS2, I don't see the issue with having a standalone game for it, providing it's got enough content to support itself.

@ItsBritneyB_tch Stuff like that makes me prefer standalone expansions/mini sequels to DLC when they release so long after the base game. Burning Shores would have been a great side game like Miles Morales, and you wouldn't need to redownload the whole base game you've probably already platted just for some DLC.

@Rob_230 They're not able to extend the copyright any further I believe. Once 2024 rolls around, Steamboat Willie becomes copyright free. I think they can still extend the trademark which is a different matter.

@Keyblade-Dan I can see it. Knuckles and Wade have an adventure which brings them to London, they locate a chaos emerald or something in a museum only to find it stolen by a certain jewel thief. Antics ensue.

Donna Burke has done a lot of these cover songs over the last decade lol

@Rob_230 You've got some things to learn if you're thinking this a sports team type divide. Both Republicans and Democrats are slimy, there was just the story about a bipartisan group saying this exact same thing about Sony being "anti-competitive" because nobody in Japan cares about Xbox.

@danzoEX It's probably the talent they're after, IP second.

This is not a story I was expecting to see. That's crazy. Allegedly the attacker hasn't had this person as their boss since filing the complaints back in 2020. Who knows what happened to cause this decision 3 years after the fact? 3 years of seeing this apparent abuser still working for the company?

Then there's the part of the Gamer article mentioning a bomb threat by some kid because he lost connection in a game. Wild.

@ArashiKageTaro Yeah I think the script was a little weak in some areas like that with Leon and others feeling off from their game counterparts, but I liked what the director was going for. An old school Carpenter-esque take on Resident Evil.

They could have done with less CG and more practical effects too, if you're gonna make an old school horror film. Like that Cerberus looked like they just took the RE2 remake render when they could've just put some makeup on a dog or something.

@ArashiKageTaro At this point I'd be surprised if that movie still gets a sequel at all. I hope so because I didn't actually hate it, but it underperformed and there's been no real word on a sequel other than some actors saying they would like to come back. Apparently the first had a decent home video launch, but it's been almost two years and the director has other projects going now.

Regardless, I'm confident they wouldn't drop her if a new one does happen.

She has some very good taste in films.

From an implicit standpoint, I can totally see the perspective that the "boring, monotone" complaints stem for her not sounding flirtatious as in prior depictions of Ada, and how that has connotations to the "Dragon Lady" stereotype; I just don't how many people making those complaints even have that dynamic in their mind. Is it fair to say those people are guilty of racial fetishism?

Of course none of us have access to her DMs so it's entirely possible - and quite likely - that she's been sent personal messages that are quite racially charged, I don't doubt that. It seems silly to me, that there are some people out there that would throw hate towards an asian actress for portraying an asian character. Again, I'm not denying it's happened to her, it's just fascinating to think there's people actually like that. Spectacular levels of stupidity on their part. The sexism part goes without saying, we absolutely know how some people are with that.

@Keyblade-Dan An interesting point. I've not heard of any hate about Street Fighter 6 and Chun Li's voice. But the game isn't out yet so who knows if that'll change. I know there's been a beta, but I'm sure not everyone who will buy it has played those. I don't play much SF these days but it's also not as story heavy unless 6 changes this, so would a subpar voice performance matter as much?

@BeerIsAwesome A tragedy!

Will the Chupa Chups be returning? Their absence would LITERALLY ruin the game!

(Obviously not)

-Yukari's model is different from the Dancing games but actually of a higher quality
-Yukari's Persona hasn't had a high quality model before
-Animation looks pretty clean
-Music is new, what little we see of the UI too
-Followed by beta Sonic Frontiers footage showcasing the original merged version of Kronos, Rhea and Ouranos Islands, a cut enemy and different boss animations
-Footage ends with a glimpse of the rumoured Jet Set Radio game, high quality model work and matches a previously leaked screenshot from last year

The footage allegedly is from an internal Sega Japan meeting from 2021, so it being from the outsourced Chinese mobile game is possible but quite unlikely. This is either from a Persona 3 remake or perhaps something else - crossovers aren't exactly foreign to Persona.

@Leonhart That Sonic gameplay includes cut content.

@crimsontadpoles I'd argue the P3P port doesn't hurt the odds much at all, because the format of that game is different from the others with it's cut down VN presentation, and a remake would widen that gap. If they went through the extra effort to remaster FES it would be a different story. P3P port is a bit of a cheap effort overall compared to doing that.

Yeah we saw this in the PAX footage, looks great.

@darkswabber Does it though? People were saying the same thing about DMC5's mtx, then the game came out and it was the same as prior entries.

@Lorcan I remember that. I wonder if that version would have ever made it's way to console.

Would I pay £200 for a Wii U Gamepad? Maybe. If the latency is as low as the Wii U.

So I added Sackboy to my library, but now the Digital Deluxe Edition is locked out for me. It says I can't buy it because I already "own" it. I thought they changed PS Plus so that you could buy games even if you have them on Plus?

Added to my account. I'll probably just get the PS5 version with it already included, but it's nice to have.

This stuff has been in the works for a while, good to see the fruits starting to come to bear.

Imagine being a Resident Evil fan and being outraged by bad voice acting, to the point of harassment.

@Feena true they kind of pulled off a miracle there.

@ShogunRok Oh man I remember those rumours. Probably true, signs are all over those trailers. Like the dogs who barely featured, etc.

I still love 15 though, warts and all.

@NinjaNicky Vampire Survivors is a "proper" game

@ceedj 4 is underrated. It has it's flaws, given it was developed within THQ's death spiral, but it's a clear love letter to the series.

@GrimReaper sounds like extra fuss to me, which they said they don't feel like dealing with.

@NB-DanTE It isn't. That's why the article is titled as "Random". 😁

Ubisoft games already feel AI generated so I don't see much changing for the end product.

@Azex It was closer to 2 hours (6 including side ops), $30 and very much advertised as a prologue.

@Hydra_Spectre RoP is completely seperate. Amazon wants people to think it's connected, I'm sure though.
