Loved the beta. I was already sold on the game because I'm a MonHun nut, but I was on the fence if I was going to buy it on PS5 since they released the PC specs. I knew it that it wasn't going to run well, but I never knew it would be this bad. That on top of the 9€ per month if you want to play online are kinda pushing me to buy the game on Steam, even though I prefer to play on the couch.
They prioritize PC development over consoles just like in Dragons Dogma 2. The fact that you need Nvidia frame generation to run this thing at 60 fps with medium quality was a dead giveaway that it wouldn't run well on consoles. I'm pretty sure they said not even the PS Pro version will be 60 fps, but I'll need to find the source.
@Drago201 New monsters. Its all about that. They can go months just showing a new 10 minute hunt with a new monster (they've done this in the past). MonHun fans (myself included) will gobble them all.
Keeps getting better and better. Devora Wilde (Laezel in BG3) also confirmed to be part of the cast, seems they got a lot of talent from BG3. I hope people really support this game, since it will also be in Gamepass I'm afraid the sales will be light.
Thank *****! @Khayl Adam out here doing god's work!! I wasn't going to get the game because I was going to wait until a comprehensive game was out. It's something that I really dislike in games is having limited time/chances to do things, even though I do love Persona, I've played all the games with a guide to do as much as possible on my first run.
I tried to get one so that I could flip it at a higher price, but didn't get the correct hours to go to the site, it's a shame. Maybe if I sold one for 2000€ I could buy a regular PS pro.
@jrt87 Its what one can gather from what they wrote on the blog post, but Tom Warren said the pre-orders for AC Shadows where high (take it with a grain of salt as Tom is fairly often wrong).
@Ainu20 There are details. Sorry for the long post.
Listening to players' feedback, and as an illustration of our player-centric approach, the following important decisions relative to Assassin's Creed Shadows have been taken:
Assassin's Creed Shadows will now be released on 14 February 2025. While the game is feature complete, the learnings from the Star Wars Outlaws release led us to provide additional time to further polish the title. This will enable the biggest entry in the franchise to fully deliver on its ambition, notably by fulfilling the promise of our dual protagonist adventure, with Naoe and Yasuke bringing two very different gameplay styles.
We are departing from the traditional Season Pass model. All players will be able to enjoy the game at the same time on February 14 and those who preorder the game will be granted the first expansion for free.
The game will mark the return of our new releases on Steam Day 1.
@PloverNutter @nessisonett Not just the gamers, you have publications and even parties discussing this in Japan at the moment. Granted their not the most popular groups, but they're still pissed about it.
I know it's a satire site, but it feel just like an extremely petty personal attack instead of, you know, a joke, but I guess this is how adults behave nowadays on social media.
Something I've noticed from "games media" in the US is that people are misarable sad sacs of snarkyness. It's gotta suck going through life jaded like that. 80% or more of all gaming IPs are dead, Sony or otherwise.
I'm not the biggest fan of SW, I like a few of the movies, but it was never something that I would go crazy for. I was going to buy the game but after the reviews I decided to buy it when it's 20€ or something.
@get2sammyb I see, thanks. I thought that in March we had info that the other director had been working on the game for 9 months, hence why I thought he had left more than 1 year ago.
@MrMagic Yeah those are basically just the characteristics of the studio, but they didn't aquire the IP. Lets hope that they will, in the future. But with their other survival horror IP having bombed that hard, don't know if they're keen to invest in it soon. It's a shame though, TEW is by far my favorite game from Tango.
@get2sammyb That's just how the subway signs are in Tokyo. Still I'm amazed Sony allows for this to happen, it's clearly made to confuse people and get some sales of of that.
In Inquisition you couldn' be evil either, nor use blood magic, you were basically roleplaying a savior, so even though I'm kinda skeptical of Veilguard due to other reasons, this isn't new to DA games.

Re: Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Charms with First Gameplay Trailer, Release Split into Two Parts
I honestly thought they were done with episodic games. No physical release for this one?
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Gamescom Opening Night Live 2024?
Can't wait to see the doom and gloom brigade telling it was *****.
Anyway it was solid, lots of release dates for stuff we knew it was coming, some cool smaller games, a couple of surprises.

That's Kenjiro Tsuda's sillouete. Pretty sure Kojima shared some pics with him awhile ago. He's a very prolific VA in Japan.

Re: 'We're Back, Baby,' Exclaims Acclaimed Tango Gameworks Director

It's a shame though, TEW is by far my favorite game from Tango.
Re: 'We're Back, Baby,' Exclaims Acclaimed Tango Gameworks Director
@get2sammyb There's none. Their press release mentions that Tango developed those games but not that they aquired them, only Hi-Fi Rush.

Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Won't Let You Control Companion Characters
@Lup Are you sure mate? I was pretty certain that in DA:I I didn't control my party, I had a small AI system like gambits from FF12.
edit: Seems like you were right and I was wrong. I swear I didn't control anyone else in DA:I just gave them suggestions on where to attack.
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Won't Let You Control Companion Characters
Why are people surprised at this? It's exactly like DA2 and DA:I
