Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition (\u20ac79.99) contains two games: Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales (\u20ac59.99 on its own) and Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered is an updated version of the original classic with beefed up graphics and the addition of a performance mode which manages 60fps (dynamic 4K<\/span><\/span>) frame rate. There are vast improvements in the texture and rendering of the environments. Everything is more realistic and the attention to detail is to behold: the weather, lighting, and the people in this world. It feels like a real-life city with improved graphics. Ray-tracing (30fps) reflections are evident as you move through the urban sprawl of Manhattan. Character animation is even more lifelike, and this extra lick of paint adds another glossy layer to this stunning game. The character was remodelled for the game to have improved resolution. These performance updates also apply to the new Miles Morales story. If you haven't played the original game on the PS4, this is a worthy addition to any players library. The city of New York is the environment for this Peter Parker inspired version of the game. This is the vibrant imagining of New York is also the setting of Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man: Miles Morales.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

Miles is the central character (Miles Morales story), the story follows his trials and tribulations as being the new Spider-Man on the block. This revisiting of the original Spider-Man (thematically) as he comes to term with his powers and his place in the world. The themes of family, discovery, maturing, and the lack of black-white scenarios are ubiquitous in this game. Just like the original Spider-Man game, you have a deep and rich story arc with many characters playing into the narrative of the world. The original Spider-Man excelled at storytelling - it made the game feel like a playable interactive movie. a while. I am unfamiliar with Miles as a character from the comics. Miles is duty-bound by honour and loyalty to his family as he tries to come to terms with his powers.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

There are two factions in this world that Spider-Man must get to grips with - the Underground and the Roxxon corporation. The Underground are a terrorist group with aspirations of taking over New York, whereas Roxxon is the security firm of New York. In between the two factions, we will see a host of other characters like Rhino. The game is centred around a web of connections, stories and links between Spider-Man and his world. Gameplay in the story mode is linear but there are plenty of side missions and collectables in the world. The levelling up system allows you to adapt your style of play to how you want your character to be. The gameplay is varied with the choice of all action or the meticulous stealth approach to beat the enemies.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

This Miles Morales story is another fantastic addition to the Spider-Man series. The immersive nature of the storytelling mixed in with playability of the game creates a living and breathing world. Before you know it, you become entangled in the characters and their story. The gameplay is superb with the addition of this fantastic story to make the game shine. The environment, animation, ray-tracing (30fps), and the 60fps (dynamic 4K<\/span><\/span>) frame rate on the PS5 are breath-taking. The game is pure joy. The fighting elements are superb too, the sense of achievement as you chain together massive combos. The voice acting, directing, and production makes this a brilliant game. It's quite the introduction to our new web-slinger.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Overall: <\/strong>9\/10<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The next generation of consoles is here, the PS5 is Sony's next-generation console. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First impressions of the PS5 while unboxing and moving the box is the sheer weight of the PS5, it's a heavy console (Blu-Ray version) weighing in at 4.5kg (9.9 lbs) and the digital version comes in at 3.9kg (8.6lb). The contents of the PS5 box is minimal with a console, a power lead, controller and HDMI included. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As I unboxed the console, two things were very striking, the console design and the controller design. The console is an impressive unit and is huge but the sleek design. It's the main unit is a black glossy plastic that has vents at the back for cooling and air circulation, this is offset by two white plates that have the Playstation symbols embossed on the inside. The final piece is a stand that allows for the PS5 to be used in standing or on its side. The design isn't uniform as the unit goes from a thin base to widening top when standing up with the white plates diverging at the top. The design is reminiscent of a building design as opposed to a console, it looks like a building that has been made into a console. The console isn't one for being hidden in a TV stand, I think it's been purposely designed to stand with the use of the white plates to make it stand out. AV equipment is generally black so this will contrast whatever AV equipment you have. Another thing to note is that you may find it to be a tight fit in your TV stand as it's big and wide. Despite the sheer size, the two-tone colour design, I'm growing to like this big impressive piece of tech. I'm still coming to terms on how massive it is. I assume Sony went for the statement piece of art in your living room\/bedroom should be a PS5. Hidden in the front of the main console unit is a 3 USB-A, USB-C port, ethernet port, WIFI, eject (BLU-Ray) version and power button. The power button and eject button aren't the same sizes so no more turning the console off by mistake.
<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The next piece of kit you will want to get your hands on is the new PS5 dualsense controller. It has the same two-tone effect going on, the controller is slightly longer and slightly heavier than the PS4 controllers. It has a translucent d-pad and buttons, built-in mic, speaker, touchpad with RGB lighting, motion feedback, create button, options button, two dual shock controllers, longer L2 and R2 triggers with extra haptic feedback. A huge emphasis has been placed on the controller as being the next part of innovation for the PS5. The additional haptic feedback in the triggers that allow for touch-sensitive use of the controller means that this will allow for gamers and developers to use it. I will delve into the additional haptic feedback as part of reviews of the games. The charging port is a USB-C.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How does the new tech fair up in the gameplay experience? Once I started the console, the sheer speed and quickness of every element of the console are impressive. The game boot times are drastically reduced and once the games started the loads are dramatically reduced. The console from boot to login is about 20 seconds and then seamless when logged in. To load Spider-Man: Miles Morales approx 15 seconds and very little noticeable load times. The console is a pure joy to play, the quickness and general responsiveness is what makes the PS5 a winner. The controller and extra haptic feedback make the whole experience more immersive and just consume you in the game. Sony has delivered on the next generation aspects of speed, design and the next era of gaming consoles. The next-generation games will take some more time to be developed and released but the speed and architectural improvements make this console a worthy purchase. The SSD, the 4K gaming and overall improvements are visible within seconds of turning the console on. Sound is clear and even more vibrant, all in all, the console is very impressive.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Richard Ryan refusing to disclose his mission and the fear that the vicious attackers would come back, the British soldiers must team up to defend themselves, due to having no access to transport or communication. They are luckily rescued by a zoologist named Megan (Emma Cleasby) who offers them shelter in an isolated farmhouse located deep within the woods. The soldiers soon realize that the vicious attackers are none other than a pack of blood thirsty werewolves.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u2018\u2019Dog Soldiers\u2019\u2019 (2002) is a cult classic British horror film, which is filled with tension from the very beginning, through witnessing a couple brutally murdered in the woods located in Scotland. In North Wales, two hours before the brutal attack of the couple in the woods, the film introduces us to our main protagonist Pvt. Cooper (portrayed by the British actor Kevin McKidd from Trainspotting, Grey\u2019s Anatomy), who fails to join the special forces as he refuses an order by Capt. Richard Ryan (portrayed by Irish actor Liam Cunningham), to shoot an innocent dog in cold blood. Four weeks later in the Highlands of Scotland, six British soldiers including Pvt. Cooper are set out on a training exercise against a special Air Service unit. The six British soldiers led by Sgt. Harry G. Wells (portrayed by the English actor Sean Pertwee from Event Horizon, Gotham), establish a hilarious tight knit group dynamic through their crude and aggressive dialogue towards each other. These soldiers soon stumble towards a gruesome massacre of a group of special ops, with only one survivor left which is none other than Capt. Richard Ryan (Liam Cunningham). They are soon rescued by a zoologist named Megan (Emma Cleasby), who drives them to an isolated farmhouse located within the woods, where they would retreat until the full moon disappears at dawn, as they were aggressively attacked by a pack of werewolves, who had killed one of their soldiers but had only extremely wounded another, due to Pvt. Cooper helping the wounded soldier by not leaving him behind to die. .<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe film\u2019s main protagonist Pvt. Cooper (Kevin McKidd) is a likeable character from the start, due to his refusal of killing a dog in cold blood, which shows that he has a conscience and is someone who would not leave a man behind, which was prevalent when he helped a severely injured fellow soldier, knowing his life could of been endangered, which made his character someone to root for, due to his characteristics that make him a natural born leader with a heart. The character of Capt. Richard Ryan (Liam Cunningham) was an unlikeable character due to his cruel nature, as his character ordered Cooper to shoot an innocent dog and when Cooper refused to, we see Capt. Richard Ryan shoot the dog himself off-screen. Throughout the film Capt. Richard Ryan had no redeemable qualities, making his character potentially traitorous, through giving off a vibe as though he is hiding something for not disclosing his mission to the British soldiers, which might help them defeat the blood lusting werewolves. Overall the cast were brilliant in their roles and gave a performance that was memorable, as they delivered their dialogue perfectly, as the humour appeared natural and wasn\u2019t forced, as they gave a real reaction to the mayhem that was going on around them.<\/span>\r\n\r\nI truly enjoyed this film as it kept me entertained throughout, due to the film\u2019s action packed sequences in the isolated farmhouse, which were especially fun to watch, as we got to see the soldiers use their training to defend themselves. The gory death scenes will hopefully please fans of the body horror genre as well, due to the gruesome portrayal of blood, guts and intestines shown on screen. These action packed sequences and emotional scenes are very effective due to the film\u2019s soundtrack that was composed by Mark Thomas. I also loved the references to other movies in the film, such as the reference to Sam Raimi\u2019s Evil Dead, through naming one of the soldiers Corporal Bruce Campbell (Thomas Lockyer), after the actor who played Ash in the Evil Dead franchise. Another reference I noticed was the character of Sgt. Harry G. Wells which was named after the author with the same initials who wrote the science fiction novel called \u2018\u2019The War of the Worlds\u2019\u2019 . Speaking of the character of Sgt. Harry G. Wells, I loved Sean Pertwee performance during a scene, where he had to be punched twice in order to be knocked out while they closed his wounds with Krazy glue, which was used during the Vietnam War to stop blood and close wounds. This scene was extremely hilarious to watch, due to reading that the actor Sean Pertwee not only got punched for real, but had taken on his role quite literally by having a few drinks before the scene, which made his portray of a drunken individual very convincing. I loved that they used practical effects instead of CGI as I\u2019m not a fan of films that have CGI werewolves, as it brings me out of a film when it\u2019s not done effectively. Two negative aspects about the film for me was that we didn\u2019t get to witness a full werewolf transformation scene, as this film had a lower budget, but the filmmakers did their very best through having shown the transformation off-screen, as the film only shows the claws coming out before the full transformation, which I felt was still effective. I also felt that the plot twists in the movie were a bit predictable, but none the less I was still intrigued to find out, how it was all going to end.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI highly recommend watching Dog Soldiers (2002) as I guarantee you will be stuck to your seat from start to finish, from its hilarious dialogue, that is full of British humour and delivered by a great cast, to the intense action and gory deaths portrayed on screen, that will please both action movie lovers due to the film being action packed throughout and for horror movie fans who are there to experience the extremely gruesome kills.<\/span>\r\n\r\nDog Soldiers has been titled a cult classic British horror movie, due to being directed by Neil Marshall (The Descent, Game of Thrones) and also by having grossed \u00a35 million at the box office when it was released 18 years ago in 2002.<\/span>\r\n\r\nSpecial Thanks to Vertigo Releasing, who has achieved multiple awards for their innovative campaigns for quality independent films, have now announced that the British horror cult classic film \u2018Dog Soldiers\u2019 is now been re- released digitally as a 4K restoration release on the 12th October 2020 with newly commissioned promotional artwork by legendary illustrator Chris Malbon.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8 \/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Dog Soldiers Review","post_excerpt":"British horror film","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"dog-soldiers-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-12-05 14:21:04","post_modified_gmt":"2024-12-05 14:21:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205448","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":205389,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2020-09-24 16:03:18","post_date_gmt":"2020-09-24 15:03:18","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong>\u00a0Hangar 13<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/strong>\u00a0PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One (Reviewed)\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong>\u00a0Action, Adventure<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong>\u00a02k<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0<\/span>\r\nMafia: Definitive Edition is the updated version of the 2002 original Mafia game. There is a mix of story updates, free-roaming mode, and 4k visuals. This update of Mafia has been built from scratch as opposed to just being a 4K update which\u00a0Mafia II and\u00a0 Mafia III have been given in their latest incarnation. The updates for Mafia include plots and aspects of gameplay. Mafia is a heavily narrative-driven crime mob story.<\/span>\r\n\r\nLost Haven, the world you navigate is set in America during the 1930s. Prohibition is in full swing and the mobsters rule their city with an iron fist. The world is detailed and meticulously created, the guns, the cars, the people, the clothes and the language is all of that 1930s era. It looks stunning in 4K, detailed environment, textures, and the lighting is stunning. The game designers have excelled at making the game look fantastic. This is a massive upgrade from the initial Mafia game. The world is huge and immersive. The character textures and detailed facial composition is impressive.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nYou will play as Tommy Angelo who is a cab driver who ends up being caught up in the mob world. It follows his life in the world of the mob, it is a narrative-driven cinematic story, the gameplay centres around predefined missions where you uncover more about the mob and Tommy's life. This part of Mafia is linear despite being in a massive open world, the mission led stories are intertwined in the overall story. The game emphasizes storytelling and gameplay together. The player becomes invested in the characters as you progress through each mission. I was drawn in by the story, there are twists and turns with lots of intrigues too.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIt's easy to think of Mafia as a mob film mixed with GTA style gameplay. There is an emphasis on driving as you are a cab driver but this mixed in with a third-person shooter\/adventurer. If you played any GTA game, the mechanics are akin to it, drive a car around, get out, and complete missions. The interesting aspect of the driving aspects is that cars handle like cars without power steering. This mimics the cars of that era. Ancient cars are what you will experience and it's a throwback to 1930s America, this is captured and plays well. The third-person gameplay incorporates a cover system that underpins the gameplay style. Similarly, the guns are of the 1930s with handguns, shotguns, and Tommy guns. The gameplay mechanics are smooth, responsive, and easy to pick up. There isn't much of a learning curve which means you will be thrown into missions instantly.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhile, the graphics, textures and the draw distance is on point. I found the load times to be frustrating, I'm not sure if this is due to the level detail of maps and how the game loads them. It is quite noticeable from early on and is the only real gripe I had. I found the load times stifling and breaks your rhythm too. Reloading the last checkpoint, new missions, and the open mode ( \"Free ride\" mode) of the game are impacted. The story mode of the game may be a little short too, it took me about 4 days of extended play to get through it however there is an open mode available once you complete the first mission which allows you to navigate the world.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn totality, I found myself quickly hooked to the story mode, and the up to date graphics made everything seem more lifelike. The world is immersive and the gameplay is so easy to pick and play. I mean you will be completing your first mission within minutes. Simply game mechanics and less fuss is a huge bonus. The storytelling, cinematics, soundtracks, and voiceovers give this an authentic film feel. You feel a part of the mob world and invested in your character. While the open world allows you to wander and find missions and tasks to do, I loved the story-based missions the most. The addition of the \"Free Ride\" open mode gives some extra longevity to the game.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe Mafia trilogy which includes Mafia: Definitive Edition,\u00a0Mafia II: Definitive Edition (4K update) and Mafia III: Definitive Edition (4K update) is \u20ac59.99 but the Mafia: Definitive Edition standalone edition is \u20ac39.99.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8.5\/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Mafia: Definitive Edition Review","post_excerpt":" Rise through the ranks of the Mafia","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"mafia-definitive-edition-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:16:41","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:16:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205389","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":190784,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2017-11-07 11:56:23","post_date_gmt":"2017-11-07 11:56:23","post_content":"The official launch of the world\u2019s most powerful console, Xbox One X, brings a new era of immersive 4K gaming and 4K entertainment to gamers across the globe.

  Sackboy: A Big Adventure is the latest adventure of Sackboy on the Playstation, this time he returns to a fully 3D world akin to Super Mario World, but with all the paraphernalia that is associated with Little Big Planet. This 3D world is constructed of various types of fabric, cloth and crafting items. Sackboy follows the well-trodden path of the world-based sections of 3D platformers. Each world has a set of levels that follows a certain theme. The game has the standard and generic plot of good versus evil. In this instance, involving an epic quest in which Sackboy must journey through a series of worlds. The presentation and direction do help drive a firm narrative through the game.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  Sackboy and the worlds in 3D do look exquisite, the level design is done superbly well with a mix of levels. Levels vary from speed runs to your standard side-scrolling linear platform levels. The levels themself use colour, the soundtrack (which is amazing) and this stitched together feel to bring this game to life. Each element from the bad guys, to the puzzles and Sackboy, complement the levels well. The use of actors and some fantastic voice-overs is to be noted. The soundtrack and voice acting add to the level's atmosphere and shows the creativity of designers. The level design and storyline have a super polish feel and the cute design of the world contrasts with the darkness of the enemies in the game. There is a whole raft of licenced music in the game. The game is geared towards family but there are enough elements to keep every player occupied.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  The game is pure platformer goodness that doesn't require a whole lot to learn from a mechanics point of view. The game is an exploration of the Little Big Planet world in 3D, this is a real experience of Sackboy being transferred into this sumptuous 3D world that fits the character so well. Thematically and game design is exactly what seems to make sense for Sackboy and this wondrous world. It's a dreamy adventure. I did find the game not to be particularly difficult as apart from a few time trials. It's learning curve is low.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  4 player local co-op play is available, but I haven't been able to play more than a single player. Online multiplayer will be available via a patch coming by the end of 2020. The game supports 4k at 60 fps too.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  The game is a resurrection of the 3D platformer which is rarely explored, it's like a reboot for Sackboy for modern generation consoles and this makes a good stab of getting the gameplay, world, soundtrack and voice acting into a cohesive story and in turn a game. Sackboy is geared a bit more towards younger ages but I had lots of fun and the licensed music was a pleasant surprise. There are lots to like but a bit too family-friendly for me but I'm not the target audience.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

  Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition (\u20ac79.99) contains two games: Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales (\u20ac59.99 on its own) and Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered is an updated version of the original classic with beefed up graphics and the addition of a performance mode which manages 60fps (dynamic 4K<\/span><\/span>) frame rate. There are vast improvements in the texture and rendering of the environments. Everything is more realistic and the attention to detail is to behold: the weather, lighting, and the people in this world. It feels like a real-life city with improved graphics. Ray-tracing (30fps) reflections are evident as you move through the urban sprawl of Manhattan. Character animation is even more lifelike, and this extra lick of paint adds another glossy layer to this stunning game. The character was remodelled for the game to have improved resolution. These performance updates also apply to the new Miles Morales story. If you haven't played the original game on the PS4, this is a worthy addition to any players library. The city of New York is the environment for this Peter Parker inspired version of the game. This is the vibrant imagining of New York is also the setting of Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man: Miles Morales.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  Miles is the central character (Miles Morales story), the story follows his trials and tribulations as being the new Spider-Man on the block. This revisiting of the original Spider-Man (thematically) as he comes to term with his powers and his place in the world. The themes of family, discovery, maturing, and the lack of black-white scenarios are ubiquitous in this game. Just like the original Spider-Man game, you have a deep and rich story arc with many characters playing into the narrative of the world. The original Spider-Man excelled at storytelling - it made the game feel like a playable interactive movie. a while. I am unfamiliar with Miles as a character from the comics. Miles is duty-bound by honour and loyalty to his family as he tries to come to terms with his powers.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  There are two factions in this world that Spider-Man must get to grips with - the Underground and the Roxxon corporation. The Underground are a terrorist group with aspirations of taking over New York, whereas Roxxon is the security firm of New York. In between the two factions, we will see a host of other characters like Rhino. The game is centred around a web of connections, stories and links between Spider-Man and his world. Gameplay in the story mode is linear but there are plenty of side missions and collectables in the world. The levelling up system allows you to adapt your style of play to how you want your character to be. The gameplay is varied with the choice of all action or the meticulous stealth approach to beat the enemies.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  This Miles Morales story is another fantastic addition to the Spider-Man series. The immersive nature of the storytelling mixed in with playability of the game creates a living and breathing world. Before you know it, you become entangled in the characters and their story. The gameplay is superb with the addition of this fantastic story to make the game shine. The environment, animation, ray-tracing (30fps), and the 60fps (dynamic 4K<\/span><\/span>) frame rate on the PS5 are breath-taking. The game is pure joy. The fighting elements are superb too, the sense of achievement as you chain together massive combos. The voice acting, directing, and production makes this a brilliant game. It's quite the introduction to our new web-slinger.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

  The next generation of consoles is here, the PS5 is Sony's next-generation console. <\/span><\/p>\n
  <\/p>\n
  First impressions of the PS5 while unboxing and moving the box is the sheer weight of the PS5, it's a heavy console (Blu-Ray version) weighing in at 4.5kg (9.9 lbs) and the digital version comes in at 3.9kg (8.6lb). The contents of the PS5 box is minimal with a console, a power lead, controller and HDMI included. <\/span><\/p>\n
  <\/p>\n
  As I unboxed the console, two things were very striking, the console design and the controller design. The console is an impressive unit and is huge but the sleek design. It's the main unit is a black glossy plastic that has vents at the back for cooling and air circulation, this is offset by two white plates that have the Playstation symbols embossed on the inside. The final piece is a stand that allows for the PS5 to be used in standing or on its side. The design isn't uniform as the unit goes from a thin base to widening top when standing up with the white plates diverging at the top. The design is reminiscent of a building design as opposed to a console, it looks like a building that has been made into a console. The console isn't one for being hidden in a TV stand, I think it's been purposely designed to stand with the use of the white plates to make it stand out. AV equipment is generally black so this will contrast whatever AV equipment you have. Another thing to note is that you may find it to be a tight fit in your TV stand as it's big and wide. Despite the sheer size, the two-tone colour design, I'm growing to like this big impressive piece of tech. I'm still coming to terms on how massive it is. I assume Sony went for the statement piece of art in your living room\/bedroom should be a PS5. Hidden in the front of the main console unit is a 3 USB-A, USB-C port, ethernet port, WIFI, eject (BLU-Ray) version and power button. The power button and eject button aren't the same sizes so no more turning the console off by mistake. 
  <\/span><\/p>\n
  <\/p>\n
  The next piece of kit you will want to get your hands on is the new PS5 dualsense controller. It has the same two-tone effect going on, the controller is slightly longer and slightly heavier than the PS4 controllers. It has a translucent d-pad and buttons, built-in mic, speaker, touchpad with RGB lighting, motion feedback, create button, options button, two dual shock controllers, longer L2 and R2 triggers with extra haptic feedback. A huge emphasis has been placed on the controller as being the next part of innovation for the PS5. The additional haptic feedback in the triggers that allow for touch-sensitive use of the controller means that this will allow for gamers and developers to use it. I will delve into the additional haptic feedback as part of reviews of the games. The charging port is a USB-C.<\/span><\/p>\n
  <\/p>\n
  How does the new tech fair up in the gameplay experience? Once I started the console, the sheer speed and quickness of every element of the console are impressive. The game boot times are drastically reduced and once the games started the loads are dramatically reduced. The console from boot to login is about 20 seconds and then seamless when logged in. To load Spider-Man: Miles Morales approx 15 seconds and very little noticeable load times. The console is a pure joy to play, the quickness and general responsiveness is what makes the PS5 a winner. The controller and extra haptic feedback make the whole experience more immersive and just consume you in the game. Sony has delivered on the next generation aspects of speed, design and the next era of gaming consoles. The next-generation games will take some more time to be developed and released but the speed and architectural improvements make this console a worthy purchase. The SSD, the 4K gaming and overall improvements are visible within seconds of turning the console on. Sound is clear and even more vibrant, all in all, the console is very impressive.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Richard Ryan refusing to disclose his mission and the fear that the vicious attackers would come back, the British soldiers must team up to defend themselves, due to having no access to transport or communication. They are luckily rescued by a zoologist named Megan (Emma Cleasby) who offers them shelter in an isolated farmhouse located deep within the woods. The soldiers soon realize that the vicious attackers are none other than a pack of blood thirsty werewolves.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u2018\u2019Dog Soldiers\u2019\u2019 (2002) is a cult classic British horror film, which is filled with tension from the very beginning, through witnessing a couple brutally murdered in the woods located in Scotland. In North Wales, two hours before the brutal attack of the couple in the woods, the film introduces us to our main protagonist Pvt. Cooper (portrayed by the British actor Kevin McKidd from Trainspotting, Grey\u2019s Anatomy), who fails to join the special forces as he refuses an order by Capt. Richard Ryan (portrayed by Irish actor Liam Cunningham), to shoot an innocent dog in cold blood. Four weeks later in the Highlands of Scotland, six British soldiers including Pvt. Cooper are set out on a training exercise against a special Air Service unit. The six British soldiers led by Sgt. Harry G. Wells (portrayed by the English actor Sean Pertwee from Event Horizon, Gotham), establish a hilarious tight knit group dynamic through their crude and aggressive dialogue towards each other. These soldiers soon stumble towards a gruesome massacre of a group of special ops, with only one survivor left which is none other than Capt. Richard Ryan (Liam Cunningham). They are soon rescued by a zoologist named Megan (Emma Cleasby), who drives them to an isolated farmhouse located within the woods, where they would retreat until the full moon disappears at dawn, as they were aggressively attacked by a pack of werewolves, who had killed one of their soldiers but had only extremely wounded another, due to Pvt. Cooper helping the wounded soldier by not leaving him behind to die. .<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe film\u2019s main protagonist Pvt. Cooper (Kevin McKidd) is a likeable character from the start, due to his refusal of killing a dog in cold blood, which shows that he has a conscience and is someone who would not leave a man behind, which was prevalent when he helped a severely injured fellow soldier, knowing his life could of been endangered, which made his character someone to root for, due to his characteristics that make him a natural born leader with a heart. The character of Capt. Richard Ryan (Liam Cunningham) was an unlikeable character due to his cruel nature, as his character ordered Cooper to shoot an innocent dog and when Cooper refused to, we see Capt. Richard Ryan shoot the dog himself off-screen. Throughout the film Capt. Richard Ryan had no redeemable qualities, making his character potentially traitorous, through giving off a vibe as though he is hiding something for not disclosing his mission to the British soldiers, which might help them defeat the blood lusting werewolves. Overall the cast were brilliant in their roles and gave a performance that was memorable, as they delivered their dialogue perfectly, as the humour appeared natural and wasn\u2019t forced, as they gave a real reaction to the mayhem that was going on around them.<\/span>\r\n\r\nI truly enjoyed this film as it kept me entertained throughout, due to the film\u2019s action packed sequences in the isolated farmhouse, which were especially fun to watch, as we got to see the soldiers use their training to defend themselves. The gory death scenes will hopefully please fans of the body horror genre as well, due to the gruesome portrayal of blood, guts and intestines shown on screen. These action packed sequences and emotional scenes are very effective due to the film\u2019s soundtrack that was composed by Mark Thomas. I also loved the references to other movies in the film, such as the reference to Sam Raimi\u2019s Evil Dead, through naming one of the soldiers Corporal Bruce Campbell (Thomas Lockyer), after the actor who played Ash in the Evil Dead franchise. Another reference I noticed was the character of Sgt. Harry G. Wells which was named after the author with the same initials who wrote the science fiction novel called \u2018\u2019The War of the Worlds\u2019\u2019 . Speaking of the character of Sgt. Harry G. Wells, I loved Sean Pertwee performance during a scene, where he had to be punched twice in order to be knocked out while they closed his wounds with Krazy glue, which was used during the Vietnam War to stop blood and close wounds. This scene was extremely hilarious to watch, due to reading that the actor Sean Pertwee not only got punched for real, but had taken on his role quite literally by having a few drinks before the scene, which made his portray of a drunken individual very convincing. I loved that they used practical effects instead of CGI as I\u2019m not a fan of films that have CGI werewolves, as it brings me out of a film when it\u2019s not done effectively. Two negative aspects about the film for me was that we didn\u2019t get to witness a full werewolf transformation scene, as this film had a lower budget, but the filmmakers did their very best through having shown the transformation off-screen, as the film only shows the claws coming out before the full transformation, which I felt was still effective. I also felt that the plot twists in the movie were a bit predictable, but none the less I was still intrigued to find out, how it was all going to end.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI highly recommend watching Dog Soldiers (2002) as I guarantee you will be stuck to your seat from start to finish, from its hilarious dialogue, that is full of British humour and delivered by a great cast, to the intense action and gory deaths portrayed on screen, that will please both action movie lovers due to the film being action packed throughout and for horror movie fans who are there to experience the extremely gruesome kills.<\/span>\r\n\r\nDog Soldiers has been titled a cult classic British horror movie, due to being directed by Neil Marshall (The Descent, Game of Thrones) and also by having grossed \u00a35 million at the box office when it was released 18 years ago in 2002.<\/span>\r\n\r\nSpecial Thanks to Vertigo Releasing, who has achieved multiple awards for their innovative campaigns for quality independent films, have now announced that the British horror cult classic film \u2018Dog Soldiers\u2019 is now been re- released digitally as a 4K restoration release on the 12th October 2020 with newly commissioned promotional artwork by legendary illustrator Chris Malbon.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8 \/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Dog Soldiers Review","post_excerpt":"British horror film","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"dog-soldiers-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-12-05 14:21:04","post_modified_gmt":"2024-12-05 14:21:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205448","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":205389,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2020-09-24 16:03:18","post_date_gmt":"2020-09-24 15:03:18","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong>\u00a0Hangar 13<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/strong>\u00a0PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One (Reviewed)\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong>\u00a0Action, Adventure<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong>\u00a02k<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0<\/span>\r\nMafia: Definitive Edition is the updated version of the 2002 original Mafia game. There is a mix of story updates, free-roaming mode, and 4k visuals. This update of Mafia has been built from scratch as opposed to just being a 4K update which\u00a0Mafia II and\u00a0 Mafia III have been given in their latest incarnation. The updates for Mafia include plots and aspects of gameplay. Mafia is a heavily narrative-driven crime mob story.<\/span>\r\n\r\nLost Haven, the world you navigate is set in America during the 1930s. Prohibition is in full swing and the mobsters rule their city with an iron fist. The world is detailed and meticulously created, the guns, the cars, the people, the clothes and the language is all of that 1930s era. It looks stunning in 4K, detailed environment, textures, and the lighting is stunning. The game designers have excelled at making the game look fantastic. This is a massive upgrade from the initial Mafia game. The world is huge and immersive. The character textures and detailed facial composition is impressive.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nYou will play as Tommy Angelo who is a cab driver who ends up being caught up in the mob world. It follows his life in the world of the mob, it is a narrative-driven cinematic story, the gameplay centres around predefined missions where you uncover more about the mob and Tommy's life. This part of Mafia is linear despite being in a massive open world, the mission led stories are intertwined in the overall story. The game emphasizes storytelling and gameplay together. The player becomes invested in the characters as you progress through each mission. I was drawn in by the story, there are twists and turns with lots of intrigues too.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIt's easy to think of Mafia as a mob film mixed with GTA style gameplay. There is an emphasis on driving as you are a cab driver but this mixed in with a third-person shooter\/adventurer. If you played any GTA game, the mechanics are akin to it, drive a car around, get out, and complete missions. The interesting aspect of the driving aspects is that cars handle like cars without power steering. This mimics the cars of that era. Ancient cars are what you will experience and it's a throwback to 1930s America, this is captured and plays well. The third-person gameplay incorporates a cover system that underpins the gameplay style. Similarly, the guns are of the 1930s with handguns, shotguns, and Tommy guns. The gameplay mechanics are smooth, responsive, and easy to pick up. There isn't much of a learning curve which means you will be thrown into missions instantly.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhile, the graphics, textures and the draw distance is on point. I found the load times to be frustrating, I'm not sure if this is due to the level detail of maps and how the game loads them. It is quite noticeable from early on and is the only real gripe I had. I found the load times stifling and breaks your rhythm too. Reloading the last checkpoint, new missions, and the open mode ( \"Free ride\" mode) of the game are impacted. The story mode of the game may be a little short too, it took me about 4 days of extended play to get through it however there is an open mode available once you complete the first mission which allows you to navigate the world.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn totality, I found myself quickly hooked to the story mode, and the up to date graphics made everything seem more lifelike. The world is immersive and the gameplay is so easy to pick and play. I mean you will be completing your first mission within minutes. Simply game mechanics and less fuss is a huge bonus. The storytelling, cinematics, soundtracks, and voiceovers give this an authentic film feel. You feel a part of the mob world and invested in your character. While the open world allows you to wander and find missions and tasks to do, I loved the story-based missions the most.

  Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is the latest game in the hugely popular franchise of Call of Duty. In this outing, we are in the world of the Cold War in 1981. This game contains a single, multiplayer, and Zombies. It's back to the classics and staples for COD. The game runs at 120 FPS, 4K Ultra HD with ray-tracing.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  The single-player is the mode I always play first despite how much fun multiplayer and zombies is. It's 1981, the Cold War is in full flow, you work as part of secretive CIA led operatives force who are trying to stop nefarious bad guys who are trying to destroy civilization. The story follows the backstories of agents and how they have been brought together and stop impending doom and nuclear war. There are a variety of level styles in the game from low-key stealth missions to all-out attack. The levels are narrative-driven and tie into the themes of stopping the nuclear war and fleshing out the story. The game draws from the previous COD games and modern FPS games, the level design, environments and levels provide a much-needed variety to keep it interesting. The narrative is interesting and is engaging which tries to contextualise that era. Levels, environments, voice acting are top-notch and evoke the era of Cold War 1981.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  However, the campaign mode is short, the focus is on the much loved multiplayer.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  Multiplayer is back with a bang if you have played any of the previous games, it will be a very much familiar mode. It contains a whole host of game types Team Deathmatch, Domination and Hardpoint. The new multiplayer mode is VIP Escort which does what it says on the tin, two teams where one is to protect the VIP at all costs and the other to kill the VIP. I have to say, I love the Call of Duty multiplayer games, there are tons of fun with a whole host of gaming types depending on your preference. There is a huge level of character and loadout customisation too. I'm a huge fan of the straightforward Team Deathmatch mode where two teams try to score the most kills. The simplicity of this game type is what makes it so fun.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  The horde mode of Zombies is back too. In Zombies, the name of the game is survival against huge hordes of zombies. It's simple but tons of fun. This mode is particularly action-filled where you build up currency to get perks and weapons that will help you off the zombies coming for you. This mode is crazy, hectic, action-filled and full of zombies.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has the staples that a COD fan expects, it has a solid but short story mode that provides some context to this series outing. The COD franchise is based heavily on the multiplayer and this is where it shines. The multiplayer provides updated maps and some extra tweaks this year. The game is familiar and lots of fun though. There is plenty of playability and replayability in the multi-player game, the main story has little replay value though. The level design, environments and voice acting are all done well. It's more of the same for COD and it's players. You can expect adrenaline-fuelled first-person action.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

  Demon's Souls is the next-generation version and reboot built from the ground up of the PS3 classic. I'm just putting this out there, I haven't played the PS3 version, it's one of the PS consoles I didn't get. Demon's Souls is brand new to me. I don't have any nostalgic baggage of playing the game though it's considered a classic. I have played Bloodbourne though I will be my reference point for aspects of my game review. Demon's Souls is a third-person action RPG that is considered one of the hardest games.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  For those familiar with the PS3 version, this game looks like a beautifully updated version of the PS3 game. I usually quickly skip through the character creation introduction, but I did spend time on it and marvelled at the rendering of the faces. The game has several classes that you can create your custom character from - Knight, Thief, Magician, and Wanderer to name a few. Gameplay involves navigating quite a linear path to kill a host of monsters. An increasing presence of demons has plagued the world and must be stopped. The game is unforgiving in many ways, while the controls are simple, the player is required to use their endurance effectively to strategically kill enemies while ensuring you don't die. An all-out attack approach in Demon's Souls will lead to many deaths where entire sections of the game must be replayed. You will die over and over.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  It's slick and polished from the very first frame of the game through its entirety. Every creature, beast and monster you meet throughout the game looks stunning. Boss enemies (some are huge) rendered in meticulous detail, each gruesome and gory detail is brought to life. The environments vary from a mixture of ruined castles, keeps, moats, fields and decaying buildings. The use of light and shading lends itself another sense of the unknown to the player. Enemies are hiding in the shadows and creep up on you as you progress through each level. It has the right mix of difficulty, level progression, levelling up mixed in with a beautiful environment and sound to boot. It has the feel of a game that has been lovingly built up and each aspect of the gameplay while infuriating (when you die) make Demon's Souls a fantastic journey.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  Demon Souls looks amazing in 4K, the game supports 4K 30fps in cinematic mode and 1440p upscaled to 4K at 60fps (dynamic 4k). Demon's Souls has both PVP and Co-op modes available that are unlocked early in the game. You can play with friends or other Souls players.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  Demon's Souls is the best release title for the PS5. It looks amazing and plays just as well. While some players will find the game very difficult, it requires time and dedication to get to most of this game. It's not a lie, it's a challenge but tons of fun. There is a huge emphasis on strategy, levelling up and being wary of enemies. The bosses are fantastic, and they get tougher as you progress the game. You will die a lot, but you just need to persist. Demon's Souls is exciting, tough but it is a fantastic must own launch title. Demon's Souls the launch title to beat all launch titles<\/span><\/p>\r\n

  Sackboy: A Big Adventure is the latest adventure of Sackboy on the Playstation, this time he returns to a fully 3D world akin to Super Mario World, but with all the paraphernalia that is associated with Little Big Planet. This 3D world is constructed of various types of fabric, cloth and crafting items. Sackboy follows the well-trodden path of the world-based sections of 3D platformers. Each world has a set of levels that follows a certain theme. The game has the standard and generic plot of good versus evil. In this instance, involving an epic quest in which Sackboy must journey through a series of worlds. The presentation and direction do help drive a firm narrative through the game.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  Sackboy and the worlds in 3D do look exquisite, the level design is done superbly well with a mix of levels. Levels vary from speed runs to your standard side-scrolling linear platform levels. The levels themself use colour, the soundtrack (which is amazing) and this stitched together feel to bring this game to life. Each element from the bad guys, to the puzzles and Sackboy, complement the levels well. The use of actors and some fantastic voice-overs is to be noted. The soundtrack and voice acting add to the level's atmosphere and shows the creativity of designers. The level design and storyline have a super polish feel and the cute design of the world contrasts with the darkness of the enemies in the game. There is a whole raft of licenced music in the game. The game is geared towards family but there are enough elements to keep every player occupied.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  The game is pure platformer goodness that doesn't require a whole lot to learn from a mechanics point of view. The game is an exploration of the Little Big Planet world in 3D, this is a real experience of Sackboy being transferred into this sumptuous 3D world that fits the character so well. Thematically and game design is exactly what seems to make sense for Sackboy and this wondrous world. It's a dreamy adventure. I did find the game not to be particularly difficult as apart from a few time trials. It's learning curve is low.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  4 player local co-op play is available, but I haven't been able to play more than a single player. Online multiplayer will be available via a patch coming by the end of 2020. The game supports 4k at 60 fps too.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  The game is a resurrection of the 3D platformer which is rarely explored, it's like a reboot for Sackboy for modern generation consoles and this makes a good stab of getting the gameplay, world, soundtrack and voice acting into a cohesive story and in turn a game. Sackboy is geared a bit more towards younger ages but I had lots of fun and the licensed music was a pleasant surprise. There are lots to like but a bit too family-friendly for me but I'm not the target audience.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

  Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition (\u20ac79.99) contains two games: Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales (\u20ac59.99 on its own) and Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered is an updated version of the original classic with beefed up graphics and the addition of a performance mode which manages 60fps (dynamic 4K<\/span><\/span>) frame rate. There are vast improvements in the texture and rendering of the environments. Everything is more realistic and the attention to detail is to behold: the weather, lighting, and the people in this world. It feels like a real-life city with improved graphics. Ray-tracing (30fps) reflections are evident as you move through the urban sprawl of Manhattan. Character animation is even more lifelike, and this extra lick of paint adds another glossy layer to this stunning game. The character was remodelled for the game to have improved resolution. These performance updates also apply to the new Miles Morales story. If you haven't played the original game on the PS4, this is a worthy addition to any players library. The city of New York is the environment for this Peter Parker inspired version of the game. This is the vibrant imagining of New York is also the setting of Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man: Miles Morales.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  Miles is the central character (Miles Morales story), the story follows his trials and tribulations as being the new Spider-Man on the block. This revisiting of the original Spider-Man (thematically) as he comes to term with his powers and his place in the world. The themes of family, discovery, maturing, and the lack of black-white scenarios are ubiquitous in this game. Just like the original Spider-Man game, you have a deep and rich story arc with many characters playing into the narrative of the world. The original Spider-Man excelled at storytelling - it made the game feel like a playable interactive movie. a while. I am unfamiliar with Miles as a character from the comics. Miles is duty-bound by honour and loyalty to his family as he tries to come to terms with his powers.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  There are two factions in this world that Spider-Man must get to grips with - the Underground and the Roxxon corporation. The Underground are a terrorist group with aspirations of taking over New York, whereas Roxxon is the security firm of New York. In between the two factions, we will see a host of other characters like Rhino. The game is centred around a web of connections, stories and links between Spider-Man and his world. Gameplay in the story mode is linear but there are plenty of side missions and collectables in the world. The levelling up system allows you to adapt your style of play to how you want your character to be. The gameplay is varied with the choice of all action or the meticulous stealth approach to beat the enemies.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  This Miles Morales story is another fantastic addition to the Spider-Man series. The immersive nature of the storytelling mixed in with playability of the game creates a living and breathing world. Before you know it, you become entangled in the characters and their story. The gameplay is superb with the addition of this fantastic story to make the game shine. The environment, animation, ray-tracing (30fps), and the 60fps (dynamic 4K<\/span><\/span>) frame rate on the PS5 are breath-taking. The game is pure joy. The fighting elements are superb too, the sense of achievement as you chain together massive combos. The voice acting, directing, and production makes this a brilliant game. It's quite the introduction to our new web-slinger.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

  The next generation of consoles is here, the PS5 is Sony's next-generation console. <\/span><\/p>\n
  <\/p>\n
  First impressions of the PS5 while unboxing and moving the box is the sheer weight of the PS5, it's a heavy console (Blu-Ray version) weighing in at 4.5kg (9.9 lbs) and the digital version comes in at 3.9kg (8.6lb). The contents of the PS5 box is minimal with a console, a power lead, controller and HDMI included. <\/span><\/p>\n
  <\/p>\n
  As I unboxed the console, two things were very striking, the console design and the controller design. The console is an impressive unit and is huge but the sleek design. It's the main unit is a black glossy plastic that has vents at the back for cooling and air circulation, this is offset by two white plates that have the Playstation symbols embossed on the inside. The final piece is a stand that allows for the PS5 to be used in standing or on its side. The design isn't uniform as the unit goes from a thin base to widening top when standing up with the white plates diverging at the top. The design is reminiscent of a building design as opposed to a console, it looks like a building that has been made into a console. The console isn't one for being hidden in a TV stand, I think it's been purposely designed to stand with the use of the white plates to make it stand out. AV equipment is generally black so this will contrast whatever AV equipment you have. Another thing to note is that you may find it to be a tight fit in your TV stand as it's big and wide. Despite the sheer size, the two-tone colour design, I'm growing to like this big impressive piece of tech. I'm still coming to terms on how massive it is. I assume Sony went for the statement piece of art in your living room\/bedroom should be a PS5. Hidden in the front of the main console unit is a 3 USB-A, USB-C port, ethernet port, WIFI, eject (BLU-Ray) version and power button. The power button and eject button aren't the same sizes so no more turning the console off by mistake. 
  <\/span><\/p>\n
  <\/p>\n
  The next piece of kit you will want to get your hands on is the new PS5 dualsense controller. It has the same two-tone effect going on, the controller is slightly longer and slightly heavier than the PS4 controllers. It has a translucent d-pad and buttons, built-in mic, speaker, touchpad with RGB lighting, motion feedback, create button, options button, two dual shock controllers, longer L2 and R2 triggers with extra haptic feedback. A huge emphasis has been placed on the controller as being the next part of innovation for the PS5. The additional haptic feedback in the triggers that allow for touch-sensitive use of the controller means that this will allow for gamers and developers to use it. I will delve into the additional haptic feedback as part of reviews of the games. The charging port is a USB-C.<\/span><\/p>\n
  <\/p>\n
  How does the new tech fair up in the gameplay experience? Once I started the console, the sheer speed and quickness of every element of the console are impressive. The game boot times are drastically reduced and once the games started the loads are dramatically reduced. The console from boot to login is about 20 seconds and then seamless when logged in. To load Spider-Man: Miles Morales approx 15 seconds and very little noticeable load times. The console is a pure joy to play, the quickness and general responsiveness is what makes the PS5 a winner. The controller and extra haptic feedback make the whole experience more immersive and just consume you in the game. Sony has delivered on the next generation aspects of speed, design and the next era of gaming consoles. The next-generation games will take some more time to be developed and released but the speed and architectural improvements make this console a worthy purchase. The SSD, the 4K gaming and overall improvements are visible within seconds of turning the console on. Sound is clear and even more vibrant, all in all, the console is very impressive.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Richard Ryan refusing to disclose his mission and the fear that the vicious attackers would come back, the British soldiers must team up to defend themselves, due to having no access to transport or communication. They are luckily rescued by a zoologist named Megan (Emma Cleasby) who offers them shelter in an isolated farmhouse located deep within the woods. The soldiers soon realize that the vicious attackers are none other than a pack of blood thirsty werewolves.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u2018\u2019Dog Soldiers\u2019\u2019 (2002) is a cult classic British horror film, which is filled with tension from the very beginning, through witnessing a couple brutally murdered in the woods located in Scotland. In North Wales, two hours before the brutal attack of the couple in the woods, the film introduces us to our main protagonist Pvt. Cooper (portrayed by the British actor Kevin McKidd from Trainspotting, Grey\u2019s Anatomy), who fails to join the special forces as he refuses an order by Capt. Richard Ryan (portrayed by Irish actor Liam Cunningham), to shoot an innocent dog in cold blood. Four weeks later in the Highlands of Scotland, six British soldiers including Pvt. Cooper are set out on a training exercise against a special Air Service unit. The six British soldiers led by Sgt. Harry G. Wells (portrayed by the English actor Sean Pertwee from Event Horizon, Gotham), establish a hilarious tight knit group dynamic through their crude and aggressive dialogue towards each other. These soldiers soon stumble towards a gruesome massacre of a group of special ops, with only one survivor left which is none other than Capt. Richard Ryan (Liam Cunningham). They are soon rescued by a zoologist named Megan (Emma Cleasby), who drives them to an isolated farmhouse located within the woods, where they would retreat until the full moon disappears at dawn, as they were aggressively attacked by a pack of werewolves, who had killed one of their soldiers but had only extremely wounded another, due to Pvt. Cooper helping the wounded soldier by not leaving him behind to die. .<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe film\u2019s main protagonist Pvt. Cooper (Kevin McKidd) is a likeable character from the start, due to his refusal of killing a dog in cold blood, which shows that he has a conscience and is someone who would not leave a man behind, which was prevalent when he helped a severely injured fellow soldier, knowing his life could of been endangered, which made his character someone to root for, due to his characteristics that make him a natural born leader with a heart. The character of Capt. Richard Ryan (Liam Cunningham) was an unlikeable character due to his cruel nature, as his character ordered Cooper to shoot an innocent dog and when Cooper refused to, we see Capt. Richard Ryan shoot the dog himself off-screen. Throughout the film Capt. Richard Ryan had no redeemable qualities, making his character potentially traitorous, through giving off a vibe as though he is hiding something for not disclosing his mission to the British soldiers, which might help them defeat the blood lusting werewolves. Overall the cast were brilliant in their roles and gave a performance that was memorable, as they delivered their dialogue perfectly, as the humour appeared natural and wasn\u2019t forced, as they gave a real reaction to the mayhem that was going on around them.<\/span>\r\n\r\nI truly enjoyed this film as it kept me entertained throughout, due to the film\u2019s action packed sequences in the isolated farmhouse, which were especially fun to watch, as we got to see the soldiers use their training to defend themselves. The gory death scenes will hopefully please fans of the body horror genre as well, due to the gruesome portrayal of blood, guts and intestines shown on screen. These action packed sequences and emotional scenes are very effective due to the film\u2019s soundtrack that was composed by Mark Thomas. I also loved the references to other movies in the film, such as the reference to Sam Raimi\u2019s Evil Dead, through naming one of the soldiers Corporal Bruce Campbell (Thomas Lockyer), after the actor who played Ash in the Evil Dead franchise. Another reference I noticed was the character of Sgt. Harry G. Wells which was named after the author with the same initials who wrote the science fiction novel called \u2018\u2019The War of the Worlds\u2019\u2019 . Speaking of the character of Sgt. Harry G. Wells, I loved Sean Pertwee performance during a scene, where he had to be punched twice in order to be knocked out while they closed his wounds with Krazy glue, which was used during the Vietnam War to stop blood and close wounds. This scene was extremely hilarious to watch, due to reading that the actor Sean Pertwee not only got punched for real, but had taken on his role quite literally by having a few drinks before the scene, which made his portray of a drunken individual very convincing. I loved that they used practical effects instead of CGI as I\u2019m not a fan of films that have CGI werewolves, as it brings me out of a film when it\u2019s not done effectively. Two negative aspects about the film for me was that we didn\u2019t get to witness a full werewolf transformation scene, as this film had a lower budget, but the filmmakers did their very best through having shown the transformation off-screen, as the film only shows the claws coming out before the full transformation, which I felt was still effective. I also felt that the plot twists in the movie were a bit predictable, but none the less I was still intrigued to find out, how it was all going to end.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI highly recommend watching Dog Soldiers (2002) as I guarantee you will be stuck to your seat from start to finish, from its hilarious dialogue, that is full of British humour and delivered by a great cast, to the intense action and gory deaths portrayed on screen, that will please both action movie lovers due to the film being action packed throughout and for horror movie fans who are there to experience the extremely gruesome kills.<\/span>\r\n\r\nDog Soldiers has been titled a cult classic British horror movie, due to being directed by Neil Marshall (The Descent, Game of Thrones) and also by having grossed \u00a35 million at the box office when it was released 18 years ago in 2002.<\/span>\r\n\r\nSpecial Thanks to Vertigo Releasing, who has achieved multiple awards for their innovative campaigns for quality independent films, have now announced that the British horror cult classic film \u2018Dog Soldiers\u2019 is now been re- released digitally as a 4K restoration release on the 12th October 2020 with newly commissioned promotional artwork by legendary illustrator Chris Malbon.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8 \/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Dog Soldiers Review","post_excerpt":"British horror film","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"dog-soldiers-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-12-05 14:21:04","post_modified_gmt":"2024-12-05 14:21:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205448","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":205389,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2020-09-24 16:03:18","post_date_gmt":"2020-09-24 15:03:18","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong>\u00a0Hangar 13<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/strong>\u00a0PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One (Reviewed)\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong>\u00a0Action, Adventure<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong>\u00a02k<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0<\/span>\r\nMafia: Definitive Edition is the updated version of the 2002 original Mafia game. There is a mix of story updates, free-roaming mode, and 4k visuals. This update of Mafia has been built from scratch as opposed to just being a 4K update which\u00a0Mafia II and\u00a0 Mafia III have been given in their latest incarnation. The updates for Mafia include plots and aspects of gameplay. Mafia is a heavily narrative-driven crime mob story.<\/span>\r\n\r\nLost Haven, the world you navigate is set in America during the 1930s. Prohibition is in full swing and the mobsters rule their city with an iron fist. The world is detailed and meticulously created, the guns, the cars, the people, the clothes and the language is all of that 1930s era. It looks stunning in 4K, detailed environment, textures, and the lighting is stunning. The game designers have excelled at making the game look fantastic. This is a massive upgrade from the initial Mafia game. The world is huge and immersive. The character textures and detailed facial composition is impressive.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nYou will play as Tommy Angelo who is a cab driver who ends up being caught up in the mob world. It follows his life in the world of the mob, it is a narrative-driven cinematic story, the gameplay centres around predefined missions where you uncover more about the mob and Tommy's life. This part of Mafia is linear despite being in a massive open world, the mission led stories are intertwined in the overall story. The game emphasizes storytelling and gameplay together. The player becomes invested in the characters as you progress through each mission. I was drawn in by the story, there are twists and turns with lots of intrigues too.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIt's easy to think of Mafia as a mob film mixed with GTA style gameplay. There is an emphasis on driving as you are a cab driver but this mixed in with a third-person shooter\/adventurer. If you played any GTA game, the mechanics are akin to it, drive a car around, get out, and complete missions. The interesting aspect of the driving aspects is that cars handle like cars without power steering. This mimics the cars of that era. Ancient cars are what you will experience and it's a throwback to 1930s America, this is captured and plays well. The third-person gameplay incorporates a cover system that underpins the gameplay style. Similarly, the guns are of the 1930s with handguns, shotguns, and Tommy guns. The gameplay mechanics are smooth, responsive, and easy to pick up. There isn't much of a learning curve which means you will be thrown into missions instantly.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhile, the graphics, textures and the draw distance is on point. I found the load times to be frustrating, I'm not sure if this is due to the level detail of maps and how the game loads them. It is quite noticeable from early on and is the only real gripe I had. I found the load times stifling and breaks your rhythm too. Reloading the last checkpoint, new missions, and the open mode ( \"Free ride\" mode) of the game are impacted. The story mode of the game may be a little short too, it took me about 4 days of extended play to get through it however there is an open mode available once you complete the first mission which allows you to navigate the world.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn totality, I found myself quickly hooked to the story mode, and the up to date graphics made everything seem more lifelike. The world is immersive and the gameplay is so easy to pick and play. I mean you will be completing your first mission within minutes. Simply game mechanics and less fuss is a huge bonus. The storytelling, cinematics, soundtracks, and voiceovers give this an authentic film feel. You feel a part of the mob world and invested in your character. While the open world allows you to wander and find missions and tasks to do, I loved the story-based missions the most. The addition of the \"Free Ride\" open mode gives some extra longevity to the game.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe Mafia trilogy which includes Mafia: Definitive Edition,\u00a0Mafia II: Definitive Edition (4K update) and Mafia III: Definitive Edition (4K update) is \u20ac59.99 but the Mafia: Definitive Edition standalone edition is \u20ac39.99.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8.5\/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Mafia: Definitive Edition Review","post_excerpt":" Rise through the ranks of the Mafia","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"mafia-definitive-edition-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:16:41","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:16:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205389","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":190784,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2017-11-07 11:56:23","post_date_gmt":"2017-11-07 11:56:23","post_content":"The official launch of the world\u2019s most powerful console, Xbox One X, brings a new era of immersive 4K gaming and 4K entertainment to gamers across the globe.

   <\/p>\r\n
  Samurai Shodown is a reboot of the 1993 SNK beat 'em up classic. This outing is the updated version using the Unreal Engine and bringing the game to current generation consoles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  If you have played the original or any incarnation since the original, you will be well accustomed to the original set of characters and the gameplay. It has that unique SNK beat 'em up style. Three new additional characters added to the roster. For the newcomers, this is a classic 1 versus 1 beat 'em up. You pit your skills against a singular for multiple rounds. It is a brutal action-filled game with lots of sword action. This SNK classic has the addition of weapons which made it stand out when it was originally released. Each character possesses an array of special moves that can take some time to perfect.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  There is a training mode where you can hone your skills before you battle for real. The staple of a versus mode is available for quick local play (against CPU players or friends). The main game has a story mode where you battle through rounds of opponents to face the final boss at the end while jet setting from country to country to find other foes to beat. While the story mode follows a generic well-trodden path of single-player beat em up story modes it's fun in fairness, I usually play this mode first.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  An online mode for playing anyone from around the world adds a huge replay value to the game. There is a battle mode where you try to beat as many players in a row. The game has a unique AI system that will learn the player's moves and allows for this AI to be created as \"Ghost characters\" that can be shared to play against too. There is in the inclusion of gore and finishing moves which can be turned off for those not a fan of bloody violence, think Mortal Kombat gore but without the over the top finishing moves. The game sees the return of 13 classic characters and the addition of 3 new characters that have enough diverse fighting styles to keep the hardened beat em up fan happy. Additional characters are available via Season passes too.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  The Series X version runs at a smooth 120 FPS. Owners of the previous-gen version can play on the Series X|S without any additional costs via Smart Delivery, any purchased DLCs is also transferable.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  Samurai Showdown has that unique SNK fighting gameplay style brought to modern consoles. The superb art style combined with 120 FPS brings a lush gaming experience. A wide variety of characters with the new AI system and online play will mean this game is a must-buy for beat em up fans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Beyond Light is the latest expansion pack in the series.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDestiny 2 is a superb first-person shooter, the game mechanics, shooting and platform elements are slick. It feels and plays very smoothly. It's one of my favourite shooters, it has a mix of a good campaign mode with an immersive online mode. The Beyond Light expansion takes place on a series of new planets that you play through the campaign online modes. The levels and worlds have superb textures and maps. It is slick from the first moment. Destiny integrates the world and multiplayer seamlessly. The maps act as both places to engage in multiplayer activities and online sessions too, it's one hud for all. The action and sci-fi elements are superb, there is a huge range of guns, maps and online events. It makes great use of the next-gen consoles to give an amazing view of these imaginary worlds. Aliens and monsters are well rendered and detailed. The combination of rich level design, simple game mechanics and a fun shooter make this a joy to play. There is nothing groundbreaking, it's more refinement on the existing. I think expectations need to be set, that is just further improvements on Destiny 2 and not a remake.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThere are downsides to the game though, there is a grind to unlock other worlds by repeating the same events over and over again. The campaign is solid but is short. I'm a huge fan of the campaign modes in first-person shooters and a richer, longer story is always more enjoyable. The story, voice acting is done well and the game flows well.<\/span>\r\n\r\nBeyond Light expansion: Xbox Series X and PS5 support 4K 60 FPS gameplay while the Xbox Series S supports 1080p at 60 FPS. The PVP mode allows for 120 FPS on the newer consoles. Cross-play is available in each console family. This does bring a sense of next-gen performance and gaming to the new consoles. It looks fantastic and I had a consistent frame per second while playing. This is a pretty big deal that effectively widens your range of vision and it's never been offered in Destiny 2 on consoles before.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDestiny 2: Beyond Light breathes more life into a fantastic shooter, the next-gen consoles provide an excellent platform and provide solid performance while playing. The campaign is short and I found myself wanting more though. Mechanics are simple, the learning curve is fairly low and there is a ton of customisations available in the game too. It's one for the shooter fans.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 7\/10<\/span>","post_title":"Destiny 2: Beyond Light Review","post_excerpt":"Multiplayer first-person shooter","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"destiny-2-beyond-light-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 15:59:38","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 14:59:38","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205874","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":205837,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2021-01-05 17:14:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-05 17:14:51","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong> Giant Squid<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms: <\/strong>Apple TV via Apple Arcade,<\/strong>\u00a0iPhone, iPad, Mac, PC, PS4, PS5 (Reviewed)<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre: <\/strong>Adventure\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:\u00a0<\/strong>Annapurna Interactive<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nPathless is a wonderful gaming experience where you take the role of an archer with the aid of an eagle. The game is a journey through a forest that has been corrupted and you must defeat the bosses to bring it back to normality.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe game is set in a cel-shaded forest and the art style is the texture of the world you inhabit. The game is open-world technically but the gameplay is fairly linear, the game involves solving a series of puzzles and navigating the world to each boss section. A huge emphasis is placed on the exploration of the world.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe game's main mechanic is using your bow to hit diamonds which gives you a burst of energy that speeds you through the terrain. This is a satisfying sensation when you hit each diamond too. Using this mechanic you can chain together a series of hits to race through the amazing world. There is a real sense of achievement chaining your movement throughout the game. Your eagle is your trusty companion that lets you fly and glide through the landscapes. Puzzles either use a combination of using your bow, pressure points and elements of platforming games to scale buildings. The lack of a map is interesting but further emphasises the gameplay through exploration. The sonar mechanic is used to help you to guide you to points of interest.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe setting, detail and artwork are amazing. It has a unique feel and the soundtrack (Austin Wintory) is used effectively throughout. The cel-shaded textures and the pace of the game adds a real serene feel at times. Game mechanics as mentioned above gives a sense of movement, gliding and flying, it's a wonderful experience. The boss elements are where the land lights up and the use of the richer reds and fire transform this game. This dichotomy enhances the feel of the game, the score sets the mood and binds the games together.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe one downfall is that there isn't much replay value in the game. The game mechanics and puzzles aren't too complex and it's a bit samey at times. When a boss is encountered it breaks up the gameplay considerably and turns the game into another cinematic feast. I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and the cinematics of the world. I liked the emphasis on experiencing the game with the sparse tutorial and no map. It's a game that craves to be explored. It's something that will take probably less than 10 hours to complete. If you are looking for something a bit different on the PS5\/PS4, I would recommend getting it. I found so many parts enjoyable, it's a feast for the eyes and ears.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong>\u00a08\/10<\/span>","post_title":"The Pathless Review","post_excerpt":"Wonderful gaming experience","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"the-pathless-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:06:14","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:06:14","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205837","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":205829,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2021-01-04 17:09:51","post_date_gmt":"2021-01-04 17:09:51","post_content":"

  Observer: System Redux is a psychological horror thriller set in a futuristic cyberpunk world. You play the role of Daniel Lazarski (Rutger Hauer) an observer detective. You investigate an anonymous call and you follow this journey through this dystopian world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  The first thing is the striking visuals mixed with the mixture of cyberpunk elements, modified humans and a sense of unease of your surroundings. It's a first-person detective game where you have to get to the bottom of a series of strange events. As a neural detective, the key elements involve investigating crime scenes using your additional powers (human mods). There is one critical ability which is the ability to hack the minds of humans. Observer draws on this gameplay mechanic to help further the investigation. It's also used for dramatic effect to provide further tension, suspense and horror to the game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  The voice acting is superb, the interactions with NPCs is fantastic, there is an amazing amount of detail. Corridors and hallways are dimly lit, it's a dark world with neon lights that stand out. The artwork, levels and the whole game combines all the aspects superbly. The game is linear but there is a wonderful build-up of the atmosphere, tension and dread throughout. The voice acting and characters you meet make each interaction noteworthy and interesting. It all plays into this fantastic horror game. The tone, music, and effects all add to the air of uncertainty too.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  I played on the Xbox Series X, this version has updated graphics (textures, models and effects), the graphics look superb and provides a much-needed update for next-gen consoles. PS 5 and Xbox Series X support 4K at 60 fps, this is with no ray tracing.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  Characters, details, voice acting and cinematics add a superb sense of dread, horror and an uneasy sense to the whole game. This game has a tense and thrilling atmosphere that underpins the whole game. It's eerie, moody and full of dread. The game gets the mix of cinematics and cyberpunk elements right. All the elements work amazingly well together.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

  Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is the latest game in the hugely popular franchise of Call of Duty. In this outing, we are in the world of the Cold War in 1981. This game contains a single, multiplayer, and Zombies. It's back to the classics and staples for COD. The game runs at 120 FPS, 4K Ultra HD with ray-tracing.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  The single-player is the mode I always play first despite how much fun multiplayer and zombies is. It's 1981, the Cold War is in full flow, you work as part of secretive CIA led operatives force who are trying to stop nefarious bad guys who are trying to destroy civilization. The story follows the backstories of agents and how they have been brought together and stop impending doom and nuclear war. There are a variety of level styles in the game from low-key stealth missions to all-out attack. The levels are narrative-driven and tie into the themes of stopping the nuclear war and fleshing out the story. The game draws from the previous COD games and modern FPS games, the level design, environments and levels provide a much-needed variety to keep it interesting. The narrative is interesting and is engaging which tries to contextualise that era. Levels, environments, voice acting are top-notch and evoke the era of Cold War 1981.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  However, the campaign mode is short, the focus is on the much loved multiplayer.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  Multiplayer is back with a bang if you have played any of the previous games, it will be a very much familiar mode. It contains a whole host of game types Team Deathmatch, Domination and Hardpoint. The new multiplayer mode is VIP Escort which does what it says on the tin, two teams where one is to protect the VIP at all costs and the other to kill the VIP. I have to say, I love the Call of Duty multiplayer games, there are tons of fun with a whole host of gaming types depending on your preference. There is a huge level of character and loadout customisation too. I'm a huge fan of the straightforward Team Deathmatch mode where two teams try to score the most kills. The simplicity of this game type is what makes it so fun.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  The horde mode of Zombies is back too. In Zombies, the name of the game is survival against huge hordes of zombies. It's simple but tons of fun. This mode is particularly action-filled where you build up currency to get perks and weapons that will help you off the zombies coming for you. This mode is crazy, hectic, action-filled and full of zombies.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has the staples that a COD fan expects, it has a solid but short story mode that provides some context to this series outing. The COD franchise is based heavily on the multiplayer and this is where it shines. The multiplayer provides updated maps and some extra tweaks this year. The game is familiar and lots of fun though. There is plenty of playability and replayability in the multi-player game, the main story has little replay value though. The level design, environments and voice acting are all done well. It's more of the same for COD and it's players. You can expect adrenaline-fuelled first-person action.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

  Demon's Souls is the next-generation version and reboot built from the ground up of the PS3 classic. I'm just putting this out there, I haven't played the PS3 version, it's one of the PS consoles I didn't get. Demon's Souls is brand new to me. I don't have any nostalgic baggage of playing the game though it's considered a classic. I have played Bloodbourne though I will be my reference point for aspects of my game review. Demon's Souls is a third-person action RPG that is considered one of the hardest games.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  For those familiar with the PS3 version, this game looks like a beautifully updated version of the PS3 game. I usually quickly skip through the character creation introduction, but I did spend time on it and marvelled at the rendering of the faces. The game has several classes that you can create your custom character from - Knight, Thief, Magician, and Wanderer to name a few. Gameplay involves navigating quite a linear path to kill a host of monsters. An increasing presence of demons has plagued the world and must be stopped. The game is unforgiving in many ways, while the controls are simple, the player is required to use their endurance effectively to strategically kill enemies while ensuring you don't die. An all-out attack approach in Demon's Souls will lead to many deaths where entire sections of the game must be replayed. You will die over and over.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  It's slick and polished from the very first frame of the game through its entirety. Every creature, beast and monster you meet throughout the game looks stunning. Boss enemies (some are huge) rendered in meticulous detail, each gruesome and gory detail is brought to life. The environments vary from a mixture of ruined castles, keeps, moats, fields and decaying buildings. The use of light and shading lends itself another sense of the unknown to the player. Enemies are hiding in the shadows and creep up on you as you progress through each level. It has the right mix of difficulty, level progression, levelling up mixed in with a beautiful environment and sound to boot. It has the feel of a game that has been lovingly built up and each aspect of the gameplay while infuriating (when you die) make Demon's Souls a fantastic journey.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  Demon Souls looks amazing in 4K, the game supports 4K 30fps in cinematic mode and 1440p upscaled to 4K at 60fps (dynamic 4k). Demon's Souls has both PVP and Co-op modes available that are unlocked early in the game. You can play with friends or other Souls players.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  Demon's Souls is the best release title for the PS5. It looks amazing and plays just as well. While some players will find the game very difficult, it requires time and dedication to get to most of this game. It's not a lie, it's a challenge but tons of fun. There is a huge emphasis on strategy, levelling up and being wary of enemies. The bosses are fantastic, and they get tougher as you progress the game. You will die a lot, but you just need to persist. Demon's Souls is exciting, tough but it is a fantastic must own launch title. Demon's Souls the launch title to beat all launch titles<\/span><\/p>\r\n

  Sackboy: A Big Adventure is the latest adventure of Sackboy on the Playstation, this time he returns to a fully 3D world akin to Super Mario World, but with all the paraphernalia that is associated with Little Big Planet. This 3D world is constructed of various types of fabric, cloth and crafting items. Sackboy follows the well-trodden path of the world-based sections of 3D platformers. Each world has a set of levels that follows a certain theme. The game has the standard and generic plot of good versus evil. In this instance, involving an epic quest in which Sackboy must journey through a series of worlds. The presentation and direction do help drive a firm narrative through the game.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  Sackboy and the worlds in 3D do look exquisite, the level design is done superbly well with a mix of levels. Levels vary from speed runs to your standard side-scrolling linear platform levels. The levels themself use colour, the soundtrack (which is amazing) and this stitched together feel to bring this game to life. Each element from the bad guys, to the puzzles and Sackboy, complement the levels well. The use of actors and some fantastic voice-overs is to be noted. The soundtrack and voice acting add to the level's atmosphere and shows the creativity of designers. The level design and storyline have a super polish feel and the cute design of the world contrasts with the darkness of the enemies in the game. There is a whole raft of licenced music in the game. The game is geared towards family but there are enough elements to keep every player occupied.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  The game is pure platformer goodness that doesn't require a whole lot to learn from a mechanics point of view. The game is an exploration of the Little Big Planet world in 3D, this is a real experience of Sackboy being transferred into this sumptuous 3D world that fits the character so well. Thematically and game design is exactly what seems to make sense for Sackboy and this wondrous world. It's a dreamy adventure. I did find the game not to be particularly difficult as apart from a few time trials. It's learning curve is low.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  4 player local co-op play is available, but I haven't been able to play more than a single player. Online multiplayer will be available via a patch coming by the end of 2020. The game supports 4k at 60 fps too.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  The game is a resurrection of the 3D platformer which is rarely explored, it's like a reboot for Sackboy for modern generation consoles and this makes a good stab of getting the gameplay, world, soundtrack and voice acting into a cohesive story and in turn a game. Sackboy is geared a bit more towards younger ages but I had lots of fun and the licensed music was a pleasant surprise. There are lots to like but a bit too family-friendly for me but I'm not the target audience.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

  Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition (\u20ac79.99) contains two games: Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales (\u20ac59.99 on its own) and Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered is an updated version of the original classic with beefed up graphics and the addition of a performance mode which manages 60fps (dynamic 4K<\/span><\/span>) frame rate. There are vast improvements in the texture and rendering of the environments. Everything is more realistic and the attention to detail is to behold: the weather, lighting, and the people in this world. It feels like a real-life city with improved graphics. Ray-tracing (30fps) reflections are evident as you move through the urban sprawl of Manhattan. Character animation is even more lifelike, and this extra lick of paint adds another glossy layer to this stunning game. The character was remodelled for the game to have improved resolution. These performance updates also apply to the new Miles Morales story. If you haven't played the original game on the PS4, this is a worthy addition to any players library. The city of New York is the environment for this Peter Parker inspired version of the game. This is the vibrant imagining of New York is also the setting of Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man: Miles Morales.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  Miles is the central character (Miles Morales story), the story follows his trials and tribulations as being the new Spider-Man on the block. This revisiting of the original Spider-Man (thematically) as he comes to term with his powers and his place in the world. The themes of family, discovery, maturing, and the lack of black-white scenarios are ubiquitous in this game. Just like the original Spider-Man game, you have a deep and rich story arc with many characters playing into the narrative of the world. The original Spider-Man excelled at storytelling - it made the game feel like a playable interactive movie. a while. I am unfamiliar with Miles as a character from the comics. Miles is duty-bound by honour and loyalty to his family as he tries to come to terms with his powers.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  There are two factions in this world that Spider-Man must get to grips with - the Underground and the Roxxon corporation. The Underground are a terrorist group with aspirations of taking over New York, whereas Roxxon is the security firm of New York. In between the two factions, we will see a host of other characters like Rhino. The game is centred around a web of connections, stories and links between Spider-Man and his world. Gameplay in the story mode is linear but there are plenty of side missions and collectables in the world. The levelling up system allows you to adapt your style of play to how you want your character to be. The gameplay is varied with the choice of all action or the meticulous stealth approach to beat the enemies.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
  <\/p>\r\n
  This Miles Morales story is another fantastic addition to the Spider-Man series. The immersive nature of the storytelling mixed in with playability of the game creates a living and breathing world. Before you know it, you become entangled in the characters and their story. The gameplay is superb with the addition of this fantastic story to make the game shine. The environment, animation, ray-tracing (30fps), and the 60fps (dynamic 4K<\/span><\/span>) frame rate on the PS5 are breath-taking. The game is pure joy. The fighting elements are superb too, the sense of achievement as you chain together massive combos. The voice acting, directing, and production makes this a brilliant game. It's quite the introduction to our new web-slinger.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

  The next generation of consoles is here, the PS5 is Sony's next-generation console. <\/span><\/p>\n
  <\/p>\n
  First impressions of the PS5 while unboxing and moving the box is the sheer weight of the PS5, it's a heavy console (Blu-Ray version) weighing in at 4.5kg (9.9 lbs) and the digital version comes in at 3.9kg (8.6lb). The contents of the PS5 box is minimal with a console, a power lead, controller and HDMI included. <\/span><\/p>\n
  <\/p>\n
  As I unboxed the console, two things were very striking, the console design and the controller design. The console is an impressive unit and is huge but the sleek design. It's the main unit is a black glossy plastic that has vents at the back for cooling and air circulation, this is offset by two white plates that have the Playstation symbols embossed on the inside. The final piece is a stand that allows for the PS5 to be used in standing or on its side. The design isn't uniform as the unit goes from a thin base to widening top when standing up with the white plates diverging at the top. The design is reminiscent of a building design as opposed to a console, it looks like a building that has been made into a console. The console isn't one for being hidden in a TV stand, I think it's been purposely designed to stand with the use of the white plates to make it stand out. AV equipment is generally black so this will contrast whatever AV equipment you have. Another thing to note is that you may find it to be a tight fit in your TV stand as it's big and wide. Despite the sheer size, the two-tone colour design, I'm growing to like this big impressive piece of tech. I'm still coming to terms on how massive it is. I assume Sony went for the statement piece of art in your living room\/bedroom should be a PS5. Hidden in the front of the main console unit is a 3 USB-A, USB-C port, ethernet port, WIFI, eject (BLU-Ray) version and power button. The power button and eject button aren't the same sizes so no more turning the console off by mistake. 
  <\/span><\/p>\n
  <\/p>\n
  The next piece of kit you will want to get your hands on is the new PS5 dualsense controller. It has the same two-tone effect going on, the controller is slightly longer and slightly heavier than the PS4 controllers. It has a translucent d-pad and buttons, built-in mic, speaker, touchpad with RGB lighting, motion feedback, create button, options button, two dual shock controllers, longer L2 and R2 triggers with extra haptic feedback. A huge emphasis has been placed on the controller as being the next part of innovation for the PS5. The additional haptic feedback in the triggers that allow for touch-sensitive use of the controller means that this will allow for gamers and developers to use it. I will delve into the additional haptic feedback as part of reviews of the games. The charging port is a USB-C.<\/span><\/p>\n
  <\/p>\n
  How does the new tech fair up in the gameplay experience? Once I started the console, the sheer speed and quickness of every element of the console are impressive. The game boot times are drastically reduced and once the games started the loads are dramatically reduced. The console from boot to login is about 20 seconds and then seamless when logged in. To load Spider-Man: Miles Morales approx 15 seconds and very little noticeable load times. The console is a pure joy to play, the quickness and general responsiveness is what makes the PS5 a winner. The controller and extra haptic feedback make the whole experience more immersive and just consume you in the game. Sony has delivered on the next generation aspects of speed, design and the next era of gaming consoles. The next-generation games will take some more time to be developed and released but the speed and architectural improvements make this console a worthy purchase. The SSD, the 4K gaming and overall improvements are visible within seconds of turning the console on. Sound is clear and even more vibrant, all in all, the console is very impressive.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Richard Ryan refusing to disclose his mission and the fear that the vicious attackers would come back, the British soldiers must team up to defend themselves, due to having no access to transport or communication. They are luckily rescued by a zoologist named Megan (Emma Cleasby) who offers them shelter in an isolated farmhouse located deep within the woods. The soldiers soon realize that the vicious attackers are none other than a pack of blood thirsty werewolves.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u2018\u2019Dog Soldiers\u2019\u2019 (2002) is a cult classic British horror film, which is filled with tension from the very beginning, through witnessing a couple brutally murdered in the woods located in Scotland. In North Wales, two hours before the brutal attack of the couple in the woods, the film introduces us to our main protagonist Pvt. Cooper (portrayed by the British actor Kevin McKidd from Trainspotting, Grey\u2019s Anatomy), who fails to join the special forces as he refuses an order by Capt. Richard Ryan (portrayed by Irish actor Liam Cunningham), to shoot an innocent dog in cold blood. Four weeks later in the Highlands of Scotland, six British soldiers including Pvt. Cooper are set out on a training exercise against a special Air Service unit. The six British soldiers led by Sgt. Harry G. Wells (portrayed by the English actor Sean Pertwee from Event Horizon, Gotham), establish a hilarious tight knit group dynamic through their crude and aggressive dialogue towards each other. These soldiers soon stumble towards a gruesome massacre of a group of special ops, with only one survivor left which is none other than Capt. Richard Ryan (Liam Cunningham). They are soon rescued by a zoologist named Megan (Emma Cleasby), who drives them to an isolated farmhouse located within the woods, where they would retreat until the full moon disappears at dawn, as they were aggressively attacked by a pack of werewolves, who had killed one of their soldiers but had only extremely wounded another, due to Pvt. Cooper helping the wounded soldier by not leaving him behind to die. .<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe film\u2019s main protagonist Pvt. Cooper (Kevin McKidd) is a likeable character from the start, due to his refusal of killing a dog in cold blood, which shows that he has a conscience and is someone who would not leave a man behind, which was prevalent when he helped a severely injured fellow soldier, knowing his life could of been endangered, which made his character someone to root for, due to his characteristics that make him a natural born leader with a heart. The character of Capt. Richard Ryan (Liam Cunningham) was an unlikeable character due to his cruel nature, as his character ordered Cooper to shoot an innocent dog and when Cooper refused to, we see Capt. Richard Ryan shoot the dog himself off-screen. Throughout the film Capt. Richard Ryan had no redeemable qualities, making his character potentially traitorous, through giving off a vibe as though he is hiding something for not disclosing his mission to the British soldiers, which might help them defeat the blood lusting werewolves. Overall the cast were brilliant in their roles and gave a performance that was memorable, as they delivered their dialogue perfectly, as the humour appeared natural and wasn\u2019t forced, as they gave a real reaction to the mayhem that was going on around them.<\/span>\r\n\r\nI truly enjoyed this film as it kept me entertained throughout, due to the film\u2019s action packed sequences in the isolated farmhouse, which were especially fun to watch, as we got to see the soldiers use their training to defend themselves. The gory death scenes will hopefully please fans of the body horror genre as well, due to the gruesome portrayal of blood, guts and intestines shown on screen. These action packed sequences and emotional scenes are very effective due to the film\u2019s soundtrack that was composed by Mark Thomas. I also loved the references to other movies in the film, such as the reference to Sam Raimi\u2019s Evil Dead, through naming one of the soldiers Corporal Bruce Campbell (Thomas Lockyer), after the actor who played Ash in the Evil Dead franchise. Another reference I noticed was the character of Sgt. Harry G. Wells which was named after the author with the same initials who wrote the science fiction novel called \u2018\u2019The War of the Worlds\u2019\u2019 . Speaking of the character of Sgt. Harry G. Wells, I loved Sean Pertwee performance during a scene, where he had to be punched twice in order to be knocked out while they closed his wounds with Krazy glue, which was used during the Vietnam War to stop blood and close wounds. This scene was extremely hilarious to watch, due to reading that the actor Sean Pertwee not only got punched for real, but had taken on his role quite literally by having a few drinks before the scene, which made his portray of a drunken individual very convincing. I loved that they used practical effects instead of CGI as I\u2019m not a fan of films that have CGI werewolves, as it brings me out of a film when it\u2019s not done effectively. Two negative aspects about the film for me was that we didn\u2019t get to witness a full werewolf transformation scene, as this film had a lower budget, but the filmmakers did their very best through having shown the transformation off-screen, as the film only shows the claws coming out before the full transformation, which I felt was still effective. I also felt that the plot twists in the movie were a bit predictable, but none the less I was still intrigued to find out, how it was all going to end.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI highly recommend watching Dog Soldiers (2002) as I guarantee you will be stuck to your seat from start to finish, from its hilarious dialogue, that is full of British humour and delivered by a great cast, to the intense action and gory deaths portrayed on screen, that will please both action movie lovers due to the film being action packed throughout and for horror movie fans who are there to experience the extremely gruesome kills.<\/span>\r\n\r\nDog Soldiers has been titled a cult classic British horror movie, due to being directed by Neil Marshall (The Descent, Game of Thrones) and also by having grossed \u00a35 million at the box office when it was released 18 years ago in 2002.<\/span>\r\n\r\nSpecial Thanks to Vertigo Releasing, who has achieved multiple awards for their innovative campaigns for quality independent films, have now announced that the British horror cult classic film \u2018Dog Soldiers\u2019 is now been re- released digitally as a 4K restoration release on the 12th October 2020 with newly commissioned promotional artwork by legendary illustrator Chris Malbon.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8 \/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Dog Soldiers Review","post_excerpt":"British horror film","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"dog-soldiers-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-12-05 14:21:04","post_modified_gmt":"2024-12-05 14:21:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205448","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":205389,"post_author":"11","post_date":"2020-09-24 16:03:18","post_date_gmt":"2020-09-24 15:03:18","post_content":"Developer:<\/strong>\u00a0Hangar 13<\/span>\r\n\r\nPlatforms:<\/strong>\u00a0PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One (Reviewed)\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong>\u00a0Action, Adventure<\/span>\r\n\r\nPublisher:<\/strong>\u00a02k<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0<\/span>\r\nMafia: Definitive Edition is the updated version of the 2002 original Mafia game. There is a mix of story updates, free-roaming mode, and 4k visuals. This update of Mafia has been built from scratch as opposed to just being a 4K update which\u00a0Mafia II and\u00a0 Mafia III have been given in their latest incarnation. The updates for Mafia include plots and aspects of gameplay. Mafia is a heavily narrative-driven crime mob story.<\/span>\r\n\r\nLost Haven, the world you navigate is set in America during the 1930s. Prohibition is in full swing and the mobsters rule their city with an iron fist. The world is detailed and meticulously created, the guns, the cars, the people, the clothes and the language is all of that 1930s era. It looks stunning in 4K, detailed environment, textures, and the lighting is stunning. The game designers have excelled at making the game look fantastic. This is a massive upgrade from the initial Mafia game. The world is huge and immersive. The character textures and detailed facial composition is impressive.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nYou will play as Tommy Angelo who is a cab driver who ends up being caught up in the mob world. It follows his life in the world of the mob, it is a narrative-driven cinematic story, the gameplay centres around predefined missions where you uncover more about the mob and Tommy's life. This part of Mafia is linear despite being in a massive open world, the mission led stories are intertwined in the overall story. The game emphasizes storytelling and gameplay together. The player becomes invested in the characters as you progress through each mission. I was drawn in by the story, there are twists and turns with lots of intrigues too.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIt's easy to think of Mafia as a mob film mixed with GTA style gameplay. There is an emphasis on driving as you are a cab driver but this mixed in with a third-person shooter\/adventurer. If you played any GTA game, the mechanics are akin to it, drive a car around, get out, and complete missions. The interesting aspect of the driving aspects is that cars handle like cars without power steering. This mimics the cars of that era. Ancient cars are what you will experience and it's a throwback to 1930s America, this is captured and plays well. The third-person gameplay incorporates a cover system that underpins the gameplay style. Similarly, the guns are of the 1930s with handguns, shotguns, and Tommy guns. The gameplay mechanics are smooth, responsive, and easy to pick up. There isn't much of a learning curve which means you will be thrown into missions instantly.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWhile, the graphics, textures and the draw distance is on point. I found the load times to be frustrating, I'm not sure if this is due to the level detail of maps and how the game loads them. It is quite noticeable from early on and is the only real gripe I had. I found the load times stifling and breaks your rhythm too. Reloading the last checkpoint, new missions, and the open mode ( \"Free ride\" mode) of the game are impacted. The story mode of the game may be a little short too, it took me about 4 days of extended play to get through it however there is an open mode available once you complete the first mission which allows you to navigate the world.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn totality, I found myself quickly hooked to the story mode, and the up to date graphics made everything seem more lifelike. The world is immersive and the gameplay is so easy to pick and play. I mean you will be completing your first mission within minutes. Simply game mechanics and less fuss is a huge bonus. The storytelling, cinematics, soundtracks, and voiceovers give this an authentic film feel. You feel a part of the mob world and invested in your character. While the open world allows you to wander and find missions and tasks to do, I loved the story-based missions the most. The addition of the \"Free Ride\" open mode gives some extra longevity to the game.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe Mafia trilogy which includes Mafia: Definitive Edition,\u00a0Mafia II: Definitive Edition (4K update) and Mafia III: Definitive Edition (4K update) is \u20ac59.99 but the Mafia: Definitive Edition standalone edition is \u20ac39.99.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8.5\/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Mafia: Definitive Edition Review","post_excerpt":" Rise through the ranks of the Mafia","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"mafia-definitive-edition-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-09-04 16:16:41","post_modified_gmt":"2023-09-04 15:16:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205389","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":190784,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2017-11-07 11:56:23","post_date_gmt":"2017-11-07 11:56:23","post_content":"The official launch of the world\u2019s most powerful console, Xbox One X, brings a new era of immersive 4K gaming and 4K entertainment to gamers across the globe.
