Re: Silent Hill 2 Remake Dev Asks Fans to Give It 'a Chance'

ChromaticDracula

I've been cool with everything I've seen so far, but after they redid James' face, my hype has been elevated even more. I think it looks fantastic and people need to stop bandwagon-hating on Bloober until they actually see the final result. Yes, Bloober has never made a 100% amazing game but neither have a ton of other devs and they don't garner nearly as much hate.
October can't come soon enough!

Re: Classic Stages Return in Sonic X Shadow Generations Comparison Trailer

ChromaticDracula

I’ve never been into the 3D Sonic games, they just seem like a bunch of random things thrown together and too automatic. Adventure 1 and 2 seemed good but I never played them.
That being said, I’ve heard really good things about Generations (even though I felt the 3DS entry’s level design was abysmal (random pits and obtuse design leading to nonsensical deaths)).
I may get this on sale down the road.

Re: Metal Slug Tactics Commands Attention with Tense, Turn-Based Gameplay on PS5, PS4

ChromaticDracula

This right here, folks, is one of my most anticipated games coming out. It’s so nice to see it’s still “alive” and coming.
I have a humble little list full of what I think are going to be heavy hitter games.
Oh, what the heck, here’s my list:
-Silent Hill 2
-R-Type Tactics I & II Cosmos
-WOLFHOUND
-Old School Rally
-Over Jump Rally
-Small Saga
-Dragonyhm
-Dracula: Dark Reign

…and last but absolutely not least:
-EARTHION

Re: Preview: Elden Ring Promises a DLC Masterclass in Shadow of the Erdtree

ChromaticDracula

I love the use of the venue for this event LOL
This is something I wish would happen and it actually did.

Nothing to do with religion, it's just a very fitting venue aesthetically and is consistent with the subject matter.
What would you choose: Best Buy, or big box store, or a church. A trailer in a parking lot with a gaming rig or a church.
I'd pick the church over any other venue.

Re: Rumour: Ubisoft Is Going All-In on Assassin's Creed with Black Flag Remake, Another Remake, Co-op Multiplayer Games, and More

ChromaticDracula

I’ve only ever played 1 and 2 on their original release. Never touched or looked into any others because I could just tell it was the same thing over and over, re-skinned as we say.
That being said, I did just buy the Ezio collection on sale today (will be playing for the first time since the Xbox 360 days!) and I will be taking a look at black flag remake (if that’s actually a thing) since that seems to be folks’ favorite and it does genuinely seem cool and different.
I always wondered at what point do we find out that assassins creed is actually in the same universe as Hitman? I always thought they were going to reveal that Hitman is actually just assassins creed but in present time.

Re: New PS5 Pro Leak Points to Significant Graphics Push from Sony

ChromaticDracula

Personally not at all interested at this point in time.
I’m playing games like streets of rage 4, tunic, slave zero X… all not graphically heavy or taxing on the ps5. Hell, the same games are playable on Switch.
I’m glad they’re pushing the envelope but look at the graphics (previews) on death stranding 2. Insanely good with current hardware.
Oh well…

Re: $130 Version of Star Wars Outlaws Under Fire as Ubisoft Prices Increase

ChromaticDracula

The whole “…Pass” verbiage was always so cringe to me. What is this, Disneyland?
While on topic, so is the “Pro” verbiage on devices.

Anyway, just came to show my age. Like someone else said above, when I see anything has a “pass” it’s an insta-no-buy from me. If anything I wait until they re-release the base game with everything included, at a discount. Could be years after they release the game but that’s just how it is. 🤷‍♂️

Re: Preview: Sand Land Could Be a Surprise PS5 Hit, But the Grind Has to Be Good

ChromaticDracula

As a newcomer to this series (I haven’t even read about the anime nor do I know the character’s names), all I want to do is drive that bubbly bike piloted by the female on the cover photo for this article around the desert and blow stuff up. It reminds me of a Tron/Death Standing design and I’m here for it.
My friend has this preordered and I think I might join him after reading this article. Going to try the demo first though.

Re: Elden Ring DLC Reveal Trailer Debuts in Less Than 24 Hours

ChromaticDracula

I’m so excited right now. This 3 minutes of gameplay is going to be more exciting to me than the ~25 minutes of the Nintendo Direct and I’m a HUGE Nintendo fan. I guess I’m an even bigger Elden Ring fan?
Seriously though, ER is my game of the lifetime. I loved Dark Souls and still do but ER is just special.

Re: Silent Hill: The Short Message (PS5) - There's a Reason It's Free

ChromaticDracula

I liked it…for what it is, that is.

Some positives: stellar audio (your footsteps change on just about every surface), graphics and atmosphere are immersive (although yeah, the models aren’t too convincing but the atmosphere is) and classic soundtrack.
4 out of 10?

It’s more like a 6. No real gameplay but this is a welcome return/teaser to “silent hill”.
PT did it better but there’s nothing wrong with this at all.
Even if I were blindfolded, just from the audio cues and soundtrack, I’d know this is silent hill. That says a lot and should afford more points/weight.

Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's State of Play Livestream for January 2024?

ChromaticDracula

Upset no Elden Ring DLC but don't let the word "upset" lead you too far in the wrong direction. I'm stoked, this was a great state of play. Im enamored over the Death Stranding 2 showcase. Kojima is just beyond words.
Upset is also the wrong word when I say all we have for Silent Hill 2 is "In development for PS5"
Like... no **it, Konami! Not even a Q2, Q3, Q4 piece of news.
The combat looked very gun-heavy and the showcase seemed very combat heavy in general which I didn't care for overall but it's coming along very nicely nonetheless. Combat in Silent Hill was never front and center except for boss battles. Not complaining, just mental dumping lol

Anyway, great SOP! I walked away happy!

Re: The Latest PS5 Firmware Update Is Available to Download Now

ChromaticDracula

I don't need an internet browser. For those who want it, I hope you get it someday.
Me? I want Sony to focus on system stability and bugs, not updating their browser so it works with some websites. WHY NOT FOCUS ON GAMES.... ?

Folders would be nice.

Themes... meh... the background switches when selecting games so the "dynamic" nature of it is preferred for me I suppose.

Re: An Until Dawn Movie Is in the Works at PlayStation Productions

ChromaticDracula

I've gotta agree with @DennisReynolds, I came to say something similar about how the game is like a movie, so making a movie sort of makes this like some kind of weird coming-full-circle thing.
A movie, based on a game that's based on movies. Only this time it's not interactive so .. it's just a movie.
I wonder if it will take on its own story or be just loosely based on the scenario (winter cabin, stereotypical tropes, a slasher on the loose, people go missing, etc.) of the game?
