Re: PSVR Hit The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners Will Survive a Sequel

nookie_egg

@gollumb82 People seem to love the vr on re7 so it may have just been me and my ***** eyesight (prone to migraine), but yeah for me on an original ps4 it actually gave me a headache, and I tried several times. Not sure if it was the pop in, the low resolution, bad textures, the movement or whatever (I notice batman was a teleport movement instead of actual movement so maybe that was a factor?). Like I say, I may well just be in the minority, as everyone seems to rave about it. But had no such problems with astro and arkham so I don't know 🤷‍♂️

Re: Talking Point: In Theory, Could Xbox Game Pass Come to PS5, PS4?

nookie_egg

Actually, the more I think about it, this ABSOLUTELY should happen.
Take netflix. People were initially chuffed with this service because it had all the benefits of live tv, but without the ads and everything else that came with it, you could pick up and leave it as you wish and come back to it. It had decent shows and people were generally happy. Then another streaming service came along and took away some of the appeal. Then another, and another, and eventually people that were initially thrilled at the idea of cutting the cable of tv, now had the same problem they had in having to subscribe to too many options to get all the shows they want.

This is a similar thing. There's now way too many choices for streaming content (gamepass, now, ubi+, ea vault, etc), so why not tryto get the boys to play nice and consolidate all that and benefit everyone.

Re: Poll: Does Sony Need to Take Action After Microsoft's Activision Buyout?

nookie_egg

@Mhoney You say that, but even stuff like CD's back in the day had exclusive content. Digipacks, or even Japan exclusive songs or whatever. Obviously not so much of an issue these days due to streaming and youtube, but they certainly used to be a big thing.

Films have extended cuts and directors cuts. Hell, Disney had the fabled vault where they would literally lock away films. If there is a way for publishers to fleece more money out of the customers, they will find and exploit it.

Re: Poll: Does Sony Need to Take Action After Microsoft's Activision Buyout?

Said it in a different article, but just do a pc PS store (launcher like steam), stick as many classic games (from ps1-5) on there that they can, and gain some much needed extra £ that way. They're in the process of bringing their library over so just streamline that, especially whilst manufacturing issues remain for the consoles themselves.

Maybe buy SquareEnix or Capcom (both are viable). And sort out some exclusivity deals with From.

Re: Sony Stock Value Loses $20 Billion, But Will Likely Recover

nookie_egg

@GalacticBreakdown Yes I do. I also know that the most recent film alone has made over a billion that they've had to share with Sony. Presumably Sony paid x amount for the games exclusivity as well, which again means profits would have been shared. Spidey is literally the biggest superhero in the world atm (more than superman and batman) and the potential for stuff from that ip alone is huge
Not forgetting that psn made more than the xbox and Nintendo divisions (combined possibly?). So why not just purchase the whole company and take all the profits instead of sharing.

Re: Sony Stock Value Loses $20 Billion, But Will Likely Recover

nookie_egg

The mouse will swoop in for the Sony purchase, for that sweet sweet spider-man cash cow. With the success of the latest film, and the insomniac games that sold millions and millions, plus the wolverine game (presumably more down the line) not forgetting the venom property as well as mobius and any other spidery property they got going on. Gives Disney the perfect gateway to the gaming industry they left previously.

Re: Poll: What's the Best Uncharted Game?

nookie_egg

2 by a very large margin.
I stand by 4 being a disappointment, other than the scene where you are being dragged behind the van, good lord.
I hope they manage to slap Golden Abyss on a ps4/5, that deserved more than it was able to work with.

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Realistically Expect from PS5, PS4's Game Pass Inspired PS Plus Reboot?

nookie_egg

I'd hazard a guess at a selection of rotating ps1/2 games with trophy support to download. Maybe upscaled in a similar way the xbox would with legacy stuff.

Rotation of Ps3 streaming as they aren't going to piss about with getting an emulator going on the ps5 when it can be streamed.

Maybe a ps4 IGC like they used to do on the ps3. Or just access to the ps5 ps+ games that should be available on ps4 anyway.

And access to now.

I don't think that's too much if they are combining the services anyway. Also, I can only assume that they will do something to eff it up and will only have the benefits for ps5 users.

Re: Poll: How Long Should Games Be?

nookie_egg

I said 10-20. But if a game interests me I will happily indulge in a 200 hour playthrough (MGS V) or a good rpg (Digimon CS/HM at a combined 230, Ni No Kuni at 120). But 10-20 to get everything done is probably optimal for me.

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate PS Plus in 2021?

nookie_egg

Out of the list, there is 16 that I either downloaded to play or would consider doing so.
This includes 5 that I probably would if didn't have elsewhere (usually from Epic freebies).

Other than that, no good for me. Though I can certainly see the value in some months just not my personal tastes.

Re: PS5's New PSVR Headset Officially Named PlayStation VR2, Full Specs Revealed

nookie_egg

Loved the ps4 vr, even if I didn't use it all that much I got it an absolute steal of a price. I really liked Arkham VR, the playroom and absolutely fell in love with Astro Bot. Still have Moss and all of the freebies they've given for it, including Saints and sinners so have lots to keep me using it if I ever have the time or need. Re7 physically hurt but everyone else seemed to love it in vr so guess that's on me.

I would not expect much change from £500 for vr2. That's before they do the wireless revision a couple of years down the line. But it's an interesting bit of kit certainly.

Re: Most Anticipated PS5, PS4 Games of 2022

nookie_egg

I am literally in the 0% in liking the look of that Evil West according to the survey.
I wont be aiming for a ps5 next year however, waiting on a slim/pro and more stuff, so wont be purchasing said game anytime soon. I hope it reviews well however.

Re: Video: Reboot, Remaster and Remake - What’s the Difference?

nookie_egg

It's pretty self explanatory I'd have thought:
ReMASTER - Same thing with better visuals or frame rate - MGS HD collection.
ReMAKE - Take what was initially there, and rebuild it following the same basic framework that was already existing (N Sane Trilogy/CTR/Spyro)
ReIMAGINING - FF7 Remake. Take the story, rebuild it from the ground up, do things different but pay homage to the original.
forgot ReBOOT - Tomb raider 2013 trilogy. Same characters but completely different to initial games.

Re: Raw Forspoken Gameplay Features Combat, Menus

nookie_egg

As good as this looks (although granted, needs a few cans of Mr Sheen before release), SE really need to stop starting 97 projects at once. Get FF7R part 2 out the door, get FF16 out the door and then maybe commit some time to the other newer projects.

Re: Soapbox: I Think I'm Over Trophies

nookie_egg

@mephistosghost Not every game has them, but there's quite a few that do actually offer themes or avatars etc for platinums. God Of War, Spider-Man, Horizon all did it, not sure if others did too.
