@Vault_Mcfly And also the anti-gaming, far right freaks on muskrat social. I was genuinely shocked SH2R got targeted like this, but meh, let the trolls cry harder. I'm just waiting to get my hands on the game. I always believed in this project from its initial reveal trailer, and I'm glad my faith was rewarded and that the haters failed. 😍
@EchoRange @jrt87 Makes sense. I played every AC from 1 to Black Flag, and always found it amusing how it takes historical events, places, people, and makes a sci-fi story out of it. I'm no real fan of Ubisoft, so to see all this hate over more of the same from Shadows is beyond insane. Murderous popes, Aliens and millennia-spanning conspiracies = fine, but 1 Black dude in Japan which we have some historical evidence for = nuclear meltdown? 🤷♂️🤯 Just ignore culture war garbage. It never ends, it's stupid, ignorant, pointless lunacy perpetuated largely by the far-right, and nothing is accomplished from it. Just play and enjoy whatever looks interesting to one's self.
The only remotely exciting console manufacturer/publisher at the moment is Nintendo. MS & Sony..? Lol... A race to the bottom competition of who can make themselves hated more... 🤦♂️
@NEStalgia This is easily the most boring, slow, uninspired generation of PlayStation I've personally been apart of, since jumping in with PS3. Complacent is an accurate adjective to describe the current Sony and their internal output. Nearly a year's wait between Spiderman 2 and Astrobot is insane.
@WhiteRabbit... 🫤 Define "biggest". If we're talking resources, number of studios, and overall organizational size, MS is absolutely gargantuan. It's one of the largest companies on the planet.
@LordFunkalot I bought it immediately as well but haven't played yet. I couldn't be happier to finally have a digital re-release of the original Timesplitters. 😄😍
I'm sure the final design will be fine. Culture war garbage and the far right extremism nonsense that pushes it non-stop, have really broken many people's brains. Christ...🤦♂️
While it's true gamers are ridiculously entitled and many individuals are toxic (although that can be said about most fandoms), Gatcha belongs in the dumpster. I refuse to play stuff like Genshin because it's so predatory.
@J-Dubs That "rule" doesn't automatically apply to straight ports of re-released classic titles. Timesplitters is from the pre-HD, pre-achievement/trophy days.
Same with BWC original Xbox ports (like TS2 and 3) on Xbone/Series X; they don't have achievements, only 360 titles do.
Just bought TS1. 😍 Man, I missed this announcement last week. Despite already having Timesplitters 2 and 3 on Series X, TS1 is still exclusive to PS. Awesome to have the entire Trilogy again on modern hardware. 😍 The way the Timesplitters IP has been treated by publishers is just criminal at this point.
Since I mainly use PS5 for exclusives, and the only Sony exclusives in 2024 I care about are Astrobot and Silent Hill 2, PS5 is quickly becoming the absolute worst generation of PS by far.
These days, Switch and XSX get the majority of my time. Sony just sucks so much overall this generation. SMH.
@J_e_f_f__D I share similar sentiment that PS5 has been the worst PlayStation by far. I got in with PS3 and loved it. PS4 took awhile but eventually became a fantastic machine in its own right with a great library. But PS5? It's nearly 4 years old and it's exclusives that appeal to me, compared to past generations, is paltry by comparison. Off-hand, I believe I have 6, and over half of those were already on PS4, like Spiderman MM and Ghost of Tsushima. Sony is wasting their talents making multiplayer titles no one wanted, like that cancelled Last of Us Factions, or awful-looking live service crap like Concord. Develop an original Uncharted for PS5, or bring back Infamous, or Twisted Metal, or Warhawk, or Syphon Filter, or prioritize a sequel to Tsushima, stuff like that. The part about Xbox and BWC is just an objective fact that MS has done the best job this generation, compared to Sony and Nintendo. It's one of my favourite Xbox features.
Sony got absolutely smoked by MS today, without question. MS actually had a pretty decent show. Sony really needs to remember to bring the big hitters at this time of year, like Nintendo and MS typically do.
Yes, without question.
Concord was so uninteresting and uninspired from the trailer, I'd forgotten its existence before the SOP ended. Sony hasn't got hardly a clue what it's players want. We could see a return of classic IPs like Syphon Filter or Infamous, or another entry of Uncharted or an update about Ghost of Tsushima 2, but instead we get this dime a dozen hero loot shooter #57 crap.
Also, the name. To me, Concord is both a hypersonic aircraft that was retired, or a type of grape jelly. 🤷♂️
When I see some (keyword; some) PlayStation fans arguing that Sony should abandon their old IPs, just by virtue that they're old...you know, the brands that BUILT the platform in the first place, be it Twisted Metal, Uncharted or Killzone, I can't help but argue that if one truly wants that, those gamers can't get angry at the lackluster state of PS5s first party output. Personally, PS5 has been Sony's worst generation by far, for internal output.
@ArashiKageTaro Agreed. Silent Hill 2 looks great. I'm honestly sick of "aww everything looks awful" online game culture. SH2 looks fine to me. I see no disrespect to the original game. The fog especially looks fantastic.
@Bettyswollocks As June is now essentially the E3-but-not-E3-RIPE3-season, it's reasonable to assume that people had higher expectations for this particular SOP. Plus with the random Silent Hill event, The June Nintendo Direct upcoming, the June Xbox event, this is new game reveal season. Sony dropped the ball.
Sony's lack of 1st party output is truly pathetic and embarrassing. Sony fanboys truly have have no excuse to gloat and crap on Xbox, and Xbox are no heroes either, let's be clear about that.
I'm getting Silent Hill 2, and Astrobot truly looks wonderful, so maybe that as well. Otherwise, wow did Sony ever drop the ball... 🎮
I'm no defender of Ubisoft, especially when games debut with no gameplay, but my god, gamers can be some of the worst demographics sometimes.
Assassin's Creed has never been historically accurate, it's historical fiction. That was the entire point of why the concept of AC was cool and interesting.
Naoe is also Japanese herself, yet she's being outright ignored by some? It's amazing how the depiction of a sole black person totally breaks some people's brains....
Probably every Canadian knows who Drake is (a giant poser who isn't even from Toronto, despite loving to sing about my city), although I have no clue who the other dude is or what this fued is even about. 🤷♂️ I'll stay in my blissful ignorance on this particular topic, tyvm.
Absolutely ridiculous. Hundreds of layoffs, studio closures like Free Radical; losing Timesplitters a second time really hurts. I'd love to give Lars a break; let's start with his nose. 👃🤛
@Monochrome321 You don't understand why some people who bought a handheld, sometimes play it... as a handheld? Running games natively is the main advantage. Millions of Switch Lites have also been sold, and that can only be played in handheld form, regardless of where one is.
Also, saying switch's screen is too small is silly. It's of similar size of many modern smartphones. Have a look at handhelds of the past. We are spoiled now. These things still need to be portable, one of the main points of a HANDHELD console. You'd need a bigger battery, which increases weight, size, costs, etc. No design is perfect; the compromises Nintendo was able to make with Switch for the final product in 2017 were nothing short of incredible, that's why they've sold 140 million, and why everyone's copied them... again. 😉
