I'm still on the fence. My computer runs the game with everything on High and at 60 fps, but the comfort of playing on the couch in the big screen is something else. The game looked horrible on the PS5 thought, I hope they release a demo before release.
I guess....?! I was overjoyed that we were finally getting a 30 year old as a protagonist for a Final Fantasy (older Noctis was cool as well). I don't know, I'm really tired of the highschool setting, at least make it college since people are bit more grown up. The highschoolers from japanese settings are often shown as looking and having the mental maturity of 20 year olds anyway.
A friendly reminder for those hoping for 60 fps on PS5 that the game required frame generation just to run at 60 fps 1080p on PC. It will run like ***** on consoles unfortunately, which bums me out, I'm torn between getting a physical copy or play it on Steam.
I mean, great I guess. It's just another social media filled with different kinds of crazies, just like Twitter. The first post I saw when I created an account was a call to boycott GoodReads and join a new platform for the sole merit of being created by and african-american woman. On Twitter I get OF bots and unrelated comments on every post. They both suck in their own way.
@evan23 Once again, I can download those games right now to my PC and keep them in a disk forever or until the disk dies, with no issue whatsoever. So preservation is not the right angle to go at this, these games are not in a server that you need to access, the account is just an authentication thing.
@evan23 Those games won't go away, since you have the PS4/5 versions with the disk AND you can find pirated versions without the account requirements for PC anyway. If you're talking about games like Diablo IV though, games that you need servers to play, that's a whole different story, but the single-player PS games ain't it.
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.

The trailer was really interesting, I like when we get games with comedy, and the schtick between Aaron and Laura was cute.
