In this week's episode, Kiaun will discuss the Playstation 5 allegedly being priced at $499, Xbox is getting a custom limited edition Cyberpunk 2077 themed console, we get a release date for Streets Of Rage 4, more rumors are circulating about the new Batman Court Of Owls video game and the Playstation 4 exclusive Wild is still being developed.
CD Projekt has concluded support work on Cyberpunk 2077, as the studio has turned focus towards the next Witcher and several other projects.
I really have to get back into it, didn’t even get half way through, have the dlc and everything too.
Cyberpunk 2077 has come a long way from being one of the worst games on the planet to being one of the best ones.
I shelved it after a few hours in game at launch, glad I didn't refund it. One of the few games I've actually completed in the last year, and after finishing the campaigns I wanted to just jump back in from the start. They pulled a No Mans Sky and finished one of the best FPS in the last few years.
BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.
Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.
I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.
It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.
Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.
I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
I have a feeling that the plan is to phase out the One X and replace it with the Series S (lockhart) for the same price. All rumors say that it may be lower in TF (4tf compared to 6tf of the X) but it will actually be more powerful overall due to having a much more modern CPU and the GPU is also more optimized. Not sure on memory, will it be 12gb or will it be 8gb but if it is to be the new "X" replacement then it will need to be equal to or greater than the X.
the SX will be the top line next gen. The SS will be the middle tier and the existing XBO S will be entry level (if they decide to keep making it strictly for Gamepass)
Makes sense to give choices of price for next generation. For next gen MS did their homework and they will start to see the results of that commitment.
Couple of points:
*Nothing replaces real sports but it would be cool to have virtual sports besides real sports played by the real athletes in control. With VR support to watch within the games, races, etc. Would be fun and more money generated throughout.
*I think Sony is going to come in at $399 based on history. Only $499 if they want to make up losses from corona virus shutting thing down and hurting Sony's revenue for 2020.
*After all the typical colors and custom franchise models, Nintendo's next release should be a VR Switch. No reason for a 3D model or a two screen model. VR should be next. It would help legitimize VR and cut into Oculus Quest's momentum.
*Sony's VR robot is a concept patent. But Sony is known for high quality robots like Aibo The Pet Dog. I could see this releasing in Japan if it ever happened. I mean, the Japanese are already doing things like this which is awesome

What other country does this?
*As I've said before, Lockhart is a stupid idea unless it streams XSX games only. But you can do that with current hardware. So, it defeats the purpose of cheaper hardware. Xbox gamers speak so much about power, who's going to buy a gimped hardware system? Nobody. It's gimped. One system. One focus. One price. That's all. Unless you have two SSD sized systems. One terabyte version. One, 2 terabyte version for more internal storage. But a gimped model will not sell.
Lastly. I like the podcast and the easy flow of the host without slip up even though there's too much shucking and jiving. No lies or misleading. But too much joking. Maybe that's his style. Who knows. Maybe you need a side man or woman to break some of it up like New York style radio hosts. It's funny but too much for the whole show.
Good cast overall though.
