I think people have high expectations whenever a remake of an old game is announced/shown, especially for a once-popular franchise like this...
At the end of the day, this doesn't look good, especially when you compare it to what other studios are doing remake-wise (example: Demon's Souls remake by Bluepoint and SIE Japan Studio).
It amazes me how we keep seeing (via capture footage) and/or hearing (via interviews) about games being played on the PS5 compare to the Xbox series X, which, up to this day, has yet to show something actually running on that damn thing… Frankly, that’s just mess up.
Anyhow, this game looks neat. I can’t believe it isn’t a full priced either. I will probably get it once it comes out.
@japongt the majority of people do not have their PS1/PS2/PS3 games around anymore for one reason or another (if you think otherwise, then you are just delusional), either because they lost them, sold them, or gave them away.
Believe it or not, a lot of people just don't like having old ass video games around their houses/apartments collecting dust and taking space, especially when they know they aren't going to be using those things again in the future in a substantial way.
So yes, for them, absolute BC with PS1/PS2/PS3 games (discs) is just worthless, so they do not care... Now, you can either accept it or be a t**** about it.
As long as it is BC for PS4 games, I'm all good.... I don't have my PS1/PS2 games around with me anymore, and I have never being eager to play my PS3 games again either. I just don't care...
@Ken_Kaniff you don't even know how many of their games (and which ones) will get port to PC, or even when.... so, you are just going to wait and hope a game you like releases on PC 4 years later after its initial launch? I just found that notion to be kinda moronic, not offense.
Anyhow, to each their own... you do whatever you want if this idea of porting of some of their older games upsets you that much.
@Mhayes111387 Good for you for "understanding" the technology (which you most likely don't understand at all)... random guy in the internet. I'm sure you are a sheep though, you just don't know it yet.
Can't have a comment section without a user whining. It is such an annoyance.... I think this is a neat thing that Josh Leman is doing for the Dreams platform, period.
Hmm... not really that interest in this. I will need to see more. Seeing more might change my mind.
I would prefer to know more about that Project Awakening game though. It's been forever since I heard anything about that game. Is still even just a PS4 game at this point?
Open the next event with the Silent Hill soft reboot, then let us know that FromSoftware is working in a new exclusive IP for the system (after they are done with Elden Ring), and end it with Kojima telling the world he has an horror new IP in the works.... Showcase the new UI using Spider-man: Miles Morales with another game. Done! It is a wrap... You got a a winner.
P.S. realistically, I can see them showcasing the new UI using Spider-man: Miles Morales and revealing a new game, hopefully the rumor Silent Hill soft reboot. Plus a tear down of the system and whatnot. BC with older generations (PS1, 2, and 3) I do not care whatsoever.
@AdamNovice I don't care about Gabe has to say, never has, especially when he doesn't explains why... Now, that Domino's ad towards Halo Infinity, even though harsh, was pretty funny at the same time.
I'm not fan of the overall character designs of the MCs and some of the walk cycles (0:39, 0:52) look weird as heck. I’m not sure about this one right now. I need to see more.
I like the song they played at the end of the trailer though.
@NorrinRadd I don’t know why…. This is all Phil Spencer doing by making all these moronic remarks. He should have just kept his mouth shut about it and just focus on his upcoming show, but hey! he didn’t, so here we are...
I’m not worry, I will be just disappointed if any of these companies buy those studios. ATT should keep investing on those studios especially since gaming is bigger than ever (but we are talking about ATT here; they just keep making moronic decisions, one after another).
Anyhow, whatever happens, it is what it is... Also, I gotta to say that 4 billions dollars is a lot of money for these particular studios (especially without the IPs that made them successful; I guess there is Mortal Kombat, but I have never care about that IP... I’m more of Street Fighter and/or Guilty Gear guy when it comes to fighting games).
Everything about this looks uninspiring and bland, even for a work in progress. I also hope those cut-scene animations are better in the final built; the facial work and body movement gives a lot to be desired (but then again, Assassin's Creed isn't really know for their quality cut-scenes animations).
@Olmaz That's the least thing to worry about this work in progress gameplay video. Also, realism or not, she is a viking for god's sake, wtf did you expect her to look, like Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy VII remake...
@Scollurio So just because the guy has been a "Nintendo guy" for so long means he can't like dark themed games (or it is weird if he does).... that is just some straight BS there.
Basically, if some likes Nintendo games (because he/she grew with them), but also likes games like this, that means that person must be abnormal (or better yet he/she must be a liar)... c'mon.
@Logmein That notion of yours that a studio isn't talented or creative anymore because they don't do the type of games you want is just moronic, you know that, right?
They have the talent, they just don't want to do that type of games anymore, simple as that...
@AdamNovice The idea of Insomniac being bought/joining Facebook would have been a disaster for the studio and the gaming world... Thank god that didn't happen.
Same old, same old, but with a more cartoony art style and designs. Hell no, I’m not paying 60 bucks for this. I’ll probably give it a try once it is in discount though.
Hopefully they will actually do something new gameplay wise…
I was really hopping for the title to be Crash Bandicoot 4: it's Time to Crash and Burn
For some reason I have never been fan of any of the Crash Bandicoot games, so I can't say I'm stoked for this new game, especially when it is been developed by a studio which best games (since 1990) consisted on remasters of older games.
Anyhow, I recently played and finished the remastered trilogy, and I thought it was OK at best, nothing more, nothing less. I might try this game after it gets discounted though.
I'm more of a Ratchet and Clank fan, especially the gameplay aspect of it.
I'm not fan of these type of racing games, but power for those that do.... I'm more into something like the Destruction AllStars game shown during the PS event. Now that game looks fun.
Remake it to the point it looks like Persona 5 graphically and I might actually care about this. Plus, I'm sure as hell I won't be wasting 100 hours of my time again in a RPG that I already played years ago on my Vita, no matter how much I liked it during that time.
I want Atlus (Persona project team) to focus and start planning and working on the next Persona installment (Persona 6). That's the only thing I care, not ports of old games. Hopefully the next installment won't be high-school centric as that it is getting stale. Let's branch and try new settings please...
I'm all up for a change.... better than what the Xbox is doing with their UI (which is already crap, btw) by leaving it practically the same as their last console. Who cares about change (generations) and innovation right? By now, I'm sure as hell Xbox does not...
I'm still excited about the possible revival of the franchise but only if Team Silent is working on it (if not, then forget it)... After the team went separate ways, the Silent Hill games became average to mediocre at best.
Also, if by the end of August nothing is reveal, then I will forget completely about it, and move on.
@iamtylerdurden1 true... but don't worry, they are definitely the minority, so you can ignore them. They are just loud and more vocal (like usual). Everything is a negative and/or a disappointment to them to the point of being laughable.
@gollumb82 I have read and heard from couple of reviewers (not from the US) that are playing the game that the PS4 (pro) sounds close to the same way it did when they played Uncharted 4. Same loud intensity you get from most of the most recent PS4 exclusives, but not as loud as some of those other reviewers are making it out to be. I guess this will be different from each user...
That is a really good CG extended commercial... Lighting is superb, animation and camera movement/transition is smooth, shot composition is excellent. Any one that actually knows and works with high-end CG pretty much will love this.
@kenyowa I'm sure they did a good amount of testing with blind players (plural) to see that it works properly... You just don't create/built accessibility options like this without testing them with their corresponding groups (blind, color-blind, etc). It will be a waste of time if you don't.
Who is panicking? The Internet? Is there anything new here? Panicking is Internet’s second nature.
Frankly, I could care less about BC for (really) older generations (PS1, PS2, PS3). As long as it has BC for PS4 games, I’m good... I bet the actual percentage of those wanting to play those older PS1, PS2, and PS3 titles is really low… I would prefer if they put their resources into remaking (not remastering) some of them instead (aka Resident Evil, Shadow of Colossus, etc). Now, that’s something I can actually get behind.
Same old story with some of these Middle Eastern Countries. Nothing new here, but something to be expected. I’m sure those there that want to actually play the game will find a way to get hold of it.
The demo looked amazing… I honestly can’t wait to see what Sony’s owned studios can achieve with the PS5 in the long run after seeing this… especially studios like Santa Monica Studio, Naughty Dog, and Guerrilla Games.
Until Xbox shows actual exclusives worth playing.... I could care less about that brand (like pretty much the rest of Europe and Asia; Xbox what?). The way MS have treat this current-gen is just pathetic; they know it, you know it, everyone knows it...
While PS is ending this current-gen by releasing 2 major exclusives games, MS is doing basically nothing... so why should I expect they won't do the same thing this coming new-gen... PS and Nintendo is all I need...
@get2sammyb The thing here is that Cerny's GDC speech was a tech speech meant for hardcore developers, not for the average consumer... This is different, this was supposed to be our first look to next-gen games, this showcase was supposed to be tailored to your average consumer, and... it didn’t deliver at all (no cool game announcements either), which I think it is worse. Honestly, after looking at the LoU2 trailer last night and how excellent it looks, nothing here really pops at all. That game looks ten times more next-gen, than the actual next-gen games shown today. Ghost of Tsushima looks more next-gen than any of the games shown today as well.
@Wormold You review the game and that’s it, there is no need to talk about all that stupidity going on (right now) when reviewing it. It doesn’t have anything to do with being “brave enough” either… You want to read a review of a game quality as a whole (gameplay, performance, etc etc), not the controversies around it like its leaks and whatnot (we have enough of that already).
