Re: The Last of Us Multiplayer Was 80% Complete Before Cancellation, Spent 7 Years in Development

His timeline doesn't add up.

He said he was working on it from 2016, but the pandemic and increased funding would only come in late 2020/2021.

"Sony decided to put a lot of money into online gaming like everyone else was. That's part of why The Last of Us Multiplayer got funding, we got off the ground and we made a lot of progress, and the game was doing really, really well internally".

So for 4/5 years there was no funding?

Re: Xbox Targets 2027 for Project Helix Dev Kits, Calling Rumoured PS6 Release Into Question

Since when do we believe anything that Xbox says, have we forgot about this entire console generation?

The two companies will operate independently of each other. PlayStation is no longer in direct competition of Xbox, certainly not with their overly expensive PC box their creating.

PS6 will drop when Sony/PlayStation thinks it's best for them, Xbox can do as they please because these are two different markets now.

Re: PS6 Rival Xbox Helix Could Cost as Much as $1,200

@Boxmonkey i'm going off the information consistently being provided by Moore's Law and how Sony have bought large amounts of stock in advance across all components, most importantly the RAM.

Considering his track record, who are we as nobodies to question with zero resources or insider info ourselves?

Re: Craving Classic Castlevania? Saint Slayer Hits PS5, PS4 This April

@get2sammyb i'm not tbh. I find it difficult to get into side scrollers in general mainly because i'm just comically bad at them.

The only ones i've really enjoyed was Strider (2014) and Velocity 2X (one of my all time favourite game weirdly).

I much prefer more chilled, story centric side scrollers like Gris and Oxenfree.

Re: Skate Is Placing New Map Area Behind a Paywall, and Fans Are Outraged

Jacko11

I don't see any issue with this if it was exclusive for a timed period behind a paywall (if necessary), as maybe a testing ground before general release with additional benefits for the early adopters.

But this is ridiculous. We're long past the days of DLC Maps being paywalled permanently in games like COD and Battlefield.

I get they need to make money to continue the service, but this ain't it.

Re: PS5's Retro God of War Game Gets the Worst Reviews in the Series

Jacko11

We should really be using OpenCritic instead of MetaCritic.

The scores aren't weighted based on outlet then.

For those not in the know, an example is that an IGN review will carry much more influence on the overall average score based on back-end point allocation assigned to each outlet. So IGN as a 'bigger outlet' will have much more 'points' than Push Square will have - yet I know who's opinion I'd value more.

Re: The Internet Has Not Been Kind to Horizon Hunters Gathering

Jacko11

I liked the look of it but didn’t “Like” the trailer on YouTube, so that stat is kinda irrelevant.

But again as with anything, you’ll find the majority of the negativity will come from people who never had an interest in Horizon anyway, nevermind a multiplayer offering.

Entitled babies rage on.

Re: Sony's Sending Messages to PS4 Players Encouraging Them to Upgrade to PS5

Jacko11

Not sure why people are being so negative about this. It's not like this pops up on your screen without warning and forces you to read.

It's one of thousands of 'From PlayStation' notifications sent over the years that can only be viewed if you look at your notifications specifically, and even then you can just delete without reading.

They've did it in the past for new releases, DLC's drops, hints and tips, plus when State of Play or Showcases have been scheduled.

Really not a big issue and little babies are complaining even when it's not relevant to them and/or they're not even on PS4 anymore.
