Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Composer Tweets About PS5 Event, Fans Lose Their Minds

@djlard You didn't like playing as a female, scanning surroundings, and climbing yet your avatar is Assassin's Creed....

AC has 2 games where you can be a female, eagle vision is used plenty, and climbing is often a chore. AND you quit HZD after 20 hours because you were bored yet you probably spent 200 hours grinding meaningless quests and side activities in AC Odyssey, right?

HZD is a great game, the Sony hate is appalling. Anything they do gets criticized, even rumors. HZD 2, Demon's Souls Remake, GT7, new 3rd party exclusives like Godfall. What exactly do you want? You want it to be more like the Xbox SX show? AC Valhalla and a bunch of last gen looking multiplats?

@nessisonett Nothing standout or original?

HZD literally had the best console grfx to date, combat was extremely well implemented, and the setting was enormously original. Also, how many games feature a bow n arrow as the primary weapon? How about the grapple gun to tie down dinosaurs?

HZD was a critical and commercial darling, it sold 15 million copies and scored about a 90 Meta. Pretty decent for a new IP.

Re: PS5 Heatsink Patent Has the Web Hyped About Sony's Next-Gen Cooling Solution

@TheNewButler

I bet it's smaller and more sleek than the subwoofer SX. Just look at PS4 and XB1 at launch.

I have a launch Pro and a glacier white and I don't notice the fan unless it's been on for a long time and gets ultra hot. Generally I can't hear it, but then again, I keep my systems well ventilated whereas most ppl are clueless about that. You shove you PS4 in a closed shelf and wonder why the fan goes bonkers..

Re: Nintendo Putting Pressure on Sony to Remove Dreams Creations on PS4

iamtylerdurden1

@andreoni79 If Sony created the content, I would agree, but they didn't. Nor do they advertise it.

This is dramatically different than if Sony just made a standard game and threw Mario in. Sony created a toolset for ppl to create art. I believe this is incredibly uncool of Nintendo as non of the creators are profiting off this and in reality the Nintendo creations in Dreams hardly impact sales of bottom line. There are hundreds of thousands of creations and eventually millions. Out of all that I saw four legitimately playable Mario creations and one Yoshi interactive scene. And Dreams isn't even some multi million big money seller with microtransactions. It's a $40 game with no MTs or DLC and ongoing support/free content. It's a game for the ppl and Nintendo looks awful by doing this.

Re: Nintendo Putting Pressure on Sony to Remove Dreams Creations on PS4

iamtylerdurden1

@Devlind do u actually play Dreams? Sony DOES NOT advertise ANY creations that use copyrighted material.

Nintendo related creations are but a tiny fraction of the content overall and ppl have been doing this since LBP. It hurts nobody and in actuality it helps promote Nintendo.

Creators don't profit off their creations and Sony doesn't advertise Nintendo related content. They actually discourage the use of copyrighted material and they promote original content within Dreams.

All this does is make Nintendo look like greedy pricks who want to stifle creativity. It wasn't hurting anyone, in fact, Dreams is what this industry needs. Nintendo should be supporting this creative revolution not tearing it down.

I have little influence, but the 636 followers I do have will be put on notice and encouraged to boycott Nintendo. They want a war, they got it. Dreams is about creativity and togetherness, they picked the wrong game and our community is passionate!

Re: Dreams - Media Molecule's Magnum Opus Is One of PS4's Absolute Best

iamtylerdurden1

@get2sammyb Dreams is the most innovate and perhaps the most important game this generation. Mm has achieved something special and i hope ppl support it considering it's only $39.99.

Every PS4 owner should have a digital copy on their system. This is more than a game, it's a living, breathing, movement that should evolve over time. The social infrastructure is brilliant , the creative possibilities are limitless. Whether a creator or a player u want to get on this ride now so u can say u were there from the begging.

"one of the few Days Gone fans"

Days Gone has 4 million players and it's expected to eventually hit 5 million units sold (lifetime). This is without artificially ehanced numbers via Game Pass and with generally bull**** reviews from critics who played on a pre-day one patch and never were able to factor the new modes.

Critics rated Days Gone in the low 70's, but gamers generally loved it. There was a huge disconnect between the two parties. Even user reviews on Metacritic are significantly higher than the critic score. The user average is a full point higher and has sat in the 80's since launch.

Days Gone was also the number one game for i believe 3 or 4 straight weeks. The platinum percentage is over 5% and it's not a cakewalk. Days Gone is a game that ppl just loved playing. There are millions of Days Gone fans out there, not a few.

Who tf actually wants Kojima to be "leashed" and controlled? Are gamers really so boring? The entire point of going to Sony was to see Kojima no limits. It's why we are excited.

The trailers actually helped to understand some of the confusing elements such as still-mothers having a connection to the other side thus using Bridge Babies as conduits.

Re: Does Sony Now Own Xbox Exclusive Series Sunset Overdrive?

iamtylerdurden1

@malbhet i find it funny that Insomniac tested the waters with Microsoft and not only came right back to Sony but actually signed with them. Must not have enjoyed their time with Phil and Co.

With all that US military money being thrown around i wonder if Microsoft tried to acquire Insomniac? Or perhaps they prefer buying small studios in financial turmoil so they can nickel n dime them? Compulsion, Ninja Theory, inXile ect.

Re: Poll: What Was the Best PS4 Game at E3 2018?

iamtylerdurden1

@Simon_Fitzgerald

1. The Last of Us II

The weight and depth of Ellie's relationship juxtaposed with the brutal combat was spectacular. Visuals and animations are the best i have ever seen.

2. Ghost of Tsushima

Stunning visuals and epic art direction. The combat was extremely innovative featuring high and low blocking and precise strikes. Unbelievable looking game.

3. Spiderman

This game will be a contender for GotY. Everything is perfect. Visuals and combat are A1.

Re: Video: Sony Needs to Solve PS4 Pro, PlayStation VR Stock Shortages

iamtylerdurden1

@Retrorob

U have NO clue what u are talking about. About 1 million PSVR have been sold and ppl haven't been ravenously returning then bc of sickness. You'd have to be an utter moron to not be able to hook up a PSVR, this isn't the HTC Vive, it's a couple HDMIs and a usb... presto!

Support has actually been great in terms of software. RE7 is literally a killer app on PSVR, it's the premier way to play it. Games like Rigs, Eve Valkyrie, Rez Infinite, Arkham VR, Until Dawn, Bound, Tethered, I Expect You To Die, Eagle Flight, Battlezone, Trackmania Turbo, Robinson, Job Sim, Werewolves Within, Lethal VR, How We Soar, SHC, Headmaster, Keep Talking Nobody Explodes, and Playroom VR are quality software. I personally LOVE Driveclub VR as well.

The reason why Sony cut advertising is bc of manufacturing problems. Believe it or not, but launching 3 new products that all require significant manufacturing is probably not as easy as you think.

Now, back to RE7 in VR!

Re: Review: Ratchet & Clank (PS4)

iamtylerdurden1

Stories: The Path of Destinies and R&C both PS4 exclusives (Stories is console exclusive), both gorgeous, both launching April 12th (NA). For less than DS3 i got both R&C and Stories.

It's good to be a PS4 owner. Now, if i can just pry myself from Salt n Sanctuary and Gungeon.

Re: Review: Ratchet & Clank (PS4)

iamtylerdurden1

@sub12 Their next game is an indie like 2D title "Song of the Deep". It's multiplatform.

I think Insomniac was soured by the flop (commercially) that was Sunset Overdrive. I wouldn't expect anymore console exclusives unless it's Ratchet. Sony owns Resistance.

Re: Round Up: Mad Max PS4 Reviews Hit the Highway

iamtylerdurden1

@Vix

You summed it up perfectly - sand, driving, sanbox. It must be terrible bc it has those 3 elements, u better not play the new MGSV either...it has all three! Borderlands and Rage also.

U guys are too much, Mad Max is a 73 on Metacritic atm meaning it gas virtually the same rating as Dying Light. Dying Light has sold 5m copies and is considered to be "pretty good" or "a fun sandbox romp" and that's exactly what Mad Max is.

When a non-openworld AAA game releases, ppl will say it's too linear.

Re: Review: Galak-Z: The Dimensional (PS4)

iamtylerdurden1

@Johnnycide

It was $15.99 plus a free theme if u preordered.

Galak-Z certainly has a story, it's delivered in episodes. It's made to be like a playable 80's anime or Saturday morning cartoon. It's not Rogue Legacy in terms of narrative, Galak-Z actually DOES have a real story.

It's flat awesome.

Re: Review: Everybody's Gone to the Rapture (PS4)

iamtylerdurden1

@xMEADx

Rapture is $15.99 if you preorder and you have ps+.

You also get a gorgeous dynamic theme when you preorder.

The download is 6gb. I preordered Galak-Z and Rapture at the same time and i've been thrilled with Galak-Z. If you 2 games in the Play 2015 promo you get an extra 10% off.
