Re: Vampire FPS Redfall Was in Development for PS5, But Was Canned After Xbox Buyout

@Jaz007 The Psvr aspect is what saddens me the most about Bethesda as they were quite a prolific Vr developer.
Also a big fan and supporter of Arkane and have played all their games in the PS3 and on generations (platted them all).

Oh well there are more games than ever these days and my backlog is massive so I won't be losing too much sleep, except for those Vr titles. Imagine Starfield in Vr, assuming they could get the fps high enough. 🤔
As for Activision, $69b and Xbox gamers won't be getting any more titles than they wouldn't have gotten anyway. If I was on team green that would really grind my gears. 😂

Re: The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners - Chapter 2: Retribution (PSVR2) - Great Game, Sinful Name

Nice review and I'm hearing good things about how well the psvr2 runs compared to high end PCs, bodes well for PSVR2 going forward. (Assumption, one swallow doesn't make a summer and all that).

@StylesT I would suggest getting the bundle (£17 more or a £10ish upgrade if you have PS+ version, free if you have tourist edition) and play the first one. Nb. I've yet to play SandS 2 but the story continues.

Re: These 9 PS5, PS4 Games Are Leaving PS Plus in March

@gaia093 I recently completed Ghost of a tale and it wasn't too bad, there are a few missables but just read a guide and it won't be an issue. However you do need to avoid being hit or seen but once you get a certain item the seen aspect goes mostly out of the window. I recommend the game, if that means anything. 😂

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 467

I'm playing Outriders on PS++, it is surprisingly good.

@dschons A Resistance trilogy on PSVR2 (& flat) would be great. Imagine ducking from the land mines, or popping behind a shield and the awesomeness of the X-ray gun. So good and I can't believe they haven't done it as it would surely sell well, I do wonder at Sony sometimes.
Also do Killzone and Motorstorm while they are at it.

Re: PSVR2 Version Confirmed for Lemmings-Like Puzzler Tin Hearts

@riceNpea Well I waited for re8 and I love the resident evil series but after playing re7 (first playthrough) I just knew I had to wait.
Gt7 is something I would play in Vr but I'm a bit meh about it flat but tbh that goes for all racing games flat after playing Vr wipeout and dirt rally. (Sony give us Motorstorm trilogy vr).
So yeah I am definitely someone who waits even if they would play the game flat but them again I am odd so perhaps it is a rarity.

Re: PSVR2 Version Confirmed for Lemmings-Like Puzzler Tin Hearts

Nice especially as I liked the look of the flat version.
You have to wonder what VR does to day one sales as I'm delaying purchase of Gt7, Re8, re4 and now Tin hearts until I get a headset. This also applies to some "mmm I can see Vr happening" titles like Atomic hearts for example (and gt7,re8 in the past as those were obvious Vr titles).
But I guess Vr is so niche at the moment that it probably doesn't factor into the sales figures.

Re: Xbox on Charm Offensive to Push $69 Billion Activision Acquisition Through

CaptD

Gotta love the pie chart that they have brought out on stage, "wah wah look how pathetic we are, you just gotta give us Activision". Not to mention the lame Union tweet and Nintendo deal, talk about dragging out the desperate measures to the 11th hour.

However I'm Quite surprised Value is behind the deal though because Shirley they would lose a big chunk of change if CoD and Diablo went into PC GP.

Re: Massive Gran Turismo 7 PSVR2 Patch Available Now

CaptD

@NEStalgia When I finally give in and purchase Psvr2 then I will certainly give gyro a go, a wheel is just too much of an investment plus the amount of room is requires is just too much of a headache for me.
I seem to do fine with the controller, even managed to platinum Dirt Rally, only in VR though as I don't seem to be very good when playing flat and that goes double for Wipeout, despite playing the game since the ps1 days it was only in VR that I managed to be any good at it.

Re: Saints Row Sales Flop Forces Parent Company to Change Its Policy on New Games

CaptD

Never been overly impressed with any of the saints row with the most recent one impressing the least.
IMO only one GTA clone has eclipsed GTA and that is Sleeping Dogs. I'm surprised in this era of failed IPs that they don't just give us what we want and that is to play Sleeping Dogs 2 whilst eating a pork bun. PS would like a new story not a remake.

Re: PSVR to PSVR2: All Games with Free Upgrades

CaptD

Quite surprised there aren't more as there are some great games on PSVR1 which could be sold to new psvr2 users.
Time will tell I guess but I'm going to miss Dirt Rally, Wipeout, Farpoint and Rush of Blood.

@neonpizza I can't answer your question as I haven't used the new headset but the recent Dev interview on Digital foundry has one of the Devs mentioning how their game is pitch black in places. Worth a watch as it is quite insightful. 🙄

Re: Microsoft Admits Xbox Game Pass Is Harming Software Sales After All

CaptD

Wow this has really rocked me, rocked me to the core, I don't know whether I will ever be able to believe a corporate suit again, my whole belief system have been shaken.

@get2sammyb I can well believe that DLC sales increase, I know I sometimes buy them for ps+ and they sometimes go on sale after the PS+ annoucement. From that you could say "sales increase" and technically you aren't telling porkies.
