@vgmkyle: You should go back and play Chrono Cross... I played the remaster and beat it but man was the game not nearly as good as Chrono Trigger. It was ambitious, sure, but messy in comparison.
Excluding a player base is never a good look for a developer. While the game itself seems unpolished—especially for a trailer—I think most gamers would agree that inclusive gaming platforms benefit everyone by allowing more people to enjoy the experience. For a developer to publicly dislike or exclude PC modders, who have often elevated games and driven unexpected success through high sales, is disappointing. Shame on this unknown developer.
I try to spread the word to everyone that may not know: Sackboy A Big Adventure is a DAMN good game. I played it with my wife and kids 4-player co-op and while it could certainly be frustrating at moments, it also became one of my most memorable PS5 games and an absolute blast. I also have Mario Wonder and enjoyed Sackboy way more.
Edit: That's what I get for skimming. This is the Steam release. Well I guess my statement stands if you can manage to get co-op working on your PC or running Steam to a TV. The couch coop is the best reason to buy this game.
@joecollin: Yes! I had the same disc. I loved the hell out of Tomba 2 and really all of those games. Whoever made the selections for the demos did a hell of a job. Downloading demos nowadays is a nice convenience but for some reason I hardly ever play them more than an hour or two and outside of that I usually know what game i'm going to buy. It's just not the same.
This list is pretty good... There's a lot of good games this year so it's hard to choose. I've only played Astrobot on this list and I loved it. I don't have time to get to every game. Currently i'm really enjoying Silent Hill 2 which didn't even make the cut. And I don't think I would call a card game GOTY. If it ends up winning the game awards, I guess i'll tune it out pretty quickly, but it also isn't going to change my life in any significant way, so oh well. All of these lists are some person's opinion so what does it matter if we all seem to enjoy different genres and games?
@GalvatronType_R: I think both are important. This is to ensure the historical continuity of some of the best games ever made. If they're never remade then we're forced to get the ROMs which have a host of issues and may never hold up, especially over time. Remaster's address the issues and modernize. Also i've read somewhere they're remastering this for a reason which hints at a new release coming up.
