Re: Lord of the Rings Needs to Be the Biggest Game Franchise in the World, Says Embracer

Ludacritz

As a huge Tolkien fan, no.. Leave LotR alone. It's already taken so much abuse these last two years alone. The idea now that the powers at be want to tackle the "fourth age" my suggestion is DON'T. There is no fourth age, Tolkien and his son (the only two that really respected the source material) are dead. Leave LotR alone! Make something new, you're doing more damage than good.

Re: Shocking: Hideo Kojima Not Involved in Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake

Ludacritz

Shinji Mikami wasn't involved in RE4 remake, but that turned out great. Of course Capcom and Konami are very different companies currently, but l don't see a reason to stress over this. The games story is complete and is being replicated. All we need is to change camo/eat/cure on the fly and crouch walk.

Re: Expect Some Animated Adaptations of PS5, PS4's Biggest Franchises

Ludacritz

Been saying this for years. Do shows/movies in the style of the games in game cutscenes. Who cares if general audiences don't get it at first, if it's good and done well in time they will come around. I've had people tell me they can't watch the netflix Pinocchio because of the stop motion animation. You can't please everybody

Re: Site News: Love What We Do? Become a Push Square Supporter

Ludacritz

Price of just about everything going up in Canada. Happy to support one day, but right now the most I spend is $1 for Last Stand Media on patreon. I keep ads on and check on Push Square and VGC periodically throughout each day. When things stabilize and I have more disposable income I will be happy to support. You all are truly doing a bang up job.

Re: 17 New PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Revealed in Another Huge Update

Ludacritz

I can't wait for Metal Gear Solid 1 drops on ps premium. Maybe then Sony will see how many people care about Syphon Filter.

Also, I own Resident Evil 1 on PS3. Didn't have premium for a second, and noticed I was unable to play it on my PS5. I thought if you've previously bought a premium classic game you'd still have access to it without premium?

Re: TV Show Review: The Last of Us (HBO) Episode 8 - Streamlining Hollows Out Iconic Moments

Ludacritz

Only gripe I've had with the show so far is Joel not rushing in while Ellie is hacking away. The ending of this episode for all it's spectacle felt anti climatic for me. But, I keep reminding myself that this show was filmed during the strict Canadian COVID lockdown measures and they had to cut corners. C'est la vie. All in all, they're doing an excellent job, but you rarely is the original art outdone by adaptation.

Re: PS Plus Premium Likely Getting Star Wars Battlefront II from PSP

Ludacritz

Did the PS2 version used to be on the PSN store in the PS3 days? I had the digital psp version, so hopefully I get this version free. I agree with the common sentiment that Sony is pooping the bed with premium. We will see for December.

I've already switched my recurrent premium tier to extra, bummed I couldn't get the discount to buy more extra tier subs and was stuck with premium. I think if you're unhappy with premium you should do the same.

Re: Hidden Messages Found in Silent Hill: Townfall Trailer

Ludacritz

@spazuluwarrior
Silent Hill 1 & 3 are related
2 & 4 are their own stories. You can play 2 without needing to know anything about

I would say though that I myself am hesitant to buy because we haven't seen any gameplay. I would advise everyone lower their expectations. None of this is Silent Hills level quality and that was in 2015.

Re: Gallery: Silent Hill 2 Remake Shines in Official PS5 Screenshots

Ludacritz

I don't think people understand that combat was clunky in Silent Hill titles cause these are regular Joe's swinging pipes at monstrosities. I personally loved the combat and tank controls because I felt like they too added to the atmosphere of Silent Hill.

On topic of this remake, I think the James model looks odd and his hair is unusual. I'm open to liking this game but I will wait for gameplay. Dog ending or bust
