TalalHmd Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I had a blast with this, I wish they'd remake the sequel 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darling Baphomet Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I was expecting a clunky game since it's PS1, the framerate is extremely disappointing though. I shouldn't be struggling to play it on my ps4 slim. If it's going to lag, it should be a hell of a lot prettier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellcoreFire Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I played the demo but didn't like it enough to buy it. But since it's on PSNow I was tempted to play it. I don't know whom of you to believe, lol. Guess I'll play it on my only for the story account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to play it anyway, may as well go all the way. It's flawed but fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcrunch061 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) I never played the first Medieval, but I'm...unimpressed by this remake.

HelixNebula_x Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Kind of feel like the people earlier in the thread are being unfair to the OP. Why shouldn't a remake for PS4 be compared against other PS4 titles? I only started this yesterday and have played the first three levels, and I'm not particular enamoured with it either. The framerate is choppy (which as others have said doesn't make sense given the visual quality), the camera is fucking terrible and everything about it just feels dated. A personal highlight was how the characters walk in cutscenes; definitely wasn't expecting it to be that bad. Compare this to, for example, the N-Sane Trilogy and Reignited Trilogy and I can fully see why people are disappointed. Those are examples of excellent remakes, which when compared to current gen games, still hold their own. Medievil just feels average and that's coming from a big fan of the original. And personally; I don't see any problem is pointing that out. Seems like people just had their nostalgia goggles firmly attached. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downloaded this from PSNow and every problem the OP had I'm having, very strange to see so many act like they were making it up. Multiple crashes, huge framerate drops bringing the game to a stutter, plus my launch PS4 sounds like it's literally going to blast out the roof. It wasn't even this loud for the TLOU2. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unebrion Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I missed out on this series when I was younger and I've nearly completed the game on ps4. It plays very much like a PS1 game which, I suppose is good since they are trying to replicate the original, but with a graphics overhaul. That being said, I don't miss PS1 controls or camera angles. I'm happy I finally got to experience this game and the story and meet Sir Daniel, but I'm also very happy that I'm nearly done with the game. The controls, while being true to form for a PS1 game, are infuriating and I've had my fill of reliving that era of madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamerultimate3dj Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) Poor remake? Its a fcking shit remake. My game is glitched and I can't get the dragon gems, so I have to restart the whole f game. Edited November 15, 2020 by gamerultimate3dj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntingFever Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) Having now finished this game, I feel it's a B list remake because the frame-rate is very poor in some places, the hit detection is off in places, the camera sucks and I had 2 crashes but overall it's a solid if unspectacular game that would have benefitted from another 3 or 4 months in development. Also, I cannot explain why some players had nothing but trouble with this game and others, like myself, had almost almost no problems for the most part.

DAS2in1 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Just finished the game today. Camera angels was a bit anoying but an easy and fun plat. And when l did the PS one version unlocked. Played Dan's crypt on this version and l'm very happy for not be a gamer stuck in 1998. Unbelivable they could sell consols back then with crappy games like this. ?

I never saw this frame rate problem people seem to have with the game, seemed like a perfect remake. On 11/15/2020 at 8:48 AM, gamerultimate3dj said: Poor remake? Its a fcking shit remake.

How can it be “a fucking shit remake” when it captures the original perfectly, and improves on it? Gamers these days….

I’d disagree with the first part of that, what is great about the remake was also present in the original, the original is a classic for a reason. I don’t know how you can say it’s crap in one iteration but not in the other. It’s the same game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScintillaWolf Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I can't speak for any performance issues people have experienced with Medievil on the PS4, as I've just played it from start to finish on PS5 using PS Now. But for the game itself, having played the original when I was just 10 years old, it was a huge nostalgia trip and I felt they absolutely did the original justice. I loved it, had a tonne of fun with it and didn't really feel the controls or camera angles ever broke my immersion with it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played this game as a kid (just the demo) and seeing those level again was great. I'm not a graphic whore and I don't care if this game looked "bad" I still enjoyed it and didn't regret any second. One thing which I liked a lot is when you collected all chalices you unlocked the original ps1 game in the main menu. Imo every remaster should do this or at least to have the option (Like in the Wonderboy or new Alex the Kidd remake) to switch back to the original graphics. I like those comparisons how a game looked 20 years ago and how it looks now. Edited July 25, 2021 by ShadyWARcotix 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DwayneHawkins Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Played this, there is no reason why they needed to make that camera so quirky, since they redid so much of the game anyway. It's an OK game where you can have some fun, also some frustration. Not by any stretch a masterpiece though like some people here are claiming ... wth lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
