GotGame: Microsoft and Sony are coming to E3 2014 on opposite ends of the spectrum, with the former looking to reverse the fortunes created by a series of about faces and the latter hoping only to hold on to the advantage first garnered at last year’s event. Microsoft is desperate while Sony is content – ironic given how their positions were inverted only a year prior – but now is not the time for complacency.
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.
I will give it to Sony for sticking it to MS last E3 it goes down as one of the most memorable and battle torn and even the most emotional E3 of all time.
With that said that was a year ago and we need to focus on the important aspect, which is the games. Certain Sony fanboys can only use the DRM as a crutch for an excuse for so long.
Sony needs to WOW at E3. There silence could make a great splash at E3. But at the same time Sony could buckle a bit at the show.
Who knows, nobody knows, E3 is close so we gotta wait and see.
Not happening this year. MS seems much more prepare for E3 than Sony and since last year it was rough... All the attention it's on Microsoft.
Just really hoping to hear more about PlayStation Now, as well as first-party titles.
E4 lol
Sony only won on PR. They didn't win on hames, and they won't have an incompetent MS to help them this time. I hope they have their A game ready because Phil is coming for headshots.
