DreamTheater 131 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 PS2 is definitely not obsolete, if I didn't have a bunch of HD collections on PS3 I'd still be using it quite often.Personally speaking, graphics have never made or broken a game, foremost it's the art design and general visual consistency of the ingame world and characters that is most important.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I want it more than you, I'm sure of it. This trailer from 2010 is pure magic... with music by Thomas Newman. I really hope it doesn't end up like Duke Nukem Forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamTheater 131 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 And in other news... Ubisoft has done the unthinkable by reinstating banned keys for Far Cry 4, after it was reported gamers had unknowingly bought keys acquired in a not so legal manner (me included).This move actually suprised me. The poor communication on Ubisoft's part, pissing off their customers no end, resulted in many showing their disgust by vowing to never buy another Ubisoft game.There already wasn't much love for the company, but I don't know if this nice gesture will do much good in the long term.

Quintus 5,399 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Yeah Ubisoft have sunk even lower than EA in the last couple of years. No mean feat.ICO looks charming, quaint. A pity it didn't sell better over here, or come to the PC. I never owned a PS#.That's a testament to the makers, because it takes great sleight of hand to create that impression in a game which is actually a very sophisticated piece of design.

King Mark 3,631 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I'm really amzed at the quality of the environment textures on the PS$. Even very close to the screen nothing looks coarse or pixelated. It's not photo realistic yet but at least it doesn't look fake .Huge improvement over the PS3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamTheater 131 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Graphics have really come a long way with the current generation consoles. But it's really thanks to the PC pushing technology for improved visuals that console gamers get the same quality now that already existed for years on the PC.I love the PS4 too btw. The games I have on it look as great as current PC titles, with none of the hassles that platform is known for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I will wait to see what else they include in the bundle. I own all of the present games on disc but KOTOR II (I have a copy) and TFU 2. I intend to buy KOTOR II but was leaning towards GOG to have no DRM. I really don't need to rebuy the others just to have them on Steam, though it would be convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamTheater 131 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I'll wait as well, KOTOR and Battlefront II are the only ones I played a lot when they came out. KOTOR II I gave up halfway through as it just didn't cut it, but could be worth to go through again with the restored content mod.If they include X-wing and Tie Fighter, it's a no-brainer, but I think those are exclusive to GOG.

Wojo 2,453 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 KOTOR II was challenging until the very end, though I'm not referring to the game crashing bugs. The story was weird because plot threads would start but be left hanging. The final battle with Kreia, as I had built my character, was practically impossible I've always wanted to return to that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamTheater 131 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I can't remember what it was that put me off of KOTOR II, either the story or characters didn't quite hook me. I sold it not much later.Are the two Force Unleashed games worth it? I remember them not being reviewed very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamTheater 131 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 It's amazing how much GTA V on the PS4 feels like a totally different game from the previous version...But to accomplish that you really need to play this in first-person. I'm having an absolute blast with that. It's a new way to experience GTA.Can't quite explain it... the world feels much more immersive, you become a person in that virtual world. Imagine this with the VR glasses. Bye bye real life.Before I was Franklin or Michael or Trevor, but as I was always a few meters behind them I felt distant, I was just watching them go about their business.Now I become one of the guys. The shooting and driving bits are so intense now. When I'm driving for the hell of it, I actually look out for traffic and pedestrians.I get more incentive to go out and explore and marvel at the highly detailed environments and stunning vistas.The game continues to surprise and has never been better. Just today I took my blimp in the air and flew between the downtown buildings at nighttime. It was beautiful ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Skyrim dragon battles range from barely engaging to fucking legendary, depending on the type of dragon, your preparedness/level, and location. Damn I've had some incredible ones. Time to play again, it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 4 legs. wings, fire breatherit was more epic than the Skyrim onesThat's because you often don't need to lift a finger against Skyrim's dragons, you can just run to a town and the guards will kill it for you. That should be a game-breaking anomaly but it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
