Push Square: "This year’s E3 was very special for PlayStation. Despite dominating the industry with the PSone and the PlayStation 2, the company has assumed the role of an underdog at times during this generation. While the PlayStation 3 has played host to some phenomenal games – and posted some impressive sales figures in the process – there’s never really been daylight between the current flagship console and the Xbox 360. But with a series of knockout blows during its media briefing on Monday, the company really stunned its closest competitor, putting it in a promising position prior to the platform’s launch later in 2013. And yet, in spite of a positive showing, there’s one area that we’d like the Japanese giant to address before it returns to Los Angeles in twelve month’s time."
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!
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
Yes and that is how to make millions of gamers angry.
"there’s never really been daylight between the current flagship console and the Xbox 360"
LOL
The PS3 crushed the 360 in sales this gen despite:
* The 360 being rushed out the door a year early in the US and Japan and a year and a half early in Europe
* Being 200 dollars more expensive than the 360
* Tens of millions of duplicate 360s being sold over and over again to US and UK Xbox fans from the RRoD fiasco
* Microsoft being the only company that inflates their worldwide installed base numbers by reporting their shipped to retail store numbers and not actual sales to consumers like Nintendo and Sony do
* Hardcore Xbox fanboys pumping out fake sales numbers on sites like vgchartz
The true Xbox 360 installed base is tens of millions lower than the numbers that include the 4-5 duplicate 360s the average Xbox owner bought this gen.
If Microsoft got beaten this badly this gen by Sony despite all that, it isn't hard to see how Sony is going to absolutely crush Microsoft next gen where Microsoft:
* Doesn't have an extra year/year and a half to pad out their installed base numbers
* A 100 dollars more expensive
* No RRoD to inflate their installed base numbers by tens of millions
sony doesnt need to learn from ms. but ms needs to learn alot i mean alot from sony
"There's one thing Sony could learn from Microsoft"
Yeah, what NOT to do.
Sony can learn not to block used games nor be always on line to play standard games.
