MCV - Decisions on how much the machine will cost and whether it will get a global launch ‘haven’t been taken yet,’ Sony Europe boss Jim Ryan told us last week.
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.
I want to buy my PS4 for 50 bucks
"But not all games retailers were impressed.
ShopTo CEO Igor Cipolletta said: “I was expecting a reveal like Apple’s. It would have said: ‘This week in store’. Sony still has a lot to learn.”"
Igor is not very smart guy, is he? 'This week in store' would have killed PS4's launch completely with only a couple of games available for the system.
I just want it in Australia for Xmas....Sony, release in Japan, Europe, Australia & NZ first & leave America until after you've accommodated your biggest audience.
Europe's population trashes America's, & even more importantly, PS products sell better in Europe than than the States.
Sony just keep screwing Europe/Aus/NZ in some vein hope & attempt to get American's on side & buying there product, when it just ain't gonna happen.
Many American's will stick with MS's consoles, because MS is an American company.....simple as that, simple patriotics. And MS know how to cater to the U.S. customer base, especially the younger generation that have grown up on big dumb shooters.
Many of Sony's exclusives are not so straight forward in genre definition, & such, & do not cater exclusively to the blood loving, shooter psyche that many American gamers are known for....Now, I'm not saying ALL American gamers are like this, as many probably miss platformers like Crash, Donkey Kong Country (SNES), Banjo, Medievil, Sonic (MD/Genesis), etc, etc, & many other examples of great games & genres that are now all but dead, thanks to the meteoric rise of war & sci fi based shooters.......but, as a collective hole, it is safe to say that America has a big market, & a big casual demographic that just love easily accessible, big, over the top, dumb, shooters lead by overly steroided, gravily voiced protagonists.
So, Sony should get it to us Aussies, Euro-trash & kiwi's before even bothering with the American's.
i think that price sounds realistic. Sony are working on the price cause for sure they learnt from PS3 very much.
A very sexy line up isn't enough if the console is prices too high because the PS3 still has some very serious titles coming out and for an affordable price.
i don't know for the 300 i believe that the price will be 350-400£ or 450-500euros. i wish to be wrong about the price!
