@Oram77 I know about Nintendo’s numerous legal shenanigans, yes. But of all three, they at least have the best output as game devs & publishers.
Besides, I don’t give a rat’s butt about Pokemon, never liked it.
It’s unbelievable that Sony is heading towards disaster. I wish for a second gaming crash at this point, as only Nintendo is still doing what they always knew (constant stream of good games). Microsoft and Sony fatcats are too greedy and busy snorting whatever fairy dust they have in their lavish offices, while destroying gaming.
I’d say that I don’t even think of buying another PlayStation in the future, as I thought that getting a PS5 early on in its life would mean benefiting from the next-gen games. However after 3 years I feel heavily burnt out. I bought more games for Switch or retro consoles (PS1 & PS2) than for PS5, because the output is not very appealing to me
Why does it feel like Sony behaves like mid-late 90s Sega?? PS5’s potential hasn’t even been fully tapped yet and they suddenly think we will buy whatever unnecessary Pro console and suddenly bring PS6 into the mix …
Customers either like throwing money away or Sony is really disconnected from the fanbase.
While I appreciate Square’s overambition when producing Final Fantasy VIII, in terms of storytelling, nice graphics and the CGI cutscenes (which I believe they still hold up nicely, especially the intro and the waltz scene), the gameplay stands in its way towards greatness. Not to say that I don’t understand the Junction/GF system, but whenever I try to advance a bit more into the story, the constant magic drawing is enough to make me want to play another game.
Final Fantasy VIII deserves a remake more than any other entry
Never thought that having a 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray and DVD drive is considered a feature for peasants only, as PS5 Pro seems to not have it at all.
Besides that, PS5’s potential hasn’t been truly shown yet, so having a Pro model would be a waste for me.
However, I am sure that Sony would not be doomed, because, just like with PS Portal, there will be millions of casual morons who will purchase any expensive half-baked device, which will always justify them to release useless midgen consoles instead of making true leaps from one generation to another.
Thus, I’m anxiously waiting for PS6, PS6 Pro Max, PS6 Mini and PS6 Air
@Andee they snatched Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties, this sums up everything about LRG. They’ll probably re-release Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing for modern platforms as well while they are at it
Just bought the glorious 3D-platforming masterpiece that is Bubsy 3D in almost mint condition for about 3 euros. This game is the literal definition of dung, especially the PAL release that has zero support for memory cards
@Jackpaza0508 exactly, also we have to take into account the fact that Guerilla themselves are developing the Switch port! Which is crazy if you ask me
I think that Sony overestimated way too much the market. I believe that even if it weren’t for the pandemic and the actual worldwide economic quagmire, the 8K boom would still have never come. I mean, even 10 years after I first saw 4K TVs on the market, I still don’t see too many adopters around. Heck, I still use a 1080p TV for my PS5/Switch combo, as I don’t have enough space for a decently-sized 4K one.
I think PS5 is capable on paper to output 8K, but not for games (at least not for huge AAA blockbusters) so it is kinda futureproof on that part.
I don’t think Sony is lying, like why would they keep advertising a feature that it is still years away from becoming something closer to mainstream?
8K or not, this gen is definitely the weakest in terms of great games lineup. It’s almost as bad as the Wii U days really
They just can’t stop copying Zelda at this point. Jokes aside, I can’t wait to play the DLC and I hope it includes a tribute for Lance Reddick, as he gave voice to my favorite character in the whole Horizon universe
I had doubts when it came to buying this game, due to my moral issues with giving money to a company financed by the Russian mafia state. Now I know that I’m not missing much
Ps, To anyone who will be triggered by what I said, I will ignore any “whataboutism”
If anyone in their right mind thinks that HZD REAAALLY deserves a remaster/remake for PS5, either they haven’t played the enhanced version on PS5, which brings the game closer to Forbidden West in terms of graphics and framerate, or they just love to simp for big corporations like Sony.
All this stuff happens not only because of corporate big wigs. The main cause is YOU, the consoomer.
I will wait for a sale or pick up a SH copy as I never got to play TLOU a whole lot, only occasionaly on my friend's PS3 and later on PS4. I still think it is pointless to remake (not remaster) a game that is not older than 10 years, not to mention the ridiculous 70 euro pricetag, but if this is a way for Naughty Dog to test modern tech for newer IPs on PS5, then it's all good
I love how ignorant the entire West is when they have never been invaded by Russia, or had to directly deal with it, and love to talk sh*t about anyone who understands that this war is especially enabled by the regular civilians through direct support, or silence and outright ignorance.
Advance Wars is indefinitely postponed because of Russia, but games like this can be released just fine. And all of you call me ignorant?
I wish you’ll never have to lose your relatives or homes due to invaders. Enjoy your pastime, *****
@Dan_ozzzy189 I have my own reasons to dislike the theme, more real than the virtue-signaling that is rampant in the West. Read a history book about the hell Eastern Europe went through because of Russia and maybe you’ll understand why I have such a grudge on USSR
@RawnDawn I can’t recall buying games where US glorifies killing Syrians or Afghans. It’s not necessarily that the game is made by Russians, but the fact it is glorifying USSR at a time when crimes are committed against an independent country in the name of reviving the same evil empire. It’s like buying a game made by Germans where you play with Nazis after they won WW2 (although we all know that will never happen because, well, they learned their lesson after the War, unlike the Russians)
As a Romanian, with family members who lived under the terror of communism installed by those same so-called “anti-imperialistic” hypocrites, I am more than willing to express my concerns
@Baircade Mundfish is based in Moscow, how is this game going to be released when they don’t even have access to PS Store is beyond me (or at least, PlayStation and Microsoft supposedly aborted their Russian operations)
The game looks great, still I’ll boycott it due to the fact that the developers are Russians and they won’t even protest their idiotic invasion of Ukraine. The whole Soviet theme is even more insulting, knowing that Russians are killing civilians and destroy cities while proudly carrying the Soviet flag with them.
Buying this game would mean I’d indirectly finance terrorists.
I wish Stalker 2 would have released on PS5 instead of this…
I don’t have a problem with the protagonist. I only hope that the classic GTA humor will still be there and not a SJW-friendly neutralized version of it. That would kill the fun honestly
Only twice I encountered this issue, restarting my PS5 after a while spending in rest mode. Never considered it such a huge issue, maybe it’s more of a problem for those very early adopters. As for me, I got my PS5 in September last year, shortly after the first revision released (the one were they replaced the screw for its base).
Looks nice, it is almost better than PS3’s emulation. Though I dislike the fact that I can’t use my Abe’s Oddysee (or other ps1 games) disc on PS5 and that the original PS1 startup doesn’t show up when you start a game…
@themightyant Well he is the ideal promoter of new tech from the PlayStation division, I expect a great VR platformer starring Astro Bot to release with PSVR 2
