As others have said, GTA IV, Bully and Max Payne 3 remasters would be great⦠Iād also be down for remasters of the Manhunt games if they can untangle Mary Whitehouseās knickers.
Finally getting around to starting the Darksiders series today! Iāve had them in my backlog for bloody years and have always quite fancied them (particularly 2) but have always ended up shifting them back in the schedule for whatever nebulous reason that cropped up at the time.
Well that changes today, starting with Darksiders: Warmastered Edition Iām gonna check out this series full of heavy inspiration from other games that I love. Iāve heard this first one plays like a fusion of N64-era Zelda and old-school God of War. Sounds pretty cool.
Yeah I watched an extended gameplay trailer of this a couple of months ago⦠looks class. I rate Rebellion and reckon this could be their break-out hit into the mainstream.
@PeaceSalad I know what you mean⦠I remember the big blue guys were pretty tough and the final boss gave me problems too. Having said that, Iām pretty excited. Every time I return to an Uncharted game I have numerous moments of āOh⦠thatās where this memory comes from!ā. Iāve only played the first 3, so while Iām psyched to return to 2 and 3 for their platinums⦠Iām really looking forward to eventually getting to 4 (& Lost Legacy).
Back in 2023 I planned on playing an Uncharted game each year and really enjoyed the original at the time. I then put that plan on hiatus though, as I devoted pretty much the whole of 2024 to my PS3 backlog.
Well Iāve finally managed to circle-back and will be making a start on Uncharted 2. I have played it through a couple of times before (once on ps3 and once the ps4 remaster) but this time Iāll be hunting that plat.
@PorkChopExpress will do mate. From what I gather it works best if the ps5 is hardwired into the router⦠so I might have to do a bit of DIY (which I hate) as the missus wonāt want a wire running from my gaming room, down the stairs into the router. Iāll have to conceal it behind the walls, under the floor etc. really looking forward to that weekend š
Finally finished off the Suicide Squad platinum yesterday, which was my last hold-over from the previous year⦠so only a month and half late getting to this years schedule š .
Dead Island 2 is up first and really enjoying it so far. Looks great, satisfying combat and just dumb honest fun, which is all you need sometimes.
Although I always say never go full Ubisoft⦠I will be going full Ubisoft in this case and pre-ordering. I just feel that after buying all of their games for half price over the years and thoroughly enjoying the vast majority of them, with all of their trials and tribulations it feels like the right time to pay full price for a game I know Iāll get hours upon hours of enjoyment out of.
Buzzing! Mindsey3, Saros, Tides of Annihilation, Lost Soul Aside, Hell is Us⦠and frikkinā Days Gone: Remastered (no cap Days Gone is incredible and it will be my privilege to plat that again).
I just really hope itās a remake as in - like the Resident Evil 2 & 4 remakes. The gameplay of MGS3 has aged quite poorly when considered alongside MGS4 & V and it really needs more than simply a graphical-jhoosh.
Really happy about this actually, I only ever got to play the original back on PS2 and lost interest in gaming fora while not long after. Picked up the remaster of the original a couple of years ago and will definitely be picking this one up too.
@nessisonett makes sense tbh, given that Sony ****-the-bed on GaaS and MS are porting games from the last 20 years (not just what they have coming up for Xbox and PC).
Iāve had the original in the backlog for over 5 years and I just never feel motivated to start it. Everyone I know who has played it loves it⦠but thereās always something I fancy playing more for some reason.
Have very little expectations for any Sony Show for the next few years now that we have the full picture in regards to the whole Sony GaaS-pivot and how that worked out.
