MediEvil coming out on October 25th for the PS4
- Thread starter Loudninja
- Start date
not just the framerate, even the visuals looks outdated, seems like small project from very small team.

They are adding new stuff atleast alot of stuff atleast
I don't know why someone would want the game to be actively bad though. I loved playing medievil on my psp back in the day. But the combat was unarguably poor. It's like, do you want the remake to be received well? What's the harm in fixing enemy animations and hit reactions?
Wouldn't a better playing remake have a drastically better chance at getting a sequel greenlit? Especially when some of these changes wouldn't dramatically change the game.
Make sense. It's an over 20 year old 3D action adventure. Like I said, it's for the fans of the old game. It's almost the same game, just shinier. Exactly what I wanted. I want the same game, but prettier. And I hope they will do the same with the Demon's Souls Remaster. I want Demon's Souls and not a Demon's Souls / Dark Souls 3 mix.
This is no job for Bluepoint. It's an easy remake of an old PS1 Classic. It's a small project for the fans. Demon's Souls is a big game that needs a bigger team, like Bluepoint.
I've played the PSP one and it was horrendous. I want a remake of the PS1 and that's what we get here. Not a reboot, just a simple remake like the Spyro games. Like I said, it's for the fans. I want the old MediEvil, not a new version with totally different gameplay.
Like I already said, this game won't sell gangbusters or review well. It's a small project for the hardcore MediEvil fans. As you can see on twitter right now, many MediEvil fans are really happy :) Updating animations? Sure, why not. That's about it tho. Received well? Yes, received well by the oldschool fans like me. Not for game reviewers who couldn't give two shits for MediEvil or Sir Daniel Fortesque. I want oldschool MediEvil. And that's what we will get.

I don't think it looks particularly good, but I also think the original was just "OK" back then, too. I was hoping they'd do something to improve the gameplay, but it looks pretty faithful to the OG. Meh.
this is a cool one to remake right here
still wanting Lammy and Incredible Crisis but maybe Blasto comes next? (RIP phil hartman)

Day one. I adore pretty much any aspect of MediEvil, so being able to play it (and hopefully 2 at some point) with modern assets is all I ever wanted. Hopefully it'll pave the way for a proper sequel somewhere down the line...
I played the ps1 title bc through my Vita. It plays like absolute shit. Fine for something that released decades ago. But why would you ever leave the gameplay as is for a remake? Especially since the changes wouldn't drastically change the game.
I don't think we will get a sequel. It's gonna be 1 and maybe 2 for the fans. Just like Sony remastered/remade the old LocoRoco and Patapon games. But hey, finally MediEvil but with shiny graphics. Like you said "MediEvil but with modern assets". All good :)
weird because you said you've played a ps1 and know what those games look like....what ps1 games look anytging like this?
Nostalgia :) I want MediEvil. The same game but pretty. I don't want something like MGS1/MGS: The Twin Snakes -_-
Same goes with Demon's Souls. I want the same game, but pretty (pretty like the Shadow of the Colossus remaster/remake).
MediEvil was a really rough game carried by its atmosphere. You'd think that a remake would be an opportunity to keep the atmosphere and level design while polishing up the combat and character controls. Turning a good looking but shit playing game into a good looking and good playing game. It would also, you know, ensure that the game reviews well and has good word of mouth.
As is the game is undoubtedly going to review poorly. But I guess this is what the fans want. There are plenty of ps1-ps2 games I'd like to see get this kind of a visual upgrade. But I'd also want some rough edges to be smoothed out.
You're probably right, though if the MediEvil 2 remake becomes a thing I'll be able to die happily. Everything that follows would just be the icing on the cake.
Damn right :) Man, I remember how I wrote an email to Cambridge Studio 12 years ago, asking for a MediEvil sequel and if the IP is dead or not :P Good times. I'm so glad this is happening. And I'm really happy for the longtime MediEvil fans:
We've waited so damn long :)
Yeah it looks ugly, the framerate is terrible and the gameplay seems janky as fuck. They've got a while though.
needs some good polish but if everything is good come this October im down to try it out for sure
Nah, this game and its gameplay is too oldschool and the IP too old to sell really well. It's a fan service game. And hey, that's all I want :)

EH too oldschool dont mean much of anything its a Sony title releasing in October people will take notice either way.
Not in a big way but I dont think its going to do as bad as you think,Sony does not make games for them to do bad lol .
Of course not. But this is a typcial fan service game. See Patapon or LocoRoco. MediEvil's gameplay is so damn "PS1 Classic oldschool", it will get destroyed by the critics ;)
But hey, it's for us hardcore Medievil fans. I'm there, day 1. I've preordered the Digital Deluxe Edition 5 minutes ago :D
Not to say there weren't framerate issues in some spots but I also think some people are getting thrown off by Sir Dan's crazy trademark bouncy strides and camera movement in perceiving the framerate, and it's not as bad as some are making it seem.
Totally digging the art style.

Sony's "International Software Development & SpecOps" team together with "Other Ocean Interactive".
#IDARB on Xbox One, but that was their studio in New Foundland I think.
I don't know whether thats confidence instilling or not ? The framerate is really concerning though.
great date, surprised they didn't have that as part of the stream itself (edit: apparently I was just blind, rewatched the stream & saw they did have the date at the end)
also $30 is just a perfect price point as well
you seriously thought a remake was going to be $20?
