Re: Sony Introduces Game Trials, Try PS5 Games for a Limited Time

Floki

@Integrity As someone with slow download speeds. Not once has that download as you play been reliable... Most of the time getting to the required % of download takes 3+ hrs. Alot of game will only allow for you start the game and get to the title screen, but won't allow you to go any further until another huge chuck of download has been completed.

The few games that actual allow you to play while it downloads only get you access to like chapter 1, prologue, or 20 minutes of gameplay after I sat for 3+ hrs waiting.

Re: Feature: 12 PS5 Firmware Updates We Want to See

@NEStalgia It called future proofing. Not future proofing is what lead us to getting the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. It why both the Series X and PS5 support 8k, but there is barely any 8k content.

Consoles are supposed to last 8-10 years. Sure not many TV support it right now, but it will be standard on TVs in the future

Also, not everyone plays their console using a TV. A lot of people play on monitors, and VRR is basically standard now in the monitor space.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Lost Judgment the Latest Game to Sell Best on PS5

Xbox games aren't gonna sale well in terms of both the physical and digital front compared to Playstation. Everyone keeps bring up gamepass, but forgets that Microsoft also are just give Xbox versions of games away if you buy a PC copy, so if you own a PC and Xbox. You only have to buy 1 copy for both platforms, no double dipping. I'm pretty sure these free copies aren't counted in these sales charts.

Re: Hands On: Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Is Mass Effect in Comic Book Clothing

Floki

@Bleachedsmiles I don't really think Spider-Man would be a good comparison to this. Characters like Spider-Man has had so many mainstream appearances over the years from TV, to video games, to action figures... etc. No one, unless your only knowledge of Spider-Man is Tom Holland. Is going play Spider-Man, and wish it looked like Tom Holland.

It much harder to look at characters like Guardians of Galaxy and not go "Hmm... I wish these was MCU versions". Since character had no mainstream appearance since the movie. Only avid comic books fans know about Guardians of Galaxy cause even the comic books sale pale in comparison to Spider-Man.

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Is Massive, According to Venom Voice Actor

@WolfyTn You basically answered your own question, and you can't really be the "friendly neighborhood Spider-Man" if you going to California or London.

Spider-Man have never been the globe trotting hero. That what the x-men, Avengers, fantastic 4... etc are for.

I can only see them adding Queens and Brooklyn cause both these borough are where Peter and Miles are from originally.

Re: Marvel's Wolverine, Spider-Man 2 Are PS5 Exclusives

Floki

@Korgon Yeah... Marvel's Spider-Man sold well over like 20 million copies since 2018. Miles Morales sold like what... 4.1 Million in 3 days. It took Marvel's Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order 6 month to reach 1 million.

Wolverine will probably out sell both Marvel's Midnight Suns and Guardians of the Galaxy combined

Re: Marvel's Wolverine, Spider-Man 2 Are PS5 Exclusives

@Korgon It probably wasn't hard to negotiate another Marvel property only on Playstation. Disney really only cares about money. The conversation probably went like:

Sony: "You like money, we like money, and Insomniac's games make money. Give us IP"

Disney: looks at the other recent failed attempt at licensed games from other developers "You got a point." hands over Wolverine "Go make us money"

Re: PS5 Game Compression Shrinks Tales of Arise by 20GB

Floki

@Flaming_Kaiser Like I said, if Sony/Microsoft kept the base $500, and focused solely on marketing that as the main option. While offering higher storage options as secondary option.

There would be no bad press since there is the option for people who don't want to spend crazy money.

If you want to talk about bad press. The current way Sony handled things created nothing but bad press with their SSD being smaller than Microsoft with no way to expand it. Due to them locking the expansion drive for almost a year. To only find out that an extremely slower drive than what Sony recommends works just as fine, and that we could have added more storage since launch.

But clearly the bad press from that isn't nearly as bad as if they created a $800 or $1000 PS5 SKUs with higher storage while still offering the $400 and $500 SKUs.

Re: PS5 Game Compression Shrinks Tales of Arise by 20GB

Floki

@Flaming_Kaiser It wouldn't have been accepted of it was the only model. They could have easily launched a "base" 824 GB PS5 and 1TB Xbox Series X. While offering a high storage model for people who has the money, and willing to spend.

Phones do this, cars do this, computers do this... Consoles also did this during the Xbox 360/PS3 era with the Xbox 360 "Core/Arcade" and Xbox 360 Pro and the PS3 20GB and 60GB models.

Re: Rumour: Uncharted PC Collection Is Probably Real, But Leaked Image Looks Fake

Floki

@Sanquine I've been feeling the same way. My main issue is the increase in game prices, and the unwillingness to give proper next gen patches without charging us cough GoT: Director's Cut cough

Sure 60FPS is nice... But when you still have a PC version of the games that improved much more, and still offer 60FPS. That kinda lazy... I would expect a basic 60FPS patch from EA or Activision.

Sony should have announced a proper next gen patch for HZD when they announcement of the delay of HFW
