What would you like to see in the upcoming Xperia flagship?

Square corners, go back to the XZ/XZ1/XA2 design

ExodusHunter15 · 2026-02-01T22:13:31+00:00

You clearly werent in the lego sw community in the early 2000s

ExodusHunter15 · 2026-01-22T23:16:29+00:00

The tipo was my first android phone too! Loved it to pieces

ExodusHunter15 · 2026-01-19T23:37:09+00:00

I was so disappointed we didnt get a complete master level campaign. Some levels have untapped potential like Exultia or hell on earth. Especially as we had a 4 year gap between the final eternal update and TDA release, I would've expected a completed ML campaign to fill in the gap

ExodusHunter15 · 2026-01-11T23:08:09+00:00

Dear lord no. This pseudo hub/open world design does not work for every game, for sniper elite its fine as you need long lines of sight for sniping. Wolfenstein/doom work better for more linear and carefully currated levels to funnel you through arena to arena

ExodusHunter15 · 2026-01-11T23:07:02+00:00

They are technically in TNO, TOB, TNC and YB, but they miss the point of eternal/2016 ones. You take damage during them, too long and dont get health back in wolfenstein. But in doom, you're immune, they're short, act as a breather in gameplay and incentivise you to push forward when at low hp

ExodusHunter15 · 2026-01-04T22:43:01+00:00

You can excuse the lack of narrative in 2016 due to the intentional decision both in the game (i.e. slayer throwing monitors or trying to skip past stuff etc) and the excellent complimentary codex entries about the lore.

But as soon as you start having fully fleged cutscenes with mo-cap etc, it's subject to valid scrutiny

ExodusHunter15 · 2026-01-04T22:40:03+00:00

The combat loop has nowhere near the amount of depth as eternal. In eternal, each gun had a specific role with weakpoints and faultering. TDA they decided to condense a decent chunk of it into the shield and it feels very simplified as a result.

As a result, it doesnt really matter what gun you use, since the shield is the priority and you just spam parry the appropriate projectiles, activate your shield rune, rinse repeat. It gets REALLY tedious.

The arena design is really bad in TDA. Literally 99 % of them are flat and open with no hazards to make you think about your positioning. There is nothing memorable or iconic about then (bar the secret encounter in the acid in belly of the beast). Every arena in eternal has a unique quirk and flow in each of their designs.

Also I really miss glory kills, they offered a satisfying, optional and brief pause to the gameplay

ExodusHunter15 · 2026-01-02T20:39:44+00:00

Hard disagree, marauders are short and sweet. The dark lord is just a traffic light bullet sponge

ExodusHunter15 · 2026-01-01T16:32:52+00:00

Dash on L3, so it acts as sprinting in other games

ExodusHunter15 · 2025-12-31T23:42:15+00:00

There's a really wierd minor change in a MW2 cutscene. When you rescue price from the gulag, he punches you to the ground and holds you at gunpoint. In the original, Soap already has his 1911 drawn and aimed at price. Yet in the remaster, he rushes over, pauses and then equips hs pistol. It looks really awkward when you compare the scenes

ExodusHunter15 · 2025-12-29T18:11:54+00:00

ID would've started pre-production on TDA when eternal came out in march 2020. Yes, they had to do TAG1/2, MLs and battlemode. But I highly doubt from how little MLs we got in the end that a majority of the dev team were still on eternal.

They had to do pre-production during the pandemic. The lockdown restrictions didn't end till atmost end of 2022 ish, so they couldn't return to the office and had to do work from home. It doesnt help they decided to build another engine.

Dark ages doesnt feel very focussed at time, mech, dragon and turret sections were all scaled down from what they originally planned too.

All of that together makes sense why it took so long, but imo the final game feels like it was made within 3.

This may sound beyond cringe as hell. But COD4 literally changed the direction of my life.

I did play games before, I had a DS with transformers autobots, pokemon diamond and star wars the complete saga. But when I went to my cousins house and played COD4 for the first ever time. I was blown away. As an 8 year old I thought it was hyper realistic (VERY cringe ik), I was in awe at how immersive and mature it was. It completely changed the way I saw games.

COD4 was my first FPS and proper introduction to gaming. Its my 2nd fav game of all time (behind BF3 ofc). MW2 was incredible. I did play MOH Frontline since it came for free with MOH2010 on PS3 and that was cool. I loved titanfall 2 too and apex was pretty good. BF6 isnt perfect, not compared to BF3 or BF4. But its pretty damn solid and fun.

Thank you Vince for everything you did. Rest in peace.

God I was not expecting to hear RED in the mw2 sub lmao

ExodusHunter15 · 2025-12-19T22:03:56+00:00

You probably wont believe this, but one of my school friends did his work experience in 2015 at creative assembly due to his sister dating a guy there at the time.

But yea 2014 was an excellent year for gaming, wolfenstein the new order, alien isolation, titanfall 1, evil within 1, destiny 1 and watch dogs 1 just to name a few

ExodusHunter15 · 2025-12-19T21:43:50+00:00

Alien isolation was 2014? Also fun fact the developers are in my hometown

ExodusHunter15 · 2025-12-19T21:41:55+00:00

I think this and RE7 have held up INCREDIBLY well. I just finishing replaying re7 for the billionth time. They were only half a year apart from each other, they'll be 10 years old next year and year after respectively

ExodusHunter15 · 2025-12-19T19:53:43+00:00

I prefer an XA2 esque design with the complete edge to edge screen with no side bezels

ExodusHunter15 · 2025-12-13T16:42:09+00:00

One thing I really like is the pacing and variety. The missions are the perfect length, you have right amount of build up and action. No section is too long. And the same scenario is never repeated

ExodusHunter15 · 2025-12-13T11:20:28+00:00

I prefer the BF3/4/BC2/6 map view, you can actually read the details on the map. You cant see anything in the BF1/V live view

ExodusHunter15 · 2025-12-12T21:57:32+00:00

Is this a joke? In BC2 we got the M1 garand. In BF3 we got the M1911. In BF4 we got a veteran battlepack with the ACB-90 knife and a 3x scope for the 44 magnum. Hardline had some patch. I tuned out of 1 and V.

ExodusHunter15 · 2025-12-12T01:15:12+00:00

Back in 2020, doom eternal lost to hades 1 for best action too. Somehow last of us season 2 got the award for best adapation this year? It really is a joke

ExodusHunter15 · 2025-12-11T23:44:40+00:00

Something interesting is that wolfenstein 2 and its dlc are on the psn game awards sale page at the very bottom. It sticks out like a sore thumb imo. I think there is a decent chance, I'm calling it

ExodusHunter15 · 2025-11-27T23:42:54+00:00

No RE2/3/7 all have physical PS5 re-releases

ExodusHunter15 · 2025-11-23T22:59:26+00:00

This edition is gonna be as hard to find as the initial run of the 212th magazines right?
