I’m cautiously optimistic about the Avatar game. On one hand, totally not a fan of Ubisoft and their open world game design. On the other hand, Avatar in video game form COULD be awesome.
THPS4 was one of the first 3 games my brothers and I got with our PS2 (along with GTA Vice City and Kingdom Hearts). The soundtrack alone is stamped into my mind.
Resident Evil 7 was and still remains my favorite of the series. They really nailed it with the exploration and setting (obviously reminiscent of the original) and the fact that it really brought the horror back and made you feel underpowered.
I really liked Village as well, but it was definitely the less scary of the two.
A lot of these horror franchises would lend themselves to awesome single player survival horror games. It's a shame everyone is chasing the asymmetrical multiplayer route...
I would say that RE4 was able to toe the line between action and horror successfully, so it makes it a lot easier for Capcom to lean into the horror more with the remake.
RE5 on the other hand went full action, so it would be more difficult for them to remake the game (and introduce more horror) without it feeling like a totally, 100% different game.
@GamingFan4Lyf It would be interesting to see if it would even be possible to remake 5 and 6.
If they did, they would have to totally change the tone and gameplay loop. I liked RE5, but it was just a third person shooter at best. RE6 was the only RE I hated and couldn't bring myself to finish.
I really don’t get the hate for full remakes of old titles.
If a game was good when it was released but looks/plays very dated then why shouldn’t these companies introduce these games to a whole new generation of gamers?
I’m 28, but I’ll be the first to admit there’s a lot of older titles I didn’t get to play that I’m glad were given a full remake for me to experience (Resident Evil 2, for example).
I second this. I hope PS Studios explores different genres in regards to any new IPs from here on out. Returnal was a good first step. But let’s see a FPS game, a survival horror game, a metroidvania, a stealth game, etc.

Re: Until Dawn, The Quarry Dev Acquired by Nordisk Games
"While many still feel Supermassive Games has never managed to hit the heights of Until Dawn on PS4 in the time since 2015..."
Many, a.k.a Push Square
Re: The Devil in Me Is Classic Hotel Horror, Out for PS5, PS4 This Year
@torne I think you'll like House of Ashes. It definitely kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time.
As for their review, it was so low that the PS5 version of the game took a huge hit on Metacritic.
Re: The Devil in Me Is Classic Hotel Horror, Out for PS5, PS4 This Year
After the amazing House of Ashes and the underrated (especially by PushSquare) The Quarry, I'm very excited for this.
Re: God of War Ragnarok Release Date Confirmed for 9th November
@Amusei 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Re: Ubisoft Forward Showcase Set for 10th September, Featuring Assassin's Creed and More
I'd love for Ubisoft to do anything that's not a third person open-world game. New Rayman, maybe?
Re: What Remains of Edith Finch PS5 Version Supposedly in the Works
@OthmaneAD
Sounds like you just don't like the genre... doesn't mean the game sucks though.
Re: No inFAMOUS or Sly Cooper Games in Development, Sucker Punch Confirms
I hope it's another new IP then. As much as I loved GoT, we need some more variety in Sony's first party lineup.
Re: Random: EA Gets Destroyed for Trying to Meme About Single-Player Games on Twitter
EA trying to be relevant is the funniest thing about this.
Re: F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch Physical Editions Launching in the West on 6th September
I've noticed Xbox always get snubbed when it comes to these physical editions, and I don't even own one lol
Re: Rumour: Upcoming Need for Speed, Avatar Games Reportedly Release in November
I’m cautiously optimistic about the Avatar game. On one hand, totally not a fan of Ubisoft and their open world game design. On the other hand, Avatar in video game form COULD be awesome.
Re: The Chant Story Trailer Reveals a Cult Gone Wrong
Looks good. Glad to see more quality AA/indie horror games!
Re: Ubisoft Set to Showcase Its Upcoming Titles at Gamescom in August
Ubisoft is my least favorite publisher, but if they announced a new Rayman game or a remaster of the first one, they would be bumped up on my list.
Re: A Plague Tale: Requiem Brings Back Rats on 18th October for PS5
October is jam packed with releases: Forspoken, Gotham Knights, Marvel's Midnight Suns, Modern Warfare II, and now this.
Meanwhile November is just crickets lol
Re: SEGA Announces Hyenas, a Team-Based FPS About Stealing Merch in Space
Just what we all needed and wanted...another multiplayer, live-service shooter.
Re: Tony Hawk 3 + 4 Remasters Canned After Dev Merger, Says Tony Hawk
THPS4 was one of the first 3 games my brothers and I got with our PS2 (along with GTA Vice City and Kingdom Hearts). The soundtrack alone is stamped into my mind.
Re: Mini Review: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (PS5) - Basic Upgrade for a Great Game
@WaveBoy Yes, the house/greenhouse/swamp section of the game was definitely scarier than the ship and cave part.
Re: A New Rating Indicates Skull & Bones May Drop Anchor on PS5 Soon
Another live service game for Ubisoft to abandon within a year.
Re: Mini Review: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (PS5) - Basic Upgrade for a Great Game

Re: Evil West Gameplay Looks Like God of War with Guns
I like linear games more than open world ones, so this sounds right up my alley.
Re: Video: In Defence of The Last of Us' PS5 Remake
I was a huge doubter of this remake when the rumors started floating around awhile ago, but after seeing the footage of the game I am sold.
Re: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Gets a Gruesome New Trailer, Release Window, Now Coming to PS4
A lot of these horror franchises would lend themselves to awesome single player survival horror games. It's a shame everyone is chasing the asymmetrical multiplayer route...
Re: The Quarry (PS5) - Maybe Until Dawn Was Just a Fluke
PushSquare loves their low review scores.
Re: A Plague Tale: Requiem Release Date to Be Announced on 23rd June
Recently replayed Innocence on PS5. The game was even better the second time around and I'm excited to see how Amicia has matured.
Re: Psychological Horror Title Luto Aims to Give You Fresh Nightmares on PS5, PS4 in 2022
Sound and looks like Visage, which was amazing(ly scary).
If this is even half as frightening as Visage, then count me in!
Re: System Shock Remains Horrifying in New Gameplay Trailer, Still Slated for PS5, PS4 in 2022
This looks amazing. Hope we get a physical release on PS5.
Re: A Plague Tale: Requiem Still Set for 2022 in New Trailer
I’m thinking this will release in November considering that month is wide open right now.
Re: God of War Ragnarok PS5, PS4 Release Date Targeting November
Makes sense, November is wide open at this point.
Re: Deliver Us Mars Out for PS5, PS4 in September with a PS Plus Discount
This is exciting. I am getting the physical version of Deliver Us the Moon on PS5 later this month.
Re: Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7 PS5 Versions Probably Out Next Week
@GamingFan4Lyf Agreed.
I would say that RE4 was able to toe the line between action and horror successfully, so it makes it a lot easier for Capcom to lean into the horror more with the remake.
RE5 on the other hand went full action, so it would be more difficult for them to remake the game (and introduce more horror) without it feeling like a totally, 100% different game.

Re: Two New PS Store Sales Live Now, Big PS5, PS4 Games Discounted
Guys and gals, do not sleep on Tormented Souls. Plays just like classic Resident Evil, difficulty and all, but very scary and atmospheric!
Re: Hideo Kojima Reportedly Developing a Horror Game Named Overdose
Yikes, if this is Xbox exclusive I may as well just jump off a bridge...
Re: Project M Is a Ridiculously Good Looking Unreal Engine 5 Game Coming to Consoles
@CastelloGG Does that matter?
Re: Capcom Showcase Announced for 13th June
DLC for RE Village would be nice and showing us some more of Pragmata.
Re: Geoff Keighley Says to 'Manage Your Expectations' for Summer Game Fest
I just want a release date for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, A Plague Tale Requiem, and the new Dark Pictures entry.
A couple new reveals would be enough for me, but I think the Xbox showcase will also have some multiplatform announcements as well.
Re: The Callisto Protocol Will Have Exclusive PlayStation Content at Launch
We need more space horror games like this, Dead Space, and Alien Isolation.
Re: Gotham Knights, Modern Warfare 2, Cuphead DLC at Summer Game Fest
The Callisto Protocol is my MOST anticipated game of this year. Merry Christmas to me.
Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite PS5, PS4 Game Shown at State of Play?
RE4 Remake and The Callisto Protocol.
But let’s get real, it was all amazing.
Re: PS5, PS4 Horror Game The Callisto Protocol Dated for December 2022
@torne Don’t forget Alan Wake II next year too!
Gonna be a great year for horror games.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's Latest State of Play Livestream?
As a huge fan of horror games, this was an awesome SOP in my book. 😌
Re: Resident Evil 4 Remake Announced for PS5, Out March 2023
I screamed at the top of my lungs. ☺️
Re: The Destroy All Humans! 2 Remake Reprobes PS5 This August
I really don’t get the hate for full remakes of old titles.
If a game was good when it was released but looks/plays very dated then why shouldn’t these companies introduce these games to a whole new generation of gamers?
I’m 28, but I’ll be the first to admit there’s a lot of older titles I didn’t get to play that I’m glad were given a full remake for me to experience (Resident Evil 2, for example).
Re: Talking Point: State of Play Predictions - What Do You Expect?
Obviously PSVR2 announcements, but aside from that:
Resident Evil 4 Remake
Street Fighter 6
Sonic Frontiers
The Callisto Protocol release date/gameplay
Avatar gameplay
Exoprimal gameplay
Resident Evil Village DLC
KOTOR Remake news
Re: State of Play Showcase for Thursday Confirmed, PSVR2 Games Included
Now I’m disappointed. Hopefully the Xbox showcase will show a lot of multiplats.
Re: PlayStation Studios Investment to Be Split Evenly Between Existing and New IP by 2025
@dschons
I second this. I hope PS Studios explores different genres in regards to any new IPs from here on out. Returnal was a good first step. But let’s see a FPS game, a survival horror game, a metroidvania, a stealth game, etc.
Re: No Man's Sky Now Has Its 20th Free Post-Launch Update
I don't care what anyone says... Hello Games has more than redeemed themselves with all these free updates and support that they didn't have to do.
I haven't played NMS in years, but I'm thinking of jumping back in just to see how much it's changed.
Re: Resident Evil 3 PS5 Upgrade Could Be Close to Release
Can we get a remake of Code Veronica please!?
Re: PS Plus Premium's PS1 Games Have Separate Trophy Lists for PS5, PS4
@SoulChimera Awesome, thanks!
Re: PS Plus Premium's PS1 Games Have Separate Trophy Lists for PS5, PS4
I just want the ability to purchase these classic titles on the PS Store.
Re: Preview: New Saints Row Looks Like Fantastic Fun, But It's Also Distinctly Last-Gen
@Resi32 I don't see it...
