If you look at the map... the Sites of Grace (the main ones at least) kinda point towards the next place to go. (follow the lightening bolt)

I have zero shame in admitting that I sometimes used a guide while playing Elden Ring. When the Souls trilogy came out I had two fewer kids and many fewer responsibilities. I could stick to my "Blind playthrough first, use guide during second playthrough" guns.

Here is a link to what was shown

Not much here for me personally.
Sinking city 2 (still havent played 1 but love Lovecraftian stuff)
Stalker Trilogy might be interesting.
And the First Berserker game could have potential

Are they only releasing remasters of old games ?
The lack of creativity of this century is concerning.

Lots a of new games coming...
But Remasters are a fast Buck for some of these companies... I personally don't mind older titles getting remastered
Things like the Battlefront Games and Tomb Raider 1-3 are really old and not available on most current devices (as long as they are reasonably priced) But some companies are remastering/remaking games less than 5 years old and that i'm not into. (and charging full price again... no remaster should every be full price)
And right now we will probably see a lot of these companies take the safer route (indie games are were you will see the most risk/reward type scenarios)
if there is any game you want me to keep an eye out for news on let me know

ME Legendary was a full price remaster for all three games, all DLC, graphic and gameplay enhancements/tweaks, plus quality of life improvements. Well I guess that's technically 3 games for full price, but it was well worth it.

Right it breaks down to 20 a game basically. With all DLC etc well worth it. Same for the Mafia Trilogy/Dead rising trilogy. (but again thats 3 games not 1)
*and now Stalker Trilogy (20 a game or 40 for all 3)
Things like Dark Souls and Burnout paradise released at 40/30 i think and those are reasonable prices for a remaster.

PSN sale right now has some good titles for up to 50% off. That new Prince of Persia is on there. I think Dead Island 2. AC Valhalla complete for under $35. Worth checking out if you are a PlayStation owner!

Yep got my first ever Refund lol..
Still got the originals so i can play those. Cant believe a game in 2024 did have invert options. (basically they ported a modded pc version)
Oh well plenty of good games coming. And Spring Sales should be hitting consoles/Steams soon if they haven't already

Nice! I had downloaded the demo and loved it but have so many games I didn't want to pay full price. Thanks for the heads up.

EA did the newer Battlefronts these are remasters of the old PS2/OG Xbox era ones

Ah Aspyr has been dropping the ball lately. Reference to the KOTOR remake....
