The Old PlayStation Thread | *NEW THREAD IS UP*

[_relinquo]

Started Sleeping Dogs last night
This game is so dope, I forgot so much about it since I last played it on PS3.
Stacked cast, dope soundtrack and I LOVED the story. It's one of the tightest games in terms of content too, not too much fat in terms of side stuff.
-face time
-finding the statues so you can go train at the temple
-dating the girls to get different upgrades
-pullin those side heists with Jackie

Right now I'm setting up cameras with Teng to catch Popstar's supplier.

Didn't understand what it meant by "Definitive Edition" since I have never even heard of the extra content, so I can't wait to dive into that post main story.

It'd be a blessing to get some next gen sequel because it incorporated some great things for an open world game, but I know that's just wishful thinking.

Yeah, Definitive Edition is always just whatever DLC and extra content was up for purchase originally.

Man, the thing I remember blowing my mind about Sleeping Dogs was the combat. I remember trying it out at GDC and the PR guy was like, "yeah, go take him to that A/C unit" and I sliced the guy's face up with the fan lmao.

Sad they couldn't get the second one to work out, and had to shut down the studio.

Isn’t it hard for games on PC to run at 4K/60? Why everybody think it’s going to be standard on next gen consoles. It’d be dope if we could get 1440p/60+

From what I understand, PCs can do 4K/60 just fine. Even 4K/120 isn’t really a problem (I’ve seen dudes online saying they’ve gotten Death Stranding over 700fps ). The problem comes with ray tracing. It takes up a lot of computational power and causes games to chug. Sometimes even sub 30fps

I'm always disappointed when there are no fans when fighting, even when it doesn't make sense for a fan to be there

that animation never gets old

 

[heatpinoyboy]

GoT is my GOTY for me too. Biggest gripe for me is probably difficulty. Only on first act though so not sure how much harder the enemies get but I'm clearing these mongols out like Mulan now

It depends on the game. 4K/60 on PC can hard for some games with all the settings cranked to the max.

If PS5 is meant to have similar performance to a 2080/2070 Super then with a good CPU and console optimization 4K 30/60 is a possibility for AAA games. A game like Rocket League will easily run 4K and very high framerate with one of those GPU's.

You know there's headroom for next gen with a lot of these games showing Ray Tracing. Certainly a lot more than what I expected.

I definitely won't expect 4K/60 to be the standard but there's a lot of flexibility now so should start seeing more game modes.
Games can use checkerboarding to get to 4K or drop down to even 1440 and use the extra resources for effects or framerate.

I agree with all of this. The sad thing is the game got slept on when it first came out on PS3 gen for a couple reasons. Mainly the main character is a asian and the game takes place in Hong Kong. I mean if we’re being real the game just does not appeal to certain demographics. The game had a lot of development issues and actually got cancelled a few times which is why Square Enix won’t invest money to produce a sequel.

I see SONY is having a 1 per customer policy of the ps5 Pre-orders.

I thought it was always like that with atleast the PS3 and PS4.

one thing that annoys me about GoT is how many mini cut scenes there are. I save one lil farmer and after I free him it goes to a mini cut scene and this fool starts rappin

It'd be great to see a policy that enabled the release of information at anything faster than a glacial pace.

Probably see price/preorders open this week/early next week in order to compete with Microsoft announcements.

Yes. Going the GameStop route to pre-order.

I am just not confident staying home and getting it through best buy/Target/Amazon/Walmart online.

Sleeping Dogs made Square Enix a good handful of money. From what I heard, United Front Games was trying to make Sleeping Dogs 2 some sort of weird story-based/online multiplayer game and they just couldn't get it to work. Allegedly they did some focus tests, and people just didn't like it. It's a shame. Maybe some day Sleeping Dogs 2 will rise from the dead and bless us all.

Depends on the game and what your settings are.

You're not getting steady 60FPS @ 4K on something like RDR2 if you set everything to ultra, doesn't matter if you spend 5k on a PC.

 

[marcielago]

I pre ordered my PS4 through amazon and didn’t have a problem. It just took all day to get delivered. Had me waiting at my front door like a fiend

I see. The way some of these pc dudes be cappin you’d think that’s the only way they play

I still dont know what I am going to do. Leaning toward online.

A lot of elitism and stupidity in the gaming community.

For example, you mentioned people claiming they play Death Stranding @ 700fps...

My PC is pretty high end, cost about 4200 and I run Death Stranding @ max and get around 140fps @ 1440p.

Also, 700fps is literally a waste because no monitor has a refresh rate that's even close to that, plus most people can't even tell the difference between 60fps and 120fps.

 

[Ricky D]

I may have said this before but I’m getting my PS5 however I can get it first. I prefer to do in store pick with Target (wife has a Red card and gets 5% off all purchases), Best Buy or GameStop but I’ll go the online route as well. Truthfully I’m probably going to pre-order more than one if possible just in case somebody over delivered and starts cancelling.

 

[Bad Religion]

Good point. I may do a couple. I can always give it to my nephews for Xmas or something if two come through.

United Front Games is now defunct and out of business. It would have to be a situation like what happened between Mafia II which was produced by 2K Chzech and then the franchise stayed dormant for awhile until Hangar 13 got the rights and approval from 2k and Take 2 games to make Mafia 3 which didn't do to good

Those inflated prices for the retro consoles are kinda whack and out of context - not needed in that chart.

That said, the NEO GEO and 3DO were extremely offensive with their launch pricing.

Yeah, no way the Intellivision and Atari 2600 were THAT expensive. But I do remember the NeoGeo and 3DO for being that ridiculous.

That lists also seems to have been created in 2013.

Sony ether'ing Microsoft 3 days before their event.
