Re: Sony Santa Monica Boss Shannon Studstill Leaves to Lead New Google Stadia Studio

Shepard93n7

From Sony Santa Monica to.... Stadia??? Now that's a huge downgrade right there.

Sad news tbh, she took the decision to call back Cory Barlog, and we all know how that ended for God of War 2018. I hope Sony can keep the cool in the studio and keep Cory happy, in the other hand best of luck for Shannon, at least Google is committed with Stadia after all.

Jym, Hermen, what are you guys up to???? We need answers!!!!

Re: Death Stranding Is No Longer a PS4 Exclusive from 2nd June

I believe they'll add the photo mode to the PS4 version any time soon. The IP is still owned by SIE after all (you can see the SIE Presents screen in the PC trailer). Maybe when the PS5 finally is unveiled they'll announce an update to DS PS4 so it can use the capabilities of the new hardware via Backward Compatibility, including 60FPS and of course Photo Mode (which will be available on PS4 too).

Re: Xbox Series X Detailed as Sony Remains Completely Silent on PS5

@Bamila 9.8 TF but also no Hardware Raytracing, which will be a separate module (according to the same leaks) so in this case we'll have to see if the specs of the 9.8 GPU and the Raytracing Module on the PS5 can match or surpass these unified 12 TF on the he XSX GPU.

Also there's other leaks after this claiming PS5 is actually more powerful so we'll have to see how this ends.

Re: Criterion to Get Need for Speed Franchise Back on Track

Shepard93n7

Back on track??? More like back on trash. Criterion games was the reason I moved on the NFS franchise back in the HP/MW2012 days and heat brought me back. Don't get me wrong, Criterion is a good studio but their NFSs are just unispired Burnout rip offs (bs wreckfests with no customization), if they're back making games put them on a new Burnout, but leave NFS to Ghost.

Re: Microsoft NieRly Stopped Platinum from Developing on PS4

They've also tried to buy Nintendo and Square Enix in the past, even tried to convince Sony to make PS2 games compatible with PC back in the day and failed (that's when the Xbox was born). They've never get along very well with japanese companies, being Mistwalker one of the few studios that have agree to work for them till the end (and never again).

Re: Sony Exploring PS4 Remote Play on Nintendo Switch, Portable DualShock Controller

Shepard93n7

This is a splendid idea, for example if your family is watching TV on the living and you want to play PS4 you can use your switch and stream the PS4 gameplay in your bed. It needs to happen, the whole point of remote play is to be able to stream PS4 gameplay on any device, switch could make a fine addition and even this could raise PS4/5 sales for switch owners.

@TooBarFoo that could work with devices connected on the same network, in that case you don't need internet to stream from PS4 to switch. Even with Bluetooth is possible.

Re: The Last of Us 2 Job Listing Asks for PC Experience, Has Some PlayStation Fans in an Uproar

Shepard93n7

This is an old job listing from 2018, it doesn't mean anything: https://twitter.com/AidenMux/status/1218971653146845185

Nvidia and DX knowledge is not required nor mandatory for the job. A programmer with the previous experience can learn in a relatively short time how to work on AMD hardware with Vulkan/OpenGL, even apple job listings ask for experience with any modern GPUs.

This rumour was started for a site with bad reputation (jackofallcontrollers), this was clearly a clickbait move by them so don't pay much attention.

Re: Poll: Will PlayStation Exclusives on PC Affect Your PS5 Purchasing Intent?

Shepard93n7

That poll is not looking good! Anyways, as I was commenting on Twitter this could work for them if the games are released 3 years after being exclusive to PS5 and if remains only for selected titles; by doing that they can make people interested in PS5 and still gain additional money on PC sales. Personally in this scenario I would definitely buy PS5 day one.

Re: Random Twitter Account Claims Sony Is About to Reveal a 'Major Studio Acquisition'

Shepard93n7

Damn! You've been too harsh with the guy; I admit I don't believe too much what he says but, you don't want this to be truth? I can totally see Sony buying Bluepoint and or Remedy in the short term, and mysteriously Hello games congratulated Media Molecule when they announced Dreams phase Gold, normally SIE Studios congratulate each others, so maybe Sony has been inviting them to join (?).

Of course my wet dream is FromSoftware joining WWS but that's highly unlikely.
