Your gaming allowance better be on the heavy side this week, because there’s more than one new video game release coming out this week that warrants a purchase.
The undisputed must-play title coming out this week is without a doubt Batman: Arkham Origins, which releases on October 25th. It may not be from Rocksteady, but it’s Batman, and WB Montreal didn’t mess with the formula that made this franchise successful, so put your fears away and add this game to your 2013 to-do list.
The next major release coming out this week is also rooted in the comic book genre. TT’s Lego Marvel Super Heroes is releasing for a plethora of platforms, and promises to bring the same level of humor and shenanigans as the previous Lego mash-up titles.
GB: "With this feature, we talk about 15 games on the PS3 that should be remade for the PlayStation 5."
The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that
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.
Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC
God damn I love motorstorm so much
At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version
In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that
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.
Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.
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.
Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.
Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League is almost here, but I can't revisit the best Arkhamverse game on PS5 without sacrificing quality.
Not a fan of Orgins. Blame it on the absence of Conroy & Hamill. Blame it on the lack of atmosphere compared to Asylm. Hell blame it the devs thst dicked over Wii U owners like me that purchased the game only for support be dropped as a thank you to me. It's better than Knight but that's not saying much. I don't care for that entry either.
tbh buying a game like that for WiiU should’ve been an obvious non-purchase when it existed on better hardware.
Origins is amazing..
my favorite Batman is Batman and Robin on mega drive.. an HD REMASTER of that would still look glorious
I got it launch. Kinda hard to go back. I'm supposed to know they were going to drop support months after the fact. 🤣
You sound like a salty fanboy, that it didn't come to your precious plastic of choice. It's not the developers fault Nintendo continues making underpowered hardware. It's our fault because we keep buying it. Yes I say (we) I'm part of the problem as well.
I have a PS3 and a Wii U. How was I a salty fanboy? I bought the game on the system I wanted it for.
Nah my comment has nothing to do with whether you’d know or not that they’d drop support.
Buying any AAA game of that era for a WiiU you should’ve known you’d be sacrificing graphics and load times.
Smacks of hyperbole to me, talk about clutching at straws to create some drama around PS5!!
Titles like these are designed to get you to come in, go to their comment section and tell them how they're so wrong so they can boost their numbers.
Even though its not the best arkham game in the series, its still an enjoyable game in its own right. What it do really well at though, was the crime investigations scenes. Which imo, were the best of the franchise.
I don’t know about best game but it definitely has the best story and boss fights.
Never played it and recently I've finally tried it via cloud on psn. It's not the best for sure, but it ain't bad either.
Batman: Arkham Origins launched 10 years ago today, and sadly doesn't stand the test of time as well as its predecessors.
I fail to grasp why this title is worse compared to Arkham City (according to the article) as the author didn't provide any argument to explain why aside from that it felt the bigger map compared to Arkham Asylum made the experience less tight.
More importantly, the author seems like he never played Arkham City since he described the game as linear (alongside Asylum).
Definitely going Batman, but want to squeeze in some Lego Marvel action as well.
Im going to hold off buying anything this gen beyond two souls is the last game I rented and bf4 (with ps4 upgrade) will be my last purchased game!
roll on 29/11/13
There is lots to pick from this week and finally for Wii U there are a bunch of things all at once - Deus Ex & Lego Marvel Tuesday, for kids Just Dance Kids & Spongebob on Tuesday as well. Friday is Batman & Wii Party U.
Something for everyone finally. The next few weeks are going to be like that too.
In any case, Batman & Lego Marvel for sure!
