I liked exploring random poo poo in a mostly empty wasteland and getting to places it looked like you weren't supposed to be (and then sometimes actually being in places you weren't supposed to be). Like it's probably incredibly telling that my first experience with it was playing an old OPM demo that was supposed to be just the tower and the first colossus but they forgot to destroy one of the bridges and you could explore until the game would crash. And then also the top of the tower wasn't finished.

Really wish they left the stamina glitch in though so you could climb the tower from the start.

A lot of SotC's impact for me came from the story, once you know what you're really working towards it's hard to go back to killing all those monsters just chillin' out in the countryside.

I, too, have played any JRPG made before 2012

Now that the Sony Paris Conference is done I can post this without worrying about it actually happening:

https://twitter.com/GameRant/status/925008322687840257

Every time before every conference this rumor pops up. It's like the "Nintendo is totally gonna announce Mother 3 for the West you guys" of Playstation rumors at this point.

Or like the one hypothetical announcement everyone always brings up as a joke. Like for the past three years a Knack sequel had taken the place of it, but then we actually got a fuckin' Knack II so now PSASBR2 is back to being the go-to.

One day there will be a crossover game where the main gist of the story is that the short and stout mascots are at war with the tall and detailed characters.

Finished new Wolfenstein, it was okay but felt like a game that they begrudgingly put some shooting in to break up the story because it's obvious what they were most interested in.

people who play SotC for the first time next February are in for a treat, especially since they'll be able to play a version of the game that isn't hobbled with hitching and eyebleedingly bad graphics. Only other old game I think really needs an updated remake would be Killer7

Were they bad? The framerate was terrible but the contents of the frame was beautiful even if it did have a deliberately limited color palette.

That only needs to be made available on something other than GameCube and PS2, change nothing else.

Part of this is probably just nostalgia but I feel like SotC loses some of its mystique when the graphics are too sharp. The original had this sort of fogginess to it, it lent it a dreamlike quality.

SotC on PS2 was absolutely beautiful but just ran at like 10fps. The PS3 version didn't really change anything other stability and was the perfect version. The PS4 version looks nicer I guess but it feels unnecessary, they should have just made it a PS2 on PS4 game for 10 bucks

Yeah I thought they were amazing back in 2005 or whenever. Slow framerates but that was typical of the PS2 generation.

everything on ps2 was amazing for its time but a lot of the games did not age well at all. Looking back on even N64 games like Perfect Dark or Nightmare Creatures, they looked lightyears ahead of other games but goddamn idk how I played them at 15fps

Uh if everything was amazing for the time that would just make it normal for the the time. Graphics varied wildly then like they do now and SotC was above and beyond. Of course they don't look great now it's a PS2 game, but they have character.
