Somehow my mind is having a ridiculously hard time making sense of the fact that the PS3 is nearly 20 years old. 💀
NES? Sure!
Sega Saturn? No problem!
I can easily and gladly place them in their own time zone.
But 20 years for the PS3. Yeah, this one kinda breaks me. 😱
I am now about 5 hours into Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut on PC and absolutely enjoying the game so far.
The graphics are beyond amazing. The combat is super smooth and fights with enemies can be tough at times if you're not careful. I love the open world and being able to explore things on your own in a lot of ways. Definitely glad I picked this game up.
This is yet another insanely packed issue.
From the 132 pages in total, I have over 60 of them that I'd like to post! 😅
So I'll try to pick some great stuff and save the rest for another day.
First up is the preview for Final Fantasy 8 on PSone from GamesMaster 80 - April 1999 (UK)
I have added a new chapter on Extrinsic vs. Intrinsic rotations to our #PlayStation module.
Since the yaw, pitch, and roll sequence of rotations of our ship is always based on the last rotation (respecting the pilot's view), it was important to explain the math for both cases.
Preview for Killzone 2 on Playstation 3 from GamesMaster 203 - October 2008 (UK)
While the game had it's issues, especially with input latency, I loved playing this one online.
The various modes during each round were such a breath of fresh air compared to the normal deathmatch stuff.
I really get the feeling that AAA games are dying.
Layoffs everywhere, huge budgets, too big to fail; indie devs are eating their lunch and ex-McKinsey MBAs are leading the Xbox division into their disaster. It was cool while it lasted… but maybe its a good thing.
I wonder why Valve is not laying off people. Maybe it's because they understand gamers and keep career-centric managers out?
So, I think now is probably a good time to start saving for a PS5 Pro. Nothing crazy in terms of saving, but like, putting $20 aside from every paycheck from now on. Just so when the time arrives I won't have to go digging deep into the piggy bank 🐷💸 #PlayStation#videogames
While it's not quite the start of the weekend yet, I've lost way to much time by being sick these past couple of weeks, so I wanted to get a head start this time.
So what better way to do this than with a new magazine release.
GamesMaster 79 - March 1999 (UK) has just been added to the magazine catalogue.
