      Oh hey Roanoke, fancy seeing you here I guess, I feel like giving my thoughts on Negative Atmosphere so I guess I'll do that: So far Negative Atmosphere is looking pretty good, character designs are nice, the main characters story (so far at least) seems pretty interesting, a former soldier (I think? I don't remember) who witnessed the horrors of war and now has PTSD enters a seemingly lifeless ship, only for him to discover the terrors that lay on it. It sounds pretty good so far, though I have my doubts, I'm honestly worried that it will turn out to be a huge disaster just like many other games, there has been times where a game looks pretty good only for it to turn out pretty bad. Agony is a pretty good (or would it be bad?) example, I'm hoping Negative Atmosphere turns out to be pretty good, because it looks awesome so far. Hopefully it does turn out good, also, CaN i GeT 55,000 lIkEs?fndhdhrbhfhrbrvdvsvehuahajsi????????????????

They're the same games with a fresh lick of paint. Would be nice to see a greater emphasis on newer IPs and the next chapters or reimaginings of already established IPs from a wide range of genres like in the good ol' days. But I suppose most folks will accept anything, even if it's some lousy remake, and call it a day.

      @@LicensedGuitarist2000 I own'ed a PS2 but I was addicted to Gran Turismo3, GTA trilogy, Onimusha series, Hitman trilogy, first 2 midnight club games and NFSU2 Most wanted and Pro Street among others also had XBOX and played mostly KOTOR, KOTOR2 & Forza near the end
      I never even touched Jaxx, Ratchet or Sly but I did like one of the Spyro games on PS1 but IDK whivch it was number 1 ore 2 they released too fast to tell for me lol
      also PS1 I only had near the end and on;y had a handful of games that all got stolen which i already stole anyways so i got what I deserved yeah? just thought that tidbit would be funny
      I can not believe I made SNES last until gen 6.....but literealy even that summer of 2000 there I was back home playing old SNES and NES games again.....
      I won't claim anything horrible, Sly was probably all that and I missed out but for my opinion when offered thief games well thief 3 was a olde brand from PC so I chose that one, thay's my on;py reason and snealing MGS which i did play on PS1 I kept with on PS2 and MGS2 took a long to to fully appreciate cus thge story was cool but I just wanted to play as Snake but slowly I realized why they used Raiden and the deeper apsects of the game were made clearer especially in recent years now I kinda wanna go back lol
      so yeah for my sneaking and kleptinjg aspects i was getting that elsewhere
      Deus Ex is another stealth game series I love....
      so as I said I have no hate towards Sly cus I ever played lol but i a way i kinda have in the games that came after and if the climbing in shy was as good that it had a strong foundation...

      As much as I'd like to see another Sly game, in my opinion Thieves in Time wasn't that great. It would be great if the series got a different story after 3. It could still involve time travel but have it be its own thing instead of revolving the whole game around it. Like having the time machine finished by the end of 4 which might lead to a different game or just a cool gadget to have to replay the story.

    • @flaviusstilicho3167

      @@MGSTube78 My idea for the game would take place during the escape on Dr. M's island, in Sly and Carmelita's perspective. They await a boat from the mercenaries. In the meantime, Sly leaves behind his cane, handbag, and calling card behind.
      I would argue that Carmelita and Sly were more or less agreeing to work together, when he "lost his memory.' At least that's how I saw it. Again, how would Sly leave his personal possessions, with millions of gold loot, from his ancestors, without her noticing.
      Actually, what about an opening, much like the first three games, where instead of stealing an item Sly would stop criminals from doing so. Then, bam! Now Carmelita, who used her shock pistol on you, is now shooting at the criminals while Sly cuts them off.
      Then... Opening of the dance, with the events of the past up to now. Then Sly decided to pay Bentley a visit, for old times sake, only to see a ransacked home. Where both he and Penelope are missing. What will Sly and Carmelita do? Would it be a good idea to hunt down Bentley, under the guise of catching the brains of the Cooper gang?
      Evil laughing sound of a possible Clockwork backup robo chip, accidentally built by Sly's mechanical ancestor. Who did not know about the rage chip. Bam! Murray wants to help. Dimitri is painting and grooving. Cars are actually great to use the controller, without the motion thing. Um...
      That's all I got, really. It's not the best. It's the only way to get around the amnesia and time travel plotline. How about Sly's secret ending is seeing his father, one last time. Bentley did create the time machine, but it really shows a projection of the past, rather than traveling. Sly, and the audience, look at his father for the first time. Silence... He touches the screen.
      Oh, and the fifth game involves Mugshot ruling the universe because he used super steroids, and won all the olympics. Causing anger to Brazil, after 7-1. Oh, and Bentley is a computer robotic turtle in a badass wheel chair. Carmelita tells Sly she's pregnant, after their recent exhibition. Then it ends with Dimitri reviving Disco from it's eternal banishment of trending through the ages. French people rejoice as they speak english through the grooving music, bro.
      And the sixth game involves order 66, declared by EA...

      Resident Evil is far from dead. Just because boomers can't migrate their brains from the 1990s doesn't mean the franchise is dead.
      RE7 is the biggest achievement of single-player gaming in a long time. Especially if you know how much the director had to fight Capcom to make it happen, and to go against the old fans by not bringing the old characters back.
      The creative director went out of his way to make sure the game wouldn't be filled with crappy micro-transactions. The boldness to bring the new engine to life, a completely new character was daring and brave.

      At least HITMAN is going strong still, I miss Syphon Filter, Splinter Cell and Metal Gear Solid too, even if the latter was more brutally murdered.

      @@extramedium8926 Shit? Some of the later games were, but the initial first 3 games were absolutely great. They had stealth sections too. For it's time, some of the best, but saying it's shit when stacking Syphon Filter 1 or 2 up against modern games is missing the point. Remastering the games would be exactly as they are and that's not gonna happen, they'd be remade instead, maybe rebooted to be more in line with modern games, but hopefully not have MTX or lots of paid DLC or the likes, but the gameplay could use some heavy refinement and/or refurbishing. Otherwise I believe Syphon Filter is like the spiritual successor to Syphon Filter.

    There was actually a Custom Robo arena for the DS released in the US. Pretty fun game. There was also a game released in 2020 called Synaptic Drive that’s a similar style but I’ve heard not great things about the gameplay and have yet to try it out for myself.
