Re: Activision Confirms Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 Won't Be Free Roam on PS5, PS4

zhoont

I platinumed THPS 1+2, and I can't understand the implications of this until I see it. I guess this means they have different challenges in the levels than they originally did because there will now be the 2 minute time constraint? I don't view that as a problem, but I can understand that a fan of the original would not like the change.

Re: Rumour: Gears of War's PS5 Debut May Be Missing Multiplayer Modes

zhoont

This is a massive problem in my opinion, but I don't think it will affect sales or reception... I just would really enjoy jumping into Gears 2 & 3 multiplayer again with other people also "new" or returning to the series (we are rusty). If you go play new gears multiplayer now everyone playing are absolute demons, phenoms

Re: 'Don't Bet' on The Last of Us 3, Warns Neil Druckmann

zhoont

I'll self-unalive myself if I don't get another TLOU game. I don't NEED part 3, but I NEED Factions and I NEED another new entry. The obvious place to draw from is the 20 years between 0 day and when Part 1 starts. There's so much to draw from there

Re: Beat Saber Wades into Rap Beef, Anti-Drake Anthem Now Available

zhoont

Best Saber getting the bag. It's the unpopular opinion I think, but the song is not that great- and that Superbowl set was horrible. Kendrick's albums have only gotten worse since Section 80 imo . Drake's disstrack Family Matters was better: "Kdot sh** only hitting when Baby Keem put his pen to it"

Re: Space Marine 2 Dev Teases Patch 7 Details, 'Very Different' Horde Mode

zhoont

My friend enjoyed this game so much we played through the whole thing in one sitting on a Saturday. The multiplayer is surprisingly decent, it reminds me of old PS3 multiplayer suites when every game had multiplayer included. It felt like it could use more content and depth, so hopefully the rebalancing and reworks enhance that mode

Re: 'Expect the Unexpected' in Anticipated PS5 Exclusive Death Stranding 2

zhoont

@nessisonett there is nothing new under the sun... History repeats itself and just changes the time and place . I think you make a good point about the free speech possibilities... Maybe there will be ideas of "mind viruses" which has become a politically charged term , but in psychology ideas are known to spread and infect like a virus. Men like Higgs spreading falsehoods or fear mongering. Or it could be more "out-there" and lean into the strange concepts of people's Beaches, BTs, and how connecting people is increasing entropy in the world. I bet there will be an even heavier lean into children and/or BBs. Maybe some fertility and birthrate subject matter, too? Really looking forward to more Hideo

Re: "Most of the Devs" Reportedly Laid Off from The Callisto Protocol Studio, Striking Distance

zhoont

It's just so sad to me still that The Callisto Protocol "failed". I love the game, it's absolutely awesome and I really enjoy the combat and main character. For me it does lack enemy variety compared to Dead Space on paper, and the boss fights are not excellent... but the visuals, horror design, and gameplay are top for me. It is even better on Pro & with the DLCs. Don't overlook the game. I'm sad the studio is forced to cultivate it's "agility" so soon again :/

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for March 2025 Announced

zhoont

This is a really good month! I am actually really happy I get to play Dragon Age this soon, I expected another 12 months at least until it was put into EA play. If I wasn't poor I would've given the game a chance on release. Jaffee and Gene said good things about it

Re: Space Marine 2 Dev Partners with Hasbro, Working on 'Tentpole IP'

zhoont

Warhammer 40k is an IP that only gets better in video games form as video games mature and graphics/performance improves. I think that's the case with Transformers, too. In the late 2000s you could never do a PS3 game which could emulate the insane movie CGI of cars transforming back and forth- but that can probably be done pretty soon. I think a new AAA transformers game could be cool.

Re: Directive 8020 Looks Like a PS5 Return to Form for Until Dawn Creator

zhoont

I'm interested, but the Dark Pictures games are ultimately disappointing & I can't imagine they will ever reach the level of Until Dawn again. Though copying The Thing is probably an easy way to have a good game. I just wish more of these actors were interesting to me. I feel like Until Dawn has an AMAZING cast.

Re: 35 PS5, PS4 Games You Should Grab in PS Store's Planet of the Discounts Sale

zhoont

I think I'd have fun doing a post like this every time a new sales comes around. I tend to comb through them, and I've played a lot so I could also do recommendations. For example, Dragon's Dogma 2 has been 40% off routinely since at least November of not earlier from what I recall, so I would point out one could wait and have it go on a higher sale later this year

Re: Black Ops 6, Warzone Ranked Play Will Be Less Sweaty Soon on PS5, PS4

zhoont

On its face you would assume there's a big gap between controller and mouse users in COD. But actually all the pros play on controller and the recoil patterns for guns on mouse are wilder. I don't know that it really matters too much, but I would have thought the option would have been there already so it's welcome. I'm just excited for Season 2 next week!

Re: WWE 2K25 Teased in Debut Netflix Live Show

zhoont

I've kinda fallen in love with WWE, both the game and some of the shows and wrestlers this year through 2k24 being free on PS Plus. These screenshots are looking great, Cody looks greatly improved, and so does Liv Morgan. I've been a bit obsessed with CM Punk so I'm glad to see he's looking good again. My dream wrestler right now is Jericho but that probably won't happen. The one thing the game could use is better multiplayer support. I've had a lot of problems with their servers and I wish people would watch some of the character intros

Re: Call of Duty's Squid Game Skins Reignite Monetisation Debate

zhoont

This is a complete non-issue for me. I have played easily 20 hours since this bundle has come out and I haven't seen any of these skins used, just the black and green squid games skins. All the squid games skins fit the game in my opinion, too. I don't like the green dragon or the angel-winged suited armor guy. Hell even cartel Santa is more annoying than these. They haven't paywalled anything but cosmetics and probably half the people in my matches have bought a $20+ bundle , so they're taking in tons of money

Re: Rumour: The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Is Getting an Unreal Engine 5 Remake in 2025

zhoont

This is just a rumor, the first strong indicator was the NVidia leak which notoriously revealed many games before they were announced. The real confirmation was the Xbox court document from before Covid showing an Oblivion release in 2022 I think. This is one of my all-time favorite games but if they actually remake it I think it will lose all its charm. I think the best way to treat it would just be trying to get a high-res, good performance port with trophy support and maybe the mod manager.. You've got to keep the original voice lines and preferably all the assets and face models too

Re: Sony's Rounding Out 2024 with the Biggest Roster of PS5, PS4 Deals of the Year

zhoont

The current sales have so many games discounted already. If you're like me and your PSN wishlist is full, go over to Platprices.com and you can wishlist as many games as you like. There's also going to be a small crossover time where the previous sales have a handful of hours left and the new sale has also just started, so you could surveil all the games on sale at once and find the best deals. Platprices also shows the discount history of games so you can see if it's the current lowest price yet
