Like a lot of games out nowadays, Enslaved takes place in a post-apocalyptic future. You play as Monkey, a muscle bound, acrobatic man who fights to survive in this harsh world. He must have screwed up along the way because the game begins with him restrained in a metal pod inside of a giant airship full of slaves. A young girl named Trip manages to free herself from her pod and during the mayhem that happens afterwards, Monkey also escapes. Trip and Monkey manage to leave the airship but as the name of the game implies, Trip makes Monkey her slave using a headband that controls people. If Monkey doesn’t listen to Trip’s orders, she can inflict pain or kill him using a device that controls the slave headband. The headband is also attuned to Trip’s heart beat so if she dies, Monkey dies too. Trip promises Monkey that if he can get her home, she will free him.
GB: "With this feature, we talk about 15 games on the PS3 that should be remade for the PlayStation 5."
Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.
Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.
A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.
Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.
Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.
I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.
Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.
I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.
From Xfire: "It's not unusual to see the occasional bad PC port, but these ones make the bad PC ports look great in comparison."
To be fair with GTAIV, it was a very CPU bound game, released at a time when the vast majority of PC gamers still believed that the CPU was nearly irrelevant, and that you only needed a good GPU. 95% of "gaming" builds back then were using turds for CPUs.
Joseph, Josh, and Chris go over a striking Sony decision, a Star Wars: Knights of the Republic remake seems to be happening, and local JRPG lover Chris talks about Atelier Firis DX.
I know people love to give Ninja Theory so much hate, but I absolutely love their games.
Enslaved is at the top of that list for me.
I loved this game, wish there'd be a sequel
If you have not played this awesome game yet then is your loss.
I love this game so much!
Enslaved and Heavenly Sword are definite keepers in my gaming library! People are really missing out on Enslaved that havent played it. It received great reviews too. I loved the world, graphics, gameplay and the characters! Just a great game!!!
