Re: PS5 Is Still At Least Two Years Away, Says Ubisoft

bbq_boy

I use to care about longevity of a console. However getting the Pro has radically changed me. I really dig better graphics and performance over vanilla PS4. Well worth the upgrade cost path. So here's my head in the cloud dream... PS5 is bigger and better BUT also plays my current library of PS4 games. If PS5 came out in 12months time I'd get one. Just sell my current console and upgrade up baby!

Re: Video: Huge PlayStation VR Hands On with The Inpatient, DOOM VFR, More

bbq_boy

I was getting jealous whilst watching your Skyrim VR preview! That's a first for me! When you mentioned incredible scale, I thought that's it I gonna get one as soon as there's a UK bundle similar to US. I've also watched a gamespot demo of VR and the guy was having the time of his life! He was screaming like a girl he was having so much fun! Just hope the bundle is under £400 pls pls. It's amazing to finally see VR games which have massive replayability so we can choose to pour hundreds of hours into! The other games also looked fun and interesting. Ah 2018 feels like an expensive gaming year lol yes!

Re: Guide: PS4 Pro vs Xbox One X - Which One Should You Buy?

bbq_boy

I do have a friend who's interested in the X cos he bought planet earth 2 to be wowed by the 4k visuals. Disappointed that my ps4 pro couldn't play 4k bluray. But that's the crazy thing. He wants it as a 4k player first with options to play games later. However he has a mighty PC rig and does 100% gaming on that. I think it's great that we have competition as it's now up to Sony to give gamers the next best console. I'm smelling proper hi-fidelity 4k VR, VR gen 2 (wireless, lighter, even more stylish), full 4k on PS5! Ah fantasies!

Re: Hands On: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Has Improved Massively with PlayStation VR

bbq_boy

I'm really loving the build up to Skyrim VR. I've already played it on PC and PS4. And be happy to play it again in VR. This is the one game I'm hoping will break the 'VR experiences' and turn VR into huge adventures. For me gaming virtual worlds translates as huge open world not theme park worlds. As for the motion sickness thingy... When Quake first came out I remember my mates and family getting sick not being use to 3D movement. Now 3D gaming is the norm. I believe VR is at the pinnacle of a revolution just like what Doom and Quake did for gaming. Come on VR!

Re: Microsoft May Bring First-Party Franchises to PlayStation in the Future

bbq_boy

Somehow I can't help but feel a bit worried about Microsoft trying to get onto the PlayStation platform acting like it's the 'good guy' trying to bring crossplay to everyone. Why? Primarily it comes down to a company's motives... Yes Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo are all in it for the money but it's the games which the studios have produced in the past 15 odd years that sway me and help me choose. Would Microsoft had produced a locoroco? A little big planet game? How about Bloodborne or Horizon Zero Dawn? Journey or God of War? Sony have shown time and time again that they let the creative juices flow with freedom and support with in-house and third party friends/partners. Microsoft mainly stick to 'safe' genres as long as they make money. Sony takes gambles and are happy to 'experiment' and take gamble with new tech like PSVR. If Microsoft brings games to PlayStation then cool. But would they also bring along the propaganda thing of 'we're the good guys now championing gamers platforming' and thereby divide the PlayStation community? A divided community means less bucks to Sony and therefore less budgets to carry on bringing us the amazing exclusive experiences we've enjoyed on playstation since PS1 days? Halo, Gears on PlayStation would be cool. But a world without playstation and it's class 1st studios not so cool.

Re: Guide: PS4 Pro vs PS4 - Which One Should You Buy?

bbq_boy

I got suckered happily into buying a 49" LG 4k HDR tv for only £410 at Easter. Then sold my ps4 slim and upgraded to a PS4 pro. Games and Netflix look friggin awesome in 4k - the colours, the cinema rich feeling. All the games look stunning and run superbly. If you plan to play ps4 games for next 2 years and enjoy a visual and performance ride highly recommend PS4 pro. But if u can't fit a big screen in your room or a bit skint ps4 slim is still not bad.... Haha nope PS4 pro all the way! When I bung in a slightly better graphics card in my PC I love how games feel better too!

Re: PS4 Has Shipped 67.5 Million Units, Sony Increases Forecast

bbq_boy

Lol I remember some bigwigs in industry predicting death of consoles like Pachter. Just shows great products are loved by great people like gamers! And gamers always have the final voice in voting with our pockets. Oh and great developers will always produce great games. 100million PS4's sold is just around the corner! Maybe 2018/19.

Re: Sony Wants to Make PlayStation Plus Even More Attractive to Members

bbq_boy

Charge me something so I can change my PSN name please dammit! Anyway, how about each month Sony releases 10 songs from games which we get to choose three for free, download and play on our ps4/ps3/vita or smart device (via PlayStation app) as MP3? I love listening to game music whilst I work, commute or chilling at home. Eg. Music taken from Final fantasy 7, God of war, Call of duty, secret of mana, patapon, Uncharted, etc. 8-bit and all the way up to modern scores. It's still game related.

Re: EA Moving to More Monetisable Open World Games

bbq_boy

Ouch someone definitely isn't the norm for splashing out $15,000 on game monetisation. Most I've spent is probably £10 and that's cos it's on a freemium game that I pumped hours into and DECIDED the publishers SHOULD be paid for their hard work. BTW.. Can Disney not outsource the single player campaign to Sony, and maybe Sony can build the game? That would be every gamers dream right! Star Wars written by Amy on PS4! I smell 10million copies! Cash cow!

Re: God of War Director Speaks Out in Defence of Single Player Games

bbq_boy

If a game is excellent will it matter if it's single player or multiplayer? Surely gamers will buy it anyway. And where EA won't go, won't it mean one less competitor in the single campaign market? Saying it's the end of single player games is like the doomsayers saying consoles are dead about a decade ago! Where greatness is produced... Great gamers follow!

Re: Microtransactions Are Being Implemented in the Scariest of Ways

bbq_boy

Not to worry some people say. It's a choice so don't buy it some people say. Well try and put yourself into families who have kids and are struggling to pay the bills, yet at the same time want their kids to you know keep up with the joneses. "Mum dad Bob has a glitzy lasergun can I have one pls! Only a buck or pound here and there." Do you think we'd have obesity epidemic if junk food wasn't so freely available?

Re: Destiny 2 Retail Sales Down a Whopping 50 Per Cent in USA

bbq_boy

Waiting for GOTY for me as with any game nowadays. Indulged £100 before but such a fool I was. Patience and waiting for it to go on sale feels so much better nowadays especially when £70 saved can be spent on doing much more other things. I want to play the game! But not being a mug anymore.

Re: Ratings Board Rules That Loot Boxes in Games Aren't a Form of Gambling

bbq_boy

You know there are tons of games released every year. I still have a backlog that extends back to Xbox, PS3, 3DS/DS, PC, vita and over 20 uncomplete games on PS4. I see loot box as a positive thing cause it means this mechanic is a turn off! Yep just like DLC, season passes, pay-to-win. I haven't bought a street fighter this gen (although purchased every gen since SNES days cos of incompleteness and dlc carrot infront of donkey mechanic), not bought an EA game since Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2 (horrible loot mechanic to win parts of a costume!). Destiny 2, Shadows of Mordor are crossed of my want list. And if battlefront 2 has loot boxes and is unfair (ie. Pay to get high level gear through tier 1 loot chests) or just too grindy yep this isn't added to my wishlist too. Just vote with your wallets fellow gamers.

Re: Gran Turismo Sport Outlines Car Classes in Super Slick Trailer

bbq_boy

@RedMageLanakyn not stalking buddy, just curious why you are hating a game so much without it even being released yet. You scared me! And being an open forum, isn't all of our comments history visible. Hint.. It's open forum. Feel free to check mine too as I'm not sensitive to what I've said before! We all say things in the past, some honest, some stupid, some with regret (I've said silly things too! And hopefully apologised to whomever for saying them). But isn't it worth checking out a comment or review and test to see if they're biased or not? Your comment gave the impression of disliking this new GT without even testing it. Is this true or not? And since you hit below the belt by bringing up my parents. I won't do that to your parents as I love mine probably as much as you love yours. But you're comment is creepily similar to IPhone fanboys who automatically dislike any android phone that comes out even if the Android is better or good. Stay frosty dude. Peace😊

Re: Gran Turismo Sport Outlines Car Classes in Super Slick Trailer

bbq_boy

@get2sammyb I'd ignore redmageforza if I was you! If you look at his comments April 2017 he clearly states he never liked Gran Turismo since GT1 and always preferred Forza or project cars. Can't reason with diehard fanboys! I know a ninty fanboy who says horizon graphics don't come anywhere near mario 64! Pure madness! Wisdom says argue with a fool and you get dragged to their level😆

Re: PlayStation Chief Andrew House Leaves Sony After Over 25 Years

bbq_boy

Wow a sad day for PlayStation. But what an achievement to see a brand grow from strength to strength. Sticking to the DNA of a gaming brand purely for the gamers and not diverting to or tempted by cashcows from other forms of entertainment. Wish him and his family a happy and successful new start on his journey to new pastures. God bless you and thanks for giving us the best console and most friendliest optimistic gaming community in the world with
the most diverse range of games to suit every taste 😊

Re: Single Player Games Are Really Struggling Right Now

bbq_boy

Hmmm... So single player focused sequels such as a new skyrim 2, red dead redemption 2, witcher 4, last of us 2, grand theft auto 5 or tomb raider 3, new final fantasy 7 won't do well? Not so sure on that. Marvel v capcom infinite is multiplayer focused and that didn't do too well. What about Lawbreakers or battleborn? Perhaps it's just down to the quality of the game... Maybe Agent's of mayhem was missing the killer hook which blockbusters enjoy?

Re: Gran Turismo Sport's Ultimate Vision McLaren Is Like a Bloody Tron Cycle

bbq_boy

Cool concept guess I have to wait and see how it drives. OK this has been bugging me for years. The speed of GT cars seems slow... Can polyphony give an option to play game at x1.5 or x2 speed pls. When it first came out on PS1 it was awesome and it felt fast. But in today's world the game hasn't caught up to what constitutes as a fast driving and fun game! I couldn't get into the last 2, although graphically gorgeous were actual yawn fests. Bring fun and adenine rush back into racers will ya?! If it stays a true boring driving simulator my wallet stays shut.

Re: Gearbox Basically Admits Borderlands 3 Is in Full Production

bbq_boy

Pls pls don't make it as trashy as the pre-sequel. I loved the first one and one protagonist, Jack, in borderlands 2 doing trash talk was okayish but borderlands pre-sequel went OTT. If they plan to up the stakes in foul mouth humour gimme a filter profanity so I can blast nmes without hearing it pls. Else happy to avoid this and spend my pounds elsewhere!

Re: First PS4 Pro and Xbox One X Comparison Fares Unfavourably

bbq_boy

I'll just wait for PS5 announcement next year at E3 (maybe!) and check out the tomb raider comparison then. Then move my PSN ecosystem (plus hundreds of exclusives) to the new system... Which will probably still be cheaper than xbx 😆 As a gamer I always go for the console with most triple A top rated games over a bit of better tech. Horizon, Uncharted 4, Bloodborne speaks louder then a xbx 4k with nothing exclusive or decent to show for it.
