PlayStation 5: Thread 05

[fishbowlhead]

In short? No. It's most notable exclusives (the devs must be frustrated at how gimped the sales were by this) were:

-The Dark Pictures Anthology: Switchback VR
-Horizon: Call of the Mountain
-Synapse

Horizon is a nice visual showcase but if you've played climbing games in VR before there's not much new to it, Synapse is solid enough whilst Switchback is fun but a watered down follow up to Rush of Blood. The go to titles people reference are Gran Turismo 7 and Resident Evil 4. Not enough to warrant the price of entry, especially with the mods on PC to bridge the Resi gap enough.

We're really going to lose titles like Astro Bot, Blood & Truth to being gatekept by PSVR1

I honestly think AstroBot rescue mission needs to be ported somehow to non vr, so its not lost forever.

It and Blood & Truth are pretty much the sole reasons I rebought a cheap PSVR1 again last year. I'd settle for a cheap port for the sake of them hitting the PCVR market too but I fully expect Sony is now 100% done with consumer VR via PS now.

Ultimately I reckon the best way to play the PSVR1 exclusives in the future will be on a performant PS4 emulator on PC. Then you'll be able to use a much better headset and controllers and get better performance too.

That's probably a number of years away though.

They could have named it "Generic Anime Game Stealing Ideas From All The Recent Gacha Games" and it would have made it more interesting.

I’m sure the studio needs a break from tLoU after over 10 years working on it, and they delivered with the exact thing I’ve wanted from ND for years, a syfy adventure.

New deep dive into Assasins creed: shadows on the Pro, the delay was absolutely needed for this.

edit. Turns out this was PC footage not captured from the Pro, sigh.

As a sequel to Valhalla I expect it to do fine but a huge amount of focus is going on Shadows given Ubisofts poor state and I expect it to only buy them a little time. Ultimately, the game will sell well but that was alwasy expected and it's only going to be more of the same so there's no real way to expand the fanbase even wider. Feels like its performance - unless it tanks - is baked in and as a result come end of financial year 25-26 I would expect future bombs to bring the company to its knees regardless of this game as much as it feels some are hoping it will be the final nail.
