Re: Poll: Is PlayStation Losing Ground to Xbox?

SegaBlueSky

Personally I don’t think Sony has to hit the panic button just yet. It’s early days and the PS5 has made a great start. It’s just that this time around, so has MS and for me they are currently setting the standard in several areas. Which is good! It would be boring if the same companies were always in 1st/2nd/3rd, and I’m glad that MS are doing their best to make me want an Xbox this time around. I’ll pick one up eventually at this rate, whereas I had no reason to get an Xbox One.

My only “concern” really is that Sony will miss out on some amazing indie titles, as that’s where so much exciting work is being done and Xbox seems to be really chasing these devs for exclusives. But hey, if it keeps going that way then I’ll just grab a series x to go alongside my PS5.

The AAA big hitters will keep growing over time, I’ve no doubt of that. The MLB deal and Last of Us remake aren’t as big a deal as people are making out, IMO.

Re: Oh, Okay! PS5's Deathloop Looks Freakin' Rad

@DrJames I don't own it but played a bit and watched a friend play through it, was very impressed. But that holds a lot more interest to me on a lot of levels. The setting, overall gameplay style etc.

The "Loop" gimmick here, the general tone, uber-fast twitchy gameplay etc are all just the opposite of what I look for in a shooter. Admittedly, I'm not a big fan of the genre though.

Re: Poll: Do You Have a PS5?

I very nearly didn't pre-order a PS5 but the urge to play Demon's Souls was too much so I caved and managed to snag a pre-order in early October. Absolutely love it so I'm definitely feeling pretty lucky with the situation that there is now. Really hope everyone that wants one can get them for normal prices soon.

Re: Soapbox: PS5's Pad Has Made All Other Controllers Feel Ancient

SegaBlueSky

For me it's easily the best controller Sony have ever done. I've always liked the DualShock series but it's never been my favourite, and I've generally preferred the pads on rival consoles - big fan of the Xbox One and Switch Pro controllers, for example. But the DualSense is pretty much perfect and I absolutely love it.

Re: Soapbox: I Can't Keep Up with Service Games

Relate a lot to this. I've put in probably around 1000 hours in Rocket League over the years but I just wasn't playing anything else I forced myself to uninstall it. Went back when I got my PS5 but quickly realized I was enjoying myself more playing new games, so it's gone again now and I'm working my way through the backlog. Might go back one day but trying to resist.
