Is stick drift really that common of an issue? I’ve never had one of my dualsense controllers be impacted by it. In fact I’ve only had one ever break on me at all, and it was when the D-Pad stopped working.
Why couldn’t they have spun it off with a smaller team to keep it going instead of naughty dog proper working on it? Or just release it as old school multiplayer game, not a GAAS, and charge like $20-$40 for it? This was the one multiplayer project I was looking forward too from Sony
I’ve been gaming since PS2 where I’ve had to buy my own console (I was a kid a when I got snes and PS1/N64 as Christmas gifts) and this is the only time the cheapest time to get a console was when it launched. Insanity. You’re better off buying a console if you want one immediately.
@spikes91 I like both games. I just had more fun playing RE8. RE7 revitalized the franchise, but I found it a bit dull in parts. Non existent enemy variety and the fact that the game loses some of its charm when it leaves the awesome setting of the Bakers home.
The RE2 & RE4 remakes are superior to both RE7 & RE8. But they’re all good/great games
I thought the trailer looked fun, a lot better than the reveal trailer. Is it free to play? If it is I’d definitely check it out. If it’s not, my interest is there, will wait to see more
The game looks great. But if CyberPunk taught me anything, I’m gonna wait to see how it runs on a PS5 til I make my purchase. I have a PS5 Pro so I’m a little less worried, but I’m definitely not gonna preorder. Hopefully it runs well on PS5 cause not gonna lie I am excited.
When they made that announcement I thought it was because they were gonna do a collage of past cover athletes to celebrate the games 20th anniversary. That would have been cooler.
I wouldn’t say “happy”, but with the perks I’d continue to pay. I do feel I get great value for what I pay.
If they rolled out just access to online multiplayer for free, I think that’d be great. But honestly I’d still subscribe for PS+ for the cloud saving and “free” monthly games even just online for free was an option.
I own the original on PS1 and had the War of the Lions for PSP. Definitely picking this up. But did they ever say why they aren’t including the War of the Lions content? Just curious
Is there a new trophy list? And will transferring a save pop the trophies? And is the frozen Wilds DLC included?
If it’s a new list and the trophies don’t auto-pop, I’d spend the $10 to upgrade and re-platinum it, especially since I never got around to the DLC. If not though I won’t bother.
Ghost of Yotei, Blood Omen, and Dino Crisis alone made it very good for me. And the Horizon remaster being a $10 upgrade for existing owners was smart. I may get it now
I don’t get the hate. Yeah $700 is too expensive for a lot of people, including me. And I wanted one. But I’m just not going to get it. I already have a PS5.
If this was the ONLY console available (they decided to discontinue the PS5) then I understand. But it’s a premium product. Just don’t buy it, there is a cheaper option that has been available and still will be.
@bindiana you can download them in the APP store (Netflix games all fall under Netflix Inc. publisher, even the GTA games), or in the Netflix APP itself. They work as any other APP on your phone once you download them, just need to use your Netflix Login when you first launch the app.
I recently got a backbone and downloaded the GTA games. Run well and great with a controller. Touch controls are a mess. But I think the smaller maps and shorter mission structure on the PS2 era GTA games fit nicely for mobile gaming.
I’m so torn about this. I LOVED the multiplayer in the last of us, so I was really really looking forward to this game, in fact the only live service game I was excited about.
On the other hand, if it was between that and them continuing to make great single player story driven games, I’m glad they canceled it.
Yes. And ONLY on ps4/xbox One. Since They never made a GTA for ps4/xbox one, they’ll want to rerelease it in a year or two for ps5/xbox s/x to double dip. And then again for ps6/ Xbox whatever
8/10. Story was great and I prefer that it was more streamlined and a little less bloated. But, honestly after Spider-Man 1, and miles morales, the gameplay while good (and traversal amazing), started to grow a little stale to me, and bore me a little bit.
Still a great game, just hoping Wolverine has some different gameplay (especially since he’s my favorite superhero) and insomniac takes a break after that and does a different game. A New non licensed IP would be great
I had one major glitch/bug fest fighting at Coney Island. I basically got stuck in a loop being punched between bad guys not able to anything, no punches, special moves, gadgets ect. I wasn’t even losing health. Was about to reset the game when the game just randomly broke out of the loop.
It was a very good show, but I prefer the game myself. I feel they didn’t focus on Joel and Ellie quite enough, I didn’t quite believe their bond by the end, not like in the game. I mean the last episode itself felt rushed.
Overall a good show and my wife loved it, and actually now wants to watch me play the game so good excuse to replay it haha. I give it a B+
@get2sammyb that is true. But I think that also had to do with how poorly the Wii U controller was received, and honestly how the games were hamstrung to use it. Making any 3rd party developers abandon the Wii U completely and even a lot of Nintendo’s 1st party offerings feel off.
He’s correct that I’d never sell my ps5 for a Xbox, but if Xbox had some amazing first party games? Would I buy an Xbox in addition? Probably. And a bet a decent amount of hardcore gamers would too. I own a switch Just for those nintendo games. If Xbox had a similar game catalog I’d consider dipping my toes in. But as it stands there is zero reason for me to have an Xbox, other than gamepass but I have no desire to have a subscription based gaming catalog
“Great games aren’t everything” yeah ok. Tell that to Switch owners (myself included). I’m sure they bought a Switch because they like having a vastly inferior machine and the worst online functionality. Not for Mario’s or Zelda or anything 🙄
Fantastic story, though I prefer TLOU personally. But if the show proved anything it’s that RDR2 definitely should NOT be adapted into a movie. A show like TLOU? On HBO? Yes. But even the TLOU show, while very good, lost some of that emotional resonance I felt for Joel and Ellie, because you lost a lot of the interactions with them you got during gameplay. And they adapted a 10-15 hr game to 9 roughly 1 hr episodes
Now imagine adapting a 50+ hr game to a 2-3 hr movie. Hard pass.
I want them to release Breath of Fire III on PS classics so badly. It’s my 3rd favorite RPG, behind Final Fantasy 6 & 7. Heck I still have the strategy guide. Such a shame can’t play it on modern hardware currently.
My wife plays Fifa, I don’t. But she doesn’t mess with ultimate team. However I play Madden and mostly play ultimate team. And honestly I have never spent money on packs. If you play a decent amount, you get pretty good rewards and currency to by packs and spend in game currency on auctions. I dunno, seems frivolous to me. You choose to spend that money. Oh well
