Somebody must have had a gun to their head to make them do this. Their support for the PSVR2 has been nothing short of disgraceful. I LOVE my VR2 and games like RE4, Village, and Horizon are literally some of the best VR experiences ever made. I still haven't played the new Wstrobot game because I'm still salty about it kicking VR owners in the junk. One of the biggest middle fingers in Sony history.
I was streaming Alien Isolation on my channel the last few weeks but just had to stop. While I can clearly see why it's so highly regarded, it just was not my thing. I'm way too impatient.
I thought the PSVR2 game this fall was the sequel? Haha
I recently replayed the PS2 version on my channel in preparation. I forgot how GREAT of a game this is. The narrative is truly next level. The music is insanely good. I was just waiting out on reviews for this before I picked it up. Saw this and others go live and went and bought it right away.
"Silent Hill 2 taps into those senses is through the PS5 DualSense controller, with some of the most impressive implementations of haptic feedback in years." Honestly... this has me more excited than anything else. Haha. One of the most shamefully underutilized features of the PS5.
It's smart to distance the story from Jin imo and to move the location. And I love the idea of a female protag...BUT this is a very slippery slope. If she is a woke girl boss it will single-handedly kill the franchise.
I mean...when you slow it down and put it side by side...I can KINDA see a difference sometimes?? I played through Rebirth on Performance Mode and never had a single complaint about graphics soooo...yall enjoy I guess! Haha. I'm a guy that can enjoy an Atari game running at 5 fps so I don't really care to spend $700 so that Tifas hair is slightly more defined. Lol
Wow the FF community may run you out of town with torches and pitchforks for calling 8 the best. Haha. Although 9 is my all time fave, 8 might be my 2nd favorite. I LOVE THIS GAME and it played a massive role in the development of my gaming career as well. My wife and I even played Eyes on Me at our wedding 15 years ago.
I expected as much. It sounds incredible but Im seriously still SO deflated about this backstabbing PSVR2 owners. I need more time to process the betrayal but I'm sure I'll pick this up eventually.
Let's be real...99% of those games are fun novelties, interesting pieces of history but nobody is ever gonna sit down and play those for more than 5 minutes. This is precisely what emulators are for.
Hooeully this takes us one step closer to live service games dying out. There can only be one Fortnite and a few runners up. Everyone else...STOP trying!
I've owned this game on multiple systems and will happily buy it again. Loooots of good memories playing it on GBA (lol) in the car, trying to solve puzzles as I drove around with my mom running errands. I loved point and clicks as a kid and would KILL for a Kings Quest V remake. One of my favorite games of all time.
The animation looks kinda cheap. I dunno...something about it seems off. I don't see any big indicators yet that it will be woke, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was.
This seems like a complete hassle and from what I hear it's pretty buggy/shoddy. I guess it was too much to hope for for it to just plug into the USB port and play like on PS5.
UGH. More Marvel crap. I know I'm in the minority not giving a lick (to put it very mildly) about Marvel or Disney but Fortnite had just done WAY too much with it. It's basically a Marvel game now with Fortnite additions.
I kinda hate the silent protag. To be honest, it can work for some types of games (like Mario) and it worked a lot better back in the 90s, but the big con to it is it automatically puts a ceiling on how impactful an RPGs story can be. A story is only as good as its characters and if your character is an empty shell with no soul, the ability to connect with and affect a player is severely diminished. Its the one thing holding Chrono Trigger back from being THE best RPG of all time in my opinion.
Sony are absolute idiots for not leaning heavily into Astro this gen and solidifying him as thier Mario. He's perfect in every way for the job. Sony are bigger idiots for not making this game PSVR2 compatible. I understand not making it exclusive but there is simply no excuse to not have it be both like RE4 and 8 did. Easily the biggest disappointment and betrayal in all this generation of gaming.
The reason I've never touched a Souls or Bloodborn game. Anytime an ad or preview says "Souls-like" I immediately scratch it off my list. I have too little time in life to waste it on games that revel in pissing me off. Haha. I need to enjoy every moment of the little game times I get.
Final Fantasy died and was buried two decades ago. 9 was the last true FF (and my favorite game of all time) in my opinion. 10 would have been okay but Tidus being the worst protag in any game ever ruined it. 12 was alright.
I'm just praying for that FF9 remaster (hopefully a faithful one) so I can say goodbye to the series forever.
I understand if turn based combat has to go the way of the earth but there are SO many other things that made FF magical they have chosen to abandon. Its sad to see my favorite game series fall so far but nothing good lasts forever. If I had my way, Square would pump out smaller budget titles with turn based combat and even pre-rendered backgrounds like the golden era but with modern graphics and load times. Can you even imagine??
I'm no scientist, but I would bet it would have sold better if Sony would have made.....y'know, games for it. This has to be one of the biggest betrayals in gaming history.
Whew. All is made right in the end it seems. I bet the pizza party, along with the powers of friendship and goodwill will pay everyone's bills just fine.
This is actually incredible. I thought it was great before. These are the two missing features (besides real bluetooth) everyone wanted. Its so weird to have Sony actually listening. Haha
As a MASSIVE Metallica fan, this will be the first and only time I buy all the skins and do all the things with this event. Cannot wait! 🤘🤘 I got my 11- year old son into them as well so we can't wait to grind this out.
Also...can I say I LOVE seeing all these 80s metal heads coming out of the wordwork on this Playstation news site? Haha. 😄 You all are now my brothers and sisters in metal.
Classic Metallica is amazing but I'm also a huge fan of thier new stuff. Hardwired and 72 Seasons are incredible!
@Axelay71 I know, right!!?? If they announced both this and a Rescue Mission VR2 port at the same time, my frustration would be diminished by like 90%. But they can't even be bothered to do that. What a MASSIVE blow to my trust in this company.
Complete and utter betrayal of the most hainus nature. A skyscraper-sized middle finger to all who showed loyalty with both VR1 and VR2. Objectively this game looks amazing but I'm so darn bitter toward it I'm not sure when I'll come around.
Seems like an extremely easy game to have done both flat and VR compatible like RE4 and 8 did. But Sony despises its VR fanbase.
