@MrXinaThong Yeah and demon souls, re1 remake, and crash bandicoot say hello to you too. It is hard to mess up still. The fact that those companies did should say something to you.
Well they're not off to a great start. Instead of the trilogy for people on pc who never played uncharted, they stuck them on the last one with zero context of the originals.
Also it would be great if they started releasing their games day one for ps5/pc.
I was worried since goober team is doing it. But it's really hard to mess up something that has been laid out for you. The over the shoulder camera is a really cool idea. I just hope after this, mgs can come back with some remakes as well
@KidBoruto I don't fully agree with re1 re-remake not that I'm against it. But re0 could def use one. Really the main issue with that game is no box. And they should make billy and rebeccas stories seperate more like re2 where they still meet up but are never together at all times.
@PepperMintRex It is when the only thing you play is 60-120 fps. 60 should be the standard end of story. 40 gets a pass because just those 10 frames alone is better than 30. But not many people have those types of tv's in their homes.
I have a 120hz tv but I'll still be passing on this. Sometimes I prefer the 60 fps mode. and I also will be not buying ANY game that ships without it. Lots of lazy or incomptent devs showing this month.
Hopefully code veronica is next. It's the worst of the re games in terms of mainline entries. Definitley needs a remake. But I'm super excited for re4 and how they'll incorporate features from everything they learned from re8/re2.
@ShogunRok The old games play fine. It's just turn based gameply. We're not talking about some old action game that has major issues. One of the main issues with the older titles is how incredibly slow they are with their turn based gameplay. This has been addressed with the turbo mode. Which makes turn based gameplay way more smoother experience.
I disagree again. It's like skipping the first few one piece episodes and going to watch the current wanno arc. Without much context you won't understand many things and yes you do have to put in the time just like with anything else. Estelle and joshua appearing in future games won't have the same impact nor will you know their hardships. Reading or watching it isn't going to help either because you won't see how the characters delevelop.
This part bugs me "The simple reality is that not everyone has the time or the patience to go all the way back to the start and play everything in order." But those same people will put 100+ hours into other games anyways so what's the difference? I think the real reason is not a matter of time, but people want to play the shiny new thing, or what's currently relevant/popular. I garuntee you if the sky evo games came out tomorrow for ps4/switch/pc we wouldn't be having this conversation.
I started with cold steel. I'm one of those people that did what you just said and ended up regretting it. The moment I got to cold steel 3 and it started spoiling other games I immediately stopped. Then I found out could steel 1 and 2 spoil the crossbell games. So moments from azure were ruined for me already. I went back to the sky games and then crossbell games and vowed to not go back to cold steel until I finished them. And ended up loving the sky games more actually. I would never recommend skipping games for that reason.
@ShogunRok I strongly disagree. The sky series is meant to build the world. And the 3rd has MANY important plot points for future games. Not to mention cold steel 4 is their mcu endgame where everything comes together, and the further you go the more you'll spoil the last game. Cold steel spoils the crossbell games and even the sky games. It won't have the same impact if you skip games.
I'd like to also point out demon slayer came out at 30 fps across the board. But the developer promised 60 fps down the line and they gave it to us. Her with all this nonsense when they made a game that runs on pc with a variety of different hardware that will fluctuate different framerate just shows you how full of crap she is. To me this screams red flags as I remember cyberpunk having similar issues. They don't even say "Hey 60 fps will come later" Just straight up 30fps mode. Take it or leave it.
I'm confused. PS4 versions are known to be used for japanese games like this because many more people own ps4's over ps5's over in japan. Also the series x/s sell pretty well in japan so there's that. And these are psp/vita games not modern game, it's fair to assume all of these will work the same as p4g on pc. I don't see the issue here. Unless this is like what falcom did to screw over people on zero that's a different story.
Still waiting on sony to allow people to buy the deluxe costumes trapped in the expensive ass deluxe edition as a deluxe upgrade. Players shouldn't be punished for buying standard versions physical or digital.
@NeThZOR Sony trying to be slick. Even remasted shouldn't cost that much. When miles was 50-60 bucks it came with remastered so the price made sense. But miles is more of a 20-30 dollar game.
@Sqush-Pare Well for me this type of stuff leads my ps5 in becoming a paper weight. So some of them could have just invested on PC if this was going to be a thing but they wasted their money on a ps5.
@MacRider Yeah you may be right. The ones that still censsor things are mostly the "ethics department" at square that localize games. But sony has been chill with that as far as I know.
@CWill97 We don't even have an avatar or demo section on the ps5 store. A demo section was on the switch day one and steam advertises demos all the time. Ps4 store may have had it's laggy issues but it was way more feature complete. Sometimes I turn on my ps4 just to look at my themes.
@CWill97 Even avatars have become a distant memory, and those are even easier to implement since they're already there. Sony is just a case of bad descisions lately.
@WallyWest I never looked up anything in bloodborne or elden ring. If I got any extra info it was from streams I watched of people playing it that knew more. But fromsoft games are built that way for a community to come together and figure it out.
Funny because I just replayed it twice. And there were so many moments where I put my controller down after an encounter because que in cutscene. I'm not saying last of us needs to be like fromsoft game btw. What it does it does very well. My main gripe was him wanting db games to be like sony games. And I may have exaggerated but it still somewhat true. Even the "gameplay" parts aren't really gameplay if you catch my drift. You're kinda just walking and talking.
@WallyWest It does at times but many of my hours in last of us 1 and 2 is mostly cutscenes. And it's not like I'm saying there's anything really wrong with that. But there's no way last of us would be as long as it is without that many cutscenes. To me fromsoft does that the best. Nobody has matched them in eviromental story telling imo.
@BoldAndBrash Those cutscenes are based on the manga and show so that's not the games fault. Last of us and god of war drag on with cutscenes taking up most of the time actually played.
"Kakarot lacks fluent gameplay. It's quickly thrown together to make a cheap game in a short amount of time to check all the selling boxes" Strongly disagree. And actually some of the games issues were actually affected during covid. I'm not a fan of that excuse myself. But that was actually an issue cc2 encountered when making kakarot. Gameplay is quite fluent actually. I think you meant depth. For what it is it works very well not amazing but alright.
I actually love the arkham games. Never considered them open world more like sandbox games where many tools are available. A very unfair comparison considering we're talking about a db game where they are limited to source material. So no try that again. We're talking about an anime game not something that blends comic art with realistic looking visuals.
"Never understood why fanboys defend mediocre games of their favourite IP's." Never understood why people with high standards can't just get off their high horsse and smell the fresh air and have fair expectations. Because clearly you don't. Did I say kakarot was perfect? No not once. I actually have MANY gripes with the game that don't pertain to your ridiculiuos standards that actually help elevate it. DB fans don't care about their db games being hyper expensive corridor walking games. They want fun gameplay. There's a reason people till this day still play Xenoverse 2.
@BoldAndBrash "Sony would've made a way better DBZ openworld game than this PS2 feeling superhero licensed game." With 10 hours of cutscenes and 4 hours of gameplay. Guess you want ultimate tenkaichi 2. Calling it a ps2 game is a compliment. That's the best era for db games actually.

Re: Resident Evil 4's PS5, PS4 Remake Headlines RE Showcase Just One Day After Silent Hill Stream
@Uncharted2007 That's fine. I don't care if you like it or if you're buying it or not. My point was it has more purpose than the last of us remake.

Re: Despite Scrapping PS4, Gotham Knights Is Just 30fps on PS5
That lady is full of *****. There's no challenge here. Just plain lazyness or incomptence. I'm going with the latter.
Re: Despite Scrapping PS4, Gotham Knights Is Just 30fps on PS5
@Kairu Maybe because 60 fps helps games like this play better and people being used to 60 on current gen systems makes this into a big deal.
