Best VR game is Half-Life: Alyx, and you have full control of movement and actions.
Hey Kai, it’s Kingsman. That’s the movie you were thinking of
Any anime that you think is underrated that you would recommend?
Seeing the beginning of this reminds me of a game you should consider checking out. It's called Detroit Become Human.
25:52 theres is your Death Stranding reference when dude hopped in the box thts actually crazy we actually get to see the reference
To be honest, I want Final Fantasy Tactics more than any of the other games on this year's State of Play. I love that game so much.
Modern AAA gaming has kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. A lot are only worth it at a discounted price, and after they've had months worth of patches and bug fixes.
Would you consider checking the trailer for Skopje '83? Fair warning, the original launch has been breached due to multiplayer and they are yet to show a trailer with the new date, but is worth checking for visuals alone.
FYI, Sony differentiates between Showcase (big show, big reveals, once a year or so) and State of Play (every few months, smaller reveals, but still very cool). So level of expectation is the issue.
This show was tailor-made for long-time Playstation fans going all the way back to PS1. Basically all of the games shown have some connection to franchises or developers going back to the roots of the generation that made Playstation what it even is today. Playstation used to have a healthy mix of games like these along with their AAA high budget fare and the issue has been that they went away from all of them and thinned out the selection. Sony even closed their Japanese studio, which was a mistake that harmed their versatility.
This Showcase shows that variety still exists, and yet there's a portion of the viewship that says they were disappointed because it wasn't more AAA games as if there are infinite studios that can produce such titles on 5-7 year development cycles. By calling these disappointing, that's how we ended up in the state we're in today – very little to play that's not catered to the lowest common denominator/casual audience, focus tested, bereft of creativity/innovation, focused purely on Return on Investment.
Expedition 33 is a wild success and it's on the production level of the types of games being shown in this showcase, and nobody complained because the industry sorely needs more like it.
Granted, most of the people whining in chat are kids or started with PS4 so they don't really know.
Too much hack and slash crap imo. 007 is probably the only one i'm interested in.
You should definitely play Resident Evil 7 on VR. Still one of the most immersive experiences you can have.
Also… you are a future gamer, you just dont know it, because you didnt do the math jet… what do you thing is going to happan, wehen you WATCH games like Gof of War, for years to come?
State of play is what the name says… it shows you around 4 times a year what the state of play aka gaming world is, its not created to blow you away. is there a program that shows up 4 times a year, and every time blows you away???
So the game you didn't really understand why it was there in the presentation, "Baby Steps", that's a game by an Australian dev called Bennett Foddy who has built up a kind of cult following because his games are all about having very weird and frustrating controls. One of his earliest games "QWOP" was named after the fact that each of those keys on the keyboard is assigned to a different limb and you had to try to run a hurdles race trying to move each limb individually.
His game being part of Playstation's show is a testament to the following that he's built over the years with his weird little games.
If you have to cover a Horror game consider P.T. as one of your first ones. That "Playable Teaser" is some of the most masterful horror to have ever been crafted.
i just kept thinking sid was gonna vomit mid sentence
DIGIMON GANG 🎉
Now I want you to watch ALL the Ultimate and Team Ultimate Attacks from Naruto Shippuden connections 😅
Now I'm interested in you reacting to Guilty Gear
Love that you are reacting to these!!
Regarding VR: it ain't for everyone, but I find it pretty incredible!
When I first started out playing VR games I could only go about 30 minutes without feeling a bit sick, but after a few weeks that became more like 2 hours.
As far as movement goes there are all sorts of options! Most games I've played allow you to move with thumbsticks on the control, or teleporting (which for some folks makes them less sick), but I have not played PSVR.
On PC I have played on the Vive Index, sitting down and standing up, sometimes moving around my space a little bit (but not much because I am in a small apartment :P).
PC and Vive are definitely on the extremely expensive side of things, I could only justify it because I already had a decent PC for work, so the cost for me was just the headset.
The Quest is very good these days, though, and definitely a good cheaper option!!
Mostly I have played Beat Saber, Skyrim VR (which was a bit fidly to set up well), and Half Life: Alyx (which is a spectacular game that I absolutely love, and was so good it spoiler other VR games for me a bit :P). Alien Isolation is also incredible, but was too stressful for me!
This was an unexpected treat, I like the reactions to game showcases honestly
Hey bro for the upcoming Xbox showcase you should livestream it 😁😁
Pragmata has been on my wish list so long, I looked at it the other day, I shit you not, I started laughing. I almost deleted it, I can't believe like five days later there's a trailer and a release window
Knew that Deadman would be your thing, SUDA51 is of those 'video game auteurs' like Kojima.
Idk why, but something about Pragmata makes me think it's going to be something special. Maybe it's the aesthetic, the music, or the adorable Diana I have no idea, but every time I see this game I feel this sense of wonder and emotion that not other trailers make me feel. Here's to the devs and their success!
Since Summer Game Fest is just 2 days after this state of play most of the publishers ( for the heavy hitter games) most likely wanted to put the spotlight on their games in front of a bigger audience / crowd during the live show
51:43 DC fight back 😭
Most state of plays are meh tbh
Check out the silent hill 2 remake if u can
check out titanfall 2
I have no clue what that first trailer was
Is that musical Tetris 😭
That marvel fighting game is made by the same people who made a dragon ball fighting game awhile back and that game has amazing animation like genuinely absurd
The film you were thinking of is called "Kingsman: The Secret Service" . The lad's name in the film was "Eggsy". Awesome content learned a lot from your knowledge of film making. Very cool to watch your perspective of how film is produced.👍👍
