I love how probably the most infamous and extreme singular vision of AAA releases is also such a positive beacon in all this chaos. Kind of fits perfectly.

So I use two different HDMI slots on the TV and switch right?

I guess the current Xbox will be the last

That is a wild release. I wish we would get more of this stuff. No matter how obscure.

@Zeke68 you can just buy Empire of the Ants, remove the sticker carefully and put it on your copy of Bloodborne.

I never played the game and just watched the video. Every time I thought "wow" was - to my surprise - the PS4 version and not the PS5 remake.

Why is that? Is the original more artistic in it's visual decisions and the PS5 focusing more on realism?

@Sequel can you elaborate? Looks like a typical tactical (like the name suggests) game to me. I skipped trough the video and can't find roguelike elements. Do you have a timecode?

It has no Platinum

Ubisoft is on fiiiiire these days 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Now they all even start to sound like the same

You can't boot the PS5 without landing on it first. So yeah. Everybody is "using" it by default.

Great. There goes my last spark of hope for Ridge Racer 8

I played a few Outright Games recently because I am a sucker for racing games. But they are all sooooo soooo slow and handle like they are broken. It feels like a chore.

Oh … I was ready to hate on it. But that looks fresh.

I was so incredibly pissed off when I downloaded the seemingly stand-alone release in the shop just to suddenly have Fortnite permanently added to my account. This is such a no-go to do without making it clear on the store entry.

Still would love to have it as a stand-alone release with 2gb size.

Yo. Also reporting from the German front.

Having this with no online is … bewildering.

My answers are not an option.

I am not gonna play it because I am too afraid of that stuff. But I am sure that it's a masterpiece.

The game is re-creating the most generic horror movie cliche on purpose. Making an actual movie out of this is so weird. We have that movie already 100+ times.

@Octaslasher your examples where from a time with huge differences in the generations and no way to play the OGs on the current hardware.

Completely different situations now. Especially with Until Dawn that is even on PS Plus in it's (good) PS4 version.

aka the dude from Guyver II

Playing the PS4 version right at this moment (it's still on plus) and … it's kind of annoying. Completely a-hole characters, drawn out to no end and full of fake jump scares.

Beat me baby one more time

Never played it. But based on this video the PS2 version looks a lot cooler. The fixed camera and gritty aesthetic is awesome.

The remake looks … well like every other modern horror game tbh.

(All imo of course)

@lostlaserdroid Totally. The extreme sport titles on PS2 where so much my jam.

Most new games would save on music licenses though and it would just not be the same anymore.

@nessisonett all they have to do to satisfy me is adding more stages and music. Maybe a tiny update on the graphics, but it's no must.

Expanding on what is already there. Because that was dope and perfect.

@AdamNovice I am huge into arthouse movies that have a similar vibe and pacing. Daft Punks's Electroma, Satantango, Stalker, Gerry, Elephant, Fonotune, The Brown Bunny etc.

And I would have never thought that somebody has the balls to do something like this in an AAA level game. This game should not exist and yet, it does. And I love it for that.

When the camera zoomed way out and the music started I got tears in my eyes and thought "I was not aware games are doing that"

Never cared about Kojima until DS. Now I am obsessed.

I am old. In my days it was normal that a product is available for people to buy.

If something was sold out, it meant that the company doing it messed something up.

Now it's the other way around? Strange world. No wonder the young generation has no motivation to do anything anymore, if you are considered a failure, if you are not breaking records or producing something that is not sold out immediately.

Love that dude and love the series.

My whole taste in music is based on THPS and Jackass

@DennisReynolds I am not informed enough about this specific case. So I should not have commented I guess.

My opinion was more in general.

A lot if ***** can go wrong doing a big project. It's fair to give them the go to finish their work.

Oh wow. That gameplay looks sick.

Somebody logged in with two accounts and has the avatar uploaded on the wrong one.

Wasn't Toriyama at his peak during the SNES era? "Late" would be like the Sandland game.

The left pic looks better. I am confused.

Argh that would look awesome if it would be a real game.

They talk candid about it and change stuff. Both are good things.

I am down with Lunar and Dino Crisis

I finished the GBA version of this one back then.

The described opening screen is exactly (!) what I love about the PS1/PS2 attitude. I miss this stuff SO MUCH!

I like that. The game is kind of an indie-movie. It's important that it exists, it makes a lot of people happy. But everybody can be really happy if they are not losing money in the end.

So what this publisher die is a really amazing move and I hope it will be appreciated by the community and press in the long run.

I hate the trend of stuff getting criticisms by not releasing asap.

We all know what happens if stuff get released too soon.

Same with the Stardew Valley guy. Just let people work on their stuff without adding even more pressure.

The soundtrack thing is just too much of an issue imo

It would be way worse to have a Tony Hawk game without the music. But LC also did rely a lot on the vibe the music brings.

I will play it because I never (really) spend time withe the original.

But having a full price remaster on a (still) new game is ridiculous imo.

@nessisonett everything you just wrote gave me an existential crisis

@McTwist now that you mention it … yeah! Where is the grit?

Thankfully for everything that puts pressure on Activision to get THPS 3+4 rolling though.

Oh how cool is that.

Same with movies. Harmony Korine movies are always around a 5 on IMDB.

It's a badge of honor. But sadly only for the people who already know what they are looking at.

The PS2 selection is immaculate.
