@Victor_Meldrew he admitted to it before your comment

Coming on to this article after reading through the comments section of the previous article on the matter is pretty funny. Some of you guys look really silly right now.

@BetaRabbit64 They're saying they can't play it on his PS3.

I did prefer the movie's approach to storytelling - telling an original story that takes elements from the games - as opposed to a straight adaptation of a specific preexisting plot. That might work for The Last of Us where you have the long form storytelling of television but squeezing an Uncharted game into 2 hours isn't worth the effort. Do something different with the characters.

"Let’s not beat around the bush: Shadow the Hedgehog was definitively uncool when he debuted on PS2 back in 2005."

Me when I'm a big fat liar.

@Frmknst Lego Star Wars 2005 vs The Skywalker Saga are pretty distinct I think.

Ghosthunter is a deep cut. Glad to see it.

If the new versions are actually 480p, then that's good actually. Whenever I emulate I try out higher resolutions they look pretty, but I always shift back to native res because there's always little rendering glitches when uprendering.

Maybe they could give an option for scaling? Usually they don't and you're forced with HD. Having both in an official emulator for once would be nice. Same for PS1 and PS2, let me play at the native resolution.

480p? Splendid!

Edit after playing Sly for 5 minutes: It actually does look like it's around 720p to my eyes. There has been a 2x upscale I think.

The CRT filters (Classic/Modern Arcade) look quite nice to me. Much better looking than the implementation for PS1 and PSP games (CRT filter for PSP doesn't even make sense, needs an LCD filter).

Switch version is insane but I'm all for it.

@Ludacritz Apparently this release is meant to lay the groundwork for a sequel. And the original version had some flaws so I guess they want to fix those up too.

Of course it's six episodes. TV shows now are all just 4-5 hour movies. That's just barely enough time to cover the main story, so doubt we'll get any of the side content featured. God forbid a series has some fun filler episodes.

Hopefully it's good though. Kamen Rider Drive Kiryu is cool.

This, Dynasty Warriors and MonHun were the highlights.

Putting this in a State of Play where almost everybody is watching for PS5 games was certainly a choice.

@Specky Not exactly. The HD versions have a few small issues.

@Enigk PS6 more likely. I don't see them restricting any software to a Pro console.

Why is every retro horror property getting it's own asymmetrical multiplayer game lately? Well, we know why... it's Dead by Daylight, but they would all be better off just doing a DbD collab. These games are all just flavour of the week distractions.

@The_ghostmen The only resemblance the woman in the trailer has to Lizzo is she's a woman and she's black. She's not even obese.

@Haruki_NLI Dragon Quest III is also a prequel to the first two, no?

Not a fan of some of the recent projects in this franchise having Lara being not so much of a Tomb Raider so if this is another one of those it'll be a shame.

ResetERA are late to the party on this.

@j2c I was about to say I'm pretty sure Colin talked about this a while ago. He's early on a lot of these things but people don't want to give him the credit.

@LifeGirl I think the 360's success was extremely lucky too. Remember the red ring of death. That console had a 70% failure rate for a few years, it would've been the death knell of any other product imo. That's how desirable the 360 was to people, how good those games were, and they fumbled that so hard.

@nomither6 It's interesting. Did the PS3 really launch a year late, or was the 360 a year too early? The hardware was clearly rushed, not ready for end of 2005. Early units did not even have an HDMI port, HD gaming was limited to component at 720p or 1080i, no 1080p. Speaking of which... the Xbox 360 was cheaper to buy, but was missing key features you had to buy separately - wifi, rechargeable controllers, sometimes even a hard drive. PS3 had that stuff by default, plus Blu-Ray support and also included full PS2 hardware compatibility (360 had very spotty emulation of OG Xbox games) which added a lot to the cost so it's understandable that was the first thing cut.

Was Phil Spencer not appointed the as the CEO of Microsoft Gaming? Seems weird for the source to suggest he's not responsible for any of the recent decisions.

You'd think they'd have figured this out before the approval of the acquisition. Everything about this buyout has become a disaster for Xbox.

@AhmadSumadi Happens every time this site reports anything relating to a famous person. Even mega stars like Taylor Swift will get people coming out to say "who? I've never heard their music!"

Yeah sure, you've never gone shopping? You've heard her lol.

Which part of this is new information?
