Main character is so annoying, they need to clean this up while they have time. The game has promise but each trailer things look a little worse and a little more stilted. That first trailer was so fluid. They obviously are not going to deliver what we saw there.
@ATaco Yeah the demo wasn't good for me either. I liked the characters okay, but the sum of its parts was less than what I hoped for. I think FFVIIRs battle system may have ruined me for action RPGs. Everything else just pales in comparison.
Better free games. I don't want PSNow bundled if it is going to raise the cost. I don't see why the current format is such a problem. You have a choice by getting the services separately. Bundling will absolutely raise the price. Choices are better than no choices people.
Understanding that this is a gaming site with more people than usual in to anime, but is this really going to move the needle with a lot of people? I just don't think this has mass market appeal. I don't know one person that watches anime. Cool for those that are in to it though.
Why is this incredible? A technical achievement? Wtf? I don't get it. People are making this sound like they coded this live on the fly. Billions of dollars and they put together a cartoon montage of a pop singer dancing to a few songs and some extremely light game elements and it's the greatest thing ever.
Go find A Decade of Sound Awake online and thank me later
@Dezzy70 We aren't going to see eye to eye on this one. Expensive proprietary plug in storage is awful and what killed the Vita. Insane to me that someone could think that's what should have been done here.
Avg Joe will just delete crap and not even think of expandable storage, it will just be what it is.
@Dezzy70 This is a bad take. More convenient upgrade solutions require proprietary elements (like the N64 slot you mentioned). The way Sony has done this is the best way. You can purchase drives from any manufacturer using a standardized format. Proprietary drives just for the convenience of not using a screwdriver is a terrible idea.
I have literally confused PS4 and PS5 versions 0 times and had my PS5 since launch. Are you guys just not reading the screens at all or what?
Sorry that Sony assumed you would actually pay attention to what you're doing. I guess it needs to be set to auto tune hip hop and overlaid with kitty cat gifs for you people to pay attention to it. And it's their oversight? Yeeeeeah
@AdamNovice Totally. I could even see this as a trial run for Haven and if they deliver, may get the chance to become a Playstation Studio that specializes in the services model.
Now that I can fully play PS5 games portably using the Kishi/PSPlay app, I think I want Sony to focus on PS5 instead of fragmenting their development across another platform. Using my Note 20 Ultra with Kishi and PSPlay is heavenly.
Heads up, you can watch the livestream in 4k for 2.99 extra. By purchasing the diamond livestream, you get an avatar and early viewing access to EaPlay 2022. Finally, for 9.99, you can access all EA trailers in 4k for the next year and receive an avatar and digital lanyard for digital EA keys that your avatar wears on their hip.
Totally getting a wheel with GT7...though this one will probably be a little rich for my blood. I'll probably be relegated to the 2nd class Logitech. But hey, better than just a controller like other normies!
I'm in the minority here I guess. They only need to show what is almost ready. I think it's pretty clear at this point that only Horizon and Deathloop can be shown at this point and I'm okay with that.
I'm hopeful that we'll get some GT7 info by end of year, but if it happens it happens. I do expect there to be a pretty big marketing push in September through November, but will more than likely be focus on what is already out or releasing at the end of year.
@PossibLeigh The gameplay may be tight, but I'm afraid the content will be light. That's what I mean about underdeveloped. Like they thought, hey let's focus on 5 hours of gameplay and just make them play it over and over. Don't spend much time on making it look next gen either. Those 5 hours (stretched to 15-20) may play well, but we should definitely expect that anyways, and we should expect a PS5 game to look and feel like a PS5 game. This just doesn't to me at all.
And hey, thanks for understanding opinions are that and not being offended. It's cool to see both sides.
@PossibLeigh
Sure, I don't care for the art direction and as I mentioned the graphics don't look PS5 at all. To me, this is an underdeveloped looking game that they are trying to hide behind thinly veiled play-the-same-thing over and over mechanics, just dripping you little upgrades that help you get past the next barrier after dying 10 times.
And yeah I played the first Dishonored and didn't really get into it. I actually remember I was super excited when it came out, but thought it was boring after spending some time with it. I did however like the feel of the game much more than this funky looking style they have going here.
Thanks for reviewing this again. For the record I don't take issue with the previous 6 score. I would fully expect the reviewer to apply his/her opinion on the game as they see it without any outside factors playing in, like "it's an avg 8 on Metacritic". You guys do a good job of shrugging off the review score criticism, keep at it.
