@Nepp67 There's probably a LOT of people that agree with that person but are smart enough to keep their mouth shut. I know a few people in the games industry that absolute despise Kirk.
Finished the Virtuous mission last night it seems... fine? Didn't notice any framerate issues yet. So far, I'm liking it but the new control scheme is giving me issues. Unlearning 20 years of muscle memory takes a while lol
I'm halfway through the second island and damn this game is SO MUCH EASIER with modern controls. The Tomb Raider remasters didn't fee right with modern controls but this game should have had them from the get-go. Great remaster! I just wish it included the second one which I never played before.
@Anke I'd imagine these will be separate from the main trophy list and won't be required for the platinum. Permadeath-related trophies are usually not part of the base trophy list but I could be wrong (I hope I'm not).
@belmont PS5 does update automatically but something like only your last 10 played games. I literally have never seen games need updates unless they leave my home screen.
@ShogunRok I've been playing on Balanced 40fps mode so that I can get the fancy hair effects outside of cutscenes and it's great how smooth it still feels. But the switch to Quality 30 in the hideout, and I thought the game was bugged. It's wild how big of a difference 10 fps is.
@Dalamar clearly you aren’t a victim of child abuse. Good for you. Maybe think about those who are. It’s just a warning message. Can’t imagine simple words would trigger you so badly, right? Certainly not as much as an actual victim would be…
I’m about halfway through dragon quest 3 remake and also chipping away in my assassins creed series replay (currently up to black flag). On Vita, I’m working on platinuming Tales of Hearts R and almost done with my second play through to max out my level and finish misc trophies.
Jeanne D'Arc was awesome! I definitely am going to revisit that one. That scene with the fire was truly heartwrenching and the twist was rather clever.
I played it on PS3 when they remastered it the first time and thought it was fine. It had elements of Jak & Daxter and Sly Cooper but I didn't feel it was as good as either. I never understood what the hype was about and certainly don't understand the clamor for a sequel that's been in development hell for as long as it's been. Might pick it up on sale if that sequel ever gets a release window.
I'm just glad they fixed the texture for the walls with netting that you can climb (TR2 Lara's home is the first place you see them). In the HD mode, the background and foreground were swapped and it looked really jarring.
@trev666 Sony had some new policy on PS5 where collections can't have more than 1 plat (Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection) but the fact this has no plat whatsoever is baffling.
Uncharted LoTC did have a platinum trophy tho. it was just 1 plat for both games. I don't see why there can't be a plat for all 3 TR games. That plat would be tough as nails tho!
@Savage_Joe woke means being aware of systematic oppression and discrimination. I guess sticking your head in the sand and ignoring that is preferable?
@Athrum I'd say the current Steam/mobile versions are the worst, at least for 5&6. They redid the sprites and most agree they look terrible. As long as the menus are redone so that it tells you what items do, I'll be happy. That was one QOL improvement the various ports added.
I'm assuming Square's strategy is to saturate the PC/mobile sales first, then port them to other consoles so people will double dip. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if that were true.
It’s not that a remake wouldn’t be great, it’s that it’s unnecessary. It’s too soon to remake something that still to this day looks amazing. The controls may be a bit dated by today’s standards, but we really don’t need this at all.
