PlayStation Experience 2017 South East Asia announced, August 5th in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. https://asia.playstation.com/en-my/press-releases/2017/1h/20170707-playstationexperience2017SEA/ No press conference but it's something. Now we just need an European version (they really should just move PSX throughout Europe and the US IMO instead of always being at the US West coast).

It seemslike that they may be trying to move away from other conferences in general and just have the PlayStation Experiences.

So the PS5 is still far ways off, but Matt from GAF said "Don't worry about BC". Hope he's right.



Hey guys so VGP told me about the idea of posting reviews and I really liked it, so I'll be doing reviews for 3 of my favorite games this year. For now I'm gonna start with Nier: Automata, gonna try to keep it as short and concise as possible. Also, since english is not my first language any feedback in grammar and syntax will be appreciated. 

                   

 

Going into Nier: Automata I didn't know what to expect since I didn't play the previous games, I tried the demo and what I got from it was a great combat, really good music pieces and some other examples of the type of gameplay the game had to offer. That alone set a strong foundation and convinced me to buy it, and the final product easily surpassed those expectations.

Storywise the games hooks you from the beginning, but what makes it great is that it does an excellent job setting an atmosphere were you feel like things are not as simple as they are presented, and there will be a lot of surprises depending on far you want to go. The game comes with multiple endings, one for each letter of the alphabet, however the only endings that matter are A through E and the rest are more of a joke, though who says you can't just end the game with one of those.

Sidequests are so good I would really encourage everyone to do them, as the majority have really strong stories behind them that complement that feeling of unease the game sets. One in particular even foreshadows a twist that comes to play at the very end of the game. Not everything is all dark and grim though, you get really sweet and funny moments from the sidequests as well. 

If you decide to see this through the end you'll get to play as 3 main characters, the strict with a high sense of duty 2B, the easy going and nerdy 9S and the badass and rebellious A2. All of them are great characters and their development and interactions between them and others is one of the highlights of the game.

The gameplay is probably the most drastic change Automata suffered as this time Platinum Games was in charge of it, and as you would expect from them it's a really fun, fast paced combat system with a good variety of weapons and combinations. To complement this you can customize your characters with chips you get through the game, which go from the basic increase attack and defense to advance techniques like slowing down time after a perfect dodge.

And last but not least the music, full of nothing but amazing tracks that have perfect synergy with the world, the story, the boss fights and the key character moments.

I really can't think of anything negative to say about this game so my score would be a 10/10. Those interested should definitely give it a try, even if you haven't played the previous ones you'll be able to get everything that happens in the game.

In other news, Steve from down the road said "If this lottery ticket wins you can have a few grand". Hope he's right.

He's one of the people who hinted at the XB1 X's $500 price point, so I have some faith in his input.



Added Mike's review to the reviews section. Thanks again Mike, I really appreciate it!

Retagging, planning to make my mini review for Persona 5 sometime next week.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Well everyone, it's been a week since I took over the thread!! I just want to know how everything thinks of my time as the thread OP so far, and what my positives and negatives have been so far!



neoGaf's still triggered by Quiet. lol

If PS5 has PS4 Backwards Compatibility I hope Sony will answer the following 3 questions immediately:

  1. Will it run the standard PS4 or PS4Pro version of the game?
  2. If a PS4 game doesn't have a PS4Pro version, will it run the game in PS4Pro Boost Mode? Or will there be a PS5 Boost Mode (even better than PS4Pro Boost Mode)
  3. If there's a PS5 Boost Mode for BC games, will it also improve PS4Pro games?

It would be absolutely amazing if it runs the PS4Pro version of games (when available) + PS5 Boost Mode.
