I love this game but my biggest game breaker is the extremely loud noise of the PS4pro's fan. Never played a game before that made the console that noisy - it is even louder if you are in the menu. Other games that use the power of the console 100% are not even close to be that loud. I can't even understand the dialogs anymore. Need to find my USB headphones to play this game.
Edit: Just cleaned the fans with a q-tip and the noise is better. Not perfect, but better
@LiamCroft Well, in my opinion it is a wave shooter because the gameplay is more or less a SHMUP like galaga or invaders with fixed move patterns of the enemies with no enemy AI but prerecorded behavior. No, I did not buy or play it but I watched in game footage and read 3 reviews who all told the same (repetitive, wave-shooter, very boring).
Sometimes I don't get your reviews. I often really like them but come on: This game costs 40 Euros and is EXTREMELY repetitive, every level looks the same, it is just a SHMUP. A wave shooter with good but very boring graphics (no variety). Ok for 10-15 Euros but not in the same price range as Astro Bot or Farpoint. And I say that as a person who likes SHMUPS.
I bought it and enjoyed it but did not like the close camera. You had to memorize the whole level because there was no way to see where the next opponents came. It is quite hard so I needed youtube videos to beat it on the hardest mode. I will come back after the patch is out and then finally go for the platinum.
So stupid: a) only a fraction of gamers worldwide could use due to connection speed b) the input lag makes a lot of games unplayable c) good luck streaming VR with 90 or 120 FPS. I can't hear this nonsense anymore. I have glass fibre and even with that connection I have an input lag that makes jump and runs unplayable in streams. Can't imagine this can be fixed. And even if everything works out. Imagine the workstation centers needed if 10.000.000 people want to play at the same time? Absurd. You would see the sign: Too many players want to play this game, sorry
Completed it but I'm a bit disappointed: No Euros but US-Dollars? Is Europe THAT far away from Britain and the US so close? Or do you guys think only people from the UK or US are capable of reading English
@get2sammyb Is it even certain that this game comes for PS4? The alpha test was PC only. There was no mention of a PS4 version. But this can change of course.
From what I know about the game it is the opposite of what made me love Housemarque games. Another online focused team based game. The major players like Blizzard and co can do that better. Housemarque should focus on unique games and not try to get a part of the big cake. There are only crumbs left
I own the season pass so I'll grab it. Just started with the first expansion after spending 70+ hours in the main game to get the platinum. Best AC game in my opinion yet. I liked the setting of Black Flag much more but overall Origins is the better game.
@Ralizah Of course you decide that for yourself, I am not your father nor will I make it a christmas present for you. The game does not have a constant 30FPS on a PS4 pro, so good look with the switch version.
@Ralizah Yooka-Laylee has some big problems: Horrible frame rate (a good platformer should be in 60FPS for exact controls but it is most of the time BELOW 30FPS) and a level design were you just never know where to go next. If you don't play for 2-3 days you are completely lost.
@kyleforrester87 Motion sickness is something you get used to. I got a little bit sick a year ago when I played my first PSVR games and now I can run fast in any game with free locomotion without having any problems at all.
I loved Rainbow Moon so much. Played 110 hours to get the platinum and enjoyed every minute. I just recently realized that the developer is based only about 3 kilometers away from where I lived for a few years. For me Rainbow Skies will be a day one purchase.
Make games as expensive as you want but get rid off all microtransactions. This way the MARKET decides and not the addiction. If a game is very expensive people won't buy it or wait for sales but microtransactions are really a mess because players who are addicted and buy loot boxes destroy the fun for ALL gamers. Maybe 10% of the customers buy loot boxes and 90% have to suffer.
Thanks Pushsquare for showing these publishers the middle finger. I do my part and never buy a pay to win game. Unfortunately there are a lot of people out there who just don't understand that this destroys good games.
I think a PS5 should come in 2019. I am a tech nerd, I would also buy it in 2018 day one but as I hope for a new PSVR 2.0 together with the PS5 and having a way better VR headset in 2018 would be almost impossible as hardware prices have to drop first. But the most important thing: The PS5 HAS to be 100% compatible to the PS4 games. PS5 games will of course not run on PS4 but PS4 games have to run on PS5. This should be a very easy task for sony as the consoles are based on PC hardware.
I bought every game for PS3 and PS4 from Housmarque except for Matterfalls because of the too complex controls. I love their games. I like coop but don't like pvp multiplayer. I think their is not a lot of room for many pvp games out there because if the player base is small, a game dies very quickly, quicker than any single player game. So pvp multiplayer is not the solution for every game.
I will ignore Destiny 2 because of the arrogance of the developers. They do not implement 60FPS in Destiny 2. Not on PS4Pro not on XBOX One X. Hello? The Xbox one x is for sure 3-4 times (or even more) faster than the xbox one s and 30 to 60 FPS is not possible? That is just *****. I am a former developer, they just don't want to because it is additional work. What made me angry: The developers said: "if you want 60FPS, play on PC". Sorry, this and the extremely high price of the series (you can buy this game over and over again with all the addons) just killed it. Bungie is on my personal black list - as if they cared
For me VR is a fantastic thing. Even bad games are good in VR so imagine how good really good games are. I really hope for PSVR 2.0 with the PS5 release with higher resolution and better tracking. But even the 1.0 model is fun as hell.
@WasabiPeanut We had the PlayStation VR with the camera + 2 move controllers + VR Worlds for 405,94 EUR at different German online shops this week. So there will be sales for sure at your country soon. The headset itself was 315 Euros.
It is ridiculous. The developers should have done: a) release the game 1-2 years later when it's finished or b) don't promise things they couldn't deliver. I am so angry about this game (payed full price for the diginal version on release so I could not resell it) that I don't care about any updates. Won't play this game anymore.
@Gamer83 If Sony will allow 30FPS on the PS5 developers will publish 30FPS games even on a PS5. It is as simple as that. It doesn't matter how powerful a system is. 30FPS are easier to achieve. No polishment, lazy programming, EXTREME graphic upgrades. Believe me. ONLY if Sony or Microsoft forces developers to hit 60FPS something will change.
And if there was a PC standard - like: every PC has to have this or that power - there would be tons of 30FPS PC games out there.
It is a design decision of Bungie. If the PS4 Pro was 10x faster Bungie would use that extra power for graphic upgrades and it still wouldn't hit 60FPS. Framerates are ALWAYS a design decision of the developers. Every game COULD run in 60FPS. Bungie just has other priorities.
Preordered it a while ago because of this cool gun-controller. Could be the first first person shooter since ages that could feel "natural". I always hate the controls in FPS, even on PC with mouse and keyboard. But THIS could really be it.
