Re: Sony London's Cancelled PS5 Game Seemingly Revived as Cast Outs

xDD90x

I have no interest in this, but coincidentally, I just beat Blood & Truth, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It's evident from that title that London Studio was a really talented team. It's a shame the game is stuck on the clunky PS VR with its outdated tech, which definitely holds it back. It really deserves to be ported to PS VR2 and/or PC. Same is true for all of Sony's other VR exclusives, such as Astro Bot Rescue Mission, Farpoint, Iron Man VR.

@PerpetualBoredom "racism"?! If that's racism then this article is also contains racism. The only difference is one's fictional and the other is real. But for some odd reason you'd rather devalue a serious term instead of educating yourself through a simple Google search. Anyway, go ahead, have the last word and carry on.

Re: Call of Duty Continues to Handle PS5 Trophies in the Worst Way Possible

xDD90x

I don't understand what the devs are thinking with the way CoD is handled on PS5, or how Sony allows it. I recently got a code for BO6 and I don't even know how to play the game because it appears in my collection simply as "Call of Duty" with the BO7 artwork. When I select it, it then prompts me to select either the PS4 or PS5 version of "Call of Duty Zombies". Meanwhile, all I care about is the campaign mode. It's so unintuitive. And the trophy situation is absolutely ridiculous. How do the devs not know that no one wants this?

Re: Give the Fantastic Space Marine 2 a Shot with Free PS5 Demo, Out Now

xDD90x

@Midnyte-Monkey That's exactly what I did and it only showed the two anniversary editions and the new demo. I just went back to the PS app on my phone and it was still showing the same thing, however, I then refreshed the page and the $35 standard edition is now showing, but the demo isn't there anymore. Not sure what's going on.

Re: Crash Team Racing Has Topped 10 Million Units, But Is Still Locked to 30fps

xDD90x

I've been playing this recently. It really does deserve a 60fps patch, but I found that after a few minutes of play I got used to it. It seems like the 30fps in this game is a lot smoother than other games; I'm not sure why. What was more noticeable was the long load times and even the 1440p resolution. I'd be more than satisfied with a PS5 frame rate patch, but a native PS5 version that offers 60+ fps, 4k and eliminates loading would be really great. I would just hope it would be discounted for owners of the PS4 version.

Re: Warhammer 40k: Space Marine Remaster Misses Out on PS5 for Some Reason, Exclusive to Xbox and PC

xDD90x

@Cambrius That's not how remastering works. Developers don't remaster each old console version for their respective modern console counterparts. They choose one version and use that as the base for the remaster for all modern platforms. Additionally, remastering one console version of a game isn't inherently more difficult than doing so with another console version. I think you are confusing remastering with emulation.

Re: Rumours of a Red Dead Redemption 2 PS5 Version Swirl Again

xDD90x

I gave up waiting for a patch and finally played it on PC instead. Incredible game. I don't think I could go back to the PS4 version even if they did add 60fps because the game looks too amazing on PC. If they release a native PS5 version that holds up to the PC version then I'll definitely double dip for the trophies. Especially if the load times are improved.

Re: As Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Passes 2 Million Players, Ubisoft Teases More to Come

xDD90x

PoP was my favorite IP back in the PS2 generation. I'm looking forward to the Sands of Time remake, but I truly hope we get a new 3D entry at some point. A sequel to PoP 2008 would be cool, or even another reboot. I'd also take another entry in the SoT story line, but the last one, Forgotten Sands, had a pretty underwhelming story, although the platforming gameplay was top-notch.

Re: Returnal, Saros Dev Is Teasing... Something for Its 30th Anniversary

xDD90x

It would be nice if they patched Returnal with PS5 Pro support. The upscaled 1080p resolution could really benefit from PSSR, or even just a higher render resolution. It's strange that it hasn't been patched by now. I think it's one of the only first party PS5 titles to not get a Pro patch (alongside Sackboy and a few PS4 remasters).

Re: Tony Hawk's Call to Remove Classic Tunes from Pro Skater 3 + 4 OST

xDD90x

The original soundtrack was such an important part of those games, so replacing songs in the remaster is too much of a change. They could make the new songs optional additions, or put them in a new game, but removing some of the originals is a mistake. Nostalgia is a large part of the appeal of these remasters.

Re: Killzone Remasters Would Be Cool, Says Series Composer, and We Completely Agree

xDD90x

I would love remastered collection. Mercenary on Vita was also excellent; Guerilla Cambridge should have been given a shot at a full console title before they were shuttered.

It's pathetic how Sony has neglected their PS3 catalog. It's such a relatively small investment to contract a few 3rd-party dev teams to do the remasters. And if they release them on PC as well they would easily make a nice profit. It's also a very limited list: Killzone, Resistance, Infamous, Ratchet, Motorstorm. They did the same thing for PS2 collections on PS3, so I don't understand their staunch reluctance when it comes to giving the same treatment to their PS3 titles.

Re: Must Own PS5, PS4 Games Discounted in Smaller PS Store Sale

xDD90x

This post lists "Jak & Daxter Collection", but that is only available on PS3. The game that's on sale is listed as "Jak and Daxter Bundle" and are the PS2 emulated versions. However, these appear to be the PS4 versions that run on the old emulator. I believe only the first title has been re-released with the new emulator for PS5. Does buying this bundle grant access to the new version?

Re: The Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered PS5 Trophies Are Once Again a Mess

xDD90x

I was expecting this, unfortunately. I don't understand why Sony changed the way trophy lists are handled on PS5. Why can't it be the same as PS4? What reason did they have to change it? How is it better? There are certainly improvements on PS5, such as trophy progress tracking, but this grouping change is a downgrade in every way and seems entirely unnecessary.

Re: Days Gone Remastered Is Real, Out for PS5 This April

xDD90x

@Stale-Bread Why would you assume it can't run at 4k/60fps? It most certainly will run at 4k/60 with PSSR considering how every other PS Studios game that supports the Pro runs at those settings. I mean, the PS4 version already runs at checkerboard-4K/60 on a standard PS5. I honestly don't understand where you're coming from with that comment.

Re: Rise of the Ronin PC Port Announced for March 2025

xDD90x

@Shad361 Ratchet and Returnal are not themed on PlayStation hardware and history. Additionally, Sackboy and Lego Horizon are their poorest performing titles on PC, so perhaps Sony realizes that family friendly platformers don't appeal to the PC market and porting titles such as Demons Souls and Bloodborne would be better investments.

Re: Rise of the Ronin PC Port Announced for March 2025

xDD90x

@Grumblevolcano I watched that interview back when it was posted and just rewatched it. He was asked "Do you have a message for PC players who are eager to someday play Astro Bot", and his response was "well we want to hear from you... Absolutely, we want to hear from you". That's just about the most neutral answer he could have given, so I wouldn't read much into that. So the question is definitely not 'when' it will come to PC, but 'if' it will come.

Re: Rise of the Ronin PC Port Announced for March 2025

xDD90x

@Grumblevolcano It's doubtful Astro Bot will be ported to PC; there's just too many references to PlayStation hardware. Also, Dualsense features are integral to the experience, but Dualsense support on PC is still not on par with PS5. I mean, it's possible, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Re: Monster Hunter Wilds Dev Making 'Steady Improvements' to PS5 Performance, PS5 Pro Patch Set for Launch

xDD90x

@Jayslow Seriously? You wrote the game off because they ran a beta test intended to help improve the final product. Do you understand what a beta build is? I can guarantee you that the game would be in a worse state at launch had they not ran the public beta test.

A beta is not a demo. If it could ruin the game for you, you're better off not playing it and waiting for the final release.
