@Matroska I forgot there was a front and back row. Yes, very few fights in the original that proved challenging. Just a handful of bosses really, most of which were optional. Will be interesting to see how people get on with the standard difficulty in the remake.
@Paranoimia I remember seeing news stories about zavvi being a nightmare. And game.co.uk as well. Best avoided I'm sure. Personally I had problems with shopto. They shipped multiple copies of the same game to both me and a friend on release day and blamed us even though it was clearly on them. Had to go via the bank to get it refunded in the end, shopto were awful.
Not many reliable sites out there with decent customer service strangely. You'd think there would be in 2019.
To be honest I preferred ps+ when we were given indie games. Batman AK came out 4 years ago. And the other game just isn't very good. Come on Sony, give us the occasional bonus game every couple of months. As @themcnoisy suggests, a nice mix would be good to see.
Don't forget Gearbox's CEO, Randy. Recently shared a video of animal abuse on his Twitter. The account he shared it from was quickly banned by Twitter.
As usual, no apology from him, he made it clear it was no mistake. Some awful people involved in this game.
Certainly odd behaviour, although people here using discriminatory slurs in response are worse. Maybe consider what the words you're using actually mean before you use them, spreading hate isn't and will never be cool.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy PSone port is definitely the best version that was made. But this one having 4 player split screen, a platinum trophy and online play are all rather nice additions. And for the price it's hard to say no.
@kyleforrester87 Easy to say if you have very reliable internet all year round but many don't have that luxury. Which means there are times they wouldn't be able to play an offline retro game they purchased. Just one of a few problems players would face. So a fuss yes, but not about nothing.
Almost bought this the other day but picked up Devil May Cry 5 instead. Hope to play it at some point, looks fun despite reviews suggesting it's not the best FPS out there.
There was actually a battle royale mode on Metal Gear Online on the PS3. I wonder if he knows that. The twist was everyone was equipped with a camo invisibility suit, was great fun. A shame they turned the servers off.
They ought to cave to all demands, I'm demanding an isometric pov as well as a 2D sidescroller mode. Failure to comply will result in mutterings under my breath and then buying the game anyway.
@AdamNovice Agreed, I'm happy to give them the benefit of the doubt that they know what best suits the game they're making. I think 1st person or 3rd person can be equally immersive, all down to the skill of the developer.
I think the huge amount of success it's had surprised everyone. But it is a very well made game. Great game play, only thing it lacks is a decent story but it's not a deal breaker.

Re: Klonoa and Mr. Driller Remasters are Coming Soon, Bandai Namco Trademarks Confirm
Nice one, would love a remaster / remake for Armored Core as well.
Re: Borderlands 3 Split-Screen Co-Op Is a Technical Disaster on PS4
Now you know why most sites weren't given review code before launch. They are a devious lot, nothing new there.

Re: Hoodie-ken! Zavvi Launch New Street Fighter Clothing Range
@Paranoimia
Always nice when they apologise.
I use base.com and amazon. No issues so far, although I don't order online very often.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Has a Classic Turn-Based Option for Purists, Sort Of
Sounds like it makes the game a lot more accessible, always a good thing.

Re: August 2019 NPD: Game Sales Sink to 20 Year Low as Control Misses Out
Bring on FF7 and Cyberpunk 2077.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Continues to Look Incredibly Promising in Hype New Trailer
Rumours are suggesting Mark Hamill is voicing Corneo, not seen a reliable source on that yet though.
Re: The Big in Japan Sale Jumps onto EU PlayStation Store Today
Valkyria Chronicles 4 going for £16.74. Tempting.
Re: Commodore 64 Classic Monty on the Run Recreated in Dreams on PS4
Fantastic, this looks brilliant. Will definitely have to check this one out.
You should consider doing a top 10 Dreams' creations article at some point.
Re: Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville to Be Officially Revealed Later Today
I miss the original 2D version.
Re: First Person RPG Cyberpunk 2077 Will Have First Person Cutscenes
Disgraceful, I and untold billions demand isometric cutscenes!
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for September 2019?
To be honest I preferred ps+ when we were given indie games. Batman AK came out 4 years ago. And the other game just isn't very good.
Come on Sony, give us the occasional bonus game every couple of months.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 285
@LobsterJohnson
New solo mode came with an update a few days ago. I think it's just temporary though.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 285
Been giving the solo mode on Apex Legends a whirl.
Re: No Man's Sky Beyond Patch Notes Are Truly Gigantic and Game-Changing
@lacerz
Nice, get those ginger biscuits ready I reckon!
Re: No Man's Sky Beyond Patch Notes Are Truly Gigantic and Game-Changing
@Dange
Thanks! That sounds great.
Re: No Man's Sky Beyond Patch Notes Are Truly Gigantic and Game-Changing
Anyone tried it in VR yet? Would like to see some impressions.
Re: Activision Looking into Possibly Making New Crash and Spyro Content, More Retro Remakes
More retro remakes sounds good. I don't know which ips Activision owns though. Hopefully other publishers consider this as well.
Re: Borderlands 3 Boycotted by Fans Following Take-Two Investigation into Leaks
Don't forget Gearbox's CEO, Randy. Recently shared a video of animal abuse on his Twitter. The account he shared it from was quickly banned by Twitter.
As usual, no apology from him, he made it clear it was no mistake. Some awful people involved in this game.
Re: National Treasure Nando's Partners with Media Molecule
I'd rather have a bowl of coco pops.
Re: Rocket League Is Ditching Paid, Randomised Loot Boxes
Better late than never I suppose.
Re: ANTHEM 1.3 PS4 Patch Finally Adds Cataclysm Event, But Nobody Seems to Care
Sounds boring. I remember when Bioware were a big deal.
Re: Random: Raging Zelda Fan Smashes PS4 Over Breath of the Wild 'Clone' Genshin Impact
Certainly odd behaviour, although people here using discriminatory slurs in response are worse. Maybe consider what the words you're using actually mean before you use them, spreading hate isn't and will never be cool.
Re: No Man's Sky's Beyond Update Launches 14th August Along with PSVR Support
@Sinton
It does sound like a very different game now, a re-review is a good shout I think.
Re: Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes Touches Down on PS4 from 17th October
@Knuckles-Fajita
Just all the good content.
Re: Wargroove - Pixel Art Turn-Based Tactics Finally Invade PS4
Sounds decent, one for a sale I think.
Re: Microsoft CEO: Cloud Partnership Is 'All Driven by Sony'
@Turismo4GT
That's great, thanks! Interesting to know.
Re: Microsoft CEO: Cloud Partnership Is 'All Driven by Sony'
Interesting although I'd like to see some clarification on exactly how Microsoft are benefiting from this partnership.

PSone port is definitely the best version that was made. But this one having 4 player split screen, a platinum trophy and online play are all rather nice additions. And for the price it's hard to say no.

Re: Classic DOOM PS4 Ports to Have BethesdaNet Login Requirement Removed
Good news, well done to those who complained.
Re: The Original DOOM Trilogy Is Now Available on PS4
I love classic Doom, this is very tempting. Each game has its own platinum trophy too as they should.
Re: RAGE 2 Grabs New Game Plus, Ultra Nightmare Difficulty, and a Few Welcome Changes
Almost bought this the other day but picked up Devil May Cry 5 instead. Hope to play it at some point, looks fun despite reviews suggesting it's not the best FPS out there.
Re: Round Up: Wolfenstein: Youngblood Reviews are a Little Hit and Miss
Don't forget to add one to the score for them having a Carpenter Brut soundtrack.
Re: Two Point Hospital Cures PS4 Later This Year
yes please, looking forward this one
Re: Death Stranding Director Takes Aim at Fortnite Fame
There was actually a battle royale mode on Metal Gear Online on the PS3. I wonder if he knows that.
The twist was everyone was equipped with a camo invisibility suit, was great fun. A shame they turned the servers off.
Re: Detective Thriller Blacksad: Under the Skin Delayed to November
Sounds sensible, most games only get reviewed on release after all. Best to squish as many as those bugs as they can.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Will Dance in the Dark without Lady Gaga
I'm indifferent to her participation either way but I find the amount of apparent hate in the comments here quite disturbing. What's that about?
Re: Hands On: Detective Drama Blacksad Will Get Under Your Skin
Nice write up, does sound very promising. Hope they do a good job with the fine tuning, clearly a lot of potential here.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Has Settings for Players Who Aren't Comfortable with First-Person Shooters
They ought to cave to all demands, I'm demanding an isometric pov as well as a 2D sidescroller mode.
Failure to comply will result in mutterings under my breath and then buying the game anyway.
Re: You Can Attack 'Most People' in Cyberpunk 2077, But Be Wary of Police and Gangs

Agreed, I'm happy to give them the benefit of the doubt that they know what best suits the game they're making. I think 1st person or 3rd person can be equally immersive, all down to the skill of the developer.
Re: The Witcher Netflix Show Reveals Geralt's Horse, Which Looks Just Like a Horse
Woooah! That's no horse, that's a chestnut Connemara pony!
Re: Yes, Cyberpunk 2077 Has a Reversible Cover for Male or Female V
Cool beans, hope it's more interesting than the first revealed cover.
Re: PS Vita's Not Quite Done Yet, Despite Reports to the Contrary
Surely it can't cost that much to keep it going? I hope it still has at least a few years left.
Re: Random: Embarrass Your Friends with These PlayStation Branded Shirts
The white one looks terrible.
Re: Square Enix Responds to Xbox Final Fantasy VII Remake Mix Up, Has 'No Plans' Beyond PS4
What a bizzare slip up.
Re: Valkyria Chronicles 4 Secures a Complete Edition on PS4, Base Game Gets a Permanent Price Drop
Tempting. I'd prefer a retail copy though.
Re: Woah! Crash Bandicoot Made in Dreams Is the Real Deal
Good spot, looks impressive.
Re: Ditching Handhelds Was the Key to Monster Hunter World's Massive Success
I think the huge amount of success it's had surprised everyone. But it is a very well made game. Great game play, only thing it lacks is a decent story but it's not a deal breaker.
