@PuppetMaster couldn’t agree more. I’ve built a particular attachment to my favorite fighter ever because of that downside, and it’s why I have a harder time justifying purchasing FGs that I do not know anyone in my circles that can play regularly.
My choices were a really tough between (and I know this will sound like a joke) Braid and WWE 2k24. I went with the letter due to:
Familiarity with the series and medium it adapts
Rule of thumb to prioritize new releases over remasters/rereleases for utmost fairness
General good ol’ subjective preference; self explanatory
Detailed Explanation:
Point 1: Braid I’ve played the original on Xbox 360 way back when, so I cannot judge the remaster itself. But I was not particularly dissatisfied with the original so I could just replay that if the urge itches
Point 2: Cody Rhodes My man Cody worked his butt out for that title. This is almost entirely a respect vote just for him. Nightmares do come true! You go get ‘em, American Nightmare!
Point 3: Misc. Stuff All in all, 2K been firing on all cylinders ever since 2k23. While I can’t accurately predict that that quality would be maintained forever, even if 2k25 turns out to be the last good one they would at least round it up with nice solid trilogy. Hope Bron Breakker state that one.
Played Lost Odyssey recently. Definitely felt like one of his final (haha) passion projects.
I think there’s merit to letting certain stuff end and allowing new blood and new ideas to flourish. His approach is pretty awesome and I hope he enjoys a healthy life both as a gamer and as a grandparent.
Fair list. Despite having a soft spot for 1 and 3, I acknowledge that the best game spot is a tough call between 2 and 4. 2 takes the cake for me anytime though.
RE remakes and the like have conditioned to expect remakes to have completely different gameplay styles that it’s honestly both refreshing and very pleasing to see this stick to the original as much as it can.
Holy crap this looks stunning. I'm actually impressed. Some very Kojima like details in here
that actually reminded that this is technically the first mainline game (even if it’s a remake) without Kojima himself. I’m actually really curious how this will turn out.
When the original ps2 emulator came out, I played the heck out of this. I have a surprising amount of nostalgia for it cuz I played it when I was a college freshman which is close to being a decade ago now so I’m beginning to develop a ton of sentiment value for stuff I played back. I’m looking forward to this remaster.
This is like how the person in charge of directing the original RE despite not being able to handle horror was picked for the job because they thought someone who’s easily scared would know exactly the best way to scare others.
