Will Heath provides an amazing insight into the world of gaming and how it can quite possibly have an agnostic future. From games like Horizon: Zero Dawn to Ori and the Blind Forest, games being shared across platforms is just becoming more and more common. What does that mean for players and developers, though?
With the details we now have in terms of features and pricing, I don't think there are any significant concerns remaining - just that perhaps that the term 'remastered' in the title is a little misplaced. Essentially, what we're dealing with here is broadly equivalent to a release along the lines of Death Stranding: Director's Cut. It's the original game with a dash of extra content and additional visual modes that tap into the power of PlayStation 5.
Bloodborne, Infamous, Killzone, Resistance, Puppeteer, Jak and Daxter etc are all better choices
Even a full on remake of Drakes Fortune I’d take
Well I want a Horizon Zero Dawn remaster especially if it's an upgrade to Forbidden West Graphics and Animation.
Nope. But HD remasters are an easy cash grab that the masses shovel cash for because while they complain about remakes, they still buy them
My thoughts on this is do we need Richard Leadbetter's or Digital Foundry's opinion on anything........ever? I know I don't they do nothing for me and never have.
In the video game industry, where visual design and game mechanics typically grab the limelight, the significance of music in enhancing the overall gaming experience is often underestimated. Music can be a key component in the player’s emotional connection with a game. It amplifies emotional impact, heightens tension, and can be a powerful driver of narrative. We’ve had the chance to speak to Joris de Man, a renowned Dutch composer best known for his work on the Killzone series, Horizon: Zero Dawn, and its sequel Horizon: Forbidden West. During the Game Access conference in Brno, we talked about the process of composing music for video games and how he created the harmonies that have shaped some of our most beloved gaming experiences.
Joris seems like a great guy. I spoke to him briefly once about how much I loved his music and he was really friendly/humble.
GF365: "These are our picks for the best side-scroller games on PC. The genre was popular back in the day, and these modern games prove the genre is still alive and well."
No it's not. Exclusives are more important than ever. And if ppl think Streaming is the future, look at the video streaming industry - it's all about exclusive content trying to get your eyeballs and wallets. If anyone can play the same game the same way on any platform, what's to keep anyone on your platform? Or other platforms from cropping up that want to take a piece of your pie? Exclusives will still be a big deal in the future, just like they are now
If so, there will not be a point to any console.
