Re: Xbox Boss Admits Microsoft Can't 'Outconsole' PS5

Blackmagehobbit

For me, consoles are just machines and games are art. We are all here playing and discussing our favorite games because they are important to us; thus, we buy consoles to play these great games.
These comments are really sad comming from a leader since they cause discouragement for his team.
Also his logic is broken because Xbox does not need to win a console war; instead, the company just needs to deliver decent games to 21 miliion people that purchased their consoles in this generation.
I never had an Xbox and never will have one; however, even being a Playstation user since the PS one I feel that Sony needs a competitor to be on their toes.

Re: Soapbox: Hold On, Is the PS3 a Retro Console?

This is meaningless. Everyone will have a different perception of the term "retro". It is almost as difficult to define as "vintage" or "classic". These definitions depend on our personal experiences and connections with these systems. Thus, we are all correct.

Re: Rumour: Sony's Big PS5 Showcase to Take Place in Approximately Two Months

I think it is plausible since there will be a Xbox showcase in June 11. Now that the Activision deal is almost certain, Sony needs any movement to address the lack of information about future PS5 games. In addition, Sony needs to promote Spiderman 2 that will release this year and we know nothing about gameplay, story and art style. I'm looking forward to this event.

Re: Poll: What Game Should Capcom Remake Next?

Blackmagehobbit

We have enough RE remakes for now, I'll rather would like to have a remake of the first Breath of Fire. Capcom could return to RE remakes later. Another game that is overlooked and is really amazing for a remake is the arcade classic Black Dragon; it's perfect for an action RPG.

Re: Feature: ICO At 21 - Remembering Fumito Ueda's Seminal PS2 Classic

One of the few games that are really masterpieces. It was the inspiration to a number of games, and is one of my favorites since PS2. I never have played nothing like that and still not. Every time I see a main character protecting and sharing the screen with another, more fragile one I remember this game. The last of Us, God of war, Resident Evil 4 are just a few examples. It also inspired my favorite developer (From Software) so much. Ico is a must play for any person who likes videogames.

Re: Horizon, The Wire's Lance Reddick Has Passed Away

This is a shame. Sylens is my favorite character in Horizon, and a great part of this feeling is related the excellent voice acting. He give us that perfect feeling of a clever villain/antihero that is very hard to deliver. None could did that with Lex Luthor for instance in movies, games or animations. His performance is one of the best I ever see in a videogame. RIP.

Re: Sony Concerned Microsoft Could, Knowingly or Not, Sabotage Call of Duty on PlayStation

Blackmagehobbit

@JayJ That's exactly my point. There a number of bad scenarios for Sony, for instance:
1) If the deal is blocked Microsoft can just pay millions to put Call of Duty (and other Activision games) day one in the game pass, also with exclusive content.
2) These 69 billion can be use to purchase a number of other studios, including important ones and even talented people or smaller companies. This may also reduce the number of games coming for Playstation.
3) Activision can sign exclusivity deals with Microsoft even being a independent publisher. The worst relatioshipt that will come from this mess certainly will influence in these deals.

I don't care for Call of Duty, tried to play once but it is not my type of game. However, there are other fun IPs from Activision that unfortunately will become absent in Playstation systems. Deal being done or not.
