Re: Xbox Boss Admits Microsoft Can't 'Outconsole' PS5

LiamCroft

@get2sammyb Microsoft has always been drumming this beat, though. They don't share console sales numbers, it's about player engagement. Xbox Series X|S doesn't need to outsell PS5 or Switch to be a success, and that's essentially what Phil said.

Re: Xbox Boss Admits Microsoft Can't 'Outconsole' PS5

His comments are completely accurate, but of course fanboys on both sides will go off on one 🙄 Phil mentions how people are embedded in either ecosystem, and have built a library of games there. Since so many people were on PS4 — which as he mentions is the generation they lost — not many people are willing to invest in a whole new system.

What he actually said on the podcast is that people aren’t going to up and sell their PS5 because Starfield is incredible. The digital nature of most people’s libraries stops that happening now.

Re: Sony: We're Not Just Creating 10 Live Service Destiny or Fortnite Games

LiamCroft

I think people are going to be quite surprised when they learn what these 10 live service games actually are, because I'm willing to bet any money Ghost of Tsushima 2 is one of them.

It'll have the same huge single player campaign, but that Legends mode is going to be massively expanded in the sequel. Sony isn't just making 10 Battle Royale knockoffs. These are going to be fully-fledged games.

Re: Capcom Fans Split Over What Classic Game Should Be Remade Next

LiamCroft

@Areus I think Capcom has already done quite a lot for the Mega Man series with all those collections, and then — correct me if I'm wrong — the Devil May Cry games haven't changed all that much. They're all still linear action games, to the point where you might not see much improvement beyond the visuals. And we've already had the remastered collection.

@thefourfoldroot1 That’s right, Chapter 2 actually has a qualifying rating, but it hasn’t received enough votes yet 😊

Re: Resident Evil 4 (PS5) - A True Masterpiece Made Even Better

@caiol92 I played the whole game with the day one patch applied, which fixed the rain. I didn't really have any issues with it when actually playing the game.

As for the audio, the whole thing sounded fantastic to me; really atmospheric. I'm absolutely not an expert in this field, though, so it might be worth searching out more expert opinions on the audio if it's a big deal to you. I just used earphones plugged into the PS5 controller.

Re: Sony Wants to Make PlayStation the Best Place to Play Third-Party Games

LiamCroft

@themightyant I just like to know how long I played a game for, sort of like a diary in the same way Trophies can function. I know it ultimately a meaningless stat, but when I have one console that reliably tracks and another that doesn’t, I’ve decided to give my money to the one doing it accurately from now on.

I don’t have any grand reasoning for placing importance on playtime, I just really like to see the stat 😂 It bothers me when it’s inaccurate

Re: Sony Wants to Make PlayStation the Best Place to Play Third-Party Games

That's never going to be the case for me until they fix the completely broken playtime tracker on PS5. I'd rather my expensive console accurately track time than add a bit of extra controller rumble.

I recently made the switch to buying third-party games on Xbox Series X because of this, where the user experience is much better. PS5 for exclusives and review games only henceforth.
