I must pick up a PS4 Pro so!

I loved The Last Guardian, and I'd be happy to run through it again, any excuse.

I'd like to give the game another try but I'm waiting for whenever I get a pro as well. It's a big improvement over the jank of the original release.

No, the game was still sublime.

No more disappointing than the frame rate in SotC on the PS2, it wasn't perfect but the game remained incredible.

So, I really enjoyed The Last Guardian, and the Pro version will only make it even better.

I couldn't look past the flaws. The movement was all physics based which added a lot of jank which was exasperated by the poor controls. I just found it annoying to control the game.

As for the cat monster. He did too many dumb things that frustrated me. It might be realistic that an animal won't listen to you but it's just annoying in a game when the main mechanic is unreliable. And while I didn't get far I found every puzzle was a variant of use cat thing as a step ladder.

While SotC made it to the PS4 it's a pity Ico hasn't had the same treatment.

Was SOTC and Ico not in a HD bundle?

They were released on PS3 as a bundle but not PS4.

CiDeRmAn · 20-12-2018 9:22pm

Ico was perfect on the PS3, but I'd say it would still be great on the PS4.

And, The Last Guardian was not without it's flaws but it was still magnificent.

Need advice from the experts. Been watching Kim Justices GTA videos and want to give San Andreas a go again.

What's the best platform to play it on now? I have PS2, 360, Xbox One, PS4, Vita and PC but would prefer console or handheld.

Digital foundry retro did a video covering all versions. Looks like all the later versions are based on the iOS version which removed a lot if the atmospheric effects.

Avoid PAL versions of the ps2 game as they are garbage.

I never finished Ico, I'd love to give it a go again, so gorgeous. It's a pity it didn't get to PS4 as well. I still find it weird there's not more crossover more with PS3 and 4 games like Deadly Premonition

Definitely stick it out! I remember when I first got it, I think I gave up after 1-2 hours. Didn't come back to do a proper run through till a few years later. It really is a brilliant game.

I loved it of what I played, I think Persona 5 or something came and that was over lol. I will eventually get back to it and Deadly Premonition.
I was playing Mania Plus and Persona Dancing before I'd my wisdom teeth out, just tv now

Heads up.

Someone here should grab this ex display model for half price before it's gone.

That's a 1up Arcade Street Fighter for half price.

Found it on YouTube, much easier to watch than Facebook so sharing again

I found this flash based version of the 1992 Amiga game Dune but with loads of porn in it

So went to Malaga Spain for a cheeky pre Christmas holiday and when we were on the way home we were presented with this in Malaga airport.....

Reminded me of the Red Neo Geo cabs.
Pretty beautiful looking cab and could almost be excused for displaying in the wrong aspect ratio, because it even had dark scanlines in game which looked like real scanlines going across the screen, stuck on.

All we had to give in return was out data by downloading the app and scanning a QR code on our phone and scanning it with the scanner built into the cab. :pac:

The new episode of Black Mirror is called Bandersnatch, that made me chuckle. Charlie Brooker is a Spectrum nerd too!

For those who don't know, (probably no one on this forum, but still) it was a game Imagine were hyping for the Spectrum that was never made/never finished before they went bust. They had another title, Psyclapse supposedly in the offing for the C64 too.

Another tidbit about the above game: A ZX Spectrum add-on board was to be developed in order to play this on the Spectrum 48K.

KeRbDoG · 30-12-2018 11:10am

Seems that Jeff Minter is in Bandersnatch

Nice little twitter thread about the man behind the Spectrum game you can get from the Netflix film

Ordered a PSVR and Astrobot on Harvey Norman for €189. Selling the camera and games should get me €50 from CeX so that's a PSVR for €140. Not bad, now I can go back to playing Until Dawn

brianregan09 · 30-12-2018 7:18pm

You need the camera for the psvr don't you not ?

Anyone check out hi score girl on Netflix, it is about a girl who is good at arcade games and lots of the classics are featured.

I saw it flicking through Netflix last night but wasn't sure if it would be cringy, is it good?
Seha Girls is another one to watch, loads of Seha games featured, episodes are really short
