Re: Round Up: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Reviews Sing Its Praises

SegaBlueSky

This is sounding more and more up my street as I hear more about it. Looking forward to the Push Square review. It sounds like it's a lot less bloated and a little easier to play through than the previous games which is exactly what I wanted. I don't have time for many 100-hour adventures these days so a tighter story and less focus on side quests sounds great.

Re: Poll: What PS5 Launch Games Will You Buy?

SegaBlueSky

Day one is all about Demon's Souls, but I'll be picking up Miles Morales ASAP after that. Bugsnax I'll get with PS Plus and looking forward to it. After that, I'll be upgrading my copy of No Man's Sky and hopefully picking up Sakcboy at some point. Also interested in Assassin's Creed but it's much lower priority than the rest at the moment.

Re: PS Plus November 2020 PS4 Games Announced, PS5 Game Bugsnax Included

SegaBlueSky

Great start to PS5 if you ask me. Astro included and Bugsnax with PS Plus? Lovely. Definitely grabbing Hollow Knight as well, got it on Switch but will definitely take a PS5 version with haptic feedback enhancements! Plus there's loads of games on the PS Plus Collection that I'll be taking for a spin. So Demon's Souls if the only game I'll actually be buying outright at launch.

Re: There's Growing Concern Over the PS4 Version of Cyberpunk 2077 Following Delay

SegaBlueSky

Hope it turns out good - it would be such a shame for the developers to go through such well-publicized stress and pressure only to have no result at the end of it. As far as my understanding of submission goes, I'm pretty sure that the build would have to be approved and tested before going to manufacture as that whole process is managed by Sony and MS respectively. Might be wrong but pretty sure that's how it works.

Re: Sony Admits Not Everyone Will Be Able to Get PS5 At Launch

SegaBlueSky

Good to see that the excitement and demand is there, but yeah it’s not all that surprising. Covid is bound to have increased demand as well. Bizarrely enough I wasn’t planning to preorder originally but just kinda got lucky with GAME when they put a few cancelled bundles back online.

Re: PS5 Unboxings Reveal the Hardware in the Flesh

SegaBlueSky

Glad to hear you guys are getting your PS5 soon, looking forward to hearing what you think. Exciting to see the coverage coming out today, Astro Bot looks like a great little game and I can't wait to try out the haptic feedback on the DualSense!

Re: Will PS5 Support 1440p Screens? Fans Are Eager for Answers

SegaBlueSky

1440p is important because lots of people like to game on monitors, and having 4k on a monitor of that size is largely pointless. Lower resolution and high frame rate is the way to go on those kinds of displays - which in the influencer/streaming world we live in are now becoming more popular for consoles. Not everyone plays on their main TV in the living room and it would be great for Sony to support that. You'd think it wouldn't be too hard to do, so fingers crossed.

It doesn't affect me - I play on my main TV for the most part and I'm not particularly fussed about 120fps personally, but I can totally get why it would be a priority for other people.

Re: Best PS4 Horror Games

SegaBlueSky

The Last of Us 1 and 2 are up there with my favourite games of all time, and definitely have their horror moments, but if I was choosing out-and-out horror games for a horror fan the winners would be Resi 7, Resi 2, Bloodborne, Until Dawn and PT.

Re: PS5 Custom Faceplates Are Already Available to Pre-Order

SegaBlueSky

I'm sure there will be some good options eventually, but the 3D renders of these (as opposed to physical photos) and awful eye for design with the matching backgrounds make me think this probably isn't the company to go for. Will wait and see. Would rather pay a slight premium for a well made and finished replacement.

Re: All PS5 Launch Games

SegaBlueSky

I wonder what the PS5's first PS Plus games will be? I remember Resogun being a great bonus when starting up with PS4 back in the day so it'll be interesting to see what the equivalent is.

Re: DualSense PS5 Controllers Are Starting to Appear in Retailers

SegaBlueSky

@Kidfried Yeah I was a bit unsure about the looks at first too but it's grown on me. Do wish the square/triangle/circle/x buttons kept their colour scheme as well rather than being all monotone, but oh well. Like you say it's what it can do that gets me excited. One of my biggest disappointments with the Switch has been that so few developers have really used the HD rumble so I'm hoping that haptics really take off with PS5.

Re: DualSense PS5 Controllers Are Starting to Appear in Retailers

SegaBlueSky

@Medic_Alert Yeah, absolutely. I love the look of the new Shock Blue Xbox controller, but it is a shame that there's nothing really new there.

Also much prefer the look of the Series S, personally. I agree it's all very samey so far. Good, don't get me wrong - and exceptional value with Game Pass - but still samey. There's games down the line I'm excited for like Fable and Hellblade, so I expect that eventually I'll pick up a Series S.

But at launch, there's not much to get my blood pumping.

Re: DualSense PS5 Controllers Are Starting to Appear in Retailers

SegaBlueSky

New controllers can be such an exciting thing to get hold of. Remember being so excited when I finally got to hold the Dreamcast controllers, Wiimotes and Joy Con for the first time in particular. Really looking forward to DualSense, the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers together just seem like such a cool new change, can't wait to try it out with Astro Bot particularly.

Re: Have a Gander at the New PS Store for Web Browsers

SegaBlueSky

@fluggy Agreed. I fully expect a new app to launch, to be honest. That's my hunch anyway.

As for the store stuff, I wish people would bear in mind that the people working on this stuff aren't idiots...the amount of work, thought and preparation that goes into something like this is no small matter. There's a lot of reasons for making the choices they have and most web designers would say the same.
