GamingUnion: "Before being tasked with rebooting the Devil May Cry series in the upcoming DmC, English developer Ninja Theory worked on the thoroughly enjoyable, character-driven adventure known as Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. Criminally under-appreciated by the gaming public, Enslaved put Ninja Theory's signature strengths on display - storytelling, strong characters, beautiful cutscenes and excellent pacing. If anybody ever decides to pull out this dusty file and return to Monkey and Trip's universe, I'll be the first in line."
GB: "With this feature, we talk about 15 games on the PS3 that should be remade for the PlayStation 5."
Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.
Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.
A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.
Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.
Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.
I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.
Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.
I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.
From Xfire: "It's not unusual to see the occasional bad PC port, but these ones make the bad PC ports look great in comparison."
To be fair with GTAIV, it was a very CPU bound game, released at a time when the vast majority of PC gamers still believed that the CPU was nearly irrelevant, and that you only needed a good GPU. 95% of "gaming" builds back then were using turds for CPUs.
Joseph, Josh, and Chris go over a striking Sony decision, a Star Wars: Knights of the Republic remake seems to be happening, and local JRPG lover Chris talks about Atelier Firis DX.
It's still a shame this game didn't sell better. But, that's life.
Cant wait for DmC...this was great, but I'm still hoping for a HS2
yes I did and loved it!! amazing music, story and character
Andy Serkis FTW!!
It's sad that the DMC backlash has spilled over onto this game. I loved the game to death. The simple, auto-pilot gameplay didn't bother me anymore than it did in games like Heavy Rain or 999.
Like one guy said, good story, atmosphere and great characters. But let down by its shortness, easy platforming and combat.
Still, i liked it and would like to see more games that take the positives from this one.
