That’s fine. I’ll get more comfortable pirating or not buying their games

• Give us some 1st party PSVR2 games that aren’t multiplayer only or zombie shooters.
• Bring out VR versions of SOCOM, Killzone & even though it’s not going to happen, Driveclub 2 (or get a new team to remaster it).
• Make existing PSVR2 games that use frame reprojection have the option of not using it on the PS5 Pro
• And stop following failed trends like live service games & focus on what Sony does well.

We need some big PSVR2 releases that aren’t multiplayer or zombie shooters.
Socom VR would be nice!
Also some news from their first parties as well.
Maybe PS5 Pro unveiling although I doubt that’ll be until the end of the year

The lack of VR in that game didn’t help, along with the egregious grind or pay up micro transactions on release made it difficult to like.

I loved the first game with the aim controller apart from waiting to get a game.
With this one, if I wanted to just press x to interact with everything, I’d play a flat screen game. And there should’ve been a focus on some more singleplayer modes to play when you got sick of waiting.

Lots of potential but this game completely missed the mark for what I wanted in a VR game for me.

Definitely getting if it means we don’t have to use reprojection in PSVR2 games. Would love to have GT7 running with the flat version’s quality settings & reprojection off.

Would also be nice to have the photo mode raytracing working in game as well

@Greenmekon yeah I’ve got this on PC with an RTX 4090 & the graphics are meh, with stutters at the worst possible times.
I’ve got a CSL DD Pro wheel & still can’t get it to feel as good as Dirt 2.0 & the WRC series either.
The stuttering should get patched out as it’s a known shader compiling issue with Unreal Engine 4 (why they shipped it before they’d done this, I don’t know).
I just wish they’d let the Evolution studios guys do the graphics since Drive Club still looks better than this game.
Bit disappointed in this current gen offering

If only we had more VR wave shooters 🙄

I hope there’s support for ultrawides & triples now & some simhub support as well.
So excited for this game.

Wonder if they’ve got an open practice area like in Dirt 2.0 to get our inner Ken Block on

@Jammsbro Exactly. Big guys can’t have as good cardio as the smaller guys because of the amount of oxygen required just to keep the muscles active.
Cain had great cardio for a Heavyweight, but no where near the best of any fighter. You just admitted that in your argument.
Also Cain only had two fights that made it to the 5th round & he wasn’t exactly looking like a spring chicken compared to someone like Max Holloway with a much higher output

@Jammsbro so we know you love Cain. I’ve seen him train, even met him when he came to NZ.
He had great cardio for a Heavyweight but nothing compared to the smaller guys like Mightymouse, Dominic Cruz. You can’t say he’s got better cardio than Max Holloway (record for most strikes in a fight), Nate Diaz or GSP.
*****, his Werdum fight he gassed out in the first round.

@Jammsbro 3 had the best stamina management in the whole series! You must’ve been button mashing & not picking your shots & combos.
Sea level Cain had the best cardio of the heavyweights, but he wouldn’t throw anything more than 6 strikes max without a break unless it was to finish a fight. If you tried to do a Shane Carwin, of course you’d gas out.

Of the EA attempts, EA MMA had the best submission game, with UFC 3 coming second. UFC. 3 was the best all round with stamina, balancing & ground game. UFC 2 had the most fun arcade style free flowing combos.
UFC 4 somehow got worse than 3 in almost every way but at least the striking is bareable now

@Jammsbro I’m not sure you knew how to play the game & manage stamina. 3 was great (after some patches & balancing issues).
4 was a buggy regression of 3 (still is) with a terrible ground game, dumbed down submission mini games & focus on non mma cosmetics.

I don’t have expectations for EA doing anything decent again with this franchise but deep down have hopes there’s still some passionate MMA devs left.

I hope they support this game longer than the 3 mins they did with WRC Generations

Is this different to the disclosed San Andreas game Meta announced over a year ago?

This needs to happen to the player who quits when they try to have another game. Just fake an online connection & have them do that to themselves.
Also maybe shame them if they’re a repeat quitter, like force an unchangeable ballerina skin or something

Looking forward to Crossfire & Firewall Ultra. Hoping WRC 23 comes out in VR too.

Didn’t Microsoft cull/drop a lot of their first party studios in the 360 days?
I loved my Xbox 360 back then & the games were awesome. I just remember seeing one studio after another being disbanded & wondering how they were going to compete.
Only took them 10 years to realise it was a mistake.

They kinda put themselves here in the first place. No doubt the old Xbox chief Poobah back then would’ve got a huge payout & pat on the back

I loved the Skate series but F2P just rubs me the wrong way. How long until they turn the servers off? 3 months?
Will I be able to play single player without random players floating all about the city
Will there be a decent career mode?

This is the type of game I’d love to play on a portable & just roam around the streets.

Still looking forward to trying it. I just think they may have imposed limits on the game itself & cursed the longevity by making it F2P.

I think they need to open the hardware up to PCVR.
I’m almost using my PSVR2 for GT7 (I’ve got a sim rig setup), but also have the Quest 2 with its much bigger library & PC VR library as well.

I’d love a SOCOM game or Rainbow 6 & Splinter Cell VR versions to come out (Ubisoft cancelled a great opportunity there).

Hope this has got manual reloading (way more fun in VR).
Finally glad a single player mil VR shooter is coming out. Hopefully this will keep me going until Gunman Contracts is finished

PSVR2 showcase was disappointing for me because most of those games had already been announced & shown off.
Still looking forward to Crossfire SS, but really wanted to see a roadmap of unheard of titles.

Also Sony first party Studios. Where were they?

@Darude84 Generations is packed with content but worse than WRC10.
You need to tune all the setups to even get the driving bearable. Not to mention the acceleration bug & crazy oversteer when using the handbrake.
FFB somehow went backwards as well.

I'm all for it. Would be nice to run games with ray traced option at 60fps with everything on, as well as run games on PSVR2 without having to use reprojection (looking at you GT7 & RE8).

Everyone else questioning why we need one can just keep their existing PS5s. No one gets hurt

@Reeneman yeah it’s the steering wheels that need to be fixed or brought back to the state before they needed it.
They’re changing the physics on the damper effects & suspension which affect detail on FFB so fingers crossed

oooh, if the physics updates fix the FFB for wheels as well as controller, I'll be extremely happy!

I wish they’d actually focused on finishing the current game before starting the new one.
The campaign still feels half baked & incomplete, FFB is bland, still hardly any events once you’ve completed the campaign & there’s a distinct lack of cars from the last 5 years. Not to mention the crap economy, state of engine swaps & split screen bugs

I guess they do need to look at building a game for the current gen consoles (or next) from the ground up if they want to compete with the new Forza….which Im looking forward to as well

Looking forward to this.
I stopped playing GT7 because the FFB was crap (using the Fanatec GT DD Pro).

I’d moved onto AMS2 which is one of the best VR & non VR driving experiences , but hoping Polyphony patch the FFB for the new release to pull me back in.

@neonpizza don’t forget about the great games available on Quest 2 already. It has a much better library than the release lineup & combined with a PC - which you can still play wirelessly, you have access to the great titles like HL: Alyx & Contracts, Automobilista 2, Onward, Resident Evil 2 (modded) etc.

I’m saying that, I’ll be getting the PSVR2 & Quest 3

I just hope Sony bring out a single player & co-op SOCOM game

@ROTTIEMAN16 thanks, I was going to ask about this. We’ve waited so many years for Sony to give us thumbsticks & I’d be annoyed if they only gave us the gimmicky wave arms solution.

I guess with the sideways circular combat game we’re not going to get the next Half Life Alyx or Contractors experience, but I’ll reserve my judgment until I get my hands on it.

Was so excited for this but am now tempering my expectations.

Looking forward to GT7 & Firewall though.

@Dloki that’s awesome! It’s come a long way since then too.
Would definitely be a great addition to the PS5.
I still have hopes for GT7 (especially once the PSVR2 comes out) but will probably give it a few more months before I hop in again.
This months car selection (aside from the VGTs that no one really wants) looks great

@KundaliniRising333 I think we have all recognised it but these media outlets aren’t holding them accountable.

I stopped playing after buying a Fanatec GT DD Pro & realising the FFB is crap & there’s been no appetite to fix it (among the rigged lottery & terrible economy system).

Switched to AMS2 (on PC) & haven’t looked back.

@Bizzy you’re not taking into account inflation & chip shortages. We don’t know how many Sony are producing or can produce by Feb 23, so there might not be many units on sale, which can also justify the price. Not to mention the head tracking tech, lenses, cameras & screens in that set of hardware.
*****, the Quest 2, a 2 year old system went up $100 in price.

@dds292 how is Sony pushing it down our throats & why do you think VR is a gimmick?

The Quest 2 headset had sold 14.8million units up to May alone. That’s just one headset.

It’s also the most immersive way to play driving & flying games - not to mention shooters like Contractors & Onward.

Sounds like you’ve never tried a proper VR setup.

If only Rockstar put this care into their recent remasters. Given they weren’t remakes, it would’ve been nice to see this amount of effort put in, instead of reusing their mobile versions with some AI up resd textures.

This looks great!

Two of them are reskins. A new track would be nice, otherwise I hope this at least fixes some of the major issues with the game like FFB, the penalty system, ability to sell cars, the blatant grind economy, lack of races for tracks & cafe entrees.

SOCOM & Syphon Filter could do with some Naughty Dog like remakes or even new games.
Non Sony games I'd love a similar quality remake of:

• GTA Vice City (not the ***** mobile Rockstar up res versions we got)
• Rainbow Six Vegas
• Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
• Splinter Cell Conviction
• Fight Night Champions
• EA Skate 2 (not the new free to play one coming out)

@KidBoruto sorry you missed my sarcasm. I did read the whole article & my comment was tongue in cheek.
If you understood the current state of the game & what PD have done (or haven’t) it might’ve made more sense

I stopped playing months ago & am still waiting for them to fix the FFB.

While the driving is fun to play, it feels like a F2P game with a $70 price tag.

I can’t imagine much of the player base having an appetite for Vision cars & there’s still a huge gap of cars missing from post GT Sport years.
They need more tracks, non vision cars, more races for normal cars & make the economy fairer to everyone who paid full price for this game.

Can’t believe the ability to sell cars is still not in this game with the price of the legend cars as they are.

With the Hagerty’s ‘real life’ pricing valuation, the ‘97 911 GT1 car has almost tripled in price to $9Mil. This game has really become the Real Poverty Simulator.

It’s a shame these review sites aren’t holding PD accountable for this *****.

@Jaz007 a lot of it was all the cosmetics from Microtransactions. Even if you didn’t own them, they were downloaded to the console regardless so you could see them on other players. That & a duplication of the same assets across the different modes caused major bloat.

Awesome! I hope he plays the bad mechanic that doesn’t fix the FFB, then gets promoted to CEO & raises the prices of all the cars.

I have hopes for a proper Assassins Creed game which goes back to focusing on stealth, parkour, a proper combat system & of course assassinations.

I feel like the Japan scenario is going to be wasted on the RPG, looting, hack n slash gameplay where that would be the prime location for parkour & stealth gameplay (that we wanted since completing the 1st game).

In saying that, I still think Ubisoft have no idea what everyone wants (maybe they’re learning?), when they’re offering us mobile games & forgetting about their other franchises.

Is Tennent behind the push for mobile maybe?

Where’s the next Rainbow Six game? (That’s not mobile or a hero shooter like the current state of their aging game)

Why don’t Sony invest in their own military shooters.

Buy out the 6 Days in Fallujah team, bring back SOCOM (especially for VR) or create some completely new IP, instead of crying about it.

They pay other teams to delay releases to Xbox or have exclusive content so can’t really moan about the other side doing the same.

I’d love to see what they could do with the Rainbow Six franchise if they ever got it.

(I’m still bitter about them disbanding the Driveclub team when it could’ve become one of their best racing franchises)

I hope they’re not stuck waiting in one of their lobbies! 😜
Subtle digs aside, Firewall was not only one of the best multiplayer PSVR experiences but also shooters that still holds up along with PC VR greats like Contractors, Pavlov & Onward.
I hope the next iteration they improve the AI & have a proper singleplayer campaign.

I only stopped playing because the lobby to playing ratio was too painful & the solo offering was just too basic.

Looking forward to what they come up with

Looks like Ubisoft ran out of games they could squeeze more micro transactions into & placed them in their company

Ahh the beauty of love service games. They’re always temporary. This game isn’t my cup of tea (most of Ubisoft’s current barstardisation of all their Tom Clancy IP isn’t either).

They need to roll the incompetent suits at the top, even if they were there from the beginning. They need to start focusing on making great games first, instead of building ***** games around monetisation.

@IronMike agreed.
I stopped playing because the FFB was so crap, even after the last update - and that’s on the Fanatec DD pro as well. I don’t know how they made it worse than GT Sport.
I’ve gone back to Automobilista 2 until they sort that out.
They need to fix their last overcompensation fix for RWD cars too. That, add some modern current cars (non of the VGT crap), add sell cars, fix the economy, let us buy engine swaps instead of loot boxing, fix the online penalty system, add the rest of the unfinished cafe stuff, and give us more tracks.

@Reeneman FFB needs fixing - they’ve improved it a bit but it’s probably currently the worst among any sim. It’s still worse than GT Sport currently.
Physics need fixing, online penalties, the car economy, ability to sell cars & engine swaps.

How are these execs still remaining in their jobs? Surely they’d be better off working in casinos or building ATM machines because all they know how to do is extract money from people in the least exciting way.

Live service is just a buzz word for (release unfinished).

EA are egregious with microtransactions in their full priced games. Imagine how ***** their free to play ones will be.

Skate 4
ESBC Boxing Club
God of War 2
COD Modern Warfare 2 because of Infinity Ward
6 Days in Fallujah (if it comes out this year)
