Re: Poll: How Would You Rate Summer Game Fest and Its Surrounding Shows as a Whole?

I think the gaming industry is in a tough spot at the moment. Xbox did have a couple of different looking games. But all shows seem to have same looking games how many soulslike games did we see last week. There were at least 3 5v5 team PVP shooters. We dont seem to get to much new and exciting as I have said many times before this gen seems to be Remakes, Sequels and Souls likes.

Re: PS5 Fans Beg Sony for a More Fulfilling Livestream in the Aftermath of Xbox Show

My opinion is Microsoft had a good selection of games to show did get me a little excited which is something Sony hasn't done for a while. One of the negatives was that there was not a lot of gameplay in a lot of the trailers which Sony is usually better at it. Sony's problem is they are being so tight lipped about everything I think a lot of people would be a lot happier if Sony had trailers and announcements for a couple games that are further out. We don't need to know every game they are making but one or two would go a long way to build a little bit of hype.

Re: We Heard You Like Dark Fantasy Action RPGs! So, Here's WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers on PS5

So it seems like hack and slash and crazy combo action games have become niche genres for some reason. As I have said multiple times why does every action need to be souls like its boring now. Been duped so many times last few weeks seeing these games in cool settings then show the combat as souls like. As others said this is the 6th or 7th similar looking setting game we have seen in 2 weeks surely a lot these will fail due to oversaturation.

Re: Everybody's Golf Dev Skips PSVR2 for New VR Golf Game

Do feel there was a massive falling out between Sony and Clap Hanz. Easy come Easy golf isn't out on Sony consoles but out on the switch. Not a big golf fan but put so many hours into the Everbodys golf games over the last few generations. Loved the PS2 one where you could play as Ratchet and Jak.

Re: PSN Data Says Foamstars' Future Is Bleak, Just Two Months After Release

@Flaming_Kaiser You did get some cosmetics free in the battle pass I never paid for the battle bass and think I got 6 cosmetics and a character but there were about 35 levels on the pass so a low % was free. It is a shame as if they got the monetisation right could have some legs but I played for one season and a few games into the second season then dropped it.

Re: Reaction: What Is Happening to the Video Games Industry and Why Are There So Many Layoffs?

I think its a lot to do with money and time. A lot of people who have the income to buy new games also don't have the time as they work or have families. A lot of games these days are at least a minimum of 30 hours to complete. I used to buy a lot of games day one I cant remember the last big game i bought day one that wasnt an indie. I am a huge FFVII fan but I havent bought rebirth.

I like a lot of people i expect have a big backlog that seems never ending and with games getting reduced very quickly it seems wiser to wait then play day one, as usually there are a few bugs day one as well so when you get round to playing it is usually fully patched.

Re: Guerrilla's Online PS5 Horizon Game Survives Sony Cull

@TwoDents And multiple people have expressed the same opinion as me but I havent told anyone else there opinion is irrelevant. I and other people are putting across why it feels like there has been lots of entries. Its fine you don't see them all as entries but other people do. Again my opinion, so again sorry if you think its wrong all the games and expansions even the VR game have been heavily advertised by Sony (where I live anyway) when they were released which again would cause the effect of over saturation

Re: Guerrilla's Online PS5 Horizon Game Survives Sony Cull

bindiana

@TwoDents Not sure what narrative you think I am "Pushing" I was pointing out that Horizon had 5 products out in the last 7 years. Actually praising them that the expansions are substantial and not quick cash grabs. My opinion the expansions are of good length and quality they should be considered proper entries. Sorry other people don't agree with that but thats my opinion.

Re: Immortals of Aveum Cost $125 Million, Branded a 'Truly Awful Idea'

bindiana

I seriously dont understand all the hate the game gets. I enjoyed the game it was one of the best looking games I played last year. It was a huge risk but least they tried something new and not another sequel, remaster or soulslike. But as others said have to question the £40million marketing budget what did this actually pay for?

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate the Latest State of Play Showcase?

bindiana

Basically the show showed 2nd and 3rd party is doing all the heavy lifting at the moment for Sony. I have no idea why they cant tease something from one of there big studios just to give the fans something. This also extends to VR with Sony still not producing any games for PSVR2 not even a token PSVR2 version of Astrobot.

The showcase showed the industry is in a bit of a rut with most games being sequels, remakes/remasters or souls likes. Least Judas looked new and interesting. But it does seem what most fans want going by the reaction to this article.

Dave the diver is already out on Switch isnt it? Sony seems very late to the party on some of these big indie games. Still hasn't got Vampire survivors but that maybe more to do with Microsoft then Sony.
