The people who know how to make these TVs are dying off. I've picked up 5 SD CRT TVs for free off Craigslist, and been playing tons of retro gaming on original hardware since 2016.
No emulator can recreate that instantaneous pin point precision of CRT light gun gaming. It's worth picking up one of those big bastard TVs for that alone.
I very rarely agree with you, but here we are.
Yep, they have been for at least 6 months, since the release of the PS5 / XSX.
I still play games from that generation (and older) frequently. I actually have more fun with older games than the current micro-trash-action always-online, endless-grinding, filler games of the modern era.
If legendary game consoles like Super Nintendo / PS1 / PS2 are considered A+, then the Series S|X are considered a flat out F by comparison.
If we're not comparing this system to previous A+ consoles, then it gets a D with no current-gen games and shall remain this way for the foreseeable future. What a shame. What a waste of teraflops.
DJ and DJFFNY were good because they were developed by AKI/ASMIK. The same team that developed N64 WWF games. If its by the same team, sure, make a new one. If not, then nope, it'll be trash, like DJ Icon (the same team behind Tony Hawk Ride and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 if you didn't know).
The director of WWF No Mercy is currently developing the upcoming AEW game, so there's hope for that to replace Def Jam series. But we'll have to reserve judgement un...
Ah, so basically Sony listened to the fans clamoring for cross play. In order for that to occur, they made an intelligent business deal so that they don't lose revenue, which is completely logical and acceptable for them to do. But now people are trying to spin this in a negative way.
Lots of idiots on Twitter trying to make Sony come across poorly in light of this. Losers.
I honestly can't believe the fanatical lengths some people go to in order to defend their favorite conglomerates.
He clearly loves the PlayStation brand (as do I), but he's angry that 2 digital stores will remain for the foreseeable future. Just why? That simply means more PlayStation goodness, yet he desires less PlayStation goodness.
He's trying his best to 'save face' because he previously defended Sony so hard on their bad decision...
I agree that Dakrborn's post was pointless drivel, comes across has some sort of damage control for nothing.
However, S-E never put Crisis Core on PSN.
Gotta buy the UMD, or mod your PSP / PS Vita / PS TV to play it. Or emulate if you're into that.
What's sad is that those games are in genres that I love to play. I would have bought them if they were given more time to be properly planned out, coded, and polished.
It sucks to see so much time, energy, and potential be wasted because of business executives wanting to rush out a product.
Best post made on this article. 👍
I never visit Metacritic or Opencritic, I don't care about other people's opinions anymore. I used to be influenced by others on message boards, but I ended up buying games that were good but weren't for my tastes, or I simply bought bad games.
This doesn't happen as often anymore, I watch video footage of a game, I'll find out if it's a broken buggy mess or not, and that's all I really need to k...
As a huge light gun fan, I'm going to remain skeptical until the controls are actually confirmed to work well.
Not interested in playing with an analog stick, and the JoyCon motion control isn't up to snuff since there's no IR bar to help with calibration.
Until then I'll just play THOTD on Saturn with a real light gun, or with the Sinden gun on a modern TV.
YES! But also I want to see BC, there's nothing stopping Sony from doing it. Very frustrating they willfully disregard their own awesome past.
Jim Ryan is not the reason why PS5 and PSN are so successful. He's just a suit.
PS5 and PSN are so successful because Sony built up over 20 years of consumer trust and fanaticism.
There were far less third party games on N64 and Saturn compared to PS1, which dominated the market.
Trend continued the next generation as well.
Jim Ryan didn't create the IPs that made gamers fall in love with the PS brand. From early Crash Bandicoot, to Ape Es...
Should we? Yes. But not for shutting down servers of old games.
AKI N64 and early Smackdown! Yukes games still hold up great to this day! People who plan on buying this new turd should play those games instead. Easy to emulate, fun to play, and amazing with other players.
Phil Spencer has been the worst thing to happen to the Xbox division. He's canceled games, released broken unfinished games, bought studios but has nothing to show for it, and will continue to show nothing for another 2-3 years.
He's also the first executive in history to launch a new console without a single new game. My interest has continuously nosedived in Xbox since 2013, and he's done literally nothing to get me back on board again. Its a shame because I l...
Not a spicy hot take at all. Its an accurate statement, and Ubisoft are one of the biggest offenders in modern gaming.
I got fed up with this stale, all-filler-no-killer series. Boring characters and stories, boring combat mechanics, boring game worlds that are too big for their own good. Endless grinding, where they sell you the solution via micro-trash-actions.
Nuts to you Ubisoft, I'm done with AC.
Yeah the dev team didn't fully make the most out of the concept for the game, but I'm blaming Square-Enix as well. They have a long history of releasing half-baked low-budget games that had potential.
The Quiet Man, Fear Effect Sedna, Left Alive. All games that needed more dev time.
If a publisher is starting a consistent trend where you don't give developers enough time to properly plan out, code, and polish your game, then you can't blam...
I'm sure his next game will be on PC as well. Its a very smart move to release it first on PlayStation consoles, wait a year or two, then release it on PC.
Even Sony first party games like Days Gone, Horizon, Detroit, etc. are following this procedure. Its a good business move and it doesn't harm the PlayStation ecosystem all that much since they've already gotten the vast majority of the sales that platform would have generated already.
I've played this game a lot and had a blast (pun intended!). I know that Bomberman Battle Royale may sound off-putting to some, but give it a try, I don't care for any of the popular Battle Royale games, but this one is different. Don't ignore this game when it arrives for your platform of choice.
You can play as chibi versions of classic gaming characters from Naked Snake, to Pyramid Head, to Simon Belmont, and more.
