Re: Sony Patent Shows How Loading Screens Could Be Killed Off on PS5

Cycologist

Seems like this is pretty much how GTA5/RDR2 works. As long as you travel normally there aren't too many load screens, but when you start jumping around you are outside the bubble.

Didn't MS say certain computers with Win10 would eliminate the long startups. Maybe when it was new, but once you had a year's worth of updates and added apps/programs people saw it went back to waiting... waiting...

As for PS5/SSD I'll believe it when I see it.

Re: Talking Point: Is E3 Still Relevant?

While other factors may have had as much impact, opening what was once a industry trade show - where they would essentially show their stuff to a receptive audience - to the public basically turned it into a ComicCon-type experience where the public was indifferent to all but the most-hyped. Maybe they could refocus on smaller devs and indie games and leave the the big fish alone.

The easiest thing to do for yearly games is add the year at the end. Sports titles have known this and even though yearly editions are perceived as basically the same game they still sell as they're not making it more than it is.

Yearly gun-fests would do well to emulate that model instead of pretending to reinvent themselves with little to back it up.

It's not the devs responsibility to match their game to your ability. It's your responsibility to match your ability to their game. In the last two weeks I've read stories on here complaining that one game was too easy and EXPECTING a hard mode to be added, to this where people want a game to be easier cause it's too hard. Wahwahwah (wipes tears)

Bravo to Ubisoft devs standing up and saying "no, we like our game as is." Suck it up and learn the game, or if your good grind away. Or play something else.

So in three years we'll get the YT making of vid where Sony isn't impressed then they come up with something mind-blowing... oh snap, that was "God of War"

Or the disaster apocalypse expose where Sony isn't impressed then they come up with something bland and mediocre... hold up... that was "Anthem".

Pretty sure Sony's got a few years to cover it either way. And I don't think Bluepoint is interested in being a Sony-owned studio or they would have been bought by now.

Re: Dangerous Driving - As Close as You'll Get to Classic Burnout on PS4

Dear Three Fields Entertainment,
This is what happens when you have a small studio with a smaller budget and Big Game dreams. Burnout is a Big game and deserves the budget and talent afforded as such. This is an embarrassment to your history. I would love a new racing game, but I'll be passing this by.

Sincerely, a Burnout fan

PS - I'd have expected a lawsuit from EA but given their penchant for releasing crap you're probably going to be okay
