Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 319

skaarj217

Just finished Lara Croft GO main campaign on the Vita. The bonus levels are too hard, so I'm taking a break with it.
Finished playing Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders (the whole game, all five episodes) on Steam. Started playing Hexen, oh it's an awesome game! Vastly more complex than Doom/Heretic.
I plan also another try to play Saw on the X360. It is good too, it's like a simplified The Evil Within but with the distinctive riddles of the Saw franchise.
Nothing on PS4 right now, besides Puyo Puyo Tetris several times a week with my girlfriend.
Tomorrow arrives my retail copy of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice for the PS4. Will try it a bit, but I'm going to play it later.

Re: Silent Hill PS5 Reboot Rumours Are False, Konami Claims

@ellsworth004 Because
a) Konami's management staff is stupid;
b) Konami is not anymore the company it used to be;
c) Konami is not making games for normal gamers anymore. They are making something for Pachinko machines only;
d) Konami's always making wrong decisions: they are stupid. Did I say that already?
e) A brand new long awaited Silent Hill for Pachinko machines confirmed!

Re: PS5 Is 'The Most Exciting Hardware in 20 Years'

All I care about is full backward compatibility. In terms of pure power, it's obvious that the PS5 will be a powerful machine - it doesn't matter whether it beats XSX or not by raw numbers. The custom SSD will be there too. I can't think of anything more I wished for. But BC is THE most important aspect for me, especially the legacy systems (PS1, PS2, PS3). There ARE many PS3 exclusives which have not been ported to PS4. And I would be the happiest person if I could play Silent Hill 2 and Fatal Frame on PS5.

Re: Remedy Wraps Up Development as Control Goes Gold

Interesting that they burned the image on a BD-R DL disc. Which means that some (special for developers?) PS4 consoles CAN play games from BD-R media. I'm not talking about possibilities for piracy, no, no. But making backup copies of the games for yourself would be awesome.

Re: It Sounds Like Cyberpunk 2077 Is Probably Coming to PS5 as Cross-Gen Speculation Continues

I don't understand... so they will release a PS4 version first (many months before the PS5 will be released), then when the PS5 is out, it will be a "true PS5" version of the game (which won't run on a PS4), as well as a patch to upgrade PS4 version to PS5 version? And what if the non-patched PS4 version is run on the PS5 via BC, how all these game versions will differ?

Re: Life Is Strange 2: Episode 2 - Rules Is Spirited But Slow

People just want more Max&Chloe, that's it. (Not even mentioning the fact that the new characters are not that interesting as M&C).
Totally agree with Kai_. Developers chose the format over the characters people fell in love with.
There's still a chance if M&C appear in new episodes AT LEAST as supporting characters.

Re: November 2018's PS Plus Games Are Available to Download Now

skaarj217

Cannot download Burly Men at Sea for Vita. The Store page (on the Vita) doesn't have a price nor it has a Download button. On the web version of the Store, I click on Download to my Vita button and it says that the game has been put in the download queue. But nothing happens. My Vita does not begin downloading the game.
No problems with PS4 version, though.

Re: Poll: Are You a Fan of Gaming Magazines?

I live in Ukraine and we here haven't had any printed gaming magazines at all except a few not really interesting local ones. You should have had one more option in the poll to choose - "I had no opportunity to buy and read any".
