I've never played them so I'll accept this remake.

They are awesome games! A noir thriller type settings with a comic book feel. Hopefully the remakes does them justice. Maybe they might even expand the games story with extra missions that would be cool because they are quite short especially the first one.

The only remake I want is NFSU2 but if they added the first game to it as well then I would be cool with that as well.

With gaming now mainstream its heading in the some direction that the movies and the music industry have, decisions made by corporate wanks in suits who probably have never played a game in their lives so they are always conservative and go back to what works.. sorry what makes them money! New I.P's are risky and expensive and take time, remakes are safe and cheaper and pretty much guaranteed money because fans.. suckers buy it (me included) no matter what!

I was going to mention movies too. I'm so sick of super hero movies and that's all that gets churned out any more. There is a real lack of creativity in anything.

Geez I hope this is good.

They were great games. I was 13 when the first one came out, and my mate just got a PC that had the capability to play it.

We both loved it, bullet time and rag doll effects were great.

MP3 was also kickass.

Chronocross is out on Xbox today.... Been wanting to replay this for 20 years!

..Tempted to skip footy training to go play

I've been a sucker for the occasional remake here and there, but I'm just about done with it now. I want new games and new IPs.

Exactly, make a damn sequel.

A quick look at why UE5 is so cool. Just wait for the AAA quality indies we'll start to see in a couple years. I can't wait to have a real play to see if I can finally after all these years realise an idea I've had but never skilled enough to do it.

I guess this rules out the Sony buying Square predictions.

I guess this rules out the Sony buying Square predictions.

Why do you think that?

 

[dwwaino]

Why do you think that?

Sony could of course buy Embracer group but that doesn't sound like something Embracer would be interested in right now. Even more so after making acquisitions of their own.

I saw this quote from the co-founder on an IGN article

”Embracer is the best kept secret in gaming: a massive, decentralized collection of entrepreneurs whom we are thrilled to become a part of today.

Embracer Completes Acquisition of Crystal Dynamics, Square Enix Montréal, and Eidos-Montréal - IGN

Apparently Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order 2 will be next gen and pc only

Also rumours that GOW Ragnarok will be the last cross gen game for PS4

Seems to me that this year will be the last year for cross gen games after that it will be PS5/XBSX only

Make sense a lot of these next gen games are being held back by old tec it’s about time imo

Not a game or anything but a great demo of UE5 with Quixel and stuff available from the Unreal marketplace. Each scene only took the creators several days to construct. After playing around with UE4, now UE5 and Quixel for a few years now this example is why I've been saying for a while to expect a wave of high quality AAA indies.

One of the best games in the last 5 years. Keen to see where the story goes.

 

[Cyber_punk]

Fans of Inside and Limbo might want to keep an eye out for this one. I like games with ambiance and art like this. Hopefully it comes to Game Pass.

Releases June 1st.

Seems a new Marvel game is coming from a new studio called Second Dinner which was founded by former Hearthstone devs. Apparently it will be a card game called Marvel Snap.
