Sony reported the PlayStation 4 has sold over 5.3 million units worldwide, a number that is a 1.1 million unit hop over its previously reported 4.2 million sales as of December 28th, 2013. Already toppling Xbox One sales in January 2-to-1, it is fast approaching the Wii-U in overall global sales. PlayStation 4 is looking to be crowned this generation’s king of consoles. What is astounding to consider: The PlayStation 4 will be available for sale this upcoming February 22nd in Japan, with over 24 new region-specific titles becoming available. Among them are fan favorite Dynasty Warriors 8, and a return for one of the earliest RPG titles ever made, Nobunaga’s Ambition.
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 personally didn't enjoy 2 as much as I did 1. Actually didn't even finish it.
I do praise that they didn't just carbon copy the 1st game and added more of everything, but I think that during the process a lot of what made Darkest Dungeon appealing to put a ton of hours in, was lost.
The new mode does look cool and I will definitely jump back into it and try it out.
Amen to that (:
Hail to the king baby!
The world is not enough for 2 kings,therefore all other consoles will bow to Ps4
I love to hear about all the ps4 sales news but im very eager to start finding out what some of Sony's top studios are developing. SSM has to be driving me nuts cause I haven't got a clue on what they're working on, but I know it'll be epic. MM and GG new ip also has me excited, not to mention sony bend who like R@D had a lot of success on the psp but somehow seem to be flying under the radar. The return of the jrpg has me pumped too considering I haven't played a good one in years. There's rumored to be 2 AAA Jrpgs in development, whether one is the last Guardian idk but I don't think so, that's a different game entirely. Either way I'm super excited about all these projects, I just wish Sony would drop a bomb on us and announce all of them lol.
24 titles for the Japan launch? But Death said there wouldn't be any games for the Japanese...
