Re: Godfall (PS5) - Good Combat Means It's Not Godawful

TheDaddyOtaku

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.

Re: Talking Point: What Free October 2020 PS Plus Games Are You Hoping For?

TheDaddyOtaku

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...

Re: Reaction: Why Hasn't PS5's Price and Release Date Been Revealed Yet?

TheDaddyOtaku

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).

Re: PS5 Moneyhat Speculation Rumbles On

TheDaddyOtaku

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.

Re: Reaction: Sony Needs to Show Us a True, Next-Gen PS5 Exclusive After Lukewarm Inside Xbox

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.
