Nice! Congrats bluepoint on a great remake!

Nyxus2895d ago

Yeah, it's good to see their great work being rewarded.

uptownsoul2895d ago

Its great to see good work pay off...I'm glad the fans of this classic showed support.

Thanks BluePoint for the AWESOMENESS!!!

Transform2895d ago

Yes, the PS4 version is incredibly well done.

You can tell that Bluepoint took their task of updating the game for the PS4 with great care.

SuperSonic912895d ago

This legendary game is timeless.
Got the PS3 version too and this version is the best.

So vivid and so clear though the eerieness is minimized but made the open world so much beautiful.

Looking forward for the ICO Remake.

PeaSFor2895d ago

I'm happy to see it do well in the UK, but it concerns me to see it so understocked in the US. The game is amazing and deserves to do well, but similar to The Last Guardian it appears that Sony did not ship enough copies to meet demand (at least in the US). The game is sold out at all my local stores so i can only imagine how well it would've sold if Sony had sufficient supply. Regardless, the game is great buy it if you can.

Wow, that's great news. I still don't know if I'll get it again though?! I got it first on PS2, and then again on PS3. I'm a fan-boy and all that, but I don't know if I'm that big of a fan-boy. No doubt this will open the door to more remasters and remakes. Here's hoping they remake Vagrant Story.

darthv722895d ago

At first I wasn't planning on buying it again (like you I too have the PS2 & 3 versions) but then i saw there is a special edition that includes a steelbook case and now I want it. Hopefully there will be more SE's released because the price of $49.99 is good but scalpers pricing of upwards of $100 is not.

KickSpinFilter2895d ago

Really? Sweet I got the special edition for $39.99 Win! Win!
Thx BB!

Dark_Knightmare22895d ago

The special edition is awesome I got mine launch day and I'm so glad I did seeing now how sought after it is.

IamTylerDurden12894d ago

I doubt you will be able to find a SE. The preorders sold out very fast, i preordered mine as soon as it was available. Even the base game is sold out at many places. The remake is amazing though and the SE was well worth the $49.99.

SkippyPaccino2895d ago

I'll probably budge when it gets below 20$

2895d ago
SkippyPaccino2895d ago

For sure MakoD! I have too big of a backlog to justify buying games at full price... I usually pre-order what I want on amazon (save 33% off on day one games) and everything else I pick up in the bargain bin.

AspiringProGenji2895d ago

It is $40 so I’d bite if I were you. It still plays like a new game

Zabatsu2894d ago

Well, for people like me it's amazing. I never played it back then. I don't regret it, because now I get to experience it first hand in this epic remaster.

Well, look at that ! I think it did pretty good after all. And Bluepoint, you earned my respect for respecting Team Ico legacy.

Fantastic game. By far my favorite 3D Mario.

repsahj75d ago

I bought the switch 1 Mario odyssey bundle when it came out. Good thing Nintendo didn't charge for the switch 2 upgrade.

Soy74d ago

Most pure fun I had with any Mario game since Super Mario World.

Bit like comparing a truck to a car.

8bitAssassin130d ago

Donkey Kong is an average game. Mario Kart is now neutered and watered down. I'm hoping Metroid is at least above average.

Neonridr130d ago

Donkey Kong had so much more than they showed in the direct. Not to spoil anything but considering people were assuming there'd be like 4 or 5 "worlds" in total, many were shocked to find out just how far the game keeps going.

I'm having a blast with the game myself, but to each their own. MK is a solid entry in the series, is it the best? Debatable. But it's not like it's a bad game at all.

8bitAssassin130d ago

I feel your assessment. The destruction & playability in DK is phenomenal. MK has a ton to unluch and some dope tracks. It's something about both that didn't punch in areas where it needed the most.

Shiro173130d ago

Mario odyssey definitely beats DKB but it's not to say DKB is a bad game at all.

gold_drake74d ago

i wouldnt compare these games at all.

but, having played both, Odyssey is the better game.
