Neddy Seagoon posted:Have another look at the video and watch the way the faces actually work; There's no coherent relation between the eye and mouth movements, they each animate as individual objects sitting in/on the head in a way that hasn't been seen since the late 90's/early-00's. Nevermind the woman's head facing off to the side because whoops the animator tried to make her look aside and made it look even more unnatural. Most games at least use a character model that makes the face a single entire mesh so the animated expressions come off more natural instead of this idiotic mess. The way the sister's mouth moves back to what appears to be the face's default pose in a grimace is very disturbing.

Feenix posted:I have PSVR and I've lately gotten to the habit of doing an actual power down from time to time. It was a foolish mistake. I said as much in my initial post. I just found the beginning of the game sloggy and unengaging enough that I just don't think I care to do it again.

After thinking about it and looking around, I'm gonna apologize for my earlier comments about The Last Guardian. I think I let my frustration with what Sony is doing with the Pro, and the influence of certain reviewers' impressions, narrow my judgement too much. I still don't think the game is for me, though. I didn't like the previous games in this series enough to approach a mechanic I'm not very interested in, but I think it's important to admit when you're being unfair about something.

8-Bit Scholar posted:Gravity Rush 2 is so loving gigantic. I was trying to show a friend how you'll teleport if you fall to the edge of a zone and I ended up falling through a brief loading fog and into an entirely other, massive zone that I hadn't realized I was there. I wish it was a bit better directed in those moments of spectacle though. Like the camera just hangs on poo poo for 10 seconds doing idle animations in silence during big scenes in between dialog and action alike. Its really weird.

I'm not going to let a clip keep me from playing a game I was interested in, but it definitely just went from pre-order to Gamefly. I hope it's good... I want it to be good  .

That's extremely big of you- admitting bias is something all of us need to do from time to time. That being said by no means do you have to like the game.

Also you have Ashly Burch voicing the main character, and she's a really talented VA, so it feels like there's something way off with the direction.

To clarify I'm not saying he is wrong for not liking the game. I'm saying that the reported technical blunders are way overstated and that I think the game is extremely good for a variety of reasons. I'm playing on a PS4 slim.

Neddy Seagoon posted:It's not just the voice-acting of one NPC, the shoddy character animations tell the real story of what kind of quality you're getting because they're gonna be used across the board for everything. Every single cutscene is guaranteed to use them, and they were the kind of poo poo laughed out the door of a first-year college class. I've already seen other cut-scenes and it did not look like that. Does anyone know where that footage came from?

Real hurthling! posted:I wish it was a bit better directed in those moments of spectacle though.

The spectacle comes from all the in-engine stuff IMO. Just the variety of places you can stand on and twist the perspective of the world around. The game's open world is designed with its gameplay in mind, so you can go on top of, underneath of, and all around basically everything in the game. If they were going to do a third one, I'd just want them to up the ante on in-game objects. Have giant animals, monsters and machines that can be ridden upon, explored around, or even fought and defeated, or create areas with more internal bits, like a giant cave or a large structure with openings in and out of it.

I think they get a lot more poo poo then then should especially if you can get them cheap. in 6 ABD always be divin.

They are boring as gently caress single player but fun co-op. I can't remember which one it is but one has a showdown on some lava near the end and me and my friend just gave up forever there. So difficult. But they're fun. I think 6 was probably better co op.

If you don't see that and put yourself in the mood conducive to THAT over the topness being the opener? Just roll with it. I felt immediately upon playing that this should have been a spinoff and that this will all be retconned later. We shall see.

I'm so bad a games like bloodborne. I love the game so much, but if I didn't watch epicnamebro videos, I would miss A TON. Like now, I've been pushing through the forbidden forest, unlocked the door/lift right where the snake men start showing up. Watching the video, I totally missed a section on top of the roof just before that where a bandaged man is hanging out and then from there the tunnel to iosefka's clinic! Then even more so, he suggests putting the forsaken village on hold to get kidnapped to get taken to yahar'gul unseen village. How would I even know that. Is this stuff people stumble into or something that I just completely miss when looking through the lore items?

I know I did, that giant whooped my rear end. I found that unseen village on completely accident. There are some things about the souls games that you wouldn't know unless you looked it up or heard from someone else but that's how they designed the series in mind. I also tend to be one of those types (and there are others  ) who go through every nook and cranny in Souls games because I enjoy when I find a new shortcut or more places to explore.Still mad about that Bloodborne door that will always be locked even though I know it's basically an invisible wall slapped in.

Random game thoughts: 2,5 hours or something into RE7, and so far it has been so incredibly similar to RE1 that them saying they're returning to the series' roots was way more real than I could ever have imagined. Just imagine RE1 in first person, with some easy-ish stealth mechanics and there you go. It's so old school in its gameplay flow in fact that I'd imagine a lot of people getting frustrated over running out of ammo or trying to brute force their way through places they don't have the necessary equipment to survive through. The first real section with the basic enemies of the game does not hold your hand, just assumes you'll wrap your head around the combat and not take unnecessary risks. Also the writing is pretty campy and fun which was a huge worry for me ever since they announced they wouldn't have japanese writers anymore - again, super RE in that front. Great stuff. As for FFXV, I blasted through it this month and am 80 hours in at this point. It's loving poo poo. The story is told unbelievably poorly despite being very straightforward. Fighting in a foresty area makes the camera get behind bushes all the time. The parts where DLC episodes fit in are ridiculously obvious. The game has enough cuts to make another AAA game with. I've come across way too many glitches where I got stuck in place. There are some super lovely dungeons. You can only accept one Hunt sidequest at a time after which you go back and get a new one which wastes a ton of time. It's also super fun and I love it so much, I like these four loving goofball idiots and their stupid quips, the ending was real good for me and the basic gameplay is decent enough. Music is amazingly good. The undeveloped villain is a likable one. Driving around listening to old FF tunes rules. Most of all, it's got a shitload of charm and heart poured into it. In closing, I really enjoy this carbage pile of a game and am surely going to pass 100 hours easily. FFXV is so goodbad I've never seen the likes before. Uh, Deadly Premonition might be close though?

Man, Deadly Premonition. That's one of the only games I've seen where people watching me play had more fun than I had playing it. It was such a chore. Which is a shame because it was full of ideas. It felt like a Yakuza game set in Twin Peaks but developed by chimpanzees.

Seconding all the positive opinions on RE7, I'm having a great time with it. Finally having both a good survival horror game and a real AAA PSVR release has been a treat. I think I'm going to have to give up on Yakuza 0 though. I was excited enough to preorder but when I finally sat down to play it for the first time, I sat on my own balls. Outtie five thousand

OldSenileGuy posted:I was looking for a new game to play and realized I never played South Park: The Stick of Truth. Then I saw if I pre-order the sequel on the PS Store, it says I can get the first game as a bonus upon checking out. But there is no PS4 version of the first game in the store. I'm not sure if this has been answered yet, but as someone who was able to pre-order the game, download and Platinum the PS4 game, and then cancel the pre-order when the date slipped, I can tell you that the game shows up in your Download List once you've pre-ordered Fractured. It's not available for purchase otherwise on the Store, which is extremely weird, but I guess they wanted to spur pre-orders of the sequel. For what it's worth, it's essentially a perfect port that runs better and with fewer hitches on PS4 than it did on PS3. If you haven't played it, definitely give it a shot, since Fractured is a direct sequel (you play as the same New Kid, but instead of D&D, they're playing superheroes). King of Solomon posted:From Software developed it, but there was significant input by Sony in the development and, as mentioned, it's Sony published. Basically the same situation as Demon's Souls. Exactly right on the first part, but Naughty Dog is a wholly owned SIEA studio. They're as first-party as it gets. From would definitely count as second-party for Bloodborne and Demon's Souls (in Japan, at least), since they're independent, but made the games exclusively for PlayStation systems.
