Re: Looks Like DOOM 64 Is Getting a Native PS5 Port

Superstar74

I'd play it again, especially if it's free like the recent doom/doom 2 upgrade. What a pleasant surprise it was when i played it for the first time on ps4, not only what felt like the real doom 3, but a spiritual successor to the ps1 doom, with its amazing soundtrack. It did away with the silly rock music which I always mute, and changed it to some brilliantly bizarre stuff, like babies crying in the background.

Re: Classic PS4 Racer DriveClub Is Now a Decade Old

Superstar74

My favourite ever driving game and sonys biggest cock up dumping evolution. I've played all the teams games since disbanded and they've all been great, but drive club was their masterpiece. I will say though I was late to ps4 so the game arrived with me fully formed and all dlc aside from vr on board.
No other driving game has made me laugh with joy at performing a perfect drift overtaking two other cars on a corner. Some of the tracks were genius in their design, not being held back by real world locations or tracks.
The rain effects have never been bettered ten years later.....it was and is astonishing.
Please sony for the love of God get the team back together and get them to do a full remaster of this and the motorstorm trilogy please.

Re: PLAY, the Last Bastion of PlayStation Print Media, Has Reached Its Final Issue

Superstar74

Gonna miss games mags. There's been some classics over the years, for me going back to your sinclair. Bought psm religiously for years, and to someone strapped for cash, demo discs were great. Bought play alot too. I used to spend hours in the magazine aisles, and got told off once or twice ' buy something or leave ' 🤣
Anyway, best of luck to everyone and hope they all have good jobs lined up x

Re: PS5 Pro Announced, Costs $700 and Out in November

Superstar74

Absolutely no, never. Why would I spend 700 on an upgrade with little discernable difference.....but also give up a disc drive? I don't want a separate drive sat next to it adding clutter, it's not the same as adding an extra ssd internally which I have done.
I hope this fails, otherwise discless consoles will be fast tracked.
I defend Sony a lot, I am very loyal and have owned every mainline console (no pro versions), the only other time I've really criticised is their handling of Evolution studios, but this is laughable.
Hang your head Sony

Re: PS5 Pro Showcase Set for Tomorrow, Hosted by Mark Cerny

Superstar74

I'm sorry I just don't get the need for a pro console mid cycle. Gone are the days now when developers would wring every last drop of power from a games machine, so what you were seeing 7 years on blew away what was at launch.
I know they are not technically dividing their community like xbox, but why not just save the money on development costs and work on downsizing the current machine.
Leave the tech guys to take their time and work on ps6. Why salivate over this when the full power of the Og model has yet to be fully unlocked

Re: Reaction: PlayStation Needs to Take a Long, Hard Look at Itself

Superstar74

I hope they learn from this. The market is saturated with online multi player shooters. Who thought this was going to be any different?
Give people what they actually want and they will buy it. This'll hurt sonys pride alot more than it will hurt us though. It will be forgotten in a few weeks.
Basically kiss capcoms ass and stay best buds with them, keep giving us great horror games and open world games, quirky indies and great platformers. Xbox is utterly in their pocket, and Nintendo are almost a different market.

Re: Astro Bot PS5 Took 60 Developers Around Three Years to Make

Superstar74

Very very smart bringing out a little free dlc for the preinstalled game. I 100%ed it very quick, loved every minute then moved on. I'd forgotten how brilliant it was.
It was on my sons ps5 so have started going through whole thing again.
I think this is a day one for me, they deserve my money

Re: PS5 Platformer Astro Bot Will Have 80 Action-Packed Levels

Superstar74

This looks brilliant, what a fabulous trailer. This is what video games should be all about....no micro transactions, no politics, just pure brilliant gameplay.
Having the mini game bundled with the console was a small stroke of genius, its something you just have to play. I might otherwise have not considered this but now I'm all in

Re: Capcom Making Resident Evil 0, Code Veronica Remakes Next, Reports Say

Superstar74

Lots of silly RE rumours lately, last week it was re1 remake, now its Code Veronica and re0, previously it was open world re9.
I don't believe any of these headline grabbers.
I personally hope they do do Veronica I've never played it, and I hope they don't avoid re5 because of the Africa setting. Funny how no-one was bothered with all the previous games white zombies

Re: Reaction: Why You Shouldn't Worry Too Much About PS5's Year-on-Year Decline

Superstar74

PlayStation will be fine for at least a couple more generations. Their brand loyalty achieved is off the chart, and people wish to keep their trophy lists etc.
They are not really in competition with Nintendo and Microsoft have lots of money but no sense.
In general Sony mean well, they just need to bring down those development times and make games less massive.
Capcom have the right idea.....smaller games you actually want to replay.
Sony would have to do something monumentally bad to lose me, and it will probably only be my embarrassment at playing games at my age that will stop me!
The one thing I don't understand is the need for pro versions mid console cycle. Why not save the development costs, and continue to refine the current consoles abilities?

Re: Poll: Is God of War Ragnarok Still One of Sony's Best Games, One Year Later?

Superstar74

I was ever so slightly disappointed with the first one. Parts of it were epic, but I found the post game exploration a grind. The pseudo open world didn't work for me at all. I am very proud of beating the Valkyrie queen and getting the plat however, she was well hard and I haven't got the reflexes any more!
I may get Ragnorak at some point but its a fair way down the list

Re: Gran Turismo 7 Promises Major PS5, PS4 Update Next Week

Superstar74

I think they should stop giving away cars in updates now. Their resources are being taken up when they could be producing new or classic tracks.
It's only a small grumble mind, polyphony have given away a fantastic amount for free, I platinumed it long ago and still play it regularly. This is one instance where I would happily pay for some dlc with several tracks and new single player content.

Re: PlayStation Allegedly Under Pressure to Make Major Gaming Acquisitions

Superstar74

I think Sony are doing just fine. They can't compete with Microsoft so do your own thing.
Bethesda have learned nothing.....couldn't even get starfield right, whereas Sony hoovered up Balders gate .
What have Microsoft bought with Activision that is soooooo amazing that was worth stupid billions? Do they really think loyal ps owners are going to jump ship to play cod?
Sony have earned my loyalty I'm not going anywhere.
If they could tie down anyone however, it would be capcom.
