Currently on board, with the ship in Nigeria. Here's hopping a new crew member can bring me a copy on 15th on Nov, if not I'll buy a copy in Singapore end of December. Can't wait. Started playing first GoW again in the meantime

Re: God of War Ragnarok Day One Patch Notes Revealed

O M G !!! You imagine since the game went gold to this moment the people from Santa Monica were doing only BugFix-ing. Highest praises for showing such commitment for their game and for their fans. Take note ... Pretty much everybody else, šŸ¤šŸ¤šŸ¤ cough Ubisoft, EA.

Re: Ubisoft Stresses the Prince of Persia Remake Isn't Cancelled

SilkySmile89

Ubisoft have really lost their way with all these BIG Open world games. Luckily AC is still selling good and bringing the company profit. Such a desapoinment from what Ubisoft once was ( Splinter Cell, Rayman , Prince of Persia, Driver, Beyond Good & Evil ) My last AC was Origins, and not in a hurry to play a new one. Even Far Cry I would rather play something like the first title then what are they releasing now.

This is a game that demands respect. Was such an amazing experience during my teen years. If Ubisoft was serious for this project from the begging they wouldn't have given this project to a new studio. Still have high hopes for this game, would benefit much more if this game would be a PS5 exclusive. Here's hoping for some particle effects like Infamous Second Son, Ray tracing šŸ„°šŸ„° ... Goose bumps.

Re: God of War Ragnarok Equals Ridiculously High Review Rating of Its Predecessor

SilkySmile89

@Flaming_Kaiser you canā€™t compare Pc development with consoles. Most PC games donā€™t take advantage of SSD, that is part of new DirectX 12 API, and you donā€™t see too many of those, most people still rocking DirectX 11 cards. PS5 SDK is similar with PS4 but to take full advantage of all PS5 features, you canā€™t make a game cross-gen. Example Ratchet Rift Apart, where new worlds are streamed in instantaneously due to the decompression unit inside PS5. Itā€™s not always about graphics ā˜ŗļø

@jordan1992 Dude !! If it was made for PS5 from the ground up, PS4 couldn't play it. That means that the game would take full advantage of the PS5 SSD , compression engine. Was no need for corridors and other level design magic to cover transitions. Don't need to remaster a game to put a PS5 badge on it. It is what it is. You have better frame rates better resolution scaleing on PS5, better audio maybe. Ideea is, nobody cares, it's still better looking then most PS5 games out there.

Re: Poll: Will You Pay the PSVR2 Launch Price?

SilkySmile89

Really hyped for this one. But I'm waiting for HL Alyx, I think that is the system seller that everyone is waiting for. I have PSVR1 with AIM controller at home, awesome peripheral that was underutilized. Just gonna sell that first and put the money away for PSVR2

Re: Poll: Will You Pay the PSVR2 Launch Price?

SilkySmile89

People are still complaining about the price in Europe compared to US but they don't get one thing. US prices have NO SALES TAX included, cause it differs from state to state, but if you add a tax of 9% you end up at the same price , as of now even higher due to the parity between USD and EUR. As most said it the price is right, having everything included, you don't need to pay extra for controllers or camera.

Re: Three Marvel Games to Be Developed by EA After Striking Deal

SilkySmile89

I don't see this game working if it's not a VR game. It's Iron Man so he should fly, so the game has to be a sandbox. Hmm kinda reminds you of anything else ?? Spider-Man maybe ?? For this game to be successful should do something different, should leverage the power of PSVR2. Motive already has experience with VR, SW Squadrons had a really good adaption in VR. Imagine your headset buzzing when you're flying through the air, or the VR controllers when you use your repulsers to fight enemies. That's a game I want to play. Thoughts ??

Re: Ghostbusters VR Officially Called Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord, Out for PSVR2 Next Year

SilkySmile89

If Sony wants for PSVR2 to be successful they need to have more fully fledged games, as always HL Alyx comes to mind, that should be the standard for all VR games. Most VR games are "experiences" and I think Sony with PSVR OG tried to copy the concept of the Wii. Most Wii games where in fact "experiences" but the only difference was that you could enjoy those games with other people, that made those experiences in something fun. PSVR has to be about immersion. Imagine playing something like Cyberpunk style game, being a netrunner and jacking in all kind of stuff in VR that would be awesome.

Re: Sony Accidentally Sends God of War Ragnarok PS5 Bundle to Customer

SilkySmile89

@riceNpea well you have to take in account that consoles are still hardware with limited resources. Even with RTX capable consoles now CPU is still utilized for calculations. So it's up to the developers how they will manage the hardware resources at their disposal. And x86 unlike ARM SOC still don't have AI acceleration built in to them. Sony could have made a costume unit same as they did for streaming compressed data and sound but this would have made the console much more expensive. Here's hoping for PS6

Re: Ghostwire: Tokyo Given First Digital Discount in Deal of the Week

SilkySmile89

@REALAIS thatā€™s only retail. Digital games have no tax. I have a US account for good sales like this. Just buy online some PS cash for the US store front. But for that you will pay tax ā€¦ so ups and downs āš–ļøāš–ļø Still cheaper than UK or Europe. In the Romanian store the prices are even higher. Normally all prices in europe are already with tax. But i donā€™t know what is the conversion rate that Sony is using but games are still to expensive. If 1ā‚¬ = 5RON games should be 350RON but actually the price is 380.

Re: Video: Why Prey Is Arkane's Best Game

SilkySmile89

Very good game. Finished it on PS4 Pro, donā€™t know how, cause the aiming and the 30fps cap was dreadful. But the story and gameplay was really good. Got that bioshock vibe when I played it. Was hoping for a PS5 patch for this one to give it another go !

Re: Ubisoft MontrƩal Takes Over Development of Troubled Prince of Persia Remake

SilkySmile89

AC origins was the last Ubisoft game I played and lost interest in them after that. Their push in live service and open world is so not the Ubisoft I fell in love as a child. I miss the games that made them great: splinter cell, prince of persia, beyond good & evil, Rayman. Such a disappointment when all you care about is money and pump out as many games as possible.

Re: PS5 Stock Issues Could Last Into 2024 as Chip Shortages Continue

SilkySmile89

@JJ2 the issue with TSMC are the phone manufacturers, they are the biggest clients (Apple, Qualcomm) they have the highest priority because they have the highest orders, what falls between the cracks, itā€™s up for grabs between AMD, Nvidia or even intel. Car manufacturers problem is that they donā€™t care about the latest and greatest lithography (5nm+ or whatā€™s latest), and TSMC is prioritising their fabs for that.

Re: PS5 Stock Issues Could Last Into 2024 as Chip Shortages Continue

SilkySmile89

@JJ2 intel already has itā€™s own production, they just canā€™t get passed the 14++++ fab. They outsource only a small percentage of their chips to TSMC (server and mobile chips). But intelā€™s market was always OEM (HP DeLL) all of which saw a increase of sails during the pandemic, hence intelā€™s shortage of chips. On the other side of things AMD fabs went to be independent ā€œGlobal Foundryā€ and manufacturing moved to TSMC.
