I've upgraded quite a few PS4 games that I got with PS+ subscription (Dead by Daylight for example). Admittedly that was earlier in the PS5 cycle, but there's a chance.
I would be more open to this if Microsoft was a competent gaming publisher, but they have proven time & time again that they don't know how to manage or innovate their stable of IP's.
@sjbsixpack Anyone who says otherwise is just mad they can't find a PS5, bc the upgrades are totally worth it. Its not something I can explain to people besides recommending them to experience it for themselves.
Something about these platformer remakes...I expect a 6 or 7, and while I do agree that they are fair scores for the most part, I still enjoy the heck out of these.
I like how you jump right back into your last save and there is no title screen similar to Returnal. I had to day 1 this game as Dead Space 2008 is one of favorites from that generation.
@Deoxyr1bose I can agree with this 100%. The standards and expectations are much higher. Especially when you compare this to PS5-only games like Demon's Souls, Returnal, and A Rift Apart that perform exceptionally well. This game reminds of those early PS3 games that were coming out in the beginning of the cycle. This probably would've got a 9/10 in 2006.
Survival Horror games are all about that 2nd or 3rd playthrough for me personally. Once that initial shock wears out, and you become OP and memorize certain things, it becomes a different kind of game mentally.
I haven't played this game yet, but based on my observations on gameplay and world building, it seems like its a flawed game that got a lot right. If they make a direct sequel, I predict it will be an improvement.
@knowles2 that Marvel liscence mustve been most of the cost tho. Really cant blame them for trying to recoup. They actually botched the biggest IP in the world.
Its almost laughable reading through comments and gamers questioning a corporation's financial forecast. I'm pretty sure they expected 5M units based on how much they spent developing this game. Sure, let's just make a $200B game and hope it ships 500,000 units. Consumers & spectators, please stay in your lane LMAO. Everyone wants high end graphics, but it comes at a cost and risk, and this happened to be a bust. Its no surprise why low risk indie games are on the rise.
Having alot of fun with this one. Very laid back platformer that's clearly influenced by Crash Bandicoot. Perfect game to play in between bigger titles.
I have some nostalgia for the Atari but alot of these games aren't for me in the present day. However, the presentation and documentary-like aspects alone are worth the recommendation for anyone who cares about the history behind ATARI, and the video games industry in general.
I don't play COD, but these are excellent choices. Ghostwire Tokyo had some of the best side quests this year. Some of them were literally laugh out loud funny to me.
I look forward to jumping back into this world. I want to do a no side quest playthrough. When I played this last, I got so lost in the side quests that I lost track of the story.
I was worried this game was going to be a "samey" sequel, but after 40 hrs in (playing in hardest difficulty), this definitely exceeded all expectations.

Re: Site News: Where's Our Forspoken PS5 Review?
