I do kind of like that the answer to backwards compatibility this generation seems to be 'Remasters!' Also that the new consoles are apparently easy enough to develop for that making a remaster isn't a big deal.

Give me a Demon's Souls "remaster" and I can finally get rid of my PS3.

Me and my friend played Battlefield 4 last night (great game btw, don't listen to anyone who says it isn't) and so many cool moments were lost because the loving PS4's share feature is still broken :argh:

This should be pretty easy to do too, the only thing it needs is 60FPS and slightly redone player animations for an optional first person/King's Field mode.

I'm so glad I finally moved somewhere with good internet so I can just stream everything now and snip highlights from Twitch instead of relying on the Share function. Really wish they'd figure it out and fix it.

God. I only ever played maybe 5 hours of Sleeping Dogs on 360 because I got the game after I got my PS4 and it sorta looked like rear end. I dug what I played though. I saw the PC version looked amazing so I kept thinking I'd get it on sale for PC. I hate playing PC games though so this is good news!

I wanted to like my 10€ PS3 Sleeping Dogs, but after coming from PC Sleeping Dogs I never liked it. PS4, definitive edition. That's it.

Yes, but all the big AAA multiplat games were on PC, which makes porting to next-gen relatively simple.

Oh, certainly. I was just clarifying that while porting a last-gen game with a PC version is easy, PS3 exclusives aren't.

Already played and beat Sleeping Dogs on PC, but god drat, it was really fun. Tempted to double-dip this one. Are there details anywhere of exactly what's been improved? Other than 1080/60 and all the DLC.

If there ever was as a candidate, that would be one - Demon/Dark souls at 60fps 1080p? Yeah I think that would sell.

I just hook my PC up to my tv and plug the DS4 in when I want to just chill out without worrying about a mouse and keyboard.

The Destiny editions are pretty much dressed-up crap. I seem to recall the $50 premium on the Ghost version is all for the Ghost figurine.

I'd be careful using eBay, though.

You can probably sell the components of the Ghost Edition separately on Ebay for more than the package cost combined.

Dead Space 3 should be left in a shallow grave and forgotten. I played through probably 75% of it with a buddy of mine and it seriously bastardized that series.

This is absolutely correct. If your PC won't play Dead Space 3, it's only because it's trying to protect you.

My ps4 turned off a few seconds after launching resogun. When I turned it back on I got an error saying it was improperly shut down. Was this a freak crash or should I be worried about system failure?

Sleeping Dogs is the poo poo and I've wanted this since I discovered Steam Family Sharing for this game is broken (it "works" but everyone accesses the same branch of saves because Square Enix stores the save files in the game's data directory and multiple users will overwrite each-other's progress).

I feel the same way, but it's unlikely for most companies that remasters are delaying new games. I doubt this update is going to slow production of the sequel at all, and new people will get to play an awesome game.

Yeah there certainly seem to be a lot more remasters than new games coming out so far this gen. Hell, in Microsoft's case, one of their big holiday releases is a remaster collection of Halo games. I wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't games I had already played. The Last Of Us made sense to release on PS4 because a lot of people who bought PS4s didn't own PS3s and never got the chance to play it last gen. But Sleeping Dogs was multiplatform...

Capcom recently announced a remaster of the Gamecube Resident Evil remake, although since they can't re-render the backgrounds, it's just 1080p characters in front of upscaled and sharpened 480p images.

I wouldn't mind another Resident Evil 4 port, since they went to the bother to rewrite it to run at 60 fps for the recent PC port. It's a bit barebones on the PS3, just 720p30 with no AA.

Thus far, for the most part, remastered editions of games are more like "Game of the Year edition, just on a different console" releases, mainly targeting people who didn't play the original game(s) for whatever reason. The Halo Master Chief Collection is actually a bit of an anomaly marketing-wise because they are predominantly targeting people who already played the games.

At the very least, these remasters are for games that are critically acclaimed. We're not seeing Fuse: Remastered or Inversion: Remastered, it's just good stuff.

Word to your moms, I came to drop spirit bombs


As long as these remasters are games I want to play, I'm happy. And I felt a little bad about only play :5bux: for Sleeping Dogs considering how much I enjoyed it and the fact that a sequel wasn't guaranteed (they are doing something now) So if buying the remaster gets us another sequel and/or that sequel faster. I'm all for it.

Sleeping Dogs was pretty fun, I wouldn't pay $60 for it to play again though, even if it has all the DLC and a graphical upgrade. I felt like guns should have been left out, anytime you had to use them the game was less fun, the hand to hand was great and felt unique in a sandbox game, the guns didn't really add anything new I thought.

Also, totally :spergin: complaint but I hated how I'd do the leg break, everyone would :gonk: ...and then the guy would continue walking fine. You suck at breaking legs, Wei Shen!

Hopefully this means there's a sequel in the works, I wanna slam people into woodchippers again.
