Wow I didn't expected that. But already preordered! Looking forward to it so much! First part was very good. If this is much better as it seems, it has to be phenomenal. Good work Warhorse and great comeback Dan Vávra, creator of great Mafia game!
It depends...because it's always money flow. If people are paying less for games (thanks to game pass), developers get less money. Game pass can suck in more people similarly like micro transactions. Because giving periodically low amount is for someone better than giving high amount one time. Amd that can mean, more people financing developers. But I don't know exact numbers. I think it can lead to dominating quantity over quality.
I'm for mor direct access. Developer makes game and I will pay him for it. I want to give money to that developer. And not to some company, which will somehow pay the developer. It's more complicated of course because when company like Sony owns studio, money goes still over Sony. But for me it's about supporting quality. Not consuming games. Maybe I'm naive. But I believe in it .
@BacklogBrad That would be great! They will sell less copies, if they implement cross-buy but will make more money, because no fee for epic/steam. Im tempted so much to buy some games also on pc. But that would mean also need of cross save.
Not without problems. I had few cough ups, when I couldnt connect to lobbies for lets say 30 -45 minutes. But its much better then at the beginning. So they solved, that all players can connect to servers and run the game, but not that sometimes, you cant connect to any lobby.
On the other hand, game is really great! There are almost non existent MTXs and grind is very fluent and rewarding. I grinded for Liberator Penetrator (it has medium armor penetration), but was little bit disappointed and found, that rail gun is much better for armored enemies. Or, do you have some different opinion on Libeartor Penetrator?
@rjejr it makes sense. For those, who forgot to redeem ps plus free games and also for all, who will buy console and/or ps plus later.
I have Dreams from beta and it's really great app. It's a pitty Sony couldnt market it more aggressive. Because it thrives and falls with community. Should have been ps5 free long ago. Also should get ps5 upgrade long ago. It's a pitty. Also should have true marketplace long ago. So much wasted potential!
Im trying to find some alternative to ps worlds or other game which can showcase the psvr2 to other people through some short experiences. Any tips or hints? For psvr1 for most people was shar encounter.
@KundaliniRising333 decades old engine. This is proof you in your brightest day can't even imagine what all of this is about. Really man. That's horrible prerequisity to publish own opinion (for which you are welcome of course, but....some sanity to it would not harm).
@Bleachedsmiles I don't know why MT werent on during review. But changing rewards for races is logical. They don't want to evereybody has all cars. And that's right. I don't want all of them, but have some favourite.
@Bleachedsmiles So you think players should get all the cars in the beginning? I already have 50 cars, which I got for free by completing some story missions (and I still have ton of them ahead) and got nearly 1500000 credits for finished races. I really don't understand that "I have to spent lot of time in this game to get best cars".
Wow , I really don't understand hysteria around this. Nobody forces anybody to buy cars for real money. Would you rather to not have an option for it at all?
@AhmadSumadi Yeah exactly. I did it that way, because I thought I will play it on PS4. I then got PS5 and realized, I have free upgrade. But spending 10 bucks more is no problem for great work developers did. They deserve it.
First I wanted to sharp PS4 to PS5 transition. But I thought, that I would be able to buy PS5. Now Im happy with my PS4Pro and games support from Sonys side. I probably will buy PS5. I hope it will be some slim version together with psvr2. Thank you Sony!
@PaperAlien Tagging would be much better. You can use that like folders and also you can have games multiple tagged (like multi-player, single player, kids,vr , party, etc...)
Looks promising! Still got PS4Pro and cancelled PS5 preorder, which had zero probability to deliver. But this is starting to be temptating so much I dont know if I can wait for PS5 Slim
I already cancelled my day one morning preorder. Doesnt make sense for me to wait half year until ps5 is available as is info from my retailer . Sony is totally unprepared. But I understand they needed to start this holiday. It doesnt make sense to start in the Spring. So for now staying with ps4 pro and maybe I will invest into some new gpu for my pc. Rtx3080 or rx6800xt . For you who managed somehow to secure ps5 congrats and wish you many great hours of playing.
We need all that matters about console. But of course its significantly less then MS says. And thats what bothers many people.
For me, inconsistency is problem. Ps5 games vs crossgen ones. And situation about spiderman is bad.
What I understand so far is, that you can play ps4 spidey on ps4 and buy mm dlc on ps4. Then you can play ps4 spidey on ps5 and buy mm dlc (ps4 or ps5?). Then you can buy mm ps5. And then you can buy mm ue ps5, where you have spidey remastered and mm dlc. What Insomniac wrote for some meant you can upgrade ps4 spidey to ps5 spidey (remaster) and for some that you can only buy dlc. Its very confusing from Sony side. I dont mind it, because I played whole ps4 spidey, so I will get dlc only. And I hope when I insert ps4 spidey into ps5, I can buy mm dlc for that 20 USD.
I understand that this is mainly because BC. But Sony has to clarify so that every user of ps understand their message.
If Sony has some sort of dlss in ps5 it would be check mate for all that people, that praise almost 2tf more powerful xsx. On the other hand xsx should handle some type of dlss to. Lets see.
Phil is full of s.it. If that came earlier than after xbox catasteophe, maybe I believed him. Locking games on to any platform means better games for all. Because everyone tries to be better then other. In his purple optimistic world, MS can only do hardware (in which is good) and sell Sony games in its store. I dont know. I like him before. But now he is full of that make all games together for everyone. Sorry Phil, world doesnt work like that.
Jim Ryan said, that there are lot of other games in development. They didnt show anything from santa monica and bend for example. Just curious when GT7 comes out. I bought PS3 and PS4 primarily for GT. I hope when I decide to buy PS5, I will not wait again several years until GT comes out
I read somewhere, that power of S in 1080p is meant to be on similar level like X in 2160p. That can make perfect sense. There are lot of people who dont need 4K. Im really curious, how can Sony counteract that. Because new S will put ps4(no pro) in its pocket.
Ready at dawn and make Order 1886 sequel. Bluepoint games and make more PS3 remakes. Supermassive games and make more VR games. Thatgamecompany and make more games lije journey, flow and flower. Housemarque - and make more games like Alienation, Resogun. Quantic dream - and make more great adventures like Heavy Rain, Fahrenheit, Beyond: two souls or Detroit Become Human.
Not sure about Kojima. Maybe some contract with them for next few games would be great.
I'm surprised for these scores. This game goes similar ways like hzd or tomb raider. For me best was hzd. Next is days gone and last tomb raider(rise of the ...). But don't take it bad. I had lot of fun with tomb raider, but it didn't catch my heart. It was very good game. Days gone isn't as polished as hzd (or h Gow) , but catched my heart. I like story, mechanics, graphics and the tension. It's like TLOU in open world. Ok not so much polished but similar experience. For me something between 8.5 and 9.
I also be happy with Ps4v2. So Pro can be considered as new base model and v2 as new Pro model with 16GB ram, supporting greater vr resolution , better frame rate and native 4K, where needed (I still don’t think , we need native 4K over checkerboard or temporal injection - tv has also 1080i and people don’t complain about not being 1080p - checkerboarding is even more sofisticated - but definitely native is needed where simple upscale is applied).
Just bought Sony 55XE9305 (or X930E if you want) and for the first time in my life I saw HDR (okay I don’t count real world - that’s hdr every day ). People, don’t bother with pseudo hdr. Look for good contrast and brightness when you buy your tv! It is worth it! GT Sport, horizon, hdr movies...all is fantastic! Wow!
I read all reviews on flatpanelshd, rtings, techradar, avforums, avmania (Czech one), etc..... it was lg b7 or Sony 9305. I was afraid of image burning and also tv is turned on during day. So I needed excellent brightness. If you don’t want another mortgage on your house , these two TVs are excellent high end choice!
