Resident Evil 2 just came out today. I am both terrified and in love with this game.

That's makes at least 2 of us. I'm on my way to pick it up now.

I hope I am not too late, but this is one of the cases where the Deluxe edition is worth it, since it lets you use the original soundtrack. There's almost no soundtrack in the vanilla release, but adding it back in makes a much more satisfying experience imo.

Been playing a lot of games recently now that I'm on holidays, finished Night in the Woods some weeks ago, and now I'm dong with Kentucky Route Zero and Hotline Miami 2. All excellent games

Does that remake of RE2 have fixed camera angles like the original?

No, its behind the back 3rd person like RE4 or Gears of war. Feels very modern in how it controls.

I just got to the parking garage and its going great. I love playing it at night with headphones

Oh man, its creepy, but awesome

I enjoyed playing through the RE1 remake, I'll have to get RE2 and play trhough as well but I'll just wait until it's much cheaper since I am in no rush to play it. Nice to see everyone is really enjoying it though.

I finally got around to getting God of War for the PS4.

Man, oh man. What a game. Bravo to the team that made this gem. I enjoyed the original god of war, it was cool, but this new one goes to a whole new level.

Anyone playing the Anthem beta this weekend? I'm playing it now and it's ok. It's gorgeous but it feels like Destiny with a jet pack.

Phoenix87x · « **Reply #4805 on:** February 02, 2019, 06:58:13 AM »

I might check it out. I've watched some footage of people playing and it didn't seem all that appealing to me. And if its anything like Destiny, then its really not for me.

I mean I love Titanfall 2 but BR is not something i've been longing for to put it mildly. They already have the Last Titan Standing mode but meh if it's free and fun, why not?!

The game is reportedly called Apex Legends, and though it’s set in the Titanfall universe, may not actually be using Titans at all. Instead, the game is a class-based battle royale title with squads of three. Presumably even if it doesn’t have Titans, it will still employ Respawns trademark high-flying, wall-running pilot gameplay, which has been a staple of the series and an aspect of it everyone loves.

Apparently it won't even feature Titans which for me makes it even more uninteresting. For me it would have been pretty cool if you could spawn Titans later in the round, that would have switched the scenario completely but of course instead they make a clone similar ot every BR game out there.

I love Titanfall. I'm not sure if a BR mode will work out but whatever keeps the Titanfall IP alive I'm down. I hope they make a third one.

As for Anthem, it's a big pile of meh for me. I think I'll try it when it gets released because I got it for free with my gpu but I'm not really that blown away.

cramx3 · « **Reply #4810 on:** February 02, 2019, 12:52:25 PM »

Anthem doesn't look like my thing, and I'm glad this new BR isn't called Titanfall since it seems nothing like it, but for free and using the TF gameplay, I think it could be fun.

It's confirmed to be in development but probably no release until 2020.

So I bought Frostpunk this weekend, haven't played a city-building game in ages and Frostpunk looked really cool. It's fun but pretty hard especially in the beginning.

Anyone played it?

ReaperKK · « **Reply #4813 on:** February 02, 2019, 01:06:31 PM »

Yes! I love the game, I think I have around 40 hours in it. It has a lot more character than a standard city builder. Prepare to lose your first city

Yea I did that, about 5-6 times before I started to get the hang.

I actually started playing Endless mode Serenity to get the hang of building and so on, it's actually really helpful.

Easily my favorite game of 2018. They wholly reinvigorated the IP, the characterization of Kratos is just fantastic? And the art direction is outstanding. Definitely my GOTY, and one of my favorites of all-time.

I've had that on my steam wishlist for ages now, but I just can't bring myself to spend even that much on what's basically a free flash game like I was playing 15 years ago. Once it's cheap enough I will, because it does look fun though.

TioJorge · « **Reply #4820 on:** February 03, 2019, 05:53:27 PM »

Taking my time with Remake2. Such an amazing game and the absolute definition of what a remake of any game should be. Fantastic balance of nostalgia, fresh outlook and all around fun insanity. I just met Mr. Big and am now playing the game in bursts so I don't have a heart attack at 30. I haven't been this freaked out since the original Dead Space. And that says a lot because that was the first game I legitimately, truly had to put down because my heart rate (high blood pressure, thanks dad) was so high it was making me dizzy. Fucking hell.

"Hey, you hear about that game that killed a guy? It's good".

Totally agree with all that. This game truly does an incredible job of creating real dread, tension and terror. From the first time walking down those dark, smokey hallways, to when Mr. X starts chasing your ass, this game has made me really get into it. I'm so utterly impressed.

Have you seen the X gon give it to you meme yet? It made me laugh my ass off and I hope someone mods it into the game

Bottom line. I LOVE this game

Apex Legends released today, damn that was quick lol. Looks pretty cool but honestly it reminds me so much of Titanfall and it just feels so empty without Titans, there's not even wallrunning or double jump. I might give it a shot though.

Yea it's a bummer and I could swear I heard something about confirmation somewhere. It could also just mean they don't wanna get the hope up too much in order to devote focus on Apex. The fact they've been working on this for 2 years without a single leak or rumour is pretty impressive.

cramx3 · « **Reply #4826 on:** February 05, 2019, 12:13:59 PM »

I dont understand how Apex could take the place of a Titanfall 3. Seems like they could still make Titanfall 3 with a single player and add this similar BR mode to it for multiplayer. I guess that's just wishful thinking, Titanfall 2 was a really solid game and a free to play BR mode isn't a replacement for that franchise.

MrBoom_shack-a-lack · « **Reply #4827 on:** February 06, 2019, 12:39:03 PM »

I heard this quote from EA about BFV and it sadly goes inline with the trend of skipping SP in favor of MP. I fear that might be one reason why Apex with BR happend instead of TF3.

Quote

In addition, we also made the decision to prioritize other features, including a single-player experience, at launch over a battle royale mode. This year, battle royale modes became incredibly popular in shooter games. As a result of these decisions, we struggled to gain momentum and we did not met our sales expectations for the quarter."

MrBoom_shack-a-lack · « **Reply #4828 on:** February 07, 2019, 03:41:58 AM »

Not to derail this topic but of course a new statement was made by the CEO of respawn, whatever that is I guess it's interesting:

Quote

Tons of things planned for @PlayApex in the future. We are also committed to listening to player feedback.

We are also working on more Titanfall for later in the year (yes, I said the T word). We love being able to experiment in this crazy universe!

More quote from EA:

Quote

The Respawn team has a strong plan for Apex Legends that will engage fans for a long time to come, he said. As the live service evolves, Respawn also plans to launch a premium game this year that is a new twist on the Titanfall universe. More to come on that in the months ahead.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #4829 on:** February 07, 2019, 05:04:41 AM »

I've been playing apex non-stop the game is a blast. I'd be super happy if something happens with Titans
