Interesting. I'm wondering if this is their way of introducing alien and human protagonists for XCOM 3.

Also, the brief cityscape/map I saw reminded me of XCOM Apocalypse, so that might be the equivalent of the geoscape for the sequel if they're taking that route.

Argh, just announce XCOM 3 for God's sake! ;)

I agree but I'm not sure those things constitute a remake. Maybe it's actually gonna be a remaster and this article misnames it?

Also, if you're interested, the PC HD version has a better alternate control method. Still not today's standards but better than the default :)

Yeah, I'd prefer a RE4 remaster and a Code Veronica remake, one done to the high standards of the RE2R.

Hmm. Is it a remake or a remaster because people seem to mix the terms up frequently.

I find it hard to imagine they'll change the perspective so I'm not sure what other kind of massive changes they could make that would constitute a 'remake'. Not unless they change many of the areas and levels, but then why do that when it's such a classic?

I'd prefer a Code Veronica remake in the vein of the last two, with all the areas include...

It's just one of those things.

You had to play it back in 2005, on Gamecube, though I played the HD version last year in preparation ffor RE2 and still thought it was great.

It was adored by critics and players alike and highly influential for many franchises that followed. It also remains the highest scoring RE title (96) on metacritic. Mikami is a master, imho.

Yeah, although seeing as it's Kotaku, maybe it's not such a surprise ;)

But.....it's literally called easy. If you found it easy then it fulfilled its purpose.

What did this journo expect? A challenging easy mode?

Oh wait, it's Kotaku, what the hell did we expect? ;)

Yeah...I'm not sure this info is still current but I read recently that Steam said there were over 1.5 million headsets in use, though it didn't include those headsets that weren't plugged in during the time of data collection.

The next survey will have a way of knowing if a headset has been present and in use multiple times, even if it's not connected at the moment the info is uploaded, so the true number is probably even greater.

It'...

Hah! It's ridiculous. They even go on to say how they won't buy the game now, after the devs specifically try to put something 'sex worker friendly' in the game.

I swear, the more people try to be accommodating when it comes to these kind of social themes, the more they get their efforts thrown back in their face :s

I feel the same way.

Funny thing is, given Druckmann's previous comments on this sort of thing, the rumours seem believable...but of course that is what someone would be aiming for if they were making crap up, heh.

2126d ago 2 agree0 disagreeView comment

I remember when Druckmann told a focus-tester to leave because they shouted, 'Oh no, not you too Naughty Dog!'.....I think it was when the player encountered the Nadine bit in Uncharted 4 where she beats up Nathan AND his brother at the same time.

He said people who didn't like the scene are sexist. Could it just be they thought it was cringe-worthy and only done to make a ham-fisted point and shout, 'strong woman!'? Nah, Neil thinks they just must be ...

Arrgh, I really want you to be wrong but I don't think you are.....is it gonna be a cringe-fest, I wonder? Are the progressive moments gonna be so heavy handed they're practically lit-up in neon and seem horribly out of place?

2126d ago 2 agree3 disagreeView comment

Well, maybe 'typical'? :)

I agree and it's the only thing that gives me doubts about the game. I don't want my time in the post-apocalyptic world of TLoU to feel like I'm being preached to with cringe worthy creative decisions that sacrifice the authenticity just promote a message. I'm wondering whether this is the 'divisive' stuff Troy refers too :s

I mean, I don't know how you felt about it, but Nadine in Uncharted 4 was woefully over-done, imho. It seemed to scream,...

Not sure if you can post links but, if these far-fetched rumours are true, then Ellie's gonna promote the LGBT community in a more 'aggressive' way.

2126d ago 2 agree1 disagreeView comment

I was only kidding ;) I think Joel's an interesting character.

Besides, if those rumours are true, seems like Ellie has enough people to go primal on, what with the homophobic cult that used to include her dad. Gotta be BS though, right?

Mind you, maybe this is part of what Troy was talking about?

@CrimsonWing69

True, it happens in even some of the best looking games.

The Witcher 3 is an example of a good looking game with low res bits here and there.

Like you said though, its smoke and mirrors usually but this might be an Unreal engine issue.

Maybe she witnesses it or.....maybe she commits the deed? Dun, dun, DUUUUUUN!!!

I agree and what you've just said is how the websites should report it - but too many decide to be sensationalist, imho. I bet they're the same kind of people who panic bought food, hehe. Mind you, many will have just done it for the clicks.

My money is on a late July release at the earliest up to mid-November.

Some people are acting like they won't even be able to finish the game this year, like lockenongamer1 above. That's simply not ...

Actually, I am worried about too much political bs being in a post-apocalypse game with Druckman at the helm :s

Especially now that the voice actor has said the story is divisive and thinks people have to play it with an open mind or else they might hate it.
