Friend got in closed beta, so I watched more than enough yesterday. The size of map was rather disappointment. Only takes 5 minutes to fly over with planes from northeast point all the way to the bottom of island. Island itself is very narrow too. The gps showed 20km drive from top to bottom, but only 9km from left to right on the island. So it's a massively smaller map overall compared to previous The Crew games. There is a volcano on island too.
The mountain range going along the island in the middle of it takes a huge chunk of map. Makes sense, because it's an island, I guess. The urban area is located east shore with few villages, one being at the very top and one on the west, opposite of mountain range.
There is one 'bigger town' and few villages, also lots of mountains with limited roads.
However, there are 2 islands in the distance with like watch towers or so. Could be unlockable in the future?
The game resembles NFS heat a lot during the night, but overall car lightning is very very old gen. It does go for 60 fps tho, but don't maintain it very well in this build.
The car handling on his words was very arcade. But I think that was to be expected.
He didn't like it from 1.5 hour he was playing the game.
Also, despite he playing it on Xbox series s, knowing it probably is 1080p, the game doesn't look that good at day time. Night time is really shiny tho.
First person makes it so much better on the paper. I liked Helldivers, but it was super hard to play because the dumb distance to your group thing. Alienation done it so much better, but second game being first person hopefully will solve the first's problem that I had.
Happy about it being actual AC game, the rpgs were interesting at first, but I really lonly oved Origins. The odyssey and valhalla were much weaker and way longer and it just made it a massive time dump. Origins was the sweet spot for it. But I am happy to see it going back to roots.
Looking forward to this, but wondering how would the game perform. Destruction in game and physics calculations could really slowdown it. Hopefully it's well optimized for the system.
Why exactly do destiny 3 need to happen? It makes no sense. Why ditch project with thousands of men hours used to build it that has content beyond horizon for a new game that eventually will do exactly the same but with much less content and features?
@jimbouk he has a right for opinion. Why do you get offended by his take? I think mods should just lock comments, since it's apparent people can't discuss nicely without swearing on topics like these.
@Dalejrfanfreak I see your criticisms. They push their narratives and whole gay agenda excessively. Tho since it's a game I guess it's up for the player to decide what they want to do and what relationships they want to have in game.
In all, we should have choices of our own to decide what we want the characters be. If someone wants a gay character let them have it, if someone wants traditional relationships let them have it too. Why force just one narrative.
Sony would be better off to let it be as useful on PC as on console. If they stopped neglecting it's use on PC,the market would be so much more open for it. Especially since it's ahead of competition right now and for that price.
@TechGuyChris nothing is wrong with this part, I think people are looking at the wider picture tho. If games will start rewarding you nfts for your play time, it means they will become more pay to earn I guess.
I actually wish Sony had some sort of marketplace for items, sort of like Steam. I would be selling thousands of my gathered items from games. I sold over 7k items in few years on Steam and made quite a buck.
I wish there were slightly more references to the movies universe. However, the plot takes way before Harry's time, so it's understandable. I love the world, and atmosphere is brilliant. The enemies are a bit on a weak side, so and the world further than the main areas. It's amazing game tho. Really enjoying it and for now it's easily my game of the year.
I am still looking forward to that other football game that was suppose to come out in September. Whatever the name of it was. Also 2K is supposedly making another soccer game for FIFA, so interesting to see the the outcome.
2K was the one to kill EA's live series, so hopefully they will deliver on football gameplay too.

Re: PS Stars Adds Legendary BD-1 to Celebrate Star Wars Day

Re: UK Sales Charts: PS5 Makes Up 82% of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Physical Sales
It baffles my mind how they still can't provide physical and digital sales combined in 2023.

People are so divided over dying light 2. Personally I have yet to play it, but the negativity surrounding the title is what gets to me.

Re: Random: Monster Energy Thinks You Might Confuse Its Drinks with Monster Hunter
Monster energy is just one of the worst drinks you can get. I work at retail and to be fair, they don't sell as good as they think they do.

Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Targeting Potential 2024 Release
I'm all in. Switching PS4 to Pro was one of the best things that could have happened. No more dips below 30 and higher res.
If they do the same double the GPU power on Pro and increase CPU at least 50%. I am all day one baby
