It basically proves that art direction / visual style are adequate substitutes for fidelity, and that sometimes visuals aren't important at all. You can argue this point all you want, but it won't change the fact that Minecraft is at the top of that list.
Yeah, that's not a thing. Just look at the highest grossing games of the last decade if you need proof. You can argue that it works in some cases, but would also have to admit that it's completely unnecessary in others.
Totally agree, especially with all the polished turds out there. AAA visuals are a huge drain on time and resources. FROM has found a very good balance of art style / visuals that allows them to create quality experiences and exercise their creativity with more frequent releases. This visual intelligence idea is nonsense, and just demonstrates that the industry is becoming Hollywood. I'm sure there will be a bump in visuals with next gen FROM, but don't expect them to ever be at the t...
Are you trying to say that's a bad thing???
It is last gen. TBH I don't think it looks worse than Halo Infinite, or some other cross gen titles.
Amazing! Thursday can't get here soon enough
Not even close
@badz149 ha, pretty much
Glad to see it getting the attention it deserves. Pretty much to Metroid what Souls is to Zelda, and did more to satisfy my craving for new Metroid than Dread. Hope to see some proper DLC in the future so I can play the shit out of it.
@iplay1up2 LOL! Are either of those games even eligible? Also, isn't the last time Halo won an award back when Bungie was the developer? Like 2007 or something lol? I don't actually think Returnal will win, it's just my personal GOTY. You're hilarious!
So start with low stakes, not the game that just got voted GOAT over at resetera. I don’t care how it reviews personally. It would be super disrespectful. This is the creation Miyazaki is most proud of. Sony really dropped the ball with the original Demon’s Souls. If it weren’t for that, FROM probably would’ve been acquired. Now FROM is doing what they want on their own terms, probably can’t fit BB2 into their schedule rn, and I’m not certain that Sony is patient enough to make the right call...
Yeah I just don't get where you're coming from. Bluepoint made a behind the scenes video for Demon's Souls remake where they talk about porting the original code and building their engine off of that. This argument is just not well-considered, and honestly tired of hearing it. Bluepoint had a wealth of content from DeS to DS3 and BB to reference for recreating DeS. I expect FROM-like architecture to be in a remake. Mo-cap and voice acting is referencing the very same combat / move...
BTW, backstabs are your justification? Did you actually play both games? The engine wasn't really scratch, they worked from the original code and made sure it felt and played exactly like the original. It looks better and runs smoother because it's a ps5 game, and it's only a good game because Demon's Souls (2009) is a good game. Fans of the original took issue with some of the liberties Bluepoint took.
Disagrees, use your words. There's no way bluepoint...
Because Bluepoint is a cover band. You wouldn't ask a cover band to write the next Rolling Stones album.
Bloodborne is a masterpiece and pretty much the GOAT. That's why
No excuses now. Play it already! GOTY fasho.
If FROM is making the sequel, dream come true. Bluepoint sequel? A real nightmare.
@1nsomniac Exactly. Why do they even care? It's the same idea as more female representation in games. Wherever you land on the politics, there's always a choice and it ultimately actually doesn't effect you. You can't win. Throwing tantrums just validates any controversy and probably just leads to developers trolling you even harder. Grow up and it won't matter. It's just a game and you can play it however or as whoever you like.
@S2Killinit Sony release plenty in time for the holidays, just not during the holidays. People maybe forget that Christmas isn't a big deal in a lot of countries. While countries like Japan and China have started celebrating it to some degree, it's not like Christmas in the west. Other countries don't celebrate Thanksgiving, so Black Friday doesn't have a special significance. Playstation dominates in the global market, so maybe part of Microsoft's strategy is to go hard a...
I think the argument is that there is too much handholding. The game is very liner and guides you to the next area pretty consistently. Instead of backtracking and real inerconnectivity it uses teleport hubs to streamline the process. This is part of why exploration suffers in this game. Re: controls, free aim and button combos for weapon selection felt somehow less precise than old metroid. It doesn't let you switch weapons either, like back to regular super missile from ice missile.
what does that even mean?
