Re: Rumour: A New PlayStation Handheld Console Reportedly in the Works

Sakai

Seems kind of pointless when you have devices like the rog ally and steam deck.

Why limit yourself to a Sony device, when you can play almost anything on an Ally, as they launch their games on steam.

With a 3rd party device you can play Sony games and everything else with emulators. A much better proposition and that is before you even mention sonys appalling track record of supporting devices outside of its core home console (Vita and psvr as 2 recent examples)

Re: Sony's Own MLB The Show 24 Will Be Full-Price on PS5, PS4 Again, No Extra Cost on Xbox Game Pass

Sakai

I get Sony do not have a say in the gamepass deal, but they could at the very least make the same deal and put it on their own sub aswell, try and give some value back to their customers and not have such bad optics over the years.

PS plus really needs to improve alot to be in the same league as gamepass. It's nowhere near at the minute and some day 1 deals like that would get me to resubscribe. As a multiplatform gamer it's not even a contest on which service gets my money

Re: Rec Room Dev 'Can't Justify' a PSVR2 Port

Sakai

I did predict pre launch it would not even sell as well as psvr1, as a lot of people got stung on psvr1 with motion sickness (Like myself - One of my most regrettable purchases ever) and a lack of any killer game.

PSVR2 was destined to fail even before the questionable launch (zero hype, not sold in stores etc) and not because its a bad product, but because VR is nowhere near ready for mass market appeal and a huge number of people have absolutely no interest in it at all

Re: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (PS5) - The Best Yakuza Game Ever Made

Sakai

I tried the man erased his name and found it dull as dishwater and did not make it to the end. I Really wish I could get into this series, but every time I try, I just can't seem to enjoy them. I am a huge fan of Shenmue as well, so you would think these games would click, but they do not.

And as a side note: How are we ever going to stop getting fleeced as customers, when Sega's shady practises are brushed over every time by the media and the game scores highly regardless. We get what we deserve to be honest

Re: The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered (PS5) - A Near Perfect Package for New and Returning Fans

Sakai

I recently finished part 2 on PS5 and while I enjoyed the game, it was way to long and boring and a step down from Part 1 (It was in my top 5 most played games last year)

I just watched the Digital Foundry video and I cant believe it is exactly the same with no visual enhancements. This must take the prize for most pointless remaster ever. Please stop remastering games that do not need it, this game is not even 4 years old! Just stop

Re: Upgraded PS5 Controller with Hugely Improved Battery Life Spotted

Sakai

I mentioned this the other day but I have had 3 dualsence, 2 white and 1 starlight blue. Never got more than 4 hours charge at most out of any of them. 12hours is still poor compared to the competition. Two of them broke due to the RT snapping and going floppy. Between drift, poor battery and breaking triggers the dualsence has been a massive step backwards after the dualshock 4. I do like the rumble but the adaptive triggers are awful and just get in the way

Re: Apex Legends Fans Are Absolutely Irate with the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Event's Pricing

Sakai

Stop playing predatory games that have no respect for you. Live service games are a cancer on the industry and instead of making excuses for them, people should call them out and stop supporting them. Same goes for gacha games.

That means stop buying from the stores, and stop playing the games at all, or things will continue to get worse and worse. If you play these games you are telling devs and publishers that this sort of thing is fine, and nothing will ever get better for us the consumer. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

Re: Sony's Third-Party Chief Explains How PlayStation Makes PS5 the Best Place to Play

Sakai

The dualshock 4 is far superior to the dualsence. I am on my 3rd dualsence as both my previous controllers the springs have snapped in the RT. Its extra annoying as I hate the adaptive triggers, as they just get in the way, especially when playing difficult games (as I tend to alot) The battery life has also been a major disappointment, and the longest I have ever got out of a charge being approx. 4 hours with the triggers turned off, really nowhere near good enough

I do like the rumble, but overall the dualsence is a massive step down from the Dualshock 4

Re: Future Looking Bright for Fallout 76 and Its Legions of Players

Sakai

76 is hugely improved since launch and deserved to be mentioned in the same breath asno man's sky and cyberpunk when it comes to a redemption arc.

I am not a big 76 player, or any multiplayer title really. But credit where credit is due, they have done a really good job fixing and improving the game and its turned into a pretty popular game

Re: Beware! Marvel's Wolverine PS5 Assets Are Beginning to Appear Online

Sakai

The slide titled "leapfrog" is very interesting, it's basically an internal document with Sonys thought on ATVI.

Sad to see Ratchet and Clank lost money, I enjoyed that game with my son and got the Platinum. Happy to see another one is still planned as Marvel is not really my thing, and Insomniac seem to be the Marvel studio now.

Sad day for the devs, got to feel for them today.
