I've been very excited about this for quite a while. I really thought it looked amazing. Now, with the latest gameplay footage, I've noticed some stuff I'm not too happy about. I thought it looked a bit like mad max, which is a gorgeous game. But this new footage is a bit less convincing. I noticed bland textures, very harsh pop in and such. If this game ends up looking anything like Just Cause 4 instead of Mad Max, I'm out. Guess I'll just have to wait for Digital Foundry to enlighten me. I can deal with 1080p on pro, if they have have a great looking game on their hands, with some real impressive post processing. But if it's another 720p looking show like jc4...well... count me out
Everything is winding down in preparation of the next gen. It's the early phase of the calm before the storm. Nobody's too keen on revealing anything that's ment to be played on machines that haven't even been revealed yet.
I was about to state how ugly it is...but...I kinda like it. Like hippie toothpaste and a fancy hospital in Austria. No...german cop car! Really! Try and google "polizeiauto 1990". Oddly pleasing, that one
@get2sammyb Assassins Creed Origins has had HDR since release. Clearly visible when capturing gameplay. Ubisoft are masters of tone mapping, so it can be hard to tell. But the oversatureated reds in gameplay capture is a clear indication in most cases. This is clearly visible in most games with solid HDR implementation. Origins and Horizon are good examples of this. Also the PS4 will state that colours might look wrong whenever you save a gameplay video
People keep saying "Avalanche - known for Just Cause", but isn't this the actual swedish office, who made Mad Max? (Just Cause is made by the New York branch)
Ghost recon wildlands! Phenomenal draw distance. And the bumped res helps it a lot too. And Far Cry 5 is a really good looking game as well. I think it runs at 1600p
I see it more as DLC of sorts 😶 I love Far Cry 5, and this gives more stuff to do, and a bit of fresh paint to go along. The expeditions are an entertaining addition as well. Reminds me of Wildlands. I really enjoy it, mostly because it's a good excuse to, in a sense, play more Far Cry 5
It's still a bit abstract. I mean, is it 40 hours instead of 100? Or 15 instead of 50? I would love at least a frame of reference, like comparing it to other titles
2018 has been an incredible year! I personally love open world games, and this year gave me some of the best I've ever played. Far Cry 5 is a gorgeous world and Red Dead 2 is simply a phenomenal achievement on so many different levels. I haven't even gotten around to Spider Man yet, but that is one handsome game too. Now I just need Avalanche to patch Just Cause 4 on console so I can give that one a go too. GREAT time to be a gamer. And 2019 already looks like an incredibly exiting year as well...
Of course it's a PS5 tease. If it was to celebrate the PS4s 5th birthday, they'd be much more direct. It would say stuff like "happy 5th birthday to PS4" or something like that. Make special birthday deals and what's not. This is not a coincidence. This is a proper tease.
@GamerDad66 Well. That's a shame. HDR looks fantastic in Shadow, and it runs great on pro. And keep in mind, the publisher might be the same, but the dev is not.
Funny. I just bought a PS3 a week ago, just so I could play Red Dead before 2 comes out. I just picked up Call of Juarez: bound in blood at a yard sale this Sunday...
I get a feeling that the changes happened deep down. I think it might be in preparation for something big. Maybe implementation of some "secret sauce", like maybe a new low level API or something? Any pro owners out there who felt a change to UI speed or anything?
Sometimes I wish I was banned from ever buying another game (except for red dead, Days Gone, cyberpunk, Metroid Prime 4, Bayonetta 3, dpwtba, gptezhav, vlfrewosj.....bla bla bla) Just so I was forced to finish my 100+ back log of shame ...

Re: Borderlands: The Handsome Collection Polished for PS4 Pro with Free Update
@SKC_Diamond
I don't think they would bother with checkerboard.
It'll probably be 1440p

That's not a given. Many games are unplayable without patches.

Re: This PS4 Synthwave Dynamic Theme Bundle Is Pretty Darn Cool
that's lame. But, I don't get it! There are plenty of dynamic themes on the EU store that has nothing to do with games?
Re: Poll: Arthur Morgan vs. John Marston - Who's the Better Red Dead Redemption Lead?
I love Arthur. All of his internal struggles, and his rusty voice and grandpa attitude. And the trio to the saloon with Lenny. Best moment ever! 😅
Re: Free Red Dead Redemption 2 PS4 Theme in PS Store
I still think Firewatch and Neon Drive have the best dynamic themes
