This week Doug and Carbine talk about a ton of AAA games in the first segment including: Call of Duty Advanced Warfare and it's faster movement speed, Sunset Overdrive and it's fun attitude, Assassin's Creed Unity and it's technical problems, and how the Master Chief Collection is a fantastic value. Then in the second segment Doug and Carbine debate female representation in video games
While players have begged for Master Chief Collection mods on Xbox, Halo Studios has confirmed its not possible right now.
Yes PS5 version confirmed 🤣
Is what daylight observer would say then comes obscured and say dream on fanboy. 🤷🏿
Sony's recent State of Play inspired this feature on video game remasters. How the industry is changing & how much they still benefit players. Mike @ Thumb Culture
At the rate in which we have been getting them, and the selections such as TLOU and Horizon and other similarly unnecessary remasters, no.
In terms of reintroducing classics and making them available again at a reasonable price where as previously they were locked behind ridiculously priced physical copies, yes.
agree with the Horizon but TLOU - I've never played it and the remaster it's quite impressive graphically so for someone who never played the original game it's a treat to enjoy such quality!
There a plenty of gamers who switch platforms and so I guess the remasters are meant for those
There is a new crop of gamers every generation that didn’t play the originals and some of us older games want remasters of older games to play them on current hardware. Overall I say yes it is good. Nobody is forced to buy them.
They can also gauge interest for older IP with remasters and it could lead to a new game in the series. Remasters aren’t for everyone but no game is anyway
Chances are their parents did... and may still have them. That's how I introduced my kids to gaming. They played what I had and worked their way up. They learn to appreciate them better that way.
I don't have an issue if they don't take away from developing new games. It's always nice to revisit a game you loved in the past with extra shine
remasters of older games absolutely.
but i dont see how a 4 year old game needs a ... Remaster. a upgrade update should do the trick
bjt i guess for newer players its a good option.
Insomniac has confirmed that a PS5 port for 2014's Sunset Overdrive is not currently planned due to a focus on Marvel's Wolverine.
:(
.
(well, they're likely also working with Nixxes for the inevitable Spider-Man 2 PC port as well)
Sunset Overdrive was great...
I quite enjoyed the Demons' Souls remake too. I'm more or less begging for a Bloodborne sequel but would snap up a remake in a heartbeat.
I’d rather play an older unique game than a new Marvel game.
Im so blown out on Marvel, I can’t fathom how some people seem to have a bottomless appetite for it. A studio like Insomniac could do way better.
Yep those poor devs are now a marvel sweat camp
This port and a quick pc patch to fix some bugs would have been a great idea i actualy forgot its not on ps5 you think it would have by now.
But hey they got like you said spiderman 2 pc port then spiderman 3 then spiderman collection with a wolverne/blade tossed in.
From everything we've seen, it's not like Insomniac is being forced to make Marvel games - it's clearly a good partnership that results in good games. They're still making Ratchet games anyway which is what really matters
I have no idea why people like you keep making lies. Does it help you sleep at night? Where are you getting this information that they are either being forced or made into a Marvel camp? Sony approach Insomniac when they were independent to work on a Marvel IP and they picked Spider-Man. After the success of Spider-Man, it was Insomniac who pitched Wolverine to Sony/Marvel and was given the green light

This is new…it pretty much confirms it can happen eventually.
I thought Microsoft had publishing rights or something
Yes you are right. Microsoft allegedly has rights to the first game. Perhaps Microsoft wasted to sell it back to Sony in exchange for a port to Xbox Series. This would make the statement make more sense because I can't imagine that a port of this game even compares to the creation of Wolverine. So Microsoft probably requested a multiplat port.
They do but Microsoft doesn't really care about the game they are considering Halo 1 for ps5 so this would be nothing
MS doesn't just have the publishing rights for SSoD, they also have publishing rights for the next 2 games in the franchise!
" The game was later pitched to various publishers, which rejected them because Insomniac demanded to retain ownership of the intellectual property. The project was later pitched to Microsoft Studios, which was eager to work with Insomniac. Microsoft allowed Insomniac to own the rights to the game"
Seems Insomniac own the rights after all...
@Zeke68
publishing rights is not the same as IP rights or ownership. for SSoD, Insomniac owns the IP, MS owns the publishing rights. just like Sony with Spider-man. Sony only owns the publishing rights to the movies and games but the IP is still owned by Marvel/Disney.
See my comment below. When Insomniac left M$ they let Microsoft keep their publishing rights for... drumroll... Xbox and PC.
If they want to release it on PS they can let Sony publish it.
“It is important to note that Xbox owns the publishing rights to Sunset Overdrive.
Therefore, a PS5 port would need to be approved by Microsoft.”
I said this eight days ago and got disagrees.
Most people dont read bro..
Had it been their IP through and through it would of been an easy release for them and its a fun game, probably would of already happened. The people saying no ones cares about Sunset Overdrive would be saying cant wait to play in 4K 60 if announced
"Most people dont read bro..."
"The game was later pitched to various publishers, which rejected them because Insomniac demanded to retain ownership of the intellectual property. The project was later pitched to Microsoft Studios, which was eager to work with Insomniac. Microsoft allowed Insomniac to own the rights to the game. Sunset Overdrive was made for Microsoft's Xbox One console; it was released on the 20th anniversary of Insomniac, in 2014"
What I read is that Insomniac still own the rights to the game. Prove me wrong! ;)
Edit M$ owns publishing rights on Xbox, not Playstation as they never intended to release it on PS ever.
