Going back to games where you can run at top speed without really looking where you are stepping feels weird now.

I got Demon's Souls yesterday, and the graphics did blow me away. And the haptic/controller speaker is uhh... drat it's good. What the gently caress? I cannot properly explain how immersive the controller is in this game. I got like a crazy adrenaline rush even fighting a boss like loving Tower Knight because of the fidelity of *everything*. There were also some crazy scenery in Cyberpunk that blew me away. I loaded a save where I was on jig-jig street and the reflections, neon, amount of people, everything just hit just right as it does. I just loaded up TLOU2 again and was playing through the beginning, and the INSANE DRAW DISTANCE when you are overlooking cities did make me say "drat that looks good". Seeing a crazy rendered colorful field with the wind cutting through in Ghost of Tsushima also made me say that. Lots of actually good looking games still blowing my balls off Firstborn fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Jan 18, 2021 |

Casnorf posted:Yes. Yes put the hardware in yo. That's what I asked for. Sony might still be doing this but it screwed them over really badly with the PS3. The fact of the matter is this wasn't largely used even when the PS3 was new, and increased the cost of the PS3 by more than a bare PS2 cost at the time. It's also a bit of a weird situation now because while they are keeping the PS3 network functional for PS Now titles, I can tell you right now as someone who just setup a PS3 from scratch that downloading stuff is even worse than it was before. You can basically only download by going through the download list and certain game DLC browsers. Buying stuff, which can only be done on a PS3 now, is really screwy and you get errors if you try to redownload a PS3 game from its store like you could before (you have to go through the download list and good luck with that). I went as digital as I could on PS3 but honestly, now, discs are the better way to go for that, far more reliable. Get a PS3 Super Slim and play whatever PS1 and PS3 stuff you want that way (and also PS2 downloadables).

Ghost of Tsushima also rewards using your eyes to explore to a degree, the map is definitely set up so that you can always see something cool over there

I loved how the world being a bowl with Hyrule Castle at its center visible from everywhere meant I didn't even have to look at my map much. I could orient myself just by panning the camera, so I had a constant frame of reference for exploration. And staying out of the map taught me to navigate by landmark, compounding the effect over time. It's nowhere near as ambitious, but Pathless definitely internalizes that lesson. There's no map to lean on, so the world is carefully designed to be navigable without one.

Being able to navigate a game because you have become familiar with your surroundings instead of looking at a map or a hud icon is one of the top immersion builders that causes me to get really absorbed into something. Definitely one of the reasons games like Dark Souls and BOTW resonate so much with me. BOTW is nothing like Dark Souls, but a lot of why I like it so much is for similar reasons as Dark Souls honeslty. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Jan 18, 2021 |

I thought ps now was going to try and do the nintendo online collection thing as a streaming service with ps1-2-3 games a few years back cause they had said in an interview they were going to look at older games once the service was rolled out but it didnt happen. I then this year thought ps now would change to be more of a bc focused service after a much better value modern game collection was curated into ps+ but now it's still doing the same thing In the end how they want to make it attractive to me beyond just the month it took to beat tokyo jungle, sly 2, ico, and spec ops is just another sony mystery to piss me off like how they have 50 new exclusives in the can and studio acquisitions that they wont reveal, or whatever rumor the sneaker broker was saying yesterday

What was the consensus of Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time? Seems like it came and went without much fervor? My friends just got a PS5 and one of them grew up on Crash Bandicoot and wants a platformer to play after Astro's Playroom, so it's either Crash or Sackboy.

ZeeBoi posted:Has the PS5 buzzing/coil whine been accepted as a normal thing? Some people have it, others don't. It doesn't seem to affect performance. Mine has it but it's usually not noticable since the piss5 is behind the tv and I'm usually playing with loud volume or a headset. If I have the volume turned down I can notice it. I have yet to try out Mile Morales or any RTX stuff so I cannot annecdotally confirm if there is any functional issue with the console or not, other than to say that I've had only one soft crash of a game during the entire two months I've used the console. Far more annoying is the random optical drive spin-up which needs to be patched PRONTO

If you like Crash it's the best of the series, although it's best to check any completionist tendencies at the door. It's not overly difficult for a casual playthrough but trying to get all the boxes and time trial relics will drive you mad. I liked it significantly more than Sackboy.

marktheando posted:PS1 and PS2 backwards compatibility would be really good, but the PS5 can't read CDs. Shame. For me, it's the OG Nier (the remake looks good, but it's Brother Nier instead of the far superior Papa Nier), and Tales of Xillia one and two. ToX2 was a perfect mix of batshit and charming that I keep getting the urge to play it again. But yea, aside from that I'm not really jonesing for any exclusives. Franchescanado posted:What was the consensus of Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time? Seems like it came and went without much fervor? As someone who grew up with the original Crash games and who played the hell out of the remakes; I didn't like Crash 4. It just didn't have the same flow or energy, and I really didn't like jumping from character to character. The masks felt really gimicky to me, too. I would watch a few videos on Youtube or something to get a feel for how it plays because I know a lot of people really like it, but it just was not for me.

It's the anniversary of Jet Moto so they should release Jet Moto 1-3 and then Jet Moto 1-3 Remasters and then the long awaited Jet Moto (2021).
