In the end, the most important thing for games is gameplay, I rather have gaming company pay their programmers more compared to voice actors.
Also I heard one of the reason some company like mihoyo didn't agree to union demand is because the union demanded that mihoyo didn't hire non-union voice actors and only union voice actors can works on their games 😕
@EfYI Yup, I'm less hyped for switch 2 now especially after knowing the ergonomic will be the same, playing on flat back portable isn't a good experience for my hand lol. I'm still buy it for the exclusives but I don't think switch 2 has the power to play modern AAA games 60 fps unlike the portal.
I just wish the portal has direct connection to ps5 like the wii u gamepad to wii u console though, sometimes my internet died for about a couple of second and my portal disconnected because of it 😕
Just bought a lot of discounted ps games for my ps portal (along with 1TB ssd expansion for ps5), including some games that I still play on switch and pc but want to continue playing it on ps portal now (since ps portal has better dpad & analogue, speaker, and bigger screen compared to switch).
Bought the 1st octopath traveller, gal guardian demon purge, astalon tears of the earth, narita boy, wonderboy the dragon trap, tmnt shredder revenge, and timesplitter future perfect since I just watch matt mcmuscles let's play on youtube and it looks super fun
Maybe for ps6 dualsense 2 can have 5inch screen rather than touchpad so players can play ps games wirelessly with internet streaming. It will be cool to just bring your ps6 controller and play ps games anywhere with internet connection.
It's not worth it anymore for asian gaming company to works with (western) union I think, not when they can find talented voice actors by themselves or using ai.
Nice, can't wait to play it both on my ps5 and ps portal when it launched complete 😃
@get2sammyb The long face is kind of weird but it give the game a bit of surreal vibes, like this is a fantasy world and not a real world. Given the choice I want a normal and not long face though, lol.
The game looks good, can't wait to play it on my ps5
@tangyzesty Yes this, I can't believe it that the ori games aren't available on ps4 & ps5 yet. I already have it on my pc and switch but I want to play it 4K on my tv or playing it portable on ps portal (I prefer the ps portal analogue and dpad stick compared to switch).
I recommend the mummy demastered ($8), lost ruins ($10), granblue fantasy relink ($30), live a live ($20), valkyrie profile lenneth (psp port, $10), vengeful guardian moonrider ($10), warhammer 40k boltgun ($11), and powerslave exhumed ($9)
Also just bought ridge racer 2 (psp port, $10) a couple of days ago. I also recommend sword of the vagrant ($4 or $3 with psplus), a 2D action rpg with art style that looks like dragon crown.
@ProfessorNiggle Kojima can't put snake 100% likeness since I'm sure konami will say something about it lol. But I think snake-like secret agent is just too cool of a concept to be abandoned (beside mgs remake).
@Flaming_Kaiser We don't have to play the game as a job though, I don't like collecting the daily reward or whatever that is in genshin impact, the moment the game feels like a slog, I leave it for another games. Yes the brainwashing isn't good but most new AAA games from western publishers already cost $70 but still have mtx (looking at you diablo 4) 😕
My backlog is so large that I don't have time for free to play games right now though, I'm mostly playing indie games on my pc and ps portal.
Playing unicorn overlord on my ps portal, already have more than 7 hours on switch but (re)playing on portal is way more comfortable with better grip (no flat back here), bigger screen, and louder speaker.
There are no console wars now, xbox has gone 3rd party, sony now port their 1st party games to pc, nintendo still have exclusive but you can't have war where there's only one participant 😅
@Cornpop76 Dude, Steam deck oled already available with cpu from years ago, if sony want to make ps4 pro like portable comparable to steam deck oled in battery life, they can. It's not delorian level technology
@Flaming_Kaiser I like genshin impact, can't wait for path of exile 2 and I want to try zzz (my ps5 hdd already full so I have to finish a couple of games first)
@Thumper I mean, nintendo also have shareholders and investors but they seems fine, and sony ps1-ps4 era also have it, they also seems fine. I think it's fine as long as the shareholders doesn't demand esg initiative or something weird like that.
@Cornpop76 If valve can make portable that run ps4 and some ps5 games why sony can't? Expecting that isn't wanting a jetpack, that's the portable device that valve, a company that smaller than sony mind you, can make. Of course the price should be more expensive than ps portal if sony made that.
@Coffeeglitch Yup, you won't see japanese, chinese, or korean developers go against their customers on social media, it's only western devs that does this, which I think is weird.
@DuncanDisorderly Is that some kind of slang? I'm not from english so I don't understand. I mean if you like concord-like characters you should support concord while the game still alive back then, concord failed because people that like it only saying it on twitter/x and not buying the game.
The new hotness right now is china gaming developers, there's suddenly a lot AAA games from china emerging from playstation showcase, like tides of annihilation. I think most investors will stay away from western and goes to china/east gaming now.
@Godot25 Maybe because those devs isn't the one that made those billions revenue, they're the one that made negative revenue on the company.
@get2sammyb Like me lol, I hate it with a passion back then, but now I love this thing. I play ps5 a lot more now with ps portal, playing 2D games on it is like playing on psp/psvita successor. Oled screen and native wifi connection to ps5 will make ps portal 2 a hit I think 😃
@Cornpop76 It's not a handful, it's a new sony portable but it only can do streaming while most ps users want a true portable system like the switch, of course the discourse will be negative.
At first I'm a hater of ps portal, but now I'm the biggest supporter of it. It's like wii u gamepad on steroid, just add native wifi compability to ps portal 2 (like wii u and it's gamepad, no internet needed) and it will be perfect I think 😃
Also the system looks weird but it's very comfortable to hold (again, just like wii u gamepad), and the midnight black version is really good.
@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare Yup, they can't make skeleton enemy in chinese version for example, or excessive blood, but tencent is pretty chill for their western games. Kind of sad but now I prefer chinese censor compared to usa (california) censor, I mean just looks at marvel rivals, what happen if it's made in usa, all the characters design will be butchered, all of the characters will be concord-like lol.
Day one for me, gears 1 & 2 are my most favorite games on xbox 360 back then, and I never played gears 3 since I'm back to playstation (3) ecosystem back then 😃
@DennisReynolds Thanks for the info, still undecided whether to buy turok trilogy or unicorn overlord (discounted to $30 on psn). Already have turok 1 & 2 on steam but want to play it on tv (ps5), and I already have unicorn overlord on switch but I want to play it on ps portal 1080p & 8inch screen
Trying playing 3D heavy games on my portal, elden ring and high on life (got it from psplus). This ps portal thing is amazing, just for fun I tried playing elden ring while my ps5 is downloading a couple games, the result? I can't find the difference between playing natively on ps5 or streaming on ps portal, it's even better than playing 2D games, it's kind of crazy. I still prefer playing 3D games on tv though, with big tv and 5.1 surround sound, but it's so nice playing 3D games at 1080p & 60 fps while I'm on my bed before sleep. My ps5 has become my wii u 😃
Also just bought dualsense 30th anniversary edition, it's so good 😁
I won't redeem dragon age failguard, I don't want it in my games library lol. Tmnt collection is good, and sonic colors is okay I guess. I don't think this month is "insane" though.
I had steam deck (non oled) about a year or two ago, it's a nice system for playing pc indie games (which there are a lot) and emulation, while it's a bit heavy, it's really comfortable to hold and use.
The problem is the price is the same as ps5, there's no way I can justify that, not when I already have nintendo switch. And now with ps portal, I didn't want steam deck anymore since I can play / stream 2D and 3D games on it. Playing elden ring at 1080p and smooth 60 fps on handheld is a pretty cool experience 😃
Maybe if valve made cheaper steam deck lite oled without all the extra bells & whistles (no trackpad, etc) I'll be interested in it again.
Nier automata sold about 9M, why squareenix didn't make the sequel, like, yesterday? Rather than making splatoon clone, that weird card game, or that platinum games mmo, squareenix should make nier automata 2 with yoko taro and platinum games.
