Re: PSVR2 Sales Off to a 'Slow Start', New Report Claims

dschons

@GrimReaper You're saying the games right now are trash and there's nothing to be excited about. I think there are quite a few great games on there but that aside: It just launched, maybe let's just wait and see what happens in terms of announcements this year? Maybe, after all, there will be games that excite you as well.

Re: PSVR2 Sales Off to a 'Slow Start', New Report Claims

dschons

@GrimReaper Whether games suck or not is up to individual opinions, at least to a wide extent. That said, I don't think you're getting at much with that kind of confrontation. Most users here probably don't shy away from critically discussing things but it doesn't lead anywhere when you're trying to piss people off first and foremost.

Re: Tchia PS5 Patch Adds 60fps Support

dschons

@AFCC Most games don't justify that mode imo as the visual differences are mostly too minor for my liking. However, Ratchet was a damn treat in that mode. If every game did it like that, I'd be a staunch defender.

Re: Shattered Memories Writer Describes Silent Hill 2 as 'Biggest Poison Chalice in Video Games'

"Long-time fans can be hard to please". This is true which is why the reveal trailer threw me off in very particular aspects I didn't like at all, subtle details in the character voices, their intonations etc. Graphically, it looks impressive though. That said, I am hopeful, will definitely play it and I am looking forward to it but I am extremely skeptical. The good thing is: The original will still always be there as well.

Re: Switchback VR Developer Investigating Game's Iffy PSVR2 Visuals

dschons

To me, it is obvious this was a shelved PSVR1 game and I doubt updates will significantly improve it graphics wise. That said, and this is not a popular opinion, I had a great time with it despite its subpar graphics. It was basically more Rush of Blood which is both good and bad, depending on what you're looking at specifically.

Re: Resident Evil 4 (PS5) - A True Masterpiece Made Even Better

dschons

At the risk of sounding insane: I never really liked the original. There, I said it. However, I'll probably play this one at some point but I'd love to play it in VR. Has it ever been officially confirmed that the full game will release for PSVR2? At the SOP it only said PSVR2 content in development. I was assuming this pertains to a mode, like Mercenaries. Yet, I see people claiming all the time that Capcom has confirmed the full game. I'm confused about this.

Re: This Android App Will Transform Your PS5, PS4 Remote Play Experience

dschons

I can only recommend this app, I've been using it for years in conjunction with the Razer Kishi which is a nice budget option imo. It goes on sale all the time as well. I've been playing a lot of games via remote play surprisingly. Even some you "shouldn't play" via remote play. In my home environment, the delay is very close to non existent. For some games, this is already enough to adapt to it accordingly.

@ThorsHammer I've ordered from VR Optician for two reasons. They are manufacturing in Germany where I live, so I don't have to wait very long when it comes to shipping. Plus, I've used their lenses on my PSVR1 and can't stress enough what a flawless experience it was. That said, I'm sure you can achieve similar or equal results with brands like HonsVR as well. They seem to be the cheapest option. Pricing is also dependent on your specific values.

As for Resistance: Absolutely dated but man, it's just so fun. Can't wait to play the other 2 games as well.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 467

@thefourfoldroot1 same honestly. I can't wait to dive back in hardcore once the lenses are here. I'm just extremely paranoid although there's probably no need to because I've been extremely careful and made sure there's always enough space between my glasses and the lenses. But it would be typical for me if I accidentally scratched them the day before my prescription lenses are being delivered, lol.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 467

dschons

@CaptD I'd love that. However, I think Resistance wasn't continued because it didn't sell as well although there were plans for a sequel but they ditched it. Such a shame because I think the series is so underappreciated. I seriously consider 2 and 3 among the best first person singleplayer shooters.
Insomniac keeps posting pictures from the series on social media and my hope was that this might be a good sign for the future but they recently answered someone that there are no plans whatsoever at the moment.
As for Killzone: They had a VR game in development at Supermassive for PSVR but it got canceled in the midst of development as well. Shame.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 467

I'd play more PSVR2 games but I have decided to wait for my precription lenses which should arrive next week. It's fine with glasses but I'd rather not take the risk of scratching anything until they're here.

So, I am currently replaying some PS3 goodness: I've replayed Resistance Fall of Man this week and just started the second. God, I miss this series and I'd love to see it again on PS some day.

Re: Resident Evil 4 Remake's Chainsaw Demo Cuts PS5, PS4 Today

dschons

@DTfeartheBEARD it's a weird one though because you can't use the analog sticks at the same time. So as soon as you hold L2 to aim, you can only gyro aim, the right stick does nothing. But for me, that was still ok, just need to pre-aim without L2. I haven't messed around with the settings too much but it felt a bit floaty/ delayed. Still fine though.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 466

dschons

I'll chip away at the 2 games I have left on PSVR1 which most likely won't get an update (Arashi, Robinson The Journey) although I have PSVR2 as well. The reason for that is that I'm waiting for my prescription lenses for the new headset. While it works well with glasses, I'm paranoid I'll make a dumb move in a hectic moment and scratch it. The prescription lenses will simply give me that last peace of mind before I dive in hardcore.

Re: Sony Wants to Make PlayStation the Best Place to Play Third-Party Games

dschons

@LiamCroft I can't even see a pattern with the playtime on PS. In somes cases, it is definitely on point. Some others are so far off which made me think the system simply accumulates the time the game is running, regardless whether you're pausing etc. which you could circumvent by closing the game every time you're away from the console. Then again, as a recent example, Hogwarts Legacy shows about half the time compared to the in-game timer. It's really weird. Makes you wonder what the system behind it is.

Re: PSVR2 Early Adopters Are Struggling to Find the Sweet Spot

dschons

@Max_the_German This seems to be an issue I come across a lot. People, especially newcomers, perceive it as blurry because it is not as sharp as on the social screen which it can't be. 2K, 4K etc. have to be regarded in conjunction with distance. When you press your face against your 4K TV, it will look blurry as well. Also, distant objects simply look softer, this is not an issue of sweetspot but simply the tech.
