Re: PS5 Fighter Marvel Tokon Has a 10-Hour Single Player Story, But It's a Comic with No Gameplay

It's no different then Guilty Gear really. ArcSys aren't really known for their campaigns. Hopefully there will be an arcade mode, though it probably won't cos of the team structure. It would be just 4 matches and the champion. Most of the budget would have gone on characters and stages. I think the BlazBlue games had a sort of rogue like mode that I think would suit this game.
I just hope Sony realise that to appeal to a casual audience, you need a good amount of content.

Re: Poll: Is Saros Better Than Returnal?

It'll be interesting to see how many vote for Selene. Personally I think she's a worser person then Arjun. It's just her backstory is more well hidden.

As for the overall game, it's excellent but I would like to see Housemarque move on from the formula now and onto something else.

@DarianStarfrog I've finished it and as expected the usual lot were dumping on it for depicting a same sex relationship albeit in audio log form. If that's an issue for them then I pity them for being so bitter.

Re: Sony's Superhero PS5, PC Fighter Entering the 'Final Stages' of Development

@Athrum It comes from the recent trailer. At the end when it says "which team is next" the screen goes green for a few frames. If you pause it, you can see a few bits of graffiti. Spider-Man has his face scratched out and the number 5 next to him. In Spider-man issue 5 he faced Dr Doom, so it's a big hint that his team is next. Where Carnage comes into it is on that same screen there's the number 361 in the bottom left corner. And Spider-Man issue 361 happens to be Carnage's first appearance.
So a lot of people are convinced that he is in the game. It's not certain but with such strong hints, it would be odd for them to hint at a character and not deliver.

Re: Another Highly Regarded PSVR2 Dev on the Brink After Mass Layoffs

@Jaz007 I agree that they went too far in the live service push. They didn't need to greenlight between 12 to 15 games.
Initially I thought they were going about it the right way by partnering with studios with experience in that area. But then when you hear about Bluepoint doing a live service GoW game it's like "huh...what?"

Re: Another Highly Regarded PSVR2 Dev on the Brink After Mass Layoffs

@Jaz007 I don't think they will see it like that, live service games have far more revenue potential that it dwarfs anything VR brings. Even with the failure of Concord, Helldivers 2, MLB and Gran Turismo would have brought in a lot of money. As a VR fan, I don't like it either mate but that's sadly the way it is.

Re: Sony's $7.85M Settlement Could Mean PSN Payouts for Millions

@Splat Capcom are doing what they are doing because all their games run on the RE Engine so they can reuse a lot of assets, which is great for getting games out sooner but the flip side is it makes most of their games look the same.
PlayStation studios on the other hand work with their own engines and tech.

They were one of the most prolific studios in the VR space so it's sad to see them like that.
VR in general is becoming even more niche now then it was before. There's just no money in it now.
Shuei Yosida was asked about what happened to PSVR 2 and he said no comment. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony had more plans for the headset but it was jettisoned for other priorities like their live service push. Which from a business POV I can understand but it still sucks, especially when Sony didn't even bother to port over the best PSVR 1 games.

Re: These Numbers Explain Why Sony Is Stopping Porting PS5 Games to PC

AdamNovice

Steam just seems like a completely different market. You get games like Peak that blows up big on there but God of War or Spider-Man can't even do half a million?
I always believed that PC players didn't care about PlayStation nor their IPs, they just love the idea of their games being on PC. Especially if it accelerates consoles being obsolete.
