The first half until you beat Beneviento is awesome, the second half not so much, but still good. Couldn't understand why they went with 1st person perspective though, in parts it felt less like Resident Evil and more like Call of Duty with monsters.
Overall I still give it a 9 when I sum all the parts.

My ranking now goes:
1. Resident Evil 2
2. Resident Evil 3
3. Resident Evil Village
4. Resident Evil 7
5. Resident Evil 4 (pending remake)
6. Resident Evil Remake
7. Resident Evil 5 (pending remake)
8. Resident Evil 0
999. Resident Evil 6 (pending complete reboot)

I still don't get why so many people complain about the original black-and-white colors. They're perfect, match the console and look modern. No way I'm going back to all black controllers.

I enjoyed these games on PS3, but there is too much to play in my list before replaying ME. I can wait until the price drops a lot or they're included on Plus.

Nintendo's policy towards discounts is the reason why I have 5 games on Nintendo Switch compared to 90+ on PlayStation. I hope Sony doesn't follow this same approach.
I managed to get Miles Morales and Sackboy already, but still waiting for a sale on Demon's Souls...
Btw, other publishers are offering sales and better prices already. I got Immortals, THPS upgrade, and RE Village with good prices (fortunately Capcom didn't raise the price).

PS5 deserves all the success! It's an amazing piece of tech. I can say by personal experience that I've used a lot of BC between PS5 releases, good to notice others have been using it as well. Hopefully this will motivate Sony to keep all the games available in its platform from now on.

It does sound amazing, but given the description this could cost more than the PS5 itself...

Can't answer right now. Lady Dimitrescu is coming.

Excellent review, @LiamCroft! A couple questions for you:

1. Do we have enough bullets to face all the enemies or do we have to rely on the knife?
2. Is the story better tied to the series than RE7?

It's slowly rolling out features, but at least it's faster than the old version. If they need to take their time to implement all the features we expect keeping it running smoothly, fine by me!

Wow, I did not expect such a high score for this game! Awesome! The fact that it uses DualSense well makes me wanna try it. =)

Having a digital only PlayStation 5 probably helped with these figures.

Yes, yes, sure, PlayStation 5's SSD is amazing, but let's not forget the amazing GPU that tesselates and animates these dancing sprites and sunlit skies for you. =)

@2cents Those two features actually work well for me, but the console must be in rest mode. I was in my girlfriend's apartment and installed a game remotely this weekend actually.

Edit: One thing that happens sometimes is that a blackout shutdowns the console while I'm out, and since it doesn't go back to rest mode once the energy is back, remote download requests don't work.

Never played the series. Now I want this and the Remastered Collection as well... If I buy the edition that includes both True Colors and the remastered games, do I have access to the remaster right away?

Must be fun working with DLCs in Ubisoft. They often try new things in their DLCs.

Great ad! Kudos for Sony on PS5 tech, DualSense is a particular highlight.

I only wish that more games actually used PS5's cool features...

Nice recommendations! I totally understand the ranking, but I'd change the order a little.

The top 5 for me would be:
1. Resident Evil 2 Remake
2. Resident Evil 7
3. Resident Evil 3 Remake
4. Resident Evil 4
5. Resident Evil Remake

By the way, I loved RE3R! Its only issue for me was its short length, but I had a lot of fun with everything in it. Like some people commented before: it's often judged more for what it isn't than for what it is.

Nice! I guess there aren't that many PS3 players out there compared to PS4 and PS5, but kudos for Sony for allowing them to keep playing and purchasing games.

That said, I have no clue why Sony would shut it in the first place. They really should offer all of their games forever, build their legacy. And you know, they can iterate on PlayStation Store and keep offering all the products released so far.

Hey @LiamCroft, won't you folks post a hands-on article with the demos?

Playing through it now. It's fun, but looks more like a PS3 hack and slash than anything else. Nothing amazing, but fun enough to be enjoyable. Thankfully, I got it on sale.

Glad that's been settled. Square Enix is pretty much my second favorite studio/publisher, it would be a huge loss if they were bought by any company.

Great guide @LiamCroft!

Brilliant strategy from Capcom to generate hype. Sure, it's not simple, but it worked like a charm for Nintendo, and they actually did that with a full release.

I've seen a few interesting improvements in this update so far. Not sure if they were there before, but I hadn't noticed yet.

• We can see all the games that we follow in a list, and choose to unfollow them.
• Games can be hidden in the library.
• PS5 is no longer ignoring my attempts to boot it up if I put it in rest mode with any game open.

The graphics are still nice, the gameplay remains great... It's most likely a limited budget effort to ride on the release of the TV show.

Personally, if this is true, I'll wait until it comes with PS Plus.

I only missed ME3 back on PS3, the games had a really nice atmosphere. Looking forward to Push Square review. =)

I haven't played Days Gone yet, but I remember thinking it had an identity issue when it was revealed. Up to the color tones, it reminded me too much of Last of Us.

I can understand Sony's decision to prefer new IP over sequel. That said, they're clearly talented, and I hope they continue to work as a separate studio instead of merging with ND. As great as ND is, they have a well-defined style in their games and their release cycle takes a long time...

Pretty much every year I end up replaying Kingdom Hearts series. That's 5 different games actually. And then Mario and Pokémon are also series I always go back to another run.

It doesn't really stop at gaming, though. I read the Harry Potter books 5 or 6 times already. I watched My Neighbor Totoro quite a few times since it's a childhood favorite of mine.

I guess some people enjoy repeating what's special to them, while others prefer to always experience something new.

Didn't Japan Studio work with Bluepoint on the recent Demon's Souls remake? If you sum that with Astro Bot, there is really no need for restructuring, they are brilliant!

Also I got an email from Sony stating that Crash 4 is 35% off in Brazil. Not sure it this is global.

Hope it's all sorted out soon.

Well, that's the reality of every new gen, 1st year of ports and cross-gen releases originally targetting the previous gen.

Honestly though, bots must be buying and playing GTA V at this point...

I haven't used this in two years, I think. I was going to start purchasing films digitally back then, but PS Store didn't have any films from my country so I only rented a few international films instead. But you know, for that we already have Google's service which is way more complete.

This article made me remember the old days of renting DVDs for some reason. I miss the extras that came with the discs, always fun to take a peek into the backstage.

Much like anyone else, my concern is the reduced value of PlayStation as a platform in the long term.

That said, PC has an established business model of maintaining games available for purchase no matter how old they are, which works for me since PS4 has been my favorite console so far, and Sony is only starting with the "platform library" concept.

I also enjoy the fact that selling older exclusives to more gamers might enable a lower price tag in new releases or reduce the price faster.

Amazing, psychic friend @LiamCroft!

Next please write an article about slow vaccine distribution around the world! Who knows? 😂

A little off-topic, but I wish Sony would create some sort of web show to share game development news. Think behind the scenes sort of videos. They certainly can't drop huge gaming news every now and then, which is why we don't have frequent State of Plays, but talks and insights from development studios could be done in a timely fashion - and they would be quite fun to watch.

I'm fine with what we have, to be honest.

I mean, we know the games PlayStation Studios are working on, with a few coming this year. We just had the launch of PS5. Given the prices of new games, I didn't yet have the opportunity to purchase and play all the must have launch games. Resident Evil Village is right around the corner. And we all have a huge backlog of games to work with, not to mention the ones we want to replay (I'm looking at you, God of War).

Sony can take their time until the next State of Play IMO.

I really like PushSquare as it is most of the time, so this comment is actually about what I'd like you folks to stop doing: placeholder Q&A articles. They have no content, just questions without answers. I do understand the need for clicks, but only post this kind of article if you have at least one answer to provide...

Apart from this, excellent work!

Excellent! This will be my March game since I missed it on PS4.

Impressive numbers, but they're likely to decrease once more players get a PS5. Gotta say, though, PS+ is being quite strong this year!

Btw, Destruction All Stars will remain available for free until April 6th, so it's likely that it'll be a part of March's offerings as well.

What a perfect day! Tomorrow there is a local holiday in my city!

I won't deny it, I'm happy that Google's attempt of tearing down our hobby by owning yet another market is falling apart. Sad about the professionals working there, though. I hope other studios hire them soon!

I got mine at launch, thankfully! It's crazy that scalpers are getting all the available consoles out there - even crazier that it would be as easy as not buying from them to stop scalpers, but people do buy from them...

I don't think the situation is going to get better until 2022. Once we have enough industries to produce vaccines to the entire world in a timely manner, then finding PS5s in stock will be easier.

@ObserverGamez Not exactly the same, though. Capcom actually shared gameplay videos running on PlayStation and released a demo on PlayStation 5 that plays perfectly well.

CDPR lied all the way until release date. They knew that it played as awful as it did, but still did not share any gameplay videos for people to make an informed decision.

@jmac1686 It's not really about feeling like it.

RE2 is a direct sequel to 1, yet it evolved the formula and brought new things to the table. Another example in a different series - Kingdom Hearts 2 is pretty much a direct sequel to Kingdom Hearts, but again it adds a lot to the "play and feel".

Don't get me wrong, I know RE Village is going to be great and innovate in many areas, and I'll get it day 1.

Just saying that this demo would feel at home as a demo to RE7 due to its gameplay IMO.

Just the standard digital game for me, please, stranger.

Just played the demo. Felt a little too close to RE7 to be honest, which isn't bad at all, I was just expecting something new. The visuals and atmosphere are awesome as usual, Capcom's developers deserve awards for their work with RE Engine.

I understand you, Sammy. I'm in a somewhat parallel scenario where I see all these events unfolding but I can't buy all the games together, specially at full price.

Honestly, for me the real issue is not the amount of events, but the fact that they all happen near launch day and too close to each other. In a matter of weeks, games go from season 1 to season 3 or 4. Seriously? Publishers should give it time. Think Netflix series, one season a year, and lots of series to watch. We manage to enjoy lots of series because of this approach.

It's just going too fast for adults to keep up. And I believe that nowadays adults are a major part of PlayStation, Xbox and PC audience.

Astro's Playroom all the way, made me smile and have fun for as long as it lasted. Second and third place go to Miles Morales and Resident Evil 3.

I'll definitely play it, but later down the road, either when the PS5 version releases or it goes on sale, whatever comes first.

Seriously impressive stuff! PS4 remote play was awful in my home. PS5 is very decent, a few hiccups, but completely playable!

Edit: It was already decent, then I turned off the TV to try it around the house and it got even smoother. Nice work, Sony!

My December game will be Demon's Souls. I wasn't certain at first, but PS5's social features sold the game for me. I watched my friend play Demon's Souls in Picture-in-Picture mode, while playing Miles Morales; so looking forward to playing it with him now.
