Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Fans Are Finished with the PS5 Game's $10 Halloween Fatality

billyboyblue666

Heaven forbid actually GIVING the skins away for free as a gift and a thank you to the community for paying full price and supporting the game from launch. What a nice idea that would have been. Instead they choose greed and are rightfully being dragged through the mud for it. A full price have should be just that - a FULL price, complete game. I have no issue with paid DLC that expands the original title and gives the player something new, but cosmetics - 🖕

Re: Death Stranding 2 Leveraging Next-Gen MetaHumans Tech for Photorealistic PS5 Visuals

billyboyblue666

Kojima Productions are Elite tier in their work. They managed to get results out of Decima that put Horizon in the shade. Specifically the lighting and rock geometry. Pairing the next-gen iteration of Decima with UE5 MetaHuman will produce results never experienced in gaming. Despite his God-tier status, for me he still doesn't get enough respect, or Yoji Shinkawa his art director. Between them they have made the gaming world that bit brighter during their tenure.

Bring on DS2. Lets finally see some future tech. What a time to be a PlayStation gamer 💙

Re: Nearly 80% of All PS5, PS4 Games Are Bought Digitally

billyboyblue666

I buy physical for 2 reasons. Firstly I share my games with my son, so a physical disc is a no brainer. I think we should certainly be able to lend digital items amongst family members - perhaps with some form of access code attached. Secondly, being an adult, I'm somewhat behind the new release curve due to work / family constraints so I buy alot of games second hand from eBay. Dirt cheap. Just picked up Doom Eternal for £6. Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Physical all the way. I also got burnt with a digital version of Transformers Devastation that was pulled from the store and became unavailable to redownload, despite being a purchase. Since then, I've always bought physical unless digital is a really good deal. Much prefer to own my media rather than merely have license to use it.

Re: Days Gone - Open World Comfort Food with a Survival Horror Spin

billyboyblue666

Not that many will read this now, but as a latecomer to the game, I have to say I'm thoroughly impressed. Playing on a vanilla system I've had a very stable experience with only the occasional audio glitch (late) to break the immersion slightly.

What has impressed me is the environment and weather handling. The transition from wet to dry, day to night, fog to storm and snow are superb. Haven't seen puddles that look at good out natural in a game like this, and the snow effects and the subtlety of which they blend in at... How did that not get mentioned in the review?

The game actively encourages invention, whilst constantly keeping you in your toes. I'd recommend playing on hard difficulty for a much grittier experience. Even the simplest encounter in the wilderness can get you killed which creates an understanding of your survivability on a minute by minute basis.

I think this game reviewed at a time when it was good to take shots at Sony. Death Stranding faired similarly. But to me, a good game is a good game and this is definitely a good game.

I'd give it an 8.5, with no doubt the PS5 4K 60fps version ramping up to a 9.

And wait until you encounter the hordes. Prepare to be terrified!! 🧟🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️

Re: Horizon Forbidden West, Spider-Man: Man Miles Morales 'Built from the Ground Up' for PS5, Despite PS4 Versions

billyboyblue666

H:FW will be massively gimped to run on PS4. Guerrilla have already stated that the poly count for Aloy in the new game alone is more than the combined poly count of ALL the machines from the 1st game. Add in the massive draw distance and complex water shaders / physics and I see issues with 7 year old hardware.

I know the Decima engine is cutting edge but still, it'll be a huge downgrade. I still don't see how the 'SSD' being the 'game changer' can all of a sudden be not a factor.

I completely understand why they are doing this. A 120 million install base cannot be just forgotten, but their marketing has sucked, which is a shame.

I've always been a PlayStation fan, although really enjoyed owning a 360 (or 7) during that generation. I won't be riding to pick up the PS5 at launch. 2021 it will come into its own.

Silly Sony 🤦🏼‍♂️

Re: 505 Games Attempts to Explain Control's PS5 Upgrade Scandal

billyboyblue666

They would fare better with a £10 upgrade 'patch' than a fanbase of pissed consumers. Whomever thought this one up made the wrong call. I agree you can't just give everything for nothing, but by the same token being hyper divisive of your most loyal fans is ridiculous. It could do more harm than good in the long run.

Give a little now, receive alot in the future. Gamers are a loyal breed.

Re: Control Locks Free PS5 Upgrade Behind Ultimate Edition

billyboyblue666

God, what a joke. The game runs like s**t on PS4. Purposely waiting to play it on the new hardware. Many in the same boat. What a divisive, cheap money grabbing tactic. I genuinely expected better here. Especially as PS5 is on a roll at the moment.

These bigshots on super salaries who make these decisions make me laugh. Now is the time to give a little and receive ALOT come next gen...

Smh 🤦🏼‍♂️

Re: Spider-Man Miles Morales Can Run at 4K, 60FPS on PS5 with Optional Performance Mode

billyboyblue666

1440p upscaled is the sweet spot. With next gen reconstruction techniques the eye (mine at least 😂!) can't tell the difference. Wasting resources to hit 4k needlessly is just that. Fantastic if devs give consumers options to display the games how they like, but a 1440p 60hz option 'should' be mandatory for these systems going forward.

Xbox will be the same. Fools thinking the machine will hit native 4k 60fps with full RT every game are delusional.

Re: Talking Point: Did Ubisoft Forward Meet Your Expectations?

billyboyblue666

The animations in AC were poor. You can tell the system hasn't been updated. Blending is almost non existent leading to a janky awkwardness to it. The facial and voice acting - let's not go there...

Seriously, where's Splinter Cell? A brand new, refreshing take on that would've created far more buzz then endless iterations of these games.

Legions does look nice though.

Re: Don't Expect Assassin's Creed Valhalla to Run at 60 Frames-Per-Second on PS5

billyboyblue666

Ridiculous. If the whole point of the console generation is simply to push a higher resolution, what's the point in EVERYBODY saying they prefer a smoother frame rate...

For a 12TF machine to run a cross gen title at 30fps is a JOKE. They need to be SELLING these machines now with the hype train.

I'm starting to feel underwhelmed already. Everybody above pretty much echoes this sentiment of fps>resolution.

Upscaled 4k and a high frame rate is infinitely better than 'native 4k' bs.

Re: PS Plus May 2020 Reveal Has Been a Disaster, One of the Worst Received Months Ever

billyboyblue666

@ChipBoundary Well, thanks for pointing out that me and 5 or so of my 40+ year old friends are all wrong in our opinions with regard to the value of our PSN subscriptions 🤣

For me personally, the last year has been a waste. None of the EXTREMELY good value games have interested me. Those that have, I've already owned. As for multiplayer, I play once in a while with my son when he feels like it, so lumbered with his subscription as well, no, it isn't good value to me. Cloud saves I could happily live without forever as well.

Not everybody has your perspective. We all have our own independent viewpoints and they're all valid.

If you enjoy paying your subscription, that's fine. I think things have to change for the next generation as I consider it poor value.

That's my perspective and my personal opinion.

Re: PS Plus May 2020 Reveal Has Been a Disaster, One of the Worst Received Months Ever

billyboyblue666

@ChipBoundary Oh, I do apologise for being so sad that you need to explain something so trivial to me from your bubble of omnipotence.

Following your logic, with next generation consoles having considerably more horsepower, wouldn't it be feasible again to have have free multiplayer then...

I think people are fed up with paying for a service that comes up short in value. That's my overriding point. The free games arent particularly attractive to the vast majority and paying for online when alot of people don't play very much doesn't scream value, hence my original post.

Thanks for pointing out what I didn't understand.

Re: PS Plus May 2020 Reveal Has Been a Disaster, One of the Worst Received Months Ever

billyboyblue666

@crazykcarter Online play should be free. It's free on PC so why pay on PSN? The PS+ subscription should be tiered on PS5, with online being free. They're not going to be giving away 2 PS5 games a month, so they really need to rethink all this. The suggestion of PS+ merging into PS Now I think is a great idea.

Bottom line (hopefully) things need to change. Whether Sony listen 🤷🏼‍♂️

Re: Rumour: 'Gigantic' Horizon Zero Dawn 2 Will Feature Co-Op on PS5

billyboyblue666

I hope for the sequel they make things far more organic. Forget the map and markers where everything is. Make the machine movement natural according to the terrain. Make encounters far more random in their nature. Bigger enemies too. I'm sure they have many fantastic ideas now they're not constricted by hardware limitations. And please, please build on environmental damage when things explode. Trees buckling under the weight of explosions with plenty of scorching is where they need to go. Deepen the immersion of the battles, not just a bigger game world.

Re: Supremely Skilled God of War Player Beats Hardest Boss with No Upgrades

billyboyblue666

I'm surprised you didn't give GBG a bit more of a write-up to be fair. This isn't the first of his stellar achievements with this game. His channel on YouTube was the first to highlight the advanced combat and game breaking workarounds he discovered in the games combat system. Even Corey Barlog has reached out to him on Twitter to congratulate him on the insanity of his gameplay and the combos he's come up with. He's a truly remarkable player.

I think the moment when he finally beats Sigrun and just pauses the game is a moment all true hardcore gamers have felt when finally climbing to the top of the mountain.

I think anybody who sits there there and says what he achieved here is easy needs to take a look at themselves.

Bravo GBG. The real Kratos 👑

Enjoy this video he made to celebrate 6000+ hours of God of War. Remarkable gameplay and a really humble young man too.

Re: Xbox Boss on PS5: We Have a Plan That Can Win

billyboyblue666

Sorry, but until Xbox bring our software that innovates they'll always be behind. Sony have pushed the envelope this gen unquestionably.

Until MS births an IP that creates the impact of Horizon Zero Dawn or crafts an experience as complete as God of War they'll always just be the CODbox.
