PS4 Attitude: "This generation has undoubtedly been great for gaming, but with day 1 patches to download and online passes to activate, there have also been lots of hoops to jump through before you even get to play a game. Below are four innovations I’ll remember from this generation, but that I hope won’t follow us into the next… even though they probably will."
Spiders, spiders everywhere.
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!
I can see your frustration and mostly agree, but modern remakes of games lost eras ago are fine if you ask me.
I don't know how old you are, but I was a kid when the first Medievil came out. It's really for a new generation of gamers more than anything and the industry is at a point now where there is an insane number of current gamers who missed out on those classics.
If we're talking about remakes of The Last of Us or remasters of GTAV, I'm in agreement. Otherwise, the choice to remake games like Final Fantasy VII, Medievil, Parappa, etc. are fair to me. Even PS2 era games being remade would be welcome to me. Often, the tech updates make it worth it.
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
hitman
I agree with this article wholeheartedly. Sequel-itis is another thing I hope doesn't make up the majority of games being released.
For me it would be ( in no particular order)
1. Microsoft shift to casuals with Kinect
2. RROD scandal
3. PSN Hack
4. Microsoft's horrible E3 with the half naked jungle people and the poor audience wearing ponchos.
5. Ninja Theory destroying Dantes image
6. The trial against the hacker who hacked the PS3.
7. Capcom turning Resident Evil into an action fest.
8. Capcom exploiting DLC with fighting games for example.
9. Silent hill getting turned into an action fest.
That's about it for me.

One thing I will remember this generation is the rise of the angry nerd rage fanboys that developed on the internet, and I mean that on all sides regardless of system.
My 1st jaw drop moment I will always remember was seeing the graphics on Fight Night Round 3 on the Xbox..... I was gobsmacked
Leaving my ps3 in my living room when re plastering walls, didn't end nice for the blu Ray drive lol and disappointed with gta4 ( just my opinion) other than that it's been a great gen
