just noticed the ico watermelon and man that's such a SPECIFIC reference that it just makes it even more depressing
the controller getting jets felt like "we're never getting another Wipeout are we"
Take me to the parallel universe where Japan Studio is putting out all the ps5 games.
when I posted this I had briefly, blissfully forgotten they DID remake Shadow of the Colossus! that was bluepoint's teething thing before they got handed the keys to do demons souls!
look, true. on the other hand, as someone who loved all of Tearaway's uses of PS Vita controller gimmicks, this seems right up my alley. What's Media Molecule doing these days anyway.
I hope something after Dreams mostly failed. I can say Astrobot Rescue Mission is a masterpiece, so I have very very high hopes for this one. It's gonna catch shit for also being this sort of Sony branding mascot game, but Team Asobi puts so much love and detail and polish and fun into these games.
I can't say I don't wish it had a bit more freshness to the visuals the Media Molecule games do. Astrobot has some of my favorite rendering in gaming, but the world feels a bit lifeless with how repetitive and insubstantial the visual motif of robot animals and Playstation assets everywhere can get. It's amazing for what it is, but they've done it 3 times now without much evolution.
Look, it's the thing you love! Something else is wearing it's face! It could be just like old times, all you need to do is f o r g e t
"Remember this game you loved?
Well, we killed that studio and stole their children and now parade them in front of you, is this any better? :)"
