FlamingLiberal posted:I never finished DR1 because the AI for the survivors was as dumb as a box of rocks The survivor AI in 1 is much better if you give people directions instead of having them follow you automatically. To like, a stupid degree. They go from completely useless to zombie mulching machines when they have a goal.

ThatWhiteGuy posted:Is Yakuza Like a Dragon a good starting point for that series? Or is it too much of a spin-off to be a good intro? I’ve been interested in that series for a while but I have no idea where to start at this point, and Ishin looks rad so I’d like to get at least one Yakuza game under my belt before I pick that up. I’d start with 0 to be honest. While Yakuza LAD is a decent start point in that it pretty nicely introduces you to the world and tone of the series, you miss out on a ton of backstory that was established in the prior seven games, and even get some of it spoiled for you. Judgment also wouldn’t be a bad start point either if you want to play something more modern, but it’s not quite up to Y0’s level of being amazing. Lost Judgment has some spoilers for Y7 in it though, so beware the sequel if you care about that kind of thing. Full canon order, imo: 0, K1, K2, 3, 4, Dead Souls, 5, 6, Judgment, LaD, Lost Judgment. You can skip Dead Souls if you don’t have a PS3 / are a coward, but you’ll probably know by the time you get there if you want to play a janky zombie side game or not.

Cyrano4747 posted:Even the S is significantly better than the PS4. The new CyberPunk expansion isn't releasing on the PS4 or XBONE, for example, but is available on the S. Ya know I don’t really think this is conclusive of anything given how bad the base game’s performance is on last gen lol Sounds more like CDPR threw their hands in the air and gave up because their game’s performance is hot garbo and the new consoles cover up for it.

JBP posted:Yeah but I don't think ray tracing is going full stride this gen while also maintaining frames and fidelity. That being said who knows what the computer wizards will be cooking up once this gen is another year old. I think that’s the right way to look at it, lower spec’d RT capabilities mean you can’t just shove more power at the problem, and devs can focus on efficiency to get better results, which means that when more powerful RT stuff is introduced then they can really hit the ground running.

Quantum of Phallus posted:every time Sony makes up some bullshit reason about backwards compatibility not working, you just have to remember they literally made the hardware I mean, having used said original hardware extensively, I can pretty easily see why the new version isn’t backwards compatible. The PR speak response of “it’s a true next generation experience” is dumb as hell, mind you, but the lack of BC at least does make sense.

veni veni veni posted:The main thing about VR that has me disenfranchised has nothing to do with the technology, which has improved significantly since it gained traction in 2016 and everything to do with the lack of support from the industry. This is what made me a big fan of PSVR to be honest. It’s a relatively niche thing, but Sony’s support for it (and for devs using it) was and is pretty drat good. Having dedicated console hardware to use it with and a mandated baseline of performance both help a ton compared to PCVR setups or even something like the Quest, and I really hope they can knock it out of the park in that respect with the PSVR2.

Real hurthling! posted:Tethered vr is way less appealing now in 2022 than 2016. The cost is going to be high, the library is going to be small, and the distraction of supporting it is going to make even bigger gaps in 1st party releases for the regular console. I mean, RE8 VR’s a launch title and it looks better than RE7 VR, which was pretty much totally worth the asking price of the whole deal. If that’s all I get out of it, then so be it, I’m OK with this. Besides, new PSVR1 poo poo is still coming out pretty often. Not a lot of first party stuff for a while now but if you’re into it there’s still poo poo to play. I get that “PSVR enthusiast” is kind of an edge case but I never really felt like it got abandoned or anything.

Real hurthling! posted:Yeah i dont want anyone to feel bad about being excited i just think theres no growth for teathered console vr at like 900 dollar buy in for both units I think the tradeoff is the games are going to be able to look incredible, and Sony’s probably keeping up their hard-rear end stance on performance minimums. Is it gonna change the industry? Eh, maybe not, but it should be a pretty quality thing. (And nothing stopping them from making a wireless version down the line. Gotta make those early adopters get FOMO somehow!)

Rageaholic posted:Is there a way to toggle the Dualsense's mic off in the settings? I know now that you press the button under the PS button to mute it (I didn't know that until yesterday when I saw that my mic was on in-game in the Modern Warfare 2 beta, which wasn't what I wanted), but like I have to do that every time I wake the system out of rest mode. It'd be nice to have it muted unless you press the button on the controller, which is how I thought it worked until yesterday. You can change the default by going to the Settings menu, Sound, Microphone, Microphone Status When Logged In.

StormDrain posted:What's the vibe on VR? It looks cool. I like Vr games. I'll probably get it. I’m real hype for it. As far as hardware goes it sounds like they’re knocking it out of the park, and if Sony’s approach to software cert holds over from the PSVR1 there’ll be a really consistent performance floor across all the games for it. I think the unique features the HW has are: • Rumble in the headset • Force feedback triggers like the DualSense • First HDR OLED display in a VR headset (not sure if this is still true) • Piggybacks off the PS5 so it has the SSD and 3D audio available

WaltherFeng posted:Is this a remake or a port? Real hurthling! posted:Remake afaict Arist posted:It's a remake yea It’s kind of in between a port and a remake from what I can tell TBH. Unlike say Kiwami or Kiwami 2 which were completely overhauled, the gameplay in this one looks like it’s been pretty much untouched from the original. The biggest jump is in the graphics because it’s running on Unreal 4, which is how the Tony Hawk remasters worked too. Should be pretty drat good whether or not you split that particular hair though, the original Ishin is supposed to be fantastic as it is.

Kilometers Davis posted:How’s Diablo 2 on the PS5? Been thinking about it since launch and the sales have been solid. I know it had some issues when it came out but hopefully they’re fixed. The idea of playing Diablo 2 on the PS5 sounds cool as hell. I’m liking it, but go into it being aware that it’s pretty much a straight port of D2, to the point where if you hit L2 and the touchpad at the same time it switches to the original graphics instantly. Very pretty, game still holds up, works pretty good on controller, it’s just an extremely faithful port.

I like D2 and D3 for very different reasons, though I think Blizzard missed a pretty obvious opportunity by not porting the campaigns of 1/2 into 3. The loot tables and graphics would obviously be very different but that would have been pretty fun.

I assumed the thing in the store was some sort of major update so I was like "hey why not it's F2P" and honestly it looks and feels ok but oof. yet another doomed BR piece of poo poo. Is this the new Let It Die or did they patch the original in a complete overhaul? The original game was a soulsish roguelike dungeon crawler, very janky but it had a huge level of Dreamcast-ish charm to it. Never spent a dollar but I put a ton of hours into it.

I mean if we’re at the rumor/developers getting onboarded stage right now, that puts us at about when the PS4 Pro got announced, relatively speaking. 2013 launch for the PS4, Pro announced and released in 2016, and the PS5 is just about to hit two years old. If they commit to it being as soft a split as the PS4/Pro was (ie: No hard cutoffs for game compatibility) I can see it happening at least eventually. Seemed to work for ‘em just fine last time.
