That Atari Jaguar... Every time I look at it the thing looks uglier!

Wastrel53667d ago

I mean *it* looks uglier. But then, as time has gone by, so do I.

ARESWARLORD3666d ago

Check out the Colecovision controller.

LKHGFDSA3666d ago

no original xbox but the ds3 is mentioned?
bad list.

Dasteru3666d ago (Edited 3666d ago )

That and they criticize the DS3 for having "huge dead zones in the sticks" yet praise the 360 controller, despite the fact that the dead zones in the DS3s sticks were less than half that of the 360 controllers.

rayzorn3666d ago

the atari jaguar controller was a beast. lol. i had one when it launched. it worked with their games but it was not good at all. most games had a template that fit over the number keys to tell you what they did. most where for changing weapons each number would be a different number.

the number keys where suppost to be the consoles way to do hotkeys like pc the pc uses. pc gaming was probably bigger then console gaming back then and console was trying to push back.

devwan3666d ago (Edited 3666d ago )

Actually the "Jaguar pad" was designed for exactly the reason you said - keyboard-like functionality - but for their ST-line of computers. It was the STe Power Pad first before the re-coloured Jaguar pad arrived with the test launch of the jaguar console at the end of 1993. The number pad makes a little more sense when you think it was to be used with a computer, as you say, as there's so much more to do with a computer than a console circa 1990.

If you're wanting more PSVR 2 support, you should probably buy all of these games.

Speak with your wallet!

Profchaos35d ago

Bit rich to have to buy games you don't want because you want Sony to support the expensive headset they sold us which cost as much as the console it runs on beyond paying third partys to support it.
Seriously in terms of first party we have horizon on day 1 and a gt 7 vr mode.

They seemingly have made little effort to support it beyond paying Capcom to make re games in VR or a second party studio to make firewall which was mismanaged.

I'm a day 1 psvr2 user and the only thing I'm excited for right now is PC support.

I commented recently this bespoke VR game development model we have right now clearly doesn't work

crazyCoconuts35d ago

On the one hand I feel like there's been plenty of smaller non-AAA games to play and occupy me as a supplement to my flat screen gaming.
But I agree that Sony has done nothing to elevate this beyond the niche it's in and into the mainstream where it would be economical to create AAA games for it.

Babadook735d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Most of these games are worth owning for most people; I own all but 2 of them in fact. So I agree with kevco33. I think you're crazy if you downplay this list quite frankly. Sony can't keep funding software if people don't buy any of it, the ball is squarely in OUR court.

Sony has spent a lot on 3rd party stuff this gen like RE.

phoenixwing35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Saving up for the headset is my first hurdle. Let alone buying games I don't want lol

mudakoshaka35d ago

People downvoting you for not having enough finances...what a world we live in, haha

phoenixwing35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

@mudako
They feel affronted at the very thought that I don't plunk down 500 immediately lol I have a little over 900 games in my backlog I've been buying games instead of hardware ever since I got my PC and ps5. I just don't know if vr is really for me honestly. Every time I have a couple hundred allocated to video games it makes more sense to buy a bunch of flat games instead of vr ones

mudakoshaka35d ago

I have 9 out of these 10 games. I try to buy all the VR games I like to support the advancement of VR!

TheEroica34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

I spoke with my wallet after watching the first headset get weak support. Easy pass until Sony earns my money. Feel bad for those who parted with 500 bucks, falling for the hype that Sony was actually gonna support this thing.

Neonridr35d ago

I own 7 of these titles off the list, lol.

NotoriousWhiz35d ago

I'm trying to decide if it's worth holding onto my psvr 2. I enjoy what it has currently, but it seems unlikely to get anything else. Might be better off just waiting for something with more support if that ever comes.

Profchaos35d ago

As a fellow psvr2 owner the question seemingly comes down to do you own a PC.

I think I'm all in I have a habit to hold onto my systems anyhow I still have my psvr1 to hell I still have my NES.

But while it's still worth something yeah you could sell it and if Sony turns the ship around you should be able to buy another one for less than you soldmit for I feel like we won't see any fix for the headset for the next 2 years rumours show that Sony has no current first party VR games in active development after they closed London studios

The whole psvr2 situation has left me feeling a little burnt on PlayStation as a whole to be honest. The first psvr felt experimental but it was supported far more than this superior headset

MIDGETonSTILTS1735d ago

GT7 surprised me, because I hate racing games, but i poured 100 hours into it way too quickly.

I’m looking forward to the Metro VR game this year, and I hope that WW2 dogfighter game releases eventually.

talocaca35d ago

I have most of them 😅

Waiting for a sale on Synapse and Arizona Sunshine 2.....also Metro coming this year looks great.

Resident Evil 4 Remake Was Devastated With Bugs A Month Before Launch

The Resident Evil 4 remake's director has revealed in a recent documentary that the game was riddled with bugs in its final month before launch.

Rebel_Scum51d ago

Not a big surprise really. All games are pretty rough until the very end and everything is released with bugs regardless of how the consumer quantifies it as being “polished.”

CrimsonWing6951d ago

That’s sort of how game development or any kind of software development goes. Looking for bugs and debugging, QA, and trying to scramble and polish everything before a deadline’s up.
