Re: Helldivers Turn on Arrowhead Following Undemocratic Firing of Community Manager

Balie3000

I'm constantly amazed at how entitled and whiny parts of the gaming community have become over every little thing. First it was the rather light censoring in Stellar Blade (which didn't really affect the game at all. Thankfully the metacritic user score is still 9.3) and now it's this - a guy got fired for enciting the sabotage of the company he works for. I mean even he knew he was taking a risk. The PSN account reversal was a good cause to fight for, even if it also had it's whiners, but this is just getting rediculous. People need to stop letting small things (that sometimes don't even concern them) ruin their enjoyment of games.

Re: PS5 Fans Mostly Happy with Sony's Third-Party Deals, But PlayStation Studios Need to Step Up

@Kidfunkadelic83 Amen brother. If they ever resurrect Wipeout I swear tears of joy will roll down my face 😭 That series had such style and identity. It gave Playstation a 'cool' factor with how slick and bangin' the games and soundtracks were, respectively. Wipeout games launched along almost all of their hardware as well... man those were the days. I still play the Omega Collection and Pulse (on my phone).

Re: Poll: How Much Do You Care About 60fps on PS5?

What I don't understand is why developers sometimes lower the resolution so much to get a performance mode that we sit with a blurry mess of a game. Rather reduce the overall fidelity and keep the resolution at 4k and the fps solid. The game will look all the better for it. 4k60 should be the target for performance modes (although 1440p has also been fine) and fidelity can take a hit. I must say though.. whatever Shift Up did with Stellar Blade's balanced mode is magic and should be the standard going forward.

Sony needs to lock in Half Life Alyx as a PSVR2 title at some point to make it more attractive (should've been a launch title). And FFS developers need to port over more PSVR games that could be played with the Dualshock 4, like the Wipeout Omega Collection and Star Wars Squadrons, for example... but I digress. I'm mildly excited for the SoP!
