I wouldn't expect any on foot action. Outside of wandering around a port so you can show of your latest purchased outfits and emotes/dances, I doubt we'll be leaving the wheel of the ship often.
I agree, that era had tons of great AA games, which is where I would put this game.
Everything is so cookie cutter these days In regards to AAA games. I definitely feel a drastic drop in odd yet fun games like we had on the 360/PS3. The best we have now are indie games.
I never knew Gears 3 was in development for the PS3. I dont recall when Xbox purchased the series, but I thought they always had it locked down with publishing rights alone.
Oh well, it likely would have been inferior like most 3rd party games on the PS3. The Cell really screwed that console over. I did love my PS3 and it's excellent exclusives though.
I often wondered if 3rd party publishers/developers just didn't want to put the time and money into making their games equal across the board or if the Cell was that notoriously difficult to develop games on.
I have nearly zero interest in any Fromsoft games. I tried Bloodborne because the setting seemed interesting, but that lasted all of a couple hours.
I tried Elden Ring, and I fell off that even quicker than Bloodborne. I get why people like it, but I feel it's the new overrated "best game of all time!" Basically, it's the new BotW. 🙄
I will say, I gave Sekiro a try and I actually had a blast playing it, a huge shock to me as I dont like soulslike games, but there was just something about it that was much better than the rest.
Ultimately I gave up as well due to the difficulty. A games difficulty doesn't make it a better game, and I'm getting too old to put in the time to "Git Gud!" anyway. I no longer play games for a challenge, I play them for stress relief and just pure enjoyment.
That's horrifying! Normally I would worry about things like that to a point, but could begrudgingly replace the console. With the PS5 still being nigh impossible to aquire, I dread anything happening to mine as it would be too hard to replace.
This game is going to be horrible, I can just feel it. Ubisoft already had the formula with Black Flag, I don't know how they could have messed this up so badly. 🤦♂️
Yeah, I have lots of PS3 games to finish. I packed it away not long after the PS4 released. I just don't have the room to have more than 3 consoles out with my setup. So it's the PS5, Series X, and Switch.
Awesome, I'll look into it. I'm not into going to crowded places just yet. I already had covid once. I was lucky and it wasn't bad. But missing out on 10 days of pay sucked because of company isolation policies. I really don't want that again.
Isn't ECCO on Nintendo Switch Online's overpriced expansion pass, with a rewind feature? I'm not paying Nintendo for the expansion pass, no value for me, but I'd love e to play ECCO with a rewind feature. Maybe then I could actually beat it. Haha
A Dualsense Pro controller with back buttons? Or at least another back button attachment? The PS4 back button attachment really spoiled me, I'd take back buttons over adaptive triggers.
I've rarely used the adaptive triggers feature since my right trigger spring broke on the first day I tried it out. I wasnt really fond of it to be honest. I've also been afraid to use it again because the Dualsense has already given me issues.
First the trigger spring broke, which Sony seems to have quietly fixed? Apparently new model controllers have a thicker trigger spring. Then my 2nd brand new controller had major stick drift out of the box. Seriously, why is stick drift even a problem? I've never experienced drift until the latest console generation.
Never had drift on anything prior to the Switch and PS5. Even my PS3 and 360 sticks work perfectly. 🤦♂️🤷♂️ I've heard the Xbox Elite controllers have bad stick drift issues. I would be livid if that was the case due to their high price point.
One would hope, but Sony doesnt seem interested unfortunately.
Elsewhere? Most of Naughty Dogs games have been remastered. Aside from Crash/Jake & Daxter. I'd love full remakes of the Jak and Daxter trilogy.
I was thinking of a remastered Resistance: Fall of Man Trilogy. Only the 3rd game is even playable on PS Now...err...PS Plus Premium?
I'd also love full remakes of the original
God of War trilogy.
I'm not a big Metal Gear fan, I did really enjoy MG3: Snake Eater and most of MG4, which seems forever stuck on the PS3.
Even some remasters just to bring them out of the PS3 prison. Like the Sly Cooper collection, the Ratchet and Clank Future games, Killzone 2 & 3, 3D Dot Game Heroes, Folklore, Echochrome, etc.
Honestly, backwards compatibility would fix most of these issues, Sony really screwed up with the PS3 despite the great things about it. The cell processor was more of a hindrance to the PS3 than anything. It still is. 😑
I mean it's cool to get a remaster of TLoU, but it still looks great. I'd have been fine with some updates like 60fps and such. It just seems like a waste of effort to me. But I'm obviously wrong going by the sales already.
I just have so many more games I'd have chosen to get remade over TLoU. Particularly a bunch of PS3 games since they're unfortunately locked to that system seemingly forever.
Yep, I've never had stick drift on ANY controller until the Switch and PS5.
My Switch left joycon drift is atrocious!
As for my Dualsense, my first one broke its right trigger after one day of trying out the haptic triggers. I did NOT aggressively pull on the trigger. I actually don't like the feature, but apparently the spring either broke or dislodged.
So I grab my second brand new Dualsense that was a backup or for co-op games. Right out of the box, pretty bad stick drift on the left analog stick.
I'm really getting tired of all the shoddy build quality of today's electronics.
I'm aware of that, and I won't be buying it. I still feel it's a waste of resources that could have been used to make something new, or remake/remaster something that actually would have benefited more. 🤷♂️
Exactly! Also, what ever happened to the AAAA studio they bragged about?
Microsoft had an entire generation to bolster their 1st party studios and create new franchises. They didn't, and as a result, all they could do is throw their money around and push GamePass and buy massive 3rd part publishers to basically steal exclusives. 🙄
This remake is unnecessary as it's already been remastered once before. I'm not surprised though. It's been clear all along that it's the vocal "minority" that are against the BS that the games industry has been pulling for years.
The vast majority seem to have no problem with getting fleeced ad nauseum.
Oh well, this hobby is becoming easier and easier to just ignore every passing year.
I've never really been a fan of Final Fantasy. I've only ever beat one FF game, and it was FF: Mystic Quest. Haters be damned, I don't care if they consider it baby's first FF game, I Ioved it. It actually was my first JRPG. To this day it still has one of the best video game soundtracks to date.
That said, this FF actually looks intriguing. Enemies like Trolls and a Beholder, or at least inspired by them, and it seems like a FF game borrowing from western RPG's.
The combat, at least in the trailer with no visible hud, actually gave me a Platinum Games action game vibe. I'm down with that.
I'm not a fan of the hybrid combat systems in JRPG's lately. Either give me straight turn based like the classic JRPG's, or give me full on action game controls.
For the first time, I'm actually interested in 2 games from Square Enix that aren't Tomb Raider or Deus Ex. Forspoken, and possibly FF16. I glad Square sold of most of their western studios and IP's too! I hope they get the support they truly deserve)
I'm not into fighting games but enjoyed Mortal Kombat and Street Fight 2 back in the day, so this isn't an issue for me.
I do have a major issue with any form of entertainment media drip feeding information though. It's grown extremely annoying and i hate it. Case in point: Teaser trailers for reveal trailers, or worse yet; teaser trailers for teaser trailers teasing a reveal trailer.
Really?!? 🙄🤦♂️😡
If any industry drip feeds info these days, I just ignore most related info until the product is released and public impressions are out.
I find instances like Bethesda surprise dropping Fallout 4, showing a ton of footage while releasing lots of info and especially a release date that is months away to be refreshing. I feel this is the way media, particularly video games, should handle reveals from here on out.
Drip feeding info ends up making me care less about a games release. Sometimes to the point that I'm sick of it and have lost all interest even playing said game before it ever does release.
I've barely ever used GamePass, I own about everything on it that would interest me already, but to get ? years of GamePass for a single $1? (I had 3 personally)
That was the best deal ever in gaming.
I just wish I didn't already own everything of interest so I could have taken more advantage of the deal. 🤷♂️
Sony on the other hand? 🙄🤦♂️
Seriously, all the big 3 are on an endless cycle of for the players, screw the players, make it up to the players, ad nauseum.
On generation they're on top, then they get overconfident the next generation and spend the entire generation trying to get back into the good graces of gamers/consumers, and then boom! The dunces pull a 180. 🤦♂️
It could be because they're small studios as well. Kena already makes little use of the Dualsense from what I can recall. Plus, it's from a studio that originally created CG animation and Kena is their first stab at making a game. They've done a much better job than at of first time developers in my opinion.
Nice, I await the patch to remove the roguelike parts of the game. I've no desire to "Git Gud" anymore. I have limited time in my week to enjoy my gaming time, so now I can see this interesting world and story through in a more manageable way.
That's the nice thing about gaming on PC even though I rarely do. Gamers like me can enjoy the game how we want, and everybody else can enjoy it the way the devs desired it to be.
I just wish the Vanquish remaster was handled better. It barely looks noticeable, and 60 FPS wasn't enough to make me bite when I can rust replay the original on the 360.
I'd love another game like Vanquish from Platinum though.
Skies of Arcadia is always mentioned at times like these, and for good reason. I want a remake or sequel!
I'd also like to see ECCO the Dolphin return.
After having such a blast playing Maneater, it's clear that a new ECCO is needed! Heck, just ask the Maneater devs to make it. They've already got the talent.
Unless the next Just Cause has co-op, I wouldn't care anyway.
While I've always enjoyed the series, it's hardly improved over the years. I primarily played them to mess around in the world and make my own fun. After 4 games of that, it's just no longer fun to do solo.
I'd wager that's EXACTLY what most people wanted. Ubisoft is clueless, and they just don't care. They're all about pushing for live service games filled with micro-transactions, boosters, and NFT b*ll sh*t. 🙄
Ubisoft basically took everything that was great and loved in Black Flag, tossed it overboard, and turned a great idea into a bland looking Live Service PvP centric game that will more than likely be filled to the brim with micro-transactions, boosters, and their BS Ubisoft Quartz NFT crap.
I'm just losing more and more interest in this hobby by the day. The AAA games industry is continuing its downward spiral for me. I'm spending vastly more of my limited gaming time on indie games or just smaller scale games. Games where jist making a FUN gaming experience is the tip priority, not how much revenue can be squeezed out of a game.
Well that's a bit better than expected. I was able to grab PSNow at the $60 price point before Sony blocked it. My PS Plus is good until December 2025.
I still expect the service to be as exciting as PS Plus is currently...in other words, lame, but I guess we'll see soon enough.
My major criticism of GoW 2018 is the enemy variety. Perhaps Norse mythology just has less creatures to go off of compared to Greek mythology, bit I certainly hope we get a mogger roster of unique enemies in GoW Ragnarök.
As of now, it's **Horizon Forbidden West**. I also want to help it beat out Elden Ring. Haha
Runner up would be **Dying Light 2**.
However, I stopped playing until Techland puts cross-gen co-op back into the game.
3rd place is **Ghostwire Tokyo**
I've been having a blast with it. I love the setting, I love the traversal mechanics despite them being a bit touchy, and the idea of combat is great, it's just a bit too basic unfortunately.
Where is '**Nobody Saves the World**' or '**Death's Door**' in the list?
I binged a whole day of **Nobody Saves the World** this weekend, it's a lot of fun. We'll, until they introduced the ward mechanic, I find it a tad annoying so far. That, and the enemies auto leveling up with you. I wish that was optional. Sometimes I want that, other times I like to overlevel and steamroller through enemies like a boss.
I'm playing on the PS5, and I've seen none so far. However, my brother is playing on PS4 and he says he has lots of issues, and lots of slowdown making simple actions game breaking.
Yeah, in that regard, I'd say it was a worthy trade. Thankfully Sony didn't end up making that horrible boomerang PS3 controller though. HA
As for the Dualsense, it could be my favorite controller ever, IF Sony does a few tweaks.
First, and it seems they have done so already if you get one of the newer colored controllers, which would be strengthening the springs in the haptic triggers. I already had the right trigger spring break within the first 6 months of use, and I barely used any pressure. At first I didn't even like the feature. I think I first used it extensively when Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart released and also in Deathloop. Now I don't know if the spring actually broke or just popped loose, but either way, I'm already worried about poor build quality of the Dualsense like the Dualshock 4. I have gone through about half a dozen Dualshock 4 controllers, yet still have all my original controllers for every other system I've ever owned and they all work flawlessly. Well, Joy-con aside. -_-
Second, fix stick drift. My second Dualsense that came with my console had stick drift right out of the box.
Third, release an elite version with back paddles, preferably 4 buttons. I never bothered buying expensive 3rd party "Pro" gamepads, but I did buy the back button attachment for the Dualshock 4. Once I became used to it, there really is no going back. I actually hated using my Dualsense when I first bought my PS5 because they lacked any back buttons.
I'd honestly have to go log on my PS3 to find out just how many there are, but I do have a decent amount of PS3 and 360 games that I never finished but would like to.

Re: PS Plus, PS Now Members Will Be Upgraded to PS Plus Premium for the Duration of Their Longest Subscription
Well that's a bit better than expected. I was able to grab PSNow at the $60 price point before Sony blocked it. My PS Plus is good until December 2025.
I still expect the service to be as exciting as PS Plus is currently...in other words, lame, but I guess we'll see soon enough.
Re: PS Plus May 2022 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
Lame! But this is expected now, PS Plus has been crap for a long time now.
Re: Poll: As God of War Turns Four, What Would You Rate It Today?
@ShogunRok
My major criticism of GoW 2018 is the enemy variety. Perhaps Norse mythology just has less creatures to go off of compared to Greek mythology, bit I certainly hope we get a mogger roster of unique enemies in GoW Ragnarök.
Re: Poll: What's Your PS5, PS4 Game of the Year So Far?
As of now, it's **Horizon Forbidden West**. I also want to help it beat out Elden Ring. Haha
Runner up would be **Dying Light 2**.
However, I stopped playing until Techland puts cross-gen co-op back into the game.
3rd place is **Ghostwire Tokyo**
I've been having a blast with it. I love the setting, I love the traversal mechanics despite them being a bit touchy, and the idea of combat is great, it's just a bit too basic unfortunately.
Where is '**Nobody Saves the World**' or '**Death's Door**' in the list?
I binged a whole day of **Nobody Saves the World** this weekend, it's a lot of fun. We'll, until they introduced the ward mechanic, I find it a tad annoying so far. That, and the enemies auto leveling up with you. I wish that was optional. Sometimes I want that, other times I like to overlevel and steamroller through enemies like a boss.
Re: PS Plus Deal Devastates Oddworld: Soulstorm Developer
I didn't think it was a very good game for starters, so that could have something to do with it.
Oddworld: Strangers Wrath is the only game in the series I like. I think it would have been better to work on its planned sequel instead.
Re: Sony Updating PS Plus Policies After Auto-Renewal Investigation
Good to see this change, thanks to the UK for this, the US never would have done anything about it. 😑
Re: Horizon Forbidden West Patch 1.11 Out Now, Here Are the Patch Notes
@LN78
I'm playing on the PS5, and I've seen none so far. However, my brother is playing on PS4 and he says he has lots of issues, and lots of slowdown making simple actions game breaking.

I have great internet, and I still don't want to stream games. I will never play games via streaming.
Re: PS Plus, PS Now Merged Service Revealed, Goes Live in June
@Titntin
Yeah, in that regard, I'd say it was a worthy trade. Thankfully Sony didn't end up making that horrible boomerang PS3 controller though. HA
As for the Dualsense, it could be my favorite controller ever, IF Sony does a few tweaks.
First, and it seems they have done so already if you get one of the newer colored controllers, which would be strengthening the springs in the haptic triggers. I already had the right trigger spring break within the first 6 months of use, and I barely used any pressure. At first I didn't even like the feature. I think I first used it extensively when Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart released and also in Deathloop. Now I don't know if the spring actually broke or just popped loose, but either way, I'm already worried about poor build quality of the Dualsense like the Dualshock 4. I have gone through about half a dozen Dualshock 4 controllers, yet still have all my original controllers for every other system I've ever owned and they all work flawlessly. Well, Joy-con aside. -_-
Second, fix stick drift. My second Dualsense that came with my console had stick drift right out of the box.
Third, release an elite version with back paddles, preferably 4 buttons. I never bothered buying expensive 3rd party "Pro" gamepads, but I did buy the back button attachment for the Dualshock 4. Once I became used to it, there really is no going back. I actually hated using my Dualsense when I first bought my PS5 because they lacked any back buttons.

@Apfelschteiner
I'd honestly have to go log on my PS3 to find out just how many there are, but I do have a decent amount of PS3 and 360 games that I never finished but would like to.
