The second batch of stand alone downloadable content has been released for the game, “Prototype 2” on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace and the Playstation Network. Similar to the first DLC pack known as, “Colossal Mayhem,” the second pack dubbed “Excessive Force” adds an array of new weaponry and another batch of skins for your travels.
In an industry that grows increasingly reliant on remasters, few were worth complaining about, making the original versions preferable in most respects.
Not sure what happened with FFCC. They really bungled it big time. It's a shame too.
I really wanted to play that one too, but after the demo I was disinterested in buying it.
To this day, the Crystal Chronicles remaster still left me with a sour taste. I really wondered how Square reacted to the feedback.
I thought the Prototype games had terrible graphics even when they first came out. Pretty crazy that the remasters essentially got nothing in the way of visual upgrades. A resolution bump. Yay.
Let alone Activision kept those prices at release price for a year before they even thought to reduce them in a sale.
To me, this topic is pretty easy to answer as I recall laughing at loud when Bethesda announced that PPL on consoles (Xbox1 and Ps4) would need to buy Skyrim Special edition and it would be free for existing pc Owner because it was basically the same game at max setting.
I often gave this answers to numerous ppl who where happy about paying 40$ for cheap remaster that would have been free on PC by saying everybody wins PC players gets the upgrade for free because they never paid in the past for quick fix that a mod of graphics card could do and Consoles players get to pay because they love paying and defend the practice of paying (like the numerous I have a VHS tape of the movie why don't they give me a free DVD version).
So for me, any crappy Remasters that deserve to be on this list are the ones that only give a frame boost and resolution boost for a full-price experience from the previous generation. Now ill exclude compilations like Batman, Uncharted Trilogy, Bioshock Trilogy, etc. because they were actually giving you more than 1 game so I'll count them as a collection instead of remasters Nor should I included games that have complete remade graphics or add new playable elements (Metro 2033 Redux, Quake, Gears of War Ultimate)
Since there are too many games ill give some example that comes to mind: Heavy Rain Remaster, The Last of US remaster, God of War 3 remasters, Burnout Paradise city Remaster, Tomb Raider Definitive Edition. Baja: Edge of Control HD, etc.
Again my main complaint here (has it was last gen) is that these kinds of remastering are now free (called performance patches now) but were sold at a premium price despite having almost no work to put in.
Andrea Gennaro has released a HD Texture Pack for Prototype 2 that improves the textures of all the three zones (Red, Green and Yellow) of the game.
I can’t get it to work, I got the two HD packs and when I tried to run that Tex.exe nothing happens.
In a recent interview, the producer of Radical Entertainment’s cult-classic Simpsons game, The Simpsons: Hit & Run, spoke on the possibility of a remake or remaster.
I would love to see it, but EA owns the rights to Simpsons games, and they have done nothing with it for years now, so I can't see it happening. They own the license still for one reason, to keep making money from that crappy mobile game (probably the only reason why they got hold of the licence in the first place)
In all honesty, I would rather not have a remake at all with EA in charge. I would much rather see it in the hands of any other company before that happened.
If they did remaster the game it would be censored by idiotic sjws. The Indian man we loved from the show Apu Nahasapeemapetilon would be ripped out of the game so fast.
Don't forget making a lot of female characters playable and independent and act masculine and makes Bart and Homer sissies.
I had ran Hit and Run on PC last month on emulator, it did really aged well, cell shaded really can live two generations. Just like Dark Cloud 2. A proper remastered version would be awesome then a sequel.
The game has aged so well and is a great time. Boggles my mind how EA haven't seen the potential in reviving the series
Ugh. That game was terrible. The first one was fun. The storyline was quite good in the first as well. The second, however, was a game that just took too many steps back. The main character was just a cussing trainwreck. His search for revenge was also very cheesy.
Wait. I'm ranting. So....here's my rant?
