Re: Talking Point: Does PS5 Have a Sequel Problem?

Slippship

I'd say we have more of a remake/remaster issue personally. Mind you RE4 was a cracker and the Thing brought back some of the PS2 greatness. The only sequel I have finished is Horrizon. With 7 basic plots nearly every game we've seen this gen is overcoming the monster, and that is the staple of nearly all games and tbh I kinda like that.

Re: Valve's Steam Machine May Not Be As Affordable As a PS5

A lot of you guys weren't born or old enough to know what is was when I bought a PlayStation after Nintendo threw sony to the dogs. I've had at least one of each generation. But I've gone and bought a PC as PS5 didn't have a racing sim I liked, and Elite Dangerous left consoles behind. I then got a steam deck to take away and I play ALL the games I did on PS5 or PS4, mainly single-player. I would rather have a machine now I think as my PC is too gaudy for the living room and I'm not desperate for Ray tracing and 4K. There will be more like me who are the perfect audience for Steam Machine, have been drawn into the fantastic Steam ecosystem. Playstation may get a slot on the shelf but this gen has pushed me away when most of those I would buy play well enough for me on deck. Haven't bought a new game for PS5 since cyberpunk. Plus extra is enough.

I have a deck, I used it docked whilst away at sea because the PS5 generated too much heat in my cabin, mad as that sounds, and I would quite happily put a steam machine with its open eco system in my living room. It will increase the longevity of PSVR2 hopefully in that space as I only use it with pc now. Steam is a very good way to play and without Windows getting in the way I just hope it's not bonkersly priced.

Re: PS5 Surpasses Lifetime PS3 Sales in the US

@REALAIS Not even close to what I was saying. Sales wise is great, been a PS guy since 96 and seeing it beat PS3 is good. My 60gb ps3 is still going. I'm just a little unsure that PS5 has ever met expectations. My day 1 box is still hammered by all of us but mainly PS5 games that are also on PS4. It's only just being released on its own in the wild without games going PS4 too holding it back. I'm not being negative, just my observations. Being released in a global pandemic hasn't helped.

Ps5 to me is just a ps4 in different clothes. It's not done enough on its own yet, ps4 owners still not wanting to make the jump. Something to be said for stopping backwards compatability. Not that I want that removed... heavens that would be awful.

Dual shock 3 still gives me nightmares... 😂

Re: Talking Point: PS6 In 2027 - How Do You Feel About Sony's Next-Gen Console?

@Maverick85 60 fps for me.is fine. My pc only has a 1080 monitor on purpose but can run into 150 plus fps. I really can't tell. But I believe the playstation 5 can still have better games if they'd left ps4 years ago, I'm no programmer but I remember what happened when ps3 was left behind. I work on big marine engineering and leave micro stuff to the gurus. And enjoy what I can.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS1 at Launch?

Changed my perception on what games were about to become. I remember my mum dissing destruction Derby as you could see the road joins. The first GT, and having to brake! Pandemonium's scale when zooming out. But my faves remain tekken 3, soul blade and Discworld 2. And a fond remembrance of RR T4.
