Death's Door will be done by then. Mario+Rabbids will take much longer. It's a great "play while my wife watches TV" game. Plenty of time for Kratos and "boy".

Trying to squeeze in the Resident Evil 3 remake before Ragnarok.

Easy to do actually, it's far too short compared to the original. Visuals were good but enjoyed it far less than the RE2 remake; overall felt like a rushed project. Hoping they rebound with the RE4 remake incoming March 2023

RE4 is going to be incredible. One of the reasons I want to play this one first in preparation.

I'm at the end of RE7. It's so much better than 6, which was the low point of the series, IMO. I'm going to pass on the remake, but it'll be interesting on how it's received since the original release is an all-time great. I'm interested in the Calisto Protocol. It's already been banned in Japan. Japan! They allow everything. The game has to be incredibly f'd up.

Why will you skip the remake?

I almost always skip remakes if I've already played the original. I think the current RE4 is a (near) Mt. Rushmore of games all timer. The only remakes I've bought of a game i previously beat are Link's Awakening and Halo Anniversary. Maybe KotOR someday too.

Interesting, interesting. RE4 has such an undeniable legacy that I feel like they are treating this remake with great care.

These days when it comes to RE I get more excited about the remakes than I do the new games. Though RE8 was cool; I may replay it in the new TLC third person mode. I could never make it far in the old RE4 because the controls were God awful; lots of respect for it's legacy and trailblazing the 3rd person action games. Assuming they modernize the controls, the RE4 remake is a day one buy for me.

Callisto is definitely on my list, too, though I think the next few months will be consumed by Ragnarok.

I'm pretty fired up for the Dead Space remake too.

I never played the original but was going to look into this, too. EA's brand attached to anything has me skeptical but this one is generating lots of reputable hype.

I just played the original a few months ago. I thought it held up well. I tracked down the sequel, but haven't played it yet. If you're a fan of the survival horror genre, it's probably a must play.

Resident Evil 4 preorder is part of Target's early Black Friday buy 2 get 1 free offer this week.

I beat Perfect Dark last night. That last level can go straight to hell. A boss battle where you can get 1 hit killed and then you need to replay the entire level before you fight the boss again. Grrrr.

On the original N64 cart? I remember some of those levels moving at 10 fps.

Yup. Not too bad in the slowdown department. I remember worse on the N64.

My "slowdown" was caused by a semi broken analogue stick which explains why I couldn't beat an early part of Conker 64.

The analog sticks would get so crusty after while. What was wrong with yours?

Finished Deathloop last night. Banger of a game.

Now onto Plague Tale: Requiem.
