The Old PlayStation Thread | *NEW THREAD IS UP*

I used to think collector's editions were for franchises that have been established, proved themselves, etc.

Now every game comes with one.
I blame Oprah.:smh:

There's a huge nerd fascination with Aliens, I almost ordered that CE because I've been bummed for years on missing out on this version of the movies.

Lately though I don't buy anything as a Limited or Collectors edition unless the design team is one that I really like OR it's something ridiculous that I have to own. Hell half of the time I won't buy the game until a GOTY version is out a year later.
 
Sooo besides the DLC, what are the benefits of owning the limited or collectors editions of Destiny?

Statues, some art work maybe, and some other stuff. Just get the digital edition that's for 89.99 and you get the same $5 discount on the DLCs.
 
Finally got the 5.1 to work. Apparently I had it at Linear PCM. When I put it on Bitstream (Dolby) or Bitsream (DTS) it works. Using DTS for now since most sites its better but its hard to hear the difference imo.
 
taking some time off of the Wii U and since I decided to hold off on the PS4....

bought kingdom hearts 1.5 and the last of us. never played either
 
Im fine with SEs along as its the price of the standard version. (cc GTAV with free Kiflom tee)

SMH at GTAV though. Never been swindled so hard before and I have no plans of purchasing for ps4 :stoneface:

:lol: swindled? I guess the only thing Rock* got over on people was on the Online Hiest. That said, I can't wait to jump back in to Los Santos!

Yeah. I'm not double dipping on TLOU, but if GTA V has sufficient enough new content like cars and customization, (doesn't even have to be missions) then I'll get it on PS4 too.

The online for PS3/360 was BROKEN though. It needs to work day one and actually have the kind of heists it advertised. I spent a lot of time in GTA V just messing with the NPC's and customizing super cars and monster trucks. Hopefully there's a trade-in bonus with the PS3/360 versions.
 
I've wanted to buy a wrestling game for awhile, last one I bought and played was SvR 2009. It's hard for me to watch wrestling nowadays and I think that would take away from the experience for me. 2K15 does look good and I'm curious to see what 2K can do now that they have had a full year to work on it.
 
Speaking of 2K, did anybody else see that NBA 2K15 will bring back MyCrew exclusively for PS3/360 and not PS4/X1. I was pissed!! Supposedly they're bringing something better to current gen.

I don't even consider that to be real crew if it's that nonsense from last year. Don't think we'll ever get what we had in 2011. I wasn't really feeling park either :smh: .
 
Bout to cop this PS4 and 2k14 when I get off :pimp:

I might cop Watchdogs or another game if I can find something on sale..

Resident Evil Remastered Will Run at 30fps on PS4, Xbox One
View media item 1119553
After being announced yesterday for digital release in early 2015 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC, Capcom has updated the website for Resident Evil Remastered, revealing some new details.

Along with running at 1080p on PS4 and Xbox One, and 720p on PS3 and Xbox 360, Resident Evil Remastered will run at 30fps on all platforms (PC specs and a price are TBD).

Here’s Capcom’s introduction for the game:

If you thought the remake looked good, wait until you see the HD version! This is the game that defined the survival-horror genre and launched a franchise that has sold over 61 million copies.

The original Resident Evil was released in 1996, and the remake arrived in 2002. The remake was built from scratch by the same creators and was considered a masterpiece.

Now, over a decade later,, and with modern technology we can make the scares even more real in terms of both graphics and sound. The interface has also been updated to meet today’s standards.

But don’t worry, we made sure not to change anything that made the original the classic that it is. You don’t mess with a masterpiece, after all.

The Resident Evil development team then added:

Our base for this HD version is the remake from 2002 which was inspired by the original game that was released in 1996.

We wanted to keep the remake’s feeling and atmosphere while producing an HD experience for modern systems.

It wasn’t just about making everything look prettier, we’ve also worked hard to analyze and polish every little aspect of the game so that we could provide the best version possible.

There is certain timing programmed into the game that is important to scary moments. We were careful not to adjust things like this in order to preserve the horror and atmosphere of the remake.

To summarize, our goal was to make an HD version that still plays like the remake.

Elsewhere on the site, some of the enhancements were highlighted:

Graphics

The environments come alive with detail thanks to resolution upgrades and non-static 3D models.
Post-processing effects like Bloom filters, which were not easy to do at the time of the original release, have been added to make the HD graphics even more realistic. The original game called this technique “video backgrounds.” We recorded the backgrounds themselves as videos to create realism that couldn’t be rendered in real time with the technology of the time.

Aspect Ratio

You can play in the original 4:3 screen ratio as well as 16:9 widescreen. CG cutscene movies also support the new widescreen ratio.
In widescreen mode, the screen will scroll. The parts of the screen that get cut off on the top and bottom will scroll into view automatically depending on the character’s position (you can switch the display mode during gameplay in real time).

Sound

The audio has been remastered to increase the sampling rate, and of course 5.1ch output is also now supported.

New Controls

You can play using the original control scheme or an alternate control scheme that lets you just push the analog stick to move in the direction you want to go. You can switch the control scheme during gameplay in real time.
 
The addition of MP really took away from the single player. Whether it was resources or lack of time, Ascension was the worst in the series. Following the other GoW series with the last one being the worst. 
 
^GOW Ascension was wasted potential.

The voice acting/ost were good.
Everything else was as if they were trying to recreate past gow levels without making it obvious.

Recycled boss fights, level padding, and the story...

What a slap in the face, this game was.
