Resurrecting a very old topic. Did anyone ever play this new Shadow of the Beast on PS4?
It was included free with PS Now (now called PS Plus Extra) and I tried it out some time ago now. And I'm so glad I never purchased it. I gave up fairly quickly because the controls were some of the more awkward I've ever used in a platform game. Just felt like you were fighting them, rather then the game. Shame as SOTB3 is still one of my favourite platformer on the Amiga and I really hope this would build on that.
As for the Flashback remake mentioned here also, that remake was actually really good. Never played it right though though. I got through the first few levels to where you start having to take jobs, but never continued. It has that nice feature where you can switch between classic and modern graphics.
The other that did that was the Another World remake. That was a very nice release and a game I had forgotten how hard and unforgiving it was. I remember when originally playing it I played through it quite fast. With the remake I was even finding it hard to get past the first monster!![]()
