Announcement of an announcement of an announcement? Jokes aside, I’m really intrigued by this game. Will give it a shot when I make room in my backlog.
Being completely honest here, I never knew this even existed. My best friend who’s a gigantic silent hill nerd never once bothered to mention this game, which I suppose is very telling.
@PuppetMaster “is it good?” Sorta? It stood out because Johnathon Blow*** didn’t have much competition and he released it in the midst of game devs trying to stand out as being smart, whether deserved or otherwise. It’s not an incompetent game, but you won’t finish it feeling it like your life changed, in spite of Johnny Jon Johnnjohnn wishes you would.
@Czar_Khastik rumors have it that if you rearrange “LOTR gollum” you will see “GOTR” which reads “Game of the Rear” which means I have no idea what it means.
I’m ok with this. I liked the original on 360 back in the day and frankly view it more as a novelty or curiosity play by today’s standards. If nothing else, it’s a surprise to see a re-release at all. Otherwise I don’t think there’s much lost if someone doesn’t experience/re-experience the game. @nessisonett Loved reading this. And agree.
@Czar_Khastik no, re-read his comment. It said “better than death stranding”. It’s a code message. Clearly, this means the game will cure your depression and make not wanna be stranding for death.
Damn indeed. They’re quite knocking it out of the park. Can’t wait to place my pre-order.
I also strongly appreciate the usage of the anime’s score, as I always jealous that Japanese players got to enjoy those in the original versions of the BT games and it was a shock to my system when I accidentally emulated the JP iterations. It didn’t detract my enjoyment of the original scores of the overseas version, matter of fact I still love ‘em to death, but it made me think about a possible what-if scenario (pun intended cuz I hope there’s decent what-if scenarios in the story mode).
Last edit: dude that trailer was just OOZING with hype. Need to rewatch it with the JP audio too. Namek is my favorite so I feel accommodated. This will really knock it out of the park.
@Czar_Khastik that sounds stupidly dumb. Sony banning Caesar from enjoying his ps3 ;(
(Well at least he still got his ps1 store working)
@PuppetMaster what’s messed up is that BluePoint was not only bought out specifically to do remasters, but both it and Sony got so ambitious they decided it’d do remakes instead, thus leaving Sony with a huge void in terms of having a studio to do remasters. Silly, silly Sony.
And of course, we can never forget their ocean of ps2-onlies (that are still Sony owned, by the by) like Ape Escape 3, my favorite Sony platformer bar none.
Edit: as a side note, remasters exist for a reason. They can be a great tool to hold people off between major releases, fill a void Y’know? Everything has a purpose in the industry. Maybe Sony needs to learn that once they stop being complacent.
@ShogunRok apologies if you’ve already been informed of this but I felt this was really interesting to share as they’ve done interesting interviews after the event with a lot of cool details to share (the interviews are on famitsu, 4gamer and billibilli) Now if the translations on this post are accurate then, we’re getting cool stuff like:
Morale and Charge attack system from DW3-6 returning, plus “the best elements of those games will be combined without peons disrupting you attacks which left a lot of players frustrated”
the main character has amnesia and he’s an ROTK figure and won’t be a customizable character, you will switch to other officers but only temporarily. CC might be included if there’s enough demand.
Story won’t go post Wo Zhong plains (crying cuz I’m a Jin fan)
@HotGoomba I know it’s extremely silly to point a joke but since this is a topic I take seriously I feel obligated to mention (just in case) that my comment was a joke alluding to your use of the word “combat”. Otherwise I (thankfully) don’t have motion sickness. Have a good day. XD
@LikelySatan yes, no reason. Plus empires are too different. Empires you customize battles, select every specific officer and control each one, it’s not mindless and might be tricky to combine (but I still hope it won’t be overpriced)
@pharos_haven yes, I have a similar theory in mind. Only showing Guan Yu doesn’t bode well. Maybe the roster will be tiny.

@Czar_Khastik I would really prefer if you’d be quiet… but yes you are correct.

“Catchy (if slightly repetitive) music”
Would’ve been preferable if it was quiet.

@Czar_Khastik even if it runs poorly, you still have your ps1.

Re: EA Sports College Football 25's Level of Detail Only Possible Through the 'Power of AI', Says EA
Power of AI? Odd, none of the models look like eldritch horror creatures.
Re: Like a Dragon: Yakuza Show Won't Have Time for Karaoke, But Singing 'May Come Eventually'
@PuppetMaster personally, machine gun kiss and kamurocho love would be my choices. But bakamitai is rad.
Re: Another Wave of Concord PS5, PC Character Trailers Has Arrived
Suddenly, I feel hungry for Caesar after watching these.

Re: The PS5 Remaster Everyone Asked for Is Finally Happening
@Czar_Khastik I sympathize with your position in being unable to encode seriousness, that’s why I have your back, Sir Caesar Acoustic.

It’s legitimately really cool we’re seeing all kinds of games from Chinese devs, as this is quite the unexplored market with tons of potential.

@trev666 preach.
Re: Random: PS3 Last Seventh Generation Console Standing with Functional Storefront
@PuppetMaster to this day I’m still hurt by the infamous and R&C ones. They feel such a no-brainer pick to port. Not to mention, 3D dot heroes.

Can’t put into words how hard I smiled seeing the thumbnail. Kudos to the thumbnail maker.

@nomither6 what’s your thoughts on midnight club LA? If you’ve played it.
Re: Killzone: Liberation (PSP) - Top-Down Shooter's a Bit of a Slog
While it’s a mediocre game, I won’t deny that seeing any Killzone news in 2024 was a delight. A surprise to be sure.

Re: Long-Awaited PS5 Game Lost Soul Aside Grabs a Few Minutes of Gameplay as Fans Beg for a Launch Date
Looks cool, although I had to re-read the headline a few times to figure out why “Aside” was used there…. Until I realized it’s the game’s name. XD
