Wow the needle has really switched back over to the big budget single player game. While most online only/live service games are dying. Did not see that one coming, not that I'm complaining at all.

Capcom execs: "Ok everyone, submit your next remake recommendation"
Dino Crisis anyone? 🤣

Well, if anything, perhaps Sony can learn from a proper remake/port? Can't believe they fumbled TLOU. I was looking forward to that big time, having not seen anything about it and going in blind. I'm still maintaining that, though I don't want to play it right now if it runs like dog sh!t. Not going to be the ideal experience for a first timer.
On the other hand, RE4 would also be a blind playthrough since I've never played the original. I tried the demo and it was beautiful and ran flawless. I'll eventually get to it, but I'm glad to know how well it was done.
