Re: EA Allegedly Scraps Unannounced Single Player Apex Legends Game

Fight_Teza_Fight

I imagine there are a lot of games that get cancelled behind the scenes & that we don’t know about. It’s not the end of the world or even worth reporting imo. I mean there was character art for a modern day Jak & Daxter by ND & Sly 4 was teased but never happened.

Sony Santa Monica cancelled the scy-fy game after GOW ascension & purring over 100mil into it.
The end result? We got the GOW 2018 & by extension Ragnarok.

I’d be glad that they stopped, otherwise you end in a Skull & bones & beyond good and evil situation. Games that will come out, waste the team years of time & will still be rubbish.

I’d like to think that Sony keeps all this PlayStation prop in a massive warehouse somewhere.
Then when the apocalypse does happen (probably sooner rather than later given current world events) you’ll get some scavengers exploring & thinking ‘boy they sure had it carefree😂😂😂’.

It probably all gets disassembled & recycled straight after use, but I can dream.

Re: Xbox, Nintendo Reportedly Join Sony in Skipping E3

Fight_Teza_Fight

In this day & age there is no need for E3.
A ton of games are announced- mostly early, and at the end of the day there’s only like 3-5 games that take up all the conversation.

Why should all these games compete against each other for attention?

Have you own day & those that are interested will buy it. There us no need for E3 in the social media age.

Re: Sony's MLB The Show 23 Costs $70 on PS5, Nothing on Xbox Game Pass

Fight_Teza_Fight

@cragis0001 @EVIL-C The Uk is one of Xbox’s biggest markets. There was a leak a couple of weeks ago that PS5 is at 10.5 million & Xbox at 8.7million lifetime sales.

We also know that Xbox does have a larger digital/physical split, but that nowhere near brings it close to PS5.

If Sony jumps into Day1 like MS the 100million+ budget for AAA games suddenly turns to sub 50million max.
Nintendo would never do that. They believe in quality & the value of their games.

Also for context Callisto Protocol cost $160million+.

MS can get away with deals like this because the exposure of these games enhances sales on other platforms. If Sony joins the fray & says ‘we’ll pay what Microsoft is paying or the game won’t be be put on our platform’ publishers will be screwed.

Game pass is great for Indie/AA games to get exposure, but if Day 1 sub games become a reality you’ll never get a GOW:R, TLOU, Uncharted ever again.

This is an industry. It needs to make money.

Re: Sony's MLB The Show 23 Costs $70 on PS5, Nothing on Xbox Game Pass

Fight_Teza_Fight

It isn’t sustainable. Dead Space Remake sold 80% on PS5.
Microsoft has conditioned their player base to not pay full price or anywhere near it.

Be careful what you wish for. Games are only getting more expensive & publishers have to find a way to extract money.

If Sony jumps in, it’ll be a free for all to the bottom dollar.
It’s horse armour in disguise & look how that turned out.

I would hope that Sony are growing SSD behind the scenes with the free money they are getting with it being multiplat so we can get something new.

Re: The Last of Us' Sales Keep Increasing Following Hit HBO Show

Fight_Teza_Fight

@NEStalgia How does this affect you in anyway? The show exists & is clearly bringing in new fans. Why gatekeep?

I can’t speak for myself as I’m waiting for season 1 to finish to binge it, but my sister watched the first episode on YouTube & is now hooked. Literally her only experience with games expands as far as Just Dance for the Wii.
The true test will be if I can get my wife to watch- although that will take some divine intervention!

Re: PS5 Gaining More Traction in Japan as It Tops Weekly Hardware Chart

Fight_Teza_Fight

@NEStalgia I don’t really follow the Japanese charts anymore, but it does seem that the PS5 is doing better than the PS4 did.

Then again the PS4 launched late in Japan- unlike the PS5 which was a worldwide release. Perhaps that is affecting the launch aligned numbers?
F2P can certainly be a factor, but in a week where PS5 sold 42k+, but the only game to chart is GT7 at 5.4k it’s certainly is sus.

The only way that I could explain it is that Japanese PS gamers have a more eclectic taste or that digital is way higher over there.
Japan is weird😅.

Re: PS5 Gaining More Traction in Japan as It Tops Weekly Hardware Chart

Fight_Teza_Fight

@KaijuKaiser I’m just spitballing, but with the living situation over there & over population I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t want boxes of plastic taking up space.

I have 4 storage boxes filled with games & hardware over 25+ years of collecting. That’s a lot of space for games I’ll probably never play again.
Luckily I keep those games at my parents house😅.

Re: PS5 Gaining More Traction in Japan as It Tops Weekly Hardware Chart

Fight_Teza_Fight

Do we know how well the PS5 is doing compared to PS4 launch aligned?

PS4 did like 20k/week consistently, pretty early into its life cycle iirc.
PS5 hasn’t even had a price cut yet (it’s gone up actually), so there might be some hope to reach 10million lifetime.

Hardware sales are good, but software really is bad. 5.4K for GT7- the only PS game to chart, in a week where 42k consoles were sold is surprising. Are Japanese PS players more used to buying digital?

Re: Gran Turismo 7 on PSVR2 Is the Full Game, Except for Split-Screen Play

Fight_Teza_Fight

@Titntin That’s sad to hear. Hopefully as the tech evolves there’ll be ways to ease people into it.

When I first tried VR I felt similar but definitely not to your extent. Even playing something like Thumper for like 30mins would make me feel woozy.
With time I got much better at it & it passed. Just being able to play Resi7VR was worth the price of entry & that’s not to mention Astrobot: Rescue Mission- the single greatest video game experience in my life.

Re: FIFA 23 Confirms Its Team of the Year Starting XI

Fight_Teza_Fight

How things could’ve gone. Hakimi & Hernandez were both on the books at Madrid before they were 20. Hernandez was eventually sold at a loss & Hakimi who came through the youth team played like 10 games in 3 years for the senior side. Absolute waste. Not to mention Odegaard… .

Re: Persona 3 Portable (PS4) - Brooding JRPG Is Still Superb

Fight_Teza_Fight

@Dr-M Honestly no unless you wanted to experience the series from beginning to end. Like seeing the evolution from Final Fantasy 1-15 (or the upcoming 16).

Persona 3 is where modern Persona games begin. P4G & P5 have taken its system and evolved it. The games are standalone unless you play the spin off games.

I think Persona (1) is a solid JRPG for its time- like 7/10. Persona 2 I didn’t enjoy playing, but the story was great.

*HHH theme plays…
🎶It’s all about the game & how you play it…🎶

@Grimwood Not to pile on, but WHAT?!
You must have replayed the same game over & over again as a kid. I know I played Pokémon Blue at least 10 times through.
There’s also 3 versions of TLOU. OG, Remaster+DLC & Remake you add in trophy collecting (speed run, grounded,…) & I can easily see how someone would get to that number.

Re: Persona 3 Portable (PS4) - Brooding JRPG Is Still Superb

Fight_Teza_Fight

After the Persona 5 reveal I was so determined to play all the earlier games first as I had missed out on.

Luckily the vita had P1-4 & the portable version is therefore my reference point. P3P is were I finally got it & loved the series ever since.
I’m not sure when I’ll get it as I’m working on my backlog, but I’ll be picking it up eventually.

Also that soundtrack is incredible. If you like rhythm games P3 Dancing in Moonlight is a great way to kill some time.

Re: Hogwarts Legacy Game Length, Side Puzzles Revealed in Leaked Art Book

Fight_Teza_Fight

@ItsBritneyB_tch I plan to do so anyways & I’ve read all the books and watched all the movies multiple times.

As mentioned it’s set well before the events of Harry Potter, but it would help flesh out the world. For example the article mentions Azkaban which is a major setting for the 3rd movie/book.

Now that I think about it you might encounter Dumbledore he’d be around 9/10 which might make him a first year.

Re: Poll: What PS5, PS4 Game Are You Most Looking Forward to in January 2023?

Fight_Teza_Fight

@SillyBoyJudas So I don’t have a PS5, but on my physical PS4 copy it says free PS4 to PS5 upgrade.

On the Bandai Namco page:
Upgrade from PS4™ to PS5™
If you have already purchased the PS4™ version of "Dragon Ball Z: KAKAROT", you can upgrade for free. Upgrades are free for both the main game and DLC. Details on the upgrade procedure will be announced on the official website at a later date.

Also the PushSquare article confirming it:
https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2022/09/dragon-ball-z-kakarot-gets-free-upgrade-to-enhanced-ps5-version-in-2023-second-season-of-dlc

Just note that if you buy the PS4 version now, you will not be playing the PS5 version just yet. You have to wait for the PS5 patch to be released which is this Friday (13th).

Hope that helps.

@straw-hat-crew World War Z: Aftermath?

Seriously I’m hoping odyssey is good. I’ve just caught up with the manga & was almost tempted to buy Seeker during the January sale.
I don’t get why Naruto & DBZ are the only ones getting great games (I know that Pirate Warriors 4 is meant to be good but too old at this point).

I voted Persona 3 Portable, the game that created modern Persona.
