Bummer. It would have been a nice option, but clearly they can still make a solid single player game. I just hope they either add mounts or a streamlined fast travel system. Legging it everywhere gets old.
I think this is the lowest review score I've seen from you guys 😂 I would have never imagined the game could have turned out THIS terrible, mediocre at least. But wow.
All of these upset responses really had their hearts set on specific things 😆 Metal Gear, Dogma, Marathon, and Spidey were enough for me to like this way more than previous showcases. VR segment was brief, no interruption from devs or announcers. I liked it a lot!
After reading this article, I found a sealed copy on eBay for $5 and bought it. After years of curiosity, I finally got to play it, and I'm glad I did.
The original RE4 is among my all time favorite video games and I have played almost every port of it. Despite this, the Remake still makes me feel like a chump sometimes 😂 The combat is challenging to master and I'm having a blast.
I'm confused by the merging of art styles here (much like the Lego DLC of Forza Horizon 4). Lego-ish trees on more realistic grass, both Lego and regular clouds? All things considered the graphics look great, it's just this clashing design that throws me off.
It was poor marketing and pricing for sure. I was extremely hesitant to spend $40 on a glorified demo, then gave in and proceeded to binge it for 20+ hours completing the additional episodes and just playing around in the sandbox of a map.
I enjoyed my time with ICO back on PS2, but I had no idea it existed until after I played Shadow of the Colossus. I was bummed out when I found out the North American version cut out some extra content and has the vastly inferior box art. Thank goodness for the HD PS3 port!
I experienced this recently too when I was redownloading some PS1 titles to my PS3! It seemed to happen more consistently when I had 3+ games downloading at once in the background, so if I waited for one to finish downloading, that also helped get past this. Otherwise just try again and again.
If I had a choice, I'd like FF to go back to the turn-based roots, but there's no denying there are countless games to fill that niche and this looks insanely polished. I'm looking forward to it!
@Beerheadgamer82 It looks like for the sake of clarity they are only including PS4/5 titles so the rankings list doesn't read two versions of almost every game (though I would argue they should combine the listings for PS4 and PS5 ports if that's the incentive).
They are all masterpieces so far! I'm currently playing through the series (started at 0, currently playing 5). So far 0 and Kiwami 2 are tied as my favorite, and 3 is my least favorite.
This bummed me out. The live service cosmetics isn't even that big of a deal on its own, it's the fact the combat relies on everyone using guns and the always online requirement (which of course means you can't even play the game anymore when the servers are taken down).
This sounds like a more refined Toukiden, and the open world traversal tools and camps sounds nice! I'll throw this on the wishlist for an eventual purchase (already too many games to play and it's only February).
Dualsense support is the only thing swaying me to PS5 ports of cross-platform games, and I'm rarely swayed to PS5 as a result 😑 What a bummer it wasn't handled better on this game.
@theheadofabroom Yeah I would consider the graphics on the PS2 port very comparable to the GameCube for sure. And I agree the art style was it's strongest point by far! Just seems like this remake's reception was kinda set in stone, even if it launched in this post-patched state.
Perhaps this game is like getting a new kitten. It's so innocent and adorable you want to spend all of your time pampering it. Then by the time it's a full grown smelly adult that has overstayed it's welcome, you see it for what it really is 😂
(Please note I haven't played the game nor hold anything against it. Just a joke 😉)
I'm glad I stuck with it, because it actually provides good plot explanation as to why Wesker doesn't look or act like the famous VG villain, and how he's even there at all post-RE 5. It has campy bits and scenes that make little sense, but overall this is my favorite live action representation to date.
This is too bad, inFamous is always a joy to revisit and Second Son in particular set a standard for PS4 visuals and gameplay. Hopefully PS5 will see a new one some day but it's sounding pretty doubtful.
I'm leaning towards watching Dogma, as the only thing that would pull me towards the FFVII stream is if a Crisis Core remake or remaster is somehow happening (but extremely doubtful).

Re: Poll: Which PS5 Blockbuster Will You Be Playing in June?
SF6 for sure! I was never a fan of isometric games and I'll wait for reviews on FF16 (though I'm sure it'll be great).
Re: No, Dragon's Dogma 2 Isn't Adding Co-Op Multiplayer

@ItsBritneyB_tch Awesome! Glad to hear it 😁

Just installed PS3 Hen, probably skipping this update...👀
Re: Poll: Help Us Rank the Yakuza / Like a Dragon Games
@Amusei The Osaka Castle! It's one of my favorite parts, it's so bananas I had to remind myself I wasn't playing a Warriors game.

Re: Hogwarts Legacy (PS5) - A Harry Potter Dream Come True
@LiamCroft I must know, can you learn/cast Flipendo?

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Forspoken?
I'll definitely consider this when it dips below $20 on a sale. Mute the voices, turn my brain off, run around and blast stuff.
Re: Fast-Tracked Death Stranding Movie to Be an Authentic Hideo Kojima Production
This movie will be 5 hours long.
Re: FromSoftware Reveals Armored Core 6 for PS5, PS4, Out Next Year
Time to start holding the Dualsense backwards for optimal (?) control!
Re: Poll: Will You Be Watching The Game Awards 2022?
I watch for the announcements AND for more Keighley. But this year I'm watching for a shot at a free Steam Deck as well 😅
Re: You'll Play as a Zombie in Dead Island 2, New Gameplay Reveals
@Would_you_kindly And just like that DLC, you're using these abilities to combat the undead still. So you're a zombie with morality apparently...
Re: Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion (PS5) - A Fantastic Remaster of a Fun But Flawed RPG
So as a major fan of the original, the only true negative is the new voice actors. I'm very excited.
Re: Elden Ring Adds Competitive Colosseums for Free This Week
Battle of Stoicism lives on! I wonder if this will actually draw in players unlike the arenas in Dark Souls 1-3...
Re: Stage a Heroic Assault in Free Gotham Knights Update for PS5
Still hoping for a QOL update to add haptic feedback/adaptive trigger support to help with the feel of the combat and driving the motorcycle 😒
Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - Issue 21
Woh I got 12! Has to be my best quiz score yet 😅 Only 2-3 guesses too 😉
Re: Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reveals How It's More Than a Remaster
Crisis Core is among my favorite games of all time. I'm picking up Reunion on day one!
Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - God of War Special
11 out of 15 for me 😅 I killed it until stuff like the original title, mobile game, and cameo questions.
Re: Silent Hill 2 PS5 Remake Announced as a Console Exclusive
So glad this is coming to PC! This will be great.
Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium PS5, PS4 Games for October 2022 Announced
What's the benefit of Premium again? I'm starting to forget...
Re: Final Fantasy VII's Battle Royale Mobile Game Shuts Down Just Over a Year After Launch
I was actually hoping this would hit consoles/PC because it wasn't half bad for a BR. Mobile constraints didn't do it any favors unfortunately.
Re: Mini Review: XIII (PS5) - Improvements Can't Save This Remaster Redo
@theheadofabroom Yeah I would consider the graphics on the PS2 port very comparable to the GameCube for sure. And I agree the art style was it's strongest point by far! Just seems like this remake's reception was kinda set in stone, even if it launched in this post-patched state.
Re: Mini Review: XIII (PS5) - Improvements Can't Save This Remaster Redo
So the average-at-best shooter's remake is now average-at-best now that it's mostly true to the original? Shocking.
Re: PS Plus Essential, Extra, and Premium PS5, PS4 Games for September 2022 All Announced
Another month that I'm glad I'm not subbed to Premium. Maybe in a year there'll be a decent vintage library there to warrant it.
Re: Poll: How Much Would You Pay for the DualSense Edge PS5 Pro Controller?
The feature to replace sticks is good for when it starts to drift I suppose 🤷♂️

Re: Killzone Shadow Fall PS4 Servers Will Shut Down, Three Other Games Too
I...totally forgot about Killzone Shadow Fall, and it was one of my first PS4 games 😔 I should revisit it.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Stray?
I live with two cats and my appreciation for them is on a steep decline.

Re: Feature: What Are Your Most Anticipated PS5, PS4 Games for the Rest of 2022?
This seems broken? I can't select Crisis Core five times over. Anyway, that's obviously my #1, but Callisto and Hogwarts are up there too.
Re: No inFAMOUS or Sly Cooper Games in Development, Sucker Punch Confirms

Re: Poll: Which Final Fantasy Game are You Most Looking Forward to?
Crisis Core! I thought Square tossed it into a hole and buried it for good. I'm so excited.
Re: PSP's Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Remastered for PS5, PS4 This Year
I thought the rumors were false! I can't believe this is getting a full remake. I get to relive one of my favorite games!
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Officially in Development
Trying to keep calm here..."My. Body. Is. Ready."
Re: Reminder: Final Fantasy 7 and Dragon's Dogma Events Are Happening at the Same Time Today
I'm leaning towards watching Dogma, as the only thing that would pull me towards the FFVII stream is if a Crisis Core remake or remaster is somehow happening (but extremely doubtful).
