@Clyde_Radcliffe Thanks Clyde. I've already played The Way on Switch and yes you are right, it's another great suggestion on the "Flashback" genre. Also there is one more, the Ministry of Broadcast which is Flashbackesque too and i will try it these days.
@JamieO Microids just released a major firmware update for Flashback 2 and they will release one more in January(or Feb).
It is very unfortunate to have such a mediocre game after all these years of waiting, especially when Paul Cuisset is involved! I wander, don't they play their game before the release and if yes, are they happy with what they see? Despite this, as a mega fan of Flashback I've already got the collectors edition of the game and I'll overcome the flaws just because I'm playing again in Flashback universe. A dream comes true even as a nightmare! 😜
And the wait for a 2d Flashback 3 has just began...
@JamieO Believe it or not we have a new generation of cinematic platformers nowadays. The eternal castle, Lunark and Full void (+ The way remastered, Switch exclusive)have a lot of another world/flashback DNA in them and they are great.
Unfortunately we missed the chance for Flashback 2 to give an extra boost to the genre but regardless of that I'm confident we'll see more of them.
As a huge fan of Flashback i already bought the game to support the team. Well this is actually Flashback with new low pixel art skin! It plays 95% like Flashback, the story so far is again inspired by classic sci fi movies and the character is wearing Conrad's clothes! It's actually very enjoyable and quite easy for a veteran player.
@deadfred77 You're absolutely right. With all that horsepower nowadays we could have had the most beautiful and life-like 2d platform game. But no, it's only pixel art .
I voted open world because in a good game you can have the goods of a linear game combined with a great scenery to explore and live in. It's very hard to achieve this but when it's done it's unparalleled. I admit though that some of my greatest gaming experiences are linear but i always think in the end "i wish this was open world so i can live a little longer within the game".
@invictus4000 Because in vr they use all the screen to display a real time 3d environment. In cinema mode they have to use some of the display(pixels) for the "screen" and some display for the "space" between your eyes and the "screen". Otherwise it would be like you're watching a huge cinema screen from like 1 metre.
Graphics may be last gen but they are also so polished for next gen that looks like cgi cartoon imho. Also i love the western sandbox they build so it's a big yes for me. Let's wait for the final review though..
Does anyone know if they add an option to change the auto correct camera? It was my main problem to really enjoy that game and the reason i haven't replayed it.
I gave up on my vr a couple of years ago. The messy cables, the heavy helmet, the camera/space limitations, the low resolution etc were game breakings. Although, i recognise it was a great, affordable effort from Sony with a true, groundbreaking virtual reality feeling but unfortunately the.. reality was stronger with this one. Possibly i'll make one last try to experience the Paper Beast and then wait for the 3rd generation which i hope will solve most of the problems.
I can't believe it's a whole decade since i bought Vita! My first and only Day 1 console! Vita was and still is a perfect portable machine with multiple great games. I have to admit though that i it's almost five years that i don't play it because portable gaming became too small for my taste ( and lastly too hard for my eyes, 41=farsightedness😁).
Obviously no2 isn't a good number for a multiplatform title that is actually solo in the market. I really hope it will sell some more in next gen consoles so we can get a sequel sometime. It's my best best urban open world game and one of the few alternatives to the gta series.
That's some great news. I'm always boring of long main stories and I much prefer the rich side content, especially in a beautiful interactive environment.
@MarcG420 You are right but I prefer some latency over the dizziness of 30 frames. And I don't play competitive games so latency isn't actual a problem. Let's hope ps5 give us 60fps as a native option.
@SirAngry Hmm I can see what you are saying but from my experience playing ps4 games on my TV with this mode turned on, I didn't get any actual problem besides some image artifacts in very fast camera movement. And all I can say, it's a life-saver! I'm feeling dizzy when I forget it off and play in native 30fps.
That's great news. I was also wandering, isn't it possible to make the same thing with FPS? It's over a decade now that modern Tvs offer artificial 60 or more FPS in their "fluid motion" mode which is pretty great imho and seems weird that consoles can't make something like that.
That's a nice addition. It would be better though to be a technical upgraded edition. As for the game, main game bored me to death but Bad Blood was a whole new experience and made me enjoy its beautiful world.
Count me in! I miss old type games that you don't need half of your life to finish them. The combination of a rich interactive open world with a tight story would be perfect so YOU can adjust your playtime after main campaign.
Sometimes I'm stuck at youtube for hours and forgot to play! So that's a nice opportunity to play more games on ps4 instead of fooling around at youtube app!
I actually have lost a lot of my hype for ps5 due to Sony's handling. Instead of a day 1 purchase as I was thinking, I may now wait to finish my ps4 backlog and move to next gen a little bit later.
I was actually forced to buy GTAV recently to see what was all the fuss about and i really dont get it. In 2013-14, i can understand. But in 2018-20... It's a really beautiful, rich game but nothing really perfect, especially in gameplay. WD2 was much more fun in that part(interactivity, npc ,hacking, shooting, parkour etc) and even Just cause 3 was better in the part of "meesing around with the sandbox" stuff. I guess it's the online..
This is my favorite cyberpunk title, I loved this game! I can't wait for the remake now. This and 2077 will melt my ps5 while I'm sniffing cyber and injecting punk!
As the majority, i'm not fan of the two-tone. I would prefer a black or white and i'm not willing to pay extra money just for the colour. Anyway, i can live with it. As for the features, unfortuantelly we didn't see the back buttons(L4+L5) and the desirable mini screen. We stuck again with this space-eater, useless touchpad! At my 5-6 years on ps4 i dont recall any moment i have used it. Anyway. At least, the adaptive feedback looks very intresting. Overall, i'm ok with it. Not excited, just a little bit dissapointed.
Come on Pushsquare, let's tranlate the translation here. He never told ps5 is a stronger/better machine. He said it's the best machine TO WORK WITH. We all gonna get ps5 but we all know the truth. Let's not try to find needles in a haystack to justify our purchase.. We are getting it becouse we adore Sony and their games, not becouse it's "stronger and better in programming"!
They were superimposed for sure. No human being would stand hearing this presentation without killing himself! Especially at the 20 minute crap of 3d audio!
My guess is we'll see something bigger and better! I don't think Sony waited for yesterday's SeriesX full reveal to announce something smaller. Otherwise the hype of the "beast" console will remain to SeriesX. Lets wait for tommorow!
Let's be honest here. Part of the early success of ps4 was the superior hardware and that all the multiplatforms were better on it. So this is a bit of let down if it's true.We all want the best performance/version of our games. Of course, the solid cards of ps5 will be the exclusives and backwards compatibility but I like the (most likely)approach of Micro$oft to choose the base and pro model from day one. Let's wait and see...
After a couple of months in the fridge, yesterday I reopened psvr for Moss. Beautiful,enjoyable,fairy tale game for one-two sittings. I already miss its world..
Being an Uncharted fan and having a great backlog on ps3, I bought ps4 with U4 release. This time though and after enjoying so much my ps4 (and ps4pro), I'm so hyped that it's a day one purchase for me! Actually I'm so hyped just as I was with my Vita after the enjoyment of the Psp! I just don't know what to do with my backlog this time... 😊
I believe the facts are: Alyx WILL come to psvr2, since it's already not hardware exclusive. Alyx WILL sell some headsets, but WILL NOT resurrect the mediocre VR success. VR success will only come when the headsets are more accessible, meaning lighter, smoother, cordless etc etc. so about after two generations. Imo software is already there in both pc's and ps. The hardware is that doesn't attract the wide audience.
There are made for each other! Let's hope this won't be Microsoft exclusive. As for cybertruck itself, just WOW! I can't believe this guy released something like that! It's like (some of) our dreams are getting true. Congrats to Elon!
I haven't the patience to wait one more year to play it after all this waiting. I have already preorder the Amazon uk exclusive. Possible I'll play the main story on ps4 and I'll leave most of the side missions and world exploration for ps5 edition.
Here in Greece, there is a limited time sale running right now with a discount of 80€. After some time we have black Friday, then Christmas holidays and after some months, a permanent price cut as usual at the end of a console's life time. So I'm guessing all these will boost the low sales. I'm guessing a top of 130 million until the end of production.
Uncharted in ps3, put me in the PlayStation family again after the break of ps2. So a great YES for me too for a sequel in ps5. I would like to see a new structure though. More open world, like Rdr2/ac odyssey and in a different time period as other mentioned. Not rpg thought, just action performer.
