Unfortunately this is becoming the norm, the constant demand for more from consumers is a joke. So yes its going too take years to develop these ***** games. Most are obsessed with openworld, 60fps, no wonder devs are Constantly under pressure. I can practically guarantee when this game does release it will still be bug ridden.
@invictus4000 yes unfortunately I spent £530 on this damn thing. And basically Sony couldn't give a ***** !! Let's just say i wont be buying into VR again, especially from Sony. The annoying part is the techs brilliant, let down by mostly mediocre crap. Luckily I sold it on.
I bought one at launch, unfortunately the lag, frame drops, resolution drops, made it unplayable so I sold it on. Its a shame because its a lovely bit of kit.
Unfortunately the industry & consumer demand has ***** up the industry. No dev wants to make anything that wont make em millions. AAA stuff is always the same cut & paste open world, roguelike, soulslike crap. Gamers are never satisfied anymore, the constant obsession with resolutions, frame rates is a joke. The indie scene is more interesting nowadays with less constraints. Im reading at the moment possible rumours of Deadspace 4, with the EA takeover. I doubt it will happen though because its all about money, not the gamers.
@invictus4000 unfortunately as much as I agree with you. Its the VR2 which is dead, obviously Sony didn't have enough faith in the headset either. Even though they ripped consumers off with the ridiculous price. Unfortunately I was one of em
Absolutely love Astrobot. Its up there with Mario. The PSVR1 game is incredible, I made the mistake of buying VR2 at launch hoping for Astrobot, then Sony practically kicked me in the nuts & made it flat. Don't get me wrong its still a fantastic game. But early adopters of the headset should of had this as a flagship title. Unfortunately I sold the VR2 on, Sony obviously dont care about the device. But more Astrobot will be welcome for sure.
PS5 has been a slow burner, what with covid messing things up. So it wasn't a great start, also games are taking longer to produce. PS5 hasn't really been pushed. For me personally PS5 pro is a kick in the teeth, now PS6 is already on the cards. Considering the PS5 had such a crap start, the next gen should be held back.
As usual the campaign seems like an after thought. When will devs realise not everyone wants to play online. Maybe I'll pick it up when its in CEX for next to nothing.
How many times have we seen these target renders on every generation. Unreal 5 on PS5 reveal, that tomb raider style demo. Im still waiting to see something that good.
No we need more original games, or bring back some amazing games from previous generations. Unfortunately some are obsessed with tech. Thats why its getting more expensive for hardware & software. Let's enjoy. The consoles we have
Amazing game, always will be, still better than most of the ***** today. No ***** open world, crafting weapons. Just an amazing LINEAR experience from start to finish. The PS3/ 360 era was fantastic for these 3rd person shooters. Unfortunately the LINEAR experience is frowned upon today. Not every gamer wants to spend 40+ Hours on some padded out game.
Facial animation doesn't look good, seen alot better on PS4. Gameplay looks clunky as well. Will wait for reviews, certainly not convinced this will be any good. But you never know might be surprised.
@PuppetMaster to be honest I won't waste my time emailing Sony begging them to make the games I like. The point was Astrobot has been successful, yet I doubt Sony will get the message that there is a demand for the more traditional titles. Like I said I'm grateful for the indie scene thst seem to cater for the older retro gamers.
@Max_the_German yes couldn't agree more, funny thing is Astrobot has been really successful but I doubt Sony will take note. That's why I'm thankful for the indie scene.
I rest my case, without the trackball its nothing special, marble madness being another example. I had some know it all on Facebook trying to defend this port, they probably have never played the original arcade cab.
PS5 still hasn't shown its true potential in my opinion. Will PS6 be that much better anyway. Personally tech has hit a ceiling, things just look a little bit shinier with improved frame rates. Nothing seems that new or exciting anymore. VR seemed fresh, but Sony obviously couldn't give a ***** sbout that either.
@Bobobiwan couldn't agree more, all the great games from VR1 should of made it to VR 2. What a waste of tech in my opinion, but I certainly won't be buying into VR again especially from Sony!!
I sold mine on months ago, what a waste of money £530 !! Never again will I buy into VR especially from Sony. They have practically left it to die. PSVR1 had better games. The nail in the coffin for me was no Astrobot, even a remaster of rescue mission would of been helpful. But when the new game was launched with no VR support, it was a kick in the teeth. The tech is great just not enough diversity in the games. And yes I've played all the games some rave on about, but they dont justify the price tag. That's why I sold it on, lost money in the process. But by next year it will be dirt cheap with suppliers wanting to get rid.
What a F**king rip off, so we are being charged full wack for a physical copy. When the full game isn't bloody on there. Fairplay the industry is getting worse by the year. My days of buying so called physical games are coming to an end.
Yep he's right, instead of catering for the graphics whores. Let's make new exciting games that don't rely on visuals all the time. When visuals have hit a ceiling anyway.
