Re: Classic The Sims Launches on PC, But No Sign of the PS2 Versions

Nakatomi_Uk

Its also probably the fact that Sims 5 was cancelled it was in pre production and then EA just cancelled it because I think that other game Xnos or however it's spelt sort of made Sims a joke with it's Disney graphics. Were as the the other game uses Unreal engine yet it's early access on steam but recently they have lost a lot of share prices and are cutting back as well. This is probably just to claw back some money from the die hard Sims fans mostly

Re: Following Ferocious PC Backlash, PSN Accounts Will Become Optional But Offer In-Game Rewards

Nakatomi_Uk

Ironic isn't Hulst gets sort of dropped as Co-Ceo and then they announce that it's sort of mandatory now for PC gamers?? Should have been like this in the first place Helldivers 2 would probably have a larger pool of players. Maybe the should just bring it back and say it's mandatory for that as well and offer maybe super credits like say 500 as a starting bonus

Helldivers 2 needs more trophies to be honest

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for February 2025 Announced

Nakatomi_Uk

Wow another game that literally is so crap that the Devs allinated it's fan base that is Pay Day 3 so much so that they all went back to payday 2. So another dead game along with suicide squad from last month they really know how to pick them don't they a bit like these game Devs begging Song to do it to breath life into them

Re: Xbox Boss Wants to Beat PS6 on Hardware Capabilities, Not Necessarily Games

Nakatomi_Uk

Hardware isn't a thing if you don't have the games when will they learn ever since Xbox One which was so under developed it couldn't even do 1080p in certain games out of the box. Power is nothing if you don't have software then last 2 gens they've known this but if they get it right and have games already in development then yes it might but that would only for so many years unless they gradually release them

Sony will have struggles to sell PS6 because they will have to make games for PS5 for a while, they've been stuck in a loop since PS5 launched and it wasn't available and the price was crazy high. And it will be the same with PS6 Exactly the same

Re: Ubisoft Indefinitely Delays Planned Story DLC for The Division 2

Nakatomi_Uk

I miss Ubisofts over the top adverts for it games with the fake radio chatter in GR Wildlands especially it always made me chuckle. As for this Division 1 was far better setting shame the game like ones before lied and didn't have half of the places if showed in the trailer you could do to.

In TD 2 they just moved it to the White House and it was boring

Re: Hermen Hulst No Longer PlayStation Co-CEO, Still in Charge of First-Party

Nakatomi_Uk

It wasn't his who did all this live service stuff it was also Jim Ryan as well who managed to get off lightly mainly due to his timing of his retirement. It seems he took the risk knowing he was leaving and thought well I've got nothing to lose I'll be gone it's whoever take the helm next who gets the blame.

Its also clear having 2 people running isn't working look at past Sony chiefs in charge Jack Tretton did it for years with SoA. Yes we had the PS3 network issues and he immediately apologised for that at E3 the moment he got on stage and turned it around after it's awful launch, and steered PS4 in to it's good era best to the PS2 (which was Sonys best years)

Re: Xbox Rips Off the Band Aid, 'Expect Our Games to Show Up in More and More Places'

Nakatomi_Uk

@Nepp67 Because he's not in charge of the Xbox as a separate division it's been pulled back in and the CEO and the other 2 tell Phil what to do. They spent billions and want that money back hardware for Xbox has canned since the launch of the Xbox One they've never recovered from that disaster of a reveal.

They had no games coming from the 360 it was all TV TV TV TV because Mattrick wanted to have it as the main media center in the home. Yet smart TVs were on the rise Mattrick hated the Xbox division he wanted to crash and burn it, it worked in the end they will have one more console left and then become a full pledge software publisher by 2030

Re: You May Not Need to Upgrade to PS6 for Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3, Says Producer

Nakatomi_Uk

@Can-You-Believe-Sith It will always be like that from now on because of COVID, lack of availability, scalpers and then price of PS5 no one could get one.

Ps4 was in the home they had to keep making for PS4 and this held PS5 back and most didn't see the reason to upgrade, PS5 hasn't been the best and I don't think it ever got to it's full potential. This will be the same for PS6 if the PS5 Pro is anything to go by even if PS6 is even more powerful price is going to be high or higher than PS5 Pro, and what's power when you don't have the games to show that are held back by it's predecessor.

That will put people off again scalpers and lack of availability will be again another factor, Sony are stuck in a rut and it will be continuos cycle they can't break or they will lose a lot of customer's. Why I think Microsoft will have one more console cycle left and then go full publisher that had a handheld of its own but games can be played anywhere on any device

Re: The Legend of Dragoon Just Got an Unexpected Patch on PS5, PS4

Nakatomi_Uk

@Porco G Police is £1.99 on PSN or was when I bought 2 weeks ago, so to get the PS4/5 version as well it a right bargain. Unfortunately quite a few games are going from the PS3 store it's getting thinner and thinner I missed on LAPD Future Cop that's been removed.

Metal Gear Solid PS1 version is the next game wonder if that unlocks the new release doubt it though

Re: The Legend of Dragoon Just Got an Unexpected Patch on PS5

Nakatomi_Uk

@Porco So if you own a PS1 game bought through PS3 you get the PS4/PS5 version as well down the line ???

If so might explain why G-Police on PS4/5 version is available to download as I have PS+ Extra not Premium. I think I'll go looking on PS3 store for the cheaper version see if it unlocks the PS4/5 version

Re: New PS5 Firmware Update Is Coming Today in Phased Release

Nakatomi_Uk

Before PS5 on PS4 every update they seemed to do something with chat/Messages all the dam time

I hope they keep the original PS1 start up but just take away the 30th anniversary words and leave the diamond and PS symbol etc

They also need to let me add folders or 20 games on the screen but in a large box, why the PS4 XMB and PS3s were the best

Re: Ubisoft Marks One Year of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Despite Killing the Studio

Nakatomi_Uk

I actually liked PoP The forgotten Sands on PS3 I enjoyed that game had some frustrating bits it was a good game platted it as well as the other one that was a bit weird and more of a platformer with Nolan North voicing the main guy. I never played the PS2 games

I expect Ubisoft to be sold but I feel whoever wants them Tencent or whoever wants the CEO brothers/Family totally out

Re: Horizon's MMO Appears to Have Been Cancelled

Nakatomi_Uk

I am surprised that they never went back to some of its roots on PS4 with the likes of SOCOM especially as a VR title or a version in VR. Single player games are crazy in cost and Spiderman 2 and GoW were propped up by the money earned from COD I believe.

Because Sony fans demand graphics they've chased the power thing like Microsoft did but without games power from a console is nothing. And coat for graphical games is expensive so you can't have it both ways

Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Director Is Leaving BioWare

Nakatomi_Uk

Bioware vanished after the mess of Mass effect 3s ending that's when it was, they scrambled to get something out to make it up but it was too little too late. Most at that point I think started to slowly leave Inquisition was boring, Anthem was a disaster for what it was (though I enjoyed being the Colossus Javelin a lot). Andromeda was incredibly dull and such a grind the story didn't make a lick of sense and combat was a mess.

This DA was a flop the moment they showed gameplay and trailers last year the trailer got everyone excited but then it just panned itself. I don't expect the best Mass Effect to be any different I doubt I'll be getting it

Re: Reaction: Sony's Live Service Push Has Been a Disaster of Utterly Insane Proportions

Nakatomi_Uk

@JohntheRaptor No it hasn't they wasted all the money that should have covered the costs for staff and other costs and they promised Sony they wouldn't lay anyone off. Yet they did and they did it again not long after, the DLC expansion didn't sell well considering it was praised to be very good compared to the previous. The Bungie take over has been a financial disaster and Destiny 2 is bleeding players

Re: Reaction: Sony's Live Service Push Has Been a Disaster of Utterly Insane Proportions

Nakatomi_Uk

Jim Ryan pushed for it when he took over and then Herm decided to carry it on, as stated jobs lost, billions lost and yet one retired with probably a golden handshake and a nice pension to fall back on.

The other may end up being ousted or fired or told to walk away with a golden handshake and a pension as well. All while now Bend and Blue Point wonder if jobs cuts are coming their way to steer the ship on course, by the people at the top who sent it into the rocks in the first place

Its why I wonder why Shawn Layden, Andrew House and Jack Tretton left they've had some years at Sony all 3. But I feel this Live Service push was the talk of PS5 all round package before release etc and those guys basically nah sorry I don't want to be a part of it.
