Could it be? Is Astro Bot really going to be the thing that makes Sony revisit older franchises?

      It was called Kurushi here in our neck of the woods; and I’m glad I’m not the only person who still intensely remembers that game from a demo disc.

      I ended up picking up a mint copy to add to my collection; well worth it IMO.

    Some of these could use “Nightdive” treatment like TimeSplitters trilogy.

    Simple a PC version of the game with support for latest hardware and operating systems and support for LAN or self hostable multiplayer would give these games new life among people not interested in modern multiplayer games.

      no shit. a basic graphics overhaul and add mp features would bring in so much money and many fans. the fans of the og consoles are older and have money now, we yearn for simpler times and not being tethered to drm single player games and shitty cash grabs.

      shit, id buy a remaster Mario 64 or GoldenEye in a heartbeat.

    And at the same time, I’m slowly collecting copies of all the old games I used to play, and some I didn’t play as a kid. I just picked up a damn near pristine copy of Gundam Battle Assault 2 for $40. The game basically never fluctuated in value in about 20 years time and I find that hilarious.

    it doesn’t matter what these corporations ‘think’, anything they remake or whatever the hot term is, they will turn it into some trash with a store. That’s NOT why people are seeking games from an era where this cancer didn’t exist.

      I don’t think that’s what’s happening here, unless you’re expanding your definition to be that you’re renting this legacy library with a subscription.
