A shame. I remember seeing the initial trailer and just shaking my head. I never liked Nights much in visual design or gameplay and this seemed to double down on some aspects but with characters that just aren't compelling at all.
@Snick27 No. The CPU is the issue. Watch the digital foundry comparison of PS4 and PS4 Pro. I'd get it for a high end PC or wait for next gen native versions. I'm waiting for PS5 and only after that version gets reviewed.
I always saw this as a very pretty, simplified Monster Hunter, similar to Dauntless, and I'm enjoying it. My only real gripes are that there is way too much loot, after the devs gave the opposite impression in interviews, and that the elemental aspects of said loot don't seem to matter like they do in Dauntless. I bought it knowing mostly what to expect and am having fun. I will likely sell it when done though.
The "no titles" thing is pure BS. It's like they copied the worst feature of the eShop. I can't read a lot of them (I'm on mobile 90% of the time) I guess they want sales to go down? Because that's what's going to happen here.
PlayStation Access did a stream of it a while ago and it seems alright but a bit underwhelming for how long it's taken. I'll wait for reviews on this one.
I don't use the party system much but appreciate that it's had a negative impact on people.
I just want to be able to easily create a group of people from the details of a game where it says how many friends own it too so we can chat about that game and potentially group up later. That should be one button press.
I managed to get the Greymoor expansion for ESO on sale recently and it will be my last Bethesda game since MS doesn't get my money. For once it would have been better if EA had bought something out.
"PlayStation 4 apps, themes, and avatars will also no longer be available through the web and mobile storefronts once the changes roll out"... Hooray! These are massive clutter on mobile.
Not a huge loss for me since I only played a few of their games, although ES6 would have been great. MS doesn't get my money so I'm done with ESO as well. ¯(ツ)/¯
I'd love to see Sony notice the recent shmup resurgence and make a deal with M2 for one of the ShotTriggers releases. Something else that I think would make sense is also adding a game to plus just before it becomes a Greatest Hit release. Really, we should have all of these from plus by now. It's pretty strange that we haven't had games like Killzone Shadowfall from launch...
I was expecting it yesterday due to the 25th anniversary date outside Japan. I suspect they are trying to get approval for a bit of a loss and/or trying to get costs down. I see the boost in production as a way to negotiate a lower price per unit from parts suppliers.
I see Sony's answer to the Series S as whichever PS4 models survive and get price cut when PS5 arrives since a lot of big third party games will be on it as well (cross-gen).
It's mind boggling how bad the PS store is and it needs a complete redesign. Almost every feature is a decade behind modern e-commerce. Try it on mobile for an even worse experience that will amaze you with its technical brokenness and lack of features.
I can't see how anyone was greatly surprised by the Spider-Man deal. Sony does have a lot of leverage it seems, based on how well the PS4 did.
I wonder if publishers are seeing an advantage here to still sell well on both platforms vs. putting their games on game pass and having PS4/5 owners then wait for a deep discount or not buy that title in order not to subsidize game pass. I've passed on buying a couple of (minor) games already because they are on game pass but not PSNow.
I think Sony would keep the pro if they discontinue anything. Definitely a price drop needed on both PS4 models at least. I'm waiting for MS to call Lockhart XSeries S so that all that "optimized for XSX" stuff doesn't apply to it and it's basically X1.5
Looks like MS is starting to figure out that people aren't buying their strategy of making a bunch of X1 games cross gen instead of actually making next gen games.
It's a disservice not to call out that these aren't the arcade versions when every other museum release has been. These are the NES versions. Huge mistake for Namco.
No surprises here. E3 would have been this month so the timing is still fine if Sony talks soon. I suspect they needed to make sure the supply chain is running ok before any hardware announcement. Re: lacklustre software... MS have already stated they have no next-gen only games for the next year or two. Everything from them will be cross-gen. Cerny's talk was a developer presentation and certainly did not disappoint me.
I liked Dirt and am looking forward to trying out Dirt 2. Have already played U4. Great game. Sony should be adding all the Greatest Hits games, ideally just before they become a GH to reward subscribers first.

Re: Balan Wonderworld (PS5) - One of the Worst 3D Platformers of the Past Decade
A shame. I remember seeing the initial trailer and just shaking my head. I never liked Nights much in visual design or gameplay and this seemed to double down on some aspects but with characters that just aren't compelling at all.
Re: Outriders (PS5) - Great Combat? That's a People Can Fly Game
Oh damn! I didn't realize these guys sold out to Epic. Oh well, scratch another Tencent game off my wantlist.
Re: PS Store Discontinues Movie, TV Rentals and Purchases in August
Sony just started a new UHD service on their TVs

Re: PlayStation Network Pioneer to Leave Sony Interactive Entertainment
Maybe now they can get someone who knows basic e-commerce to run the store.
Re: Talking Point: What Free February 2021 PS Plus Games Do You Want?
We still haven't got Killzone Shadowfall yet.
It would be killer for Sony to hand it out with a PS5 patch and watch the sequel speculation fly ^_^
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Hovers Around 720p on PS4, Drops As Low As 15FPS

No. The CPU is the issue.

I'd get it for a high end PC or wait for next gen native versions. I'm waiting for PS5 and only after that version gets reviewed.
Re: Poll: Are You Buying Cyberpunk 2077?
It would have been good to have an option for waiting for next gen version launch

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Will Let You Turn Off Nudity
Full frontal assault!
Re: Talking Point: Which Free December 2020 PS Plus Games Are You Hoping For?
Is it finally time for Killzone Shadowfall so we can play it at a higher framerate on PS5?
We should have got it soooo long ago.
Re: Godfall (PS5) - Good Combat Means It's Not Godawful
I always saw this as a very pretty, simplified Monster Hunter, similar to Dauntless, and I'm enjoying it. My only real gripes are that there is way too much loot, after the devs gave the opposite impression in interviews, and that the elemental aspects of said loot don't seem to matter like they do in Dauntless.

Re: The Godfall PS5 Trophy List Is the Stuff of Nightmares
For quantity trophies, it depends on how close I get naturally through gameplay.
Re: Poll: What PS5 Launch Games Will You Buy?
Spider-man Miles Morales
Dirt 5
Godfall
I would have bought Outriders as well if it wasn't delayed.
Re: WRC 9 PS5 Trailer Shows Next-Gen Rally Gameplay
I'll likely be playing Dirt 5 instead.
Re: Persona 5 Scramble Localisation in Doubt After Title Is Missing from Koei Tecmo Report
Hopeful for spring once the PS5 launch window ends. I played the Japanese demo and am really looking forward to this.
Re: The New PS Store for Web, Mobile Is a Dramatic Downgrade
@NeuralDeclan same here. I have to jiggle the screen to make it realize I'm on a phone.
Just sad.

Re: WipEout-Style Racing Game Pacer Finally Glides onto PS4 Later This Month
PlayStation Access did a stream of it a while ago and it seems alright but a bit underwhelming for how long it's taken.
I'll wait for reviews on this one.
Re: Sony Looking into Feedback on Roundly Criticised PS4 Party Changes
I don't use the party system much but appreciate that it's had a negative impact on people.

Re: Bethesda Games Are Looking Increasingly Unlikely on PS5
I managed to get the Greymoor expansion for ESO on sale recently and it will be my last Bethesda game since MS doesn't get my money. For once it would have been better if EA had bought something out.

Re: The Dream Is Dead: PS5 Will Not Play PS3, PS2, or PS1 Games
No surprise here. I still figure the asset swap and CPU spoof patents are for PlayStation Now.
Re: PS5 Comes with Display Stand, Other Box Contents Confirmed
All PS5 base will belong to us.
Re: Reaction: Why Hasn't PS5's Price and Release Date Been Revealed Yet?

Re: Guide: New PS4 Games This Week (27th July to 2nd August)
Demon's Tilt looks somewhat interesting but the publisher is giving it away on xbox gamepass so I'm not interested in subsidizing that.

Good for them if that's what they want.
I'm glad Sony owns The Order though.
It would be great if a sequel did happen.
