Oh I’m surprised there isn’t more fake outrage.
‘Don’t worry too much about the “targeted” wording, this is just legal language in case there are any minor fluctuations.’
Nice. I applaud Push for trying to educate people a little bit 😅
As usual I will see what I like best and it’s probably easy to switch for photos etc.
But Dynamic resolution is standard nowadays in modern games because it’s just straightforward common sense and usually the best option for developers since PS5 is fast to scale. (I believe)
👍🏻

Woah woah J.R. is living in peoples head I see.
It makes me nostalgic about the old Dallas TV show 😅
I’m still not sure what NFTs are tbh and couldn’t care less haha

Sounds good to me. 👍🏻
Once again I see the other site goes on with their little console war about whatever PlayStation does. Every time. 🥁🎺🙄

I’ll never understand why some people care so much about these award things. There are hundreds of them from different sources. There was another drama the other day with people harassing Geoff as if their life was at stake 😅

I don’t care much about the Twitter Gods fighting above us poor common but that makes me think I’d like a game using ideas from the Riftwar fantasy novels setting 😅

@Cloud7794
And that doesn’t contradict at all what I said (I.e. the studio of course management to fix it) Employees bringing attention to issues (in any industry or even any part of gaming industry not just devs) aren’t what is about here. In any case, a lot of noise focusing on the gaming industry (here virtue signalling) whereas the consumer aspect has less focus.
They are two different things.
When you hear them talk about their potential customers it’s often to complain or look down on them.

When Ellie is half drown and Joel is trying to resuscitate her, those fanatics come up and just knock him out without any respect for either of them. Joel wakes up and learns Ellie is going to be butchered by some crazy random surgeon with some crazy theory about getting a cure out of her brain and don’t even have the decency to let her prepare herself to leave this world.
A world that waited 20 years but, somehow, instead of trying proper science and study her for a while ye know, went for non sense rush in the next hour to try squeeze a child’s brain in the hope of getting something out of it because she is the best specimen they could find after failing with other specimen before.

It feels weird that at the time my daughter was just a toddler but now she s about the same age as Sarah and Ellie. People saying Joel was ‘selfish’ are out of their mind. I hope they don’t change the original facts.

@Cutmastavictory
This is the only comment I will read and I agree. I’m not interested in the game. Some people pretend not to be interested but moan about the price. Doing so they are telling ND that they want the game day 1 and that they were right to (re)make it.
🤷🏼‍♂️

I didn’t vote because the wording ‘cash grab’ is unnecessary and meant to be insulting. I’m appalled that Push is forcing it in a vote.
The game IS unnecessary and pointless. However it definitely has a public. I consider it a non needed luxury that some gamers may be interested in. Just like those pricey collector and crappy statues costing a fortune.
To people not happy I say PLEASE don’t buy it. Don’t be just annoying big mouth and let this flop 🤷🏼‍♂️
(It’s not like you couldn’t wait for a better time down the line for something unnecessary or which is it?)

@AdamNovice
I think it started as an initiative (like a demo showcase) from a few devs and Sony just gave them funds to see where they go with it. They sort of put their finger in it and then couldn’t backtrack anymore. That’s how I feel it.

I just feel sorry for ND the studio. These last few years they lost a lot of public good will (and I don’t mean sales) partly for being obtuse and snarky in their interaction with the public. Yes there are some idiotic harassment or insult from weirdos but that’s not to mean disregarding any criticism as ‘hate’ and pretend they are above the common people is a normal attitude towards their potential customers.
Problems like crush should be their own internal issues to solve and not some sort of virtue signalling in a gaming industry focused on their own interest rather than the publics.
Better face criticism and admit some games are controversial while acknowledging a normal scepticism from the public. Some games aren’t for everyone and, while it’s fine, it’s best to be clear and honest about it.

@Akurusu
Well I see it as a consumer pointless and overpriced luxury product that most people don’t need to buy.
🤷🏼‍♂️
I don’t get the outrage for something I couldn’t care less. Maybe people care and want to get their hands on it at launch? It may seem narrow minded on my part but I don’t get it and not sure why they need it. Don’t buy it then. Don’t encourage more remasters and pointless remakes. Or if you really want it asap and can’t wait for a second hand copy then go for it but I don’t get the whining.
It’s not like a dlc that should be in the main game and is pure robbery like Spider-man dlcs.

Edit
I have the idea that it started as a personal project that was well underway with Sony funds when they realised it was about pointless. They then want to get their pointless investment back.

@z0d15g0d
Oh yes. I was just limiting my comment to gaming news. World more serious news is another approach definitely as you need to have a bigger picture instead of looking through a microscope so to speak

@4kgk2
They are obviously wrong if so.

@Jireland92
I think it started as a bad joke from an individual and some (obviously ignorant) power influence of politics and media jumped on it.

@z0d15g0d
I think a good principle is always to check the primary source. A lot of the press quote (or misquote) secondary source when they don’t straight copy paste what other colleagues posted (or worse: they quote Twitter celebs as primary) without even checking themselves.
Usually good sites post the primary source link that unfortunately you have to check being the only way even if it takes time.
Sometimes it can be daunting and a good example was the Cerny road to ps5 that many reporters, I believe, couldn’t take the time to listen many times to understand but instead just quoted Digital Foundry/ Eurogamer which was full of misinformation.
Here the mistake is quite obvious and shocking so it’s easily noticeable.

I often watch the ‘preposterous eight-minute sequence’ when launching the game (except for when rest mode from a championship).
The only bit I feel disappointed with is the adaptive triggers I feel could have been used more significantly.
I’m having such a great time with the game. Under appreciated and somewhat swept under the rug by the media for some reason whereas it’s one of the best games of the year up there with Elden Ring for me.
Lucky you playing with that wheel 😛👍🏻

I don’t know where this hatred for cats is coming from ; if it’s be some human evil side projection like in the dark ages of blaming the Black Death (or any evil) on them or just getting attention. There are many animals who seem just as cruel and selfish as humans and yet also similarly differ as many individualities. I think it’s a brilliant idea for a game. I feel cats bring some positivity and happiness into this world and that must count for something.

I’m not interested in playing it even if it were free. I think it’s a pointless remake. People calling a game (Dlcs is different) a cash grab are deliberately meant to insult the devs though. It happens a lot and I don’t like the hypocrisy behind it. Especially in the gaming industry and influencers who don’t even buy games or complain when they don’t get free stuff.

Whoa. The cat’s whiskers beat the remake on the finish line. I see my vote counted 😅

@UltimateOtaku91
Victory great week 3k + 3k
I’ll never forget that one haha

@UltimateOtaku91
I mean it’s probably off topic and I shouldn’t express myself here on the matter but that site gives the readers what they want more or less I guess. Xbox does blah blah better than PlayStation. That’s all (the philosophy) what the site goes on about haha

@WallyWest
I agree. It’s ridiculous how people think game ‘awards’ means anything special for gamers. The only important award is your own award and not some special media or another of hundreds delivering their biased awards.
Personally ER and GT7 so far made this year awesome (GOTY) 👍🏻 Couldn’t care less about industry (hundreds of) awards just like Oscar, Grammy or whatever BS they go on about. 😅

@JAMes-BroWWWn
Absolutely! I’m not surprised Forspoken got a ‘strategic’ delay to January so more people can actually buy it.

@Would_you_kindly
Oh I dont think the drawing/carving necessarily means much. It could be a hint but being a different director it could just be referring to facts that at some point that will happen and Atreus needs be aware of it.
I know that would be controversial for the fans but when you think of Nate Drake for instance, the devs need to let go of an ageing icon at some point. His daughter and Atreus here still leave it open for a possible continuation. So they could as well make it a formidable Loki in the ending and a look to a possible future of the franchise.

@UltimateOtaku91
Wow your right!
The absolute hypocrisy about the price I see on prXbox 😅👀

@colonelkilgore
Even better. : she helps Kratos kill Odin.
Then Thor kills Kratos but Freya save Atreus.
Second plot twist you play as Loki two years later and fight Thor 😅

It looks great but I hope Freya isn’t going to be the final boss that you know from the beginning.
Hoping for more plot twist and a bigger picture than the previous game.

@NEStalgia
It’s a direct sequel. I already said it’s more of the same. Just like Days Gone 2 would have been.
Jaffe is a famous YouTuber people quote or ignore depending on their own biases haha. I’ve been clear I don’t think journalists are perfect either. Anyway like I said it’s completely pointless discussion since a direct sequel is what it is. No need to be dlc to be more of the same.

@NEStalgia
Hey man. I don’t see enemies here. Come on. I’m only laughing at console warriors. They aren’t enemies. You just agreed with me it’s absolutely not noteworthy and the logic behind trying to downplay a game is quite clear.
I’m not blind haha

@NEStalgia
Sorry for second reply to clarify

I think quite a few games ‘started as dlc’. And nobody made a fuss about them. As I said it’s completely irrelevant and just anecdotal at best.
But keep bringing it up if you wish for some reason. Doesn’t bother me I just said my thought about it.

@NEStalgia
Actually it started on a notepad and it’s completely irrelevant. You would have to be naive not to see why dlc is brought up repeatedly. Yes it’s console war crap. This game has been a target for all sorts of trolls and it’s not stopping any time soon.

@ppitchfork
Well it’s supposed to happen considering the previous game. I only hope he doesn’t get golf clubbed so to speak. As in he should get a decent end.

@Neverwild
I disagree. Xbox fans don’t say that. (Regularly and pointlessly linking GOWR as some dlc in some way, form or shape) Console warriors do and there are so many 😅
Or maybe they only get that propaganda info on prXbox 🤷🏼‍♂️
Any gamer with some sense can realise the difference between dlc and a massive game like GOWR.

What’s funny is when Push was going on about delay rumours from ‘European sources’ I commented the game will release on 11.11.22 and it was deleted for (checks notes 😅) ‘un constructive comment’. I was only 2 days off 😛

Ha I had to stop playing GTAV. It’s just what I expected for years I can’t get interested in the cringe characters and the story 🤷🏼‍♂️
Maybe I’ll go back to it when there’s more talk about GTA6. I feel they are so overrated. 😅

@MikeGeo
Morning.
I m not interested in higher tiers but I don’t understand the confusion. When you add a game to your library then it should be yours forever, wouldn’t it?
It doesn’t matter what is downloaded.
In case there maybe a glitch I’d rather delete everything (from rental) and just download the one from the library (you now own) 🤷🏼‍♂️

Very nice gamble!

It’s a bit weird because I’m not too excited about GOWR because it’s more of the same but the combat was awesome and it’s automatic buy from me. I hope they improve the variety of bosses and a more interesting plot with some twists leading the story in unexpected direction.
Callisto Protocol looks fascinating and I hope it’s great.
Stray is a must buy for my kid but I think it’s cool too.

Others need wait how they turn out tbh.

@velio84
Exactly right. Thank you for your comment.
I appreciate this site for allowing people to express themselves even if the limits of what can be said can be appalling sometimes. I also appreciate the staff responding in the comments.
However Push needs a really long look in the mirror on many levels.

‘all hell broke loose.’
You got to love the drama on the internet.
Insiders being insiders and the media being the media.
Kids being kids and Twitter being Twitter.

‘all hell broke loose.’ 🙄🙄🙄
Move on to reality maybe. I always say to never interact with Twitter. It’s only good to follow factual information. Everyone (including the more common people) interacting with that thing will get burn so…don’t 🤷🏼‍♂️

@Korgon
Yes indeed. I’m not saying I believe this rumour is true but it makes sense at least.

I don’t get the drama. The Xbox site continuously post way worse cringe stuff too. Even PlayStation does sometimes. It’s just non sense for PR buzz.
Encourage drama and then spin another ‘shock’ drama about kids replying with stupid pics or fans asking for a spider suit without saying please.

🙄

But but insidERA said blah blah
Would sites reporters stop with the fake rumours then? Of course not. They are too valuclickable.
At least some proper news here. 👍🏻

@B80
Good morning. It’s funny because I got GT7 at launch but I got hooked by ER so it was the reverse for me. Now I’m hooked on GT7 though.
When I played DS series I checked fightingCowboy the YouTuber. He’s cool at explaining the basic if you need.
Otherwise it’s fine every game and everyone is different. It’s all matter of personal tastes.

@add286
‘So it’s possible that you may not have…’
You definitely read my comment wrong. (It was more trying to help btw)
I’m not against criticism either as long as people are allowed to express their opinion freely too (with all due respect of course)
Anyway have a lovely day 😅

@add286
Morning man. I hope your comment wasn’t meant for me because (in my intent anyway) I was meant to be very respectful. It is true that the game may be approached in different ways that can be more or less impactful to personal enjoyment but that only concerns (said for) the player for their own good. 😅

I’m saying it with respect and tolerance. Some people love some games and some people don’t like the same games. There’s no truth about any given games. It’s all personal perspective and that’s why review scores are meaningless. You are only one of millions who find out they don’t like a game other people love. Well that’s too bad 🤷🏼‍♂️
This story could be posted about any game.
I think you should have played Dark Soul series before because ER is more alike and Bloodborne is too different (and less rpg style).

Edit
Yea I think that’s what I really like in it. In my view it’s really RPG in that extending in the way you play just how you like it. Not like so called rpg that force you to a given play style or poor combat (TW3) and a given character.
So it’s possible that you may not have approached the game in the way that would have made it the most enjoyable for yourself.
