@wildcat_kickz I'm loving that you used Hitchcock as an example because I would liken TLOU on PS5 to Psycho with Vince Vaughan. An almost shot for shot copy of the original Anthony Perkins movie. Same dialogue. Same scenes. Same soundtrack.
@wildcat_kickz But, seeing as we're here, I still believe that a remaster is polishing the original content to look or sound better and a remake is creating something new with the same spirit of the original content.
Resident Evil 2 is a remake of the PS1 original. Whereas The Last of Us Part 1 is a remaster of the PS3 original.
@MrPeanutbutterz If it was digital only it would be a great entry point to the PlayStation ecosystem. At Β£99/$99 and having access to the PS4 library, I'd buy one for a start. So that's at least one sale. π
@Romans12 This site tends to focus on PlayStation. Unless it's negative articles about Xbox hardware sales. Or negative articles about Xbox games. Or Xbox games they desperately want. π
@Americansamurai1 I get what you're saying but I think the whole "Japanese Gamers Only Want Handhelds" is a myth. Yes there's a huge handheld market in Japan. But that has always been true (since Game Boy) and doesn't tell the whole story.
Japan likes good games. The Switch and Switch 2 are blessed with so many games that cater to everyone. That's something PlayStation used to have but doesn't anymore.
I have never played my Switch in handheld mode and it's probably one of my favourite systems ever because of the games. So many PS4/PS5 Japanese style games are built with Switch as the main platform and THEN ported to PlayStation and Xbox.
@Americansamurai1 But PSP still sold massively less than Nintendo DS and (unfortunately) PS VITA sold even less. Despite the fact the Vita is one of the most impressive systems ever made. Sony should have supported that more. π₯
I genuinely don't think think that Sony want to be making PlayStation consoles after the PS6. Therefore they will need some kind of PC presence to ensure they can transition to a hardware agnostic future.
Resident Evil Village and RE4 in VR are worth the price of the headset alone in my opinion. I own an absolute bucket load of games for my PSVR2 but I'm still so annoyed how Sony just dropped it like a stone.
So many first party PSVR1 games could have received upgrades/remakes and they would have sold. It would have been such an easy win.
PS5 has been, by far, my least favourite PlayStation generation. The hardware has been overpriced, the games underwhelming and Sony's support for my beloved PSVR2 has been atrocious. Plus I'm still annoyed at needing to pay for cloud saves.
But it has been incredibly successful for Sony so my complaints won't mean a thing.
Does nobody see what's happening??? Microsoft are making what will be millions from your purchases of Halo. Do you actually think that Xbox cares that you cuddle your PlayStation at night? Do you genuinely believe that selling more hardware is a win?
Because when bespoke hardware becomes obsolete (and it will), who do think has the better portfolio of games?

@wildcat_kickz Absolutely was! Wait....was that sarcasm?
Re: Best Remakes and Remasters on PS5
@wildcat_kickz We're probably just talking semantics now when it comes to labelling things. I just don't think TLOU on PS5 is a remake.
Jumanji! That was a remake!

Re: Deus Ex Remastered Delayed Indefinitely Following Fan Backlash
@BrownOwl I know. But it still upsets me. Especially as Valve seemed incredibly impressed by the work done on it.
Re: Deus Ex Remastered Delayed Indefinitely Following Fan Backlash
@BrownOwl My friend has this on his PC. Such an amazing version and it's almost criminal it isn't on console. βΉοΈ
Re: Deus Ex Remastered Delayed Indefinitely Following Fan Backlash
I just want to play a remastered version of Half Life 1. It annoys me that it's stuck on PS2 (console wise).
Half Life 2 was an amazing achievement on the original Xbox and wouldn't have been possible on PS2.
I never understood why the original wasn't ported or at least, included in The Orange Box.
Re: Deus Ex Remastered Delayed Indefinitely Following Fan Backlash
I actually liked the look of the remastered version.

Re: Hogwarts Legacy, Mortal Kombat Publisher Warner Bros Bought for $82 Billion by Netflix
There are people who completely denounce acquisitions until they think that Sony should do some shopping. π
If anyone tried to make Mortal Kombat, Harry Potter or Batman games exclusive to one platform it would be an absolute travesty for the industry.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy, Mortal Kombat Publisher Warner Bros Bought for $82 Billion by Netflix
@nessisonett 100% this. I too generally tend to think that human rights violations and brutal murders are worse than anything Netflix have done.
Re: Preview: Avatar PS5 Is Transformed in Third-Person, Expanded in From the Ashes DLC

Re: Sony's All-In on Exciting PS5 Action RPG The God Slayer, Despite an Xbox Version Existing
@BrownOwl A hardware manufacturer buying exclusivity for an otherwise multi-platform game is anti-consumer.
Re: Sony's All-In on Exciting PS5 Action RPG The God Slayer, Despite an Xbox Version Existing
@BrownOwl What about games where the exclusivity is paid for? Or games where a platform holder has bought an IP?
Re: Sony's All-In on Exciting PS5 Action RPG The God Slayer, Despite an Xbox Version Existing
@BrownOwl So are you saying it's pro-consumer?
Re: Sony's All-In on Exciting PS5 Action RPG The God Slayer, Despite an Xbox Version Existing
@BrownOwl Exclusive games are anti-consumer because it requires the consumer to buy another piece of hardware to play them.
Re: Sony's All-In on Exciting PS5 Action RPG The God Slayer, Despite an Xbox Version Existing
More cross platform development/support can only be a good thing.

Re: The Room Devs Return to PSVR2 with Spooky Puzzle Thriller Ghost Town in Early December

Re: PS5 Sales in Japan Quadruple as New Model Launches
@Americansamurai1 But Sony handhelds lost heavily to the DS and 3DS in Japan. π€
Re: PS5 Sales in Japan Quadruple as New Model Launches

Re: Xbox Devs 'Thrilled' to Be Bringing Their Games to PS5
Surely every developer in the world wants as many people as possible to play their games. Creatively and financially it's a no brainer.
Apart from that guy who made Flappy Bird. But I think he had other issues going on.
