New Releases for the Week of November 27th-December 3rd, 2011

Traditionally, an overabundance of food on the Thanksgiving holiday is following by a period of leftovers. The interactive entertainment industry works similarly, delivering a scant number of new delectables, while our gaming plates are still satiated. Seems like a perfect time to dig in and gorge on a balanced diet of Skyrim, Assassin’s Creed: Relations, Battlefield 3, and Modern Warfare 3.

Kind of a crap week for new games. Excellent for the backlog.

The one guy I liked was grounded gamer Fonzerelli and they roasted him for making good points and arguments. They all just had their heads in the sand.

Lost Legacy was also a DLC in some people's eyes.. Game was longer than Alan Wake and Gears.. Just saying.. Wipes the floor with each one of these technically too

No it is not. Between 20 and 30 hours for this stand alone, that means a new story around Mile Morales with better graphics and much more details and specific moves and power for Miles, yes it is still Manhathan but at another time after the first Spiderman this is a stand alone.

Damn!! Those puddles with Ray Tracing and particle effects in air. Cool so damn cool... Can't wait for Spidey..

NeoGamer2321352d ago

This generation graphics are going to get a really nice upgrade with Ray Tracing for sure.

mockzer01351d ago

Where is that top screenshot from Jin?

Christopher1351d ago

I hope this at least stops the theories that there is no Ray Tracing on PS5. Yeah, it's custom, but it's there. Which is much better than being absent.

SamTheGamer1351d ago

No matter how much you give them proof but they will still make new bias theories..

WelkinCole1351d ago

The crap PS exclusives have to put with man.

LMosche1351d ago

They finally undid the suit downgrade that no one talked about. It's finally reflecting light again, get rekt people who used puddles as an excuse for the downgrade.

Do not care about ray tracing. Just give me 60fps.

phoenixwing1352d ago (Edited 1352d ago )

honestly you won't be able to make decisions like that consistantly for your video games unless you buy pc however i wouldn't be surprised if this ran at 60 or had a mode to

Bathyj1352d ago

It's already confirmed to have a 4k60 mode isn't it?

phoenixwing1352d ago

@bathy i looked it up and you're right it will have a performance mode

crazyCoconuts1352d ago

They said it would be an option

medman1352d ago

@dazzysima
You say you don't care about ray tracing, but it makes an enormous difference in not only image quality, but it also has the potential to change gameplay. I think gamers who haven't experienced ray tracing may not fully understand the difference it can make but it really is an enormous difference. Of course, you'll get much more out of it on pc than you will on console, but I digress.

Zhipp1352d ago

You see, when you make comments like that you need to back it up with examples. How has ray tracing affected gameplay in your experience?

medman1352d ago (Edited 1352d ago )

@zhipp
Example...you're playing an fps, single or multiplayer, and you're approaching the edge of a building by a cross street. Normal non ray traced gameplay, you peek your head around the corner, exposing yourself to threats because that is your only option. Ray traced game design has a strategically placed car glass or adjacent store shop window across the street s that you catch the glint of sunlight reflecting in, letting you look at the window of the car to see the corridor you are about to enter, without having to duck your head around the corner, thus not exposing yourself to the sniper that's waiting for you on the rooftop. It can change game design by simple implementations.

Zhipp1351d ago

Thats... actually really cool. I was about to make a snarky comment about how all that can be achieved though more convencional means, but actually in a dynamic setting raytracing probably is the only(or at least best) way to incorporate that kind of stuff into gameplay organically.

tontontam01351d ago (Edited 1351d ago )

I'd play it @1080p60 (checkerboard upscale to 4k) with ray tracing on.

Just like on PC, I have a choice to play games like metro exodus, control @native4k60 on my 4kTV.
but maxing the graphics effect with ray tracing on @ 1080p and upscaled using DLSS makes the
games look superior and make it looks somewhat like "next gen" playing at native 4k is not worth it.

Spider man and the infamous puddles 🤣
Will be impressive on PS5. I hope the first game has a PS5 upgrade.

Bathyj1352d ago

I love they've deliberately shown the puddle. Great sense of humour. I think rumour is if you get this you get Spiderman with it so maybe it's unlocked framerate.

Silly gameAr1352d ago

This is how companies embrace a meme and it feels natural and genuine, instead of forced like these "brutes" out here.

Miles Morales comes with remaster of PS4 game when buying MM for PS5

Videogames and the Oscars

gamrReview's Xavier Griffiths: "Movie tie-in games have a reputation for being notoriously bad and shoddy, doing both a disservice to the original film and videogames as a medium. More often than not the movies that get adapted into videogames are high octane, action-oriented summer blockbusters and the aim is simply to extract as much money from the market as possible. Realistically no one expects games based on trashy films such as Catwoman, The Cat in the Hat, or Eragon to be good in the first place, but what about games based on films that have garnered recognition for the highest award in cinema?"

Nano Assault Review - MX2

Nano Assault is a particularly fit game for going mobile as it has many short and intense levels that suck you in, especially with how well the 3DS's 3D actually works. Developed by Shin'en, they've made several smaller games that you may have come across, Art of Balance and FAST Racing League to name a few.
