Re: Poll: How Would You Rate the Latest State of Play Showcase?

bindiana

Basically the show showed 2nd and 3rd party is doing all the heavy lifting at the moment for Sony. I have no idea why they cant tease something from one of there big studios just to give the fans something. This also extends to VR with Sony still not producing any games for PSVR2 not even a token PSVR2 version of Astrobot.

The showcase showed the industry is in a bit of a rut with most games being sequels, remakes/remasters or souls likes. Least Judas looked new and interesting. But it does seem what most fans want going by the reaction to this article.

Dave the diver is already out on Switch isnt it? Sony seems very late to the party on some of these big indie games. Still hasn't got Vampire survivors but that maybe more to do with Microsoft then Sony.

@get2sammyb But surely you can understand Sony fans want to know what there studios are working on. Most of the games will be availble on xbox. Sadly if its not a remake/remaster, sequel or a soulslike Sony dont seem interested. And it looks like they have all but given up on PSVR2 after a year

Re: The Last of Us 2 Remastered Director Doesn't Get Fan 'Consternation' Surrounding Re-Release

bindiana

I think its just a combination of stuff. If sonys first party output had been better since launch and there communication had been better I don't think it would be such a big deal. Sonys first party output apart from returnal has been mainly seqeuls and remakes/remasters so I think its a bit of fatigue and people thinking Sony in general have no new ideas.

If they also at some point over the last couple of years showed what Naughty dog were working on (could just be a 30 second teaser) that would of eased a lot of the negativity as well

Re: Publishing Exec Claims 'There Are Too Many Games'

bindiana

My backlog never seems to get any smaller due to my huge backlog I rarely buy games day one. Some bargains I have picked up in the last couple of months SFVI £20, Resident Evil 4 £22 and Dead Island 2 £25 as well as quite a few others just got to find time to play them all, only done Resi 4 out of those. I have extra but thinking of dropping it due to not having enough time to do my backlog of games.

Re: Talking Point: Is Bungie Really the Right Developer to Aid Sony's Live-Service Push?

bindiana

Bungie were better run and less money grabbing under Activision that says alot about the company. Bungie has the worst monestisation practices in the business, Name me one other developer that has deleted paid content from there customers! Its a huge shame as there shooting gameplay is up there as the best in the business its just everything else around it that lets it down.

On a side note I wish Push Square would stop saying Destiny 2 is Free to play thats very misleading as most of the free to play content has been deleted at least all the meaningful content has.

Re: PS Plus Subscriptions on Sale Now, But There's a Big Catch

bindiana

I have 10 months left on my sub and i can't extend at the reduced price via website or App wonder if it only works if you have under say 3 months left on your sub. Sony seem to make baffling decisions all the time now. This move is more likely to push me to not renew my sub at all.

Re: Sony Says PS Portal Wasn't Designed to Make a Profit

bindiana

It just seems like another half hearted idea by Sony like VR2. This is an expensive product for a very niche market. You eithe rmake it so you can download games on to it and play it natively or you make it a lot cheaper and more people will pick it up on a whim.

This does look like it has been released to just die like VR2. VR2 has been out 8 months now and Sony as far as I know only released 1 game for it and no other ones are even announced. They haven't even bothered to port old PSVR games like Blood and Truth and Astrobot!

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for November 2023 Announced

bindiana

These would be fine before the price hike. But since there has been a price hike the games have been very medicore. I am not sure why they havent thrown in a first party game in like Ratchet, Returnal or Last of Us 2 or Last of us part 1 just to quell some disappointment.

Re: Interest in Destiny 2 Reportedly at an All-Time Low

bindiana

I will never forgive Bungie for being one of the only developers to take paid content away from customers. But I think they are paying for there poor decisions. They needed to start fresh with Destiny 3 on a new engine instead of pumping out expansion after expansion. It would help to get new and returning players in as playing Destiny 2 is so impenatrable if you start new or return at the moment. It would also help making new content for it.

Re: PS Store Plunges the Price of Almost 3,000 More PS5, PS4 Games

bindiana

I buy some stuff on sales when its below £10 but with extra I must admit my spending is down. I will play Spiderman 2 but cant justify the £70 price tag so will wait til cheaper think the only day one game I may consider is FF7 Rebirth. With backlog and extra don't really need to buy day one at the moment.

Re: 20 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Coming Next Week

bindiana

@VidaJ
Its a 2d side scrolling action RPG with multiple characters which there stories intertwine to some extent. Each character has different combat. As with all Vanillaware games the art style is beautiful. Couldn't hurt to check out some youtube videos to see if its up your alley.

Re: Poll: Was Sony's Latest State of Play Worth the Wait?

bindiana

Seemed strange to promote it as an indie 3rd party state of play and then show only 1 indie game. (was hoping for at least Vampire Survivors release date). It does seem they have given up on PSVR 2 loved my PSVR 1 but with no backwards compatability they have not given me one reason to get PSVR 2. Why they decided to do the voice chat thing for Hell Divers I will never know that never works as no group ever talks like that playing games. Was nice to see FFVII R2 so that made the show ok for me.

Re: Reminder: Last Chance to Stack PS Plus Subscriptions Before Price Rise

bindiana

@IOI Just going by UK prices extra is £84 at the moment will go up to £100 even 20% off brings it down to £80 which is cheaper then it currently is (not by much granted) but if the discount is 25 or 30% the saving is more. So from UK point of view makes sense to wait a couple months instead of rushing to top up today. I haven't calculated the US prices those could be different.
