Playing RE4 in PSVR2 is worth the price alone, I've been playing console games for over 40 years and playing RE4 in VR was one of the most fun I've ever had in this hobby... EVER!

Hitman WOA on PSVR2... Gonna kill me some CEO's

@RoomWithaMoose
You bring up a few very good points, but I would also add that gaming has evolved a lot in the past 30 years. For me I started out gaming with a controller with two buttons and a D-pad with side scrolling games from left to right, games now have full 3D worlds to explore for 100 hours or more while using a controller in todays minds was designed to control a real life space ship. (Which they do use console controllers to actually control drones) With that said, games are much more complicated and involving then they used to be. I would argue that todays youth find games kind of hard to learn.. For me playing games since the 80's I can learn a pretty complex game within maybe two hours while todays youth it would take them a lot longer to learn, factor in the constant ringing of cell phone notification and other distractions they might put the controller down and turn to something else. which may also explain why online streamers are so popularly with younger generations... why learn the mechanics of a game that's overly complicated when you can watch someone else play it for you.

I've got to say I was skeptical about GOY, seeing as they really didn't evolve the game much from GOT I wasn't too excited about this sequel epically with just coming of Shadows with 165 hours I felt I may been burnt out for katana wielding action adventure... Boy!!! was I wrong not only did sucker punch double down on what made GOT great (which I didn't think was possible) they single handily made one of the most natural exploration open world games I've ever played, with a really good overall narrative (which by the way has never been done in an open world game before). This game is quite a treat to play just by refusing to open the map and play the game it was intended to be played, like a wondering Ronin.

This news makes me super excited to try the new Mass Effect game built from the ground up with migrant workers...

Guess ill be binge watching Blue Eye Samurai on Netflix till release day.

@Scottyy bc you got to keep bouncing on the stupid flowers to get back to the area. its probably the worst part of the game.

@somnambulance I just hope they fix the mob arena in hunters march where the map vendor Shakra shows up and helps you out... problem is if you leave the area and explore other parts of the maps she disappears which forces you to complete one of the hardest parts of the game by yourself. This part literally has taken me longer then any boss.

@HallowMoonshadow Switch to reaper crest and it will make short work of him which can be found in the in the Chapel of the Reaper just above the boss. I had a hard time with him till I started exploring around more.

@Dom_31 I agree 100 percent, working on a boss and beating him only to get nothing, like not even any beads...I just spent 45 mins working back from my save point to get to the boss and beat him for no reward really gets my goat!
This is probably my only nit pick with the game other then that its pretty awesome and only for 20 bucks.

The thing about this game for me is, Hollow knight came out so long ago when the genre felt bare and didn't really have a lot of games, but since its release we have had a lot of top Metroidvania since then. I'm wondering if Silk Song is gonna have the same steam and praise as the first did so long ago.

@WaveBoy I agree totally, I just feel bad for ppl who tell me a certain movie or video game is the scariest thing they've experienced because once you experienced a horror game in VR there's no going back to flat screen scares.

I'm still waiting to see if they are gonna port it to PSVR2.
Village in PSVR2 was one of the most terrifying things I've experienced in 40 years of gaming.

@Frmknst so let me get this straight, you have literally never heard anyone compare the open world structure of Ghost of Tsushima to a open world Ubisoft game... Are you being serious!

The first ghost game felt a lot like a Ubisoft game bc there really wasn't much in terms of verity, much like shadows. I hope they added some cool mini games or at least something to interact within towns other then shop vendors.

Sessions and Skater XL kind of filled the void of a sim skater games years ago this maybe a waste of time.

Great, I've been waiting for a sim building game for a while now since Cities skylines 2 has disappeared all of a sudden.

Will there be a VR mode... If not, then I might as well sell off my PSVR2. Resident evil was the only reason I bought the thing in the first place.

You're my soda pop, my little Soda Pop!!!

She's a much as a real gamer as the Botulism injections in her face and lips.

I've got a bad feeling about this.

@naruball Sure, that maybe true ten years ago when the 360 and PS3 were around. But things have changed, most gamers aren't drawn to exclusives games anymore in order to decide what console to buy... but to their digital game library they own on that said console.
Which is why we are see less and less console exclusives being made.

Did anyone actual watch the show... Next to Blue Eye Samurai, it was one of the best anime I've seen, not to mention how awesome the sound track was, having Dante wreak soldiers while RATM played in the background was super cool.

@DennisReynolds its not about owning studios its about owning Intellectual property and franchises. Like when Netflix purchased the rights to stream Friends on its subscripting platform it cost them over 100 million for a few years rights.
This is what we are witnessing, the race of Microsoft and Sony grabbing as much IP and franchise in order to win.
And in Disney's case the question has been brought up with owning Star wars IP, how long can you pump out movies and shows till franchise fatigue sets in.
So, as of right now... Yes the console wars are over and good riddance it was stupid to began with not like Saga and SNES days.
But now we are entering a new era the race for Digital IP ownership and subscription base streaming.

I think most gamers are over looking the fact that Sony and Microsoft aren't interested in releasing Triple A Games anymore they aren't very profitable. Microsoft and Sony are looking at the Netflix subscription model and have been for quite sometime.
Which means more crappy games on a subscription service, just like Netflix.
This is why your getting excusive ports on both consoles the question is who will win the base platform for the subscription.

I'm curious to see how this plays, I love open world games but I also do understand gamers frustration with them as of late. Modern Developers have found cleaver ways around the parts of an open world exploration with map icons and such, but to be honest having your HUD full of icons defeats the propose of exploring a beautiful open world to when there's tons of S***T on your screen... Before anyone replies with "Elden Ring did it" my response to that is... No they didn't. IMO I bounced off that game after level 40, I couldn't stand wasting time on a hard boss fight I found in a cave only to get a staff I will never use. because in Elden Ring there was literally no way to tell what was actually worth exploring on the map for your current character build, and if you took a chance on a cave and wasted three hours in it only to get junk equipment, too bad. Nothing is more annoying then beating your head against a wall in a boss fight for a useless reward.
So Yeah, this might be cool new way to discover things in an open world.

@Don_Corleone I'm not trolling you man, I just gave you a legit link to a real price of the PS5 Pro in Canada and not Including a GST tax, making the console over one thousand dollars.... So instead of throwing out insults to strangers online why don't you go outside and enjoy the grass.
Cheers!

@DennisReynolds I do agree, I've played AC shadow's only in 30FPS mode just to experience the difference in graphical quality, but again my OP argument still stands...is it really worth the extra 1,100 bucks for a new console.

@Don_Corleone https://www.gamestop.ca/PS5/Games/927788/playstation-5-pro-console?srsltid=AfmBOornezH9Q6XIyHGlUHObLsC2dDU9JBFmA9r_sgrKUFFbF57z8YFf

With taxes the system will cost over 11 hundred bucks I'm not lying... Even if I traded in my ps5 with disc and my PSVR2 I'm still looking at 400 bucks of my own money. Maybe this might be worth it when GTA6 comes out but Rockstar have yet to confirmed a Pro Version.... SO YEAH BRO NOT REALLY WORTH IT AT THIS POINT. and that's just to console not including the price of a new 120hz OLED
Chill Bro my point is valid even if it hurts your feelings, relax.. this isn't a console war argument.

@Don_Corleone Yeah most TVs not all, if you want to spend a couple hundred extra on a 120HZ TV on top of the PS5 pro which is already 11 hundred dollar console you're looking at a lot of money up front for minor graphical gains.

This is all great news but without a proper Display (120hz, 4k OLED) these improvement seem small and talking about PSSR and AI upscaling feels like techno babble and completely overreach on Sony's end, which gives me the impression that its not really worth the investment at this point.

three experience's that have revolutionized this hobby for me in my 40 years of playing games. Playing PSVR2 is one of them.

Where's my change night and day opinion.

@Mythologue I agree with you, its not a popular opinion but shadows has the prefect game loop, very short... Giving that I only have a few hours a week to play its perfect game for a busy Dad.

@gamer153 Judging by the comment you either to young to remember the real problems that went along with enjoying the hobby back in the day. Most ppl seem to forget how crappy it kind of was playing videos back then compared to now.. I remember buying Super Mario 3 for almost 100 bucks back then (adjusted for inflation 190 bucks) great game but not worth that price. It was niche hobby then not a lot of people played video games it was considered a children's hobby.
Now a days gaming has never been better, this current generation has so many awesome games to play, even for free on your phone. you can also experience full size digital worlds that you can waste hours and hours in and all for the price of a ticket to the movies... Who cares if some of those open worlds games might have some bugs in them, compared to back then they are leagues ahead in terms of quality and price.
If you ask me gaming has never been better.
So stop looking at the past with rose tinted glasses and start praising the current gaming landscape today, with its patches and hotfixes as well.

I don't know about you guys, but I had a lot of fun with assassins creed shadows. I also had a great time with Star Wars Outlaws as well, sure Ubisoft games got some issues but overall there games are actually really fun to play.. I know its cool to hate on Ubisoft for (reasons) But they actually been nailing it lately with, Shadows, Outlaws, Prince of Persia, Avatar... Its a shame ppl bashing on Ubisoft for (reasons). But for me They've released a lot of bangers in the past year, its to bad gamers cant see past the hate.

Just bring us Red Dead Revolver remake and midnight club as well, you bunch of Ding Bats!!!!

Could this decision come from the fact that the used game sale industry is dead and Sony themselves have realized they have no need to incentivize consumers to buy digital only since they now own the market...

@Zuljaras
I can understand this frustration, during the PSN blackout. Which was a couple weeks back, I realized I couldn't play any of my digital games which made my PSN account worth over a couple of grand completely useless (even games I had already downloaded on my PS5 I couldn't play). Now that blackout has made me think twice about buying digital.

@Zuljaras
just curious, can you explain more in detail why your choosing not to support this game come day one.

@bobby_steurer
Thanks buddy, I rarely post on internet social forms but when I do it has to be a banger.
Cheers.

I think I've come to realize after watching this trailer that I'm getting old and shooting cops and going to strip clubs just doesn't appeal to me anymore.
Maybe if it was an open world where you take your wife to Home depot and discuss what colors of blinds to buy would be more relatable.
But I'm happy for the kids to have a new Grand Theft Auto.

I am on the fence with this getting this game... Yes I love good story and great gameplay mechanics, but when ever I hear about difficult games it always turns me off, with the limited time I do have to play this awesome hobby I don't find it fun beating my head against the wall in order to over come something.
Now I know what everyone is gonna tell me "Get it ,its awesome" but its kinda like jumping in really cold water, everyone screams when they get in then say how refreshing it is. I'm that kid on the diving broad.

I'm happy to see the development team excited to announce new content after all the S**T they went through getting this game out the door.

I am so stoked to play this, I am also not a big streamer kinda guy but streaming this gameplay on VR is one of the most hilarious things to do, just watch MERPTV on YouTube, that sh** is super funny.

Cant wait!!

@Cornpop76 Same here man, I think I might be the last one left in my old crew that still makes times for video games. My wife cant play them at all and my kid is now in the social media phase, so its just me and Spiderman swing around these days.

I am seriously hoping this game knocks it out of the park seeing so many studios closing this last year breaks my heart, so lets hope this is a win for Ubisoft.

This is very sad news all that work and effort, not to mention scandal's and negative press from over entitled gamers who scream "Woke" when they see character with different color or gender. I Hope this Game comes out on top after its release...
BUY CANADIAN!!!

Finally something that I can escape into and take away my attention from these god awful news headlines.
