Re: Poll: Ultimate PlayStation Character Tournament: Top 16 - Matches 109-112

Spyro better win. When a character's first 2 games don't even appear on PS consoles and has only been in 1 game on said systems they should never beat a character who has probably been in a dozen PS games. The Witcher 3 is great, greater than any Spyro game, but Spyro is the greater PS character. That being said Yen beats Sonic because Sonic has been dead as long as there have been PS systems for him to appear on.

Come on everyone, Neo Cortex has been a PS icon for more than 2 decades. Ellie was in one game a few years ago. Playstation maybe never even gets off the ground without Crash and Neo. The voting should at least be close and instead he is getting routed. Pushsquare readers hate the early days of Playstation is what these polls are teaching me.

Re: Spyro the Dragon Trilogy Teasing Just Won't Stop

I'm telling you guys, this is just going to be the return of Skylanders. It is a much more recent series of games, that took last year off, has a current Netflix show and featured BOTH of these iconic PS characters. The Spyro remaster would be nice, but Skylanders 2018 seems far more likely.

Re: Sony Expects PSVR's Library to Almost Double in 2018

@themcnoisy I definitely think a lot of the reviews of both the hardware and software seem overly negative. IGN has also been pretty dismissive of the hardware and largely ignores the software. As someone who owns PSVR that attitude really misses the mark. It offers a new video game experience that other consoles can't offer. Games like Invisible Hours, Skyrim VR and Resident Evil 7 are incredible, and I quite enjoyed Dino Frontier and Time Machine VR as well. This feels like obviously the future of gaming and to dismiss it seems quite short sighted.

Re: PSVR Dominating as Virtual Reality Sector Passes Major Milestone

Sony definitely needs to start working with the various sports leagues to bring broadcasts to VR. This is a potentially large market that could bring in a lot of nongamers who are just looking for the best sports experience. I already have PSVR, but I would be hooked for life if I could watch the Mets in VR.

Re: Poll: One Year Later, What Are Your Thoughts on PlayStation VR?

@KirbyTheVampire I don't really get this opinion. The Switch is a pretty nice piece of hardware, but doesn't really provide a gaming experience dramatically different from what is already out there. The PSVR is a very unique experience that can't be had on any home console, and is only available with a much more expensive PC set up. 6 months ago I was faced with this same decision and it was rather easy to choose the PSVR over a Switch.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 188

I am late to this party, but received Dragon's Dogma Saturday and that has been my go to this weekend. Looks a lot better on PS4, as the graphics were really pretty terrible on the PS3. Really enjoying it so far and looking forward to it going online to be able to start using other people's pawns.

Re: Game of the Month: Top 4 PlayStation Games of May 2017

Ackbar7

None of these seem too great to me. Fighting games are me (to me at least) and the rest just don't sound like my kind of games. Rime is a game I might eventually play.
Maybe my vote should be $0.99 PS4 game Deliriant. The game was horrible but at least you can 100% it in less than 5 minutes.

Re: Soapbox: Why Did Sony Ditch Two of the Best Games of the Year?

Ackbar7

I think the idea that these indie games aren't system sellers needs at least some push back. Individually none of these would make someone choose Sony over MS, but collectively they absolutely do. They make Sony stand apart from MS and their big online multiplayer focus. While Sony's AAA exclusives still have a pretty clear advantage over MS, these excellent indie titles help to fill out the PS experience and I wish for that not to go away.

Re: Feature: The Best Games on PS4 - Winter 2017 Edition

Ackbar7

I do think it is nearly impossible for the top 2 PS4 games to actually be PS3 games. It doesn't seem like remasters should be the very best games at this point in the PS4's life cycle, and if they truly are we should have serious questions about the long term health of the industry.

Re: Bethesda May Not Be Interested in More Remasters Like Skyrim on PS4

Ackbar7

It seems like Oblivion or especially Morrowind would be the more appropriate games to remaster as they both graphically look worse, could use some more modern gaming tweaks and also found a smaller original audience meaning more people would he plating them for the first time. Morrowind especially seems like a game they could make an absolute killing on if they modernized it

Re: Talking Point: Has Holiday 2016 Devalued New Games?

Ackbar7

I think that the biggest problem is the state that games are released now. The first month or 2 of a games release today is practically beta testing that you pay full price for. By the time that games are actually completed and playable the price has dropped leaving early adopters of games having payed more for less. There are numerous games that are like this, obviously No Man's Sky being the most prominent example last year.
It just seems like an obvious choice for consumers to wait, pay less and have a better experience. Publishers need to respond to this by not releasing unplayable garbage just to meet arbitrary release dates and instead release finished products that won't leave early purchasers feeling cheated.

@Hellbringer1975 And you crash through life never giving a damn what anyone thinks or listening to advice more informed people might give you? Because that would seem to be the other side of that coin.

Re: Mission Blog: Chapter 5 - Atlas, At Last

The unexplored, discovered systems could also just be people going for that trophy. I know I probably didn't look at most of the systems I discovered. I just followed the path to center and jumped a bunch of times. Several of my "discovered" planets were just pit stops to refuel. Don't get me wrong, loved this game and the exploration aspects of it but I wanted the plat and at the end just needed a bunch of jumps.
