Re: Like It or Loathe It, This Is Why Sony Won't Stop Trying to Make Live Service Games for PS5

EquiinoxGII

I think like anything, most of the games that have become successful, really wasn't trying to become what they have, sure they wanted success, but I doubt they ever dreamt it would be this popular for them. Sony are constantly chasing it, not leading it. So they will always be behind. They'll be a new invention of game and that will become the next thing, but I doubt it will be someone chasing the pack.

Re: Poll: Are You Planning to Buy Bungie's Marathon?

Not a fan of live service personally. I'm sure they will have some kind of success though due to being Bungie and do have some cred in FPS games. Like anything, there is always an audience for a game, it's just wether it can stick in that crowded market.

Re: Marvel Rivals' First-Month Revenue Shows Sony Should Continue to Pursue Live Service on PS5, PC

EquiinoxGII

The reality is, this is Marvel based. Has a huggggee following already, comparing this with something Sony might release is rather pointless. They'll make a live service game around something that most people wouldn't have a clue about/ it could be a new IP. Marvel has a following of people who aren't gamers, so those fans might shift to the game to just play as all their favourites.

So no, this doesn't mean Sony should continue, maybe they should look at how many have actually been successful.

Re: UK Retailers Are All Discounting the PS5 Pro Already

@rjejr yeah Argos is your typical, order and collect service, everything behind in a storeroom. John Lewis is too expensive and very high end. Think of expensive brands from clothes, house goods e.c.t. so people probably won't mention then unless then have cash to burn. Haha

Re: UK Retailers Are All Discounting the PS5 Pro Already

@rjejr John Lewis are actually very well known for their 7 year electronic guarantees, huge electrical section. EE not so much, but have become very well known due to their add on stance. Buy a phone and add a PS5 for £20pm extra.

So while it's a point, I'd probably not use it with these two. Maybe Very or Argos..

Re: 25 Years Ago, Square Released the Best Final Fantasy Game

EquiinoxGII

always a controversial topic.. I think most people will decide based on the game they played first and what generated the most memories for them. I loved the batch of games they released in the 90's, FF7 being my first and will also be my favourite due to those memories, but FF8 is defiantly up there for me, it's completely underrated and probably ahead of it's time back then - most got lost with the story, but if that was released now, it might prove to be more popular. the biggest selling point of FF8 is the music though, such a great score.

Re: Sony Flop Concord Axed Two Weeks After PS5, PC Release

EquiinoxGII

Honestly, the only people suffering here are the developers, they all probably knew if would be a difficult sell to the public (considering previous games) it's a very hit or miss style of game in which very few actually become huge hits. Those Devs will most likely be out of a job now due to the big wigs probably forcing them to make it. Just another Rocksteady situation.

When will these VP's learn that no one wants more of these games.

A remake of something would have had more success, and that says alot

Re: Things Are Getting Worse for Floundering PS5, PC FPS Concord

EquiinoxGII

Too many hero shooters going on. They would have 100% had a better chance if they decided to use this game, but add a small campaign along with it - i.e Titanfall 2, the first was just MP, but they expanded it and it had more substance. Surely by now, these companies have realised that the majority do not want Gaas...

Re: These Are All the Games from the Xbox Showcase Confirmed for PS5

EquiinoxGII

I couldn't care less for console superiority and all that rubbish, I still doubt Xbox would be in a better place than playstation just because of these exclusives.. but.. this showcase was miles better than what we have for the playstation, and at least they have some idea of whats coming up over the next few years. Unfortunately (apart from a few games) I have no idea where we are heading currently.. Sony should have done a little better for it's fans for sure, but I suppose with dominance they don't feel the need to.

Re: Rumour: LEGO Horizon Adventures Is a PS5, PC Game from Day One, Reveal at Summer Game Fest Tomorrow

EquiinoxGII

I do get why it would work with Lego, the whole "remove objects part" but usually this works well with franchises that the game is based on (movie e.c.t) we already have a better more realistic Horizon, so I'm not sure who their target audience is for this one.. if it was made available across the board, switch, xbox e.c.t with cross play, it could work really well and gather a new audience, but closing it to just PS5 and PC just doesnt make sense to me.

Re: Preview: Gran Turismo Meets NFS in Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown

EquiinoxGII

Absolutely loved unlimited. Fond memories of flying around Hawaii with my friends. I know people talk about Horizon and this cloning it, but ironically Horizon released after unlimited and took alot of elements from it, having a huge budget and existing fanbase just helped propel that even more. Fingers crossed for this one.
