NowGamer Opinion: Game sales are in the drain, and developers have only themselves to blame.
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!
I can see your frustration and mostly agree, but modern remakes of games lost eras ago are fine if you ask me.
I don't know how old you are, but I was a kid when the first Medievil came out. It's really for a new generation of gamers more than anything and the industry is at a point now where there is an insane number of current gamers who missed out on those classics.
If we're talking about remakes of The Last of Us or remasters of GTAV, I'm in agreement. Otherwise, the choice to remake games like Final Fantasy VII, Medievil, Parappa, etc. are fair to me. Even PS2 era games being remade would be welcome to me. Often, the tech updates make it worth it.
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
Thing about gaming this generation is sequals after sequals coming out fast. Or they take a solid franchise and make a couple of tweaks that look good to them and pump the game out. And now that franchise has left a bad taste in a persons mouth. The originality for these games are not there any more its all about pumping the game the DLC out and making a quick buck. Tomb Raider is a great example of taking a solid franchise and breaking it apart and rebuilding it from the ground up and doing it right.I remember from Sega Master system days to PS2 days there was orginality and sequals weren't pumped out as fast as they are today. It would be two to three years before a sequal even came out. So yes I say it is devlopers fault and the publishers fault pumping out the game to make the coin. If you don't test a game you end up with a train wreck like the new Sim City game or like Black Ops 2. I know one thing I don't like playing a train wreck I like a quality well built game with orginality. Another thing that takes away from orginality and new Ips thats publishers faults and developers fault is relying too much on a cash cow title taking teams away from other titles to work on the cash cows. And then the title I am waiting for is pushed back.
who told me DMC was better than God o War Ascension need to take some responsibility. I bought DMC it was a boring nightmare, and GOW:A gets better and better the more I play it. If I knew nothing about either of these franchises and went by the score, I would of chose DMC over GOW, and I wold of been pissed if I couldn't afford to trade in ad replace it, with GOW.
If Ninja Theory was asked to do something "different," then they really did it wrong. The problem with DmC is that it felt like your generic hack n slash very similar to that of Heavenly Sword. Look, when you are given a project, you have to show off something "better" than the previous games and even the projects that you have done in the past. DmC is by all means a step backward. Sacrificing gameplay just for a slightly better story? Honestly, story wasn't all that impressive.
I also want to give a big slap to critics who have been praising this game because they think this is what we want. They go on talking about how "accessible" it is as if they've suffered enough with hard games and that more people want easy games. Dude, don't underestimate humans! We can handle ourselves pretty well.
Im not bored of my 360/PS3...
