I am excited as fuck for BF I.
Also, trench warfare can be insanely tense. I remember Cod 2 on 360 was like that on the beach landing mission. Soooooooo many more things occurred in WW I other than trench warfare, and I am glad that will be getting exposure. |

Still time for Activision to make Modern Warfare remaster a standalone game. They'll sell a lot of legacy editions, but e-bay and gamestop are going to see a lot of resells/trade-ins of Infinite Warfare.

Warner Brothers are re-releasing Batman Markham Asylum and City for $50 on Ps4 and XB1. Its weird though, they're putting effort into it by moving it from Unreal Engine 3 to 4... But then gave it to the people who remastered Final Fantasy X and have managed to create the worlds first Demaster.

The first two Arkham games still look fabulous. There was no reason to 'remaster'.
Mid to late generation 360/PS3 games are virtually on par with at least year 1 and 2 current gen games. To attempt to touch them up is now a risk to their aesthetics and fidelity. As said; wtf. |

Re-releases are fine but current gen is not such a jump in tech that games merely a few years ago need to be touched up. Just straight ports are needed. Especially with emulation making all this moot.

Totally agree. I'm all for remasters of the PS2 era and before getting HD makeovers, but last gen... No thanks. Big exception is where there's not a PC version and they can up the framerate. Last of Us was so much better in 60fps.

In regards to the Batman Arkham remastered set, some of the images leaked do look better than the originals but some also look way worse.
Being speculated Chinese developer Virtuous is just porting the PC version straight into Unreal 4 and then quickly porting it again to PS4 and Xbox One without doing any real port work needed since its meant to be a cheap cash grab. Had they used the Xbox 360 and/or PS3 as the basis and done real porting work, the jump in quality likely would have been a lot better or smoother.

The worst part is that it isn't a cheap cash grab; Unreal Engine 3 is fine on PS4/Xb1... They're porting it to a new engine and just fucking it up in the process. |
