Been meaning to play Trials of Mana. At least they give us a month's notice. I think I'll start it today.

OtterX281d ago

Yea, I've held back bc I wanted to play through the OG JP (translated version) on Mana Collection first.

That's fine, I'll just jump into this one. I played Secret of Mana back in the day, so I'm sure I'll appreciate it. :)

MrBaskerville281d ago

Atleast I think Heat was on essential, and that's a better game than Unbound imo. Very similar games, just think the overall gamedesign makes more sense in Heat.

OldDuffer281d ago

Agreed! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so :)
I tried hard to love Unbound (I paid full price, so I wanted my monies worth), but it just didnt do it for me....

CrimsonWing69281d ago

I’m from Southwest Florida and the thing I loved about Heat was it really reminded me of my hometown (which I know it was more on the opposite end of the state, but it still hit me with nostalgia). I actually enjoyed the game, but I felt the cops were a little crazy. Like they will rubber band you and are just terminator levels of relentless.

PRIMORDUS281d ago

Paying for your games to play only for them to get removed? Good job people lol. At least some of those games on PC can be kept forever. As the old saying goes if buying isn't owning pirating isn't stealing.

Need for Speed will return in “new and interesting ways,” says EA

Support for Need for Speed Unbound has ended as Criterion focuses on the new Battlefield.

RaidenBlack80d ago

Plz no live service only NFS.
You already tried that with the reboot which was online only.

FinalFantasyFanatic79d ago

I can totally see them doing that again.

andy8580d ago

Just give me Underground 2 remastered

Fonsecap79d ago

Don't known if you're aware, but there is a modding team remastering the game in unreal engine 5, look for it it's looking good.

ApocalypseShadow80d ago

But no Burnout since you bought the competition to kill their game. And what's left of Criterion who stayed, were put to make your game need for speed. Don't care what ways it comes back. It's EA. No buy.

CosmicTurtle80d ago

They bought Criterion for their middleware engine Renderware I believe. But the studio was a bonus.

TheColbertinator80d ago

I enjoyed NFS Heat but they never built properly on that.

When to expect a great one should be the question. Must be 15 years

Dandalandan11799d ago

Why can't they just give fans what they want?
Remake NFSU, NFSU2, or the original Most Wanted.
Or what about a new Burnout game perhaps?

Deathtracker99d ago

We've been waiting for these remakes since, like, forever.

badboyz0999d ago

I'll wait for Midnight Club😁

The_Hooligan99d ago

Same. They should remaster the trilogy. I'll buy it day 1. I still have all three for the PS2.

Michiel198999d ago

fuck need for speed, give us a new burnout by Criterion

Fonsecap99d ago

How Need for Speed has reinvented itself for 30 years

"Need for Speed has always been too ahead of its time." An in-depth development team interview, covering 30 years of NfS.

gold_drake121d ago

underground 1 and 2 are still the best ones.

isarai120d ago

And they're spent every game after that trying to chase that high and never meeting it

Ninver119d ago

Makes you think if gamers are looking to relive nostalgia or each dev that has attempted to mimic the glory days are just incompetent?

DarXyde120d ago

Truth. Loved Midnight Club.

I wouldn't be mad at another proper Underground or Most Wanted (PS2/X360) entry though.

Out of 30 years Ea Canada made all PS1 versions they were New and Exciting then Blackbox Studio took over all were Fantastic.
Criterion Games took over Every last title is and was Junk including Unbound.
