I'm a huge fan of Silent Hill 1-3, so I was very skeptical (ever since the dawn of the rumors) of bloober team doing the SH2 Remake. But, they absolutely nailed it. And I resent when people say "Well, bloober had the blueprint." Sure, but, they took breadcrumbs and made it a full course meal. The atmosphere and the sound design were an unbelievable achievement. If you're not playing this game with 3D audio you're doing yourself a major disservice. Last thing I'll say is that the "daddy" boss fight is probably the scariest moment in a game I've had since Amnesia: The Dark Descent. I had to play SH2 Remake in 1-2 bursts because it left me feeling dirty. (And I've played the original so many times that I've become totally desensitized from it)
@NeonTiger Nothing lasts forever. While Miyazaki is still making games, I'm excited to get an Elden ring roguelite with the possibility of facing any souls boss with an Elden ring randomized build. The part of me that enjoys the mechanics of from soft games, this sounds awesome.
It's obvious why they would, but I think turning off comments is never a good move as now it just emboldens the haters. What's a huge bummer is knowing that I'll basically have to turn off the internet leading up to it's release as to avoid having the entire game spoiled. Don't feed the trolls.
@Matroska To be fair, a lot of people did say that when Uncharted 1 came out. The series wasn't generally well received until the sequel. A lot of people said generic dude raider/ Indiana jones rip off.
Big fan, I think this sounds great. If it's $40-50 and included EVERY souls boss then I will camp outside of GameStop for a month to buy this. Roguelite co op souls battle royale sounds dope as hell, and I never play battle royale.
Honestly I thought the trailer was pretentious and boring until I saw the naughty dog logo, and then I thought scrap all that, this is going to be excellent. I can't wait. Naughty Dog is pretentious, but they are EXCELLENT.
If it's anywhere near as quality as Silent Hill 2 remake it is going to be incredible. These are great games. I have such a soft spot for 2. The atmosphere is awesome
@Banjo- Concord did have a physical copy. I would imagine that if there were approx. 25,000 digital copies sold and iirc approx. 80% of all playstation games are sold digitally, then maybe Concord sold at most 30,000 to 40,000 copies.
I don't think I've ever seen this level of universal apathy towards a AAA first party game ever. 25,000 copies sold. And what's stranger is that you'd expect to hear that there was a political movement rallying against the game in massive numbers, but no. Almost nobody cared about Concord.
I don't really care. I thought the story of Spider-Man 2 was very lackluster. Kraven the Hunter was done dirty, Venom was too. The gameplay is superb, but the story was pretty bland compared to most other Spider-Man iterations. Finish Wolverine
I found Rocket Racing very janky and not comparable to how smooth Rocker League handles. It's not worth downloading Fortnite for. Fortnite Lego was also very janky.
Woohoo!!!!! I loved Alien: Isolation, but the ending went on way too long. I hope they refine the sequel by cutting out the filler and making as long as a Resident Evil.
I don't have any interest in Star Wars after The Last Jedi. That movie killed Star Wars, in my opinion. All these years later I'm not curious about how Star Wars is doing, especially when you keep an ear out for what the fan base has been saying about it.
I'll miss Jin, and I was very excited to see where his story would go being hunted by the Shogun. And yet, I am so pumped for this game. I don't think Atsu is a samurai as much as she is ronin. Playing as a ronin is going to be dope as hell. Bring on the hot springs
@ZeD "Hey, I know you've used green portals to escape the book about 40 times already, but look over there! Could that be one of those green portals to escape the book? Wow, Jot. Look at that portal. Do you think you can use that portal over there? You should try using that portal over there, Jot.
And then Jot used the green portal. Wow, great job Jot! You did it, Jot!"
I noped out about 3 hours in, couldn't take it anymore.
This game is clearly meant for very young children. The game loves wrestling controls away from the player to over explain every little thing. It is very much a "tell, not show" type game. For instance you pick up an item and have to sit there scrolling through 10+ word bubbles about how you picked up the item. Not digging this so far. Giving it another hour before I drop it.
@twitchtvpat You sound confused. You're debating my opinion that these should never have been funded to begin with and Sony should've kept prioritizing their strengths. In my opinion
@twitchtvpat I'm saying they've funded more failures this gen then putting those funds towards what they excel at. This generation has had half a dozen PS5 first party games. And I mean PS5 only games.
"Trust us. I know we greenlighted 12+ live service games, and although we've cancelled most of them - THIS one will be good." Sony funded these instead of funding more single player games.
Why do they keep sandbagging their own game? From everything I've heard Blooper say about their remake since it's announcement it doesn't make them sound confident in their product.
