Re: TGS 2016: Revisit Resident Evil 7's Free PS4 Demo Now

@kyleforrester87 yeah, agreed on all points. I'll give it a shake and see how it goes. The only thing I've been vaguely concerned about was an eyes-on impression a few months ago, and apparently the game was totally naseua inducing. I'm sure they'll iron that out, but it'd suck for something as trivial as that to ruin the VR experience.

@kyleforrester87 is it really shoehorning it though? I love me some classic RE, but the newly adopted first person perspective fits VR perfectly, and takes "brown trousers time" to an entirely new level. I get that it could probably have been marketed as a new IP, but I remember similar arguments when 4 was revealed which was a dramatic change as well. You never know, when we play it it could feel very like it's predecessors in terms of aesthetic. Either that or it'll be Codemned 3 and you can tell me to bugger off

Re: Reaction: Shrewd Sony Looks to Continue Market Domination with PS4 Pro

@get2sammyb I know, right?! Amidst all the negativity, does any of it really matter? They've got a huge number of consoles out there already, and now they're poised to release an upper and a lower tier product to cater for more. It's not even like the Pro is THAT expensive that it'll become a niche product.

Yeah, it sucks that it's missing some aspects, but I still think Sony is going to walk away with this given the lead it already has. It's just reassuring that someone has similar sentiments given the overwhelming backlash!

Christ, the overwhelming majority of digital games recently have been pretty substandard. I like a AAA title as much as the next game buff, but I also appreciate the bite size nature and pick up and play nature of a lot of digi titles. Disappointed.

Re: Talking Point: Is Sony Scared of Xbox's Scorpio?

AhabSpampurse

When they announced Scorpio at e3 (for 18 MONTHS in the bloody future!!), I personally interpreted it as desperate willy waving. I think ps4 is too much in the lead for MS, Scorpio or not, to catch up. With the PSVR and Neo (supposedly) also launching shortly and VR being a hot trend, I think that those two things alone will catapult them well into the lead by holiday 2017. By the time Scorpio comes out it'll all be moot.

Re: PlayStation VR's Not Released Yet, But It's Already Sold Out

@blakey78 me too. I've pretty excited about the whole thing. Having had a taste of VR goodness on a mates devkit Rift I've at least got a vague idea of what to expect. The only thing I'm torn about at the moment is what software to buy. RIGS looks great but I dunno if I'll have the stomach for it! High times indeed!

@sketchturner boo I say, boo at thee!

Hey, I'll be honest, I played this originally in my student days when my state of mind was hazy at best, I've no doubt that this contributed towards my enjoyment. However, I'm still very looking forward to giving it a crack in VR!
