That's awesome

RememberThe3572010d ago

Right? I've never like, the idea of companion apps before but this is kinda cool.

ArchangelMike2011d ago

I have never seen the point of companion apps that remove aspects of the HUD from the TV screen and transplants it on your phone. I mean, what's the point of removing the games on screen map from the 42" screen right in front of me, so that it can be transplanted on my 8" phone screen that's in my pocket?

chippychan2010d ago

Agreed. Looking away from the TV screen to your phone sort of breaks the immersion for me. The last companion app I tried was for Fallout 4 and it was fun for a couple minutes before I realized the in-game pip-boy just felt more natural.

EazyC2010d ago

Yes - but on the contrary, I'm going to try turning the mini map off and using the physical map!

Yes, this probably works far better in my head.

HICK2010d ago

I actually did this with RDR and it was really cool. Made the whole experience that much better so you aren't just riding from waypoint to way point, but actually focusing on landmarks for navigation. I have since recommended it to other gamers and most have enjoyed this approach.

Jinger2010d ago

The only companion apps I have liked were the ones that allowed me to alter my characters and such from the app when I'm not playing.

HICK2010d ago

Well obviously it's not going to help you with your phone in your pocket. I have a Nyko (I think it's Nyko) attachment that mounts my phone to my DS4. I am really excited for this companion app as I always turn off all HUD in all games for various reasons. This will be a great way to still have some features available while not obstructing my TV view and cinematic experience.

JackBNimble2010d ago

I believe that is the whole point of this app

HICK2010d ago

also when you have an OLED tv you don't want to risk burn-in :)

RememberThe3572010d ago

You turn off all HUD in all games? Bro your other level gamer.

HICK2007d ago

@RememberThe357 ya some games learning curve leaps exponentially at first. You should have seen me playing Metro 2033 on survival mode on the hardest setting with no prompts, no HUD. Quite the experience. I love it though and enjoy starting games off on the hardest settings/no HUD.

"allowing you to completely remove the in-game HUD from your television should you choose"

Key part, "should you choose"... Its a choice and everyone loves more choices (most people?). Options and extras are always nice.

BrettAwesome2010d ago

8" phone? That must be a bitch to fit in any pocket. Should have gotten a bigger tv instead

V10Elit3x2010d ago (Edited 2010d ago )

Good! I want a Hud less experience. I always turn off crosshairs or HUD if the games allows for it, for maximum experience in singleplayer games!

1nsomniac2010d ago

Oh wow, are these still a thing!?

jznrpg2010d ago

Hm I usually don’t mess with these types of things because it takes my focus away from the screen. I will try it out but I doubt I’ll use it long

6 Games That Genuinely Deserve A Current-Gen Upgrade

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.

JonTheGod7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Probably not very different.

No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!

Yi-Long7d ago

It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...

Demetrius7d ago

I'm not into racing games but yeah I even looked at gameplay of that sometimes

Demetrius7d ago

Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh

hmm kinda out there i find red dead 2 a over hyped game i am sure there are other's out there worthy of this award.

Are we saying rdr 2 mp is better than the first one?

The cover shooting better on #2 than #1?

I mean they reused 80% of rdr 1 map on rdr 2

smolinsk26d ago

Red Dead Redemption 1 was better. A better story that's for sure but the world in red Dead Redemption 2 is fantastic. But overall yes Red Dead Redemption 2 is overhyped but with best living World ever made.

just_looken26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

Oh rdr 2 world how you leave tracks what you can do and the npc's are great no doubt

For me its the forced guns one way to play missions and the camp you can do nothing be a ass and there is no change sense none of the hunting/donating.bounty/karma etc even taking care of your horse matters. Then you got the horse inventory along with them bringing in realistic inventory but at the same time have that slomo crap pick a lane is it a wild west sim or a max payne rip off.

shinoff218325d ago (Edited 25d ago )

Plus who cares about the mp. Single player is where it's at.

I don't think it's the best sequel either. I liked it but I can see why some say it's overhyped. That's because it was. Great game still. I'd take xcom 2 as a better sequel. I'm sure there's plenty others.

just_looken25d ago

We care about mp because of gta v even if you been living under a rock you know what gtao did to gta v dlc.

Though rdr 2 mp failed it still put time/resources and budget away from the single player for a subpar experience compared to the first.

lucasnooker26d ago

Hmmm don’t know about that one myself. There’s some good sequels there….

No way last of us 2 was a better sequel than the original resident evil 2. The story of TLOU2 was a huge let down for me!

Assassins creed 2 was a vast improvement over the original and still the very best of the entire franchise imo.

Half-life 2 will always be legendary.

RDR2 is great but the best sequel ever? I don’t think so… just my opinion though I guess

shinoff218325d ago

Shoot down last of us 2 but bring up assassins creed 2. What in the world.

anast26d ago

Last of Us 2 would be mine and Dark Souls 3 has to be up there.

raWfodog26d ago

I also enjoyed TLOU2 but RDR2 edges it out for me. Both hit me in the feels but RDR2 just a little bit more lol.

anast26d ago

RDR2 is an excellent game. One of my top 10 of all time.

SimpleSlave26d ago

Sure, if you started playing game yesterday and just for this series. Otherwise? lol... No.
