Re: UK Sales Charts: PS4 Favourite inFAMOUS: Second Son Shines at Summit

Weskerb

@get2sammyb Right! I think people have realized that it's not like there was a shortage of great FPSs available anyway. With new DLC packages dropping for the other major franchises, attention seems to have moved on quickly. It's a crowded market and EA really could have done with the extra support the PS4 would have given them

Re: Talking Point: Are We Starting to Expect Too Much from PlayStation Plus?

Weskerb

Like a few others here, I have been subscribed to PS Plus since they were giving away a PSN game, a mini, a crappy theme, a PSone classic no one wanted and a piece of DLC for a game I'll never own. And that was only for PS3! The service has come a long way since then and it is definitely worth it to me.

On the other hand I can see why people are complaining, once you're given something you like, you want it again and again. That's not always going to happen, in fact the quality of games offered might fall, it really depends on whether the publishers actually felt the benefits of releasing their games on Plus on not. I suspect that they didn't lead to as many follow on sales as they were hoping for, in some cases, so we might not see the likes of AC and Saints Row on there again.

Re: DriveClub Developer Evolution Studios Struck by Layoffs

Weskerb

We're not losing a lot IMO. It's not like any of the games these studios made were essential to Sony. For whatever reason the best games are being made by the likes of EA and Ubisoft. Sony needs to get better at hiring and managing their talent to make games like assassins creed and battlefield. Then they'd be making real profit.

Re: Sassy FPS Borderlands 2 Is Coming to Vita Sooner Than You Think

Weskerb

I'm playing through this on PS3 as part of the PS Plus offerings. The performance is hardly great on PS3 so I have to wonder how it will run on Vita. If it runs well and the DLC is availabe too I'm interested.

Also, this made me laugh; "her game love knows no bounds – and neither does her backlog."

I don't know why exactly.

Re: Soapbox: Sony Is Depriving Players of the Optimal PS Vita Experience

Weskerb

I have a 16gb card and I don't really have a problem deleting games I've got bored with. I can always download them again if I want. Remote playing Assassins Creed 4 is just about the best use of my Vita at the moment, though I do really appreciate it for long journeys as well. Time flies playing Pixeljunk monsters with a good gaming podcast playing through the Music app at the same time.

Re: GamesCom 2013: This Is the Launch Window Lineup for the PS4

Weskerb

Watchdogs is the winner. But i'm also interested in Killzone and Driveclub, it depends how much they are a step up from their last gen offerings. I'm always interested in COD and Assassins, but I could quite easily play them on PS3 instead, and I doubt I would be losing much.

Re: Whoa, This Is How The Last of Us Almost Ended

Weskerb

I was very happy with the ending, in fact I thought it was one of the best parts of the game. So subtle and understated, but at the same time powerful and memorable. And this coming from the team that threw in blue mutants at the end of their last game! Actually I didn't mind that to much in U2, but it still shows that Naughty Dog have evolved greatly.

Re: Talking Point: Do You Intend to Buy the PS4's Camera?

Weskerb

I'm not a big fan of having cameras around my TV. I've got the PS Eye and Move, but they're not very useful. KillZone 3, Resistance 3 and RE5 were good, but if you want to be doing the harder levels or multi-player then it's much better with the regular controller.

Re: Talking Point: Do Single Player Focused Games Really Need Multiplayer?

Weskerb

Also. Thanks for introducing me to PSNprofiles! My rarest trophy is Wipeout - Fury Campaign Legend, which I don't remember being difficult at all. Less than 4% get it, maybe some people were happier playing multiplayer than seeing the SP campaign through to the end

Can anyone answer this question: Why do PSNprofiles amount of owners for games seem so low. BLOPS 2 has most owners with only half a million. Something tells me they have a sample size issue as that game, plus many more, sold millions, not thousands.
