Re: Guerrilla Shares PS4 Screenshots of Horizon Forbidden West

Of course the PS5 wasn’t sold on features alone, I certainly didn’t argue that it was. But the quote that you and many try to use as a “gotcha” moment, the one about generations, is not talking about PS5-only games.

We can go into another discussion about the PS5 only content so far for the first year if you like, I have had a great time personally with Astro’s Playroom, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Demon’s Souls, and Returnal. None of which can be played on PS4.

But that “generations” quote is being completely misrepresented by you if you are trying to use it as Jim Ryan referring to crossgen games. Use the whole quote and you see he’s not talking about that at all.

The point was you and many others have misrepresented that quote as if it was referring only to games being available on PS5 and not on PS4, when the actual quote is not about that. It’s about features the PS5 offers that are not available on the PS4 that adds to the overall immersion while gaming, such as the dualsense, 3d audio, and SSD.

One of the most misquoted lines of all time. Here’s the full quote if you’re actually interested in it:

“ We have always said that we believe in generations. We believe that when you go to all the trouble of creating a next-gen console, that it should include features and benefits that the previous generation does not include. And that, in our view, people should make games that can make the most of those features.

"We do believe in generations, and whether it's the DualSense controller, whether it's the 3D audio, whether it's the multiple ways that the SSD can be used... we are thinking that it is time to give the PlayStation community something new, something different, that can really only be enjoyed on PS5.”

Clear reference to the next-gen features of the PS5, the SSD/i/o, Dualsense implementation on games, 3D audio support, all features that the generational gap in consoles provides.

Re: Feature: PS5 Report Card - How Is It After One Year?

DeepSpace5D

It was a solid first year, I played and enjoyed nearly every first-party release: Demon’s Souls was incredible, Returnal is a game of the year contender, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart was alot of fun, Astro’s Playroom is a real gem that can’t be slept on just because it came included.

2022 looks like the year where things really get kicked up a notch. It’s going to be a huge year if Gran Turismo 7, Horizon: Forbidden West, and God of War: Ragnarok all drop in the same year.

Re: All PS5 Games Running at 120 Frames-Per-Second

It’s also worth mentioning Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart can be played in Quality mode with 120hz enabled to render quality mode at 40fps instead of its normal 30fps. No reduction in visual fidelity and that mode has to be witnessed firsthand to be truly appreciated; it looks glorious.

It wouldn’t fit the criteria for this article, but it is a game that takes advantage of 120hz mode.

Re: PS5's Returnal Wins Its First Game of the Year Award

DeepSpace5D

It has the best gameplay of any game I’ve played this year, and I love alien and sci-fi stuff. So yes, Returnal is my game of the year as well.

Glad to see it get some recognition and Housemarque has me eagerly anticipating what they do next after putting out a game like this.

Re: Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach Dated for December

DeepSpace5D

This game has 3.5x the views on Youtube as the second most watched trailer from the State of Play (Star Ocean).

It might not be very popular for gamers who frequent news sites, but it definitely has a large following. This might be a pretty big deal when it releases.

It looks better than the older ones that had you stationary and just checking cameras before, looks like a proper first person adventure.

Re: PS Store November Savings Sale Has Over 750 PS5, PS4 Game Deals

DeepSpace5D

@Voltan If it was originally $70 and now it’s $40, how is that a 34% discount? Or was it always a $60 title?

Edit: I see it in the store now, it was $60 at full price. For some reason I thought it was $70 full price but it makes sense as a crossgen game. Kinda forgot the PS4 version exists to be honest. Or maybe I’m just used to PS5 games costing $70 already 😂

Re: Marvel's Avengers Attracts Ire After Adding XP Booster Microtransactions

DeepSpace5D

That’s why I don’t get it when some people say they don’t mind XP boosters in games, and you can just choose to ignore them. Uh no, if they are in the game there’s always a good chance that regular XP progression was purposely slowed down by the devs in order to encourage these predatory transactions.

I’m glad I never touched this game, and never will. I can see SE offload Crystal to MS after they help them with Perfect Dark. Studio seems like it’s going downhill fast.
