Re: Sony Under Fire for Allegedly Abusing Its Dominance in the Industry

Uncharted2007

It would seem their biggest concern is Romanian devs not being able to publish games on Playstation. I'm not sure why Romanian devs would be excluded, but they have been enough that the RCC deemed it necessary to note. I think the other issue with digital games is secondary to them and was used as the primary factor due to wanting other countries to join the fight. We'll see what happens, but I'd like to hear more about why Romanian devs haven't been able to publish.

Re: Reaction: Sony Flubs First Proper PS5 Presentation in Over 18 Months

Uncharted2007

@RobN Going to disagree. I am a realist. I had a laundry list of things that would have had me hyped (nearing a dozen) and all they had to do was mention one of them. They showed almost nothing their studios have been working on expect what... a Payday clone and more Spiderman. It was a truly poor showing and I hope they feel it from their consumer base.

Re: Poll: Was This Sony's Best PlayStation Showcase Yet?

Uncharted2007

This was probably the worst Playstation showcase I can remember. They showed nothing of interest to me that was new. There was nothing making my PS5 purchase worth the price of admission. I can't believe they had so little to show they had to throw in a new trailer for the GT movie. Honestly... this was pathetic after two years of silence.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1 PS5 Pre-Orders Punched to the Top of PS Store

Uncharted2007

A different angle on this... anyone remembering when MK Deception launched on PS2 and Xbox? You got a second disc with MK1 or 2 on it and a Kollector's Kard that was metal. PS2 had Sub-Zero while Xbox got Baraka, Melina, and Scorpion. I think Raiden was on one of them as well. All depended on which store you bought the game at.

Just checked for the $110 physical copy of MK1 on Gamestop, you get only digital items and a steelbook. I think it'd be more enticing if they went with Kollector's Kards again. Maybe instead of metal, have a regular set with all the characters? Might be fun.

@FenIsMightier If you buy physical, you DO own the game. The exception is if you buy the disc to an online only game like Destiny, then you're at the behest of the servers being active. A game like MK, Uncharted, or anything else single player, you own it. Even if the publisher sent out a kill script to disable every install... all you have to do is disconnect said system from the internet and continue playing.

You own your copy of a physical game.

Re: Poll: How Hyped Are You for the PlayStation Showcase?

Uncharted2007

I'm middle of the road. I have hope to see something of interest to me, but my expectations are severely low due to the last few years. Sony can either deliver in two days, or I'll basically be checked out of modern gaming and more than likely won't buy the next gen of systems (PS6/XB1000/Switch2).

Re: Sony Won't Back Down on PC Ports, But PS5 Is the Priority

Uncharted2007

I don't think Sony has yet to release an "exclusive" day and date on Playstation and PC simultaneously. Once that occurs regularly, Playstation hardware sales will drop precipitously. I wouldn't be too surprised if at some point in the future, Sony simply releases their own line of Playstation graphics cards for use in PCs. They'll team up with one of the major graphics cards manufacturers making a PS6 or PS7 spec graphics card that can be boxed as its own product giving it the same spec as the console for that part. Who knows.

Re: Publisher Take-Two Claims It's 'Not Seeing Pushback' From Players on $70 Price Tag

Uncharted2007

There are few games worth owning (spending any actual money on) that release in today's realm of GaaS focused publishers/developers. Even fewer are worth the $70 asking price. Zelda TotK was one of the few worth it. I cancelled my preorder for Immortals of Aveum after seeing it was $70. It's an unproven new IP. It looks interesting, but only at $50 or less.

Not even the upcoming MK1 is worth $70 to me and I've been an MK fan for 30 years now. One of the reasons for this is because I know modern developers don't release completed games anymore. Especially fighting games, you get half the roster. The rest will be slowly released as overly expensive DLC.

Hopefully I see at least one announcement from Sony next week of a game deserving of the $70 asking price.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Announced for PS5, Out 19th September

Uncharted2007

Great trailer but not enough to make me buy day one. I'm a patient person having waited until last December to buy MK11 Ultimate (PS5). I ignored MK11 until a Komplete version released and even waited for a massive price drop on that. I'll more than likely do the same for this new title.

Re: PlayStation Showcase Finally Announced for 24th May

Uncharted2007

It'll be canceled the day before.

I want one of these to be shown or I'll simply give up on modern gaming:

  • Uncharted continuation
  • New Tomb Raider
  • Mass Effect 5 info
  • Dino Crisis reboot/remake
  • Warhawk (PS3) Remake with single player
  • Shenmue 4
  • Witcher 4 info

Just one of those is all I ask. I expect nothing.
