Re: PS Vita Support Shows No Signs of Slowing in 2020

I need to recharge mine and hack it so that I can use a memory card adapter. That 16gb I have is a pain to manage, so I just gave up. Sucks that the only option they gave me in the end is to hack it to make it useable. If only it used microSD cards from the get-go, I'm sure it would have been much more popular than it ended up being. Its quite a neat little device.

Re: Xbox Boss on PS5: We Have a Plan That Can Win

Does it involve games? Does it involve VR? Does it involve taking risks in ideas and IPs to bring gamers something different?
The XB1X had around a 2 teraflop lead over the Pro as well.. but the lack of anything unique to play on it meant that it just smoothed things out a little more over the Pro for multiplat games. But oh man.. those Sony exclusives really gave me what I want.
Feels like MS is going into next gen with the same Pro vs. 1X baseline but the games are what make these things chooseable.

Re: Rumour: PSVR 2 Planned to Launch After PS5 Release

@Marios-love-child I've had one since 2017, and liked it so much, I upgraded to the 2nd version as the single thin cable was a lot more "free feeling" than the double, heavy, thick one.
Motion Sickness is one of the biggest challenges of VR. You have to "train your brain" to not make you nauseous. You have sight and sound telling you that you're moving, but the rest of your body tells you that you aren't.
This causes nausea initially untill your senses understand that this sensation is okay. You do get used to it - it doesn't take a long time, but it still takes some understanding that this is a normal initial response.

All VR headsets have this problem, so it presents the biggest challenge. Once you get over it though, its a wonderful experience being IN a game. It's like youre experiencing a game rather than playing it flat on a TV.
... and games like Resident Evil 7 make you INCREDIBLY uncomfortable being in that world. VR is amazing, but it absolutely has its challenges.

Re: Analyst Expects PS5 to Outsell Xbox Series X at Launch with Similar Price Points

So this guy has a 50% chance of being right. Seems like news.
(smh)
Digital Foundry did a peice on the rumored 9.4 Tf PS5 rumor vs the 13Tf Xb Series X. They surmised that the PS5 is going for a $400 price point, while the SeriesX will be a premium console with a higher cost. The yet-unrevealed lower-pricepoint Xbox console may in fact be the competition to a 9.4Tf PS5, rather than the (expected) more expensive Series X.
..I guess we'll see how it all comes together. Should be interesting. I'm sticking with PS either way.

Re: Golem - The World Is Not Enough to Save This PSVR Title from Itself

This game seems to be the divisive PSVR game that Death Stranding is on PS4. Polish Paul gave it 10/10 and PSVR without Parole gave it high marks throughout with only a couple squabbles. 4/10 is really really low, considering the other reviews. Mind you in reading the review, it seems like Graham was just angry and trying to shoot down the game as much as possible without giving it much credit in anything.
...I would have liked to see Sammy review the game and get his take on it. I think it would have been a little less drama.
