Yeah, it is "better" but still looks like a stinker.

@NapoleonDynamite It shouldn't have.

The Game Awards judges doing everything they can to avoid giving a Game of the Year award to a Japanese RPG not made by From Soft.

@AdamNovice Yeah honestly it's weird the backlash Horizon gets online. Obviously an echo chamber because the games are very successful.

Jessie J, now there's a name I've not heard in a long time.

@BamBamBaklava89 Yeah, you're not wrong. People were very vocally against Sony trying out some new multiplayer games before we saw any footage from them.

Yeah a lot of people had figured out it was almost certainly her eventually, hence the story of one fan giving her a copy to sign, but it's nice to finally have the official confirmation ahead of the remake.

... yeah this has been on the packaging for PS5 since launch.

@Anti-Matter It's a fantastic movie, but it's bombing in cinemas, very few people are going to see it. The trailers haven't been doing a good job of telling people why they should see it, focusing too much on the worst jokes in the movie at a time where people are getting tired of every film copying Marvel's humour.

Capcom seem to be the only ones that do this. Happened with RE1 too.

@gollumb82 @LavenderShroud Yeah, in the original versions it could let you explore Tartarus a little longer. Reload removed the fatigue system, so it's much less useful, but it can be used to give you a reminder of any upcoming activity deadlines.

Important lesson for Fatlus fans.

Not a great few weeks for the Transformers franchise with this being a miss, and the new movie flopping due to it's horrendous marketing which belies the film's actual quality.

@PuppetMaster I wouldn't put it past Bamco.

Ape Escape 2 will be rescued soon.

@Korgon Anniversary and Underworld are the only remaining ones. I'm hoping we get a Legend trilogy collection, with the Xbox 360 exclusive DLCs. And a non-PS2 emulated version of Legend would be nice too.

@knowles2 At the very least you should trust the pedo grooming part. It's certainly true from what I know.

@get2sammyb Cool! I liked the first three, so it felt a bit lame when I thought they were going to ditch that iteration of Lara after doing all that setup for her to become the Tomb Raider we know.

Very excited to see what they can do for Angel of Darkness.

@nessisonett It's pretty good. PS1 version might've been gimped but that's not a real concern for a remaster.

Maybe if they can rejig the art direction a bit to look like those animated shorts, alter the designs a bit too so character roles are more apparent (the healer looks nothing like a healer, etc.)

@nessisonett This and a bit of casual sinophobia for some people.

Surely you would be playing in Chinese and not Japanese if you're not going with the English dub?

It's like saying you play Metro in Polish because you don't like the English voice acting.

@SheerDisappointment just wonder why they changed their minds. Roblox obviously aren't fixing the problem.

So this is a continuation of the recent trilogy, and also a prelude to the next game being worked on? I assumed there was more of a reboot going on with that.

Revenge of the Sith and LEGO Complete Saga and Clone Wars when

Perfectly reasonable behaviour of course, nothing unhinged going on here.

On another note, this article says it was published 'Tomorrow 00:15' I just thought that was amusing. Quit the time travelling Sammy.

Gonna blast the papa tree song

Another bastion of physical magazines has gone... it's not over though. Shout out to RPM, looking forward to issue 4.

@Oram77 He's still being credited for the work he did on the original, just not as "A Hideo Kojima Game" because he's not involved with the remake. It would be a bit dishonest to call it one when it has a different person directing it.

@Savage_Joe Technically yes, but it has yet to be enabled. There's not been a lot of movement on the adoption of 8K TVs, and thus 8K content yet. If they ever do enable it for the original console, it'll probably only be for video content atp.

This would be the modern equivalent to GT4 having a 1080i mode on PS2.

@BellEvil @LiamCroft Actually great move. Wasn't expecting it.

I'm guessing that won't be applicable to the people who got the game through the Covid offer lol

They literally have DMC type combat in this one.

@SuperSilverback If it wasn't for Itsuno's departure, I would have said Reuben's social media activities wouldn't have an effect on his role as Dante, since they're apparently friends, and he's been well known as a consipracy kook for a very long time. With this being made by an outside team in a different timeline there's a creative excuse to recast. Situation is quite different now though, I wouldn't expect to see him back if DMC6 has Dante in it.

I wouldn't consider load screens between plazas a con personally. A good bit of the game is designed around the areas being seperated, events can initiate or not depending on if you're loaded in at particular times, and imagine the convicts being able to shoot at you while you're in Paradise Plaza.

@get2sammyb the "industry plant" allegations, which feel a little silly.

I think Horizon is a bit like the Avatar movies. People online love to dunk on them, but there's a very large, quiet audience for the series.

Publishers should do this more often with IP they aren't using, lend them out to third parties and indies. Sega's done it a bit, Square too iirc.

@B_Lindz He didn't say that.

@UltimateOtaku91 Sega Wipeout sounds incredible. F-Zero GX all over again.

Very interesting that Bandai are handling the publishing for this version, licenced from Sony. Can't complain though, game companies licensing their inactive IP to others is a great idea imo.

@ZeD The 30th anniversary technically starts in December, still some time.

Mister Mosquito and Sky Gunner are great picks for PS2 this month. Not to be slept on and certainly not bottom of the barrel. Hidden gems.

Plucky Squire looks like it'll be great as well.

@Macpac33 Would be nice. Depending on the dynamic res ceiling it should look alright even without one. Performance mode dropped as low as 720p for battles iirc.

@GamingFan4Lyf A lot of people, mainly console players can underestimate how demanding native 4K rendering can be for current games. You're just not going to get native 4K 60 at high settings for a lot of titles even on a top end rig as you say. A lack of first hand experience with DLSS type upscaling doesn't help either, you think of upscaling and the first thought isn't of virtually pristine image quality.

£700 is a TOUGH SELL, especially given I and many others only paid half that for our launch PS5s, but PSSR should be a quite solid value add - enough for the cost? Unlikely, but it's not to be overlooked I reckon.

@OldGamer999 Well for that it depends entirely on the game and what the devs want to do with the hardware budget. No different to any other console. All PS5 games could be native 4K 60fps if devs chose to.

@Xbox_Dashboard it'll quickly get bigger. I think support is mandated for titles being certified going forward.

$699 / £699

Oh come on man...

The Splatoon series is a good example of a live service that people don't think is one. Regular updates that add new content, Splatfests and Big Runs are time limited events, and 3 even has a battle pass system with the catalogues. It's a much better example than Astro's Playroom, though of course this is a Playstation site so I get it. People have a misconception that live service must mean microtransactions, etc. live service isn't defined by a particular type of monetisation, but by the evolving nature of the online platform of the game, it just so happens that most live services have to rely on mtx to sustain the model - Nintendo doesn't, they make enough money from everyone buying the game at full price.
