Is OG Silent Hill 2 (either emulated or the HD collection) worth playing today if you didn’t grow up with the franchise? I landed on the Resident Evil side of the RE/SH divide.

HD Collection, no.
Original, absolutely.

I do and that's why I'm doubtful, I don't think Konami or Bloober have the ability to make a new game that successfully channels SH2. They've both tried and failed before. It's looking like an RE2make level overhaul based on the changes to camera and combat. In fact this whole thing looks like Konami watched Capcom reinvigorate RE over the last few years and decided that's their playbook for getting back into AAA games.

This is almost certainly what happened. I am also doubtful they're gonna pull off what Resident Evil did. The trailer didn't set off any red flags for me though, so I'll just sit back and see how it comes out, but I'm pretty skeptical.

At the end of the day Capcom never actually gave up on RE and they have been mostly killing it for the last 6-7 years and Konami...is Konami. Resident Evil hit a brief rough patch. Silent Hill has been DOA since most of us were teenagers.

I feel like Konami is jumping the gun remaking SH2 when SH1 is right there. That's a game that really does cry out for a remake. Visuals don't hold up at all and I think you'd have to be the most die hard fan to have any recollection of the plot. Way less risk of losing something in the translation, so more license to make changes to the design. I'd be a lot less skeptical of the SH2 remake if Konami had done that and earned some good will first. Or done basically anything to earn back any amount of good will. Putting PT back on the PSN store would've been a nice first step, they couldn't even be bothered to do that.

I want to be excited for finally having a new Silent Hill anything but the remake trailer was quite bland. I liked Silent Hill f and Townfall trailers, though.

Plague Tale 2 just softlocked me by making a checkpoint the second I started getting eaten by rats so when ever I load my save I get instantly eaten. Start of the chapter is maybe two hours back.

I was enjoying it until that lol

Even more so than the first one it's a game that wants to tell a story and doesn't let things like '4 hour sequence where all you do is walk round an island slowly' get in the way of that.

Someone else I know has the exact same instant rat death checkpoint happen to them like an hour after me.

Anyone got any good recommendations for (couch, ideally although I'm giving her my old PS4 so online might be an option) Co-op games to play with a lapsed gamer? My girlfriend hasn't played anything since the Wii.

She mentioned liking the Lego games previously and there's a bunch of those on PS+ so we're starting with those. Also Overcooked, although I know that has potential to cause fights.

there's a semi-recent list in the op

Yeah totally. There was a walk and talk that ended at a torch but you could keep walking ever so slightly out if torch range and then boom instant rat death out of nowhere once it transitions back to full gameplay

The PS4 (and presumably PS5) version of P5R allows for the Share function, but only to a specific point near the end of the game. It's dumb. Anyway, it's moot because this specific screenshot was taken by me, with a capture card.

Also the story hinges on the idea that teens can sneak over rickety wooden planks and through dry grass and even climb and jump completely silently and after a decade of similar content in games its starting to feel fake as hell

After showing the recent gameplay and trailer of re4r, if capcom came out and said the price of the game is 100 bucks per month, every month for the rest of you life i would pay it and you know you would too you can parry a chainsaw with a pistol rules of natureeeeeeeeee

I was also considering buying the new Rimworld expansion (not PS5 related). I tried Returnal but it's not really clicking for me.

Isn’t Redfall actually not all that left 4 dead like? Like it’s still a single player immersive sim on a giant interconnected island, but they have drop in drop out multiplayer that works like a mix of dark souls and l4d.

I stopped following it when I realized it wouldn’t get a ps5 release, but that’s how I recall the devs clarifying it after the first trailer made everyone assume it was yet another l4d knockoff.

I haven’t historically liked Arkane games (haven’t tried Deathloop yet) but I’m always down for the sort of aesthetics/setting Redfall seems to be going for. As long as I can play it single player I’m down. The reveal of it really caught my attention. Vampires rule.
