@gollumb82 Yeah nobody asked for Triad Wars and thankfully it didn't last long. They were actually planning a direct sequel but never went into production. Split/Second goes on sale for cheap a lot and it really is a lot of fun.
@gollumb82 Sleeping Dogs is a great game and after 10 years still enjoy playing it. Such a shame the sequel got cancelled and the developer closed down.
@Chaudy I'm also currently playing through Split/Second and it's a load of fun. If you enjoy it, I highly recommend a similar game called Burnout Revenge which is backwards compatible.
Another issue I have with it is the app will close itself when selecting a game or scrolling down a lot. Does anyone else have this issue and is it gonna be fixed in the upcoming update?
@Gamer83 They could of made Dex a villain in SR3 but no we forgettable one's instead. It's a shame with this new reboot, Volition could of knocked it out of the park by making similar to the original which is what the fans have been asking since SR3. I'll be surprised if we see another Saints Row game ever.
The series has been downhill ever since the 3rd game. Started off as being in a gang taking over territory, to becoming the president of the United States that has super powers and fights aliens and now the reboot is about hipsters starting a gang to pay off their college debt.
@Kaloudz I definitely agree with swapping out EA Access with Ubisoft +. The only games I like from EA are Dead Space series and Mirrors Edge whilst Ubisoft have plenty of good games.
This year for gaming has not been exciting for me with the constant delays to 2023, Xbox not having first party exclusives and having no interest in any of the PS exclusives. The only game I actually want is The Callisto Protocol which is coming out in December, meaning it wont be eligible for GOTY this year.
My game of the year so far would have to be Elden Ring despite not finishing it.
I'd give the show a 8/10. It showed off a variety of different genres such as RTS, action adventure, racing, wrestling and horror so a lot of people will be pleased.
Alone in the Dark and Spongebob The Cosmic Shake are the two games I'm definitely getting.
I really miss this franchise, and still play all four on my Xbox 360 since PGR 1 & 2 are backwards compatible for it and wish they'd be playable on Series X with auto HDR and FPS boost, but probably music licensing stop that from happening.
Resident Evil 1 & 2 remakes were fantastic whilst 3 was lacklustre. I don't see Capcom messing this up since it's the most popular of the franchise and arguably the best.
The game was gonna come in 4 months time and we haven't seen any gameplay whatsoever so I'm not surprised. On the bright side at least it'll be next gen only.
I personally believe Silent Hill 1 should be the one that gets a remake since it's aged quite a bit due to being a PS1 game.
SH2 still holds up well to this day with it's excellent storytelling and soundtrack that I cant see a remake from Bloober Team somehow topping the original. The combat is the only thing that really needs to be improved upon.
Either way if the rumours are true I'm just glad Silent Hill is finally coming after a 10 year absence. Pachinko machines do not count.
