@somnambulance You're not being specific enough, you mean Megaman Legends!!

My daughter just turned one, she was -12 when GTA V released and I'm pretty sure we'll be having some beers and smoking while playing GTA VI together when it does finally come out. Maybe I can play GTA VII with my grandkids.

I 100% it on PS3 a few years ago. The PS3 version absolutely sucked performancewise but it was still an amazing game, driving physics are definitely the best in the series, the dark humour is dialed up to 10, it's actually quite a depressing claustrophobic game all around.

Not sure if I have it in me to 100% it again (even if the multiplayer isn't there, which it won't be) but I'm super excited for a new generation of people to experience this.

@Stocksy GTA's always used the in-game engine for cutscenes, so it'll look less detailed obviously but I don't think it's going to be jarring or anything.

@MrPeanutbutterz yeah, but with the budget and amount of attention this game is getting there's no way Take Two would risk the stock price with any type of negative headlines.

We can revisit this comment in a year and a month and see if I'm right though but I'd put money on it that this comes out relatively polished. Especially if the price point is above £80

@LifeGirl I agree. All of the other games were super distinctive in some way, mostly through being satires. Vice City was mafia, San Andreas was 90s Compton, IV was the paranoia and hypocrisy of post-9/11 USA, GTA V was essentially capitalism.

I'm very worried that the magic Rockstar had in creating something fun and unique and humorous left when everyone involved in the 3D era left. I'm sure this'll be a good game, but will it have that traditional GTA feeling? Honestly, probably won't matter. Still sad

Can't wait for Digital Foundry's thoughts on the PS5 Pro running this and the capabilities. Would be stunned if it did 60fps at full resolution but if not then it means there's no reason to get the Pro. I can't imagine Take Two allowing GTA VI to run poorly on the base consoles so I'm completely disregarding the Pro adding general stability - it has to do something big to justify upgrading

Love this. Glad at least one major publisher/developer isn't forgetting their dormant IPs. Very interested in Sega's lineup for the next few years.

Probably controversial but I was a bit sad when Embracer collapsed - strictly in terms of their strategy I was loving their AA budgeted visits back to old IPs like Destroy All Humans. Shame they just put all their financial eggs in one stupid basket

I'm actually shocked that they're including the multiplayer. Usually remakes and remasters leave it out - really happy that's not the case here and it bodes well for future Xbox multiplat releases of their classics

Just port KoTR to PlayStation, come on. Honestly ridiculous - just like Chrono Trigger being unavailable

Honestly befuddling how they've not done a thing with Chrono Trigger on consoles when it's freely available on the app stores. Do they just think it wouldn't be worth the cost?

Glad to see such a strong month, especially after 2024 was a bit void of hard hitters! Forza gets my vote - tons of content and longevity, wonderfully polished, but it's a bit unfair as it's technically an older release. If I had to pick a newer game, I'd say Clair Obscura.

On a side note - with Triple Jump and Polygon being demolished I really hope you guys have no plans to go away in the future ♥️♥️♥️♥️

@Vivisapprentice "we're" mate drop the console wars schtick, it's unbelievably immature.

Probably right in the confidence of their progression on the title, but I'd not be surprised if Take Two "suggested" an earlier date.

A remaster after a couple generations is appreciated. This glorified patching Sony now does is not. For all its faults, the Xbox has the best backwards compatibility you can find, and it's reassuring to hear how they've dedicated themselves to it.

Honestly my ONLY problem with this series really is the amount of cars thrown at you. I want to purchase cars, I want to go from rags to riches, and I want each car I acquire to feel like a proper reward. The last time I played a Forza Horizon game I had so many cars that it felt like Netflix - too much choice so nothing stands out.

A modern Serious Sam would be nice. Hopefully Devolver keeps the budgets reasonable so the expectations aren't "sell a hundred million copies". Not sure their corporate set up but that variety of IP would be really good for some devs from different ones to work together to expand knowledge from within. Eurogamer had a recent article on building in studio talent actually

Really wish they'd focus on some single player IPs they have. This is sort of like that that South Park meme where Randy is beaten and bruised but didn't hear the bell

@Bunchesopuppies nice casual spoiler

@species I felt the same way about WoW for years until I suddenly had a house, wife and kid. And suddenly, easy WoW became an extremely fun time for me. I think times have just changed and they're faster paced now, and while the old ways were nice and added to the feeling of accomplishment they now just take precious time away from an increasingly hectic general lifestyle

@Americansamurai1 good point on the song, which is actually quite critical for the game's entire tone haha

I'd love a remake too but it's absolutely not going to happen, you're right they cancelled the Twisted Metal game they were secretly developing (I think screenshots leaked after the cancellation) and Sony seems to only want to pump up their AAA massive budget games that are all third person open world adventures. Really wish they'd create an incubator AA studio for their new or less experienced devs and give them smaller budgets to do stuff with older IPs.

@Americansamurai1 I hope you're right but I just can't see Black making the cut, it's so much more violent than any of the other first party PS2 classics they've put up (I think). But then again, they did sell it on PS4 so who knows. I just want to get a platinum

Love this! Would really like to see Twisted Metal Black get the same treatment and also not get censored down. What I really want though is The Getaway, although I wonder if all the car licensing they did actually would prevent it from ever being rereleased

Was kind of disappointed by Persona 3 Reload, I started with P5R and went to P4G on Vita which I loved, had ... leveled expectations for P3R given the source material age but it really doesn't do it for me. Not sure why it ranks amongst the highest of them all.

Also side note: everyone cheering a digital future, the game digitally is half off? I paid less than £20 on eBay for a physical copy, beat the game in two months and resold it for the same price. Buy digital if you want but don't let the greedy corporations take our disc drives!!

Always wanted to play this back in the day but never got around to it, and wasn't motivated enough to play it without a platinum or enhancements on the PS4. Very excited for this

I'd also love to see Twisted Metal Black get the same treatment but maybe that's too dark - those cutscenes were intense haha loved it. Even the instruction booklet was awesome

I've never played Lunar (or Suikoden, or Grandia) so all of the classics coming back is great for me. And it'll be interesting to see how they are - I have 0 nostalgia for them and don't even know the basics plots, but I also have 0 issues with classic JRPG mechanics.

Normally I'd say it's rare to experience a classic for the first time, but it's even rarer to have SIX games to check out. The only question is, which series do I start with?

I seriously worry that this game will be detrimental to Bungie as a company. I'm sure that unlike other Sony live service games this was 100% Bungie's idea and passion, but the toxic approach by Sony has probably poisoned the well. I'll revisit this comment if the game comes out, is well reviewed and reinvigorates the company, but outside of random comments on an enthusiast news page (this one!) I just don't see the mass appeal

I'll buy them used. And if they're digital only then I'm going back to PS3 classics I missed while waiting for prices to drop.

I've never heard of this (surprisingly?), but for £11.99 that is risk taking territory. Excited for all these remasters of classics!

How about making it easier to view your library on PC?

I don't care if games solely built for the purpose of platinums exist, but there needs to be a special filterable tag for them. I've had to resort to a third party price tracking site where I've been individually hiding them for years just to clearly see actual games that are on sale. And a lot of the time the smaller indie gems get caught up in that, because it's difficult to tell at surface level.

@Bramble if you contact support I've heard stories of them refunding so you can repurchase, I remember this happening with I think Control being on sale right before it was included on PS+ - obviously rumours but worth a try!

Going to be honest, I'll probably buy this at launch and take a couple days off to play it. I don't have faith in the game being truly GTA since all the creative minds are long gone but I'm sure it'll be fun enough to warrant some hookey

I think I'm on an island alone here but I put maybe 10 hours into Shadow of Mordor and did not like it at all. It felt so incredibly aimless and goalless... Maybe I was playing it wrong.

I'm very sad the studio closed, though. They had the balls to make a completely original game in the Lord of the Rings world without mentioning Lord of the Rings. And they were obviously talented.

I love this stuff (TCRF is so much fun to peruse), but it's a shame it didn't come out years after the release of the actual games.

As a side note, I really have to be old. I didn't know people were looking forward to 2XKO - I can't even pronounce the name.

@Perturbator again, who gives a *****

I think it'll have one considering that Capcom was pretty open about it being very successful, I'm wondering if it's taking time because of MH yes but also because they're doing a rather large expansion. Maybe that's wishful thinking but given the success of Dark Arisen and the amount of time and money spent developing DD2 they'd be silly not to release an awesome expansion.

...wow £25 for a shirt, £130 for a jacket. Happy anniversary, Kratos 🙄

That's £25 for a shirt that literally just says God of War on it with a PS logo on the sleeve. The biggest grift ever is consumers paying a lot of money to advertise for companies

I played Persona 3 Reload and it was all right, looked at the original on YouTube and it was extremely simple, just modern (which is good I think). I platted Persona 4 Golden on Vita last year and it was excellent - would a remake have enough to convince me to play through the game a third time? I'm not sure.

But I'm glad it's coming out - I can recommend this to my friend that just started Persona 5 Royal and loves it!

What is wrong with gamers? Even on here people are like "ooooh Steam player counts" .. what losers. There are other platforms that people play on, and also - why do you care enough to read this article, decide to Google how many players are online on one platform, then comment something about it? Super weird way to spend your time.

I think the game looks fun, I'm not an AC fan but I'll probably pick this up in the future.

The PS Vita version is probably the best there will ever be for this game. Tons of levels, tons of unlockables, absolutely 0 microtransactions, and pure fun.

Part of me feels a PS5 version wouldn't do so great considering PvZ's origins, and the rest of me fully believes that they'll add MTX.

Also didn't they fire the creator of the series after buying the company and IP? Blah

I absolutely loved Saints Row 1 and 2 when they came out. 1 filled the GTA gap brilliantly, and 2 tightened the formula and had a really fun story with great humour. 3 was ok, I appreciated it more in 2020 than I did in 2013 or whenever I played it. I played 4 back to back, 100% both, and 4 was so awfully bad. Still had humour but it was extremely unfocussed and lazy - it was literally do a generic mission, go to spaceship hub, talk to someone, do another mission. Maybe the others were like that too and I can't put my finger right on it, but something changed with 4 and it rightly made me worry about the reboot (which I'm yet to play).

And I don't mind repetitive or "bad" games! But it really just felt like a massive drop in consistency

@rusty82 I really liked how the story just got more and more depressing as it went on haha

I feel like the only person in the world who actually loved the Bulletstorm story and characters. I really wanted to see what happened in the sequel!

@RiverGenie did the same, been subbed to Premium since they rebranded it, but realized in February that there's nothing there more enticing than my backlog right now, so may as well save some cash and work on that instead.

Don't know why everyone loves to hate on games. It was overhyped, but it's still a game I'm excited to try! Let's see how it is

Surprised at these comments!! I watched it throughout high school and rewatched the movie for the first time in like 15 years recently. Laughed just as hard as I did in high school. Yes it's inappropriate for today's age and the jokes land a bit darker, but I love it

@Colour amazing. It was really dumb, but super fun and I actually really enjoyed the story. Sad we'll never see more of it (beyond a million ports)

I hope BlizzCon actually announced something that isn't an expansion. Blizzard burned me bad though - I pre-ordered Warcraft 3 Reforged on the promise of new cutscenes, retcons to match WoW lore, and overall massive enhancements to the original game, and what I didn't realize until I started playing was that they decided to quietly cut all of that to save costs. And the worst part? They lied about it - instead of just saying we had to scale back our ambitions they pushed it onto the gamers, saying the feedback was to keep the game exactly as is.

Extremely dishonest to blame the consumer instead of just being transparent.
