I don't have strong feelings about it.
Neither game appealed to me.
If they ever get sales on the 10 to 15 euro on the coming years, i might give them a try.

1.3Gigs just for receits?! 😑

Looks like another flop to me. Generic team shooter.
When has one been sucessful of late? I feel like most have flopped in the last years. They keep making them though, hoping it will stick on the wall.

Won't work unless it's independant. The youtuber reviewers would just send their minions to go skew the results.
I wish i could downvote the likes of skillup to oblivion. Worst reviewer ever. An actual liar. Farms hate and negativity for engagement.

Yeah, there was a lot of hype with this one, but the end result was shockingly flawed.
It's still an insane amount of sales, but it will probably not gonna be beating world and rise.
Shockingly means the series is officially in decline, even if still huge.
I still think there is major growth potential if they don't put their foot in their mouth. Wilds has no doubt made some damage though.

Hopefully the next entry uses switch 2 as it's base and we get a great performing game.

I think a switch 2 + ps5 + pc launch will beat these numbers.

With that said... rumor is that wilds may still release on switch 2. Though i dunno how, given how badly it performs.

@QiaraIris Well, i answered but you still weren't happy. So, i dunno what more i can do to help. The boundaries between remake and remaster have been in flux and all we know of this remaster is that it's being made on unreal engine 5.
The original wasn't in unreal engine, that's for sure. So... port and remaster? Remake? You pick.
It's kind of like the Oblivion remaster. It used physics from gamebryo but it was on unreal engine 5. It felt more like a remake than a remaster to me. 🤷‍♂️

It's difficult to say. I was expecting game awards or the microsoft conference, but it was on neither one. So, i don't know what sort of timing they are going with.

@QiaraIris Then why are you asking if you already know? 😅
I think we haven't seen enough to know for sure yet, but they are calling it a remaster. Doesn't mean they won't have changes, cause it looks like a new game from ground up and not a mask on top of the old game. More a recreation. So, i expect there will be minor changes cause of it. But, really, all we have are a few seconds of footage. It's difficult to tell.

@QiaraIris It's very difficult to make the distinction these days.

I don't think we've seen enough to be able to tell. We saw upgraded graphics. The stages and moves are expected to be the same, but they might be adding more.

Has anyone considered that it might not be another "Re"?😅

Good. I was my favourite with RE2. I am looking forward to seeing it updated.

Well... it's still one of the better Rayman games.

With rewind it would alleviate the difficulty issues.

Yeah, this is a nothing burger.

I most certainly ain't gonna to criticise a man i don't know based on internet rumours rather than facts. SEGA has removed actors before cause of it, so i think if they didn't it's cause there is something fishy going on with this "outrage".
The street is a bug/oversight and will likely be fixed.

Anyone that actually played the ps3 version knows this is a vast improvement. People need to go touch grass.

Didn't MH Wilds sell 10m?
That means CoD sold less than that.

Tbh i like it. It has an endearing 90's vibe.

I'm intrigued.
It shows a lot of promise, but it can also be just a huge game padded with boring tasks like most open worlds.

I really really just want time to not pass at the same pace in the games as it does in the real world. It's depressing.
Resident evil does the same and i hate it.

@StitchJones The game is done. There haven't been patches in ages.
It's totally playable though. I spent my 100 hours with it and had a great time.
The shivering isles dlc makes the playthrough worthwhile on it's own. That's probably the best dlc bethesda has ever done. Very original and memorable.
Yeah, performance is spotty here and there, but it's always been with Bethesda games.

@AverageGamer Dude, i'm older than you. Those are managerial issues that are causing those dev cycles. Making AI do the work is just gonna make the games buggier, broken and less original.
You can see a result in the new Fatal fury city of the wolves season 2 trailer. That is the result of AI. Is that really an improvement? Or is it slop?
I don't see the point of getting delivered uninspired slop. It will just make me lose interest in the games. AI can't really do what these guys are trying to sell.

Not really.
I prefer to wait and get a good game than have slop come out more often.

Would could you not? Have they not seen how Star wars the old republic turned out at launch?
I know EA is very responsible for this as well, but doing a multiplayer online game without an established IP has been folly even back then. When chasing trends execs forget to see market saturation. They just see dream money.

A trashy AI trailer, but the content itself is good. 1 character a month is certainly impressive.

Uff... the Switch 2 is selling like crazy there.

I don't know the PS4 pro numbers there, but the PS5 might surpass the PS4. This gen is still gonna be around for a few more years.

Another WoW killer bites the dust.

Doing it with a new IP was certainly a choice. If one wants to get into the MMORPG space these days, you need an established IP.

It's an incredibly atmospheric game series. Great to see it back.
I enjoying playing them on the mega drive mini 2.
People need to calm down. The difficulty was a thing of the time to stop renting.
They will rebalance it or give the tools to deal with it.

Lol the guy that plays Thor in the game will play Kratos. 🤣

@Angelus3K I did. But i have a lot on my backlog and i must triage. Besides, the remakes are here. I can allocate that time for the remakes instead.

@Angelus3K I tried before and i got bored. I don't like the combat mix with tactics gameplay nor am i enthused by portraits talking to each other. I'm not a great fan of the chi-bi sprites either.
I am sure the games are great if you're willing to look past that. It made me lose interest though.

Let's see if the new version of Starfield finally shows up.

I've been a fan of initial D and FM ghost and this is hitting that. I need to look up if it's any good though.
Given that we haven't gotten the most recent initial D games (thanks sega), this may be an interesting alternative if it's good.

I have been collecting trails games, but i have actually been stalled in cold steel 3 for years. I know i will enjoy them. Just need to decide to commit to playing them again. In the meanwhiile, i collect the entries.
The remakes have posed a conundrum too because i couldn't get myself to play the old chi-bi games and the remakes are perfect to catch up on sky and crossbell, so i kind of want to wait to play them first and go on this epic trails run. 😅

I would be more excited if i didn't know that Fallout 5 is still 10 years away.

Oh i do hope it's more interesting than the netflix animated series.
Ah wait... this is the sophie turner one? Yeah... i am already desinterested.

Surely that is a teaser for things to come.
They know R. Mika, Ibuki and Karin sell. I wouldn't be surprised to see them added in the next season pass.
I would be more pressed to believe this was miscommunication between departments.

Is there even a market for these things anymore?
It just feels like the games get swarmed with tourists for 2 weeks and then everyone leaves.
I have doubts that there are many regular players left for new games. Everyone will just revert to their usual.
New IP's ain't gonna work at this point. You need an established IP. It's like mmorpg's back in the day.

I think Playstation studios has made it pretty clear they are only interested in AAA stuff.
Otherwise, we'd have a new Wild Arms by now.

The hope for FFT2 is alive. Fingers crossed.

@armondo36 Let me present to you, Persona 5 Strikers.

It was sh*t. Maybe i am being harsh, because it can still be enjoyable, but it's missing something that makes it click.

Also, aren't people kicking up a storm over RPG series going action based? It's like i said on my above post. Make a new IP. Then people's expectations won't get in the way.

All i'm gonna say is to do it in a new IP.

If you do it in established IP, fans will get mad an raise a s**t storm that will harm game sales.

Surely will be on ps4 as well.

@ShadowofSparta Yeah, because better is on the table. It's a niche series. That it got a remake at all is a miracle in itself. Forever entertainment likely took on the risk on making this as well. I doubt Squeenix financed it, they just licenced it.
I played the demo. It's perfectly serviceable and an upgrade over the PS1 graphics. Stop the exaggeration. You only have a choice here. Get a version with better graphics or don't. There is no world in which we are getting a better remake.

@PuppetMaster I just think some people sweat the little things too much.
Not every game is gonna get the AAA treatment. It's something we gotta accept and look at the positives.

I am sure the remakes are perfectly serviceable, especially when there is little in the way of alternative. People really need to stop exaggerating. If anything, here we are talking about front mission, a largely forgotten series. In this risk averse industry that only wants the big money makers, it's a miracle that games like this get remade.

With that said, it's on forever entainment to deliver technicly stable products.

I like it, but they wrote themselves into a corner after V3.

That is why they are making the other version of 2 on the remake, i am guessing. They may just create a new timeline and carry on with that one.

Sigh... i wish SEGA would release a collection of these model 2 and 3 racers with wheel support.

@MrStark Asseto corsa games exist and are on playstation. They are praised as the best sims out there and are on heavy discount regularly.
Microsoft killed Forza motorsport cause they weren't happy with sales. Maybe they were very popular back in the 360 era, but those days are past. I would love to see motorsport on ps5, but alas.

What Gran turismo does well is being less intimidating an entry point than Asseto corsa. It has lots of single player content, regular free updates and it looks and runs well.
I think this is simply the players rewarding what is a meaty game.
If Gran turismo released on PC, it would probably blow the other sims out of the water as well in terms of popularity. But, that does not help the Playstation hardware.

Good for them. I have been thinking about getting it myself, now that i got my DD wheel.
But, i am quite busy with the games i have already (WRC gen, EA WRC and grid legends). I don't feel like i would have the time to tackle such a monster. But, it is tempting.

@Jammer the worst paid devs there make 90-100k dollars a year, the best paid up to 200k (google it). Wether you consider that good or bad is up to you. But, it's a 400 person studio (insomniac is 450 for comparison). We can ballpark these studios cost 40-50m a year to keep open.
In the same 6 years since TLOU2, insomniac will have released released 4 new games and a remaster. Naughty dog released 2 remasters.
I hope you understand why they aren't in the best of positions atm. Missing milestones in the new project at this time would make sony very nervous, if they aren't already.

They should remake zero, but include the important parts of Sky 3rd in a playable prologue.
I think they got a nice thing going here and it's good to keep focus and pace and skip what isn't on the same level.
Just make zero an even better entry by including what's needed from 3rd.

So... we should rewatch it in 10 years? Ok i'll keep a note of it.

In all seriousness, i dislike it. This is content that should be in the games, not in a TV show.
