I've got it and you're not lying about the deadzone issues, it's what made me put it down after a few levels. Really good graphics for a PS2 game mind you!
@datamonkey I'd love them to get back to their Japanese roots and get back to their fundamentals (complete backwards compatibility, quirky Japanese games etc.) but as @PuppetMaster mentions - they're not making them money and ultimately Sony are a business, not a charity.
I was a supporting artist on the last Bond movie and there's nothing like being in Pinewood, filming on the 007 stage. I'm hoping the next movie is set in a different time period just so the character doesn't have to be diluted as much.
Smart decision to pull back from PC releases with Steam announcing their console and Xbox soon to be a PC. It weakened the brand giving away their titles and they didn't sell all too well neither.
@Midnyte-Monkey exactly my thoughts. Not to justify the price hike but I saved religiously through secondary school in preparation for the PS3 when most were giving in and getting a 360. Where there's a will, there's a way.
It should be illegal to ship a game unplayable without additional patches. It's the principal, I'm tired of companies getting away with these shenanigans.
It shouldn't even be being discussed... The games were always 18+, leave parents to parent and re-do them properly. Don't make fans of the games suffer because of modern day "sensibilities".
Fantastic game but boy was it a depressing peek into the coming future. I wanted to get the platinum but playing it too long never left me in a good headspace after.
Still Playstation's biggest IP and it's nice seeing they're supporting it long past it's initial release. Going from playing the basic Ridge Racer as a boy to playing the demo of the first was such a magical leap, big fan ever since.
@TrollOfWar I love your receipts! Bill Gates is that you!? 👀
Personally, I've had distaste towards Xbox ever since most of my mates defected after the PS2 and got a 360 instead of PS3 (leaving me on my jack jones for the first few slow years). Microsoft are the richest out of the 3 yet are the most money-grubbing of the 3, make it make sense.
@11001100110zero you're talking to a self-professed luddite, I try to have as little of that intrusive nonsense as possible. Kinect and trying to stop people using second hand copies are what shot themselves in the foot initially with gamepass putting the nail in the coffin imo. They tried to offset the cost of Activision and Bethesda by trying to become Netflix with gamepass and locking people down to a subscription model.
You're right saying most of their damage was self inflicted; when your exclusives only really consist of Halo, Forza and Gears vs what you get on PlayStation (or Nintendo to be fair) then people are only rightly going to switch allegiance unless they're die hard. I have no doubt PSN would still be free if Xbox didn't standardise a charge and in general they've brought about the most anti-consumer practices of the big 3.
I actually feel for my mates still persisting with supporting their brand at this point, the writings been on the wall since the PS4 left Xbox One for dead. Captain going down with their ship kind of sentiment, I half respect it.
@nomither6 I still actively have to use my launch PS3 because it still does things my PS5 Pro can't. I'd 100% pay premium if it was the "ultimate" PlayStation, big ask though, I get it.
I like the openness of PC but the never ending updates and tweaking to get things running properly mean I'll always prefer PlayStation for it's ease of use. I'm too deep into the PS ecosystem to ever jump ship anyway (physical stretching back to PS1, digital to PS3) but if Valve are successful then it'll be interesting to see if Sony continue to give them ports. PlayStation also still support physical media which PC have let die.
I've put a silly amount of hours into GT7, wish they'd allow me to cash in on unused parts. It actually feels impossible to get 100% of the cars because of the silly prices. I want some free credits if the newbies are getting 'em Polyphony!

Nope, not interested, clear as day where all this nonsense leads.
Re: 'Take My Goddamn Money': PS5 Fans Seem Ready for Electrifying inFAMOUS Collection
I'm a penny pincher; I'd rather they sort out PS3 emulation and use my original discs than buy it again, I've got enough remasters already.

Re: Xbox Fans Flock to Online Suggestions Box to Tell Microsoft to Keep Games Off PS5
I plan on getting Forza Horizon 6 and the Halo remake so they'd be shooting themselves in the foot going back on bringing their games to PlayStation.
A lot less of a reach on Xbox nowadays too, let's keep it real.

Re: Rumour: Rayman Legends Remake May Be Announced This Summer
@AdamNovice there's a double pack that released on PS3 with both of them on the 1 disc, why they didn't just port THAT to PS4 I dunno.

Re: PS5 Will Soon Be Cheaper Than Switch 2 in Japan, But Is It Going to Make Any Difference?
I love Nintendo but to me PlayStation has become the daddy of the industry. You'd think their home would show them more love!
Re: PlayStation's Lofty Preservation Efforts 'Not Stopping Anytime Soon'
@Balaam_ I love how I'm not the only one hassling them about this. Come on Sony, it's a killer feature that a lot of players want.
Re: Fallout Co-Creator Says Gamers Are Letting Influencers Tell Them What to Think
I did it to some degree as a kid buying the magazines with the demo discs. I'd take the reviewers words as gospel alot of the time.

Black Ops III for sure, my heyday was PS3 era but that is forever on the hard drive ready to run 4 player splitscreen.

Gonna be dusting out my PS5 Pro just a little more often due to these crazy prices.
Re: Congratulations to Resident Evil, 30 Years Old Today and Better Than Ever
The OG 2 if I have to pick a favourite child. The remake of 1 isn't far off but 2 in 1998 was revolutionary.

Re: Poll: Should God of War Trilogy Remake Adopt the Gameplay Style of Ragnarok?
Weren't a fan of 2018 nor the sequel so the more it sticks to the formula of the original trilogy, the better.

Re: PS5 Is Edging Out the Switch 2 in the UK So Far This Year
