That's enough for today - I'll be back tomorrow with more OPM UK for you kids!
>>12359542>>12359545>it's a good platform romp and a fine game in itself, but just think what it would have been like in 3D... a piece of shit similar to Castlevania N64, if not worse? a fundamentally different game that wouldn't have gone on to become a classic and the second half of a genre portmanteau? the anti-2D bias in these is always so insane. of course TR2 gets a 10/10 for being 3D, even with its flaws. I don't even care for SotN much, but come on
>>12360062they had a fundamentally different mindset back then, gaming was something on the cusp of becoming transcendent, their unspoken imagined endpoint was probably some kind of sci fi virtual reality, and they were crusadors that could tip the scales for that future to become reality. people now know that the highest thing a game can aspire to is just having coherent design philosophy and general craftsmanship, not reinventing the wheel.
>>12359526Holy brutal issue batman!Tomb raider 2 and colony wars as the first review, superclass games and mandatory british games get the spotThen that 2D game that people started to LOVE in 2007.underrated games like: overboard, herc adventures and moto racer.After that, FFVII, nuff' said true believers as Stan the man used to said.This might be one of the most STACKED issues ever in OPSMUK history.Thanks storytime anon.
>>12359372MODSSSSS
>>12359560>4/10While it isn't some super secret hidden gem 4/10 is a bit harsh but then again it did come out when 2D was seriously uncool and that is the majority of the game.
>>12360062bear in mind by that point we'd had well over a decade of top notch 2D games. No matter how good the steak, there's only so many different kinds of seasoning you can put on before you're just bored of the whole concept. 3D was the forbidden fruit of video games. Something you saw on demo reels on high end workstations and tech demos and it was now becoming mainstream and available on cheap consumer devices delivering full GOOD games in real 3D. We like to pretend that we can see through bad games with good graphics and vice versa but in reality we all go WOW when something pretty but flawed graces our path. Now we're so burned out on "realistic" 3D that 2D with good gameplay is preferred, but hands in the air anyone who wants another roguelite or hardcore 2D platformer? Hell, SotN is now a hard sell due to everyone being burned out on "Metroidvanias."
>>12359505Another Final Fantasy? People are tired of them by now, pass>>12359509Now Batman and Robin, that is a certified classic in the making
>>12359618WTF are these game prices? That is some Toys R Us tier shit pricing,
That's enough for today - I'll be back tomorrow with a new thread!
>>12361568I own one of them. It is pretty cool. Pic is one I took for a /v/ thread a while ago. The foot pedal is a nice addition.
>>12361739shame essential issues don't have any scans, only a few spaniard ones got scans
>>12361680see 2d games get plenty of love.
>>12361591>second resident evil 1.5 previewalthough secreen shots are more resident2 than the previous issues reveiw.
>>12362029That does look pretty sick.
>>12359542>You're dropped straight into the climatic confrintation between Richter Belmont and Dracula in a pixel-perfect replica of Castlevania IV's final level.>Castlevania IVI know game journo's have always been retards, but how hard would that have been for them to figure out? Even just playing CV4?
