@Frmknst It's okay that you don't know what refresh rates are on different panels; not everyone does. DG2 as of now is not just 30fps, it's herky jerky 30fps; even the motion blur does little to dampen this. Capcom says patches are on the way apparently.

Probably mature for its "gambling themes' as apposed to say, blowing off limbs.

@GeeEssEff It'll be Pilfer (with Plunder being the enhanced version). Only thing is to steal you have to knock them down.

I had a bad feeling that this release was gonna come with a heavy catch. Glad I held off. TBH it's worth diving back into DICE's BF II instead.

Stun grenade? That's cute, but i'd rather just blow them up!

@Ravix I've seen this a lot too. It's amazing, isn't it, how people are taking a game which revels in pure fun, and somehow making it into a grind fest. And for what? To get to level 50? Okay great, then what. Like, people are ACTIVELY removing as much player input as possible just to watch numbers go up. Beggars belief!

I'm still surprised to see the RE engine struggle like this; especially when, as others have noted, it doesn't look like it's exactly pushing the PS5 to its limits; what with Forbidden West etc being able to run very smoothly.

Unbound is actually really great. Brings back the feeling of Burnout and is the best NFS since Rivals easily; it's a lot of fun.

@UltimateOtaku91 Yeah the super credits are basically like CoD points - you can buy them with real cash, earn them in the free warbond, or find them scattered on the maps. Think you need 1000 supercreds to purchase the premium bond. I have 400 already without spending money so it's doable.

@BloodyBlact Agreed. It's as if almost they spent so much time focusing on expanding the game's ambition and scope, they forgot the fundamentals of visual fidelity. Based on this demo I think that FF16 is much stronger visually (better animation, higher level of detail on its characters, higher resolution). I'm just bummed out that it looks like this as it's otherwise a fantastic looking game.

@KundaliniRising333 Yep, it is absolutely on par with Remake: everything from character model detail and animation to environmental detail; it's a one to one copy. Though I will say the environments themselves are greatly expanded.

I'm a little surprised no one in official previews have put aside their gushing to mention these points.

@KundaliniRising333 Not really, no. The bump in res feels like it’s going from 1080p to 1440p but my complaints with muddy textures still remain. This is feeling like the PS4 remake all over again; yet this is worse because we’re working with a full blown native current gen game, even though technically it’s still the PS4 original as its template. Such a shame because the art design is wonderful.

You’ll seen when you fire it up; felt like I suddenly needed glasses!

I wouldn't be surprised if this was just a lame excuse to re-use Warzone assets and not have to create bespoke levels. They're probably thinking that people don't really care that much about the quality of the campaign anymore - and this was already very apparent in MW3.

Is it just me or is this game (the demo at least) kinda ugly looking? I mean on a technical level - I'm on performance mode and much of the texture work looks muddy and unfinished, and, again, it might just be me, but the resolution looks to be about 1080p; the overall image is REALLY soft and smudgy.

Hoping this isn't an issue in the full release.

Hard pass for me - sorry if I sound like an FPS snob, but the RE engine has had NO trouble running all its titles at 60fps (and beyond) so far; I haven't played a sub 60fps game since the PS4 days and I'm loving it.

This is of course, just.a rumour, I'm remaining hopeful it's not true. Hell if Forbidden West can do it, I'm sure a game with graphics half as good can.

I made the grave mistake of picking this up thinking it'd be a janky, yet fun little AA oddity. Turned out to be one of the worst games I played last year. No amount of belated updates will make the gameplay in this remotely enjoyable.

@Juvenlast I'm sure there's technically a campaign that you can finish with bots (as long as they're smart enough). As for length if it's anything like the original game then you're looking at 10 - 20 min rounds, depending on mission type and difficulty.

Shame it's the grubby 2K that has to be the ones to put Tennis back on the map. C'mon SEGA.... give us Virtua Tennis 5 you cowards!

@Grimwood Dude, just no. Deep Rock Galactic is one of the best games on PS5; never gets boring. Maybe you just need some friends to play with

If this is even half as good, it'll be a blast.

Oh wow. Controls that are in line with Legend and Underworld just put this baby on my radar. I'm super curious as to how that might not "break" the originals' grid based structure. But i'm all for abandoning that agonising game design. Haven't touched these games since I was a whipper back in the '90s so I might actually (swan) dive in.

I just cannot wait to stretch my legs and really explore this time. The aspect I disliked about Remake the most was the utterly vapid sections of corridors, switches, ladders, lowering and raising things (moving those robot hand things was the worst), that really sucked the joy out of the game for me.

This looks very much the opposite!

@KoopaTheGamer Exactly my thoughts - aren't LR games some kind of scam? I remember watching some videos on YT about how awful they are to their customers; not to mention super shady.

Hope these get digital releases.

Lol 86% on OpenCritic; and people were like... nah this looks bad. Give me a solid metroidvania over open world slop any day!

@Kidfunkadelic83 Ah you know what, the video I watched was from 6(!) years ago haha. So maybe I've gotten used to PS5 visuals since then and seeing this now perhaps feels a little underwhelming. It still does look like a blast to play though; so definitely one to keep an eye on.

@Aria_Kharabi Except in this one, you don't play as the Prince himself, but his loyal bodyguard. And it still takes place in a Middle Eastern setting. So not sure where you got Africa from.

I'm glad we're getting a demo; wanna see how this feels at 120fps before I decide on a purchase. More demos please!

Wait have the graphics changed? I remember seeing that first reveal a while back and being blown away by it; now it kinda just looks like another Tales game. Weird.

@JeongersGaming I'd love to see another game in that world, definitely; but a spin-off, like another Rising or something with an insane OTT character. But as for the main entries - they should be left well alone. The story is pretty much all wrapped up as it is.

@UpperEchelon84 I mean, yeah it does but, so what? Not everything has to look like Cyberpunk; they're probably using this game to test the waters. PoP isn't the franchise it used to be in terms of popularity. It's a polished looking Metroidvania and is as close to the original game as you're gonna get.

If this goes down well, maybe we'll get a fully-fledged AAA PoP game in the near future. Also it's only £35!

I think Lucia will be a brilliant protagonist. And a big F-U to anyone who thinks that by having a vagina, it means she'll be any less of a character. I quite like that, going by the trailer at least, she's playing it straight - which means that the cast of supporting characters surrounding her will come across as more deranged. Can't wait.

@Mad001 OK... but what does any of that have to do with Prince of Persia? I don't mean to be mean, but you'd do well to stay off the internet for a while. The likes of Critical Drinker, Nerdtronic, and their ilk, drum up outrage - where most people with a working brain don't care - for clicks.

Let's just focus on the gameplay of this.. y'know... game. Which looks rad. And to get back on topic, 120fps is great news; more games (that aren't total graphic hogs) should aim to achieve this!

RE5 could be great, but it would need A LOT of work; like, a complete redesign. Keep online co-op, sure, but ditch the AI partner for solo. Also basically re-write the story so it's less stupid, and reintroduce more horror.

RE6 on the other hand.... best just leave that be.

Trust in Capcom to always open the new year with a banger. From the footage I've seen, I'm still not 100% convinced it's going to be much more than a reskin of the first game (which is no bad thing). But I hope Capcom bring their A-game to this and that it's not another Exoprimal.

@DETfaninATL Not sure why you're trying so hard to defend this game, I mean, it is Acti after all; they're kind of indefensible right now. People aren't hating cause they're haters; they're rightfully calling out the BS premium release that this game is. Even the fanbase is let down.

J-Blow can do one. Will skip.

@LordAinsley I'm doing the same. I bought the Pulse set on release and the earphones have completely perished (foam is hanging out). I too will wait for reviews on the headset and whether you can use it with the Pulse dongle.

@Blaze215 I think it's more to do with the fact he's a lying, narcissistic egomaniac with a very thin skin who has no one but his own selfish interests at heart. A man that only steals other people's ideas and fobs them off as his own.

Avi Arad's involvement is enough to sink any enthusiasm I might have had.

I don't know why people are up in arms about this. Stan Lee said himself that ANYONE can be Spider-Man; it isn't exclusive to Peter Parker. And, at the end of the day, it's a videogame; you're technically still going to be some guy in a costume swinging around NY, so what's the problem? Gameplay will remain the same.

It's a 9 for me. What keeps it from a 10 is - when you boil it down to its basic mechanics - there's a lot of walking back and forth picking things up, reading things; that and the combat is a little underwhelming compared to what Remedy have done in the past with Control and Quantum Break; so there's not much replay value once you've finished it (compared to RE4 Remake where I was itching to give it another go around).

Having said that... WHAT an experience, was just completely immersed in its ridiculous world. Such a memorable game and one of the best of the year. Utterly bewildered by Eurogamer's 3 star review.

@CreepingShadow I know I know! It's just that I've seen Lake's real voice in interviews etc and can no longer picture him with the Payne voice it's just weird. Also McCaffrey is a beautiful man so it should go to him

@Skeletor85 Rockstar have basically just sub-licensed the IP back to Remedy, I don't think they'll be involved in the development, thank god.

@Papa_Godzilla It's a full, ground-up remake using Remedy's own propriety engine that powered Control and AW II, so it's going to look incredible.

Remedy being Remedy I doubt they will just rest on their laurels and make a 1 to 1 redo; hopefully this is a chance for them to explore Max's story in a deeper way.

As for their brand of mind-bending theatrics, I'd like them to keep that to the dream sequences, and have the story play fairly straight. As much as I love the meta-wackiness of Control and AW II, this needs to feel more grounded.

Also.... call me a heathen, but I actually don't want Same Lake's face for Max on this one; give me more McCaffrey!

I want that Max Payne remake next please!

I've encountered quite a few: it's mainly enemies getting stuck in the scenery (those pesky robot birds are always inside something), and missions not completing properly. Also visual bugs where Pete is glowing white. But it's nothing a quick checkpoint reload won't fix.

I'm really hoping there's some sort of performance mode with this. I've heard about it being a bit of a nightmare to run smoothly unless you have a beefy rig. Worries me that the console version might not hit 60fps.

60fps for me... as long as the performance mode is 1440p. Control was SO much more fun on the PS5.

@Darude84 I believe they're commenting more on the shadiness of these business practises as a whole; the egregious money-grabbing absolutely needs highlighting and I suppose PushSquare is sort of meeting in the middle with the score. Other outlets such as Eurogamer have flat out given these kinds of games an "Avoid" in the past.

@CreepingShadow Could you shed some light as to what exactly the "agenda" is? Sorry I might be blind to it after all. I mean, this is based on Marvel comics right? They've always been inclusive and progressive.

@themightyant Oh god yeah, but I feel that changing the tile-set movement would completely break the game

As now I'm basically an old man, I just don't think I have the patience to play through these again. As for those who never did first time round, prepare to break your controller!
