Re: Clair Obscur Expedition 33 Dev Won't Add Mini Map, Discovery a Key Part of Promising PS5 RPG

If there's an in game reason for it, and the devs are passionate about it then I can respect this. But I feel like too many games are forcing the use of a compass instead of letting the player toggle a mini map or compass. This gets annoying because too often games - Ghost of Tsushima and Assassin's Creed Odyssey/Origins come to mind - will give you a search area for a quest, but because you only have a compass, it isn't clear where the boundaries of this search area are, so you can spend a lot of time just trying to gauge where you're supposed to be looking. Again, it seems like Sandfall have put much thought into it, but overall I'd prefer if devs just let the player toggle a mini map or compass.

Re: Ex-Xbox System Seller Starfield Edges Ever Closer to PS5

I played it for around 125 hours on Series X and absolutely loved it at first. But then I began to realize how tedious planetary exploration was, how locations were copy and pasted, and just how segmented the game world was. Still, overall I had a good time with the game, and would love to revisit it on PS5 with all of the new features and quality of life enhancements.

Re: The Order: 1886 Dev Pitched a Sequel to Sony, But Was Denied

I had a lot of fun with 1886 in the short amount of time it lasted and my goodness was it the easiest platinum I've ever gotten. I definitely would've played a sequel, as the ending clearly set one up, but I don't think multiplayer would've been a good idea. A potential sequel would've needed to be longer with more compelling gameplay.

Re: PS Productions Plotting a Resident Evil Movie Reboot

I did not like Barbarian at all, but I'm hoping he can do a good job. Welcome to Raccoon City had it's heart in the right place, but it made the mistake of trying to cram the first two games into one 107 minute film, when the obvious choice should've been to focus solely on the first game and the Spencer Mansion. The first Paul WS Anderson film kind of did this, but it was just so off the walls and featured none of the characters from the game for some reason. Here's hoping this new adaptation finally gets it right.
