Gamemoir's Nick D. explains why re-release developers shouldn’t mess around with the core mechanics of a game unless they understand what made the original tick in the first place.
GOG writes: "Resident Evil HD Remaster and Resident Evil 0 are now available fully DRM-free on our platform and are also joining the GOG Preservation Program!
We’re thrilled to continue this journey with Capcom and expand the Program with two survival horror icons. Thank you, Capcom, for believing in video game preservation, and to all the passionate people within the company who have dedicated a significant amount of their energy to making these releases possible."
Carl Williams writes, "If you are reading this then you are probably a fan of retro games. Just taking a stab in the dark there. Well, we just found out that Capcom, one of the better retro supporting companies out there, has this package with Humble Bundle full of Playstation 3 and Playstation 4 games. You better hurry and grab this one because time is running out."
I have to agree. I wish companies would do more porting of their previous digital only games such as Final Fight Double Impact over to the PS4. I want to get a Playstation but 3 seems on the way out and 4 is still too new for a lot of what I am interested in.
I wish they would port their full classic line brawlers from the 90s. Man, they made some good games back then.
Napalm, check out their PSP Reloaded and Remixed collections. Great value for the money and full of their core retro games. I am not sure what consoles they released those collections on but I am sure PS3 and Xbox 360 were in there.
Well, we know that is not going to happen anytime soon, at least not till people stop buying PS3 games and such. Sad. I wish it was backwards compatible too- I would buy a PS4 immediately if it worked with at least the digital stuff from the PS3.
I wish Sony would get the licenses for all the classic arcade games from the 80s and 90s for the PS4.. I dont see why they wouldnt want to make money? I miss those brawlers like xmen, tmnt, etc.. So many great games people are forced to play on mame
The problem with that idea is that a lot of those companies are now defunct and no one really knows who owns the rights to what game. Then in cases like X-Men, it is multiple companies involved (the engine would be Konami's while the actual X-Men license would be Marvel's) and sometimes none of the companies involved are interested in working together again for whatever reason.
I wish it would happen too though.
New deals and games added to PS Store.
I don't understand this argument at all. The new control scheme is simply optional just like the control schemes in most games. If you don't like it change it. It' not as if it's even the default scheme!
I never played the GameCube REmake so I thought this article was about the new rooms & enemies added to the remaster which I was about to agree with. I love the original RE & I love the idea that there would be new rooms & enemies but a lot of them come across as arcadey & in my opinion brings me right out of the nostalgia & reason I liked RE of old & into the action RE's of new & im not sure about them.
I've felt that the old style RE controls were actually a combination of two design choices: 1) The "tank-controls" that limit your turn circle options making your character hard to maneuver and 2) RC Car style controls where you have to hold up to advance your character irrespective of camera/character direction.
The former is a design choice that impacts game balance, the latter is a design fault that was (at the time) the best solution to work around avoiding player disorientation when switching between two radically different camera angles (cuts down on the kind of confusion that occurs when a player gets stuck moving back and forth between pre-renders whilst they get their bearings).
That the new optional control scheme rectified the latter is laudable and a smart, player-friendly addition. That it undoes the former is game-balance crushing, empowering the player in a way they were never intended to be.
