@Max_the_German yeah, exactly. Even though both games look stunning, the quests in the first one was teadious at best. And the talks... oh my. I platinumed the first, and I enjoyed the visuals, but the rest was tedious stuff. I truly hope Guerilla made everything more enjoyable for the second one.
@OMG_Waffles I think maybe the steep price point on games for the PS5 is harming sales. I've had my PS5 for 2 months now and still haven't bought a PS5 game since all are so pricey. I just play my cross gen versions on my PS5, of other games bought last year for my PS4.
@stefan771 Yes I am aware.
But this has nothing to do with the fact that R* isn't sharing any info regarding something which is actually news, in three years. I don't need them to "show" anything, but to at least communicate. Hell, have you read the articles regarding the new Remastered GTA Trilogy?
This company used to be experts in hype of their new titles (look back at GTA IV). You know well what I mean any many others on this site. No point in twisting this around i favour of R*.
@stefan771 are you aware that R* has studios all over the globe, and for comparison Santa Monica Studio released GoW in 2018 but we all know Ragnarok is on the way and we have known for some time now? There isn't and hasn't been very much news on the R* front for years now, other than remasters and GTA Online...
Hopefully R* is working on 'something' new, but to keep the customers in complete darkness and "remaster-ness" for so long, doesn't look good.
@torne "Dear Sammy... maybe you should write for pure xbox instead" Are you serious? That's just stupid. What do you even know about this site and the writers ...?
Too similar to what came before it, and so large it would eat up my life if I started to invest time in this. Oh, and I've just recently got my hands on the ps5 and to be fair, I don't think the character models in this video is doing it any favours ...
I was finally able to order a PS5 last week and will get it delivered today. I'm so happy now
Regarding versions; I seem to remember the PS4 got a new wifi antenna installed in the new version just months after release. I for one had to return my first ps4 with the glossy launch flap, because the wifi signal was extremely weak and jumped up and down and leaving the console useless without a cable. I got the matte plastic one when switching (this was all back in october 2014 almost a year after launch) and the wifi signal was and has always been, 100% after that.
It’s all silly. This console is nowhere to be found in my region. I hope it soon will be possible to find it in physical stores and not just on online «lottery outlets» as it is here in Norway😐
Taylor Kurosaki, who left ND for Infinityward about 7 years ago, has now left IW. He didn`t say where he’ll go to pursue a great offer. But two days ago he tweeted «same thing, different decade» and enclosed a picture from a ND sound stage where they did motion cap for UC3. I believe he was involved in that title, so could this be a hint to that he moved back to ND and is actually working with the UC universe?
@get2sammyb Im betting there will be flying mounts both on ps4 and 5. I trust Guerilla will pull this off. Just like R* who in the past have created fantastic routines and compression of data to pull off the rediculous amount of stuff in GTA5 back on the PS3 and forward. Its challenges like this which drives the devs to excel.
Won't be able to purchase the damn PS5 until 2022 at the earliest, so I don't give a d*mn. But R* ain't the game makers the used to be, as in they don't make new games anymore ... :-/
@Chief_Forasteiro the gun play in RDR2 is mostly sh*t, although a little better than previos R* titles. R* should absolutely improve on this, but hey, they stopped making news games so ...
@jmac1686 So, could you elaborate som more, please? (I'm not being rude here but genuinely interested), how does this game run on Xbox or PC? By this I mean; how good is the AI compared to others games such as GTA5 and RDR2? Is the spawning of the police better than described in the article here etc.? I mean, for a game of this scale, in 2021, one would and should think(at least when used to playing the mentioned games) that it at least is on par with the PS3 version of GTA5 from 2013? But it doesn't sound like it to me...
@get2sammyb I've had hard times getting new launch console systems in the past, such as both PS3 and PS4, but the current one is actually worrying me to the point that I start wondering if I will be able to play the next COD which probably will be released come November? I mean, if I'm still just stuck with my PS4, and thousands of others like me, and being unable to purchase and play the next COD, this will affect the sales I presume? Or do you know if Activision and other companies are due to ship new games for both platforms through this year?
I mostly replay if trophies or platnium requiers it. Or sometimes nostalgia and this combined with great gunplay and action like the uncharted series. Oh and also if it’s great games as mentioned and they’re being remastered.
@get2sammyb Another weird thing is MP only trophies such as Fortnite, where I can’t get the trophies since they’re tied to chapter 1 I think. I didn’t play much of chapter 1 and lost the opportunity I guess :-/
@Arugula I'm still working on my playthrough. Not enjoying it that much. It all gets boring and very samey after a while. The side quests are all too alike, dull and interrupt constantly. The endless stream of fights is becoming routine and a pain in the butt after the first few hundred of them or so. And the story is plain simple and non interesting/ existing.
@Quintumply Probably too much to expect; but is it possible to get any information regarding other regions than UK or US? I believe there is quite a few readers on this site not living in named regions ... me included. And in my region, Scandinavia, there is not as much as a hint of news regarding the PS5 like, anywhere. It's a non existing product.
How about trying to get some info from Sony, what is actually going on? I know for example that there is a global problem with producing enough components which also affects the PC delivery to private business firms around the globe. And not just in the gaming industry.
@Hyperluminal well, the Sensibel games on C64 is just as special. Wizball is one of the greatest C64 games ever. Thay also made that 'Shoot'em up construction set kit' on the C64! A program for creating your own shootem'ups on the C64, it's mind blowing what they achieved.
But of course 'Cannon Fodder' 1 and 2 on the Amiga is unparalleled. I spoke to Jon Hare about a possible Cannon Fodder 3D back in 2002. He had plans, but sadly it hasn't happened.
But nowadays he is back with 'Sociable Soccer' on several platforms.
@hypnotoad I follow Braybrook on Twitter and he actually made a shooter on PC (unpublished) a couple of years ago. "Astierods" I think it was called. A lot of cool stuff (actually more cool stuff now than ever) happening on the C64 stage.
@nessisonett I disliked the first one to be honest. Also seeing the hairdo on the Aloy underwater in the 2nd one, just too weird. I know it`s knit picking but I`m knit picky I guess😊
