Re: Talking Point: Do You Agree with PS5's Approach to Generations?

Makina

I do believe in generations, they are need it in closed platforms.

New games should be designed focusing 100% on new hardware without self impose limits for legacy hardware. That's why i am also pro exclusives (real exclusives) even when some people find it anti-consumer (It's not).

Right now Santa Monica should be focus GoW5 on PS5 and only PS5, make graphics API, Engines, Inputs, etc drain every single bit of PS5 architecture, without mind how your engine will do in 50 different PC configurations, that's 3º party devs work...

BUT there's also a need for user to be able to run legacy software on new hardware. Those are 2 different things that does not exclude each other. Specially since they are keeping the same architecture and media format of current-gen.

Re: Ghost of Tsushima Gets Difficulty Right, Hard Mode Doesn't Just Increase Enemy Health

Makina

@MarcG420 Problem is devs tend to do a bad/lazy work with Hard or Easy difficulties.
God of War on Hard is not hard, is just boring, enemies has a ridiculous HP pool, feels like Kratos is using a stick, not a axe.
Same with BotW on master mode, minions just keep getting it's health back.
It make the game feels grindier not harder.

The only game that i remember that implement a difficult selector in a way as god as fixed difficulty is Cuphead.

Re: PS5 Fans Are Panicking Over Backwards Compatibility

>I'd hope Sony tries to either match or closely resemble their plan.
As today, It's like the whole Sony strategy towards PS5 will be to "Trying to catch or close resembling XSX"

Let's hope the 10TF PS5 can get close enough to 12TF XSX in performance
Let's hope PS5 implement something that match XSX Smarth Delivery
Let's hope BC on PS5 at least closely resemble XSX BC

They are given away to many things to MS just from the start. At some point 1º party games will be their only card. And MS is making progress in that area too.

Re: The Last of Us 2 Has Apparently Been Banned in Some Countries

Makina

Well, is expected since the game is loaded with ideological propaganda not accepted on those cultures. Some games like MK11 also got the same treatment in Japan for being too violent.

Actually Sony also censor games from japan for having panties, so... gay bad on Middle-east and panties bad on the Liberal West.

Re: Google Stadia Exclusivity Delays Serious Sam 4 on PS4 Until 2021

Makina

Well, you have to be very hypocrite if you complain about this, but not when Sony (or MS) do the exact same thing.

I personally have no problem with exclusives or timed exclusives, actually i have very strong opinions againts 1º party studios doing the opposite. With the exception been cases like Metro Exodus or Phoenix Point on Steam/EGS.

Re: Talking Point: Will You Be Buying Ghost of Tsushima?

Makina

They sold me the game today.
Gameplay focus, in-game HUD, exploration, customization, style, features, etc. And not political BS.
THIS is the path, Sony, make the rest of your 1º party studios come in line with this.
One perfect State of Play.
Congrats to SuckerPunch, beautiful game coming.
