Tbh, in the beginning I was under the impression they would remake it and have all the TLOUP2 gameplay mechanics copied & implemented to Part 1 and give oldtimers a new gaming experience although already knowing the story (but with a few surprises along the way, like, something I was not expecting). Oh well ...
@TommyNL probably not the same people. Big ND fan myself & bought almost every ND game (since PSX) on launch but they are losing the "customers" plot (Sony included). I already owe the PS3/PS4 version & could get the base game for around €60 but it felt wrong (no more FOMO)
Not really surprising when seeing what people are willing to pay to scalpers smh. Sony gets away with a lot (they need more sponsors for their acquisitions). I love gaming but €80 for a game took the fun away (+ €10 upgrades) with PS. I used to buy a lot of €60 games but with their price hike it felt like they like to offend me as a customer. Even PS/PC games (Rollerdrome) can have a difference of €10. With crazy prices, like energy, people will be attracted to Game Pass even more. Was excited for the PSVR2 but that will probably have a crazy price too.
As an owner of the Akira Kurosawa collection I played this game with the JAP voices & it was a great experience! ENG wasn't badly done but preferred the JAP voices, it gives just something extra when playing the game. Movies is are the same way for me. Give people options ... but I'm a fan of the OG idea!
I used to be so excited for new sports games many decades ago. Like putting wind factors, weather implementation, futsal, ... instead they started to implement MTX ... and more MTX For me, it took the desire out of those games & learn the mechanics but nowadays I seldom play them. A shame really because they look cool & without the MTX (or other f*ckery), a lot of fun
Rockstar can make great sandbox games but I hope they learned a lot on how to put the perfect control scheme on it because I hope that GTAV had an overhaul buying i for the third time but the joke ws on me ;-(
To steep for me because owning 2 versions already but even though the game is worth it when never played before, not tweaking gameplay elements in a remake is not a good sign, if true oc. That said, a poll Spawn Wave made said only like 25% wanted to see gameplay tweaks & the rest was fine with just a visual upgrade.
Definitely a cash grab (for me) when the same game is made several times over & asking for a full AAA price tag. If you never experienced the game before maybe it's not. Bought the OG + remastered version (and a big ND fan) but the €80 is to steep for me
RE2 remake is better than RE3 remake but still very good imo. RE4 is still my fave RE so really looking forward what the Remake will look/play like. This PS5 upgrade is a win & it's FREE too (other genre, but the Wreckfest payable PS5 upgrade was a huge disappointment, especially concerning DS implementation).
They should include some tech stuff, like what gameplay mechanics we can expect in UE5 (like COD balance physics - reminded me of Uncharted). Devs should experiment more!
Oops, guess I’m the only one who thought TLOU Part 1 looked impressive, like TLOU Part 2 (including gameplay mechanics). I get that it’s the 3rd time this game launches & a full price will not persuade me to buy it again but I love to revisit it someday. The reason they did this is because they know it will sell like crazy when the TV show launches (first footage I saw was quite authentic to the game). I’m dying to know what ND new project is about!
@JamieO Took the recommend & went for it. Used to love this genre but didn't pay attention the last couple of years. Loved playing the older Raiden, Gradius, Ikaruga, Xevious, ... Last one I bought was Raiden V on NS, so I'm taking a chance because I like the inclusion of the OG Cotton (Cotton Reboot = €20 for me)
Have this on PS3 but don’t think of rebuying it. Also own Geometry Wars, Super stardust games + Resogun. Games to play between other games, like in short sessions. Not a fan of the Recharged collection, though.
Unsubscribed last year but not going to re sub. There is no value for me personally. Still have my OG PS3 (old games comp) hooked on the TV. GP will do it for us in matters of value tbh.
Don’t mind last gen games but as an PS5/XSX owner I would like to see some next-gen only gameplay mechanics. Experiences that feel new, even experimental so we can see some evolution in the gaming industry imo.
Played a lot of Tennis games since SNES (also play OG Pong) and Virtua Tennis & Top Spin are the best ones imo. Also liked Mario Tennis. Deepest are still the Top Spin series. This one is on the level (more or less - played demo) of AO Tennis.
Love the Virtua Tennis games (very arcade) but Top Spin is a lot more deeper. The first game rocked on the kinda new Xbox Live. Played this demo on Steam which is not bad but not spectacular either (graphics & gameplay).
But it would be lit if they brought a tennis game with all the legends, male & female! Still play VT on the PSP
@Apfelschteiner S series has RDNA2 features. I see a lot of parents with younger kids buying this console + game pass (best value). If you don’t have a 4K TV, you’re good. You don’t have to pay €80 for a new game either. I, myself, stick with the series X, PS5 & Switch (far away from next-gen but selling like cookies).
April fools day, but a late one. Camera animation in the main menu (& during music islands) + camera controls over the main menu islands, … this is so weird. Just 1 complete edition for an anniversary!
Loved the game and I hope to see new IP's but I wouldn't mind playing a sequel. Love the setting of games like this (would like to see a new Tenchu). Hope the Trek To Yomi will be decent too. On Netflix there is the Age of the Samurai: Battle For Japan (6 episodes - 45 min per ep.) I'm going to binge soon (I hope)
Just completed Hoa. Good art direction, soundtrack, but very short and sparse gameplay (6-7/10). Will do some more levels/completing in thes 3 --> Sackboy: A Big Adventure/The Pathless/Kena.
Enjoyed Guacamelee on the Vita so definitely going to try this on GP! 15 hours in length is not that bad imo.
Edit: @ Sil_Am GP is just a good value if you like to play/try different games. Most people don't get paid for using that service so what's the point? It's a positive experience.
After seeing the trailer I wanted to play this (seemed so relaxing). Tried it on GP for about 3-4 hours but the gameplay is too bland/generic/repetitive for my taste.
Playing a lot of racing games the last 2-3 years on different consoles:
Circuit Superstars (XSX) (not the most easy one but when it clicks, it's very enjoyable) FH5 (XSX) Grid Legends (XSX completed - visuals are more than okay imo) Wreckfest PS5 upgrade (PS5) Dirt 5 (XSX) Hotwheels Unleashed (XSX) Horizon Chase Turbo - Senna DLC (NS) Hotshot Racing (NS)
Forza Motorsport 7 (XSX) GT7 (a lot of nostalgia but with a controller not the best/most fun for me (except DrLic) (PS5) Project Cars 3 (XSX - a bit of a weird one but okay) F1 2021 (XSX) Rally Rush Origins (NS) Real Racing 3 (iPad) Art Of Rally (XSX - need to pick it back up)
Oh please, try it. At launch I played it not enough and when I revisited it, I was in awe of the DS + the PS memorabilia + creativity + details ARE great. Not every DS inclusion is worthy but in this game (and Sackboy imo) it is! Very polished imo!
Tbf, if you have an option to get the $10 upgrade, I can understand the customer's pov for taking it if they really (really) like the game (or never played it before) but for me personal, it has to stop somewhere. And I'm NGL, I expect a unparralled/top notch GTA (technical advanced/awesome story/ ... like a new standard for open world games). I still remember how groundbreaking GTA3 was I hope they can deliver!
People were expecting more because of the SOP badge. Sony should've released just the trailers during the week. SOP makes sense when they have to say something like releases & giving info on Spartacus or a full blown story trailer of a new hyped game. DLC for Returnal is cool & for a milisecond I thought GOT DLC was something too. But that game was Trek to Yomi, also inspired by Akira Kurosawa movies & expected to be on Xbox Game Pass upon release. Looks interesting!
@Singels + 100/100 reviews don't help either. I can be wrong here but didn't Deathloop have those 100/100 reviews and PS only people were not ok with that because MS bought them? I mean, this game was in development before they bought them .... The game is good overall. We shall see the same thing if GT7/Starfield or any other game with potential gets some 100/100 reviews, I'm sure of that!
Red Notice wasn't the best movie ever but I had fun watching it. As long as it's entertaining, right? (and not Uwe Bol bad) Not a big fan of Nathan Fillion but that Uncharted Live action thing, I liked it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5CZQpqF_74

Re: The Last of Us: Part I Compares Tess on PS5 vs. PS3 Model, and the Results Are Impressive

Re: Poll: What Do You Expect from Retro PlayStation Games on PS5, PS4?
