/vr/ - Retro Games

MediEvil turns 25 years old today. I'll give it another run soon.

>Favourite game?
...the first one
>Favourite soundtrack?
The soundtrack to the Remake was one of the only things it got right.
>Dream Medievil 3?
Let Sir Dan rest.

The first game was lightning in a bottle and theres a reason that none of the sequels or anything else made by SCE Studio Cambridge was really any good. It's one of my favourite PS1 games and that's really saying something, but unfortunately I really hated MediEvil 2 when it came out and still do.

The PS4 remake could have been alright but holy fuck they ruined the combat and made it extremely tedious. Enemies just run through Dan's sword and the hammer/club weapons take too long to swing. It's a very frustrating game as a result and it doesn't help that shields do fuck all too. One of those cases where, much like the N Sane Trilogy, it gives people false memories about how hard the original game was.
