In recent times, a lot of trends that were pioneered in the mid-late ’90s (but then later went away for some reason) have begun to rediscover their popularity. It seems like literally every two months, there’s a new (cool) homage/ throwback to old-school FPS and RPG being released—able to both stoke the nostalgia fire of veteran gamers, as well as bring new ones into the fold. The trend is pretty evident in things like the again-popular 2D Metroidvania genre, the somewhat resurgent ‘immersive sim’ genre, more JRPG’s being made than they were before, beat em ups, classic- style platformers etc. etc.
Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.
RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.
It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...
Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh
Rockstar Games' open world action adventure game, Red Dead Redemption 2, can now run on Android devices, but only barely.
Oh great. So glad this is a thing and not the current gen update we’ve all been asking for. /s
Red Dead Redemption 2 wins 'Best Game Sequel' in BAFTA poll, surpassing Half-Life 2 in a landmark victory.
hmm kinda out there i find red dead 2 a over hyped game i am sure there are other's out there worthy of this award.
Are we saying rdr 2 mp is better than the first one?
The cover shooting better on #2 than #1?
I mean they reused 80% of rdr 1 map on rdr 2
Hmmm don’t know about that one myself. There’s some good sequels there….
No way last of us 2 was a better sequel than the original resident evil 2. The story of TLOU2 was a huge let down for me!
Assassins creed 2 was a vast improvement over the original and still the very best of the entire franchise imo.
Half-life 2 will always be legendary.
RDR2 is great but the best sequel ever? I don’t think so… just my opinion though I guess
Sure, if you started playing game yesterday and just for this series. Otherwise? lol... No.
While I haven’t played many games with them in it. I did enjoy playing the old resident evils and DMC’s. So I wouldn’t mind them having a small resurgence in some titles.
I enjoy the fixed camera angles in the Lego games. The free camera levels are awful, mostly because of the camera issues.
It was extremely effective in Metal Gear Solid. It's aged way better than most 3D PS1 games as a result. I recommended this game to a friend and my brother (got a free PSTV and lent it to them) and they both said that it was suprisingly good for a PS1 game and gave it an 8.5. When I was a kid, I remember thinking the MGS felt way better than the Tomb Raider games and the fixed camera angle definitely played a big part in that.
For certain games perhaps
Don't get me wrong, MGS is my favourite series of all time, but when they introduced the new camera in Subsistence, wasn't it widely regarded as a big improvement?
