It certainly looked interesting when I watched Game Grumps play it. It had VR support on PC, so I'd hope for PSVR support as well.. that would make it a no brainer!
It's a game I come back to every year or so.. It's truly a hidden gem in the PS4 library. Easily one of the top 10. My only issue is it's sooooo hard to get back into it. It's mmo levels of complexity sometimes.
Dang, how many copies of Heavy Rain am I going to have... (just 1 because I can only own 1 digital copy, but this would be the 3rd time I've gotten it for "free")
Dang I love this game. It's so intense/exciting. I don't think I'll ever hit stage 100 though. My best on PSP was in the 50s I think? I think it's been over 10 years ..........
I would still like to know definitively whether or not the decision to the lock the account was made by Epic of Sony. All indications would seem to point at this being Epic's decision.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, from a business prospective cross platform is always going to hurt the company on top the most.
Personally, I believe it should be up to the developer/host to decide whether or not crossplay is allowed. It is ultimately their time and money to enable these features. This is also why I think the account lock is an Epic issue and not a Sony issue too.
@glassmusic they were open to it longer than they've been against it. When they were the underdog, they loved the idea, but now that they are on top, it is seen as something that will hurt business (because it would likely hurt them). Microsoft was the same way last generation.
I don't like most CoD, but I did enjoy BO3. The coop campaign is pretty fun on realistic difficulty. Not sure it's worth the 100gb of downloads, but there are worse ways to spend your $0.00.
This seems more like an Epic issue? Even if Sony doesn't allow crossplatform play, Epic should still be able to allow the login from that account (even if it doesn't mean anything carries over). Warframe doesn't have crossplay, but you can still use the same DE account on both platforms (with different saves on each).
Because of the way that error is worded, it seems a little passive aggressive on Epic's part. It's very possibly Sony and Epic have some sort of contract that prevents them from allowing it, but that seems unlikely (and even if that's the case, it's Epic's fault for accepting/allowing that).
I'm not horribly interested in seeing more of these games until they are out. I'm already sold on most of them. Personally, I'd rather just see new stuff, even if that means a way shorter show.
Price, dpad, and stick locations (in that order) ruins this for me. Just put paddles on the DS4 and it will be perfect........ no need for this nonsense
Maybe I'm the minority but physical portable games are terrible compared to digital anyways. Swapping cards is a huge pain. I get the Vita memory cards are tiny and expensive, but still...
I almost always buy digital. I'm lazy. I also like the idea that if a game is re-released on PS5 (or any other future console), I might also get a copy for that system for free by already owning a digital copy of the ps3/ps4/vita version.
The game starts pretty slow, but it was really worth sticking with. It's one of the more memorable games I've played on the PS3. I'd like to go back and re-play it in the new 'chronological' mode though. I'm wondering how different an experience that will be.
I recommend playing completely solo if possible, but if you have someone to play start to finish with, it's worth checking out the coop mode.
Is it JUST Sony? Quick look shows physical copies of Monster Hunter World aren't being sold for either PS4 or Xbone right now. I would look for an Xbone exclusive game.. but.. well you know...
Black Ops was really the only line that I enjoyed the campaign. That said, it probably makes sense to just cut single player from COD and sell a finished MP title instead.
@WanderingBullet Dang that's hella unlucky. I'm in the 110s and already have 2 or 3 weapons of most types with Hero stone augs. Granted, I got most of them from the tempered pickle event that is going away
At this point, I'm more interested in the launch titles. What could they possibly have hidden away for a PS5 release? I could see Days Gone getting pushed to PS5 since it will almost certainly be a generational CPU leap allowing for better zombie physics.
I've always been very interested in these games, but never found the combat to be 'fun'. Judging from the demo, combat seems to be fairly minor compared to the story/world. Is that accurate in the full game?
Also, does the game actually support the Pro or is it just utilizing 'boost mode' to help framerate? The demo had some super nasty jaggies, so I'm hoping the full version offers some sort of 4k mode?
I still just hope it uses the same VR headset. I'm coming off my PSVR high and starting to regret it a bit.
I would like to also see bumper buttons on the back of the new controller. Otherwise, the DS4 is pretty much perfect (obviously it's battery isn't though).
@Flopsy I'm convinced they just have the option to turn on/off the signal, but they don't do anything to process the image any differently.
Sadly, I don't see them ever making this a priority. The engine is an older engine that probably wasn't designed to account for true HDR visuals. I can't imagine they'd put effort into what only affects a very small % of their player base.
@Bliquid This could also explain the lack of any real graphical improvement on the other consoles. Considering the Switch version is struggling with last gen graphics at 720p, if they pushed the other two consoles harder, the Switch version probably wouldn't even be possible (if they were going for cheap/easy port)
I wish I enjoyed this game as much as everyone else, but there was just about about the Dark Souls series I never loved like I did Demon's and Bloodborne. 60 FPS will be a HUGE improvement for fans of the original though. I'm not a framerate snob at all, but when precision controls are involved, there's no substitute.
Anyone saying he's too easy... don't forget he's just a high rank monster still. ALL high rank monsters are 'easy' and always have been 'easy' for vets.
His armor set is fairly decent with such high handicraft. His weapons are hit/miss. They would be a lot more 'viable' if the Diablos weapons with non-elemental deco weren't so OP. With augs, some of them have the potential to be very powerful.
Maybe he just means they won't get a share of the PROFITS? Maybe they just banked on him with the idea that he'll make more quality games down the line and stick with EA.
Otherwise.. ya.. it seems a little weird they'd just pay all this money to publish a game without at least making their money back?
Bow nerf I only use it on bagels, but I'll miss the snap dragon piercer.
Honestly, I expected more nerfs than buffs. The game is already on the way easier side for a MH game imo. I know HR was never that hard, but I'm dying for a meaningful challenge/G rank here.
