Gamereactor writes: "Action adventures have gotten a bit overshadowed by pure shooters and therefore Enslaved: Odyssey to the West comes as a more than welcome breath of fresh air. With several thoroughly entertaining levels and high pace (not too mention the most memorable ending of 2010), Ninja Theory has managed to put together one of 2010 big surprises."
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.
Picking up Enslaved tomorrow, along with Castlevania.
I dont even understand the first paragraph , my opinion of Enslaved aside .
Was the reviewer under a rock and missed (the infinitely better , imo) Darksiders , Bayonetta , God of war 3 , (mediocre) Dante's Inferno etc ? There has been plenty fresh air and pause from fps the whole year for those that wanted it .
I dont buy two games at once anymore unless its Xmas, I will go with Castlevania I picked it up for £28, which is a cracking deal (thats $44)
being a long game that will last me a good week or so
I will then keep playing the games I have at the moment and will pick up enslaved probably for Xmas when it'll be alot cheaper
this score is more in line with the demo I played..
if you all like this game, if you havent you should at least rent HS
from what I played of the demo (on both consoles several times over each), I would say 8 is fair and possibly even slightly pushing it. I think this game is way too forgiving and easy. The textures are hard to even call average. If I am being honest I would say they are weak.
The only saving grace for this game (again I haven't played the retail version) would be level design, story and the abilities you unlock during your journey through Enslaved. I am looking forward to finding out how it is for myself tomorrow.
