Get the scoop on Comedy Central's exciting new cartoon show inspired by the iconic Golden Axe video game
Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.
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
PSIV I think the roman numerals would like smart
PlayStation 4.
I mean does anyone really see Sony calling it Orbis, or any other imo dumb code name? Yes there's the whole Vita's Latin meaning being life, and Orbis Latin meaning circle. Yay Circle of Life ect... Then there's the whole Japanese number 4 superstition but I think people look to much into that.
The thing is PlayStation is a brand a massive brand known worldwide period. So if a Company is going jeopardize there brand recognition causing confusion. In doing so risk potential profits an consumer loyalty. All over shi meaning death they need some help. If anything they should rebrand it in Japan if they absolutely have to.
Anyway that's my two sense. On a side note they can call it any damn thing they want I'm still buying it regardless.
They can call it "PlayStation 4", it's alright, with the "arabic" (ahem, ahem) figure, even the Japanese will most definitely call it "Puleiste Foa" and not use the pronunciation "Shi" as if it were the japanese numeral 四 (which could be mistaken with 死, the kanji for death, which has the same pronunciation).
It would be a commercial suicide not to capitalize on the brand name "PlayStation" and call it Orbis, btw...
