120fps would've been a bigger bonus but it's still nice to see the best game of the gen getting some love

'Belle Eve' would've been better

Hollywood is so desperate to plunder the video game market in order to turn a profit. There's an Outrun movie due to dribble out of a director's derriere in the future which shows how flimsy a video game movie plot can be.

Returnal still stands as the best game this generation on any system in my opinion so I'm eager to see how Saros will fare when it goes up against it's elder sister.
Can't wait to get a more in depth view of the art direction and core gameplay.

Pun Square does it again

@UltimateOtaku91 I stand corrected. I had mistakenly assumed MS were publishing it.

Why the deuce have MS released everything all in such a short time span? This, Forza, Indy, Oblivion and Doom in a few weeks. It'd be nice to think this shines in regards to sales but it might end up getting swamped by the bigger hitters.

The current state of world affairs is thoroughly depressing enough so I'm not choosing to watch a thoroughly depressing and rather nihilistic show so as to not sink oneself further into the abyssal depths of moribund emotions.
It'll have to wait for now.

It's a game I return to rather regularly to evoke those wild nights at the old Andromeda, Obsession and Dreamscape events.

Is she missing a few slices of cake?

My tiny mind read that as 'Playstation re-release Bags'
I momentarily thought that Push Square had finally gone doolally.

I'm never sure whom I dislike most when it comes to the rabid idolatry of gigantic corporations.

I doubt this remake is going to do any favours to BGS's Creation Engine moving forward if it turns out to be made in UE5.

It's an underrated series.

A colossal goat f$#k

So like the game basically.

Very much deserved foe Asobi and without sounding too pessimistic on Ninja Theory it was good that it wasn't lavished with accolades. HB2 was fundamentally flawed as a video game.

From what I played last night it felt like an inferior Doom clone with a sci-fi aesthetic. Certainly not unplayable but nowhere near as satisfying as id Software's recent offerings.

@SuperSilverback The news will break via MogNet.

Vivi might get all the plaudits but nearly all of the ensemble are great company in this gem.

Its wonderful to wander around the house driving your dear wife to the point of utter madness by endlessly quoting Black's "I...AM STEVE"

The more I watch this trailer the less I like the look of it as a concept.

They need to write a character with some actual depth if they want to turn this series into something worthwhile. Aloy's frightfully bland as a protagonist.

It's not targeting high end hardware but charging the same as.

Having the utterly dull Shenmue ahead of Super Mario 64 is quite sonething

Women do possess breasts of all shapes and sizes. Isnt' that true diversity?? We shouldn't deny their right to exist (I'm getting into very dubious territory here)
I'd fully expect varying sizes of member if the male version of this ever gets made for women to enjoy. Kratos or Joel for the biggest Cumberland?

@trev666 The detritus on PSN is utterly shocking.

Alex on DF summed up a few people's opinions on this title when the guys commented on that State of Play in their DF Direct weekly podcast.

Well mine want one so he's talking out his corporate blow hole.

I can't think of an iconic video game character that's less suited to star in a movie adaptation. Link is you the player. He's a vessel and has no real traits other than your own. That's why you could change his name.

Considering the image of Nintendo as some wonderful family friendly company they've sure got some weird stuff on their store. A big boob pinball game from the Senran Kagura team isnt something I think families would huddle round the screen to enjoy.

Quelle un croque monsieur

Well I sincerely hope it's a duration of time that's focused on new and unique gameplay rather than time spent on making the cut scenes indistinguishable from a movie.

I only have to see a house spider and I shout "Vacuous Rom" in Micolash's 90s punk rock tones.

Some comments have been aired that even if it was a 12 hour nigh on flawless experience it doesn't justify the cost. I find that illogical as it thus leads you to assume that an 80 hour boring, generic slog fest that you hate IS value for money.

They're releasing an unavoidable patch that locks it at 15fps with a maximum resolution of 480p, solely because Sony cares so deeply.

Square are at the very apex when it comes to ridiculous complaining.

Prince of Persia in Persian. The English dub is not great but the game itself is.

But the grifters said it failed and we know full well they're an honest group of high brow intellectuals who at no point resort to making things up to suit a narrative.

Hollywood needs to stop behaving like Viscum album.

Just imagine taking all of this so seriously that you have to incessantly and laboriously prattle on about it as if it's an affront to the palate. They've become the very same people they frowned upon. The outraged brigade who spend their lives sitting through the detritus endlessly trying to find something to harp on about.
It's a video game, not the inevitable heat death of the universe ffs.

I dislike the term 'The West'. There are vast differences in cultures that we generically define as some sort of homogenized lump of unified tastes. The Japanese are vastly different to the Chinese, so too the Scots from the Spanish.

Bang on Balls really doesn't sound too appealing.

A warning about horror elements in a horror game??? I wish they'd give us these warnings for lazy, un-optimised, broken games as well (is that you Bethesda?).
'If you experience trauma when your avatar falls through the floor of the game world, enters into a conversation with yet another T posing NPC, phases through gabbro rock on his trusty steed or you are forced to reload the game 10 times in one hour either please refrain from asking for a refund or wait for the next 27gb patch in due course'

Thanks for not naming the final bot.

@Balie3000 There's something 'Inside' that joke that's humorous l.

To be honest I care more about how it plays rather than the predictable obsession with narrative. The ND stealth shooter is rather antiquated now so I want to see how tight the gameplay loop is more than what themes the cut scenes will have.

I'd love a few more Sony IP levels (mainly Bloodborne) as DLC but it's probably best for ASOBI to go into hiding now and start on the next installment. Hopefully it'll be a PS6 launch title.

That I find the cinematography to.look bland much like the first series. I find the CGI is a way to mask being creative (many movies suffer from this). Also, I dislike that the sets are exactly the same as the game and even shot in the same camera position leading to the over reliance on things to remind the audience that this is from the game. The script in the first was pretty mid with an over reliance on the plot beats of the original game to keep your attention. The filler being far to weak to retain my interest. Acting was substandard but more to do with the script rather than the cast.
In regards to the cheapness it's more to do with how a movie is presented to you by all of it component pieces. My personal favourite movie of all time is Eraserhead. A movie made on a shoestring budget and yet at no point do I feel the artistic creation to be cheap, certainly in terms of visual flair and the uniqueness of the vision. The TLoU series does not give me the same feeling. It is unfairly held up as the gold standard in artistic achievement in video games for its story and whilst it's ok in video game narrative terms it's fails to match the standards when it comes to the medium it imitates. It's just another post apocalyptic cliche attached to a pretty decent third person shooter.
A game like Journey, Disco Elysium, Half Life or even Returnal are great examples of video game narratives for me personally speaking. The story is fully interactive and not just a flat movie cut scene which you watch. Journey for it's ability to invoke emotional and personal interpretations, plus it's ability to bond strangers via simple human companionship (all done with a basic premise), Disco Elysium for it's ability to allow you to chose paths and to give the player actual input into the story, Half Life because the plot progresses via uninterrupted exposition which doesnt impede the flow of the experience and Returnal because the cut scenes are based on player input and well, because the gameplay is just utterly bad ass. TLoU is lauded but to me it's a linear story told via the medium of film rather than the medium of games.
I hath drifted from the intial point. Basically when I look at gaming's obsession with imitating movies I find it juat ends up sorely misrepresenting gaming strengths and also pales in comparison with cinema's finest works.

@Uromastryx In what capacity? Do you refer to why one doesn't share the same enthusiasm as others?
