Just realised this a different ad to one I just saw.

Quite surprised by Project Athia being a 2 year timed exclusive. Don't normally see that long.

Not sure how co-ordinates for one game map gives you a comparable scale to a different game map. I'm not convinced this will be accurate. If CD Projekt say it's slightly smaller than the land mass of The Witcher 3 I don't see why they would lie or be wrong.

Edit: Having seen the comments to the video he has made an assumption that the co-ordinates convert 1:1 to a value in metres just because it gives a plausible result. Game engine figures could convert to any random real world distance.

Finally putting some quality time into Miles Morales. Really digging his repertoire of swinging moves and snowy NY. Hopefully I can get it finished at least story wise before Friday when it will be time to hit Night City.

check out the third reply to the tweet and who made it. It's not going to be one of those dev/concept videos.

They are going to add in the sword and shield in a later patch.

I did the opposite and used every bullet I had. I literally killed the final freaker with the last bullet remaining in both my weapons.

Can't vote yet as I'm doing a replay with the Spider-man Remaster before starting MM. Astrobot was really fun and an excellent demonstration of the Dualsense. I'm sure they all great but not sure which will be my favourite yet.

Some of the time I was just happy to make it to the end of the course regardless of time. Got them low enough for the 7 minute trophy and that will do me.

It seems the incident you watch from the car involves the chap from the teaser trailer years ago!

Looks fine. Although maybe they can get Jackie to actually turn the steering wheel when he turns a corner. Minor detail but sticks out.
Super excited to play it though, roll on Dec 10.

Time for an update patch switching to Zaltan Ibrohimabit and Gerald Ball.

I'm playing the remaster from scratch to check out the upgrades, get used to new Pete and refamiliarise myself with the story; So I'll be playing the whole thing regardless. But if I download my completed PS4 original save to my PS5 it will just pop all the trophies again and hand me another Plat? Seems cheeky but it's not a tricky platinum so I'll do it all again anyway.

Even though it's fake, it's surprising to me that a remaster of the first with the engine of the second isn't a reality. So much of the needed work is already there in the prequel and going by reactions to stuff like this it would sell well. Come on Rockstar

Flipping between the delightful Astrobot and Spider-Man remastered. I decided to replay that before starting Miles Morales to refresh my memory on the story and get used to the new Pete. Got to say there is lots of shiny flooring to show off the snazzy raytraced reflections. Also there are puddles everywhere.

Just kidding of course, sounds promising and a good match of studio to IP.

@LiamCroft It looks like the PS5 makes you more aware of it by displaying press options button (which I don't think PS4 does). But yeah press options while on your profile and you can choice offline/online but 'busy' is new.

You can do this on PS4. Done it many a time.

Killing time before some next-gen Spidey action next week with my slap-dash, sci-fi pick n' mix crew in Space Crew.

@carlos82 yeah the weather has made it a fun qualification session.

Looks like this 10-12 hour game will take me 30 hours because of this.

Yep and don't go back until the first of December. Booked it with Cyberpunk in mind (3rd hol it's missed) but thankfully the PS5 was the same date so it's still good.

You guys forget to tell each other what you're working on?

I'm wondering if God of War is progressing quicker than planned and HFW a little slower (maybe due to Guerrilla Games working on 2 titles) and we are heading to another TLOU2 and GoT situation of two titles being ready close together.

Is the remaster classed as a new game though, so you could plat it again if you got the PS4 one? Or would you just have the new trophies to go for?

@Crimson_Ridley I like the picture under that statement. I know it's only concept art but I dig the look, plus there's definitely a Salarian there.

@Auxiliarydex Well done. Unobservant me was me looking up by the progress symbols which lacked a platinum one (not sure why?) and failed to notice the big 'card' saying platinum not earned.

@Auxiliarydex there is a quick look at the trophies in this vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQE8nAYCBsA
and it doesn't look like it has one.

@Rob_230 Being EA I'm expecting just a resolution boost, at a stretch also fps. To be honest that would be enough for me to play it again but would love to see more done.

My excitement for this is directly proportional to the effort put into the port/remaster/remake.

That 100x combo doesn't sound simple to me. I don't remember going that high in the original.

@SoulChimera Well done on the Plat for the first one. That pesky drinking game prevented me from getting it.

Took a punt a while ago on Space Crew as it looked fun and a bit different. Enjoying so far and a got for £12 with Bomber Crew included so well worth the price. I've kept all my crew alive so far but just got into the high risk missions.

I decided not to watch. I'm at the point where I know I'm getting the game so would rather see it all fresh when I play. Don't mind reading about it though and we now know Peter is still around in the game. I'm guessing something is going to happen further in to the game to leave Miles to deal with stuff on his own.

@gamer_since_83 yeah I've pondered whether he has quit making games for good or after a break might decide to start all over and create another studio. It will also be interesting to see if his absence is noticeable in Rockstar's future games seeing the important role he played in them.

I'll get the novel (and quite possibly the artbook). I enjoyed the prequel novel for the first game and the extra background on their versions of the characters. Plus it was a very cool touch how the the final events of the book were literally the opening of the game.

@Bluetrain7 good point, Sony need to get this info out asap.

That stops Mark Cerny's 'secret sauce' from leaking out.

I'm interested to see what my playtime was for my first playthrough. It would be fun if it could tell you how long you spent in photomode.
I'll probably try out the new game + on the PS5.

Should find out tonight if my request for hol starting the 19th has been excepted. Ready to get lost in Night City.

This just shows me how often launch games fade into obscurity. Almost everything except the PS4 ones were guesses.

Apparently they've made more improvements since taking these shots too.

@nessisonett Sounds like it will make the animators job easier for the sequel too.

For all the people constantly asking why

Here it is in motion

The face is a bit of a shock but if it allows them to better portray Yuri's performance (which is great) I look forward to seeing it in motion. I think most of the other parts matched the voice actors already, except MJ. I wonder if they have made any changes to her face?

@Rob_230 @jsw-8 Agree, this studio certainly might be one to keep an eye on.
