Jeanne D'Arc was awesome! I definitely am going to revisit that one. That scene with the fire was truly heartwrenching and the twist was rather clever.
I played it on PS3 when they remastered it the first time and thought it was fine. It had elements of Jak & Daxter and Sly Cooper but I didn't feel it was as good as either. I never understood what the hype was about and certainly don't understand the clamor for a sequel that's been in development hell for as long as it's been. Might pick it up on sale if that sequel ever gets a release window.
I'm just glad they fixed the texture for the walls with netting that you can climb (TR2 Lara's home is the first place you see them). In the HD mode, the background and foreground were swapped and it looked really jarring.
@trev666 Sony had some new policy on PS5 where collections can't have more than 1 plat (Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection) but the fact this has no plat whatsoever is baffling.
Uncharted LoTC did have a platinum trophy tho. it was just 1 plat for both games. I don't see why there can't be a plat for all 3 TR games. That plat would be tough as nails tho!
@Savage_Joe woke means being aware of systematic oppression and discrimination. I guess sticking your head in the sand and ignoring that is preferable?
@Athrum I'd say the current Steam/mobile versions are the worst, at least for 5&6. They redid the sprites and most agree they look terrible. As long as the menus are redone so that it tells you what items do, I'll be happy. That was one QOL improvement the various ports added.
I'm assuming Square's strategy is to saturate the PC/mobile sales first, then port them to other consoles so people will double dip. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if that were true.
It’s not that a remake wouldn’t be great, it’s that it’s unnecessary. It’s too soon to remake something that still to this day looks amazing. The controls may be a bit dated by today’s standards, but we really don’t need this at all.
Price doesn’t matter to me. It’s the fact that I have to choose between graphical quality and enhances features and music when from a technical perspective, we should be able to have both.
@GhostOfTheLore imagine thinking that LGBT characters simply existing is some kind of agenda. When will it be ok for them to be in games without accusations like this? Probably never from the sound of it.
@Orange_Man_Bad if you compare every game to the Witcher 3, you will always be disappointed. It was a stroke of genius and I don’t even think cyberpunk 2077 will hold a candle to it.
Wow this is the worst possible news. I don’t even want it anymore. Downgraded graphics? full price? Good lord I hope SE gets a ton of backlash and delays it to at least bring it up to par with the original PS4 version.
@Kidfunkadelic83 as much as I hate Activision, the companies they have had do their remakes (Crash and Spyro) have done amazing jobs. I think this will end up being be pretty good.
@MS7000 It definitely won’t stop EA and Activision. Maybe Ubisoft would ease off but if it means MT-less single player games will still live in I’m cool with that.
@FredBiletnikoff Yeah I realized that after I posted the comment and went to try to find it on the Eshop. I guess that explains why I didn’t hear about it coming out! Crazy that that older 3DS game cracked the charts. I actually forgot they made Bravely Second. I skipped it back when it came out because my friend told me it sucked.
Thank you for reminding me that Bravely Default End Layer came out. I’ve been so hooked on my PS4 this last few months I totally forgot that was out already.
I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed that game. It sorta felt like a low budget The Last of Us (But still very high quality for an indie team) and the story was really interesting and impactful.
I don’t see how her comments would affect this game in the slightest if she has no involvement. Complete non-issue. If she wants to say dumb ***** on Twitter, by all means go ahead. But I still want to see what this game is.
@gollumb82 the way Dina looks at Ellie is just so beautiful and pure. The facial animation is crazy good, even in regular gameplay you can pause it and Ellie’s face will look more detailed than most games do in cutscenes.

Re: Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake (PS5) - A Timeless RPG, and a Gorgeous Nostalgia Trip

@Vovander Russians are people too. Just enjoy the damn video game. Real world politics don’t have any effect on the quality of the game.

@Savage_Joe that has nothing to do with being woke and everything with just being a jerk.
