As a reviewer I feel lucky, because sometimes a game comes along which you just shouldn’t miss and often with these titles, it lies undiscovered until one day people realise just how good it was. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen with Enslaved, because this is a game which should be played.
GB: "With this feature, we talk about 15 games on the PS3 that should be remade for the PlayStation 5."
Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.
Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.
A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.
Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.
Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.
I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.
Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.
I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.
From Xfire: "It's not unusual to see the occasional bad PC port, but these ones make the bad PC ports look great in comparison."
To be fair with GTAIV, it was a very CPU bound game, released at a time when the vast majority of PC gamers still believed that the CPU was nearly irrelevant, and that you only needed a good GPU. 95% of "gaming" builds back then were using turds for CPUs.
Joseph, Josh, and Chris go over a striking Sony decision, a Star Wars: Knights of the Republic remake seems to be happening, and local JRPG lover Chris talks about Atelier Firis DX.
Enslaved is getting great reviews
Really wish this game wasn't coming out during this busy period in terms of game releases...as it might get hidden away by other games.
Really hope it doesn't as all reviews so far have been great for it.
I have it pre- ordered, I'm really looking forward to this one!!! 8)
Are both certain buys for me. (would have been day 1 but im working 7 nights straight upon their release)
Defo getting them when im off work though.
Love my hack & slash/Adventure games.
I will be getting both (Enslaved and LoS) eventually but I am only getting one now since Fallout and Fable are so close to release.
I was torn but I think my choice is going to be Enslaved. The story seems to be the big selling point so I prefer to play it before the spoilers start making it into general conversation. LoS may have a decent story but it's not what people are talking about in the reviews so if it gets spoiled then no biggie.
Plus, LoS is supposed to be longer so if I get it later I won't feel rushed to get it done before Fallout/Fable.
