It's annoying that they seem to be pooh-pooing VR all of a sudden, particularly as we got all those leaks showing some really exciting potential PSVR changes. In fact it was one of my reasons for getting a ps5. I will probably hold off getting a ps5 for now as I am playing my PC (which I am just about to upgrade my GPU) and my Nintendo switch way more anyway.
If they announce PSVR 2 next year then I will probably try and get it with a console in a bundle. Honestly the only exclusives I really wanted are Spider-Man (which I am now buying on PS4) ratchet and clank and horizon. There were other games I liked but I'll just pick them up when I finally buy a ps5.
The other thing is if they are planning to release a pro version with closer specs to or better than the xbsx at some point I would rather bite at that. I want to see some really impressive changes to VR when they finally launch it on ps5. I mean it was pretty impressive what they did with the PS4s hardware for the PSVR. So I think VR on the ps5 could be really good. That is of course assuming they make sure good VR controllers and bury the move controllers for all time lol.
Yeah I'm really looking forward to this. I'll be playing on PC in VR. As some have mentioned the VR demo in battlefront was amazing so if they build on that it should be something special. I just hope that it is somewhere near how good the rogue squadron games were.
@JoeBlogs Well yeah, something needs to push these companies to make more advancements. The issue is lack of real competition and everyone making incremental changes rather than really pushing things. Nvidia and AMD have basically not pushed the boat at all when it comes to GPU advances. Personally I feel graphically the generation differences are getting smaller each time.
If ps5/xbox does something exciting and gets high end games running 4k at a minimum of 60fps with raytracing then yeah that's actually good value and well worth looking into. But more than likely they only care with competing with each other and so we're going to be back to how we were with current gen (until switch mixed things up a bit). I'm not saying I regret buying a ps4 because it's had some really good games. But I found myself wishing some of the exclusive games were on PC just so I could run them better. I've been playing destiny on ps4 for over 4 years, but the moment it came out on PC I wanted to jump because it runs so much better.
So yeah if ps5 gives me a reason to buy it I'll be very happy but at the moment I can't see it happening sadly. In fact the thing besides launch titles that may be a motivating factor for me would be if psvr 2 turns out to be fantastic. They need enough power and optimisation not just to run ray tracing or 4k but to be buttery smooth too. That seems to have gone out the window with consoles recently!
Ps5 is going to have to be very impressive for me to consider buying. There is literally no advantage at the moment for anyone that owns a decent gaming pc. The only way it will be worth it is if they announce some really exciting exclusives. The hardware also needs to be really heavily optimized so at the very least it can get 4k 60fps or 1440 60fps with ray tracing. It's just not going to be worth it for any less than that as for more than likely the same price point or less AMD will be launching their high end GPUs next year. I'd rather just upgrade and not be stuck with a controller.
@Wormold Same, I've just purchased an oculus rift so I can start playing on pc too. My wife bought it me as a present and honestly I wasn't sure how much I would enjoy it. But I really love it lol, some games are downright hilarious in VR.
It's annoying that they cancelled it because of a "change in the market". Meaning they probably saw how much games like fortnite are making and decided we can't really load a single player game with microtransactions so screw it. They even said that they want to make games "that people will keep coming back to". What are the chances they are going to make a game focused on a single player campaign without a money making multiplayer mode now? It's unlikely to happen...
Yeah then when you run out of them you are screwed lol. Yeah it's when you have 3 or 4 of the jetpack dudes launching at you while there's a few of those mini gun dudes it's a nightmare >.<
@JoeBlogs Yep I finally got all the trophies last night, but the challenges and the bases were definitely the hardest in the game so far. Particularly if you like completing all the optional challenges. I'm probably just dumb but in the new stealth challenges it took me a minute to figure out what she meant by "the motion sensors" it's the spotlights that move and you have to web the lamps to temporarily shut them down. But yeah the new bases and stealth challenges were much harder. The big dudes with the chain guns are a nightmare if you run out of gadgets. Combat and skill challenges I finished first or second time. They have just made the timer shorter I think. But yeah I finished the last dlc in one night no issues. This dlc took me 2 nights of ragequit and then I got pretty much the remaining 70% done last night lol. I think the crimes are easier on this one though and you can complete them faster which IMO was a good thing lol.
Fair enough probably just a difference in taste. They have said the dlc will be quite story based and will flesh out some of the characters so I'm looking forward to that. I still need to try horizon I've heard good things about it!
Announcing the dlc before the game was stupid but I thought the game itself was fantastic. Even on how fluid the controls, movement and combat were in the game it sure is not mediocre. But if you didn't like the story then each to their own I guess. I would like to hear what in your opinion is a top rated game?
Played it not long ago and personally I still love them. Yooka Laylee wasn't comparable to the Original Spyro games to begin with IMO, it just felt empty to me.
I think with what remains of Edith Finch it is just poorly optimised in parts. Even on max settings on pc there was parts that weren't optimised well. Loved the game though, fantastic story!
But yeah I wasn't saying they can't run smooth, they do run very stable and very smooth. It is just some games feel much better at 60fps. For example a game like Life is strange would not matter if it was 60 or 30. But would you want to play super smash bros at 30? :/
@Gmork___ In games that are fast anyway then yeah definitely. Destiny 2 looks miles better on PC than ps4. However games that are mostly cinematic really don't benefit as much from the frames. Movies are normally shot at 29fps if I'm correct.
Yeahh I did some research and people basically call it a spiritual successor. It was made by the same people too! I'm actually really looking forward to this now lol.
Looks a bit like firebugs, that game was awesome on PS1. If they ever did a sequel to that I would buy it in a heartbeat! I don't buy many racing games but it really does look fun. If there isn't a big difference in performance I'll probably grab it on switch.
EA getting exclusive rights to star wars is one of the worst things to ever happen to the franchise. We could be getting a whole variety of next gen star wars games and instead we're getting pay to win, microtransactioned eye candy.
@Futureshark Really isn't necessary IMO but updating it to the same as we have on pc would be nice for console players. A portal 3 or dare I say it half life 3 would be awesome. All valve's games are frequently played by PC players so a new entry would make PC fans hit the roof!
Wow... Makes you proud to live in the UK when you realise that FIFA and COD literally repeat hashes of the same game that come out annually sell almost five times more than Crash and Horizon. Apparently us Brits have no taste in video games!
Yay! If this is true then I cannot wait for this, played the crap out of spyro 2 and 3 as a kid. Spyro 1 hasn't aged as well so a reboot would be awesome! Even better if we get some new content!
Weird you have the one guy commenting in Japanese with the other two ladies speaking Mandarin. Don't see that many interviews for games in Chinese! I think the one lady is translating but then the guy is saying stuff back in Japanese XD
Disney should have just given bioware the rights to make Kotor 3. Would have helped Disney's star wars reputation and as long as EA wasn't involved I'm sure sales would have been through the roof. I hate how some of my favourite developers have been swallowed up by bigger greedier developers and now they just aren't as good. Or possibly aren't allowed to be as good!
Just finished this yesterday on PC, I'm looking forward to the bonus episode! It's kind of horrible playing a prequel as you know how it's going to end, definately a game that tugs at your heartstrings!
It's great, both my ps4 and switch are getting plenty of use at the moment. (I play forza on PC screw xb1 lol). The more sales they make the more games we're going to get! Nintendo are already producing another Zelda game whereas the Wii U got one right at the end of its lifespan and it wasn't even exclusive. Ps4 is doing well and we've had some really good games out of it. The thing that drives me mad about Xbox is they have so many fantastic IPs and they just rely on third party gaming. Bring out a new Banjo, perfect dark, conker and mechassault then I would happily purchase one. I'll stick to ps4 and switch for now as they both deserve the success they are getting.
When I saw two characters we've never heard of I expected them to be something really obscure... I wouldn't call the atom obscure lol. He's a fairly well know DC character that has been around quite a while. Not to mention he's in Arrow/Legends of tomorrow. Enchantress is in suicide squad so while the film sucked I'm sure quite a few people have heard of her.
@BAMozzy You don't have to do the whole lost sector again. Basically when you finish it and open the chest a door that leads back to the outside opens. So we what you do is run through the entrance get to the end of the corridor where it changes locations, run back and the location will change back to the weep and the chest will respawn. It takes about 15 seconds so if you rinse and repeat your getting about 12 faction tokens a minute.
I've played amnesia the dark descent and a machine for pigs on pc. Both games made me realize/confirm I am not good with scary games lol. I'll download it and consider trying soma XD. The sound is amazing on these games I still remember the extreme feeling of paranoia in the first game from repeatedly hearing footsteps behind me slowly getting closer. That was like right in the beginning of the game too :/. For best results play in the dark with some decent headphones
I like it about the same as Destiny 1 and I played the crap out of destiny 1 lol. The mapping and public events system is MILES better. Gameplay is similar but a lot of new little twists that improve the overall experience. One thing I would say is don't judge by the beta. It has been vastly balanced and improved since then. I can't wait for the raid next week!
