Re: We Don't Know if PS5 Trophies Will Come with Progress Tracking

jsw-8

I've had an email saying this feature is coming.

"PS5™ console Trophy tracker
Just how close are you to earning that rare Gold Trophy?

See what else you need to do before hearing that highly satisfying ‘ding’ sound with the all-new Trophy tracking system in supported games on the PS5™ console."

Re: PS5 Stand Solution Is Seriously Nifty

jsw-8

@Octane I'm one of those people. Happy to be proven wrong.

I'm impressed that not only is the stand included it comes with a space to store the screw when horizontal and the PS5's rubber cover when vertical. That's some clever shizz.

Re: NBA 2K21 on PS4 Is a Great Looking Game, But This PS5 Comparison Is Insane

jsw-8

The PS5 version looks vastly improved however I find something is still off with it. I think it's the actual animations. When one player (I don't follow basketball so have no idea who) celebrates by shouting, the mouth movement looks unnatural.

The movement of the players feet looks off as well, like they're not touching the floor.

I don't know if its just because it's hard to animate but the closer we get to absolute realism in characters, the more noticeable animations become when not acting like they would in the real world.

Re: Did SEGA Just Tease a New Virtua Fighter Game?

jsw-8

@Matroska yeah, I got "restart in Japan". I've read elsewhere that puyo puyo champions is also called puyo eSports in Japan so perhaps it could also be a mid-size downloadable game. Guess we'll just have to wait and find out!

Re: Did SEGA Just Tease a New Virtua Fighter Game?

jsw-8

Definitely a reboot to the series but I don't know if I'm mistranslating this but it seems Japanese only for the time being which leads me to believe it might be a return to the arcades before a console release.

Re: This Could Be the First PS5 Compatible SSD

jsw-8

@nessisonett to be honest, both companies are taking the mick with their storage expansion options. $220 is nearly a new console for additional storage, especially with the higher cost of games and that the size of games is staying roughly the same.

I get Sony are chasing the PC standard but to me, it just shows that the next generation is under baked and is at least a year too early. I can see a lot of consumers who can't afford the jump missing out. It wouldn't surprise me if we have a sell out launch period but a massive drop off.

Re: Poll: Will You Buy a PS5?

jsw-8

Last night's presentation took me from a day one to a 2021 at the earliest. Having Sackboy and Spider-Man as PS4 games with a free upgrade sealed the deal.

I'll probably pull the trigger by the end of next year or when FFXVI comes out. Hopefully it'll be in black by then.

Re: Sony's PSVR Reveals This Week Aren't Proving Popular

jsw-8

Twitter isn't the be-all and end-all of popular opinion and unmoderated social media platforms are generally very toxic places to go for small minorities with loud voices.

I don't think this will have:
A) any impact on Sony (except the poor sod running their social accounts) or it's bottom line.
B) will force their hand. They've been following the Sony playbook step by step and will announce all details when they're ready.

Re: PS5 Price and Release Date Rumour Is Making Headlines in Japan

jsw-8

£100 for a 4k blu ray player is there or there abouts the cost of a standalone so would've expected the reduction to be about £50-60.

The prices are roughly what a new console will cost so this could be both fake and correct at the same time.

Still, nothing is confirmed until Sony says it is.

Re: Indie Dev Demonstrates How Bad PS Store Discoverability Can Be

jsw-8

That's pretty bad it's under dlc and movies. I get that Sony will present search results for popular games but for it to be hidden under content that isn't video games is awful.

Why don't companies have a calendar list of games releasing in that week? Netflix have just implemented something similar so you can select things to go into your list when it goes live and it's a god send.

Re: Metro Dev Just One of Eight More THQ Nordic, Embracer Group Purchases

jsw-8

@WanderingHunter The Embracer group was Nordic games a few years back so Sweden.

It's mental to think that as an average C-tier publisher that produced mainly shovelware on the Wii, then buying most of THQ's assets and carefully managing them back to life, they'd become an alright B-tier producer and developer of games. Buying Deep Silver also helped.

Re: Talking Point: What Did You Think of the Latest State of Play Livestream?

jsw-8

It was okay. Nothing properly new or exciting, a few good dives into some ok looking games, Crash looks amazing but nothing else apart from that did it for me. I wish Godfall would stop getting this much attention, it's not that it looks bad or anything - just show something different, it's been at every show/event Sony have done since announcing the thing!

Re: Poll: Did PS5 or Xbox Series X Have the Better Next-Gen Showcase?

jsw-8

Playstation has more appealing games for me so I'm sticking with the PS5.

I've never owned an Xbox. After this showcase, while the games look interesting, I probably still won't own one unless they did an all digital edition. I'd just get that and an Gamepass and I'd never have to buy a game for the system.

Re: Expect More PS5 Game Announcements Today

jsw-8

@get2sammyb today's the day we find out what rocksteady is up to. I feel it in me waters.

Plus I reckon Square Enix has been cooking something up. Maybe more info on that game they are developing with Platinum Games.

Re: Here's Your First Look at Official PS5 Game Box Art

jsw-8

I was expecting a black case to tie in with 4k UHD Discs, much like how I assumed the blue PS4 boxes were for Blu-ray and the PS2 boxes went black when a dvd disc was used.

Not sure what happened with the PS3 cases but I'm sure that's the sole reason people didn't initially buy the console 😉

Re: Xbox Is Pushing for Free Next-Gen Upgrades, And That's Good News for PS5

jsw-8

It is great news, no doubt. But I'm wondering if too much time is being spent on the subject. This is only an issue while there is that small transition period which at most is going to be 8 months. Except for FIFA which will undoubtedly keep releasing on the PS4 until the end of days.

Shouldn't the companies be trying to convince the public that yes backwards compatibility is there but the shift and cost is worth investing in? I think that this message is getting a bit lost while there's all the talk of free cross gen upgrades.

Re: PS5 Games Could Cost $10 More Than PS4

jsw-8

Always happens when new consoles launch as Devs try to recoup costs. They'll be back to normal prices when people get over the hype or when the first sales start creeping in after Christmas. Plus, NBA 2k20 was £2.50 on the switch a couple of weeks ago so you know the price won't hold 😂

Re: Poll: What Is Your Preferred Game Length?

jsw-8

Depends on the game, setting, story and world building for me. I play a little bit of everything so I don't look at length of a campaign. Games could of be 5 minutes or 100 hours, so long as they are good in my eyes I'm not so fussed. ☺️
