Re: Feature: E3 2017 Game of the Show - Spider-Man

@dark_knightmare2 I know. My view accounts for one of those Millions of views. And I think it looks bad.

Just because my view that the game looks boring and uninspired doesn't mean you should like it any less.

Neither do I think your opinion is void or irrelevant, it is wholly irrelevant to you. To point my opinion as s*** is just childish. By I'm guessing it fits your age so I'll leave you to that.

Don't want to sell graphics, you like graphics, it works for you and then.

YouTube views don't endorse a great game. Millions worldwide watched an extremist Islamic beheading.... does that automatically qualify that as awesome then???

@get2sammyb not guessing, I know you're wrong. You're also entitled to your opinion. But casting an opinion on mine based on a PS4 forum just seems irrelevant.

My opinion in a minority of a playstation forum, in an article written to crow about Spider-Man? I'd guess so hahahaha.

In a minority of the global video game community census??? Absolutely not.

It's time people stopped looking at games and saying "oooooo, this game looks amazing!" With no concern for gameplay or anything beyond Kratos' new real beard.

Looking a bit deeper and realising you are being given exactly the same game you got last year, it just looks nicer, would see a lot of scores starting to fall.

The state of games on PS4 since its launch is starting to slowly feel like Atari in the early 80's, its just modern graphic engines are good at hiding mediocre and plageurised game mechanics from people who just simply love stretchy suits, cut scenes and lush beards.

You want top visuals? Buy a bluray movie, you want a long and rewarding interactive experience??? But a video GAME!!! Not a graphical sizzle reel dispersed inbetween uninspired and repeated gameplay.

Re: Feature: E3 2017 Game of the Show - Spider-Man

Shinobi1Kenoby

Really!!!? I genuinely thought this looked the most boring and uninspired game of any format shown at E3.

Had a lot of hope for this and was genuinely looking forward to it. After E3, I have literal zero interest in it. Would not even download this if it showed up as free on ps+ game for the month after its release

Re: Gallery: God of War PS4 Screenshots Show the Most Impressive Graphics at E3 2017

@dark_knightmare2 horizon isn't won anything. Uncharted 4 was a good game but was the same as 3, 2 and 1 where 2 was the best in the series and bloodborne won game of the year in the category of "PLAYSTATION game of the year" so something on PS4 has to win. Just so happened that the year, the best PS4 had to offer, for that particular awarding body, was bloodborne.

Any other amazing genre defining and highly creative games??

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of E3 2017?

Shinobi1Kenoby

@FullbringIchigo Couldn't agree more on the Double Metroid announcement, definitely the show stealer this year.

I was excited for Spider-Man........ till I saw it running in-game at this E3 and then yawwwwwwned after realising it was infamous in a Spider-Man suit.

Half excited for God of War as was a huge fan of one and two, bored of 3 and ascension. Thought this might revitalise the IP a little. It didn't for me.

Wanted a lot more out of Sony this year apart from further evidencing they are less and less about games and more and more about monopolising the market and ramming advertising campaigns in peoples faces.

Re: Gallery: God of War PS4 Screenshots Show the Most Impressive Graphics at E3 2017

@Sanquine Already got one and it's phenomenal piece of hardware.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not needlessly hating on Sony. I played PS3 though it's whole lifespan, I have 2 PS4s in my house that are played daily. I'm just bored to hell of the zero range of quality titles on PS4 and total lack of originality, sequels for the sake of sequels that are into the 10th and 20th itteration cause they really have no creativity to deliver a good interactive experience, just the same old tired formula hidden behind modern graphics.

PS4 is the worst platform Sony have done yet and is essentially a graphical upgrade of the PS£, which was their best hardware. They really should have looked at delivering something more like the Switch this gen and invested more in first party software R&D for new and creative games.

Re: Gallery: God of War PS4 Screenshots Show the Most Impressive Graphics at E3 2017

Shinobi1Kenoby

Don't get me wrong. This looks very nice. However, if nice looking things are what I was buying I'd buy wall art.

What I want is a good game. A strong interactive experience. God of War 5, is the same game as 4, 3, 2 and 1 and truth be told this franchise topped out with 2 which was brilliant. Then Santa Monica filed to do anything new for the next 3 games.

These companies keep doing this, Assassins Creed is another good example. 2 was phenomenal... then it all got very VERY boring.

Stop developing [enter stale franchise title here] 5, 9 and 16!!! Stop doing remakes!!!! Stop hiring 3D artists and start hiring developers and designers!!!!

Start making GAMES again and stop making moving pretty pictures.

Re: WipEout Omega Collection's Anti-Grav League Opens 6th June

Shinobi1Kenoby

@dark_knightmare2 F-Zero invented the genre with F-Zero and perfected it with F-Zero X which still stands today as the best anti grab game ever made. Nintendo have no made and F-Zero game since.

But no matter how many attempts Wipeout make to copy F-Zero, some iterations have been good but it has still never bettered it.

Re: Reaction: Remembering PS3 - The Console That Wouldn't Quit

Shinobi1Kenoby

@adf86 that's because "general" demand is generated by sony, not by the consumer. As the general consumer is blinded by "most powerful graphics ever!!!! ...." same mentality that loves movie sequels that are "bigger explosions! Bigger guns! More fasterer and furiouser"
Retarded general thinking like that, that sees FIFA 0-garbage topping the charts every year

Re: Reaction: Remembering PS3 - The Console That Wouldn't Quit

Shinobi1Kenoby

@adf86 you wouldn't get remasters now as the games that are out now would have had the same development window as they have had.

NEVER in history has so many "remasters" been released in the launch window of a console. Infact across its entire lifespan. Serve as nothing else as library padding to make it look like here's more choice than there really is.

I already said and agreed that graphical advancements are minor and take longer for BIG noticeable changes. What this should mean is that your console has a longer lifespan and the next generation adds something to the industry beyond "better graphics".

Any talk of PS5 for he next several years is beyond premature, but will happen as the PS4 was so premature, it will now have set a precedent to satiate a demand that isn't really there, until they generate it though the power or marketing and advertising.

Same money grabbing mentality behind why your iPhone NEEDS changing at the tep year mark. A £600 device with a 24 month lifecycle??? Get bent

Re: Reaction: Remembering PS3 - The Console That Wouldn't Quit

Shinobi1Kenoby

@Lovespuds the pad is awful and he functionality is dire, boy. But each to their own.

Suspending to pop into Netflix is near pointless and has nothing to do with the advancement of video games.

Where the only "offering" is graphical, then hardware really should have an even longer lifespan in this day and age. Unless it has something completely revolutionary to offer like the Switch.

It would be pointless to see the Switch 2 or PS5 for at least another 8-10 years from now as there will be NOTHING in the way of an affordable graphical "leap" until then, (except maybe the Switch as mobile technologies seems to be advancing faster) Unless they find a real reason to release a new console, which Sony never do. If PS5 is here before 2023 then it is way too early.... again

Re: Reaction: Remembering PS3 - The Console That Wouldn't Quit

Shinobi1Kenoby

@playstation1995 I never said it wasn't.

I said dreamcast was better than PS2.

But I agree, MegaDrive had one of the best libraries and better than dreamcast. And by default genesis/megadrive is better than PS2. In terms of hardware though and new innovative and "leap" defining features. The dreamcast was better than genesis and PS2

Re: Reaction: Remembering PS3 - The Console That Wouldn't Quit

Shinobi1Kenoby

@Lovespuds no problem in differing.

It's just don't think it offers anything anywhere remotely near a "leap" in any terms whatsoever.

NES-to-SNES was a leap.
SNES-to-N64 was a HUGE leap.
N64-to-PS2 was a Leap.
PS2-to-PS3 was a leap.
PS3-to-PS4.......? Meh....

•Online gaming now NEEDS subscription.
•I can now RENT all the digital PS3 games I already own on PS3.
•Any movies I own??? I can stream them only. Can't download them.
•the controller is awful.
•it is noisey beyonf irritation Unless i rebuy a newer version.
•it's massive, hot as hell and weighs a tonne.
•graphically, it looks nicer, but it doesn't warrant a new generation, it's not a leap graphically.
PS3 - Uncharted 2 was unarguably STUNNING.
PS4 - Uncharted 4 looked like a nicer Uncharted 2.

The lack of games and constant remasters for 2 years; the heat, the noise, the broken disc ejectors and the "PRO edition" state nothing else but confirm PS4 was rushed to market before perfecting it.

Re: Reaction: Remembering PS3 - The Console That Wouldn't Quit

Shinobi1Kenoby

I still think the PS4 was a pointless half step up from PS3.

We've had to endure 3 years or remasters/reduxes/re-release garbage with very little original or inspired new content.

PS4 would have made more sense reading this year, toward Christmas. They released way too early and went too long offering nothing more than a shinier PS3. The PS3 was awesome and a far better console, the PS4 is just a cash cow and brings nothing to the table for gamers.

You have my sincere condolences PS3.

Re: Review: Full Throttle Remastered (PS4)

Shinobi1Kenoby

PS4..... land of the re-mastered/re-make/re-hash Playstation has always stood as the hub for everything is a sequel but this is getting ridiculous now.

Should probably expect The Last of Us re-re-mastered next year now.

Re: Poll: What's Your Most Anticipated PS4 Game of 2017?

Shinobi1Kenoby

@banacheck very happy thank you.

Don't mistake me as a Nintendo fanboy. I've played Playstation since 1998 and PS4 is THE most boring generation they've offered yet. Bored of it, tired of it, want something fresh and actually interesting.

Nintendo Switch does that in spades. I'm a sucker for NHL and PS4 is the better format over Xbox. Beyond that, there's shenmue to finally look forward to. Everything else is a sequel of a sequel of a sequel with nothing fresh, Playstation has been this way for too long now.

Re: Poll: What's Your Most Anticipated PS4 Game of 2017?

Shinobi1Kenoby

Disappointed with this list. Tonnes of boring same old same old.

Marvel Vs Capcom should be good, will religiously buy NHL 17 in September like usual and the roll out of new DLC on street fighter v this year, otherwise on PS4 for the whole year, I'm good.

The Nintendo Switch is about to consume my living room and demote the PS4. it can't arrive fast enough

Re: Poll: Does The Last Guardian Dazzle After a Decade?

Shinobi1Kenoby

Was interested when it was first unveiled. Since then I've seen and played 100s of new games and this game has fallen passed boredom into indifference and I really don't care about it in the slightest.

I watch the trailers and game plays videos for it and I find it boring and switch off before the end of the video normally.

A HUGE pass

Re: Preorder: Snare the Hottest PS4 Games, Hardware, and Accessories This Holiday

Shinobi1Kenoby

@kyleforrester87 flattered you read it.

Don't see what relevance that has on my point on this post though. Unless you're implying I'm "trolling" because My unwavering opinion on how appalling the PS4 disagrees with your self righteous opinion?

I've played PlayStation since tekken 3 and metal gear solid on PlayStation. My opinion is Sony is tired and the PS4 is the single worst entry in their hardware history they have ever "designed".

Re: PS4 Slumps to Third Successive NPD Defeat

Shinobi1Kenoby

Given that the new Xbox actually IS a smaller version of the huge original Xbox one, I can see original owners opting for it.

Given the slim PS4 is barely smaller than a standard PS4 .... where's the point. Admittedly it's a lot slimmer than the PS4 pro, but so is my car to be honest.

Sony have done appallingly this generation and basically done gaming a dis-service. un-inspired hardware, zero innovation and they have turned the home console hardware market into the 90's PC graphic card market.

Every gen ALWAYS brought something new to add to the experience and take it a leap forward, warranting you abandoning your 5-7 year hardware and library you'd built up and diving into newer and fresher waters.

This gen, Sony have offered a baby step forward and re-bagdged it as a new generation, left it for 2 years then given you a slightly smaller version and wondered why you're not buying it. Then they've upgraded the original hardware already.

Sony are a hardware selling machine and have no insight or rightful position in the gaming industry. Sega are and we're appalling, but their hardware was driven by a desire to deliver the software and pushing new boundaries, similar Nintendo. Sony and Microsoft have not got a clue and just keep ramming boxes full of PC hardware, blasting you with advertising campaigns and then gleefully watching the money rolling in.

The souls has literally drained from video games over the last 10 years and is approaching the same standard of pop music. 90's saw bands like Metallica and smashing pumkins in the top ten, artists. Now you see the same ten manufactured crap over and over.

Re: Review: Aragami (PS4)

Shinobi1Kenoby

Did anybody else see the screenshot and instantly think this was a Shinobi sequel using the same art style from the PS2 iteration?

I was first gutted that they'd opted for the worst looking version of Shinobi.

Then I was further gutted to find out that this wasn't Sega making their first correct step in over 15 years

Re: Video: Watch Us Unbox PlayStation VR

Shinobi1Kenoby

That does look awesome! Now I really want Playstation VR in my life!......

Oh no......

Wait.......

Na, got that wrong. Pointless garbage from Sony yet again. Chalk this off along with Move and saving my money for something worth spending on.

That is an awful LOT of rap for ONE peripheral.

Re: Poll: Will You Be Buying a PS4 Pro?

Shinobi1Kenoby

@ricklongo totally agree.
Personally I think there was barely any need for the PS4 when it released. Hence the 24 month of PS3 "remasters" of existing HD games.

Now the software has finally started being released for PS4 , we need a new PS4?????

Give it a rest Sony.

Some of this makes me think they need people to empty their pockets so they've none left for a dabble into NX. Sony definitely don't want another Wii situation on their hands.

Re: PS4 Pro Confirmed, Launches November 2016 for $399

Shinobi1Kenoby

And it's confirmed now more than ever as a waste of money for existing PS4 owners and further confirms the original PS4 was unnecessary and early.

Not yet playing ps4? Existing ps4 toasted? Get a pro.
Any other position? Waste of your hard earned cash.

COD infinite war looks a joke.

Andrew house sounds like a 10 year old girl.

Great show, most laughs I've had in a while

Re: PSN Down For Third Time in Two Weeks

Shinobi1Kenoby

Great!!! I've inly just got to 7th day of logging into HUT on NHL to get my daily pucks up to 1250 a day. That will thankfully now reset back down to 0 as will have missed my 24 hour window.
Cheers Sony, nice warning for maintenance.
