Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Is Out for PS5 on 24th October

belmont

Of course you need the power of next gen to play those old games. There is no way the games would run the the PS4. You need the cutting edge technology of the Switch and the SSD of the PS5 to play them.

I don't care for Spidey and Alan Wake, I am ready to return to Shadow Moses and in Russia with brand new trophies to collect. We don't have details yet on price and a possible physical version?

Edit: Just realized that my newest platinum trophies are in FF Pixel Remaster, Crisis Core and Sonic Origins... That's clearly not why I got a PS5 for but I always end up returning to the classics...

Re: The Last of Us PC Patch Verifies Remake for Steam Deck

belmont

It is strange to see all those games that were only possible in the super mega force PS5 SSD playable on the micro SD of the Steam Deck. Final Fantasy 16 and Rebirth will be the next ones!

On a more serious note I love the Steam Deck and looking forward to more games. I played the Last of Us back in the PS3 but I don't really want to play it again. Now I replay on my Deck FF7 Remake, one of my favorite PS4 console exclusives. Performance is hit or miss but I have a blast taking Cloud and the rest of the gang on the road!

Re: Persona 3 Reload Won't Include FES or Portable Content, Female Protagonist Included

belmont

I am not that a fan of Persona, I hate silent protagonists. That said I have played persona 1 up to 4 and I don't get why fans don't like The Answer that much. In any case, as others mentioned, Atlus will re re release P3 FES Remake to get more money from the fanbase.

Edit: In P3 if you go to have 2 girlfriends the one may catch you with the other in the mall and you can simply lie without any consequence! Not messed up at all!! In P4 you can have a harem without anyone noticing or caring and without any consequence. I think they should change this in the Remake

Re: PS Plus, Game Pass Subscription Growth Has Totally Stalled in USA

belmont

To be honest I only pay PS Plus for cloud saves. I have had Game Pass from time to time.

I think Microsoft said that you will surely run out of people to sell subs to. So, after a while you may upgrade from a PS4 to a PS5 but you are not a new sub potential customer.

You can either try to increase revenue by tiers, like Sony, or try to go after PC users, like Microsoft.

Re: Feature: PSVR2 Three Months Later - The Good, The Bad, and The Worrying

belmont

To be honest PSVR2 seemed like a PS Vita situation from the start, good hardware but not much first party content that will lead not selling good. I know that it has cutting edge hardware but it costs almost as much as a Steam Deck and a Series S combined. And if you don't already have a PS5 the cost in increases a lot. Therefore, I personally have no interest in one.

Re: PS5 Showpiece Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Jumps to the PC Dimension in July

belmont

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is 60 on Steam and 80 in PSN. I guess Green Man Gaming, Fanatical etc. will have it for preorder cheaper.
Also, and that is a literally question, how games that were possible only on the super fast PS5 SSD are now playable in mechanical drives and in the Steam Deck's SD card?
Seems like Final Fantasy 16 is now the one and only true PS5 exclusive.

Re: Street Fighter 6 (PS5) - Iconic Capcom Fighting Franchise Finds Its Form

belmont

@Impossibilium Thanks, seems that I just miss the Season 5 characters. I may get this on a discount or see if I have enough fight money.

Fighting games have moved to this "games as a service model". Mortal Kombat 11 was one of the worst examples with characters available only if you preorder, a bad in game money system, expensive characters from other media that the fan base did not want etc. At least they gave the PS5 upgrade for free.

Re: PS5's Remote Play Portable Will Allegedly Launch in November

belmont

I see people asking ask for Vita 2 but come on, as much as I would also love it, nobody would buy it and Sony would quietly abandon it.

A device like Project Q would make some sense if it was cheap and you could so cloud of 5g streaming or some sort of direct connection, without wifi, like the Wii U or the Vita.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1's PS5 Kombat Pack Kontents May Have Been Accidentally Outed

belmont

@GeneJacket To be fair the discussion shifted from this but what I and some others said still stands. Guest characters from unrelated IPs are not needed in Mortal Kombat and a lot of fans don't want them since MK has enough diverse and iconic characters on it own. So, a part of the fans prefer characters from the series backlog and not guest characters.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1's PS5 Kombat Pack Kontents May Have Been Accidentally Outed

belmont

@WallyWest I never really liked the Suicide Squad characters but it may just be me. The concept was interesting though. I keep forgetting that there is a second Suicide Squad film, I may have to watch it. I have watched the first two Guardians of the Galaxy films. I don't like them that much. I have not read the respective comics so I don't know if this is present in the source material but in comic book I don't like them being a joke when the characters are constantly joking and they don't treat a serious situation as a serious situation. The Avergers films, the Snyder films, the recent Batman movie didn't have this issue and I enjoy them a lot more. I don't like this joking/self parodying/satirical stuff.

Amazon Prime is not available in my country but, starting from when Amazon released Lord of the Rings, they offer only the video service at a lower price. I am not sure if they have all their shows available since they slowly translate and add them. I may have to check them.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1's PS5 Kombat Pack Kontents May Have Been Accidentally Outed

belmont

@WallyWest To be honest I simply don't watch much stuff snd do not follow the relevant news. I personally watch only Marvel and DC comic stuff and I even missed that Peace Maker had a show. He and the rest of the Suicide Squad are some of the most bland characters ever so I don't think I would watch it anyway. And since the Arrowverse ends and most Marvel shows seem to be more comedic than they should I may run out of stuff to watch.

@Totheteeth I couldn't have said it better myself. Fans ask for old characters to return and get Rambo and Terminator instead while iconic characters from the Mortal Kombat games are not in some of the decent games. As a fan there are some more stuff I don't gat like the de-sexualising characters or making them act like idiots. And also don't getting me started on Ed trolling the fans.

@Gooseman42 The shows may be good but why would I have to watch a show to understand a character in a totally unrelated IP? It is not the same universe. I get that I may have to watch Iron Man to better enjoy the Avengers but to watch a show in a streaming platform that is not even available worldwide to get why a character no one is interested appears in Mortal Kombat instead of Cyrax, for example, makes no sense. I could get one and only guest character if it was iconic like Kratos or Joker but Peace Maker is not needed, Mortal Kombat has Striker which seems similar.

Edit: So, I saw the characters that are already confirmed. There are many iconic characters like Sonya that have not been announced yet we have Peace Maker announced. I don't get it

Re: Mortal Kombat 1's PS5 Kombat Pack Kontents May Have Been Accidentally Outed

belmont

@WallyWest To be honest I have also no idea what those shows are and who those characters are. I vagely remember this Peacemaker from an old Suicide Squad comic but still they are not known and unimportant. It is not that they would have the Flash as guest.

Previous Mortal Kombat games had Joker and RoboCop but I don't care about those guest characters. Even though I don't like the direction of the characters Mortal Kombat has enough interesting and diverse characters its own.

Re: Best Trails Games Ranked: Which Trails Games to Play and Where to Start

belmont

I love the series however, I cannot really recommend it because I truly think that you have to play from Sky 1. Also, the lore and what actually happens doesn't make that much sense, even in an 'jrpg anime world'. However, the continuation in the story will keep you immersed and it is cool to see a native PS4 or PS5 3D model from characters introduced in PSP sprites.

So, my suggestion start from the beginning and choose versions that include the fast forward button since the games move VERY SLOWLY. I rushed all games two years ago before the release of Cold 4 and had a great time.

Re: Next Week's PS Plus Extra Lineup Has Been Changed Again

belmont

@BeerIsAwesome You are right. I was under the impression that the psn versions of the classic Oddworld games were published by Sony themselves. Also there is also Resident Evil Director's Cut by Capcom. Still there are many major publishers that don't release their games.

For PSP it is the same as PSone, more or less. I have the old PSP versions of Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror and Ridge Racer 2. First was free, second only available if you subscribe.

Re: Next Week's PS Plus Extra Lineup Has Been Changed Again

belmont

The usual question is what will happen in the Classics line, i.e. if the games are free if you have the previous digital version or if you can buy them separately.

So far it seems somewhat consistent that you can buy games by Sony, and not buy games by Namco while other publishers don't care that much to release their old games.

Although, to be honest, I only pay the base tier for cloud saves.

Re: Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores Update 1.23 Live Now, Here Are the Patch Notes

belmont

I beat the base game in my PS4 and the DLC in the PS5. In the base game I faced two bizarre issues.
When I got an Overdrive for a cauldron, while the elevator was going up, Aloy automatically fell from the edge in a black abyss!! Restarting from a checkpoint worked and I lost no progress. Sometimes, when it was snowing the frame rate tanked. Restarting fixed it, even if it was still snowing.
As for the DLC I fell off the geometry both in land and sea a couple of times and I had to randomly jump around to get out!!!!
Too bad you cannot fix a bad story with a patch though.

Re: Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores (PS5) - Aloy's New Chapter Is Essential for Fans

belmont

I enjoy it very much so far!!

That being said I would prefer it if the whole HFW was PS5 exclusive. That said, since the base game had a PS4 version and we only have one piece of DLC it kind of stinks for PS4 players to not be able to play it. And we all know that the complete game will be Steam Deck verified in a couple of months.

That said I have not beaten the DLC yet. I hope it recrifies the dump and anticlimactic ending of the base game.
