Push Square: "Microsoft has finally acknowledged its next generation console. After months of silence, rumours, and bad news, Sony’s closest competitor has confirmed that it will reveal a “new generation of games, TV, and entertainment” on 21st May. While some feel that the Redmond-based manufacturer may struggle to usurp the PlayStation 4’s recent unveiling from a strictly gaming perspective, we reckon that it would be naive to rule out the Xbox maker entirely. But what are likely to be the biggest weapons in the company’s barracks, and what can its Japanese counterpart do to ensure that none of them land a killer blow?"
Golf With Your Friends gets better again, with the introduction of a Critical Hit DLC pack and the launch of Speed Golf.
Between its innovative puzzles, impressive presentation, and undefeated vibes, Cocoon needs to be experienced on Xbox Game Pass and beyond.
A remake of MediEvil 2 may be getting shadow dropped at the rumored PlayStation Showcase or State of Play presentation in May, 2024.
What, I thought this was dead after Shawn Layden left Sony. I would definitely pick this up if it's true. I have such great memories of playing the MediEvil games on PS1 and I played the PS4 remake. Such a great and underrated series.
Agreed. The first remake was stylistically beautiful and a very noticeable improvement over the original in every regard. And it was reasonably priced and sustainably developed (i.e. not some mega big budget game that was do or die for the developer).
If you played the original print I can see your annoyance. I didn’t and probably a lot others the past 20 years.
Was it any good? Would you suggest playing the original print of 2, or suggest the remake? Just wondering because I didn’t play the originals as I had an n64 at the time
I played the first remake and absolutely loved it. The quality of life and control improvements were very noticeable. I tried playing the PS1 original and gave up halfway through at the janky controls.
Expect the same for part 2. The PS1 version is janky as heck, but I would gobble up an improved remake day one.
The beauty of this kind of stuff is that I find myself enjoying more retro gaming today, so a relatively low budget classic remake (call it a single-A release) is exactly what is missing from first party releases in the modern age. I don’t want every game to be an unsustainable AAAA endeavor that is just overwhelming in every regard. Truly miss when game releases could be modest-sized surprises and still be commercially successful/viable.
Bring on more quality classic remakes!
Such a good series I also wish Sony would dust off Wild Arms and Legend of Dargoon even the Legend series needs to see the light again.
My bets on new Socom and/or Wolverine (since Deadpool 3 is dropping in the summer).
I think one after this state of play will be PS5 pro preorder
PS4 unveiling was a real genuine surprise low budget yet very smart event that caught many off guard particularly M$.
Next Xbox announcement was not a surprise. it was expected because Sony beat them to it. and now everything they will do is blow up their million dollar budget with red ponchos just to match PS4 unveiling.
After the departure of Steve Jobs, M$ seeing it as an opportunity to copy, I mean "compete" with Apple TV is spreading it self too thin against multiple competition on top of Linux, Apple, Google, Sony, Nintendo
Their contract with Nokia is soon to expire and there is a good chance Nokia will go Android route
its too late. Anythng now can be seen as just them playing catch up. Just don't possibly see how Microsft can stop Sony's momentum.
People will say after 21 may event.... nothing new, already saw at Sony Event, Copied from Sony. Guess what more Kinect Sh!t, Another famous lies about games (They did earlier, many announcement but nothing came true), Social, social and social, work as PVR, more COD and DLC, New Halo & Gear.
Well Microsoft can show off the next Xbox console itself, that will be a big one up in my opinion.
They can show games running on the next Xbox, show the actual interface up and running, say it's backwards compatible and it doesn't block used games or require an always on connection.
Those are things that will help Microsoft the most, of course no matter what they do, they'll get crucified here for it, but I think millions of gamer's will tune in to see what Microsoft has to offer, even if only out of curiosity.
i dont know how any of it matters till we all get the info from both systems.games price features etc. i wonder how anyone can see it any differently.weather sony went first or microsoft has a better show they will probably end up doing the same and show us most of thier respective PRODUCTS at e3 i wish it wasnt so but thats the way it is as for me i just wana see games!
