I'm going to play through Bioshock 2 this weekend!
Not because of anything relating to lacking new quality games to play (I 110% disagree with that assertion), but because it's short, I found the Collection disc on sale, and it's the only Bioshock I haven't played yet.

I find it absolutely absurd to suggest that game quality is dipping. The discourse and discussion around gaming is what's losing quality. Look at the conversation around Eternal S...

As a player that'll be on PC, this right here.

I'd actually hope for Halo to come to PS and Nintendo at this point.

The community rejected a mictotransaction option so MCC is no longer maintained - no new revenue streams and Microsoft listened. Infinite is on Content Updates now instead of Seasons - dwindling playerbase and less excitement. If MS wants the franchise to thrive, that's free money and the same could essentially be said for Gears bringing them abroad.

That demo was incredible - preordered it today! Hoping they'll offer the digital deluxe edition as an upgrade for physical purchases.

Game is very fun, has clear inspirations yet feels unique, and performs pretty perfectly. Hits all the right marks for me.

He's done possibly the best job anyone could have in very specific contexts, but even then it's all asterisks.

1. Convincing Microsoft to spend $70bn after several other billions spent on studios for a platform in dead last
2. Convincing Microsoft to go all in on Game Pass offering these ever-more-expensive games for pennies on the dollar
3. Backwards Compatibility

Under his leadership, first party output quality and quantity hav...

It doesn't make sense that after the criticisms of the base game, especially with Aloy being obnoxiously chatty and puzzle-spoiley, they double downed on it in Burning Shores.

The final set piece should've been the coolest moment and mission of the franchise but it was the most irritating when Aloy and Seyka just would not shut up for any part of it. It's like Guerrilla thinks its players can't figure out even the simplest things on their own.

What are your CPU and the framerates you're getting?
That's been the real bottleneck. I've got a 4070 too, paired with a 5800X3D and a 1440p ultrawide display. I'd be fine too but I'm gonna wait a month or so before picking this up.

Haven't had the time to even play Rebirth yet...

Yep - that $20 shipping fee definitely pads the packaging and their wallets

Console players are screwed, so he's gonna buy from PC the one game they release every 5 years lol.

And he's totally gonna wait the year+ instead of just buying on PS5

How does an article like this even exist?

It's based on a rumor from a podcast. The actual relevant statement is only one sentence, without quoting the podcast. And it's also not accurate given the technical analyses done over the alleged specs of the PS5 Pro.

And developers need to code it in, your PS5 games won't just magically support PSSR

"For single-player games it’s not the same exigency [as Live Service]. But if you’re spending $250 million, you want to be able to sell it to as many people as possible, even if it’s just 10% more."

The most I ever see is a shorter window from PS to PC. I never see Sony releasing on Xbox or Nintendo, even for their GaaS titles.

We don't know how far along they got it - this trailer is likely faked to just demonstrate the vision of the game.
Bosses from the games, with different skins/colors
More friendly players are just AI NPCs
Spider Women could be concepts unused from the main games or intended for future DLC.

It'll certainly look good because it's a winning formula - but it's a winning formula that's based on only two full games, an expandalone, t...

If they went with a simpler aesthetic (something midway toward Jusant) they could've maybe hit 60fps more often

I haven't played yet - decided to start Armored Core VI instead, but the Special Edition came in and is awaiting install.

But I have been playing games, that have been multiplatform and open-world, since the 360 era. This developer comment makes no sense and seems insulting to the dev team actually.

I'm really surprised it sold far fewer copies than FFXVI. That was not on my bingo card for this year.

I would say that, at least, the UK selling 30% fewer than Remake did, physical only, might be a good sign considering user base + more digital players. But for Japan, compared to 16, this doesn't look good out the gate...

I wonder if those may come with the current-gen upgrades later in the year

FFXV was open world and released on the weak as heck Xbox One S day and date with everything else.

Ubisoft titles... Red Dead Redemption 2... Hogwarts Legacy... GTA V on the 360 and PS3.

No. Being exclusive isn't the reason it's a seamless map.

They sure are cocky with their presentation of this game.

Limited Fast Travel isn't bad, other games have boring worlds.
Uncapped Framerate, that hovers far below VRR range and has no option to toggle a locked 30, is communicated like it's a positive.
Only one character slot, to make you explore more, which makes almost no sense and is extremely limiting to those that want to try multiple builds (this isn't BOTW or TOTK, it's a full-on RPG)...

"If they were, we'd have 60fps with those visuals"

Ok, you're totally a game developer.

Franwex above is right - even though Series X can read 100GB movies, it doesn't for games.

I believe I heard that in a comment from a DF video
