@Arnna only thing that’s cringeworthy is you not understanding how to read.
last I checked execs weren’t the ones who made the games, and just a few days ago you’d have seen me saying the people who made this game (the devs btw if you didn’t know) shouldn’t be sacked and how I felt sympathy for them.
The reveal is imminent but this is just the usual stuff, even if it was a normal PS5 Dev Kit it would be covered up, that’s just how Sony roll with that kinda stuff.
I am a vocal critic of this game, but my heart does go out to the devs, they’ve really tried the best they could with a failing formula that they wouldn’t have known all those years ago would quickly become so stale and unliked by many in the community.
If heads do roll (which they should), it should be execs only, but sadly I think we both know that’ll never happen, hoping the dev team has a great support network around them and they aren’t punished too harshly as a result of this disaster.
Great news, this is one of the most soulless wastes of money in gaming, and if it even slightly succeeded, we'd have seen the unfortunate knock on effect for generations to come, need to keep sending the message to Sony that we won't be buying these kind of cash grabs, 8 years and 300m spent on a generic clone of a genre that already passed it's peak 3 years ago, an absolute disaster and all executives (not the ground level devs!) should be held accountable.
We all know it’ll be compatible with the disc drive extension, that’s not what I’m annoyed about, it’s how this console will likely cost £550 with now an expensive disc drive add on needed.
It’s just another way from Sony to squeeze more blood from your wallets, it’s an absolute joke.
Would’ve been decent if free to play, but for £35/40 it’s a robbery.
The presentation is nice and a lot of love has been put into it, but it suffers from being a very stale genre of game, Sony should’ve put the £300m into a multiplayer game that people actually wanted like SOCOM.
Game will be great on sale but £55 for a boss rush simulator (albeit a pretty one) is a little too steep for me with all the games releasing this month/next month.
I’m just glad the studio wasn’t instantly killed off after The Callisto Protocol, would happily take a sequel if they work on the combat and bring some actual proper firearm action ala Dead Space.
But for now if this is fairly priced and reviews decent enough I’ll pick it up to support the studio, good group of people who didn’t deserve the crunch/post launch treatment thrown at them.
@Nf157 depends on the kind of game, games like MH where you need your reactions I can see why people care a lot.
And also it wholly depends on how the 30fps mode is paced, I’ve played some 30fps modes that feel great for what they are, and I’ve also played some that are awful in terms of their latency and frame pacing.
@Nem I’m not a Capcom defender, I’m simply saying wait for the game to actually release, which could be 8 months away for all we know with the vague 2025 window, and like I said, if the game has a poor frame rate, then vote with your wallet and don’t buy it.
I did this with Dragon’s Dogma 2, waited to see the frame rate on launch, saw the reports and have steered clear till they’re fixed properly, I’ll probably pick up the game when it’s DLC launches, and I’ll do the same for MH Wilds when it comes to waiting till launch and then voting with my wallet once I see the performance at launch.
Can’t really definitively say anything on this when the game is still over half a year out at least, people are making a mountain out of a molehill.
Wait for the game to actually release, if you don’t preorder games before seeing how they actually run this won’t be an issue, if the performance isn’t any better at launch you can just vote with your wallet.
@KillerBoy the visuals are great, the slight differences to how characters look aren’t egregious for me and in some cases I feel they look better than the OG (Eddie, Angela)
The way they’ve expanded upon the atmosphere while retaining the OG feel looks great too.
The only negative is animations look very very janky, but Bloober aren’t a AAA studio, this is probably their first ever AAA title so I can forgive some rust in certain areas.
I’ve been telling people to invest in this game for months, if this game ends up being awful then clown on me all you want PushSquarians, but I really think we’re going to get a great game here.
How hard can it be to mess up such an easy lay up? Right? Right???
Not judging those who enjoy the game, but how do you get excited for the millionth skin for purchase? Doesn't the novelty wear off? It's the same old tired BR formula with just (insert pop culture/known IP here).
Already preordered the steelbook edition, after waiting this long for anything Silent Hill related I’m more than happy to give it a chance, let alone with myself being a fan of Observer (made by Bloober)
@nessisonett I try to think about it in a positive light, but I can't help but fear layoffs will soon follow, I hope they get another chance to work on something truly unique though as there are elements within Concord which are good.

I cannot wait for this, everything I read about this game just gets better and better, and I say this as a diehard fan of the OG game!
Re: Round Up: Star Wars Outlaws PS5 Reviews Are Hit and Miss
Sounds like what I expected, an Ubisoft open world in the SW universe, and that’s good enough for me!
I was one of the only people who enjoyed Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora aside from it’s awful story, so I think I’ll enjoy this one too,
Pre-Ordered the physical launch edition 🫡

Re: Black Myth: Wukong Is Eating Your Inputs on PS5, and It's a Problem with Performance Mode
@WhiteRabbit hmm maybe it’s just the streams I watched then, didn’t seem too much to break up the time inbetween boss encounters

Re: Redacted Is a PS5 Roguelike Dungeon Crawler Set in The Callisto Protocol's Black Iron Prison

Re: People Are Already Freaking Out Over Monster Hunter Wilds' PS5 Frame Rate
As long as it launches with a 40fps mode then all is good, with my 120hz LG C2, that’ll feel more than fine.

This kinda stuff doesn’t affect the game and if it does for you, then a mirror might be needed.
Re: Movie Review: Borderlands - As Bland As the Brand It's Based On
Where's the no, I just don't care about bad films option?
I love Borderlands, even 3 (gameplay wise that is) but this film looked dreadful from the very start.
Maybe if it's laughably bad I'd get friends and drinks to laugh at it with but it seems it isn't even that, like you said, just awfully bland.
