@Flaming_Kaiser yh, also doesn't have to be an open field if open world, i mean as long as you are free to explore, go back etc, but with intriguing map design still. U could consider dark soul open world in a way, or bloodborne. Maybe a balance between those labyrinthine designs and full open maps would be ideal. Still have interesting diverse environment, with a challenge to discover all nooks and crannies etc.
@Gloamin
Agreed, too easy to fill in open worlds with generic, bland, repetitive objectives.
I love da:i base gameplay, the combat, camera control on pause, animations.
Sekiro is supposed to be pretty good for open world design, maybe it's not totally open, not sure.
Ps store keeps so many games at original launch prices, then oh look its 50% off wow omg lol.
When in stores most these games are already 1/3 the price at regular price too. Getting disappointing, plus these relaunch of games with only dlc included, and director's cut ed. Etc at full price..
@KundaliniRising333 agreed, completely silly video, and unsurprising from polyphony, and that it still will be most probably completely behind the more complex, deep, interesting sims out there.
As if higher resolution etc is what gts needed most to get more realistic lol.
I like the colors and in gameplay looks more intense than HK seems to me, more fun. Kinda like sundered etc. On wishlist, another one as others said hehe. So many nice games to try.
Be cool if action be as cinematic as in that trailer, with smooth not too fast animations, cam angles, etc. Kinda like how tsushima seems to be, for which im still waiting in a good sale..
Why has to be a cheap and telltale style game , sigh..
Please make a full action adventure rpg star trek game. With 3rd person and tactical space action too, exploration.
Well i have tip my hat to Ubi for this, finally a great gameplay focused update, with lots customization too, and optimization. Will get valhalla at some point for sure now. If they could only better the stealth and combat in origins too, maybe add these customizations i would be happy, and maybe for Odyssey which i have but haven't gotten around to.
Bad moves, just like when they removed ghost of tsushima base ed. even months before adding only the bundle with the island add on included.
Was waiting to get the lower priced base game when on a good sale. Now it's a no sale for me, for a much longer time, until that version is on a good sale.. Plus makes me less like sony, carefull sony
@KorsaRaph yeah, can't say it looks more than middling to me from gameplay vids i saw up to now, need see more of it maybe. Many youtube gameplays make games look boring though, even if the game can be great so idk yet.
Disgusting how our hobby is turning into games designed to earn money as a primary objective, instead of a fun, interesting, challenging, immersive, imaginative, cool, different experience.
It's generic consumerism items. Luckily lots of good games and cool devs out there.
Intriguing, looks more dynamic and fluid than most fighting games, reasonable in the quickness of adversaries, most other games it's more a chance than anything if you're gonna react in time and with the right move.
@lolwhatno hi,i agree ps4 could possibly run a game this nice if tiptop optimized, but from software arent the best for that i feel.
Days gone does look great. And the ground,environment textures/detail and lighting dont look that amazing in this gameplay trailer always. But to run and look as nice, like in the trailer i think it will need be on newgen.
The humor seems a little more endearing at least than in gta5, less annoying juvenile dumb, from the little i can hear in that trailer. I never played the old games, loved gta4, especially car physics, control.
Actually it is what i wanted to hear, take the time.. And it will probably still be another year or 2 even before all singleplayer is complete, expansions etc and fixed as can be.
@JB_Whiting @RBMango you guys are right on the money lol, cross fingers it wont be like that though.
I never played blacklist, some say it's too action oriented, that could be another misstep i guess.
Is it any good?
@JB_Whiting bit out of subject matter but that is Dante i guess your avatar.. i never gave a chance to both old and newer dmc series, but i tried the demo of 5 and liking the quality and moves.
I just got 4se now on sale on psn for ps4, I know not best maybe in the series but its the nicest modern looking of the old series and wanted try that. Also i liked it more from videos, stylish, with religious tones, music presentation etc
Will get dmc de and 5 later on.
I almost paid extra for the 3 1st games included, was tempting, but bit old clunky seems, like old re games with cam etc.
I regret it a little as it will take a while to get those for so cheap separately again.
They take time to make them it seems.
Cheers..
@Kalvort i thought it's an mmorpg, good to know. Seems you can play solo? Offline? But you need subscribe i guess each month.
@Judal27 i didn't even know of 16 no, will check it out for sure, glad to be wrong then.
It's a singleplayer game 16?
P5 is 12$ cad on psn now, was going to get it, thinking p5r is a multiplayer offshoot.
Now i dont know, will take a while for r to go down so low as well i guess.
I never been into Japanese games much, but i like rpgs, adventure style of it, turnbased combat, and realistic mature themes.
Not so much the teen dialogue, cartoon style, and corny style.
Watched a play thru, 1st couple hours and was into it, feels like living in a cartoon adventure.
Japanese games often seem so generic, fast done story, dialogue, music, art..
Just the facade of the 1st palace is so generic, simplistic.
The story seems to have blatant mistakes, like at the beginning, there's a subway accident and the guy in the car says no wonder there's lot of traffic..
It's an underground accident..unless i was too tired and missed something.
The music in the 1st couple hours couldn't be more generic, simple, monotone, repetitive cheap synth, as in most of Japanese games.
That be one good reason to wait for R to go down, if music is better.
They take old games off of course, so we pay more for new ports.
Worse is games like tsushima, they deleted the base game from ps4 until they had the complete edition with the dlc added, so you can't buy the base game at a lower price now.
Pretty scummy from sony honestly.
This guy sounds like he was not in the mood,jeesshh,common it's not that bad.
Whatever. If it lasted him 2h means he played it on too easy or something,and also why it lost it's thrilll and fear of dying.
Never played 3 and 4, and just the beginning of 2, so ill be checking these out for sure. Especially 3 remake, hopefully not screwed up though. Just too bad it will be Konami i guess cashing in on these and not Kojima at all.
Looks like could be cool, but please make an aaa space combat game, that weak voice acting i don't know. Still remember Psygnosis dev space combat game on ps1, and their sci fi bike game, cant remember just now the names. Was cool. Miss games of that style.
@Milktastrophe i see, yh i did notice when searching on this, same complaints about earlier updates. Hope you're right. Just wish sony would make a statement to re assure customers. Thanks.
Yh i agree on hypocritical credit systems, neverending grind that pushes you to pay cash.
But to wait for gt7 lol, common, gts is the worse ever for credit grind and expensive cars to push you to buy cash. I didn't, i uninstalled it instead, boring singleplayer game ever gts.
As for ride4, im sure its far from perfect, and can see same silly designs the review mentions from r3, but it can be a good bike racing game to a point. The review didnt help much on if ill upgrade to r4 or wait for 5.
What about the ps4 9.0 update, when will they update it or take it off so we can use online functions with no risk of big problems. Im stil waiting to let it update from all bad comments everywhere. Can't even use utube on my tv until then.
@ColKojakSlapheadIII yeah strider looks cool, tried the demo on ps4 not long ago. Will get it soon as it's on sale now for 4$ cad on psn. I have shadow complex on my wishlist too for ps4, did try the demo on x360 back then, i thought it was ok.
@Dr-M hello , yeah maybe that's a better comparison i guess, its scifi, you meet alien cultures, mostly gun play, not melee, have some dialogue choices. But more akin to the latest mass effect as it was open maps as i remember, not sure if one or a few open maps. Cheers.
Still no news on this? Jeez, can't use any online stuff like youtube, until i let it update, i don't want to take any chances on messing up my ps4 or worse bricking it.
Lol, looks like from matrix 3 haha, with the dancing and speech hoping for a savior. The original was cool really for the time,,with a foreign language for the alien culture etc. Choices of dialogue, action. Voxel graphics.
@Would_you_kindly
Yeah, they can kiss my b...
I uninstalled gts a long time ago, with its scummy hypocrite design, pushing you to buy all the most precious cars with real money or grind for months in end.
Plus a boring singleplayer as can be, boring ai, challenges, too smooth tracks, etc etc..
Plus can't save your singleplayer progress if not online..

Re: Game of the Year: #9 - Disco Elysium: The Final Cut
Hard to say if we would rate it higher or not when we don't know yet the site's other coming top choices.
But im glad and would put it high as can just so more intelligent games are valued high over many shallow action games.

Re: Star Trek: Resurgence Sets Phasers to Stun on PS5, PS4
@KidBoruto yes, that or like the old trek pc space tactical combat game series, been so long i even forget their names, was a top down pov.
Or ideally a mix of both 3rd person action adventure like fallen jedi and tactical space action.
That would make my day.
Cheers.
