Title: Shadow of the Beast PS4
Post by: Arkhan on May 20, 2016, 08:10:56 AM
You should go spend the 19.99$ required to get it.
It's probably the best reboot of any of the ones that have come out.
They didn't abuse quicktimes (the quicktime event in it actually has a purpose and is basically like playing Parappa The Rapper while punching the f*ck out of stuff).
The atmosphere is intact.
They have the old game on there. and soundtrack.
It's replayable as f*ck.
goddamn

And YOU should probably use the search function, sucka! https://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=18934.msg403235#msg403235
But seriously, I was wondering if anyone here had picked it up and what they thought of it. Good to know it plays well. I'll have to check it out.

This shit looked extra wow to me, so accidentally ordered a physical copy a few weeks ago. Should be here any day now. Thanks, China. Also, Play-Asia (http://www.play-asia.com/shadow-of-the-beast-english-chinese-subs/13/709tmv), I guess. :3

Im debating ordering the physical one even though I've already pounded through the game twice now.

Dude, just pick up a 2nd PS2, yes, it's that easy!!!!!!:Pjkwesftp'ajwoerpogfWA(IerhgoaWIUEHGv#$%*#)$(% :) Didn't even know this game was out, shame it's digital only. Either way, I don't have a PS4 yet, which is fine. Still catching up on PS1-3 along with PSP & Vita, so I'll hold off for awhile before I get one.

Thank you!

Oh man that JP ps2 Altered Beast was bad. I remember last summer really digging the videos of the new Beast. Is it ps4 only or can I get it for ps3 as well?

Will have to add it ot the list of other import games on my bucket list lol.
Unless t is going to be a "limited" release of physics copies
Yeah, either Play-Asia or whatever other import store. Have no idea if its limited or not, just kinda figured I should grab it because it looks hot and I like the first two original games on Obey and FEKA CD.

I didn't even know about this game. I just went ahead and bought the physical copy. Shipping is almost as much as the game which is great. Honestly I don't remember picking a shipping option so I probably accidentally selected same-day or something. Oh well. I guess the bank won't be getting a house payment this month. Eff 'em, Shadow of the beast is better anyway.

The soundtrack alone is better than my entire home + garage + car freshener + children.

You two are fun. Mr. Joe, guy, sir, if anything ever happens to Dave, you're willing to move esteban into your basement and have him take over, yes?
Title: Re: Shadow of the Beast PS4
Post by: Joe Redifer on May 22, 2016, 03:53:52 PM
No. Only corpses are allowed to live in my basement. Dave will move into the basement once he's a corpse. However he can visit the basement, be on the show and admire the corpses with me.
EDIT: So is this a reboot or a remake? To me it looks like a reboot. Too bad because we JUST got done making a reboot-themed episode. Oh well, next time!

*An esteban and Game Sack crossover, hmm? That'd be hot sauce. Bucci/esteban/Game Sack crossover..? Fire sauce, I say, fire sauce!
*Looks like a reboot, by that I mean it'd be cool if it did well and was the start of a new series.

Just posting here to say that yes, Shadow of the Beast PS4 is absolutely fantastic. It's not the best PS4 game, but it's possibly the best PS4 exclusive so far.
The rhythm of the action is so refreshing. It's a bit methodical (like oldschool Prince of Persia or Out of this World) but has the scoring/replayability of a DMC.
EDIT: it also has some Psygnosis-themed Easter Eggs

This and Salt Souls is probably going to break my vow to never buy digital games (other than Steam).

Some of the easter eggs are hilarious. You can spot sprites from games on the buildings.
I posted on their Facebook to thank them for not f*cking the game up.
The were glad that I "got" the combat system.
It's definitely rhythmic. You are not supposed to just flail like Michael J Fox trying to do the YMCA.
