Still looking good, though will inevitably want reviews and/or complete version. Still 100% expecting Bruce to be the talon, presumably brainwashed when investigating the court of owls
Surprised it wasn't Ms (working with CD for perfect dark, the whole tomb raider exclusive thing from rise) or Sony now they're lagging but Embracer is a good fit for getting the old ip's remade and bought to current times. Also that's an absolute bargain, eclipsing even the insomniac get.
@Husker I'd settle for a sequel to be fair. But I really liked the first game in particular, and I want to 4k taser combust a dude on a roof, and explode Anton Girdeux with a well aimed pistol to the gas canister.
Fantastic game. But a few shortcomings such as repeated enemy design, lacklustre boss battles (especially in comparison to the series' earlier fights, Poseidon) and mostly boring puzzles make it not quite outstanding tier.
I hope this is sleeping dogs level brutality. 15 rating. Guns, knives, smashed bottles, suplex through phone boxes, lead pipes to the skull, electric whips, the works. It won't be but I can dream.
As with everything that they are doing this "generation" i disagree/dislike what they are doing. But I'm not the target audience and I'm not in charge of a billion dollar company so wtf do i know.
Liked them both to be fair, 1st was better though. Littlun loved it though so that's all that matters. Knuckles started well and then ended up doing his best Thor impression by the end. But enjoyable couple of hours spent.
Most of the ps4 remakes were fantastic to be fair. ff7, crash, spyro, ctr (minus the WORST NET CODE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED), tony hawks, re2 (didn't play 3, heard it wasn't as good)..
HeartGold/SoulSilver still remains the absolute pinnacle of remakes though.
So many games just crying out for a remake from yesteryear though.
@KundaliniRising333 Pretty sure by this point in every other gen of consoles, there has been several must play next gen stuff. This time round, nada. Don't get me started on the ps plus games collection being locked out for ps4 owners either. Spidey and Wolverine are about it tbh. I can't speak for what features the ps5 is missing due to not owning one, but i've seen the lack of vrr mentioned a few times. Seems strange it'd be advertised only to not be bothered with too much.
@KundaliniRising333 I have never been less interested in a generation as this one. So far there is absolutely nothing on either side, except MAYBE Ratchet, that is a must play. I'm also soured on the whole cross gen stuff, HZD, GOW etc should have been absolute must buys and absolute showcases for the ps5, but nope, held back. To be fair, everything I have seen about this gen, from the announcement, to the design, to the scalping, to everything else has just been a swing and a miss. I say that as an original ps4 only owner.
Quite the quandry, the first was my game of the generation. It was amazing. I really want this. But I don't want/have a ps5 at the moment, and I don't want to play it on my old phatboy ps4 as it would a) kill it b) not be at its best so why bother. I'm also still salty about it being cross play in the first place and not being an absolute showcase for the ps5.
Not even that bad, tiny bit of blood and a pale face, how horrible 😱 Hell, resident evil 2 remake had a police mans lower jaw ripping off showing more than this and that was a 15. Dead space had the eye scene, the outlast dlc with the scientist, there has been much worse. Also push square censors comments from naughty words but is freely showing 18+ video content in the articles so there's that 😂
First one was great for what it was (only being beaten by the original walking dead). Hopefully this one will be, but certainly wont be paying full price for it. Reminds me I meant to track down the fables graphic novels.
Got next to no interest in anything they are releasing at the moment (other than seeing graphically what they pull out), but I really hope they and every other company drop the ps4 development of everything at this point, it's ridiculous. I say that as an original ps4 owner and almost no interest in the ps5 at this point.
@LiamCroft Is there more than like 5 zombies this time round? I loved the first one, but the fact you were fighting the same zombie over and over kind of ruined the immersion. Still, about what I'd have expected from this, more of the same.
Wouldn't be surprised if ms are in the process of buying crystal dynamics (assuming they haven't just slipped the extra few $ for the entirety of squeenix) due to them helping with perfect dark.
@Nyne11Tyme Which surely means more profits for the publishers as they own the ips. and they were still money printing machines for Sony (spidey especially, that bundle sold so many ps4s). Bungie really only own 1 property from what I can tell. Don't get me wrong it obviously makes £, but can't see that much value in the company myself. All I'm saying is Insomniac are amazing devs and deserved much more than the paltry sum they were paid when deals like this go through. Bloody love insomniac. Favourite devs I think.
@KilloWertz Yeah, but Insomniac had huge games under their belts (Ratchet series being the biggest I'd imagine, before they did Spidey which catapulted the ps4 sales through the roof) and they were bought for what, $250m? that's peanuts. That's the change Sony would find down the settee. And they not only get a load of games out the door, but they do it quickly and deliver polished products. I get destiny etc are quite big names, but not $4b names. FPS really isn't my genre, but there's no bias on my side, I just can't see how the studio is worth that much.
Honestly from a consumer point of view (not a blind loyalty point of view) this is a good thing. It allows the consumer to be informed, and when parents are buying little timmy the ps5 so that he can play all the new cod games but they don't come their way and little timmy gets upset, the parents are going to be resentful of the fact they weren't provided with information and avoid spending money in said shop. I'd certainly appreciate the heads up.
I will never understand the absolute circle jerk that from games get, but this is obviously something people are buzzing to play so hopefully it meets all your lofty expectations.
Still say LL is much better than 4. 4 was the only 1 I didn't replay or try plat. I'm surprised they didn't port the original trilogy over (to pc at least) before this. Maybe they will do a massive collection of all games (including vita) as a package one day 🤷♂️
Out of the few I have played, in no particular order: Uncharted Golden Abyss, Murasaki Baby, Soul Sacrifice, Kick & Fennick, Rayman Origins. Playing through P4G but I'm not very far AT ALL so can't really comment on that.
@gollumb82 Don't get me wrong, the stuff I have enjoyed on vr has been fantastic and (especially in the case of astro bot) is literally on another level to playing "pancake". But just be willing to accept there's limitations to the tech at the moment. Hope you enjoy your ps5 vr experiences! dziękuję 👍

If any game (series) is crying out for a proper full fledged remake, it's this.
Re: Poll: As God of War Turns Four, What Would You Rate It Today?

Re: Poll: Do Remakes of Old Games Get You Excited?
@Flaming_Kaiser Hear there was lots cut, and the zombies don't even have dismemberment for some reason. Also I hate Nemesis' nose.
But original re3 was my favourite out of the resi series, so will probably get to it at some point.

Re: Reaction: PS Plus, PS Now's Makeover a Necessary and Positive Step for Sony
Worth a mention that ps+ is now 2 games not 3. The value of that service by itself since its inception has absolutely nosedived through the floor.
That said, sticking ps now with it was a good decision.
Also, imo, they should have done a lower tier for less than ps+ for just online / cloud saves and made extra /premium the same one.

SURELY they're not worth anywhere near that. I can't believe Insomniac didn't even break HALF a MILLION and these are in the multiple billions.
