@UltimateOtaku91 60FPS has always been a thing. I remember back on the N64 for F Zero X where they made the choice to sacrifice graphical fidelity for the smoother crisper frame rate. 60FPS has been a thing for gamers for decades now.

Digital Eclipse is one of the only developers I buy from Day One. The love and care they put into their releases, alongside the genuine game preservation and museum context make them standout developer.

Good on the developer. In a global marketplace sometimes you have to import things to circumnavigate local censorship laws. A shame for the Japanese gamers there, but these ridiculous laws exist everywhere, from Japan to Australia to Germany video game censorship is still sadly far too high.

Absolutely love the Nioh series. Must play games the pair of them. I personally prefer them to Soulsbourne. The camera is a lot better in the Nioh games, and the load times are significantly shorter (at least comparatively on PS4). Both of which make for an equally punishing but much more enjoyable playing experience.

Cash grab at its finest. Just include the characters and missions in the normal game. I know all companies do it these days, but it sucks every time.

@LiamCroft Many Thanks 👍

@LiamCroft does this game have the same Realistic difficulty mode that Modern Warfare 2019 did? Essentially the same as Veteran but with the HUD essentially removed.

That subheader had me cracking up 😂

They could charge £300 and the die hard fans would still pay the price. These will sell well simply because it's "Sony"

The review could be better. Seems this review is trying hard to be as funny as the game is.
3/10 is so low it makes me want to play it. I consider the first Tales of the Borderlands to probably be Telltale's best Story based game so this should be up my alley. I mean, at least it's a new story (however bad it may be) and I'd rather have a crappy sequel than a remake/remaster of the original Tales of the Borderlands in all fairness.

I didn't imagine Resident Evil 4 would get a remake, so I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they do churn out a remake of Resident Evil 5 next...

I played Marathon after getting into Halo and playing Bungie's back catalogue (Oni is still officially awesome, one of my fav early PS2 titles)
Marathon had such a cool vibe to it. A revival would be very interesting. Consider my curiosity well and truly piqued.

Silent Hill F. What is it? F knows.... 🤣

@Voltan Stories Untold and Observation are both PS4 available. The team was created from the team that made Alien Isolation.
They definitely have horror talent as their backbone.

Can't wait for this. Stories Untold's first chapter is one of the most chilling gaming moments in memory. Observation was fantastic from start to finish, the future of Silent Hill is in very good hands.

@UltimateOtaku91 I don't notice any Xbox fans here either kicking up a fuss. Just people who seem to enjoy instigating console wars in the first place

@UltimateOtaku91 @Would_you_kindly I mean it's a 12 month exclusive, not full console exclusive. It just seems like a waste of money. It was a waste with Xbox hoarding Scorn for 12ish months and it's a waste here. Hardcore fans will play on PS5 and PC. Xbox only users just wait a year...I don't see any upside to these pointless deals. (I include MS and Scorn in my point to show fairness)

Possibly the best action game of last gen. The best combat the series has ever seen, endlessly replayable. An absolute masterpiece. I wish this game received the endless attention that God of War 2018 gets.

Insomniac. Possibly the best developer of video games out there. The fact they're so productive with every game being such a high quality is insane.
Cannot wait for this one.
Side note, I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't PS5 only after all based upon the recent comments of not leaving PS4 behind by Mr Ryan, but I'm sure this game will be amazing regardless.

It's funny the day after this site had to debunk the quite ridiculous Sony delayed showcase rumours, people here have their tin hats on again for this game since Obsidian is now owned by Microsoft. Can't you give it a rest, a good game is getting a PS5 version. It must be very tiring viewing the world through console fanboy lenses.

It's truly a sorry state of affairs when Nintendo of all companies seem to offer a better "top tier" service than Sony. The Switch Online Expansion was rightfully ridiculed, but at least it was a one off small yearly payment, so the drip feeding of classic games softens the sting.
Sony should bite the bullet, stop charging monthly for Premium (and I can't believe I'm saying this about an online service) and copy Nintendo by making Premium a one off £30ish payment. Then the poor showing of games has a lesser effect as the wallet doesn't take as much of a hit.
Or you know, they could do what they advertised they were going to do and release lots of classic games. One or the other

Last of Us Part 1 Remastered here we come... 🙂

Dreams is an absolute masterpiece. However since it's not a copy/paste cinematic third person action adventure game I expect no PS5 patch to appear nor Media Molecule get the marketing clout they deserve for making such a phenomenal game.

I'm beginning to wonder if rather than going to school, my 5 year old nephew is actually in charge of running Sony.

Sony should just bundle PS Premium into PS Extra. Have one simple bonus tier and generate a lot of goodwill.

At least this heading lives up to its title. Unlike Sum 41's debut album which was some Killer and mostly Filler 😅

I'd argue it's not just hardcore Playstation Fans that have an issue, but the more vested gamers in general.
EA dead space remake has been rightly called out for launching at £70, but I can't help but feel Last of Us Part 1 PS5 and it's sales have played a part in that.
If Sony remaster all their recent games, charge £70 for them and they sell well, that behaviour will spread to others (and it already is to some degree).
I feel that Sony today is only interested in people with high disposable income who are willing to pay for the same experience over and over because "it's that game from the TV I've been watching"

I must be misreading my calendar. It's not April 1st today is it?!??

The sad news is, this isn't the last PS4-PS5 remaster you'll see. I expect God of War 2018 will get the same treatment, I wouldn't even be surprised if Shadow of the Colossus is released once again as well.
Sony under Jim Ryan are sadly creatively moribund.
If we want actual, real change then games like Last of Us Part 1 can't sell as well as they do. Ryan is a businessman before a gamer, and he's always going to chase the money. Only by the money going away is he going to change course.

Courtesy of Last of Us Part 1's success, coming your way for the once in a lifetime steal of just £70!!!
Same game, same story, same everything, still £70 because we're Sony! Come buy it.

It's really nice of Goggle to refund all 10 people who bought their hardware.

I actually preferred Season 2 to Season 1 personally. I think it's because Season 2 made more of an effort to add variety to the locations of each episode, but all three seasons are must plays for adventure fans in my view.
Here's to hoping we get Season 3 remastered on consoles again soon too.

@AnnetteM No offense taken. I have to say I still prefer the original voice actor and do find the change somewhat "unnecessary". That said it makes absolutely zero impact on the quality of the game and as such, no complaints from me.

"Featuring Rapper ASAP Rocky" means to me that I'll be muting the game soundtrack and playing my own music just like I had to do with NFS Heat's abysmal soundtrack as well.

I am probably one of the few people who think God of War 2018 could have done with a "behind you" view button. Yes, it would have broken the admittedly very impressive single shot atmosphere, but the flashing circle around Kratos felt like a sticking plaster to me the whole game.
Dead Space makes much more sense due to the corridor environments but again, I don't want the single shot atmosphere to impact the gameplay.

@Jacko11 Considering this "remastered" version entirely redubbed the character of Bosco due to a white actor having voiced him before, I'd say the reviewer is referring to the latter.

@ShogunRok @themightyant @Beerheadgamer82 so long as well all agree that Nioh deserves to be on this list then I'll go to bed happy tonight 👍

Oh look. Nioh 1+2 are both missing from the list and God of War 2018 is the winner. Exactly what I said would happen when the ratings opened up. How boringly predictable people can be.

A thoroughly underrated developer. Hope the game is a hit and the self publishing option pays off for them.

As much as I bemoan a lot of Sony's latest decisions, their approach to accessibility and inclusivity in gaming is genuinely industry leading and something they should be lauded for. Well done.

Takashi Miike means I'm onboard! Fingers crossed the end result is more Castlevania in quality and less Dragons Dogma.

This is going to end up being another poll where Nioh is criminally underrated and God of War ends up at number 1 despite not even being the best in its series.

Sony have released hardware which is well beyond the reasonable asking price for the specs?!?! Well I never....

I think this is essentially going to mask the price increase. The PS5 digital model will retail for the Disc Drive version. That one will be faded out alongside a new "detachable" disc drive version which Sony will be able to market at their new higher price for the console.

Rise of the Ronin. Looks even better than GoW Ragnarok in my view!

My take is that PlayStation Gamers actually have a genuine reason to be disgruntled at CoD (potentially) leaving their systems, but the way that Jim Ryan and Sony have complained and whined about it has eroded any sympathy I would have had for them.

@Uncharted2007 Dino Crisis without Regina and her red hair & shotgun just isn't Dino Crisis at all 👍

@tameshiyaku it's because RE4 is essentially the basis of all modern third person shooter game design that it's as unnecessary as the Last of Us remake is.
At least with RE2 remake, they transposed the old survival horror mechanics to modern design, but RE4 plays like every game out today already. Hence totally unnecessary.
Shinier graphics don't make a better game.
I'd much rather we have Kojima's Silent Hills and look forward with gaming/franchises rather than always looking into the past.

@Uncharted2007 agree about Dino Crisis 3. That game can stay in the past where it belongs. But rather than a remake of the 1st one, no reason not to make a new game similar in design to the originals. And if it's a hit, then port/update the originals games as well. Then it's a win-win.

@tameshiyaku I'd have rather had Shenmue 3 for all its Dreamcast era throwbacks than a remake of 1+2 designed for a modern audience. I absolutely loved Shenmue 3
