Re: Sony Eager to Ensure PS Plus Remains Relevant and Offers More Value

Jaz007

6 games a month and normally having indies day one (which I think we last saw with Deep Rock Galactic, a fantastic idea and addition). You've gotten complacent with Plus compared to old times for years now. Give us 2 VR games a month, 2 PS5 game, 2 PS4 Games, and you'll be giving us comparable value to what I used to pay for.

Re: Apparently Some People Hate the New PS5, PS4 Prince of Persia Game

@Kidfried They likely existed there, but were less common. They don’t have a history in PoP aesthetics, but I don’t they think wore them forward/diagonal like that.
You might argue the haircuts were never meant to be historical.
Sure, but there’s a difference between something that’s a bit of artistic liberty and just screams “out of place.”, especially for the IP.
Now combine that with the trailer in general not seeming like Prince of Persia, it stacks up.
And now I’m hearing this isn’t the Prince, but the prince getting rescued? It just doesn’t feel like a PoP game.

Re: Apparently Some People Hate the New PS5, PS4 Prince of Persia Game

And Warriors Within has tons of negative feedback, showing out of place music is a bad idea.
The combat looks decent sure, but where’s the platforming? This looks combat based when it shouldn’t be.
I’m not sure it really should be a PoP game. It looks like it’s missing the point.
I’d love to be proven otherwise, but this doesn’t seem like the right fit.
@Kidfried, or, or, or doesn’t look like a PoP game in the trailer. We all know the prince is Persian. It’s ain’t getting disliked for that. He does have an odd haircut though.

Re: Try Not to Cringe Over Twisted Metal's Television Show

Jaz007

@GamingFan4Lyf Depends on how you define gritty. It was more of a overly satirical American Psycho type of black comedy. All the characters took what was going on seriously, very much so.
I've mostly played Twisted Metal 2, but my understanding is that black isn't too far off.
It was a deal with the devil type of deal that almost always ended badly for everyone (including those who died in the competition), and sometimes the worst for the person who won and got to ask, Calypso, essentially the devil, for something.
Calypso viewed the whole thing as comedic, but only him and in an extremely cruel manner.

The show doesn't seem to even be using the competition format and instead a post apoclpyic that as far as we, know isn't from the tournament destroying the world, but just mad max style or something. This is not following the spirit of Twisted Metal very well. You could very much make a show out of the basic plot. Depending on how you handled the car being destroyed vs killing whoever is inside. You could do multiple seasons, with different winners, maybe it ending with someone killing calypso instead of asking for a wish.

Re: Shocking: Hideo Kojima Not Involved in Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake

Jaz007

@themightyant Because Kohima has a very peculiar style that feels more distinct than most Developers. It’s why we know his game but not most other game directors. It’s harder to replicate what he does and the worry is that his vision and style won’t be kept as well as it shouldn’t.
The remake could be great, but it’s understandable I think.

Re: Alan Wake 2 Thinks It'll Beat Spider-Man to PS5's Best Graphics of 2023 Crown

Jaz007

@BlueBeemer Depends on the platform. We don’t have a good 360 emulator or OG Xbox emulator last I checked. I think PS3 is better, but not perfect. I agree it helps, but how many of those games aren’t just ripped from the disc too? Being physical hasn’t hampered PS1 games being available online at all.
But it makes PS4 preservation on a simpler level harder.
And legality is a spirit of the law issue (copyrights expire eventually for a reason). If you can reasonably buy a game, it’s wrong to pirate it.

Re: PS Showcase Demonstrated Sony's Efforts to Offer 'Best and Most Varied Catalog of Games', Jim Ryan Claims

Jaz007

@Mitsui Core gamers are the people that watch these. Spider Man fans will of course like the Spider-Man trailer afterwards, but for anyone watching it and everyone else, who is the audience for these events, they come away disappointed.
The show lacked an ounce of charisma. The MGS announcement alone should have made people happier, but it didn’t because while you figured it was a remake, you you weren’t sure. You figured Resi 4 was the full campaign, but weren’t positive. These are basic communication errors that the show is riddled with. Whoever put it together it not very good at his job.
We come to get excited, so basic charisma and communication to push us along helps a lot in that. They had a few announcements that should stuck more but didn’t due to poor presentation skills.

Re: PS Showcase Demonstrated Sony's Efforts to Offer 'Best and Most Varied Catalog of Games', Jim Ryan Claims

Jaz007

@Mitsui When was the last time one of those had anyone come away very excited and pleased? You can’t please everyone, but you should be pleasing a large portion of your audience. Certainly not less than a fraction of it. It’s clear these aren’t getting even half of the good reception the well done old E3 events got. And considering PS is doing fantastic financially, too expensive doesn’t hold.

Re: Fairgame$ May Be Sony's Most Tone Deaf PS5, PC Title to Date

Jaz007

What on Earth does a cost of living crisis have to do with this? It’s super cringe, but that sounds look you’re looking to be offended extra when the cringe is already more than strong enough.
It’s edgy and makes no sense, but quite frankly, this should just gone with (or at least a more clearly) hinted idea that the Theives are just greedy masquerading people.
I’d also just rather go play Hood which is honestly decent fun was something different. It also wasn’t so cringe inducing lol.

Re: PS Showcase Demonstrated Sony's Efforts to Offer 'Best and Most Varied Catalog of Games', Jim Ryan Claims

Jaz007

It lacks punch. The lack of devs talking about any context to the game or what they are is terrible. Imagine if Sony had kept original show format, Capcom hadn’t announced Dragon’s Dogma 2, then it was announced here with the trailer with gameplay. That would have been exciting and felt line to worth coming to the show for.
Just one example of how these events are mishandled ever since E3 died.
I keep hearing about how companies need E3, but I don’t think they understand what to do without E3 now. They don’t need E3 to get everyone’s attention, but they do need or in order have enough guidelines have basic competence with showcases.

Re: PSVR2 Sales at 600,000 Six Weeks After Launch, Sony Confirms

Jaz007

I wonder what retail did to sales. I got one the moment it became available in Gamestop. This could have been a lot more if Sony hadn’t been trying to reduce and sales and exposure. GameStop didn’t have them on display when I got them, which isn’t good because they would have been hyping it if they had been available for pre-order.
It’s a great VR system.

Re: Sony Says It's Too Early to Judge PSVR2's Popularity

Jaz007

@Heavy_Artilery Does the Quest 2 work my PS5 where it's a very simple plug and play experience where it just works very easily and already uses the optimized (for) PS5 I bought that is where I want to do the majority of my VR gaming?
Do I get innovative haptics and nicely designed ring controller where I can let go and not have it fall out of my hand?
If so, I'm down for a quest, if not, I want a PSVR2 so I can go ahead and use my PS5 without paying an extra $1000 at least to upgrade my graphics card.

Re: PlayStation Showcase Finally Announced for 24th May

Jaz007

Finally. I'm excited for normal PS5 stuff, but more excited for PSVR2. I want to know what's in the pipeline for that in particular. I've got plenty of games to go through right now, but I'm always up for new and exciting stuff.
I'd love to hear more flat screen conversions, or heck, even a PSVR2 version of Hitman 3. Flat screen conversions are a great way to get new AAA VR games. Resi 8 is fantastic, and more like it would be so welcome. AAA VR original is good and something for it is cool, but I realize hybrid is more realistic and still exciting as can be. VR Dead Space would be an instant win.
More smaller titles will always be welcome too.
Heck, older games getting VR conversion would be cool as well. VR infamous, VR uncharted, VR Resistance, VR killzone, etc, all would be so cool to see remade in VR, or made remade flat and in VR to maximize profit.
VR needs new games, but can thrive off of old ones like almost no other platform.

Re: Not Even Sony's Been Able to Avoid the Enormous Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Hype

Jaz007

@Phornix Plenty of people want VR which is why so many games are coming to PSVR2.
Also, Nintendo did do VR with the Labo? There’s even an option ti play BotW in it (not first person, just with it on). It was complicated, sounded kinda terrible, made PSVR1 look like standout VR, and just barley attracted any attention. The fact that you don’t know about while saying Nintendo would do it and best Sony at it says a lot.
So no, Nintendo won’t beat Sony at it at all. They might do it again and improve, but they won’t provide a better headset.
