Give it a chance! It's only Monday!! :P
Does anyone know if the PS4 version has control settings yet (e.g. inverting the camera)?
I'm still to get this game. I've never played Alan Wake, though I love the idea of it. Hoping for an Alan Wake remaster.
I think Suicide Squad has potential though. I mean, the movie wasn't great, but the team has recently done well in other media forms. Unlike a lot of comicbook team-ups, the Suicide Squad has a regularly-changing membership and provides the freedom to kill off key characters, making it one of the more flexible IPs available. This may allow Rocksteady to tell the story they want to tell more than other existing IPs.
To be honest, I agree. I'm looking forward to seeing what the Harry Potter game is all about, but it wouldn't suit Rocksteady as a studio in my opinion.
Sorry! Didn't mean for my comment to sound so picky! I was distracted while writing it! Please accept my apologies!!
Movies? Plural? There was only one. The James Gunn reboot is still in production.
The loading times in Bloodborne aren't actually that bad!
I'm not sure Sony have to own the character of Spider-man in order for him to be considered their mascot.
He helps sell consoles.
Whether we think it's right or not, Spider-man is now a PlayStation mascot, and a big console-selling mascot, at that. PlayStation are relying on Spider-man to move the PlayStation 5 units (most obviously in the form of the Miles Morales version of the character, though they've used Insomniac's game in the marketing of the PS5 already, to show off how it compares to the PS4.
It would seem strange if an iconic PlayStation mascot turned up on other consoles.
If remakes pave the way for new sequels based on those remasters (and therefore in the vein of the original games) for franchises that have gone through multiple stages and deviated from the original games, then I'm all for remasters. This is the case with Crash Bandicoot, and hopefully the case with Spyro - a true sequel would be really exciting.
I haven't played it since the month of its release. And while I actually really enjoyed what I played, once the story was complete (which didn't take very long...), I felt no desire to continue playing.
I have to say, the footnote here about melee weaponry has me intrigued. I actually found the powers and combat a lot more intuitive and interesting than the guns.
Fair enough! I haven't played them yet!
Probably adding an advert for pre ordering Far Cry 6...
The inFamous series really deserves another entry. It just completely fizzled out.
Its not my most-desired PlayStation return (that would be Jak and Daxter). But at least Jak and Daxter got an "end", whereas inFamous never really felt finished.
Great to see Bloodborne getting so much love here! I'd have to out that as my number 1 too - no other game has changed the way I think of games in quite the same way!
I think it depends on your reason for gaming. Personally, I value narrative in games higher than anything else (or at least on par with gameplay). If a game requires 30+ hours, but doesn't present a thoroughly engaging narrative, I usually won't enjoy it. This is why I have given up on the Assassins Creed games in recent years - even though they have become longer, to me they have become worse value for money.
I'm not saying long games are bad. Mass Effect games...
SyntheticForm - you've hit the nail on the head there.
To insist that someone remake something just because you didn't like it is so insulting. Imagine if people had demanded that Leonardo da Vinci repaint the Mona Lisa because they didn't like it.
At what point did the work of individuals become something that consumers of that work had a say in? At best, that's an insult to the capability of the creator(s). At worst, it's a dangerous...
This was a really thorough and well-written article.
I used to love open world games. At one time I'd have described them as my favourite type of game. But that was back when open world games were few and far between.
But open world games are no longer special. And its been a long time since I played an open world game that really blew me away.
They're also one of the few developers that seem to really care about the characters and story that they're spinning. Plus, the Dishonored series was one of the truly original feeling games in recent years. There was clearly so much passion that went into the world they crafted.
