I was impressed by the reader who accurately predicted the PlayStation State of Play the other day. Although there weren't any Intergalactic or other unexpected announcements, I thought it was a solid event overall. It was nice to see Deus Ex Remastered, although it does seem a bit overdue now that I think about it. I haven't played Returnal yet, so I can't comment on that, but I know that GC is very enthusiastic about it. As for the Wolverine game, the concept is easy to understand. However, as I get older and become a dad, I found myself put off by the excessive gore and violence in the game. It just seemed like too much, especially when they claim it's true to the comics, even though I'm sure there are many instances where Wolverine doesn't resort to such extreme measures. I may give Saros a try instead, as seeing other silly elements like giant robots in the game seemed out of place to me.
Speaking of the State of Play, I haven't seen it yet, but I agree with the Reader's Feature from the weekend. All I'm hoping for is something new. I know Intergalactic is technically new, but since it's from Naughty Dog, I already have a good idea of how it will look and play. And since I'm not a fan of their games, I'm not particularly excited. I haven't played Returnal either, so I can't comment on that, but a new God of War game in a different setting or style would be interesting. In my opinion, it's Sony's best franchise at the moment. But please, surprise us with something unexpected and not another live service game. I know, I'm asking for a lot. Maybe the next event will be the "big one."
I feel like I'm out of touch with some of this year's indie games. I didn't enjoy Hollow Knight when it first came out, and I wasn't a fan of Hades either. So, you can imagine my lack of excitement for Hades 2, which looks almost identical to the first game. I'm not complaining, but I do wonder how certain indie games become popular while others that are just as good don't. We all know it's just marketing when it comes to AAA games, but how do indie games gain recognition? Maybe the early access model helps them build an audience over time, but I personally don't like playing unfinished games. I'm starting to think that I'm not cut out for the modern indie world.
With Silent Hill and Resident Evil making a comeback, it feels like we've finally reached a renaissance for survival horror games. However, it's unfortunate that we didn't get any new franchises making an impact. I wonder why Square Enix hasn't attempted to revive Parasite Eve yet. In my opinion, it was just as good as Resident Evil and Silent Hill back in the day, and I believe it could become something special with a remake. My guess is that the game was quite lengthy for its time, and it may be too expensive to remake it for a smaller audience. But I hope they change their mind because a remaster wouldn't do the game justice, considering its pre-rendered backgrounds.
I have fond memories of saving up my paper round money and pocket money to buy the N64 at launch for £250 from Mr. Disc. I wanted Turok with it, but unfortunately, it wasn't released until three days later. So, for three whole days, I just held the controller and stared at the console, which was quite difficult for a 13-year-old. I'm not sure why it wasn't released on the same day. What difference does three days make? Turok cost me an additional £70, which was all I had, so I couldn't afford a memory card. I had to leave the console on when possible or replay from the beginning every time for about a month until I could save up enough for a memory card. I eventually traded in my SNES and some games for a copy of Super Mario at my local game shop. These are happy memories, and it also taught me the value of things I wanted and the importance of patience. Oh, and I almost forgot, when the price dropped by £100 just a month later, my sister angrily wrote a letter to Nintendo, and they sent me a black controller and an apology letter. Very Japanese indeed.
Is the new PS5 Wolverine game crossing a line?

I was quite impressed by the reader who accurately predicted the PlayStation State of Play the other day, even though there were no surprises like Intergalactic. Overall, I thought it was a solid presentation and I was personally excited to see the announcement of Deus Ex Remastered. It's been long overdue, if you ask me. I haven't had the chance to play Returnal yet, so I can't comment on that, but the concept behind the Wolverine game seems pretty straightforward.
However, I couldn't help but feel a bit put off by all the gore and violence in the trailer. As a dad, maybe I'm getting too old for this kind of thing, but seeing a guy in a bright, flashy costume slicing off people's faces just seemed like too much for me. And to top it off, they claim it's just like the comics, when I'm sure that's not always the case. I might give Saros a try instead, as the giant robots in that game seemed more my style.
Moving on, I agree with the Reader's Feature from the weekend, where they expressed their desire for something new in the State of Play. While Intergalactic is technically new, it's from Naughty Dog, so I feel like I already know what to expect in terms of visuals and gameplay. Plus, I've never been a huge fan of their games, so I'm not too excited about it. I haven't played Returnal either, so I can't speak on that, but a new God of War with a different setting or style could be interesting. In my opinion, that's currently Sony's best franchise.
But please, give us something unexpected and not just another live service game. I know I'm asking for a lot, but maybe the next State of Play will deliver the big surprise we're all waiting for.
I've been feeling a bit out of touch with this year's indie games. I didn't enjoy Hollow Knight when it first came out, and I wasn't a fan of Hades either. So, you can imagine my lack of excitement for Hades 2, which looks almost identical to the first game. I'm not complaining, but I do wonder how certain indie games become popular while others with similar quality go unnoticed. We all know it's just marketing when it comes to triple-A games, but how do indie games gain recognition? Maybe it's due to the early access aspect, where they can build a following over time. But personally, I don't like playing unfinished games, so I feel like I'm not cut out for the modern indie world.
Moving on to a different topic, it seems like we're finally getting our survival horror renaissance. With Silent Hill and Resident Evil Requiem turning out well, it's just a shame that it's happening so late and without any new franchises making an impact. However, it makes me wonder why Square Enix hasn't tried to revive Parasite Eve yet. In my opinion, it was just as good as Resident Evil and Silent Hill back in the day, and I believe a remake could make it even better. My guess is that it may be too expensive to make due to its length, and it may not have a large enough audience. But I hope they reconsider because simply remastering it wouldn't do it justice, considering its pre-rendered backgrounds.
On a personal note, I have fond memories of saving up my paper route money and pocket money to buy the N64 at launch for £250 from Mr. Disc. I was desperate to play Turok, but it wasn't released until three days later, so I had to stare at the console with the controller in my hand, which was quite difficult for a 13-year-old.

And to top it off, when the price dropped by £100 just a month later, my sister wrote an angry letter to Nintendo, and they sent me a black controller and an apology letter. Only in Japan.
