Re: The PS5 Appears to Be Extremely Conscious of Spoilers

Gilvin

@LiamCroft @RBMango to me is a given it's coming back, the worse was Ratchet and Clank since it blocked the movie scenes (for I guess obvious reasons).
But imagine TLoU 2 or other games with big spoilers in their main story, I do believe is fine to block capturing those scenes at least for a year or some months. Not sure how it works on streaming but it does sound absurd if it blocks viewing...

Re: Bugsnax Confirmed to Be a PS5 Launch Game

Gilvin

@LiamCroft
Didn't see the price (silly) although now we can buy the games we own from PS Plus, and since we got Resogun (unless I'm mistaken) for PS4, I'm kind of expecting a game that could be fun and probably showcase some if not all of the new capabilities of the console
@thefourfoldroot I do agree with that rationale, but there's the Resogun example. Most likely scenario we get nothing from PS Plus for the PS5 until January, after all we'll get 20 PS4 classics to play

Re: Talking Point: Are You Worried About the Future of Western RPGs on PS5?

Gilvin

when I think I own all of the fallout games plus skyrim and maybe have played 3 hours total combined I'll be fine. I will miss their FPS more than their WRPG
however, for the general ps5 consumer this is bad news if the titles become xbox exclusive (do wonder if they'll try to release on ps5 like two years later or so, they'll still have the console sales and will get more money on their software)

Re: Horizon Forbidden West Built from the 'Ground Up' for PS5

Gilvin

@get2sammyb my guess is like Spider-Man it was meant to be a launch title (and it may still be coming on Q1 2021) so they made a lesser version for PS4, mostly with the same engine and tech as HZD, in other words just a huge expansion.
The PS5 version will have all the bells and whistles technology wise. I don’t necessarily like the way it’s being communicated but is what I hope they’re trying to say.
The PS5 version is the real game, the PS4 version is just a huge DLC

Re: Fans Believe God of War 2 Could Be Part of PS5 Showcase Event

Gilvin

I think is a 0,01% chance, but I'll bet on those odds... it was released before Spider-Man, I believe from some interviews that the story for sequels was pretty much in place so, and as well as Spidey, the characters are already existing as some story archs, so... why not?
If they can put something like God of War on the launch windown then is pretty much game over

Re: PS5 Price May Dip Below $400, Analyst Speculates

Gilvin

considering all of the articles in here about how the money is really coming from the playstation store, etc., they might give away the console and still make it out ok.
would expect to try to sell at the same price or 50€ less than the xbox, so the rumor seems coherent to me

Re: Reaction: PS5 Price Under Scrutiny After Disruptive Xbox Series S Reveal

Gilvin

So the low end next-gen console is way less expensive that the high end current-gen console.
Tells me that either the current-gen is overpriced, the next-gen console comes with a huge catch, or MS is willing to take a massive loss with the price in order to market its console.
I have the feeling this series s thing will be something most buyers will regret in 2 years

Re: There's Been a Big Scandal About Whether PS5 Can Run Games in 4K

Gilvin

@Tatoun I hope is not true and to be fair I don’t follow the Xbox news at all. Have been a PlayStation player/owner since 1997 so, I don’t have too much to think about when it comes to my choice on the next generation of consoles. But all these rumors and non explained endorsements seems to be falling in favor of one console. One time is an accidents, three times is a trend. As a scientist most trends have an explanation (once again, lack of data could be one)

Re: Control Locks Free PS5 Upgrade Behind Ultimate Edition

Gilvin

this makes no sense without any extra content... I can see why they may want to lock the upgrade to the season pass, not the nicest thing considering that most games are giving free upgrades, but having the game, plus the season pass and still having you pay for the upgrade to ps5 is a bit of a middle finger

Re: Random: Fall Guys Player Suffers Heartbreak in Slime Climb

Gilvin

To be fair; this game feels like real life in which you'll have to make do while dealing with a lot of morons
@Loftimus as certain players are getting good at it; this kind of griefing will become an issue with the game, is sad but mankind has proven again and again that you cannot have anything nice online without a report button

Re: Reaction: Sony Wants PS5 to Be the Best Place to Play, And It'll Open Its Wallet to Achieve It

Gilvin

to me is a perfectly acceptable business model, each company needs to try to sell their brand and are free to do it their way.
I don't truly like when an established franchise goes exclusive or timed exclusive, but is to each developer to decide the risk to take, FF7 seems to have done ok, on the other hand Tomb Raider hurt it's brand quite well and if this continues it'll happen often. Is a gamble for game makers and Sony or MS too

Re: Watch Dogs Legion Screenshots Leak Ahead of Media Previews

Gilvin

@ApostateMage I'm assuming you the player are the protagonist and there'll be some kind of story that will force you to use people all over the map to fulfill missions, almost like changing armors or weapons on an RPG according to the mission.
It'll be an interesting game to follow up on for sure; it'll be either groundbreaking or a cautionary tale, one way or another is an admirable risk

Re: PS Plus July 2020 PS4 Games Announced

Gilvin

funny thing about people complaining that it is an awful month because they have this game or the other... if you bought the game already it means they're giving away a title that you already considered good.

Re: Marvel's Avengers Looks Bland in Single Player, Better in Co-Op

Gilvin

@H4ilHydra that will be interesting to watch. To me this game looks uninteresting; so if there's a similar game from Rocksteady about the Suicide Squad both games will be forever linked.
Also; most likely scenario is that sales will be influenced by the license; so even if the SQ game is better sales may not be.

Re: Sony Insists Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales PS5 Reveal Was Not Misleading

Gilvin

@Facelord our first news yes; but I'm not sure we saw "footage"; maybe because I didn't care about it too much but I think it was stated that it was PS4, althought technically I cannot disagree with you.
I have never been a fan of any "replacement" heroes; Batman is Bruce Wayne; Spider-Man is Peter Parker; etc: I think Miles was introduced nicely on the first game; is clear that he's happening for the next game and in my opinion he was not dislikeable

Re: Sony Insists Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales PS5 Reveal Was Not Misleading

Gilvin

“I can safely say that we would not effectively lead the next-gen portion of the show with something that was either trivial or misleading.”, exactly; as odd as communications about the ps5 has been the idea of our first glimpse at the games is just DLC for an existing game is absurd.
On the other hand; Sony should be worried that for a while we all believed it, it speaks volumes on how they have been communicating
