Re: Report: How PlayStation Is Failing Indie Developers

RenanLK

They should get some inspiration on how Nintendo is showcasing indies. It's not just about finding games, but putting them side by side with AAAs.

Personally, when I browse Nintendo eShop, I don't feel like there is a difference in quality between an indie or AAA from major publisher, they're mixed up. On PS Store, however, AAAs and games from major publishers often come first, which gives me a feeling that they are "better" than less wanted titles at the bottom of the list.

PlayStation really needs to improve. I mean, Silkroad - the sequel to Shovel Knight - will not release on PS4/PS5 at launch, for example, which says a lot about the poor management of indies on PS.

Re: Upcoming PS5, PS4 Games for July and August 2021

I preordered Neo: TWEWY today after trying the demo last night. Seems to be a unique kind of game, love the art designs.

Btw, it would be nice if Push Square could post links to the games in PS Store (and even better if you folks could get a portion of the sale similar to how Amazon works).

Re: Reaction: E3 Is a Relic Desperately Clinging to Relevancy

RenanLK

I miss E3 to be honest. When publishers started this whole Nintendo Direct approach, it was nice since they shared more info along the year. Now however, it seems that they share way less info than they ever did at E3.

Also the format was fun! High expectations, reserving some time to watch the conferences, the excitement for news. My friends and I talked about E3 a full week after it, at least. Well, times have changed I suppose, but publishers need to do better, Sony included.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Resident Evil Village?

RenanLK

The first half until you beat Beneviento is awesome, the second half not so much, but still good. Couldn't understand why they went with 1st person perspective though, in parts it felt less like Resident Evil and more like Call of Duty with monsters.
Overall I still give it a 9 when I sum all the parts.

My ranking now goes:
1. Resident Evil 2
2. Resident Evil 3
3. Resident Evil Village
4. Resident Evil 7
5. Resident Evil 4 (pending remake)
6. Resident Evil Remake
7. Resident Evil 5 (pending remake)
8. Resident Evil 0
999. Resident Evil 6 (pending complete reboot)

Re: All DualSense PS5 Controller Colours

RenanLK

I still don't get why so many people complain about the original black-and-white colors. They're perfect, match the console and look modern. No way I'm going back to all black controllers.

Re: When Will PS5 Exclusives Drop in Price on PS Store?

RenanLK

Nintendo's policy towards discounts is the reason why I have 5 games on Nintendo Switch compared to 90+ on PlayStation. I hope Sony doesn't follow this same approach.
I managed to get Miles Morales and Sackboy already, but still waiting for a sale on Demon's Souls...
Btw, other publishers are offering sales and better prices already. I got Immortals, THPS upgrade, and RE Village with good prices (fortunately Capcom didn't raise the price).

Re: Official PlayStation App Racks Up 100 Million Installs on Mobile Devices

RenanLK

@2cents Those two features actually work well for me, but the console must be in rest mode. I was in my girlfriend's apartment and installed a game remotely this weekend actually.

Edit: One thing that happens sometimes is that a blackout shutdowns the console while I'm out, and since it doesn't go back to rest mode once the energy is back, remote download requests don't work.

Re: All Resident Evil Games Ranked and Best Places to Start

RenanLK

Nice recommendations! I totally understand the ranking, but I'd change the order a little.

The top 5 for me would be:
1. Resident Evil 2 Remake
2. Resident Evil 7
3. Resident Evil 3 Remake
4. Resident Evil 4
5. Resident Evil Remake

By the way, I loved RE3R! Its only issue for me was its short length, but I had a lot of fun with everything in it. Like some people commented before: it's often judged more for what it isn't than for what it is.

Re: Sony Backtracks PS3, PS Vita Online Store Closures

RenanLK

Nice! I guess there aren't that many PS3 players out there compared to PS4 and PS5, but kudos for Sony for allowing them to keep playing and purchasing games.

That said, I have no clue why Sony would shut it in the first place. They really should offer all of their games forever, build their legacy. And you know, they can iterate on PlayStation Store and keep offering all the products released so far.
