"We sound off on what we want to see most in Sony’s next console."
Golf With Your Friends gets better again, with the introduction of a Critical Hit DLC pack and the launch of Speed Golf.
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
"The Vancouver-based (Canada) indie games developer Red Hook Studios are today very happy and excited to announce that their roguelike /strategy/RPG “Darkest Dungeon II”, is coming to Playstation consoles (PS5 and PS4) via PSN on July 15th, 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Get rid of Playstation Home? what are these guys smoking? there are always lots of people in playstation home,i dont really like it as of now but i understand why others do, sony just need to have better integration with pshome/ps4.
an example: lets say im playing a ps4 game and i earn a trophy then an option pops up on the screen if i want to set up my trophy on my pshome trophy room (that would be an awesome way to use pshome) or have a video chat with friends from your trophy room or ps home room.
I agree they should let Sixaxis die. It's barely used and when it is it feels forced and unnecessary (like Wii motion tbh). I don't want motion sensing. Sell on your exclusives, price (which will be cheaper without having to stuff cameras and screens and motion sensors everywhere), streaming, PS+, free online, and POWER! These are working fine for PS3 as long as you don't sell for $600 you can dominate the market (they're about to pass xbox despite their terrible launch and being more expensive the whole gen and a year late).
PS Home is a double edged sword IMO...although its a good social tool..it does somewhat distract from AAA games in general, as when I was frequently using home, many people did not play games much.
PS Home makes Sony money (Micro-transactions) so they should not abandon it, but its focus needs shifting...and perhaps it should be streamed via Gaikai in the future, as the constant loading is off putting.
Regarding B/C...something tells me PS4 will not have disc based B/C because of Gaikai...but tbh any way of playing those stellar PS3 games on new hardware is a plus IMO.
I'm sure paint is cheap so why not offer more varying colors with the new PS4? Don't make other colors just a special and more *expensive edition option - offer it as standard across the range.
Quieter or at least unnoticeable noise levels coming from internal exhaust fans when extreme heat temp is detected.
Do hope the new control pad will get slightly bigger in size as well, and do keep "rumble" ability.
I wanted head tracking in my games, and with the new ps eye/panopticon, it looks like i'll get my way. Cant wait for properly responsive head tracking in Gran Turismo 6, FPS games, and Flight games.
