The Ascent and Flight Simulator! Can not wait! I am thinking about buying a flight stick!

Can not wait for the Ascent and flight sim!

Army_of_Darkness1072d ago

Not going to lie, The ascent looks pretty awesome! Hopefully this is timed exclusive so I can eventually get to play it on my PS4 / 5.

DJStotty1071d ago (Edited 1071d ago )

Me too, still undecided on which flight stick to get though. Will have to compare features/reviews etc

I have recently bought a brand new wireless kb/m for Series X to get me started before i venture into the flight stick immersion :p

I play flight sim on PC currently but can't wait to try it on the Series X. I don't have the most top end PC so I'm curious to see the performance differences. I feel the X version will be superior in my current situation. Wondering if my flight controlers will work (HOTAS).

Ascent looks good too. Initially I wasn't that into it, but the more I see the more I want to play it. I even have it and flight sim pre-installed already via Game Pass.

I feel the same way about fight simulator. You need a serious rig to get the max out of it. I think it will be a great benchmark of how hard they can push the series x's hardware.

Flight simulator is a CPU intensive game and the GPU is the better part of the X compared to the cpu . I thought you Xbox guys would know more about this . It’s already stated 30fps. This is not the game tech wise (not really a game to begin with ) you want to make the X look good really. For the Xbox in particular you would want something programmed to use as many of the cores as possible as that is it selling point . The problem with that many cores is it’s a lot of work and most games especially multiplat won’t bother , time/$ vs benefit thing . Maybe the first party games will do it eventually but I’d guess they won’t either for a long time (if ever) especially since the S exists . It will make development that much harder for 2 skus and I doubt they want to make two separate games . It’s not as easy as use this number of cores then set the next higher number to get full use out of each core

@jznrpg Are you done flaming out with your response. That was brutal to read.

DJStotty1071d ago

Looks like you may be in luck with the HOTAS :-

Is the flight stick any good? and at what price point are we looking at for it?

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1071d ago (Edited 1071d ago )

Looking forward to The Ascent especially since D&D was a dud...

NeoGamer2321071d ago

I don't know why people thought D&D was going to be anymore then a dud. LOL.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1071d ago

It seemed like it was going to be a good game and I'm into those types of games. Unfortunately it was completely trash...

NeoGamer2321071d ago

I like RPGs as well. But I am cautious with games now-a-days. Cyberpunk and CoD Black Ops were the last straws for me being burned. Now, I wait for the lab rats to give it the thumbs up.

I would've jumped on it, had reviews come out decent. Now, being on GamePass isn't even good enough for me to try it! LOL.

The Status of Every PlayStation Franchise

Sony owns a fair few iconic franchises - many dating right back to the original PlayStation. But while we’re pretty familiar with the likes of ongoing series such as God of War, Horizon, and Gran Turismo, there are plenty of PlayStation franchises that haven’t seen the light of day in a long time. So in this video, we’re going to be taking a look at the status of PlayStation’s many IPs, and checking in on when we last heard from them.

A 20+ minute video? Just include the written list in the article.

Status in one word:

Underutilized.

The end.

anast1d 13h ago

Which ones should they utilize more?

BehindTheRows1d 13h ago

Indeed. We hear this “underutilized” talk as if every old franchise should have a comeback or reboot.

I_am_Batman1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

When new IPs start looking like Concord, you can't blame people for wanting another Resistance or Killzone instead.

anast1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

J&D and Resistance are good ones. As much as I love these, though, I'm not sure they would payoff without an enormous marketing push. Younger gamers today do not have taste and the older gamers that would appreciate these might not be enough. But yeah, I would day 1 Resistance.

Well that’s just the consequence of consistently producing new IPs isn’t it. Not all studios can be or want to be like polyphony digital who made gran turismo all the time.

Abear211d 12h ago

Here lies The Infamous Series; once a shining beacon of free flying, lighting bolt sniping, and wire riding amazing gameplay, it has been laid to rest and be forgotten for what seems like forever despite being loved by millions. Plot next to Wipeout across from NBA Jam.

Lightning771d 8h ago

Still baffling they cancelled Twisted Metal, Factions 2 and Spider-Man Multiverse LS game but thought Concord looked good enough.

Chocoburger1d 8h ago

Ape Escape, Parappa / Lammy, Gravity Rush, good times. Always hoping for them to make a return, or at least similar type games, such as the newly-announced Astro Bot, but one game isn't enough. Bring back the joyfulness of the 90's era of gaming.
