Odd how some people don't understand that remakes can alter things from the original. That's why they're remakes and not remasters. So yes this game does have things to spoil.

A remake of the Lego Harry Potter games in the Skywalker Saga format would work considerably well actually. It would probably be better than Skywalker Saga, I was a bit disappointed how much of that game was just walking through little hub areas and talking to NPCs with not a lot of traditional levels, but a game centered primarily around that one central location of Hogwarts, with detours to other settings for each film would work with that gameplay format.

Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit would be another candidate I can see working excellently and with WB going all in on Middle Earth again it's probably being considered too. It could be our way to finally get that third Hobbit flick in a Lego game after they blew that opportunity the first go around.

@UnusedBabyWipes You won with this comment.

I think there's a fan project also called Budokai Tenkaichi 4. They'll probably need to change that.

Exciting news though.

Now's the time for that Type 0 sequel.

@AdamNovice This is pretty much my view as well.

I'm not fighting in a war, or planning to do so, and as such I am nobody's "ally" I'm afraid.

As for the game, idk. I was a casual Potter fan as a kid, but I don't really care enough about it right now. Maybe when it's half off or something.

@Cloud39472 Yep. The scapegoating is so boring.

One of the better SNL sketches in recent years. Not a high bar admittedly, but this was pretty decent.

This definitely won't be blown out of proportion online.

Tomb Raider needs to go back to the original direction. Badass treasure hunter. It won't though, not with Amazon, and not with Crystal Dynamics and how ashamed they are of the franchise's origins.

Great news. The audio was shocking.

Kishimoto has been a class act when it comes to responding to fans and even taking some of their suggestions into consideration. He's outright said he's experimenting with ideas for the next game with the free DLC and might even implement momentum mechanics into the game.

Funny how many people in the fanbase was hating on him after Forces, but he seems to actually be quite passionate and wants the series to be the best it can be, but struggled with executive meddling.

Getting closer to all of the Persona music on Spotify. We still need the anime stuff, the first Arena, P1 and the arrangement albums.

Honestly criminal we have Persona 4 Reincarnation, but no 3 yet.

@ShogunRok I think it's the weakest of the 3, both in terms of soundtrack and actual game, but the songs are still good.

I was expecting this. It's still on my radar though, I like what I played of it in spite of some cringe dialogue, and I enjoyed FF15 more than most I think, so who knows.

Still not about buying games for £70 so obviously this was always going to be a sale pickup too.

@WallyWest Yeah exactly, loved Ultimate Spider-Man on PS2 which had Queens.

They should fix the badly compressed audio, which is somehow worse than the PSP version, but they probably won't. Same for the backgrounds which were just ran through waifu 2x upscaling.

I'll definitely have to get on this whenever it's next on sale if it's getting delisted in September then.

So it's like what Ultimax was to P4A?

Bought both of them, but erm... on the Switch.

According to some people here, Bob Kane and Bill Finger don't deserve to be credited in any of the recent Batman films.

@LN78 That's a good point.

Not the first time a demo has been patched. Also don't see a problem with it, since it can only help to be more representative of the final game it's promoting.

Will be curious to see how the general public reacts to Seasons 2 and 3 - since Neil said he'd split Part II into two seasons.

I want the original Rising to return. The cancelled version.

I'm hoping the Discord functionality includes the ability to stream to it, much like Twitch. I would like to broadcast my gameplay to some of the servers I'm in.

These restrictions wouldn't be so bad if they had a window, but I don't think the developers ever push updates to remove them after a certain period.

I still can't take screenshots of the final chapter in FF7 Remake for example. I understand Square preventing that when it launched, but we're about 3 years on now.

@grapetrap The concept of accusing production companies of paying for good reviews predates this culture war sh*t by a wide margin.

@ShogunRok could do with a few more bugfixes too. Sort out CTR's online while they're at it... who am I kidding...

@NEStalgia @Rob3008 Their current project is Crash Rumble, so no.

I don't know, I thought the demo was alright. Would I pay £70 for it? Well, Rift Apart is the only time I've paid that much for a game, so no. But once it's like 30% off I'll consider it.

It's Top Gun for car guys. Right down to the romance.

@SerJosh97 Series S is just as next gen as the X and PS5.

@mariomaster96 @ShogunRok I would love the XIII trilogy. It's due for a second look, especially after the great DF retrospective. For the first game there isn't even much work needed to bring it up visually. XIII-2 and Lightning Returns could do with some extra touch ups though since they compromised on visuals in favour of decreased linearity.

@Uncharted2007 It can't be delayed to 2024 when it was always coming in 2024. They said it was releasing "next Winter" and next Winter begins on December 21st 2023. "Next Winter" is basically a coy way of saying "Early 2024".

@somnambulance You won't be getting two main FFs in 2023, I'm afraid.

Decent month.

@Quintumply Also it being on Essential makes it playable even after it leaves the Extra catalogue.

At a glance I thought this article was about Hogwarts Legacy.

When it comes to key art design, person standing at the edge of a cliff facing towards a horizon really is to to open world games what angry person holding a gun facing the camera is to shooters.

@TheKramer89 That's still in the conceptual phase after 10 years, and if Jordan is still attached as director, he's also working on a Gundam movie.

@AdamNovice I think the rate of announcements is a bit unprecedented, which may be why, but I agree with you. As long as they're at least decent I see no issue, and recent adaptations of games have been pretty solid compared to what they used to be.

"introduce new characters and elements within the series’ unique universe"

So it's not really an adaptation at all, but a new story set within the world. Will probably be canon too.

Same showrunner as The Wheel of Time. Low expectations.

It's worth pointing out that by comparison, Sonic Mania sold 1 million copies after 8 months.

The last time we got sales numbers for a 3D Sonic was Lost World and Boom, both of which sold less than a million after 6 months (including 3DS numbers, which really shouldn't count since they're different games). They didn't bother telling us how much Forces sold; I imagine it did a lot better than those two, but they probably wanted to focus more on Mania's success more.

@RenanKJ They didn't drop the price of Sackboy, don't expect anything.

Bill Clinton was the true winner

Shout out to reformed Orthodox Rabbi Bill Clinton I guess.

@admeister Probably played by Elle Fanning too

I think this is a good sign for Syndicate.

@DarthAmmii I remember it too.

@Korgon Right. Phil could be honest about his intent to keep CoD multiplatform, but a concern for is whoever succeeds him. They may see no reason to renew the deal, who knows what the industry will look like in 2033?

@K1LLEGAL Easy to forget the Switch is 6 years old in a few months, and with 2023 skipping a new CoD game, it'll be 7 going on 8 years in fall 2024. Obviously by this point there'd be a successor either on the market already, or very imminently.

@LordAinsley No, it was the same for the sequels as well. Different dubs for UK and US.

Safe to say the Switch got the bulk of those sales, likely followed by Steam in second place.
