FanBolt writes: "Last year, Sony came out guns blazing during their press conference at E3 2013. It seemed like they were just one step ahead of their main competitor, which got the crowd – and the web – fired up in a way that we honestly haven’t seen from Sony in a long time. They came baring a new console and a firm vision for the future of PlayStation, setting the tone for what would be a spectacular launch for the PlayStation 4."
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.
Disappointed by the confirmed lack of the Media Molecule and Guerilla Games being there...Tearaway was one of my favorite games last year and I am extremely titillated by the rumors of GG new IP...
I would expect:
- Uncharted trailer
- The Order 1886 gameplay demo
- Driveclub gameplay demo
- Morpheus news
- H1Z1 news
- Some Vita news
- Maybe a new God of War announcement
- Destiny gameplay
Who knows, there could be one or two surprises. I think Microsoft will surprise more than Sony this time around.
SONY inviting gamers out to movie theaters to view their conference, must mean they have something (or a few things) very big to show. I mean, if those gamers who went out to see SONY's E3 conference didn't see anything mind blowing, I'm certain they would be irate, even though the tickets were free. It still took time, gas, effort, etc...to get to said event.
At least 2 megatons.
Classic franchises back with a bang. Handled by some of Sony's second party studios or perhaps collaborations with third parties.
Lots and lots of games. PlayStation Now. New IPs. Some last gen remasters.
The Last of Us Remastered releases on Friday but is playable on the show floor.
The Last Guardian is announced for PS4 - "winter 2014".
Indie games on the stage. Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. RiME. Shadow of the Beast. Games that show Indies can flex like the big AAAs.
Uncharted 4 will melt eyeballs.
Sony Bend will cause "panic" with their open-world horror game.
Project Beast starts an all new kind of hype train.
God knows what else..
