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

@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.

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.

Re: Marvel's Avengers PS5 Version Delayed to 2021

SegaBlueSky

Still tempted to pick up Avengers when it's much cheaper just to go through the singleplayer campaign. It's a tough one and I feel for them, because the idea of a live service Avengers game is actually pretty cool. But the finished product just didn't quite hit the right notes, and the poor technical performance of the beta on my base PS4 didn't help.

Re: Poll: How Often Will You Use PS5 Backwards Compatibility?

SegaBlueSky

I expect I'll be using it a lot at first, as I've got a fairly big backlog of games to get through, and will be selling my PS4 to help fund my PS5. I'd rather play them on PS5 since I only have a base PS4 so I'm quite keen to have them running at higher specs where supported. Probably after a year or two it'll be less important to me though.

Re: Did the PS5 UI Reveal Just Get Teased by Burger King?

SegaBlueSky

If it was just a competition then it would seem a bit weird to have a countdown when so many other places are doing “win a PS5” promotions. So I think it’s a bit more than that, but what exactly? Who knows, not going to get drawn into getting excited! Either way we’ll see the UI soon enough.

Re: Looks Like Genshin Impact Has Been a Gigantic Hit

SegaBlueSky

Gave it a quick try over the weekend out of curiosity - it is a bit brazen with its influences for sure, the storyline and characters are cheesy as heck, and there are a baffling number of systems and currencies to get to grips with. But, I did enjoy it and am keen to play more of it. The world design is lovely and the combat seems like it'll get interesting with the way you combo characters. If you bounce off corny anime games then it probably won't be your cup of tea but for me it kinda added to the charm in a weird way.

The only thing that really puts me off at this early stage is that there just seems to be so much to do - looks like it might need almost MMO-like time investments to really play and enjoy. Could be wrong, just the impression I got so far.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Promotes 'Great' PS5 Support at Launch

SegaBlueSky

@zupertramp There's defiitely a weird duality to it, you're right. Personally I've got a massive backlog of PS4 games I haven't played so the chance to catch up on all those while waiting for the PS5 games to get a little cheaper is a big incentive to get the console sooner rather than later. Otherwise, I'd still be getting a PS5, just probably not as soon.

Re: All PS5 Launch Games

SegaBlueSky

I'm actually pretty damn impressed by this lineup now. Of all those confirmed my top two are easily Demon's Souls and Spider-Man MM, but other than those I'm also really interested in Assassin's Creed, Astro Bot, Bugsnax, DMC5 (never played it first time around), Observer, Sackboy and The Pathless. That's...quite a lot! On PS4 there wasn't anything I was really excited for until Bloodborne came out.
