I may be in the minority, but the Mafia series from the start should've never had an open world. They're so nothing burger, especially when they spend the majority of missions funnelling you into linear segments, with the Mafia remake being the biggest offender
Now that I think about it, Blackbird would be really cool if they really leaned into making it an immersive sim, given Far Cry as a series has been ImSim adjacent, especially 2. That would make replayability so much fun.
The most promising prospect of this Complete Edition would be Suda including the 2/3 of story that was cut from the original due to production issues, like Coyote being fully voiced. I'd love to see the full vision someday
For anyone wondering the framerate cap does get removed to go up to 120fps (if you have a VRR display go to the menus, use your TV/Monitor frame counter and it'll hover aroud 80fps), it just won't happen in-game because the game is taxing on current platforms. For that we have to wait till PS6
Genuinely not suprised they're doing the bare minimum. Can't expect much from Konami these days, and I honestly don't even think they'll bother with MGS4, or they'll treat it just like the recent RDR port
I feel like Devil May Cry 2 deserves another shot through a remake. Hopefully something reimagined, cuz even tho the execution is pretty bad, there are some solid concepts there.
I honestly can't blame them. As beloved as PlatinumGames games are, they have a history of not selling well. Nier Automata pretty much saved the company, and there was that weird phase where they were making licensed games for Activision
A co-op mode for Spider-Man 2 would be interesting to see, I have to admit. If that isn't the case, then it might be a standalone multiplayer thing they could be working
Between this and the generations quote, I dont think Jim is that fit for PR talk. I'm pretty certain in the future, a specific quote of his will be incendiary for some time I feel

If it's true then no Yuri is already a blow, but if Erin and Amanda aren't back for Chie and Yukiko respectively you can keep it Atlus
