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.
Uh-huh, that'll be a first. Does no one remember the recent Overwatch 2 launch? Granted it was free to play, but D2R was a mess as well. I'll wait a month tbh.
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.
Yikes, that's a big disheartening. I thought this game looked right for me, but little did I know this is the game that only does everything. After learning about the developers past and all of these promises I've got to say this is sliding right out of my radar.
Fantastic game. I didn't play it until Ps Extra came out, but that was my first download and I was not disappointed. Using wind to guide you in the right direction is brilliant
I don't understand this switch era Zelda. I understand what people like about it, but to me it's felt like Legend of Zelda Nuts n Bolts. I don't play Zelda games for the physic puzzle shrines, I play them for the tight dungeons. That being said, I don't care what people like - have fun!
No offense to Game Freak, but I'm not convinced of their product given the games they've released sitting on their Pokemon laurels. Guess we'll wait and see
But Phil, the only reason I have bought playstation since it's first iteration is because of their great games. Oof, the Jedi are going to feel this one.
What other games will be featured in the upcoming showcase that have already been leaked numerous times to the point the surprise is gone? Show me first and second party games. It's been two years
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
The slow drip of PS5 exclusives outside of sequels has been very disappointing to me. It still doesn't feel necessary to own a PS5 at this point. I worry Sony might Xbox One themselves someday.
PlayStation needs to do a showcase soon. The fans are going to start getting rowdy and their expectations will outrun what Sony is actually working on.
Lol we hardly knew ye. I wish the times I rented the orange box that it actually worked 😂 I'm always surprised when the conversation of NFTs comes up that team fortress hats are not brought up enough.
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.
The sad thing is that despite PS5 dominating Xbox, Microsoft triumphs over Sony, and if Sony loses money on Call of Duty sales on their console it could impact the budgets that fund future projects.
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?
@FinneasGH In the accessibility options you can turn on zoom. You can zoom by holding the ps button and pressing square. I've had to do this while playing Graveyard keeper cause the text miniscule
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.
@Caveman49 I am shocked week after week that this exists and by it's level of quality. Huge fan of both games. It's fun watching this with my wife who has zero interest in video games.
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.
@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.
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

This is about the only feature they don't have planned for the game.
Re: Shocking: Hideo Kojima Not Involved in Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake
@Beerheadgamer82 Shinji was the director of Resident Evil 4. Goes with my point that he wasn't involved in the remake and that was fine.

Re: The Lord of the Rings: Gollum's Dismal Reception Prompts Apology from Daedalic
Polishing a turd more like. Games like this do more harm to the franchise than they're worth in my opinion.

Re: TV Show Review: The Last of Us (HBO) Episode 7 - Emotional Mall Trip Is a Stunner
@belmont They're still kids. Kids who haven't been able to have a childhood as we know it in the west. That's just my opinion though!
I do hope that they keep the David storyline in!

Re: Hidden Messages Found in Silent Hill: Townfall Trailer
@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
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.
