P*N - The Enslaved: Odyssey to the West demo could not have come at a better time. It’s that time of the year where I start to get giddy for the big fall releases, and tide myself over with XBLA games (DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue) and the occasional early releases (Halo: Reach).
But I want something more. I want a hardcore action platformer, with cool characters, amazing visuals, and a tightly woven story. What can I say; I’m specific like that. As luck may have it, the currently released PlayStation Network demo for Enslaved teases me with all these promises, and so much more.
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.
Whoa, lets slow that train down, I don't think it was that good, not 60 bucks good anyway, but maybe 40 bucks good. The demo really remind me of uncharted, not the graphics but just the platform gaming part.
Over rated for sure, but worth a rent.
I dont care for graphics that much as long as there decent. The gameplay was a bit simple, but i didnt mind that. I thought the art style was really cool! The story is interesting, and made me want to find out what happens next. Sadly i wont buy the game because it doesnt have online. I will definitely rent it tho.
