Re: PS5 Is Gorgeous in Person, There Are Surprising Features

@get2sammyb
Sureley there must be more USB ports on the back, right? I need multiple USB ports. 1 for PSVR, 1 for wireless headphone dongle, 1 for external storage and another one to charge my controller.
The PS4 Pro has bareley enough USB ports as it is and i don't like having cables sticking out of the front at all times.

Re: PS5's Price Could Be Undercut by Xbox Series X, Analysts Suggest

ThaBEN

I'm wondering if people are less likely to make the switch to the competitor's console since the next gen consoles will support backward compatibility.
You'de be locking yourself out of your current gen library and PSVR (assuming you don't want another extra console connected to your TV).
Seems not worth it if saving a few bucks at launch is your only motivation.

Re: Streets of Rage 4 - Bygone Beat-'Em-Up Classic Returns in Flashy Revival

@Quintumply
Do i understand correctly that all the retro content shown in the 'Official Retro Reveal Trailer' (e.g. old school characters with 16-bit sprites and original Sega Mega Drive OST) are locked behind specific completion tasks? If so, is it a grind to unlock all the retro stuff? I mainly want to play this game for nostalgia's sake

Re: Marvel's Iron Man VR the Latest PS4 Game to Receive Delay

ThaBEN

– Watch Dogs Legion
– The Last of Us 2
– Gods & Monsters
– Rainbow Six Quarantine
– Final Fantasy 7 Remake
– MARVEL’S AVENGERS
– Cyberpunk 2077
– Iron Man VR

The list just keeps growing. It may be better at this point to just skip the PS4 versions of these game and buy them eventually on PS5, so that you don't have to double dip in a relatively short period, when upgrading from PS4 to PS5.

Re: Fanmade PS5 Design Is Our Favourite So Far

ThaBEN

It was confirmed a long time ago that the only reason that the devkit has a V-shape is so that it has sufficient airflow while multiple devkits are being stacked on top of eachother.
You'll even see the rubbers on top of the devkit that are there for stacking purposes.
The consumer version will not have this V-shape.

Re: Virtual Reality Rhythm Shooter Audica Is Out Today with Four PSVR Exclusive Songs

ThaBEN

It's out today in the USA. Europe will get the game thursday november 7th.

@Neolit
It's not like when you bought 1 great RPG, you're not going to buy another RPG ever again. I do think there is room for both. As a major Beat Saber fan, i'm getting this one as well.
One cool thing is that this game will release with 36 songs availlable right away (32 in the game + 4 free PSVR DLC songs). Before the year ends they will also release 3 DLC packs containing 5 songs each.
Because it's Harmonix we can expect to see a ton of DLC at a much faster pace then in Beat Saber. And the entire game and DLC songs are all licensed music as well.

Re: The Outer Worlds Is Purportedly Not Enhanced on PS4 Pro, Runs at 4K on Xbox One X

It's not about the fact that it's missing. It's about the fact that it's missing because they received a big bag of money from the competitor and not due to technical limitations on said console.
We bought a premium PS4 Pro console or XBOX One X to have better performance than the launch versions of those consoles.

This situation is the same as going to the IMAX 3D theatre only to find out that the movie is shown in 2D and not in the IMAX aspect ratio at all.

I would be equally outraged if Sony would pay Ubisoft to release the next Assassins Creed game with exclusive PS4 Pro Support and the XBOX One X will get the exact same performance as on the launch XBOX One.

It's amazing to see how many people are blind to the fact that we as gamers (no matter what console you own) are the ones getting screwed in the end with these exclusive deals.

Maybe it's me just getting old. I remember the times where you bought a complete game without any microtransactions, day one patches, season passes and exclusive content.

@Stocksy
Healthy competition is about making a better technical product for your customers than your competitor. It's not about paying money to cripple the competitors version of a product.

@FullbringIchigo
Purposely releasing a not optimized version of a multiplatform game on the platform of the competitor just for the sake of console exclusivity and not because of technical limitations is 1000 times more f'ed up than exclusive DLC! (And for the record, I think both are bad ideas.)
If this is becoming the new trend in the console wars then i will boycot all developers who do these kind of practises.
If you're a gamer you need to be against this before this escalates and becomes the norm. Today it's Sony who draws the short endof the stick, tomorrow it's Microsoft. In the end it doesn't matter which console you own, we all lose!
Be smart and vote with your wallet.

Re: Poll: What Are Your Thoughts on the PS5, Now That More Details Have Been Revealed?

ThaBEN

Day one for me! Not only for the games but also for the 4K Blu-Ray disc drive. I've been holding off on buying a dedicated 4K Blu-Ray player to complement my 4k tv for over 2 years now, since i hoped the PS5 would contain one. Now that it's been confirmed i need to get the PS5 ASAP. Already bought a small collection of 4K UHD movies on disc, but no way to watch them at the moment, lol!

Re: Reaction: Bloated Xbox E3 2019 Press Conference Fails to Capitalise on Sony No-Show

ThaBEN

The Forza Lego expansion and the T800 bonus for Gears 5 looked fun. The rest wasn't that impressive and or mostly CGI cinematic trailers which could go either way. And i found out that most of the 'World premiere' trailers are from multiplatform games that are also coming to PlayStation. I think Battletoads was a big letdown. I've literally been waiting for decades for a sequel but this looked awefull. I lost all trust in Rare after seeing this. R.I.P.

Re: Rumour: Mortal Kombat 11's Entire DLC Roster May Have Leaked

ThaBEN

I wonder if you can perform each fatality on The Joker and if he has his own gory Fatality. Might not be the case since it's a DC character. And please let "The Terminator" be the T-800 with Arnold's likness. And isn't it great that Shang Tsung will be voiced and look like Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa! (The actor who played Shang Tsung in the movies!)

Re: Days Gone Will Get Post-Launch DLC, But Details Are Underwraps

ThaBEN

@carlos82
Yeah but the main game is open world. What i refer to where separete survival/challenge maps which you could immeadiatly load and retry once you've failed them.
Kinda like Gears of War, where you have a "campaign mode" and a separete "Horde mode", where the latter are the challenge maps that i mentioned. Once completed one of these maps you probably get a medal or score and return to the main menu.

Re: Days Gone Will Get Post-Launch DLC, But Details Are Underwraps

ThaBEN

Didn't they previously show some kind of special survival maps separate from the main game?
I'f i'm remembering correct these were some kind of puzzle maps, where you have to build traps by using the environments to kill a certain amount of enemy's.
If it's something like that, i'm ok with it.

Re: Promising New PlayStation VR Games Pushed Back in Europe

ThaBEN

Just like Megaton Rainfall, and a lot of other PSVR games in the past. I don't really mind if a game is delayed for one or two weeks. But i do think it's annoying that they always bring this news at the last possible moment (launch day). Sony can do a lot better with their communication for PSVR EU release dates.

Re: Review: Sniper Elite 4 (PS4)

ThaBEN

I love the series, and just realize that the Sniper Elite always has an option to play the game in stereoscopic 3D mode. Does this mean that we can play Sniper Elite 4 in 3D mode on PSVR with the PS4 system software beta version 4.50?
I don't own a 3D tv but do own a PSVR, so this would be a big plus
