I would love a Medieval 2 Remake but I hate shadow drops. So I really hope it's announced but not immediately released.

You laugh, but I would grind so hard to this

MediEvil 2, you say?
The idea of Sony even having any interest of remaking something from later than 2013, let alone an older IP, is probably sufficient enough to just disregard anything from this leaker.
But please...please...with a cherry on top...please...Please Sony...please...I'll buy 2...please

Ok, the first remake used UE4. I hope second will use UE5 and has very good RT support on PS5 Pro.
I believed this rumor when it was just "MediEvil 2 is getting a remake"
but shadowdropping it sounds unrealistic. who the hell is gonna get hype for that other than us diehard fans lol

If this is happening, they definitely need to add some QoL improvements to MediEvil 2. There are things 2 improved upon with the first game but it also had some really odd terrible changes. Namely the fact that the fountains of health become permanently gone once you use them up. They need to scrap that feature and have them actually reset in levels like the first game, because MediEvil 2 is already significantly harder than 1 and then becomes frustrating by restricting your way to gain back health.
Is the second episode any good ?
I could never get into this series, I feel like the tim burtonesque Art direction, music and overall plot of the character are really great but the gameplay was really wonky and subpar. It didn't help that they only mostly modernized the visuals last time
I wish they would try to modernize the gameplay and do a reboot of sorts instead of these remasters / remakes for games where gameplay hasn't really aged well

I dunno, I had a lot of fun with it.
I'm also 37 years old and have an affinity for that era of "we're figuring out 3D action game" shtick.
I doubt this because the MediEvil remake got a mixed reception with a 67 MC score and didnt seem like it sold all that well either: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediEvil_(2019_video_game)
I think that's the key difference. I have NO nostalgia for the series, tried MediEvil and gave up. And I really gave it an earnest attempt, but my view was "yeah this was before 3D action games were actually good."
And if Sony is going to try this again, I see no point in doing the "keep it exactly like the original, but prettier" strategy when it clearly didn't work, as sales and review scores show.
it was a pretty small team over 3 years that made the first remake so they probably didn't need millions of sales to break even...but we'll see.
Also, at people saying how clunky and horrible MediEvil's gameplay is, you should try playing any of Sony Cambridge's (original MediEvil devs) other games. MediEvil is actually their best playing game after Killzone: Mercenary.
Primal especially has got to be the worst playing high budget first party game in the history of Sony. Playing 5 minutes of it makes you want to play Devil May Cry 2 lol

I think people are bringing up sales because they're skeptical of this being real.
Im just very skeptical about Sony wanting to make another MediEvil remake 5 years after the first one came out to mixed reviews. And a shadowdrop release too? Idk this sounds like BS.
Yeah, I'm sure the previous remake wasn't exactly a major tax for Sony to make, but the game wasn't exactly a chart-topping super hit.
I'd be pleasantly surprised if this is real.
Every time Medievil continues to survive against the odds, I'm always briefly like "heck yeah" and then remember that the remake for the 1 was faithful to a fault, for a game that was already pretty wonky at the time of the OG release.
So with 2, should I be cautiously optimistic? did the gameplay improve enough back in the day that a straight graphical remake might be worth the seven outta ten time?

They're saying it would be announced and released during a State of Play in May. That would be a shadow drop.
Well the first PSP remake got made as a cheaper alternative after a PS2 MediEvil 3 was shot down. Then I can only assume budget concerns were why they did not remake both games on PS4.
Weirdly though, 2 was never even been released on the digital store. MediEvil 1 got put on the PlayStation Classics for the PS3 era, and both it and the PSP remake just got a new re-release on PS4 and 5. MediEvil 2 still continues to be excluded from the store, and I do not know why.
MediEvil 2 won a BAFTA for best game of the year lol.
It was a big franchise over here for sure.
You'll be back. The need for the attention is in your blood now.
Be that I have never played Medievil 2 l,.I'm pretty excited if true. I enjoyed the original quite a bit
I know people complain about how it plays, but I don't know how you want it to play either.
Medievil just plays how it plays. I can't think of a game I would call a "modern Medievil" (besides a slight influence ala Pumpkin jack, but that game also feels influenced by Maximo.)
I guess if someone has an example to share that would help.
I mean, I also have nostalgia for it, but it feels right to me, you're like a gangly skeleton who was never actually a soldier, flailing about trying your best to survive.

Yeah, so weird. No matter what company x is doing, it seems wrong.
I'm skpetical about this leak, but I would love to see the remake for sure.
