Jay 37,281 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I hope this one isn't a major downgrade from the original(s) like some of these other so called "HD remasters":. Huh? Which HD remasters have been "major downgrade"s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,281 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 And yea, it's hardly Sony's fault that Naughty Dog didn't finish Uncharted 4 in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Doesn't matter, one big first party release for 'holiday season' isn't good enough. I can't believe that's Sony's big triple-A exclusive this Christmas. Lame.I haven't played it so it's new to me! I hope this one isn't a major downgrade from the original(s) like some of these other so called "HD remasters":. Quite the opposite: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-hands-on-with-uncharted-the-nathan-drake-collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,281 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Ideally I'd like to be playing 3 or so at a time (a platformer, an RPG, and something else) to have something ready for the particular mood I'm in, but some of the ones I got into didn't hold my interest enough to want to finish before starting something else.

Marian Schedenig 8,172 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I'd probably play that on my desktop PC, though. Hmmm, maybe not. I dunno.Considering that the original already used tank controls, I imagine it should play fine on the PS4. I was tempted by the console version, but ultimately bought the Linux version, if only to support Linux versions of games being made. Haven't actually started playing it yet.

Well it does, but that's if you want to play old school.Yes, I think there's a new control scheme (haven't read up on it though, so I don't know what sort) and the classic tank controls. But it seems to me that the tank controls would make sense on the PS4.(There also was a non relative version of the tank controls - you press left, the character moves left on the screen regardless of where he's facing - but after some getting used to tank mode, the absolute version didn't make much sense to me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Picked up playing Shadows of Mordor again. It's fun enough but the atrocious story (with the most bullshit-cliched video game plot around, the "you killed my family so now I kill you" plot), the repetitive nature of the gameplay, and the relatively monochromatic and dingy world reduces this to an occasional 15-30 minute play a couple of times a year (not taking into account future years).I might also try to navigate the lumbering labyrinth that is Dragon Age: Inquisition again sometime soon too.KOTOR 3 can't come soon enough... Also, are there any mods for the PC version of Arkham City that play a humorous high-pitched scream whenever Batman falls into the water? If so, can whoever knows send me a link?

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 PlayStation 4 price cut leaked by TargetGood..... good.Still a rumor considering anyone can photoshop a picture together! Doesn't make sense to advertise it for the Uncharted bundle, considering it comes out in 5 days. When would it be announced? Tomorrow?Sony's sales are so strong I don't see why they would cut the price so early into the console's life cycle. But considering they're cutting it in Japan, where sales aren't as strong, it could be possible as a countermeasure for having no games this holiday season.
