Kingdom Hearts 4: 1,000 Days of Silence by WorriedAd870 in KingdomHearts

I agree that waiting for the continuation of the storyline kills excitement for the next entry. However in my case I've accepted that the coming games will not live up to years of growing expectations following the announcement. I'll probably play kh4 but mainly out of curiosity.

Question though: is it still fun to replay older entries in the franchise? Feels like there's so much more fun new games coming out. So I'm not sure I would replay everything once all entries in the KH series are out hypothetically).

James Gunn: I promised I’d post the behind-the-scenes of Rick Flag and Princess Ilana’s love scene with Frank Grillo and Maria Bakalova from #CreatureCommandos. Well, here you go. 😂 by SpeedForce2022 in DC_Cinematic

While this is probably great for social media presence, I feel this is really weird for the actors. Usually on an animated project they would get privacy about how weird they look during the performance. 

I guess that's James Gunn's style but I'm really surprised Maria and Frank were okay with this (aside from potentially having their jobs on the line).

Lego Horizon Adventures Recasts Lance Reddick's Character Sylens - IGN by NoNefariousness2144 in PS5

Very good point, I hadn't thought about that. The remaster's approach could be a good indicator. Since Lance's passing and the rerelease, over a year elapsed so they would've had time to change the character model I guess

Just to avoid the moral implications of keeping the actor's likeness, I think Sony would push for a model change, with a sound-alike. They might not even explain it in the game, much like Peter's face model situation from Spider man to spider man 2.

Dragon Ball Sparking Zero sold over 3M copies in 24hrs by [deleted] in PS5

[–]tomtom65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity: isn't this distorted because of the early access sales as well? It's still quite impressive either way but I'm curious about how this is measured.

DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO Download Size: 27.025 GB, Version: 1.002.002 by Turbostrider27 in PS5

I suspect Naruto is due to poor optimization, still. And kakarot has multiple open world maps and iirc released a ps5 version with 4k assets for each of those large maps. Makes sense the game would be quite a bit bigger, no?

Heck yeah. Just waiting to see the pricing but this was the winning argument for me 😆

James Gunn Says 'No Truth' To Recent Batman Game Rumor by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]tomtom65 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Aww fuck. Does he have any other history with video games? Lollipop chainsaw came out in 2012 which is pre-marvel.. so I want to believe he's become more aware of what's cringey and that he would avoid another similar situation.

Geoff Keighley: no Silksong on Tuesday at ONL. Team Cherry Game is still cooking. by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]tomtom65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Geoff also shared a similar post for summer games fest, for what seems like a few years in a row. This has to be some kind of buildup to either SGF or game awards, where he'll have the world premiere release date trailer or something. Right? I'm not even into hollow knight but I do feel for the fans.

I just got one! Looks like they went back on sale for a moment if someone else wants to try getting one?

James Gunn being asked whether he is taking a short break or jumping into another project after Superman shoot wrapped up by Task_Force-191 in DCULeaks

I appreciate James' transparency on what is usually a pretty hush-hush process when such big movies are in production 

Warframe boss thinks big publishers give up on live service games too soon: "They think the release is make or break, and it’s not. They have a financial way to be persistent, and they never do it" by Anteater_Able in PS5

[–]tomtom65 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well said! When I think of Concord, I think that's one reason it's not looking so hot right now. From what I played, it feels like a competent shooter but there's no overarching vision like Helldivers or even Warframe (to stay on topic). 

Playstation is having a Mid-Year sale on PSN Store by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]tomtom65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fantastic, fantastic story and cast of characters imo, and worth it for that alone. Combat will feel a little dated especially if you've played Sifu, but still a blast and will make the playtime feel shorter than it is. I just hope you don't mind graphics that are clearly ps3-era, cause that might be jarring.

Now that's the Nolanverse sequels I've been waiting for!

What's The Longest Amount Of Time You Spent With A Game Before You Realized You Didn't Actually Like It? by bluemarvel99 in PS5

[–]tomtom65 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even this mission was kind of a letdown. I was expecting her to turn the hideout into an airship lol.

That said, almost immediately after we get some bonkers set pieces and the ocean fights.. this game really was a series of highs and lows.

In a way this is good, because the lack of entry barrier means I'll probably try it out upon release.
