A columnist at NBC’s Grio recently wrote an article saying to us that Enslaved is racially insensitive. I could easily just answer this by saying a big fat NO and move on, but what sort of editorial would this be.
WARNING: There are some Enslaved spoilers, so read at your discretion.
GB: "With this feature, we talk about 15 games on the PS3 that should be remade for the PlayStation 5."
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.
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.
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.
From Xfire: "It's not unusual to see the occasional bad PC port, but these ones make the bad PC ports look great in comparison."
To be fair with GTAIV, it was a very CPU bound game, released at a time when the vast majority of PC gamers still believed that the CPU was nearly irrelevant, and that you only needed a good GPU. 95% of "gaming" builds back then were using turds for CPUs.
Joseph, Josh, and Chris go over a striking Sony decision, a Star Wars: Knights of the Republic remake seems to be happening, and local JRPG lover Chris talks about Atelier Firis DX.
Everything's racist to some people
Its like that black dude bagging Resi 5 for all the black people you kill, never mind it was set in africa, or all the white people killed throughout the series.
Monkey wasn't particularly tan and his voice work and mocaps were not from a black man.
Though I personally thought trip was a little witch for enslaving Monkey and see no real excuse for it, the thought of racial overtones never occured to me. It seems that if it occurs to anyone else that tells you more about that person then the Enslaved game itself.
Slavery is wrong, race not withstanding. So to say the plot is stupid and bad for having a "good guy" type character justifying enslaving another person is wrong I can get behind and I would respect anyone that says it. To say that the plot is stupid and bad due to racial overtones is just foolish, misses the point of slavery being evil in and of itself, and makes me have no respect for the person that says it.
Utterly ridiculous. Obviously the columnist had nothing to write about.
