Re: Next-Gen PSVR2 Announcement from nDreams Incoming

poetwarlord

@get2sammyb I expect PSVR2 in 2023. I am excited to try it, but I wouldn't get your hopes up for it to be available in 2022. I've read evidence of component orders that suggests 2023, which isn't perfect, but... I still wouldn't get hopes up for 2022.

Re: Talking Point: Is Sony Being Stingy with PS5's First-Party Pricing?

poetwarlord

@MFTWrecks Yes, Nintendo charges a higher premium than Sony and does less discounting. I feel like that's their choice. I still buy games at regular price from both Nintendo and Sony and I'm happy with it. I was happy to pay full price for Mario Kart 8, first on Wii U and then repay full price on the Switch, because the game is so good and my kids love it. But it is priced at a premium, and they don't discount after a year or two like most other vendors in the industry.

@Northern_munkey I'm happy paying $70 for amazing games that I want to play. I feel that Nintendo's prices are higher than Sony's prices and I'm happy with both. I just bought Metroid Dread for $60. I love the game, its totally worth the price, but I feel like Sony charges $70 for much bigger production titles, when the premium price is more justified.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy GTA Trilogy?

poetwarlord

I was a mega GTA fan twenty years ago... I loved GTA 4+5 and RDR 1+2 too, but they were more slow + serious didn't have the same magic as the GTA trilogy. I'd buy budget price to see how my old favorites hold up, but otherwise I'd rather spend money + time enjoying newer titles.

Re: Reaction: E3 Is a Relic Desperately Clinging to Relevancy

poetwarlord

This post is annoying and over the top, "E3 is a relic desperately clinging to relevancy". Really? I kind of presume what I remember of the old E3 will fade way, but I'm not trying to throw E3 off a cliff and dance on it's grave. I want to see the new games and new hardware however the industry feels is the most efficient way of doing that.

Re: Talking Point: Did Sony Lie About PS5?

poetwarlord

Sony didn't lie or mislead. This definitely is not a typical generation transition. There probably will never be a "typical" console generation ever again. The poll options don't include this.

It seems really silly that people feel betrayed that GT7, Ragnarok, and the new Horizon Forbidden West games are cross-gen rather than PS5 exclusive.

I'm more offended that I can't buy a PS5 at normal retail prices. I can only buy through a scalper with a giant markup.

Re: Next-Gen PSVR for PS5 Sounds Mind Blowing

poetwarlord

I'm excited about the next PSVR, but I see no new interested details or news. Foveated rendering is just an optimization, that's not an exciting feature. I'll be super excited when they show more concrete details, more of the new controllers, games in action, preview videos...

Re: Talking Point: What Are Your Expectations for PSVR 2 on PS5?

poetwarlord

I expect the PSVR2 to fix the major flaws of PSVR1. It better have excellent controllers, tracking, resolution, refresh rate, simplicity. And it better offer bigger/deeper games than what you see on the Oculus Quest 2. The Oculus Quest 2 has a huge inherent advantage of being standalone and portable and being generally a great system, but I'm very eager to see and get PSVR2.

Re: Soapbox: Bring Back Warhawk on PS5, You Cowards

poetwarlord

The multiplayer shooter genre is full of quality games. There's always room for another, but I don't see anything special in Warhawk. It thrived largely because it was one of the first PS3 games. The sequel, Starhawk, wasn't successful.

Developers are better at creating new games than news media are at coming up with ideas like this one.

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

poetwarlord

Twilight Path is a 2+ year old PCVR port of a game that never generated a huge amount of excitement on PCVR.

The PSVR is old + stale hardware in 2020. Sony knows it. Devs know it. None of Sony's big studios are working on PSVR titles, and they shouldn't. When Sony does new VR hardware, that will inject life into the platform.

Re: Reaction: PlayStation's Most Ardent Fans Are Feeling Frustrated and Insecure

poetwarlord

Who is feeling frustrated and insecure about playing video games? I'm definitely not.

I play video games to deliver relaxation or inspiration. If games don't do that, then why bother? If playing video games is making you feel frustrated or insecure, then you probably should reevaluate your priorities.

As a consumer, I have no loyalty to companies like Sony. I admire them, I love their products, but if their products stop being awesome, I'll just stop using them.
