Re: Poll: Five Years of PS5 - How Would You Rate Sony's Console?

teatimed

The pandemic had a huge effect on the launch of the PS5, no doubt about it, but I blame Jim Ryan and the live service push as well as the closure of Japan Studios for why the library has been so poor. I’ve loved the ps4 backwards compatibility so that I can continue to play last gen games, but I think the ps5 would have been a hug failure without it. I hope to see a greater commitment to single player games, which is their forte, and not trying to squirm their way into the live service market hoping to win the Fortnite lottery

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

teatimed

Nothing in this presentation made me say "Wow, now I need to get an XBOX". Lots of Console Launch Exclusives which is very vague in terms of where it will be coming to. After the PS5 event, I was ecstatic and couldn't wait for next gen Resident Evil, Spiderman and Deathloop. There was nothing about the Xbox Event that made me excited for Next Gen. I'm hoping that Gamescom will fill in some of the gaps in the launch year calendar. Fingers crossed for the Hogwarts game to finally be officially revealed

Re: PS5 Confirmed to Be Backwards Compatible with PS4 Games

teatimed

I have bought way more games this generation than any other so this is incredibly comforting for me. It also means I won’t have a console where there is almost nothing to play on it for months. If i’m going to upgrade, i’d prefer not to have to switch to my ps4 every time I want to play kingdom hearts 3

Re: Tangled Shines in New Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer

teatimed

I got to play the demo at PAX AU last weekend. Twice at the Square Enix booth which was like an hour long queue and then for over half an hour because there were 3 unattended stations at the XBOX booth. I just waltzed up, asked if there was a line, which there wasn't, and then played through the Toy Story demo for as long as I wanted. It feels like a finished game, much like the RE2 demo I played, and I'm very much looking forward to sinking my teeth in this January

Re: Are There Even Plans for PSX 2018 At This Point?

teatimed

I’d like it if they skip Paris games week so there’s more packed into the PSX keynote. I definitely felt it last year. It seemed like they’d put everything into Paris games week and the game awards so there was nothing left for psx. I live in Australia so the location doesn’t really matter to me. I just love having the game awards and psx packed in together

Re: Sony Improving and Increasing First-Party Production

teatimed

I'm hoping that the PS5 is very similar to the PS4 from a development standpoint so that the first party teams are able to adapt and make game without having to overcome that initial hardware hurdle. Having played God of War and Detroit in the past month, I'm really excited to see more games at this level of quality.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Ditches Traditional Campaign Mode

teatimed

I've always played the campaigns of COD and haven't played multiplayer since Modern Warfare 2. I was super excited to see what they did since all of the Black Ops instalments have had great campaigns. Sad to say Black Ops IIII just isn't for me. I'll be stuck in RDR2 for months anyway so I'm not majorly disappointed.

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on Red Dead Redemption 2 Yet?

teatimed

I've been sold since the first concept art. I trust Rockstar to make a solid game and each trailer makes the game look even better. I was a little disappointed with Trailer #3 because there was no lack of gameplay but I suppose that's just me being greedy. We'll be getting it the same day as PAX AUS down under which was the same release date as AC: Origins, Wolfenstein 2 and Mario Odyssey last year. Seems like that date is going to be a consistently good day for games

Re: Feature: 15 Games We Want to See at E3 2018

teatimed

I voted Ghost of Tsushima since TLOU2 is already confirmed to appear and I feel like sucker punch have way more to prove with this new IP. That gameplay snippet that was shown at the end of the reveal trailer had me super hyped and i’d love to see some extended gameplay to really get a sense of how ghost of Tsushima plays

Re: Rumour: Alleged PlayStation 5 Details Make Their Way Online

teatimed

I think it's important to say that although devkits have gone out, it is just SemiAccurate's speculation that it'll be released in 2018. Those dev kits could be for companies like Guerilla Games who are planning on releasing the next Horizon on the PS5 and have only just begun development for a PS5 launch year release

Re: Talking Point: Can Sony Actually Surprise at E3 2018?

teatimed

The Last of Us 2 Gameplay is all I need. Ghost of Tsushima getting an on stage demo similar to Spiderman last year would be awesome. I've also just become really excited for what Naughty Dog do after TLOU2. They've closed the book on Uncharted for at least 5 years (not an actual number just my guesstimate) so what do they bring next? Uncharted in space would be awesome but i'm sure whatever they do it will knock our socks off

Re: Poll: Is 2018 Looking Bright for PlayStation?

teatimed

Kingdom Hearts 3
Red Dead Redemption 2
God of War
Detroit: Become Human
Spiderman
Days Gone
Wolf Among Us: Season 2
Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom
Shadow of the Colossus
Those are my confirmed must-buys for the year and we don't even know half the games coming out in the second half of 2018

Re: UK Politicians and Campaigners Lobby Against Detroit: Become Human

teatimed

“Domestic violence isn’t a game and this simply trivialises it”. I wholeheartedly disagree. I don’t believe this politician really did their research. As someone living in Australia where we only recently got an R18+ rating, it pains me to see this. This game is not about child abuse, it’s a very unique narrative driven “adventure” game that happens to contain child abuse if you fail to intervene. Also, why would children be harmed by this? What part of the game allows you to abuse children? Also Weren’t beyond two souls and heavy rain MA and R18? I assume Detroit will be as well and that should do more than enough to protect those likely to be offended. The ratings are there for a reason. Don’t force artists to censor their work because you’re not a responsible enough parent to stop your child playing a game rated well above their age range
