NO!!!!!!!!!! seriously? i wanna try this game because i was quite in the middle in buying this game. i like dungeon crawlers. i don't know if they did good in this game. so i wanna try

SilentNegotiator4257d ago

I can't wait to play another twin-stick shooter in the form of an IP of one of my favorite horror series!

/s

Oh yeah sure judge it on it's perspective and not if it is a good game or not.

@ SilentNegotiator. If you don't think it's bad then why the sarcasm? Lara becoming twin stick didn't destroy the adventure motif.So why should it destroy the survival motif of SH?

SilentNegotiator4257d ago (Edited 4257d ago )

I didn't say it was bad. I sarcastically said I was excited to play a game series I like that had jumped genres.

I don't like twin stick shooters. A lot of people don't like certain genres.
Do you need Mr. Rogers to explain that to you? Because this sounds more like the basic things that he teaches. "Some people don't like certain things. Do YOU like those certain things? We all like different things. And that's what makes us special"

"So why should it destroy the survival motif of SH?"

Ahhhh....that would be the MULTIPLAYER.

Phayz4257d ago (Edited 4257d ago )

@SilentNegotiator LOL, Mr. Rogers...anyways, nobody is forcing you to play multiplayer...you CAN still play singleplayer, at least, that's what I plan to do. Then maybe I'll try multiplayer once I beat it.

In multiplayer I don't think you'll be with your team mates at all times either, pretty sure I read somewhere that you'll have to split up for puzzles and whatever else, which obviously will make you feel less safe and more vulnerable...I also read that you're still going to need a flashlight for most of the game, which could make for some interesting gameplay when you're separated from your team mates...so I don't think this will be exactly like most dungeon crawlers, in fact if it's done right (hopefully) I think it will be the first of its kind...ever...as a horror dungeon crawler. (unless there's one out there that I've never heard of lol)

I dunno, maybe it's wishful thinking lol (in the way that I'm hoping multiplayer or singleplayer will be)

Phayz4257d ago

I retract my last comment...I think it will be good as a spinoff game...but I don't think it will be even remotely scary (after watching some gameplay from TGS on youtube). I'm still buying it though.

SilentNegotiator4256d ago (Edited 4256d ago )

It doesn't matter. It is DESIGNED to be multiplayer with SP simply being an option.

You can't have good scary sets with people all over the place (online) or making the camera vary zoom (offline).

It is FUNDAMENTALLY not a horror-friendly genre.

Interesting that Konami is releasing nothing of note and still enjoying high profits. I guess this is the allure to companies.

VenomUK12d ago

It was probably due to the half-hearted release of the Metal Gear Solid Collection v1.

Imagine the extra sales Konami could’ve made if it had put some effort into it.

JL293011d ago (Edited 11d ago )

Half hearted? MGS: MC is the best collection of Metal Gear games you can get with tons of bonus content.

Why are you mad? Because they didn't make the games 4K so you can see the low resolution textures and warping better? Most of you cry babies never even touched the MSX Metal Gears.

SimpleDad12d ago

Of course, they rereleased MGS series on modern platforms. Thank You Mr. Kojima.

Since The Contra Revival Shows Konami Still Cares, How About A New Castlevania?

Hanzala from eXputer: "Contra: Operation Galuga is a classic revival done right, but why hasn't Konami done the same yet for the bigger and more popular Castlevania?"

shinoff218349d ago

Slowdown. Let them get these suikoden games done first. Alot of us are still waiting for those

XiNatsuDragnel49d ago

Castlevania fighting game for wii needs to be remade plz

Aphrodia48d ago

well, the new C ontra was made by Wayforward, who have been taking sooooo many of these classic franchises and making new iterations of them. Imo they aren't very good at it. And I don't see operation galuga being a large enough success to possibly give them Castlevania.

It’s almost like Metal Gear is a well known franchise

just_looken107d ago

Horrible news more proof todays "gamer" is just a cow ready to be milked.

That mgs collection is no better than my ps3 copy but my ps3 copy has 0 server restrictions i always roll my eyes when reviewers or these new "youtube gamer" channels show off the information books on a webpage via a trash in game browser or the lack of controller support like it s a good thing.

Also GOG still has a better version mgs 1 or use the duck ps1 emulator.

Well time for the peace walker remaster pc port 480p 20fps needs a rtx 3090 or 6900xt to run with dunovo konami account then a govt id check.

just_looken105d ago (Edited 105d ago )

All the bonus content on the new collection needs a konami server to load them up if you pull your lan cord only the games will work but that is temp as those games are digital goods.

When i said digital i know there is a disc version games are on the disc i was referring to the pc version and the patches after the fact but yes ps5 has a disc version.

Here is the online bit
