Re: Xbox Gamers Are More Hardcore Than PlayStation, Says Microsoft

bbq_boy

So if a gamer plays for more hours than another player it's called hardcore? Perhaps smaller game library to choose from forces you to spend more time on a few games, thus you're hardcore. If I eat macdonalds everyday (cos lack of choice or unwilling to try out new foods) I'd be call hardcore but that doesn't make me a better foodie! I'd rather play and experience loadsa games from all types of genres across all types of consoles than be pidgeon-holed into a narrow minded hardcore gamer. Yeuch!

Re: PS5 Will Launch Late 2019, Says Japanese Analyst

bbq_boy

@PS_Nation yeah funny enough a 'Mobile' game developer said the same thing 9 years ago, how out of touch huh? (of course he wants consoles to die out cos his company spent all their money on mobile development! Trolls always want their tech to succeed and others to fail not realising competition is great for business and spurs team to do better) https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2011-03-14-console-gaming-is-dying-says-angry-birds-boss. Sorry bud but consoles will be around a long time cos they're the only place to play blockbuster games with blockbuster graphics, blockbuster stories, multiplayer, music and an even tech spec playing ground at an affordable price.

Re: PSVR Passes Three Million Units Milestone

bbq_boy

@GKO900 the big question is are the early adopters enjoying it? I sure am! Will they part with as they feel its a useless piece of tech? I love it - won't part with it (gaming and tv/movie streaming). Can PSVR 2.0 improve when PS5 comes out? Sure why not... Take a look at how dualshock PS3 has evolved into the PS4 dualshock today. Few things which could make PSVR 2.0 a must have... Sharper graphics and power, lighter cooler designs for headset and leads free! 3million owners are helping to shape the future of VR! Worth celebration buddy

Re: Bethesda Defends Legal Action Against a Man Who Tried to Resell a Game

bbq_boy

Um... Amazons own words:
Video Games
New video games: A brand-new, unused, unopened video game in perfect condition in its original packaging and with all original packaging materials included.
https://sellercentral.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/external/200339950?language=en-GB&ref=mpbc_3149161_cont_200339950

Methinks someone's gonna get fired at Bethesda for this outburst mistake. The seller can sue for slander or what such... Good luck to the common man!

Re: Streaming Devices Will Kill Traditional Consoles Within the Next 10 Years, Says EA

bbq_boy

10 years - that's a very long time. Brexit... no one saw that coming 10years ago or anyone predicting it. In 10 years 'anything' can change. Game streaming might be coming but I do know something if it happens, I choose not to pay £9 to access EA, nor £9 for Ubisoft, or £9 for another developer unless they have truly something special. If it happens I'd probably dive back into the uncompleted games I own! (over 150 across non-streaming consoles and PC)

Re: Capcom's Having a Great Year Off the Back of Monster Hunter: World's Huge Success

bbq_boy

Nice one Capcom. How about a new Ghost n Goblins adventure similar to From Software Demon's Soul engine? Tough as nails but with a bit of ye old humor... Missed the way the Knight was getting battered to eventually reveal his underwear! And how about Dragon's Dogma 2 sequel with co-op/solo mode and fast travel, and more variety on monsters small and large ?! Elderscrolls online is a good example of MMO Good luck for 2018/19

Re: EA Is Considering Free-to-Play Games After Fortnite's Success

bbq_boy

Is it the free to play element of Fortnite which makes it a success? Or could it be the actual creative genius of shooting, looting and building? It's cartoon style graphics? And it's accessibility to young people, etc? Whereas Battlefield is more about military violence and realism, photo realistic graphics, mature and is typically more simulation and technical?

Re: Layoffs at Evolution Studios After Onrush Bombs

bbq_boy

Hmmm.... Maybe arcade style racing just aren't as exciting or as in-depth as an FPS or RPG which has stash of loot, character building and home building? I find pressing left and right, possibly brake every now and then a bit simple...

Re: Shuhei Yoshida Wishes Sony Was More Successful at Making Multiplayer Games

bbq_boy

Haha simples Shu! Just hire talent who've worked on blockbuster successful MP games before and build a new studio focused it! Guerilla took that chance and changed from KZ to the story telling blockbuster HZD with new member from ex-fallout pedigree. I mean look at blizzard, they're able to tell fantastic stories, creating totally new lore and excel at single/multiplayer (more nowadays). Sony gaming division is loaded with cash atm so why not hire the big guns from MP studios lol!

Re: Poll: What Do You Think of Photo Mode?

bbq_boy

The Order 1886 had a great photo mode and I took lots of snaps of an alt Victoria age! When the games are exchanged or sold I sometimes look back at the photos and think, 'Yeah that was when airship was on fire and...' It'd be pretty cool in 10 years time to compare photos of then and now. Helps me practice my photography and composition skills!

Re: Amy Hennig Leaves EA, Goes Independent

bbq_boy

Without any evidence of old vs new version of the Star Wars game is it possibly to give a factual opinion? Anyways, I do wish success to Amy, ex-members at Visceral and EA Vancouver. What I can see is that from one failed project, three (possibly more gaming studios) are born! That's more games to choose from in future. More for the gamers!

Re: Talking Point: How Much Does Cross-Play Matter to You?

bbq_boy

Rofl!! So can we see steam arrive on PS4/PS5 in the near future? Why I'm sure Microsoft would love that open community. Imagine this if the news broke out on the streets, "Hey dude don't bother buying a £600-£1200 PC, just grab yourself a PS5 and access all your PC games!" can you imagine Intel, Nvdia, logitech, razr (hardware) etc sweating their pants off as players leave the PC bandwagon?

Re: Why Ninja Theory's Leaving PlayStation

bbq_boy

After the weird enslaved trippy part of game and then hellblade going all schizophrenic... It seemed to me ninja theory was trying maybe a tad too hard to be 'different'... Like the kids who draw black circles in the dark weird places, whilst everyone is out in the daylight having fun. Hope they find their mojo with Microsoft and hit the right notes with their next game.

Re: Talking Point: Do We Really Need E3?

bbq_boy

I love E3. It makes me feel like Xmas (but for adults!). The anticipation. The late night crawl to walk the next day. The games to add to an ever huge library! It's also a start/end of a gaming cycle for me. Lovely jubbly!

Re: You'll Be Able to Watch the 2018 World Cup Via Your PlayStation VR Headset

bbq_boy

@Hengist dude the PSVR resolution is Full HD (two eyes combined lol!). Most people on the planet are still watching TV in full HD or HD ready. Here in UK 72% of owners (Feb 2018) are full HD/hd ready. If the stats are true, then PSVR is higher resolution than all the HD ready owners and PSVR has built in 3D too and 3D sound! If you haven't watched netflix, movies, YouTube on PS VR in full cinema mode you're missing out on a IMAX experience it's truly awesome dude! Here's link to stats: https://www.statista.com/statistics/387729/market-share-of-hdtv-and-hd-ready-tv-sets-in-the-uk/. At the most in rich countries 4k is only owned by 20% of viewers. 4K has been affordable since 2013 and tbh only 20% market share in 5 years is well not bad. June days of PlayStation sale is coming! Highly recommend getting a PS VR for cheap £200! (half a weeks salary!) Then if you don't likey sell it after a month for £200 second hand - cost you nothing to trial it for a month!

Re: Sony: We're Exploring What Our Customers Want from Portable Gaming

bbq_boy

Rebirth of the PSP2... screen size of switch/Ipad mini. Has exactly same physical controls of dualshock (so all games from ps1 to ps5+ are identical). Or we can bluetooth link a dualshock to the PSP2 tablet! Can use cheap industry standard micros SD cards so if we own a PS4 or future PS5+ games, the same game can be downloaded onto a 100GB card (at no cost like switch!). PSP2 a must to have access to Google play store. I want to watch netflix, stream Spotify, watch YouTube, browse Internet, socialise on snapchat, even play angry birds, etc. Removable battery so if I'm on a 6 hour journey can charge a second whilst using first battery. Touch screen identical to tablets, no need for rumble or back end swipe gimmicky thing! Option to buy memory card version of game which is identical to console version, incase some owners don't want to own a large console (here's looking at you Japanese owners!). Switch has done this part right methinks! A UI that's slick like PS4 or basically exactly like PS4/PS5+. Similar price to switch! Can it also make American pancakes in the morning pls!

Re: Sony Could At the Very Least Remember to Refresh PS Vita's Store

bbq_boy

... And that's where I give my huge thanks to Pushsquare and all the other game sites. Cos without you guys giving us decent reviews/news/previews I wouldn't know about any new vita games. Now you mentioned stardew Valley on ps vita I'm getting it!

Yeah I agree with gaming community, ps vita support sucks really bad in the UK. the download section is seriously daft. I mean why isn't there a filter so I can only view vita games! And searching the store doesn't display the keywords I've typed in eg. Rpg. And why oh why must screen go dark after a few seconds when I'm watching a cutscene (no dark screen pls!). However I love my ps vita

Re: God of War Surpasses 5 Million Units in a Month

bbq_boy

Nice one GoW/Santa Monica! Congrats on the revival of the franchise and yay another top selling blockbuster single player story driven campaign!! I think I'm starting to fit these blockbuster games in the same category as my fave movies. Watch a couple of times/play a couple of times - but wow what a frikkin amazing time, every moment is delicious and compelling til the very end.
