Edmilson 7,434 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I'm seeing all those reviews for Hogwarts Legacy, and despite having been a huge Potterhead in the past... Now I don't think I could care less about the game or the whole Wizarding World. It's the game that I would love to play when I was 12 to 14, the height of my Potter obssession. Too bad that was in the mid-2000s and the technology wasn't sufficiently advanced to make a game of this size yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterTech 989 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I always heard about how the OotP and HBP games had a fairly decent representation of being a student at Hogwarts, so I'm guessing the new game is either that in an updated fashion, or these reviewers never got to play those for whatever reason (though I doubt it if a lot of them I hear have been Potterheads in several senses).

I tried only the HP1 and 2 PS1 games, and I thought they were pretty abysmal, with a weird gameplay. I never got used to Harry jumping between obstacles automatically, all the player has to do is to walk towards a chasm that the character jumps by himself. It's a weird feature for a platforming game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best ones outside of GE (for me) were probably Everything Or Nothing, Nightfire and Blood Stone (although Nightfire using Brosnan's face but not his voice was a little weird).

SilverTrumpet 638 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 We're more than two years into the generation. That's about halfway through a typical console cycle. They're definitely already thinking of game development for PS6. Playstation R&D probably already knows what it looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 The PS5 released in 2020. Of course a game targeting a 2026 release date will have a PS5 and PS6 version. It'll be like how Final Fantasy VII Remake dropped in April 2020 for PS4 (a system that came out in 2013), then the PS5 dropped in Nov 2020, so the PS5 version of FFVIIR dropped in June 2021.

Jay 37,346 Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 6 years ago today Hollow Knight launched (on Windows) I never played it until the Switch version launched in 2018 but goddamn if it wasn't an amazing experience, and easily one of the very best video games I ever played with one of my favorite game scores to boot Last year I replayed it - rare for me as I never have time to play half the games I bought let alone replay games - and loved it even more, it cemented my love for it. I was hoping so much there'd be news today about its sequel, but alas. Team Cherry, I hope the sequel is mindblowing with the huge amount of time you're spending on it!

Edmilson 7,434 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 8 years without a Rocksteady DC game, and this is the best they could do? I mean, in comics, the Suicide Squad is known for having a lot of different members with distinct powers, so they could've gotten very creative with the gameplay. But this looks like just a generic shoot-em-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,346 Posted March 14, 2023 Author Share Posted March 14, 2023 Anyone else confused why they are remaking Resident Evil 4 already instead of doing Code Veronica first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I don’t remember how Code Veronica fits into the mainline franchise. It’s a side entry, no? RE4 is considered the best game in the franchise. Makes sense to me that they would just go 2, 3, then 4. I don’t anticipate them remaking any of the others. Maybe 5, certainly not 6. I’m more puzzled as to why they didn’t remake the first game again and started with 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted March 14, 2023 Author Share Posted March 14, 2023 Code Veronica is basically RE4, and the game they called RE4 should have been called RE5, and subsequently every game since should have been one number higher RE1,2,3, and CV all take place in late 1998. RE1 is Chris and Jill in the mansion RE2 is Leon and Claire in Racoon City The first half of RE3 is Jill in between RE1 and RE2, and the second half is Jill after RE2, ends with Racoon City getting nuked CV is Claire after RE2, before the RE3 ending, in Paris looking for Chris. Later she gets captured and you play as Chris looking for her. RE4 (should be 5) is when the game finally jumps to years later, and follows Leon on a mission to rescue the president's daughter RE5 (should be 6) is set 5 years after that, and has Chris on a new mission and involves a brainwashed Jill RE6 (should be 7) is set 3 years after that, and you control Leon and Chris RE7 (should be 8) is set 5 years after that and has new protagonists RE Village (should be 9) is set 3 years after that and has new protagonists again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,346 Posted March 14, 2023 Author Share Posted March 14, 2023 0 is dumb, I did not have fun playing that game Anyways my point was it would have been nice to complete remaking the original set of games all set around the same 1998 set of events before moving on to the later ones that shifted the series away from its roots a bit And also to point out that Claire has been shafted in this series for some reason :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro games are fantastic. Maybe because for me they were games of my childhood, but they really nailed game play, story, immersion. It's probably my favorite genre. I see remakes as a trying to bring those classics to a new audience and I'm in favor of that. Not to say genre's can't be innovative but something to be said for those classics too and why they are so loved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HayleyMadden 0 Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I checked out the article you linked and wow, there are some cool games on there. I'm personally looking forward to ""Hogwarts Legacy"" and ""Starfield."" But, on a more serious note, have you ever struggled with financing your video game purchases? If so, you might want to check out turbodebt reviews. It's a website that helps you compare and find the best loans and rates out there. Definitely worth a look if you want to save some money and avoid debt. Anyway, back to the games - I also thought it was interesting that Capcom remade RE4 before Code Veronica.

King Mark 3,631 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I can't find the other videogame thread anymore so I finished Elden Ring .took 3 months. 191 hours to do all the contents. Overall awe inspiring game and one of the most epic videogames of all time but feels very solitary to play as there's not much in NPC interaction. The main fault of the game is that most of the sidequests are nearly impossible to complete without an online guide. I would have missed 80% of them and progression is vague and dependant on a number of specific factors that you had to randomly stumble upon in a gigantic open world with no quest markers or quest log. And you can fail most of them by simply exploring new areas . For those who found Dark Souls hard this is easier. You have access to summons that act as a party member and fight bosses with you and ease the difficulty by quite a bit .I only struggled on the final boss. In general exploring areas was harder than most bosses in this game. But I played a mage with ranged combat and melee might be harder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
