I'm not sure how you can look at the new Strider trailers and *NOT* think that they're screwing it up.I still haven't touched RE 6. I think its because 5 was so crappy and disappointing that I can't get myself back into any RE game. Used to be my absolute favorite series. Way to go, Crapcom. Just don't screw up the new Strider, okay?
In other disappointing Capcom news, I did grab that DmC yesterday. Combo square mashing time!
It's almost nothing like the original arcade game and reminds me of some sort of spawn from Shadow Complex... but with Strider and his cyberninja world instead of the military-esque complex in SC.
I guess, maybe, it's sort of like the NES Strider, because that was sort of Metroidvania-ish, but I still don't think this new one looks good.
I guess the closest to Strider that we'll ever get is from Konami (how ironic) achieved by playing Hard Corps. Uprising and using Sayuri.
First recommendation:Alright cool, Thanks all for the info. Now the real question as to what to play from my backlog....MGS4, Assassin's Creed 1, Infamous, ICO, SOTC, Heavy Rain, etc...
ICO.
It's about the only one you're guaranteed to complete in a short window. You can speed run ICO in under 2 hours, I think... first playthrough should take about... 6-10 hours, depending on how quickly you solve puzzles and figure things out (if you're not using a guide).
Second recommendation:
Assassin's Creed
It shouldn't take you that long to complete if you're not OCD and start collecting flags and stuff... since you're playing on PS3, there's no trophies for that one to encourage it either. You don't even have to do full-sync before doing your target assassinations (and even if you do, most of those are quick anyway). 15-20 hours, depending, if you ignore the meaningless collection stuff.
Third recommendation:
SotC
If you don't use a guide, you could get stuck for a bit trying to figure out how to finish off a given colossus. With 16 total colossi and a decent amount of exploration, you're looking around 10-15 for this one. I have a soft spot for it though, so I don't think you should be playing this on a road trip... it's really impressive how ... vast... and empty... the world is... I think you'd experience that better on the big screen.
The rest:
MGS4
You can do playthroughs quickly, I think, but only if you skip cutscenes. If you watch all the cutscenes and take your time, that one is probably 25+ the first time.
Infamous
Takes awhile if you're trophy hunting or going for 100% completion. Might not be a bad option if you're not looking to finish it before the end of your trip... the story is easy to follow and pick up where you left off.
Heavy Rain
I have no clue, never played it.
