Re: My First Gran Turismo Available This Friday for Free on PS5, PS4

DanteDevilHunter

I am not really interested in trying this now as I am buying the full game while it's on sale for £34.99 half price. I am glad I didn't buy it launch because it takes advantage of my PS5 Pro and a lot more has been added to the game. They should have done this sooner in my opinion. Also the always online doesn't put me off, if it was another publishers and developers I probably wouldn't buy it. When Polyphony makes GT8 I trust Sony and Polyphony to patch GT7 with the ability to play offline apart from multiplayer, like they've done before.

Re: PS Store Makes Launch Day Easy with Dedicated PS5 Pro Category

DanteDevilHunter

I set up my PS5 Pro and played some games on it today. The first thing you notice if you own the original PS5 launch model is how small it is in comparison. I few small changes to the PS5 Pro over the original, and I actually think the new little legs to attach to the underside of the console make the console more stable over the original stand. I am happy I picked one up.

Re: Sony's Guerrilla Sounds Completely Done with the Killzone Series

DanteDevilHunter

I really like Killzone because at the time it wasn't Call of Duty it had a more weighty movement system for example. The irony is this is why a lot of people didn't like Killzone at the time because it didn't feel like COD in it's movement system that was one of it's main criticisms. Even Gears of War changed their control scheme to resemble COD with Judgement because of the success of COD. The colour palette was also a trend of the time a choice by the teams making those games.

Re: In the UK, PS5 Pro Has Already Completely Sold Out

DanteDevilHunter

I have a big catalogue of PS4/PS5 games so when I saw the games which are getting upgraded on the PS5 PRO I am just going to wait and play them on the PS5 PRO. FF7 Rebirth is a huge big difference,. They restock again before launch and have stock at launch and especially around Xmas time.

Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard's In-Depth Difficulty Settings Even Have a No Death Option

DanteDevilHunter

"there's an option to turn off death"

What is the point in having combat Isn't it just a waste time at that point? I understand difficulty options, obviously not all games need them. But I don't not understand an option to turn off death as it makes certain parts of your game pointless and ultimately a waste of time. Are people really suggesting they are either that stupid or lazy they cannot learn basic combat in a game? And what is the point in buying a game with certain mechanics in it? It's a weird one.

Re: Video: Is Concord Destined to Fail?

DanteDevilHunter

I don't think you can compare Helldivers 2 to Concord. Helldivers 2 was always going to do well because it had a fan base on PlayStation & PC as it turns out Helldivers 2 did really well. Concord on the hand is another Hero shooter that does nothing to stand out and unlike the rest of the Hero shooters it isn't free. Personally I don't see this game doing well.

Re: Key Sony Exec Gives Eye-Opening Quotes on the Future of PlayStation and Gaming

DanteDevilHunter

Story advancements have come a long way. So to focus on story advancements over other aspects of a game is questionable. It seems like Western video games are ironically becoming less "game" Hellblade 2 is an excellent example of this. Instead of building on top of the gameplay element's of Hellblade 1 it totally strip's back the gameplay element's. Hellblade 2 suceeds at being a visual showcase but totally misses the point about being a video game.

Re: Soapbox: Once a PS4 Console Exclusive, PS5 Players Are Missing a Visual Stunner in Hellblade 2

DanteDevilHunter

There is a reason it has good graphics because there is nothing going on under the hood & it's a very linear game with very little combat (gameplay). It's basically a tech demo. I seen some people compare it to The Order 1886, The Order 1886 is an actual game. Instead of building upon Hellblade they've stripped it back and focus on graphics. Graphics in a game can get you so far, a game still has to have a good story & most importantly gameplay. I haven't even tried it yet on my XSX, I'll probably play it at some point for the achievements.

Re: Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin, More Closed in Brutal Bethesda Restructure

DanteDevilHunter

Bad move on Microsoft part Arkane Austin made Prey excellent game, Redfall wasn't a reason to shut them down one bad game. Tango Game's The Evil Within, Hi-Fi Rush excellent games also, I brought Hi-Fi Rush again on my PS5. Not played GhostWire PS5 yet but I am going to. Such sad news. But Microsoft has already had a bad reputation for management going back to the original Halo.

Re: Larian Studios' Swen Vincke Blames Mass Layoffs on Publisher Greed

DanteDevilHunter

The problem with this statement is it's only half a truth some of these devs are just as bad as they claim these publishers are, yes there are good examples. And it's scapegoating because reality is far more complex a lot less black and white reality actually contains nuance, and believe it or not they are individuals who have family to feed too it's not always just about you as you virtue signal because that's what this is. But here we are talking about an incredible privileged industry to work in, they are literally the bourgeoisie.

Re: Over Eight Million Helldivers 2 Players Recruited Since Last Month

DanteDevilHunter

@Fiendish-Beaver

"Surely a game that attracts more players is the game you want to make, yes?"

You mean this make's no sense. You cannot make a game for "everyone", it's literally impossible. Dark Souls, COD, COD Zombies is a good example of that. COD Zombies tried making a zombie game for "everyone", the game mode is no where near as good as it use to be. The only Zombies maps I'll play are the originals & chronicles maps.

Re: Story DLC and Multiple Free Updates Revealed for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

DanteDevilHunter

I just bought the Prince of Persia The Lost Crown on sale with Sword of Vagrant. If you like game's like Atlus Dragon's Crown, Sword of Vagrant is on sale for £2 odd. I cannot believe i haven't seen this game before. Definitely be getting the DLC and trying out the free updates, this will probably be added by the time I get around playing the game. I have a huge backlog that just keep growing, it's a good problem to have.

Re: Exclusivity Is the Achilles' Heel of Huge Blockbusters, Says Former PlayStation Exec

DanteDevilHunter

“We’re not doing enough to get heretofore non-console people into console gaming,”

I think there is a bit delusional to think people who don't play games and have zero interest in them will suddenly start playing games if you make different types of games. I am not saying you can't have sort term success like Wii, but they are a flash in a pan more to do with the hardware itself.

Re: Sea of Thieves Players on PS5 Will Need a Microsoft Account to Play

DanteDevilHunter

Making you jump through hoops to play a game. I downloaded one of Capcom's new games at the time on GamePass, the game where you shoot dinosaurs I am sure it's called Exoprimal. The game requires you to make an Capcom account to play it, I deleted the game. It's not the point I already have a Microsoft account, no game should require you to make an account to play a game.
