I can't believe there was no mention of the sound design. To me, that's what sets Doom apart from all of the other shooters. Mick Gordon's work is phenomenal and a vital ingredient to the whole package.
Will I be able to transfer my PS4 saves over to my PS5? That's what I want to know about backward compatibility. If not, then it's not that important to me and will be the entire reason to keep my PS4 Pro.
In all honesty, if I had to give my top 100 games of all time (starting in the Atari 2600 era for me), I seriously donāt think The Last Of Us would make the cut. Of the last decade it might just make the top 25 at best.
Didnāt the disc from each system require a different kind or color of optical laser to read them? Would that mean different play heads for the PS1 black CD, one for PS2 DVD, and another for PS3/PS4/PS5 Blu-ray?
I think God of War was a step backward. The kid was irritating, the narrative was too slow, the enemies were boring and lacked interesting design, Kratos' axe was slow and not fun to use, his blades were massively underpowered, the boss fights were nothing compared to those in the Greek Mythology world, traveling by boat was a slog, and the valkyrie battles were unenjoyable.
I just finished this game last night and I too donāt care for the RPG aspects. I constantly felt like I was forced to grind XP instead of moving forward to see what was next. The hub (catacombs) completely ruins the pacing for me and Iām afraid they are now planning the same for Doom Eternal - it was announced that the Slayer will have a place that he hangs out.
All of this just screams to me that we need a 4K60 remastered Resistance Trilogy for PlayStation. That was a FPS series done right.
Quake. I want a Quake game of some form on my current gen console. No, I donāt want to join the PC crowd. I love Doom but a solid, single player, campaign, Quake game would be awesome.
Iām only about an hour in but Iām enjoying it. Iām still not sold on the controls though because at this point in the game it still feels floaty.
The music in the Nintendo Direct was much more appealing and actually had a variation of the Contra theme in it. This reminds me of the first several hype videos for Mortal Kombat 11 being some ridiculous hip hop garbage. That said, Iām buying the heck out of this!
The TG-16 mini honestly almost won E3 in my books. My Turbo Duo broke many years ago and Iām more than happy to revisit a solid year or so of my childhood with this new release. My fingers and toes are crossed that M2 is handling the ports.
The only other Konami announcement that I would have jumped for joy over are remastered versions of the Castlevania Lords of Shadow games. I think they get u deserved hatred but I found them to be amazingly enjoyable for what they were.
@Dodoo I felt the exact same way with the main campaign due to the slow pace and controls. I honestly donāt even know how close to finishing I came - I found it beautiful but too boring to keep investing time into it.
If Sony really wants to impress me, make it so the PS5 doesnāt sound like a fighter jet taking off when under a heavy processor load. Xbone and PS4 get so darn loud sometimes.
Honestly, this game absolutely blows me away with its beauty and depth while boring me to death at the same time. Iāve never experienced this before. I WANT to finish it, but itās too much of the same over and over.
Is this game more geared toward creators or people who want to learn how to use the tools to become creators? It looks great but also incredibly overwhelming and complicated.
@Eldritch certain aspects do look fantastic, donāt get me wrong. I just feel like a lot of it has low res textures that look really outdated. Great lighting, but the plane models arenāt very impressive to my eyes. At any rate, Iām sure the game will still be fun to play. Itās just funny to me how the last two generations have focused on looks rather than how fun it is. Iām a sucker for that mentality as well, apparently.
Wait, isn't Pachter supposed to talk about how Nintendo is finished and they had better sell out or start putting their games on the Xbox? I'm beginning to think "Industry Analyst" is another name for "Video Game Weatherman". He can literally say whatever crap he wants and it doesn't matter.
While the soundtrack to RDR2 was vast and detailed, I found it just āfineā but nothing that has me humming the tunes randomly. In fact, I havenāt played many classics from my childhood for decades, but I can still remember those themes. Iāve put a ton of time into these huge, epic, AAA games from the last two generations of gaming but none of the music strikes me as that memorable.
On the other hand, Celeste takes the cake. I havenāt touched it since the spring but many of its tunes and musical themes are burned into my brain like the those from Mega Man 2 , Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Super Mario Bros., etc..
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs Demon's Crest Final Fight Ghosts 'N Goblins/Ghouls 'N Ghosts Gun.Smoke Knights of the Round Little Nemo: The Dream Master Lost Planet Magic Sword Saturday Night Slam Masters Trojan U.N. Squadron
The game is beautiful and of the highest quality. Where I feel it falls short isn't even it's own problem...it's my problem. I just can't get over the fact that there are so many beautiful things to look at, but I can't actually go touch them. I hate to make the reference, but Breath of the Wild said "See that? Go there, touch it, climb it, do what you want!" as where this game says "See that? Look how beautiful it is!"
Still the most enjoyable Old West game I've ever played.

Re: Rumour: Job Listings Suggest Bethesda Is Moving onto The Elder Scrolls VI as Starfield Development Nears Completion
I'd be pretty happy with a new Quake or at least a compilation of older Quake games for consoles. Doom Eternal is going to be great.
Re: Futuristic PS5 Fan Design Is so Stylish
Sony should look to their past and give us a PS5 that looks like a Betamax with wood grain end cheeks.

Re: E3 2019: Contra: Rogue Corps May Not Be the Reboot You Wanted

Re: Bungie Splits from Activision, Takes the Rights to Destiny
Destiny was and is (to me) boring and lifeless. Then again, I never found Halo to be very appealing either, so I shouldn't be too surprised.
Unreal Tournament, Resistance, Time Splitters, etc. were all more entertaining and felt like the creators actually tried to be creative.
