I'd like this romantic notion to be true. But I fear subscription model game libraries are here to stay and only become more dominant over time. Sony may have clearly won the console battle this time but I'm not so sure about them winning the war. And this is not me being an MS apologist, I hate this, I just think it might work
Amen! A good, tight, Zelda game with a focus on dungeons and puzzles. Let people have the new style Zelda if you gotta, but let us have the OoT style games too. That's not without precedent either, the handheld 2D Zelda's in the style of A Link to the Past etc have coexisted alongside the 3D Zelda's before
I hate everything about this. most noteably that there doesn't appear to be an option going forward for a version with a blue ray drive
Those YouTube vids are very cherry picked. For all the little details missing from 4 to 5 there's a load of things in 5 not found in 4. 5 was pretty mind-blowing I remember when it came out on ps360, that they could get all that out of this aging hardware. It felt a lot better to play too.
I enjoyed them all, I'd play more of that with a fresh coat of paint. But yeah 2 is the better of the 3. That's the bar, just whether they can reach it or not 20 years later with a totally disconnected team is another story
"That's not what a Final Fantasy game is."
...isn't it? I thought a party based RPG was exactly what Final Fantasy is (at least the mainline ones).
fair enough I guess. I mean it seems like useful tech, it does what it says on the box (roughly doubling asset loading speeds) just doesn't seem to be much impetus to implement it from anyone, which is a shame but not that unexpected. PS5 really took the lead here with dedicated dedicated hardware for just such a process (rather than using the CPU or GPU). At the moment we're at this crossroads point I think because cross platform devs are just now coming to a point where they don'...
Who's hyping up what tech? Square? Microsoft? I don't follow.
Well, would you look at that, a regular old gen3 nvme SSD with direct storage on PC beats PS5's special-sauce SSD for load times (dependent on the CPU).
"Cringe is another thing. I think some don't know what cringe really is."
Cringe is subjective. Like, some people can watch The Big Bang Theory without their forehead imploding under the weight of the severe cringe. How, I don't know, but there you have it.
Likewise, I haven't played the game, but the dialogue I've seen in trailers and little snippets seems pretty bloody cringe to me. This combined with a world/story that hasn't sold i...
"all new, car building focused, single player campaign" although "all new" is a funny way of saying going back to doing what they used to, it's still the words I wanted to hear
No Man's Sky is pretty good these days. If Starfield ends up being NMS but better combat, proper quests and characters that would actually be fantastic. I'd almost go as far as to say that's expecting WAY too much of this, at least I'm certainly not expecting that much haha. I hope it's good, but Bethesda have unfortunately disappointed me with basically everything after Skyrim so they've got a bit to prove now.
It took them nearly 5 years to accomplish that compared to a game that's just come out. Willing to bet a majority of those sales were heavily discounted too. Quantic Dream games were always heavily spruiked by Sony as exclusive graphical showpieces for the Playstation, so I'm sure that helped out too.
For reference the original Dead Space sold 2 Million over its lifetime, so some new IP from a new studio approaching that in its first year or so really isn't that...
Mate, they not falling, they fell. They fell, hit the ground hard, then kept digging.
With the crap Ubisoft keep releasing year-on-year I shudder to think what doesn't pass the test.
Maybe they couldn't figure out how to make a pirate ship climb a tower.
I mean, it's a solid enough concept. Pirates are cool, pirate games can be cool, the pirate stuff from AC4 was kinda cool. There was *some* hype for it. But that ship has sailed hasn't it?
I thought Kameo was great, I enjoyed it. It's a pretty short game too, doesn't outstay its welcome. It is very dated in a lot of ways but it's fun.
Graphics are dated for 360 given it was a launch title. It has that "previous generation but more HD" look that most generations have at launch, and any attempt at story is very aimed-at-children/cringe/PS2-i sh. But also there's not much of it. It's just some rather weak window dressing on a game t...
Probably good plan to start with Cyberpunk if you ask me, give them time to fix up the performance a bit with this one. The Witcher 3 is a 10/10 game IMO but I feel like rating the update as 10/10 is a bit of a stretch. They need to fix the ray-tracing performance hit a bit better so it doesn't hammer a couple of threads of the CPU while barely touching the rest. There also seems to be some sort of memory leak with RT as well. If you've a CPU with less than 5.5GHz or a GPU with less t...
You're not allowed to say anything positive about the Xbox Series S on N4G, it throws people into a blinding rage because they think their console is being held back by it somehow.
and don't start on The Lord of The Rings! Three books just to return a ring back to where it came from. Awful. Should have just had a fast travel option.
Don't forget; screwing over musicians too
