That stuff is not the same as the other stuff you listed because developers did use the default options in 360 because it was required that they did. When it's a certification requirement they have no choice.

Let's not piss all over a feature not being used until there's evidence of it not being used, eh? The public has no visibility into whether things are mandated by the platform holder or not so why assume the worst? Unless you like being grumpy and pessimistic...

It does sound like they removed the screaming NPC from 3-1 though and I am not happy with that, unless they just removed him for the video.

The top right corner used to have the level name and number, and an icon that represented its current world tendency in real time, looks like it's been removed outright which is an interesting choice.

i think the icon in the new hud, the way its animated, might be the real time world tendency now maybe?

There's almost no chance they removed Rydell. Why make that assumption based on 30 seconds of footage?

Maybe they changed the range at which you can hear him, or had already rescued him in that video. I seriously doubt they deleted any NPCs from the game.

What external hard drive should I get for all the PS4 games? I don't need anything fancy. Preferably something that doesn't need external power. I just want enough space for those 15 PS+ games coming at launch and a handful of other titles. Just want to leave maximum space on the PS5 SSD for PS5 games only

2TB drives often go on sale for $60 or so. Any brand will work fine.

I have this one for my PS4: WD 2TB Elements Portable External Hard Drive, USB 3.0 - WDBU6Y0020BBK-WESN https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06W55K9N6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_YUQPFb5NX0RDV

you can see them now if you use exophase but some games might be bugged, as i've just discovered. so dont be surprised if some dont show up right. psn thinks i only played kiwami 2 for 6 hours a few months ago even tho i finished it in 60 hours and it thinks i spent 6mins completing re2r.

Remake feels like too generous a term for the new Demon’s Souls. It seems like it is 99% the same game with an extremely well done coat of paint. It’ll be good because the original is good, but surely there were some stuff that even the original creators wished they could have tweaked after the fact.

Get high and think of me.



I really like that the narrator went out of his way to mention that the game runs at 60fps when he gets to Valley of Defilement. One can only speculate as to why. :thunk:

And I agree that the UI looks a bit flavourless. I'm also not a fan of the new sword sound effects. They're so heavy on treble that I feel like they're about the give me tinnitus. I'm still really excited for this game but I do feel like a lot of the changes to the presentation were for the worse.

Here’s what they said in the last interview they did

quote:

Are you introducing any sort of respec system?

Such as?

The ability to change your stats midway through, instead of committing to a certain build all the way through.

So what we have done is allow you to... Okay, let's talk about this a little bit... This might not be quick. I'm sorry. What we have done is we've updated the character creator. And we've given thousands upon thousands of new permutations where you can create and you can play. And then once you've chosen a character, what you can do is after you've paid a number of souls for it--in the Nexus--you can actually store your character and then go in and change your character in the Nexus. So that's the quick interpretation of it, I guess. I'll leave it up to you to find out where it is and how you do it.

So I guess they kinda did? I don’t really understand it :shrug:

What do you define a remake as if not making the same game again from the same blueprint? Remaking it, if you will?

we've gotten so many updates of older games this gen that the line between "remake" and "remaster" has become blurry

there's a wide, wide gulf between an uprezzed port, a bluepoint graphics update, and something like FF7R

It sounds like (from their description both in this video and their description of how they did SotC) it's actually the original underlying game code from the PS3 version with their own modular systems on top for rendering, audio, etc. It still qualifies as a remake to me, but it's different than the Resident Evil or Final Fantasy remakes which are actually new games from scratch that implement the same story and gameplay as the original.

Same I have never even one time considered the PlayStation UI or anything on that level in the entire time I’ve owned it. It’s a console for games.

I do like folders, but the PlayStation UI crams so much poo poo into your dashboard anyway that the folders feel like they can’t really clean it up that much.

I define it in video games the same way it is defined in movies or television shows. You reuse the same general pieces and ideas, but try to put your own spin on them or tweak them to fit more with the current day.

So this is more of a "shot for shot remake" ala Psycho than The Fly, but by that token the first one is still called a remake...

It makes me a Lil bummed to see you guys excited for system level stuff because the second AAA multiplat development starts in earnest, none of this stuff will ever be used again by most any game that's not Sony studios or PS5 exclusive. The difficulty system level stuff, along with options for example, for default inverted view, has been around on the software level since the 360 in 2006. No one ever used it. I was so stoked when I saw ps4 had native keyboard and mouse support. Outside of War Thunder, again, nothing. I think based on history those system level options will be used never and there's gonna be max, MAYBE 50, 100 games at most with smaller indies and such, that are even going to use the full haptic controller stuff, and if you doubt that, tell me how many ps4 games you've played where the touchpad and motion sensor were seamlessly integrated wholly into controlling a game, because even Sony gave up after like, making you wipe a stone tablet with the touchpad in uncharted or whatever.
