thanks for the heads up that it’s on ps plus!

Just deleted it on the third boss. Fucking unbearable.
― Dadjokke (Sgt. Biscuits), Sunday, 8 March 2020 15:33 (four years ago) link
Haha, its irritating quirks are faithfully preserved. Honestly didn’t feel much frustration until the last boss.Lot of respect to Bluepoint studios. Remaking a game is a treacherous and thankless endeavor, but they really killed it. Lot of love and care went into this. Maybe the best example of a remake you can find.As far as influence, Breath of the Wild for sure, but also (most abused comparison but true) Dark Souls. Whole downcast lonely atmosphere, oblique storytelling, untold history revealed through ruined environments, and small but direct stuff like the little shining creatures you stumble upon who drop stuff if you’re quick enough to kill them before they disappear.

Mark Cerny is giving a presentation about the PS5 in half an hour, it was originally meant for GDC so is probably going to be heavy on the tech and light on the games

the audio nerd part of this is pretty cool
people have tried to do 3d audio so many times, and it's interesting that they're going to go for the ear-scan tech that Sony headphones are also getting into

I'm more into this: https://www.polygon.com/2020/3/18/21185292/playstation-5-ps5-backward-compatible-ps4-pro
― Archaeopteryx Morgan M.D. (Leee), Wednesday, 18 March 2020 17:05 (four years ago) link
yeah thats not surprising, unlike previous gen-ups it's the same architecture as the ps4 so most stuff will work out of the box or with minor fixes
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 18 March 2020 18:10 (four years ago) link
presumably the old games will run with the ps4 pro graphics settings
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 18 March 2020 18:11 (four years ago) link
Has anyone posted an official list of the "top 100" PS4 games? It'd be good to know what won't be backwards compatible at or close to launch to focus on finishing them first.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 19 March 2020 13:42 (four years ago) link
i'd anticipate all games by major AAA developers being compatible, it'll be indie stuff and smaller budget stuff using custom engines that might not work
― ciderpress, Thursday, 19 March 2020 13:52 (four years ago) link
pretty disappointed no mention of PS1/2/3 compatibility tbh
― Nhex, Thursday, 19 March 2020 14:58 (four years ago) link
PS2 emulation still isnt great and PS3 is a nightmare, theres no way they can guarantee that. they'll just continue doing the occasional releases of games that do work like the PS2 games that are on the PS4 store
― ciderpress, Thursday, 19 March 2020 15:10 (four years ago) link
they could do PS1 for sure though
― ciderpress, Thursday, 19 March 2020 15:15 (four years ago) link
they kind of admitted multiple times that going with a technically complex non-standard design on the PS3 was a bad idea. developer ramp-up time was bad, ability to emulate it in hardware, let alone software, is tricky... all in all, a good lesson for the industry :/
― absolute idiot liar uneducated person (mh), Thursday, 19 March 2020 15:30 (four years ago) link
yeah you need a pretty beefy PC to emulate PS3 at consistent 30fps still, not sure if the PS5 will be beefy enough even for the games that do work
luckily most of the big games from that gen have been ported forward at this point but i get that's not the same since you can't use the disc you already have
― ciderpress, Thursday, 19 March 2020 15:44 (four years ago) link
Still want to try Tokyo Jungle :(

I'm having that thing of wanting to get lost in a huge game for the next few weeks, but putting it off cos I can't be bothered with the tedious first few hours of learning how everything works.
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Thursday, 19 March 2020 18:12 (four years ago) link
It always takes less time than you thinkGT Sport so unbelievably satisfying to me rn
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 19 March 2020 18:27 (four years ago) link
Haha those first few hours are always my favourite, learning how it works is the fun bit, beyond that it’s all just a big todo list.
― JimD, Thursday, 19 March 2020 20:22 (four years ago) link
Control, while it has some issues, was overall pretty great. I'm gonna save some thoughts for when it inevitably ends up in the yearly poll results.
― Nhex, Saturday, 28 March 2020 20:40 (four years ago) link
I am here for any Control love.
― Triceratops Vowell (Leee), Sunday, 29 March 2020 00:48 (four years ago) link
downloaded Control and Dawn of Man.
still playing Death Stranding and trying to work out if I love love it or if it's a bit tedious over all. I like big games like this to have a lot of story, and this does have a hell of a lot of lore going on, plus lots of unexpected moments (nightmares in the Private Room are a fantastic twist), but sometimes completing standard orders and going over the same terrain over and over can feel gruelling
― doorstep jetski (dog latin), Sunday, 29 March 2020 04:32 (four years ago) link
Control has always looked awesome, but I've been waiting for it to drop to $20 before picking it up, since I have a ton of cool stuff I've accumulated on PS4 to burn through first. Bloodborne, God of War, Spider-man, Wolfensteins, Uncharteds, Witcher 3, Event Horizon Dawn, Mad Max, Last of Us, RE2, more Alien, Sekiro, some other stuff ... just looking at that list makes me so happy.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 29 March 2020 12:57 (four years ago) link
Bloodborne, haven't played! next time i go back to the From Software well it'll probably be this or sekiroGod of War, any time you get stuck, just throw your axe at objects in the sky!Spider-man, trying to get through life without watching or playing any spider-man. i bet it's actually pretty good but i have to keep the streak alive nowWolfensteins, a friend of mine is obsessed with the newer rebootsUncharteds, no! no nathan drake! fuck you nathan drake!Witcher 3, oh hell yeah, but this one is 400+ hours long, just for the introductionEvent Horizon Dawn, one of those AAA games that i know is going to be really good and fun in some ways and also predictable in others. seems like the archetypal "play for 25 hours and quit" game, for me.Mad Max, didn't know there was one!Last of Us, i really need to play this, i never gave it a real shotRE2, haven't played it since PS daysmore Alien, Alieeeen!Sekiro, Sekirooo!
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 29 March 2020 15:22 (four years ago) link
finished spiderman and event horizon!.Both super fun! I like spiderman because we could shout things like "no, go to the west side! where we went kayaking that one time!" They did the city so well.
― Yerac, Sunday, 29 March 2020 15:52 (four years ago) link
You guys trolling me with this "Event Horizon Dawn" lol.
I 100% lost interest in Spider Man, never care to play it again.
― Triceratops Vowell (Leee), Sunday, 29 March 2020 15:54 (four years ago) link
GOW is wildly overpraised.Never want to play an Uncharted again.
― Triceratops Vowell (Leee), Sunday, 29 March 2020 15:59 (four years ago) link
I enjoy GOW well enough. We are I think halfway through. I am tired of rowing this boat.
― Yerac, Sunday, 29 March 2020 16:00 (four years ago) link
I like to throw things in the house now and shout "Nista!"
― Yerac, Sunday, 29 March 2020 16:01 (four years ago) link
bloodborne is amazing - in fact i replayed it just the other month. i found spider-man staggeringly dull. witcher is grebt but like yerman says it’s a long playsekiro. sekiroooooo.
― Fizzles, Sunday, 29 March 2020 19:16 (four years ago) link
i kind of enjoyed GoW but it didn’t have much sticking power for me and i stopped prob about halfway thru.
― Fizzles, Sunday, 29 March 2020 19:17 (four years ago) link
i found spiderman amazingly fun and freeing; webbing your way through faux manhattan is very dreamlike
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Sunday, 29 March 2020 19:41 (four years ago) link
yeah i liked the speed of the character. I get annoyed sometimes with how long it takes to move sometimes in other games.
― Yerac, Sunday, 29 March 2020 19:43 (four years ago) link
yeah spider-man rules, i had thought this was universally accepted but i guess not
― Nhex, Sunday, 29 March 2020 19:47 (four years ago) link
just went back and did the DLC recently so it's fresh in my mind
― Nhex, Sunday, 29 March 2020 19:48 (four years ago) link
I just bought Skyrim, even though my track record with medieval/open world games is rather poor.
― Triceratops Vowell (Leee), Sunday, 29 March 2020 20:10 (four years ago) link
Skyrim is fantastic. I probably sunk 200+ hours into it
― groovypanda, Sunday, 29 March 2020 20:13 (four years ago) link
hard to imagine a game much better suited for a quarantine
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Sunday, 29 March 2020 20:13 (four years ago) link
Skyrim is by far the worst game I have ever put 300+ hours into
Sekiro is the game that most makes me feel like that "EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND OPEN PALM A VHS INTO THE SLOT. ITS CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK" meme
― Dadjokke (Sgt. Biscuits), Sunday, 29 March 2020 20:51 (four years ago) link
Control DLC ready for me to play, excited to jump back in while Skyrim downloads.
― Triceratops Vowell (Leee), Sunday, 29 March 2020 23:08 (four years ago) link
i liked Control but- too much fiddly aiming- really bad face animationsI feel like Sekiro is totally For Me but maybe a younger version of me with more patience?
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Monday, 30 March 2020 13:55 (four years ago) link
- too much fiddly aiming
this is why i've avoided Control, up until now. precision aiming with the PS4 analog stick is excruciating for me, like it actually puts me in a bad mood

shooters are pc games to me forever and always
