"everyone working on Battlefield 6 seems to have been given a player-first mandate"

Well what a effing good idea!

@AndyKazama
Both of them!

A Photography simulator...., yes that's it, it's a photography simulator.

That's what I'll tell the misses if she catches me 'playing' it.

It's simple, MS will just end up buying SONY.

Well the next ultimate thing would be for Nier Automata to receive a PS5 pro patch that allows you to play as EVE.

Best news of the day!

I remember how heavy the base PS3 felt, it was a whopper!!!

I wish Sony would sell spares for the PSVR2. My car chewed the wire while I was playing a while ago, and although I have it all taped up again it still drops connection when my movements get too excited.

The connection wire can be removed and is separate, it's just got a proprietary connection to the headset that I can't find anywhere.

Finally beat last boss last night, now to enter Ng+ to get platinum!

Excellent game, might well be beating out Stellar Blade as my personal GOTY (sorry Eve).

Performance issues on base PS5, I saw very little of it, a couple of areas were slightly slow when looking but I always found the combat fine.
(Purple Cloud) Mountains out of molehills.

Would love it if all the arcade games from Yakuza series (and more) got wrapped up in a SEGA history package.

Hmmm, a bunch of workers who are to be redundant go on strike to try to prevent the redundancies??!!

I've got a feeling that plan isn't going to work out!

Well this quote from 'The Verge' has just about sealed it for me.
I'm 3m from my 55'' LG OLED.

'Find your favorite seat in front of the TV, then measure the distance between your head and the screen. Now measure your screen diagonally. Do you own a 65-inch or 55-inch TV, the most popular sizes? Do you sit 10 feet away or more? Then no, the PS5 Pro is probably not worth $700. Not even if you have 20/20 vision like me. The improved visual fidelity just isn’t tangible enough at that distance.'

@UnlimitedSevens
You mean the PS7 Pro.

@trev666
I was going to wait for the PS6, but after reading this story I think I'll just hold on a bit longer for the inevitable PS6 Pro instead.

Is quick-scoping still a thing?

"we need to make sure that we come with an impeccable player experience on day one"

Smirks.

@Czar_Khastik @Kidfunkadelic83
Slack Ops!!!

Still Wakes the Deep is excellent.

The perfect subscriber!!!

Dead or Alive - Venus Vacation Prism looks much more cosy to me!

I was reading on a rival website that the actor playing Kiryu has actually never played any of the Yakuza games.

It was doomed from the start!

Great game, Johnson is hilarious!!

Surely they haven't run out of games to port already?!!?!

In game items to purchase in this latest edition include a chocolate teapot and a comb for a bald man.

I can forsee a day when they offer (much like Netflix and Disney plus) 'resolution' levels, where basic is 1080p and premium is 4k for £20 more.

Keep squeezing that udder!!

Thanks for all your responses, however I messed up.
I have an LG C8 55, bought in 2019, which has only hdmi 2.0a.

Don't know why I put C4, dreaming about it I guess....

Quick question re PS5 pro.
I quite fancy it but am not sure if it's going to be worth it as my TV is an LG OLED C4 55 inch.
Sadly it only has HDMI 2.0 so can't do VRR 120fps for example.
My sofa is 3 meters from the (55 inch) screen?

Will I see any differences or will it be really the same realistically as usual performance mode (for those games that don't chug)?

Keith David??

As in Keith David from 'The Thing' & 'They Live'...?

Well that's an excellent choice IMHO. RIP Lance Reddick.

@Balosi
yep, unfortunately commuting is all part of going to the office, it takes time, can be stressful and also you have to pay for it yourself. However that's all accepted as part of the social contract.

If Ubisoft promised in the contract that staff could WFH whenever they liked and then changed the rules to mandate 3 days a week then I would agree.
However I suspect there would be no contractual promise made and those who live long distance from the office were probably warned on hire to expect to be in the office at some point in the future.

Lastly, I highly doubt the majority of the workers live so far away from the office that they cannot get in, my longest commute was 2 hours each way which was painful and I would not like to do it again. I did it though and I didn't go on strike about it (although it was the main driver for me to look for work elsewhere after a couple of years).

Wow, imagine having to go to an office to work, for 3 days a week!!!

I remember the old days of having to go in 5 DAYS A WEEK!!!!
Let that sink in for a moment.

@Mikey856

Supersampling is a little better then megasampling, but not as good as ultrasampling.

Such a cool anime, really done well!

Also loved the use of Franz Ferdinand for the theme (and also loved the end credits theme too).

Damn, I think I might watch it again now!

Time to 'dive' back in!!!

Well I've thoroughly enjoyed the most
1. Stellar Blade
2. Helldivers 2
3. Still Wakes the Deep
4. Currently just starting chapter 4 of Black Myth Wukong.
(5. Astrobot is currently top of my pile of shame).

A pretty good year again!

Well 6/10. which is still a good score!

Coorrr, imagine milking Lara Croft.....!!

Bitty!!

One day, sex dolls will be as commonplace as smartphones are today, mark my words!!!

Well at least we know what he does all day now.

I first played Tetris on the C64, and it was sublime.

I was also a huge fan of the Atari/ Tengen arcade version too.

However, Tetris Effect is the best version for me by a long way. That is all!

@C25CLOUD
indeed, however I think unless you sit pretty close (<1m) to a 65'' 4K TV, you won't see the uptick in resolution that the pro brings at 60fps.

@ThorsHammer
Whooooaaa!!!
Yes indeed, I hadn't heard that rumour but it certainly holds more water now after the sequel announcement.

Keeping all appendages crossed!!

How about a crossover with EVE making a holiday appearance?

Can't believe the PS5 Pro is almost double the PS5 RRP.

Really stings, currently on the side of waiting for PS6 (although of course I would like a PS5 pro).

Best news of the day!!!!

How about a PS5 60fps patch or even (the Holy Grail) a PSVR2 port of Alien: Isolation please?

Bit late isn't it?

@LavenderShroud
Ah I see, well I've played both of those before (a fair few years ago to be sure) and never heard of them being described as 'cosy' so I guess it's a new label.

WTF is a 'cosy' game?

"Let them eat cake!"

We are the angry mob
We read the papers everyday
We like who we like, we hate who we hate
But we're also easily swayed

So what happened to the supposed Days Gone PS5 version?

Gravity Rush 2 is the other missing remaster.
