@TDHorizon I would play them, get bored of them and rarely complete them. I like having something to aim for and trophies give me that.

I'm gonna come in with a different point of view as everyone so far seems to "not care about trophies". I can tell you a large part of the player base do care.

For me, there's no point playing a game that doesn't have a trophy or achievement system because I like to track what I've completed, what I haven't and the progress I've made. It's why I haven't got a Switch. It makes me complete games I would have previously given up on and makes me explore parts of the game the developers put effort into that never would have been found by me naturally. There are so many positives to having the system in place.

I'm also not going to rag on the crowd that don't care for them, if you just want to enjoy games then more power to you I think that's great. But don't look down on people that do like trophies and the experience that it brings.

Not to mention the fact that it got rid of the "completed it mate" gang because no mate, no you haven't, I can see from your profile you haven't. So there...

Am I the only one that's totally confused canon wise? Why are they continuing on from Underworld? And why do the Laras in both games here look different? Totally different logos as well. It's confusing, should have just had these as two new games in a new canon and left it at that.

I understand one is a remake of the original TR, but that doesn't mean it can't be a new canon with the new graphics etc, even if it follows the old canon closely.

@PuppetMaster I see where you're coming from to an extent but the story not making sense actually gives more reason for a reboot.

Also you have said that this will have a new canon, but we have a returning Leon Kennedy and I'll be surprised if we don't see Mr Redfield as he turns up everywhere.

A reboot doesn't necessarily mean we have to abandon the characters, it just gives the developers a chance to put a different spin on them for a modern audience.

Look how many times DC has been rebooted. That still reels in the cash.

@PuppetMaster Sure thing. The story since 5 has been absolutely atrocious. It's so far removed from what the original game was supposed to be. No doubt Requiem will involve fighting goo at some point again. Boring. Give me a gritty, Resident Evil horror that takes it back to its roots with a new canon. It's entering into Terminator territory in terms of linking new games to an old story and it making less sense with each iteration.

The remakes are cool though. 2,3,4 all brought into the modern age. If they do 0,1 and Code Veronica I'll be a happy man.

If ever there was a series that would benefit from a full reboot it's this one.

@nessisonett I agree with this, even if it was done as a daily highlight on the store, just to bring a game to someone's attention whether they wishlist it, buy it or whatever. It would also give people an excuse to check the store every day. Loads of good games probably get missed because people simply aren't aware of them.

@nessisonett I don't understand how people go through controllers like they're going out of fashion. I've had the same two for 5 years with absolutely no issue whatsoever and I play a decent amount. What are you doing to them haha

8/15, nightmare.

@get2sammyb That's always a nightmare when you buy a game, don't play it, then it's free. Happened to me more times than I can count.

I'm absolutely not a fan of multiplayer, especially due to the amount of ridiculous trophies it usually brings, so this is welcome news. Can't wait to platinum the game, shame I'll never say that about Gears of War.

I completely agree because all I want to do is play Majora's Mask on my PS5 tbh. And have a glorious platinum trophy for it to boot.

I got the Platinum for the first game, thought it was brilliant, didn't understand the hate to be honest. As someone that grew up completing Banjo Kazooie over and over again it was like having a bunch of Member Berries.

Just got the remaster last night, love it just as much and now there's even more to do! Happy days. My one criticism would be I wish they hadn't changed the fonts from the classic BK style.

Just as long as they don't include the older online trophies like Gears of War Reloaded did. I was looking forward to that game but I just can't bring myself to do the grind.

This will break every sales record in video game history. Probably in record time. The hype is very real.

Waiting for all the obligatory patches and sale price.

@LiamCroft, what is the trophy situation like?

@Toot1st Aye my mistake they all must be jumping for joy.

I feel sorry for all the people losing their jobs, going through redundancy is never good, especially when the people in charge will brag about record profits in due course.

The sad thing for the gaming world is the amount of ips that are about to lay dormant.

It works now it would seem, you have to select a version of the game that comes up as free to purchase. I did it from the library section on PS5.

The wishlist is one of the best features that's been added to this generation. Any game I want to play is in there, I can track prices, release dates, much easier than scrolling through the store or manually editing a spreadsheet. It gets checked every Wednesday for new sale prices and the app gives you a notification if a game in your list goes on sale.

It also means I see none of the AI slop that people moan about.

Am I the only one wondering why people aren't just calling it Expedition 33?

Until you unlock the triple nozzle we all know the only useful one was yellow.

It's in my top 3 games of all time. Absolute masterpiece. Not afraid to go as dark as it needed to and didn't shy away from anything. Turned two protagonists into antagonists for me and it was such a brilliant, thought-provoking story. #TeamAbby

I would hope Part 3 follows both Abby and Ellie on their separate journeys, they address the Firefly resurgence and I think a perfect ending would be Ellie finally giving her life for a vaccine. It would turn her back from antagonist to protagonist and would be a full circle moment. But that's just me.

@dskatter Unfortunately yeah, I don't see the point in putting all the effort in for a rogue trophy to ruin it. If it's the case, I'll just watch other playthroughs on YT instead. 70 notes saved innit.

I hope there are no online trophies otherwise they’ve lost a sale. Online doesn’t need to be in every game.

I didn't mind the first series but this series has been abysmal. I think the pacing has been off, the rearranging of scenes has been detrimental to the impact of the overall story and the acting hasn't been great. Can only hope things will improve seeing Abby's side of the story but I doubt it.

At least we have the games. Last of Us II is in my top 3 of all time.

So annoying that you can't stack subscriptions anymore.

I hope they let you watch it with the original recording.

Wow, is that how long it's been in my backlog...

The push for physical media seems to come from the loudest minority. Sales prove that people prefer digital and while a game probably should come playable on the disc without the need for download, times have changed and I'm not sure why you expected anything different.

@JVCIOM70 Ellie didn't have any redeeming qualities in the game either. I couldn't be more Team Abby.

I absolutely use the wishlist for games I want to play and leave them there until the sales are on. Not sure why some seem to be against this...it saves sifting through all the rubbish every week. Bought quite a few lately which cleared quite a bit of space for me. I've run out of space a couple of times too because I wishlist each version because sometimes one version goes on sale and the other doesn't etc.

That's brilliant news if multiplayer is not involved. Means I'll be able to go for the Platinum trophies with no stress or boosting. Love these remasters that drop the MP aspect.

I'm looking forward to this I absolutely loved the original

Genuinely annoys me how bad Ocelot looks.

I pre-ordered a PS Portal this morning. Never had one before and I thought this would be a good time to jump on the bandwagon. I was a bit surprised there was no article when it first went up. It was actually available from 10am UK time on PS Direct as well from what I saw.

Are these gonna be available on Amazon do we know? Got a voucher burning a hole in my pocket.

99% of the time I put it in rest mode.

@PeaceSalad This. Trophies are huge to some people, personally I won't play a game if the trophy list looks to be too much of a nightmare. I've passed on many because of that. If I ever do get a game with online trophies I aim to knock them out first so I can then concentrate on the single player. But I don't see the point of playing a game nowadays if I don't have a virtual trinket to tell everyone where I'm up to with it. The reason I don't have a Switch is because there's no achievement / trophy system on Nintendo.

@Blackbeard Yeah that's what I do and what I failed to mention in my original comment. I play the sales game tbf and rarely buy on release. My point with this is that the discounts on these sales are usually far lower than physical games ever go price wise.

@Pat_trick

"Have you heard of The Crew?"

Doesn't wait for an answer:

"The fact you know nothing about it..."

Hahaha yeah OK pal. It was released on disc too which makes said disc completely useless so I don't know what your point is.

Also, sales trends agree with me which would suggest I do actually know more about the general audience than you do. People who buy physical are in the minority.

@MrPeanutbutterz Agree mate, that's why I said it's just my experience in my second comment. And fair enough I'd completely neglected the fact that a lot of people resell their games.

@IntrepidWombat I don't think there's a lot of physical media that appreciates nowadays to be honest. Maybe the odd thing but not as much as it used to certainly.

@DonJorginho I should have mentioned I rarely play a game on release and wait for a deal on them. 99% of the time, digital ends up cheaper than second hand physical, never mind new. This is just my experience of course.

I'm not entirely sure why people hold physical media in such high regard. I've made the move to digital long ago, it's so much cheaper and I don't have to find a space for it to all gather dust. Yes it could shut down at any time, but what's the likelihood of that happening really?

So glad I didn't read about it before it happened. That was a pure 100% grade shot of nostalgia right there.

I absolutely love the Lego games and this would have been brilliant. Absolutely baffled at the negativity in the comments here.

Would also love to see a Doctor Who rendition. Both franchises have a plethora of content to draw from.

@Octaslasher Apart from the fact that trophies have been added for other games on the service. Timesplitters, Toy Story 2, Syphon Filter etc.

No trophies. No purchase. No point.

I actually really liked the Vita. Still play it to this day, but I have to say the addition of a handheld that can play any game from your collection natively really appeals to me, especially as a predominantly digital collector of games.
