What about Armored core 6 or whatever?

That would be cool if they show Shadow of the Erdtree footage. That's probably unlikely.

That Phantom Blade 0 game looked badass. I noticed it didn't have a date though so def not coming out this year. I'm curious how it controls though in combat.

I'm looking forward to armored core 6. Other than that I don't see anything else for PS5 I would be interested in that I wouldn't play on pc.

I am worried about the future of gaming if this is their best stuff to show off. That one Phantom Blade game looked cool and so did that other game that ripped off of Zelda a bunch. Neither of them coming out this year though.

I'm super worried about PSVR2 and glad I did not cave to FOMO at launch. They literally showed nothing new on PSVR2 today. It was all old games coming to PSVR2 and one new game they already showed the trailer for.

Looks very cool, but something about that trailer looked very sus. Not sure how much of that was actual gameplay and how much was scripted. Also, I really wish Asian studios would hire some decent English voice actors. Yikes.. I switched to Chinese voices for Wo Long (to match the setting) because the English acting was sooo bad.

Yeah that's what I mean about how it controls in combat. It was very hard to tell from the video.

What do people think of that handheld streaming thing? Do we think it will be a flop? I could see myself getting the earbuds as they are easier to wear hopefully for longer periods of time than the pulse 3d headset..which I have no issue with but my ears do get hot.

Probably too expensive for a Cloud-only device. Steam Deck might work just as good and also give the option of playing older games locally.

All I need is the Final Fantasy games coming out this year. That's all I have time to play, anyway.

If it is $199 maybe it could work. Not sure what benefit you would get over just using remote play on an ipad?

sze5003 · May 25, 2023

Yea I don't know who it's geared towards. A steam deck would be a better mobile gaming platform for someone looking to have something on the go.

I think it's a huge waste of R&D money/time and resources. It's basically solving a problem that doesn't exist.

I am waiting for my bonus to hit so I can get the Asus Ally.

I agree... Cloud gaming isn't ready yet because of the latency penalty. There's a lot of games I play that require good timing of button presses where I think it would suck or be annoying to play if I had 300ms minimum ping. I'm not even talking about twitch shooters. I think even the experience of playing a game like Horizon Zero Dawn or Forbidden West would suffer if you had 300ms ping. Heck, I'm currently playing The Legend of Dragoon, a PS1 game, on my PS5 and I hate to imagine what it would be like trying to time my attacks if I had more latency.

Latency is an issue for almost any game, generation doesn't matter. Think of trying to play the OG Contra with 300ping. Short of turn based games I can't see it working.

Hah, looks like ND is having a lot of trouble with the TLOU GAAS game. Doesn't sound like it's canned... but it's canned. As a result they are shifting their efforts to what I am guessing is TLOU 3 or perhaps 2 DLC.

I'm not sure how you are getting that it's canned from that. They are just announcing that it's delayed and needs more time.

Agreed. If anything, it confirms the opposite. It's not canned.

My understanding is that it's been in development for multiple years already. It sounds like they are pulling people off of it and onto other projects.

Internet rumor is that Sony had Bungie come to evaluate Factions. They didn't think it would work, so they went back to make changes. Sounds like they are trying to make it like Destiny? Jason Schreir has some story on it, but behind a paywall.

Good that they're scaling it down. I hate all this live service crap and hopefully the dev talent will be spent on worthwhile single player games.

Tonight's gonna be lit.

jpiniero · Jun 5, 2023

So I bought the Demons Souls remake. I forgot that in the earlier Souls games, you have to get pretty far in order to unlock the ability to level up. For awhile there I thought that I was going to have trouble getting that far lol.

Be interesting to see if I am able to complete the game. Esp with no help since I don't have PS+.
