OPM: With PS4 wowing the graphics pants off all and sundry, we decided to head back to the old school (always the best school) and dig up the 10 best retro styled games heading your way in the next generation.
Montreal-based developer Canari Games has announced their first title on Kickstarter, Lunark. Currently there is an estimated release window of April 2020.
This 2D shoot ‘em up is a mashup of Metal Slug and Monster Hunter. The story goes as follows: scientists were creating a bio-regenerating formula on a remote island when the chief engineer was kidnapped by Baron and his CLAW forces. A team with royal sounding code names were sent to rescue him. However, only your character and another survived the attempt. The deaths of your comrades are quite gruesome and portrayed vividly in pixel styled cutscenes.
Huh! A free upgrade to the previous ps4 version. Just redownloaded it again, acts like an update. Pretty amazeballs.

The gameplay, on the other hand, is vastly different: Mercenary Kings plays like Mega Man in a less linear environment."
Doki Doki Universe's art style reminds of a show I used to watch Stickin' Around, anyways can't wait to play all these especially Transistor :D
Galak-Z looks interesting. Really looking to see what the Super Stardust crew is up to as that is one of my favorite simple time-killers on the PS3 and looks fantastic in 3D.
I want a Turrican Remake - as faithfully to the original as possible.
I like em all it's good to have options that's the thing about Playstation
Some console only fps or kids game it sony always have a nice balance of everything
the majority of those appeal to me, I think i'm going to be exploring the indie market a lot more next gen
