Orchard, you are trying to compare a ‘single’ player games always online requirement to an entire console online requirement.
As you mentioned a DRM issue, but you can actually launch and play some modes offline in that game, which is very different from Xbox console DRM which games cannot even be launched.
You know the always online requirement in your favorite game is to legitimize track times, and most would agree there should be an offline ‘unranked’ ...
Since the 2013 DRM debacle I think it’s safe to say one console manufacturer hasn’t listened, or just really really want to control your gaming box and software after purchase regardless of the ‘pressure’ gamers put on them. Or the manufacturer is hoping gamers forgot about 2013 or blind to it.
Either way I don’t think the ‘Big 3’ need to be listening since 2 of them haven’t perused console and game DRM- and thus those manufacturers have been listening, watching the others ...
Dialogue select is why I can’t stand RPGs. I could only put 10hrs into Zero Dawn and won’t be coming back for the sequel.
It literally makes me want to scream and throw my controller that I have to select dialogue for what could be a cutscene. Could I just watch the cutscene please and not have to click a button until I finally select the right sentence to progress with my mission? Waste of time to me, and if high enough annoyance that I don’t okay RPGs
With the western studios sell-off, I actually did think of someone if not Sony, had acquired Square Enix.
It’s odd for a major publisher like Square to sell their western studios and major IPs, to downsize to their Japanese studios at a time of consolidation in the industry
I had a jewelry ad followed by one for Overwatch. I don’t play Overwatch or have been shopping for jewelry lol
Edit. Double post
Heavenly sword released before uncharted, and actually the OP has a point. There was a lack of journalism on the PS3 multiplayer games back then and the console was $600. I mention UC 2 but that game came out a month before 2010, and that was really the only time multiplayer PS3 games became more of a topic in journalism. 2006-2009 was very baron for n multiplayer discussion
I haven’t played 2042, but they shouldn’t have abandoned BFV. It was really shaping up quite nicely after a slow content launch. They should have finished the Eastern front DLC and released the Soviet/German maps like how the Pacific launched, and make the game free to play from there if not long before that. The game even had a battle royale mode that ‘could’ have been a Warzone if not locked behind a paid game, not that I enjoy battle royale
Because it’s literally a 5 hr game, yet had the same quality offering of the other AAA Sony games that are tens to hundreds of hours of gameplay.
I used a walkthrough trophy guide for the platinum to not miss any collectibles in one run, it took 8hrs. I thought it was actually a pretty great game, but always wonder why that level of game development didn’t continue for a 15hr single player campaign.
You’re confused. This is about stacking PSNow key codes that you can buy at a Walmart or convenience store that would be converted to PS+ Premium. What Sony is preventing is someone buying 10 years worth of PSNow key codes at $60/yr, and having that automatically convert to 10 years of PS+ Premium, which is $120/yr. It’s basically an exploit for PS+ Premium at half the cost that Sony is preventing
I wonder that too since I’m not a techie so to say. I mean, I have a 65 inch Sony 4k hooked up to my PS5. I believe the tv is only 60hz, so only capable of 60fps to my knowledge. The console can run games at 120fps, but the tv can’t process that image as far as I know. For how the console and tv process video output with this firmware update is also a question of mine, but the answer could be based on what tv your console is hooked up to
Orchard, PSNow has 800+ games. PS+ Premium was announced for 700+ games. Some games were expected to be removed as one service cancelled and combined for another, and now we know which ones. What are you so surprised about, or did you not know PS+ Premium was loosing 100 games from PSNow while simultaneously being compared to a Gamepass competitor?
And yes actually, a lot of lifetime PS gamers have a PS3. I have one in my living room with the rest of my consoles and one in my bedroom...
Vita native emulation I can’t see working without patching every game that isn’t compatible with Vita TV. I’m guessing you don’t have a Vita? It’s had a front and rear touchpad, and those inputs would have to be reconfigured for controller use.
If it was really simple, Uncharted Golden Abyss would have been patched for Vita TV, but it wasn’t. There’s a lot in that game that would have to be reworked, including the camera function where you have to hold up the Vita’s camer...
I doubt it for all of your last sentence for launch/integration, but I could be proven wrong though. I’m not expecting a vast library to have 540p —> 1080p/4K upgrades until the next couple of years
Disagree. Her name pops up in the news regularly today because of her work from Jak 3 to Uncharted 3.
Though her ideas for Uncharted 4 were originally different from what the end product was, it was for the best of that games story
In that case you might want to keep track of Quantic Dreams project as well
Sports games are almost always reskins year to year, so no surprise. Not saying a reskin is a bad game, but if it’s basically the same game as the year before it should be reviewed at the same score. Like how could the game itself get worse from its copy?
That’s too funny 😂
By control terrain you mean Fracture? The concept of altering terrain in a firefight was pretty amazing for 2008, or was that a TPS? I don't remember
MW2 isn’t even a Microsoft game lol. The Activision purchase hasn’t been completed yet
