Re: No Quidditch Matches in Hogwarts Legacy, But You Can Still Fly a Broom

Perryg92

Ahhh, that's a shame!
I survived without Quidditch in the PS2 Prisoner of Azkaban game, so should survive without it in Hogwarts Legacy.

I remember back in 2018 I asked WB Games in London if they would make a Quidditch game and they said it was being looked into (All online ofc like a rocket league style). So maybe there's a separate game in the works? or the person was just lying to me xD

Re: Tour the Hogwarts Legacy Common Rooms, New Gameplay Clips Shared

Perryg92

Looks fantastic! Ravenclaw is my fave of the common rooms.
And great to see the little circular entrance tunnel to the Gryffindor common room is like what was described in the books 👍
Already got my Deluxe edition PS5 physical copy preordered... Just to patiently wait now.
Also how in hell is this going to run on Switch?! Based on all this footage, expecting that version to be severely compromised.
(not deliberately dissing Switch btw. I love that console and one of my faves, but recognise its limitations)

Re: Hogwarts Legacy Delayed, Launches in February 2023

Perryg92

Damn I jinxed it!! 😂
Just earlier today I was discussing Hogwarts Legacy with a work colleague and he asked if it was delayed as he felt there's been next to no news and I said "Nah! seems to be on schedule".

I can wait patiently till Feb! My backlog is too crazy atm. No rush!
Also still can't believe there's a Switch version! So curious if it's native or cloud.
But ofc I'll be getting it on PS5 for hopefully the optimal experience.

Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium PS5, PS4 Games for July 2022 Revealed

Perryg92

Tempted to try out Ice Age: Scrat’s Nutty Adventure xD

I know the Ezio collection is meant to be a bit jank but I might download that. Really enjoyed AC2 & Brotherhood back on PS3. Never got a chance to try Revelations.
Definitely downloading Stray.

With regards to FFVII, I have the PS4 disc with the digital PS5 upgrade. Does this mean I can access the Intermission DLC with my disc?

Tiny bit disappointed with the PS1/PSP/PS2 classics. LocoRoco is cool, but hoping bigger PSP titles like Daxter appear on the service at some point.

Re: Sony Removing Some Purchased Films, Movies from Users' Accounts

Perryg92

Probably in the absolute minority these days, but tis why I still buy physical bluray/4k blurays. (for movies and games).

Just the other day my 7yr old nephew asked me why I still buy discs and I told him because the likes of Netflix/Disney+ etc can just remove films whenever the license expires. He was shocked they can just disappear.
So much so he asked me to get him the 4K bluray of Sonic The Hedgehog 2 so he can have it forever.

Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium Now Live in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand

Perryg92

Haven't gone on to my PS5 yet, but no idea what to expect is going to happen when I do!

I already had a 1yr sub to Now on top of PS Plus, so Sony emailed me twice over the last few weeks to say they will be combined to be "Premium".
But my Now Sub was due to expire in October and my general PS Plus auto renews in September. So does that mean when it comes to Sept i'll be charged £100?!?
If they attempt to charge me right now, i'll be saying "Excuuuuse me!?"

Re: Sony Leaks The Last of Us: Part I for PS5, Launching 2nd September

Perryg92

There's also a trailer on the Playstation Direct site. (weirdly took a while for it to load and i'm on 1GB internet speed - presuming back end site management panicking trying to take it down xD)

Ofc looks alot cleaner and higher framerate version of the game. But i'm hoping it wasn't too big a team doing this remaster at ND. Would prefer new, original content from them and this (to me at least) seems a waste of resources.
But I am sure this will sell like crazy.

Re: EA Responds to Report that Battlefield 2042 Development Is in 'Abandon Ship' Mode

Perryg92

I'm so curious why people take such stock in what Grubb says.
Would like to know the ratio of things he's actually got right compared things he hasn't (and sure has made an excuse every time as to why it didn't go as he said)

I did however see Battlefield 2042 going for £14.95 on Game Collection today, so makes me think it's gone into the bargain bin to be forgotten about.

Re: Poll: We Want You to Rate Your Favourite PSP Games

Perryg92

What timing for this poll article to pop up! I got my PSP out of the attic yesterday!
Sadly I traded in most of my PSP games back in the day when i was around 14yrs old to help buy a PS3 (back when it was £425)

Thankfully still have a few of my faves:
Daxter
KH: Birth By Sleep
Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters
and the demo UMD with the Spidey 2 trailer and Natasha Bedingfield's "These Words" music vid xD.

Loved playing Tomb Raider Legend and Anniversary and Pursuit Force on the old handheld too.

Re: Hands On: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Massively Builds on Predecessors

Perryg92

Looks fantastic! Always liked the Lego games since the original Lego Star Wars on PS2 to chill and play for easy going sessions.
My only question is, can the HUD be tweaked/minimised? There were a few moments in the video where the screen looks very busy.
Would like to be able to see the plastic figures and environments in all their glory with some of the HUD elements removed.

Re: Hogwarts Legacy Will Be Free of Microtransactions

Perryg92

@Quintumply thanks for confirming this!
My biggest worry last night was that there might be when I saw real time countdown timers for herbs growing in the room of requirement.
Now this is likely to be a day 1 purchase for me!

Also can't believe it's going to be on Switch! (may be cloud, although Amazon have put up a physical boxart)
Of course I will be choosing Hogwarts Legacy for PS5 though for the superior experience
Can't wait for its Christmas release!

Re: Poll: Will You Buy Hogwarts Legacy?

Perryg92

I was 100% all in... Until I saw the real time countdown timers for the potion brewing in the room of requirement.

I immediately thought "Awww damn! Don't tell me the game is going the mobile game route of having some" rare gem" that will speed up the process and you can purchase in bulk with real money on a digital storefront"

I never buy microtransactions. If this game pushes the way of mobile and deliberately forces a grind if you don't invest, I'll sadly leave it.
Hoping it's not the case though!
It looks amazing other than that issue.

Re: Ten Second Hogwarts Legacy PS5, PS4 Taste Has Us Hyped

Perryg92

Please be good! Please be good! 🙏
I grew up on Philosopher's Stone on PS1 and Chamber of Secrets + Prisoner of Azkaban on PS2, so would love for this to be a hit.

Also curious how they'll handle Quidditch. Could it end up like Quidditch World Cup but with full online play?!

Re: Horizon Forbidden West Update 1.05 Released, Here Are the Patch Notes

Perryg92

Couldn't help but laugh at this patch note:
>NPCs that seemed to suffer from insomnia and would gather in large groups at night in settlements should act more naturally now.

Happy to see the HDR issue seems to be fixed.
Haven't had much issue overall aside from abrupt pop in. Like the intro credits. I know it's in real time which is awesome, but had a moment where Aloy was in a white void and then BAM! a mountain range appeared xD
(The SSD is still the same one built into the PS5 system, if anyone thinks it may be due to a slower expanded SSD)

Tonight after work will be another 20mins of flicking back and forth between resolution and performance modes to see the differences

Re: Here's Your First Look at PS5's PSVR2 Headset, Which Is Lighter and Slimmer Than Original

Perryg92

Now to reveal the price point.

Doubt I will be an early adopter like I was with the original PSVR. Paying £400 day 1 for the headset and move controllers only for the headset to break (had a red line go across the screen) with minimal use and just after the warranty expired so Sony wanted to charge £200 to fix. I declined and a few weeks later walked into an Argos and got the V2 headset for £180 with Firewall, Moss and another game.
