Wow! £109 must be close to being the deal of the century, even if it's digital only.
Does anybody know if Xbox One exclusives bought through Live (or what it's called) can be played also on Games for Windows (or whatever that is called) for "free"?

Never liked the idea of VR. To me it's just a bit too much like 'Blade Runner'.

@Carl-G It WAS too expensive at first, but when the first Slim was released (great piece of hardware btw.) it slowly recovered and caught up with the Xbox 360.

@StephanEvil You're probably right. It has never been one of my true favs in the series, but it still has the second best villain in 'Lord "suffer severe consequences" Saddler', after Wesker.

The Sinclair ZX Spectrum and the original Playstation are my to 2 favourite gaming platforms of all time. Simply because they each in their own way have the best libraries ever.
The ZX Spectrum has the best library of 2D games (it HAS! - many of its arcade conversions simply play better than the originals - and it also have many other truly classic games in other genres - its library consists of over 14.000 games - and still very much counting - after all).
The original Playstation has the best collection of action adventures ever IMO (Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid, Tomb Raider, Parasite Eve, Fear Effect etc.).
But the PS3/Xbox 360 generation was also very good, because it took 3D action gaming to a whole new level IMO.
The Vita and the Nintendo 3DS are also very good platforms, partly because of their ability to play many great games from the past on the go.

Yes please. I would buy them, that's for sure.

No, I've got zero interest in PS Now (or ever for that matter).

So a Dead Island/Left4Dead clone with very generic looking characters.
Count me out. Meh.

Revelations 3? The characters pictured looks a bit like the side characters from Revelations 2.

@SakuraHaruka
I agree very much. I think Capcom took that way with RE 7, REmake2 and Devil May Cry 5, because they figured they couldn't compete with Call of Duty etc.

But then I think you need some really iconic franchises to do that.

Just saw the article about Konami's downfall above this.

Are we going to see EA's downfall soon as well?

I mean they just don't have any franchises of the caliber of Activision's, Capcom's, Rockstar's, Warner Bros' or Bethesda's (I don't know about Ubisoft, Ass Creed must be quite expensive to make and how much do it sell in the end - Square Enix has Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest - and Tomb Raider ).

Battlefield isn't that series more or less dead by now. I think it's Fifa themselves that makes most money out of the Fifa series.
Anthem bombed. Dead Space is long dead and gone. Same with Medal of Honour. Do they have Sims? And maybe some realtime strategy series like Red Alert?

How on earth are EA gonna compete on PS5 when AAA games just cost more and more to produce?

The new Star Wars looks almost last gen, because it's probably just to costly to make it look any better. But will people be content with a game that looks a bit like old news?

I'm not so sure, but I guess time will tell as they say (but I will remember to buy some cheap microwave popcorns to treat myself with, while I'm watching it all span out).

I wouldn't rule it out either. Focus Interactive must be quite well of financially at the moment because of Farming Simulator's recent success. And french developers do tend to make quite good games in the more "arty/historical" genres if they are given a decent budget.
Just think Dark Works' Alone in the Dark game ("The New Nightmare"), Arkane Studios' Dishonered, Dontnod's Remember Me (ok not so historically, but definitely "arty") as the best examples.

The main problem with the Vita probably was that Sony was in extreme dire straits, when it released. I even remember a time on the Vita PSN shop, when the prices started to go from, say, 15.95 to 15.99 just to get that extra little money out of the transaction.

I think I would buy a PS4 remaster of this if they touched up the graphics a bit (especially the character models, that were a bit behind times when it originally released IMO).
It's what you could call an action horror title, but the combat engine was really good and unique.

@sketchturner RE4 is way overrated IMO; decent horror game and decent action game. Had it been like the village and the farm the whole game it would at least have been a great horror game.

Umbrella Corps Deluxe Edition for peanuts? I think I'll give it a try. It is with Chris, Wesker, Barry, Hunk etc. after all.

@Zukato I think the box art sadly represents the in-game graphics quite well. The game never did the comic books drawn by William Vance (and written by Jean Van Hamme) nowhere near the justice they deserve IMO.

And btw wasn't this actually a Ubisoft game when it first came out. Kinda odd that it's Microids that publishes it now.

It sits around 72-73 on Metacritic and as a big fan of the comics I actually bought it day 1 and found it extremely underwhelming.
Hardly a classic, but a rather poor shooter IMO.

@Matroska Ok, but what has a screenshot from RE2 to do with RE3 (other than they are obviously connected storywise).

Who is the girl? Doesn't look like Jill to me, but more like Claire.

Just a question: How much is it going to cost to develop these 8K games?

Internet connections are by definition unstable IMO, so it's a no from me. Simply don't want a subpar gaming experience.

@Cheski
Me too. Just make it look a bit like the Lost in Nightmares DLC for RE5.

@Porco
Yes, I think Capcom should at least wait with 3 and instead remake Code Veronica as it has a much better story IMO, and also have the weakest graphics of the "old style" Resident Evils (4 is not overly dated now IMO and thus shouldn't be remade right now).

@kyleforrester87
Ok. Men det vil så sige, at vi rent faktisk er landsmænd, kan jeg forstå.

@kyleforrester87
Ooookaaaay.

@kyleforrester87
It's still much better than Nintendo"fanboy"Life IMO, though.

@kyleforrester87
And that's why you're posting comments here all the time, am I right?

I've already more or less "checked out" on contemporary gaming. Have my huge backcatalog on Vita and 3DS plus numerous classics on a wide selection of platforms ranging from arcade and Sinclair ZX Spectrum games to a few PS4 games, that I intend to replay from time to time.
I have preordered the RE 2 remake though, but other than maybe a single Vita game I have nothing I'm looking forward to.
My "checking out" from gaming is not something that have happened "overnight"; it's been a gradually thing that more or less started back when PS2 took over from the original PlayStation.
Of course there have been great games since then (action games have generally become much more advanced), but action adventures (which is what I really loved the PS1 for) have gradually become more and more generic IMO.
Fighting, driving and FPS games have gradually become more and more graphically impressive, but IMO more or less plays like they always have (the Vita IMO hit the sweet spot when it comes to graphics - they simply don't have to any better on a 5 inch screen).
Ok, that sounded like a bit of rant, but in fact I'm happier gamer than I've been the last maybe 17-18 years, because I finally gotten time to look into my backlog, simply because there aren't really any new games that interest me anymore (I'm not even really pumped for RE 2 remake, but expect it to be quite alright).
So I'm not so bothered with streaming maybe becoming the future, even if my own experiences with it have been rather bland (streaming PS4 to my Vita - sometimes great other times downright terrible).

The PSOne games looks so much better on the Vita's screen and there's only two of the games I like, so I'll definitely pass.

Playing it on my Vita right now and it's still great (even if the graphics were at bit better in 2 and 3). I still prefer this version and the Nintendo DS version over the remake (always thought it lost something in the translation).

And it's not only nostalgia. In fact I played 2 before 1 and was initially a bit dissapointed with it after the masterpiece 2 had been. But I've since grown to love it just as much as 2; it just feels more like the true essence of Survival Horror to me.

This company has a fishy taste of Gizmondo to it.

Vita is still doing pretty decently. Wonder if quite a few people in Europe and the US are still importing it from Japan?

@ShogunRok Sounds good. Will read reviews when the time comes to see if it's anything for me.

So no localization of the Vita version I recon?
It's understandable with Catherine: Full Body, another "big" Vita game, not being localized either.
Was considering getting F/E Link as my final day one purchase for the Vita, as it's probably the last reasonably big action game coming for it (have no desire to get it for PS4 though).

I've only played Wolf Among Us on Vita and I really liked the characters and story, but it was very poor technically.
I also have the first season (chapter?) of The Walking Dead, but from what little I've played of it, it just seems to me that it is reaching to much for the lowest common denominator for my liking.
Maybe that's what was Telltale biggest problem in the end; their games just seemed pretty superficial and not very "deep" generally.

I haven't played my Vita for the last 3 or 4 month at all. But then again I haven't played many games at all this year compared to just 2 years ago.
It just seems time has finally caught up to me and I'm now so much out of sync with the general gaming taste, that there simply seems to be next to nothing of the new stuff coming out, that appeals to me (I will get REMake 2 though).
I will however return to the Vita and 3DS from time to time to replay some the classics (AND my backlog). I might even seldomly return to some of the best games on the PS3 and Xbox 360, but I doubt I will buy many (if any) new games in the future.
Does it bother me? Not really; I save money and I believe I have enough classics to scratch my gaming itch from time to time.

1. Peace Walker
2. 1
3. 2
4. 3
5. 4
6. 5
7. Ground Zeroes
The last 2 were simply not worth it IMO.

Vita numbers up. Still holding up decently.
Are there some kind of of promotion going on?
Because no new games were released.

It's been like this for years on the EU Vita store.
The US store is much better.

Fear Effect 1 and 2
Parasite Eve 2
Tomb Raider 2
Not going to buy a PSOne Classic though.
Have my Vita where these games looks and plays great.

@rjejr I think it probably means, that they will keep gauging the interest in the Playstation Vita's hardware and keep manufacturing it until the sales are just to low.
Nohing suspicious about that. It's just common sense IMO.

@Zoroflamingo The Wii U was (is) not a bad console when it comes to first party games, but it was abandoned by Nintendo because it didn't do very well.
Nintendo wouldn't have let it go so soon, if it had had any kind of real commercial succes.
The Vita on the other hand didn't have that many great first party titles, but have more or less survived on third party support for the last 4 years or so (and it does have many good to great more unknown games - especially in the action games, fighting games and JRPG genres - which is probably why it's still popular among a decently large core of fans).
