Re: PSVR2 Isn't Backwards Compatible with PSVR Games, Sony Confirms

Trousersnake

@Sqush-Pare Yup, just like every new console replaces the predecessor and eventually stops receiving new titles. Difference is most consoles are backwards compatible, and you can play last-gen or even older stuff on your new machine. PS5 supports PSVR, so if you hold on to the old headset you'll be able to play those titles too. Jumping into VR on PS as a newbie means next year you can't play PSVR 1 games.(Unless you buy the old headset as well).

Re: Assassin's Creed Mirage Will Try to Bring Unity's Highly Praised Parkour System Back

Trousersnake

I grew tired of the franchise after the simultaneously released Unity and Rogue. I finished all the AC's before it, and albeit fun to play, the similarities in gameplay and copy-paste scenery in each one of them combined with the annual release turned me off. I know Origins and Odyssey innovated somewhat but not enough to get me engaged again. The smaller scope of Mirage and a return to the middle east setting got my attention again after years without AC, so maybe i will give this one a go if it turns out to be good. The focus on primarily assassinations and stealth, stripping all rpg'ness out of it reminds me of the first AC and i like that. I love rpg's but a ton of other titles also do the looting, crafting, farming, sidequests, levelling up etcetera. It will be fun to see how AC does without all that and if it needs it in the first place..

Re: Play Far Cry 6, Including Its DLC, for Free This Weekend

Trousersnake

Played for an hour or so, but decided to let the franchise rest. After FC 2, 3 and 4 it's enough of the same kind of gameplay, uninspired environments, the map with 1000+ icons and horrible graphics on PS5 that seem stuck in the PS3 era. I don't even want it for free Ubisoft, there are way better games to waste my time on!

Re: Sony Unveils PSVR2 User Experience, Including See-Through View, Customisable Play Area

Trousersnake

@UnlimitedSevens Hell yeah! This old geizer experienced a newfound love for the medium videogames alltogether, when flat gaming felt more and more stagnant and failed to impress with new and innovative stuff.. I burnt out on traditional gaming and VR came along exactly at the right time to light a spark that was gone for a long time. All hail the future of gaming, long live PSVR 2!!!

Re: Video: Does Battlefield 2042 Zero Hour Revitalise the PS5, PS4 FPS?

Trousersnake

@Boucho11 What remastered BF4 maps are you talking about? There are six remastered maps of BF3, BFBC 2 and BF 1942. They are already part of the main game when u switch the game mode to Conquest Exodus. Get your facts straight before complaining.

Ofcourse the addition of just one new map is pathetic after such a long time, but i'm happy that it turned out to be a banger.

Re: PSVR's Firewall Zero Hour Targets Tenth and Final Season

Trousersnake

Totally adored this game, i kept playing for three years straight or so, before loosing interest a bit eventually. Cool thing it's still gets some degree of support from the devs, i really should give it another go for oldtimes sake.. Maybe this weekend. Looking forward to the PSVR 2 project, that other game, Solaris couldn't grab my attention somehow unfortunately...🤷

Re: PS5 Stock Issues Could Last Into 2024 as Chip Shortages Continue

Trousersnake

I'm glad i decided to get one out of a scalper's hands last year.. The opportunity came by, the scumbag lives only a few kilometers away from me and his asking price was reasonable, all things considered. I got a sealed box with the receit, disc version, and he let it go for €650. Not being aware of the continuation of stockshortages all the way into 2024, i am even more thrilled i managed to get one! Ready for PSVR 2 baby!!😃

Re: Interview: Good Work, 47 - A Chat with the Voice Actors That Breathe Life into Hitman

Trousersnake

I think i have Hitman 2 for the PS2!! somewhere in my collection, but i recall finding it difficult and only completed a stage or 2-3. I got H3 a year ago because it has VR compatability, and redescovered the series completely! I purchased everything Hitman that is available in VR, H1, H2, H3 and some dlc. Made my way throughout H1 and H2, and the first two missions of H3 atm. The locations, the stealth, the variety in how to approach a target, combined with the most crispy clear, visually rich and throughout believable surroundings i have ever witnessed on a PSVR headset tethered to a PS5, is an amazing experience! Is this really the same device i got 4 1/2 years ago on base PS4, that left a good/capable, but also blurry first impression? Remarkable PSVR CAN actually acchieve this level of clarity! An addictive and captivating journey throughout, love the exploration element of the missions when first attempting to bits! The forced upon DS4 controls are the only letdown, but when played for hours straight i don't mind it too much anymore. What did the Moves do to be ignored completely? They get the job done for a lot of other VR Playstation games that have open environments and rely heavily on shooting, pickups, interacting with geometry and throwing projectiles towards npc's just as this game requires. Missed opportunity and kind of amaturish to just not even try..
Still, this is the best stealth based effort i tried on PSVR handsdown! A great descision to also release it for headsets, without i wouldn't have bothered playing H3 at all! Cheers!

Re: Max Payne 1 and 2 Remakes Coming to PS5

Trousersnake

I have the first one on the PS2, but i never finished it. I remember that it was brutally hard, not sure if it's just that or my lack of skill with the analogsticks back then. I played through MP3 when it released and i loved every bit, so much even that i dug up a copy of MP2 after that for Xbox and completed it on my Xbox360. I recall that it was kinda short, but had a cool story. No problems with aiming this time, MP3 and tons of other shooters before that had improved my skills apparently. Looking forward to finally beat MP1 with todays visuals and mechanics, that game was seriously dark in tone and atmosphere..

Re: Tiny Tina's Wonderlands (PS5) - Borderlands Fantasy Spin-Off Can't Quite Find the Magic

Trousersnake

I remember playing through Borderlands 1 and completed it, the artstyle felt fresh for a first person shooter/rpg set in an apocalyptic world back then. Borderlands 2 was fun too, it improved on many aspects of the first game and felt more 'alive' then part 1. I got the third one, BL The Pre-Sequel dirtcheap in a sale at the end of the PS3's lifecycle, but never got around it due to a call of local gamestore that my preordered PS4 had arrived. Never bothered to play BL 3 because it looked so similar to the others, and there were more appealing games available to waste my time on really.. This spinoff can't grab my attention too and the score reflects that perfectly. I got kind of tempted to try BL2 VR because i love PSVR and the Aim Controller, but i already played it flat so no deal. Maybe if PSVR 2 gets a VR overhaul of BL 3 i might not be able to resist it, but for now it i abandoned the series as a whole and i'm fine with that.

Re: Sony Showcases Prototype 4K OLED Microdisplay for Virtual Reality

Trousersnake

@thefourfoldroot I ditched Xbox One the last generation in favour of PSVR. It's a seperate platform with an equally (relatively) steep pricetag and it's own library. I used to buy every new console from the big three manufacturers, but if one had to go, it's Xbox. Grew up on Nintendo and Zelda is my favorite game series of all time, and also a Metroid or Mario is eventually a bigger deal to me than Halo or something like Gears. I own my PSVR for four years now and am still amazed by the tech and innovation it adds to the gameplay. I still play 'flat' ofcourse, but VR games are the priority nowadays. No brainer i will buy PSVR2, and maybe even a Xbox Series X/S years from now to play the Bethesda stuff. Maybe..

Re: Skyrim Anniversary Edition Detailed, Special Edition Owners Get Four Creation Club DLCs for Free

Trousersnake

Aaand.. Skyrim VR gets no love? It would benefit even more from a PS5 update, and for me and probably others as well i wouldn't have even played it at all without that VR part. I tried Oblivion back in the day and concluded i didn't like it, as i'm no big fan of fantasy rpg's most of the time. I gave Skyrim a try because there are almost no big rpg-style games for PSVR, and i must say i'm hooked for close to two years now! It suits me way better than Oblivion because of that northern medieval/viking setting and it's just a blast to traverse all those creepy caverns and dungeons bulking with atmosphere. I find it dissapointing the announced update doesn't seem to take the VR version into account, why exactly is beyond me.. It's hands down the best way to experience it in my book. Again, i couldn't have bothered with the pancake version. Ever. There are more like me, Bethesda. Make it happen!

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Updates and Free DLC Pushed Into 2022, Unsurprisingly

Trousersnake

@Arisen I wasted 220 hrs on it, doing every quest and a LOT of exploring, climbing and trying to find accessible buildings and hidden area's. The atmosphere of Night City is brilliant and the city is so damn well designed i think. Shame it was relatively empty, it could have way more events, activities and mini games to keep you busy in between quests and after completion. Good thing we'll be getting more story dlc eventually, i will gladly dive back in!
