Re: Reaction: PlayStation Boss Jim Ryan May Have Been Disliked, But Leaves Big Boots to Fill

PaperAlien

A lot of people might end up missing him I think if the right person isnt put in place of him. I didnt think he was a very personable CEO, but I suppose its not his job to be, its only an added bonus. He's said some utterly baffling things over the years, but he's been more often good for the brand than not.

I hope Cerney gets the job, he's got the knowledge, experience, is a gamer, and is pretty much well liked by everyone.

Re: PlayStation's 2024 Release Schedule Is Already a Joke

PaperAlien

@ShogunRok Dont think People are really saying that at all, no doubt its a grand list of games, but these aren't "playstation" games like the headlne infers, barring one game these are all being released on Xbox, PC, Switch and most of them are still being released on last gen as well. People are just poking fun of that really, and also Sony have been V quiet on the 1st party front for next year and beyond, which is unusual really.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1 (PS5) - Good But Not a Flawless Victory

PaperAlien

I would prob give it an 8, but the review is pretty much where Im at with it. Invasions is tedious and dull, and im already struggling to want to keep playing it, I really would rather have had the Krypt, it feels more in keeping with the games tone than a weird board game-esque thing.

Also the less Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade the better, there are far more interesting and exciting characters to be found than these 2 most obnoxious Yay America! Cringe Quip commentary sterotypes.

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for August 2023 Announced

PaperAlien

Dreams really is at Deaths Door bum tish Dreams should have been given away right at its launch, it might've stood more of a chance, so giving it away while its just about to have servers chopped is an odd move.

Looking forward to trying PGA though, the PGA games used to be the game that me, my brother and parents would all play on a weekend back in the PS2 days.

Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Release Date Reportedly Slated for November 2024

PaperAlien

Madness, we literally have a handful of true blue PS5 games, and they've maybe not really pushed the PS5 as far as it can go, The PS4 had a solid catalogue of PS4 only games when the Pro came out, so I could see the point of it, esp as some of those games were pushing the limits of a PS4 standard.

To me it just seems like greed and a massive smack in the face to everyone whose finally been able to get one after 2 years consistently low availability, and im assuming 4K 60fps with Raytracing as standard would be the main push, but I dont think that will justify the price they would presumably ask for it.

Just seems like the wrong time imo, gives off bad vibes really.

Re: PS Store Summer Sale Live Now, Get All the Best PS5, PS4 Deals Here

PaperAlien

Hands up who guessed that most big PS5 games would come in at £52ish LOL my wallet is absoultely fine in this "mega sale" PS Store has a problem, their sales are now dreadful, predictable and full of the same games rotated in a 6 week cycle.

They are always the same price on sale, and theres very rarely any big surprises you might find to tempt you, its same old,.same old.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Hogwarts Legacy?

PaperAlien

Giving it a solid 8! The atmosphere and world is incredible as is the attention to detail, but what brings it down for me, is the incredibly clunky movement, one min your sprinting then its just a dead stop for no reason, camera movement is also a bit janky, so its not perfect, but its a great game despite those little flaws.

Re: Sony Cuts PSVR2 Launch Sale Estimates by Half, New Report Claims

PaperAlien

Lines up with my gut instincts about PSVR2.. while the tech is impressive, its just too expensive for many people, esp these days and when theres so few games ready at launch. I dont think it will catch on they way they were hoping it would this time round, but also has been mentioned several times the guy behind this "news" is a proven liar and a hack, so it all remains to be seen.

Re: Skull and Bones Delayed Yet Again as Ubisoft Cancels Three Games

PaperAlien

Actually "feel bad" for Ubi, they were on a pretty decent roll with AC Origins / Odyssey, The Division and Far Cry 4 / Primal last gen, but the whole unmentionable scandal, and the soulless bloat of Valhalla, Far Cry 5 and the trash that was Watchdogs Legion and Riders Republic and the never ending delays of this game and the doomed Prince of Persia remake just make them seem creatively bankrupt and out of date, Hope they can regain that spark somehow, perhaps scaling back on the size of their games might be a path to follow.
