Re: How to Pre-Order PS5 Pro

SoulChimera

Got mine, console, drive and stand. Looking forward to November.

Would’ve been great to get the 30th Edition but with only a tiny quantity being made, we had no chance.

Re: Dark Fantasy Adventure The Midnight Walk Flares Up on PS5, PSVR2 in Spring

SoulChimera

It’s not something that I would be interested in playing on a TV but I’ll definitely get it to play on PSVR2.

The bigger PSVR2 news was Hitman (can’t see a story on it here?). It was brilliant on PSVR1 even with a Dual Shock controller.

I’ve been trying to play it on the Quest 3 for the past week and it’s so bad. It plays and looks like absolute crap. Really hope they nail it on PSVR2.

Metro looked great too. No mention of that either?

Re: The Borderlands Movie Barely Made Back Its Marketing Budget

SoulChimera

@FanCFeast It’s a lot bigger than people realise. The franchise as a whole is around 85 million sold, which places it with some of the biggest games of all time. Borderlands 3 sold 5 million in its first week.

I just don’t think it’s the kind of game that will get the gamers into the cinemas, especially when the casting is such a departure from the source material.

People that have no idea what is the game is, probably saw the trailer and just said “nope”.

Re: 25 Years Ago, Square Released the Best Final Fantasy Game

SoulChimera

Final Fantasy VII & VIII are the only two Final Fantasy games I’ve not had to force myself to finish. Both really great games.

Had the the first game on the NES but hated it.

Attempted to played IV, V and VI but never clicked with any.

IX, I absolutely hated and stopped after about 5 hours.

Finished X, bought X-2 but never started it (actually bought it on Vita too).

Then pretty much skipped them all until Remake and Rebirth, which I love.

I think this is the only franchise I’m familiar with that is so hit and miss for me.

Re: Street Fighter 6 Still Kicking, Over Four Million Copies Sold

SoulChimera

@PuppetMaster Yeah in the battle hub, the sign up counter on the left as you enter. At launch they deactivated them because it was broken, then about a month or two later they reactivated, but when you signed up, it was some crazy timing like 9pm the next day. I signed up for one, waited until the next day, got into the match and almost instantly it disconnected.

I think I need to get the play 3 games, win 10 times and then I think I have the Platinum on it.

Re: Street Fighter 6 Still Kicking, Over Four Million Copies Sold

SoulChimera

Great game, loved World Tour mode.

I put about 80 hours in at launch (which is a massive amount for me haha), but eventually moved on.

Anyone know what the tournament situation is these days?

I just needed those couple of tournament trophies for the Platinum, but when they eventually activated them, you had to wait like a day to take part in one.

Managed to get one to start and then it lost connection. Never went back, but I wouldn’t mind finishing it up one day.

Re: Mini Review: Vampire Survivors (PS5) - Indie Icon Should Come with a Health Warning

SoulChimera

It’s a game I wouldn’t normally like, yet I’ve sunk hours into the Xbox version, then again on the Apple and Android versions, then immediately bought it again and all the DLC the other day on PlayStation.

Spent most of yesterday doing it all over again on the PlayStation Portal while I had the football and F1 on. Perfect game and perfect device for it.

I remember saying it was easily a 10/10 when it came to Xbox Game Pass. The game play is amazingly addictive. It’s still an easy 10/10 today.

Re: Capcom Fighting Collection 2 Is the PS4 Compilation of Your Dreams

SoulChimera

@Rich33 It came to Dreamcast and Arcade (moved from CPS2 to Naomi) and had a GBA port. The GBA port added 3 characters from Capcom vs SNK 2. Eagle, Yun and Maki, but had to cut some stuff like music, sound and stages to fit on the cart.

Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max then came to the PSP with an extra character Ingrid and some extra modes.

Re: This Could Be Your First Look at the PS5 Game from Sony's Newly Established PS Studio

SoulChimera

@GymratAmarillo It’s been in development for a few years now. Bungie announced it in August 2019 and the image in this article got released in August last year.

If “Gummy Bears” final name is actually “Matter“ (both trademarked in 2018) according to Microsoft documents in the recent FTC lawsuit, it was scheduled for release in 2025.

Although based on trends over the past few years, you can imagine a world where it’s been rebooted internally 20 times by now. Haha.
