Re: Game suggestions for the podcast

Pretty sure it's on there but I'll check.

Edit: It actually wasn't. But it is now.

Re: Resident Evil 4 (2023)

Interesting. I was actually pleased and surprised by how far they went away from the UI template compared to the RE2 and 3 remakes. I wanted some continuity - especially being able to use d-pad shortcuts for weapons which I don't think many would argue isn't a big improvement over the original - but...

Re: Videogame News

I've had that on my 'play some time' list for ages. Wonder if I can get through it before it leaves. I don't really understand why MS exclusives are being removed from Gamepass though. I get licenses expire for stuff like Forza (which I think is horseshit, given we now live in an age where games ca...

It's not always possible to negotiate a permanent license for music tracks or image rights, to name two examples.

I'd recommend folks just buy the game now, while it's the price of a pint.

Strong recommendation for RE2 remake after this one.

Re: Resident Evil 4 (2023)

The latter, I reckon. It's been put on the big list.

Tune into the next Patreon monthly podcast for some spoken word review from me in the meantime.
Should be out around 8th or 9th April.

Re: Resident Evil 4 (2023)

I'm right near the end of RE4 now after <>16 hours. I feel the Capcom team has done a stellar job of retaining the mystical flow, balance and pacing of the majestic original. Myriad improvements beyond audiovisual, too - not least of which is that QTEs are gone.

Re: Resident Evil 4 (2023)

RE4 until 1am again. I think it's fair to say I approve this venture.

Currently finding statue heads and just ridden the first ornate castle travel car mechanism. Big game is big!

Re: Resident Evil 4 (2023)

I played for around 10 hours yesterday and found it as hard to put down as the original. I think they've really (re)captured the flow and balance of one of my all-time favourites. There are however some niggling issues with the versions out now as it stands. Check out our friend John's video: N1QOYo...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I love Luigi's Mansion 3.

But if you didn't like it, definitely don't bother with 2.

Re: Switch Recommendations

Nintendo kinda dropped the family friendly thing about 30 years ago when Doom and Mortal Kombat II landed on the SNES. There were loads of brawlers too, and a number of horror games (notably Resident Evil remake and RE4) debuted on Nintendo consoles. You can even get some pretty dodgy Hentai games o...

They are on the list, but yes, so far we've only covered IV and V.

Re: Resident Evil 4 (2023)

Yeah, pretty sure I sang the praises of the Wii version on both of our RE4 podcasts!
It definitely does make the game easier though, if you get used to it.

I'm quite happy to play the new version with traditional controls, however.

Re: Resident Evil 4 (2023)

The fact that it's still a week until my preinstalled copy of this (courtesy of game sharing with Our dezm0nd) unlocks is physically painful:

I have a long weekend, with no football, and I cannot wait to get stuck in.
