@Ronnie et al concerned with Spider-Man: Miles Morales being a remaster with some added comment based on that VGC "article"... Which is exactly what was expected beforehand. From the Telegraph article that everyone was sourcing, you get this: Looks like they took some creative liberties to reach that conclusion from Rutter's wording. Because you could also take the phrase "expansion and enhancement of the previous game" not as a bolted on, upgraded version, but instead as an expansion of the previous game in the same sense that Lost Legacy was for Uncharted 4, and enhancement in the same way that refining a game's engine for a new and more powerful console would be considered an enhancement. Even IGN were questioning it in their article. Good for them. Glad Insomniac have spoken up, but the problematic echo chamber of internet video games journalism becomes apparent I'm cases like this: quote taken in a very focused perspective, same article then jumps to conclusion (instead of clarifying, too? That's just bad journalism), and all of a sudden that's what's happening.

Nah, it was a conscious choice I was actually on a Skype call with some friends from work for the start of the event and we play Rocket League every Friday, this seems like it might be worth trying out. Not sure if it's just the art style, but I feel like it could easily end up being announced as Free-to-Play?

Woo, more Kyle after his bit during the pre-show last night!

Reviews are live. Metacritic currently sitting at a 96 with 76 reviews.

Oh wow, so these guys were actually the ones who made that Majora's Mask fan film a few years ago! Their background in animation certainly shows in the game too. Damn. Now I'm even more excited.

To be honest I would probably play the recent Resident Evil 2 remake. You don't need to have played Resi 1 and it will be a much more modern and enjoyable experience. To be honest I've made a habit of loving returning to older games, not sure if I would necessarily give the PS1 versions a try first instead of the remakes in this instance but I don't think I'd mind. To give the series a fair go I'll commit to giving both REmake and RE2 Remake a try I think. Couldn't think of a better time than a summer weekend to dig in, so guess I'll try one out in the next month or two!

Guess this answers the question of where I'll be jumping into From Software games! more than happy to give this a try and jump aboard the From train, and @killthenet those screenshots look fantastic. Bluepoint are absolute wizards. Shadow of the Colossus blew me away, but honestly I recently played some of their HD remasters on the PS3 (MGS2 and MGS3) and I was blown away by how well they those games were brought up to scratch too. [Insert wish here for them to reimagine the Metal Gear Solid games next]

They're currently remaking Resident Evil 4. When that comes out, I implore you to check it out. One of the best games ever released in my opinion. Yeah, I read about that, might not be until 2022 though if I recall? Might try to jump in a bit earlier but thanks for the recommendation, I think 4 is the only one I've experienced to any degree (played for about half an hour when I was younger at a friend's house). Is Resident Evil (the 2002 remake) considered a good jumping in point? Might have to give it a go and follow it up with the remakes and the original 4, if they're to my liking. Will have to give it a go this summer.

Haven't played a Resident Evil game before, and nothing I saw here really got me on board to do so, even as someone interested in jumping onboard with the series. It just didn't really grab me. Art style also seemed a little different to me when compared with the more recent uses of the RE Engine in games, couldn't quite tell what it was, looked a little rough once or twice which might be the reason.

Hoursemarque's next game is quite the unexpected departure.

Developed by BlueTwelve and published by Annapurna.

PS5 event trailer: Timed exclusive seems to be what's being thrown around. Very surprised honestly that it's first-person. Still, it's set in Tokyo, and I love the look of what's going on. I'm intrigued.

Trailer from the PS5 event: As @Map shared in the PS5 thread, looks like this might be a times exclusive, which would be interesting to say the least. Bigger fan of the art style in the transitions than of that found in the game itself, and obviously being Arkane seems very Dishonored-like. Haven't checked out any of those games yet, and though I'm curious about the "death loop" mechanic, can't say I've seen anything which would get me to commit to picking this up just yet.

It absolutely does, I don't know what you're talking about ...does a mod mind helping me out with a thread merge here please? Not sure how I cloned it but I did, my bad As you mentioned here and as @Sheikah mentioned in the other thread I made, loving the art style. Simple but effective, and the sense of scale for some of the shots in the trailer were great. Also, some funny visual gags. Look forward to seeing more!

The other indie game for me that stood out and I'm really interested in.

Honestly looks pretty cosy and one of the games from the PS5 event I'm most interested to see more of. Coming to both PS4 and PS5.

Comes pre-loaded on PS5.
