@Elodin I don't have one yet but intend on grabbing one when Dreams release. Having used Minecraft VR regularly for quite some time using my mobile phone with Riftcat (an app that allows you to use your phone as a Vive) which have extremely strong lag, blur and poor fps, I find that I have overcome VR motion sickness. At first it was really bad, could only play for about 5 minutes before I begin feeling very uncomfortable, But now I can go long hours after regular use. So it's something you can train yourself to get used to.
Great work by Sean Murray and team. Personally I really enjoy the game, and this new update will further occupy me for long time to come. With that said I think the graphics do look a bit dated, especially after trying out Sea of Thieves. Am hoping at some point there'd be some huge graphical overhaul, even if it means releasing a sequel.
@Dange Haha same here NMS along with Bloodborne are probably the only two games that has never left my HD since launch day. I pop back in once in a long while to check out the new updates. There is so much potential to the game.
Sony really needs to do something for the PlayStation to capture their home market. It spells trouble for them if Nintendo continues to dominate the scene.
We need a PS4 exclusive AA/AAA quality game already for Fate Grand Order. Please Sony! Don't just focus on Western AAA exclusives. Maximise your home base and Asia cultural influence to develop and publish more high quality exclusive Japanese games! It is one huge advantageous differentiator you have over the American Xbox, and it will give you a fighting chance in handheld over Nintendo in the near future.
What Sony should be doing really is allow for Cross Play in America, but ban cross play from happening anywhere else in the world if possible. The biggest disadvantage for Sony allowing cross play is enabling Xbox to tap into audiences where they barely exist (Asia, Middle East, Europe etc...). Hence they should double down on making reputable first party franchise and IPs like Nintendo, and open up cross play in US only to make them seem less like the bad guy.
Here's how: Up the value of PS Plus. Announcement of Bundling of PS Now with PS Plus to prepare for the future of game streaming to not give MS any leading advantage whatsoever. Bring PS Now to Android and IOS. Bloodborne 2. Announcement Date for Dreams and show off it's mind blowing capabilities. Michel Ancel showing up on stage after Hideo Kojima (Death Stranding) to update and reignite WiLD. More new exclusive IPs and content.
This should warrant further victory for Playstation as a brand. MS recently have purchased quite a few studios known to be working on quite a few big budget games, and they'll be focusing on original IPs moving forward with Game Pass and Azure game streaming. The goal is be a step ahead of MS, continue to maintain and expand on the current market share over competitors further solidifying the Playstation Ecosystem.
What MM have created here is truly groundbreaking. This is not just any voxel based engine, it's their own unique engine they single handedly invented and made from ground up. We have not seen anything like it, never. Alex Evan and his team are geniuses. Reading through all their published papers on the way they came up with the idea you really come to appreciate how amazing and tight knit Media Molecule is as a studio. All of this wouldn't have been possible without 100% trust amongst the studio members and support from a fantastic publisher. Mark my words, Dreams Engine will not be limited to casual gaming use, it will become a fully professional game engine in the near future used by other gaming studios.
@meltendo Thanks for bringing this up. I believe this will happen. I'm a regular on Reddit and there are already many people with ideas want to create Azeroth, Mario etc etc... There's no doubt some contents will be removed due to copy right. However people will most probably find ways around it
@smelly_jr Do It's good to use Dreams while you learn those programs. Unity and Unreal engines are very difficult, even if you know how to use it it takes a great amount of time to make a polished quality game. For comparison if you want to make a same game you created in Dreams with Unity you'll probably take 500x longer.
Glad it is doing well. Most people are probably waiting for a price drop before purchasing this, so I imagine the total sales in the end will become quite high.
I've been playing it a little bit of the PC. Personally I find it to be a disappointment compared to the first, but it's still fun nonetheless playing it with my little nephews.
No over price memory card nonsense. No missing buttons (R2 L2 R3 L3). Improve the ergonomics somehow. Improve upon the Vita OS. Get rid of the camera and rear touch screen but keep the front one. QHD-4K screen like the phone with HDR supporting Dolby audio. Release a cheaper VR headset which can slot in the new portable console.
@adf86 Yea it was a huge mistake on their part, not to mention they released it on a horrific almost unplayable state as well. Personally I think PUBG despite still being hugely popular is going to die a slow death.
I think they did a very smart job releasing this game. They took out a lot of things from the PC version and made it run pretty smoothly on the console (though there are still glitches). Hopefully the game can maintain the momentum and garner enough support, because I'm sure the developers will look to add features of PC back into console version slowly, and improve that draw distance (fog) most people are complaining about.
@Neolit Lol yea I get what you mean, it took me a while to beat her. One mistake and you're basically dead. I'm not sure if different difficulty makes a difference, but her health pool was ridiculous on God of War experience.
Star Ocean 5 was complete utter rubbish. Still I wouldn't want the franchise to die, I for one am willing to wait longer so they know which direction to take it.
Lol damn I knew there was something off when I heard Yoshimitsu in Soul Calibur, then I remembered he was a Tekken character. It really has been quite some time since I've played both of these series.
Hopefully in the release version the zombies take more than one bullet to kill, they all seem too easy to kill and it reminds me of Dynasty Warrior hordes. Would also be nice to have more physical varieties of zombies where some might be losing an arm, leg shorter, fatter etc... I guess the downside to this horde mechanic is that the zombies are quite dumbed down in terms of physics and interaction. But there's still plenty of time before release so am eagerly waiting.
A pretty risky move, but besides the BR hype, I would imagine Activision probably have some statistics of their own where they know this will be more of a profitable move than including a single player campaign.
"Of Tsushima" is probably only for the first one only. GHOST is most likely the real name of the game. The sequels might have a different setting, like Ghost of London lol.
Well there's still a bit of time left before release. I can't imagine it being too hard to implement? Just lowering the HP of the zombies might do the job already, though from what's shown here they already look to be killed in one shot.
@YummyHappyPills Haha what would make it even more hilarious if Xbox did that and Playstation announces further exclusive titles to it's platform. Super looking forward to this game
Can't bloody wait. I dunno when it started but my PS4 have became one of my best electronic purchases in the last few years. I bought one on day one and for a few years I remember regretting buying one due to the lack of games.
This game is going to be very mediocre. It's very obvious Bloodborne inspired. I can foresee a quick price drop on Steam, so I'll probably pick it up on PC at some point.
Such a damn satisfying game especially if you've played the previous trilogy before. There were moments where I screamed like a Fanboy while playing and I've never done that haha
I'm a little surprised. I thought the game would look better considering it's from Rockstars, who obviously have been raking it in like crazy with GTA V. I really liked the first one so I'll still buy it for the story but hopefully this won't be a disappointment. And pray to God there won't be microtransactions -__-
