Understandable frustration. Getting shafted my their own nation’s company.

Called it. Hope it was worth it Sony....

Being consumer-friendly. Nice

Good. They definitely know better. Now you can start dropping the price of your first party games that have been out for 2+ years now.

Hm, based on just the available material, not feeling the Wild Arms successor, those character designs are a little too obnoxiously 'generic animu protags'. Got more expectations for Penny Blood tho. Shadow Hearts was great and that art style imo has a dash of Hirohiko Araki to it.

Tell me this doesn't look a little Jojo

Okay, this is getting very embarressing now, Naughty Dog.


One video requiring the developers to point out the differences because it's totally a remake was already sad, but two... You made a glorified, overpriced remaster of a remaster, deal with it. Stop making trailers going 'no seriously, look how much of a remake it is guys'. Maybe this came down from Sony realizing there's a bit of discontent about the pricing, but this PR is just making it laughable.

When the first game was met with near-universal praise, I was happy for them. But I think they (especially Neil Drunkmann) let the success got to their head a little too much. Because look at what happened with TLOU2; They pretty much went "ahlalalala, can't hear you, the game is great!" when people pointed out the flaws, which was made worse when it somehow won the GOTY in 2020.

Now I am pretty sure that they convinced themselves that they can do no wrong, calling this a "remake" is a perfect choice and fans would love it, they are perfect in the craft, and any haters can go fuck themselves.

Seriously, the amount of self-righteousness is almost as bad as Peter Molyneux

Let the idiotic babies have their milk. Makes no difference to me. I keep forgetting that this game is still a thing. But you are all correct to call it out for what it is. This game is so far off my radar, that might as well exist another plane of existence right now and forever.

That first trailer where Druckmann actually uttered the words "constrained by technology" already made me dry heave. Like, fuck right off with that shallow sales pitch. I mean, the "remake" as is... fine. It looks very shiny, PC gamers can play it, and accessibility options are great. But pricing it at 70 bucks is fucking greedy, and then making not one but two trailers overselling its remake-iness is them treating us like we're freaking toddlers.

If this remake is so great (and I'm sure its fine) it should be able to speak for itself in a trailer, without the developers authentically sitting infront of the camera to talk about how authentic this remake will trully be. Don't be so fucking sad, Naughty Dog. I'm saying this as someone who kinda still likes you.

My respect for them pretty much went out the window with all the hubbub with the second game. Uncharted 4 didn't help matters either.

It's like if you combined OG Megaman with Megaman Zero. Looks solid.

This is something I plan on getting later. I noticed elements of Shinobi and Ninja Gaiden. The Izuna Drop and wall jumping really sold me. And for some reason, the aesthetics also remind me of Shatterhand.

After that whole Mighty No.9 debacle, It's amazing to see so many people making the actual spiritual successor to megaman, and they aren't even Keiji Inafune.

Look up some images of Megaman Zero 2 Power Room stage. A lot of stuff in the video like breaking through floors and the color pallete reminded me of that and the chain link ability was also very similar to the Chain Rod from the same game.

For further irony, Mega Man 11 sold well. It just goes to show you it takes more than just one guy to make a great game at times. And just because you're a legend, doesn't mean you'll knock out heavy hitters each time.

I could never get into the MMZ series. Way too hard for my liking. I know the compilation Port fix this, but I don't have much of a Mega Man drive anymore. This exception aside.
