Wow, yeah in the day and age of amazing modern cell-shading why the fuck would they go with that art direction.
Lots of games are aping Fortnite because they think that will help them sell.
I'm happy not everyone is going for hyper-representational any longer, but don't want everything to look like Fortnite's look, which is just a version of The Sims.

Isn't it still the same bad PC port that's on steam?

What's special about it being on GOG besides DRM-free?

Historically virtually no non-indie AAA games release on GOG in anywhere near a similar period (usually years later, if they even can persuade publishers). This released just months later, which is especially curious coming from a Sony-owned company (though imo having Decima on PC seemed to be something led by Kojima for DS originally but it's been interesting reading of Sony's statements and mentions about the PC space recently).

RDR Remake has made sense since RDR2 came out and they spent the effort remaking 1/2 of the entire game's map in RDR2 graphics/engine. There's no way they did that and didn't think "hey, we could use this and remake RDR and sell it for millions later on"


That said, I'm not sure if I'd want to replay RDR1. I love the game and prefer some of it to RDR2 like the story, but RDR2 improved the gameplay so much...it'd be pretty tough to go back to RDR1's gameplay. They'd need to make some really substantial changes to make the world feel a lot more alive like RDR2 and maybe add a lot of side stuff/missions to bring it to par.

Yeah, I love TWEWY and I'm excited for a new one, but this looks kinda assy.

Main character's art is like worst lead character design I've seen from Nomura. The side characters look way better. The combat clips don't look good/exciting at all and the visuals are pretty ehhhh outside seeing the real world locations. Walking around Shibuya looks like the best part in a Persona 5 way.

Hopefully the game is good. The original had good art, good music, good combat and solid story. Gonna be hard to live up.

At least the framerate which seems shitty in the trailer should be 60fps on PS5 BC.

So what's that space game Sony demoed for the PS5? Or was that this generation's Deep Down.
I suppose 'New C' is Devil May Cry.

I'm at a loss as what 'New B' could be though.

:bow :bow :bow

Kawazu must have dirt on one of the SE board members, he constantly makes these super obtuse, non mainstream, financial disaster rpgs, but still gets to make his pet project series. We've been graced with a lotta SaGa recently, RS2 and 3 remakes, a compilation of the GB games, an all new title (Scarlet Grace) and now this... I still would like a 2D remake of RS1, since I wasn't nuts about the ugly 3D of the PS2 remake...

It works better with Saga Frontier, though, because the original character models weren't traditional sprites. Looks like they were made from still images of CG models, like Super Mario RPG used.

I mean, I guess.

Would rather they remade MGS3.

Twin Snakes just left a bad taste and MGS1 original still holds up pretty damn well. Coupled with Bluepoint weak character art/models when MGS is all about very memorable iconic close up character models giving speeches, I just don't think this will end well.


Bluepoint does amazing environmental art. People give SoTC remake some shit because oh no Wanderer looks goofy, but 99% of the game is admiring grand vistas and they were perfect for that. Souls is mostly environmental with ugly monsters/npcs anyhow, so it worked well (plus the NPCs actually looks pretty good in Demon's). I think they should stick to games that are more about big visual environments and less character talky.

At least MGS3 has big open jungle sandboxes and stuff. Hell, remake Peace Walker or Portable Ops into a full fledged modern MGS game.


Honestly I keep saying this, but the perfect game for a remake in a popular series is Silent Hill 1. That game looks like shit and is very dated. SH2/3/4 still hold up ok visually with great art direction thanks to PS2. SH1 was PS1 and is just a bunch of pixels. It's a classic game and a pretty solid survival horror game. A modern remake would be awesome.

See, I feel MGS3 still looks great and doesn't need it imo.  Twin Snakes was ass to me too, so I feel this would be a bit of redemption.  Peace Walker could use a massive facelift as well (as I thought it was ass also), but then it would just basically end up being MGSV.  :yeshrug   I actually like their character art.  The facial animations are great in DeS.  I know people complain about it, but they're pretty lifelike.. especially the blacksmith.  I like watching his iron cold stare with his gummy teeth showing along with his raspy voice and perfect lip syncing.

I can't speak for SH though as I was never big into them.  :doge  But with their track record so far, I'm completely open to whatever they take on next.  :)   ... as long as MS doesn't buy them up out of nowhere, then they can fuck right off and join the rusty trombone train with other bought up; soon to go to shit, MS studios.

Yeah I agree with Bebpo that MGS 3 needs a remake more than MGS 1. Graphics aside, MGS 1 still plays and feels tight because it stays within the means of the original hardware. Same for MGS 2. All these tight condensed spaces lead to these games holding up well. MGS 3 was too ambitious for its time when the tech wasn't really ready for it. The game is probably the worst gameplay wise of the core MGS series. It also needs some quality of life updates because some of the gameplay systems are tedious.

I think Subsistence and it's 3d camera works pretty well. MGS3 is still my favorite MGS game. But the original camera was definitely problematic for the areas and fights.

And yeah the camo system is tedious and could use some QoL changes.

I remember being excited for Subsistence when playing it, but to me (at the time), the camera was a nice touch, but felt out of place.  Feels like the game's level designs would have to be completely reworked to fit today's 3D standards (if any..lol).. and people would ultimately complain about it... but don't get me wrong, I'd nut over a completely remastered MGS of any of the main 5.

New AMD cards compare pretty well..... Until you compare RT and DLSS performance where AMD gets bodied with no real answer in the works. Hope AMD improve their feature set outside raw performance and bring that power over to consoles. Kinda gutting consoles are stuck with the lame duck this gen.

I would really like a new Bluepoint HD collection. Would be down with an mgs1 remaster improving the models and environments keeping everything the same akin to Demon's, updating it to run and feel better on modern tv's and throwing in an update on their 2/3 remasters to run at higher res/framerates on newer systems (and maybe 4 but imo, let that shit die a sad death).

They did a great job on the first hd collection imo, got MGS3 subsistence running at 60fps on 360/PS3 (mostly) and it runs locked in BC on One/Series consoles. Would love to see more of an overhaul of the series though, even if they went through each entry in order, keeping things mostly faithful with a bunch of qol updates. Couldn't give a shite about Peace Walker though.

It's crazy that they have no answer to DLSS, i honestly wouldn't even consider a non-Nvidia card, on that factor alone.
