Re: PlayStation Communities Smartphone App Has Been Shut Down

andrewsqual

I can't believe they did this. I'm in a FFVII Remake group with over 2000 users and I was confused why yesterday, especially with the new Behind the Scenes video and all the new artwork and Wall market screens released, that there was hardly anyone commenting on the group.

Then I went into work this morning, fired up the app and got that msg. I won't even be able to post native image files to the community anymore since the version on PS4 only lets you attach images in your saved screenshots, it won't let you upload an image file directly from a USB.

There HAD to be a lot of people using it, more then on the actual PS4 system itself, which is far more awkward to type out msgs on then on a phone. I hope they don't screw up this PS5 update tomorrow with bad decisions like they did with this one.

And it's disgusting that not many websites will talk about this in 2019. But when Switch, for the last and a half years, is just barely keeping up with PS4 sales, people keep saying ridiculous things like "Switch is gonna overtake PS4 soon" lol.
The only great thing about Switch is that that it wasn't a massive blunder like Nintendo's 4 blunders, the SNES, N64, Gamecube and Wii U.

Re: Xbox Game Pass Boosts PS4's Share of The Outer Worlds' Sales in the UK

I hope all the Xbox fans are paying attention to this release. Or do they actually think Microsoft doesn't have total sales of this game for bother consoles. Remember, these PS4 sales are the type of sales they have to sacrifice if Obsidians next game skips PlayStation.
And if Xbox fans are failing to buy, OR play for 5 seconds on game pass, the Outer World's, Microsoft has a big decision to make going into next gen.

Re: Talking Point: Does Death Stranding's Non-Exclusivity Matter?

andrewsqual

I think it does a little. Now when PS5 launches, there won't be a significant enhancement version that will matter........ because it will already be on PC and better than PS5. They should have brought it to PC at least a year and a half later.

Plus, I hope there are no screw ups with the Decima engine and people find new Killzone or Horizon Zero Dawn 2 files hiding in it. What am I saying, of COURSE that is going to happen.

But I think other games like Spiderman should come to PC but at least 3 years later. That way more money can be made off the game but that reason to own a PlayStation console is still well justified.

Re: Soapbox: Why PS5's Reveal Event Will Rival E3 2015

andrewsqual

I think 2016 was better though. The amount of new games that were revealed with ingame trailers or just pure gameplay. Games like God of War, Spiderman, Death Stranding, Days Gone, AND then later that year at PSX we got Uncharted The Lost Legacy and TLOU Part II.

But yeah, the announcements at that E3 2015 were earth shattering lol.

Re: Feature: Burnout Needs to Bring Arcade Racers Back with a Bang

You used the wrong pictures. That isn't images of Burnout 2, the only Burnout you need to stop at to get your point across. Why show pictures of the first one made by the very people that KILLED Criterion Studios?

There will never ever be a great Burnout game ever again. You may as well be asking for new Dead Space, Populous, Mercenaries, Mass Effect games lol.

Re: Feature: All PS2 Classics That Must Come to PS4

Burnout 2. Burnout 3 was awful. We lost the amazing in house made soundtrack that dynamically changes when you burnout and instead got a garbage terrible early noughties crap bands. Also, how you unlocked new cars in the game was awful. 4 versions of the exact same car every time. The next best game after Burnout 2 was Revenge because the soundtrack was a little more tolerable and every single car you won was slightly faster then the last. Burnout 3's Crash mode was atrocious too, too many of them and just the same junctions used multiple times but slightly altered.

With that out of the way, this whole PS2 HD to PS4 thing was a failure. SO many games here that you listed and WHY did the not bring them to it, which again, we Burnout 3 couldn't because of the awful licensed soundtrack and a lot of other games on your list are probably held back by this too.

I like that you said Silent Hill Shattered Memories though. Also SH Origins. In fact, just about ANY PS2 game that came out after or around the PS3 launched because a lot of people moved on and never bothered with them............ even though PS3, at the time, could play a lot of them.
Games like Motorstorm Arctic Edge, Ratchet and Clank Size Matters and Secret Agent Clank, Jak and Daxter The Lost Frontier, GTA LC and VC Stories. And if Rockstar didn't bother with those last 2 when they bothered to bring over most of everything else, then we know we are never getting any more of these PS2 games. It seems 2K/Rockstar are the only ones that want our money when it comes to this.

Re: Insomniac Games Celebrates Sony Acquisition By Partying the Night Away

andrewsqual

Isn't there meant to be a new Ratchet and Clank in developement? Late last year or earlier this year, I remember somebody mentioning in a podcast somewhere that "Ratchet and Clank is not done yet this gen".
I wouldn't put it past Insomniac games to be able to announce a new game anytime in the next few months and have it out before PS5 next year.
The remake of the first game would have been out fast/sooner had they not had to actually WAIT for the silly movie to be ready. The game had to wait an extra 4 or 5 months so it could launch alongside the movie.
