@Cyberbotv2 Maybe it's just me, but I would be far more impressed if they actually managed to fit the game under 100GB. With good file size optimization and avoiding pre-rendered cutscenes, I'm sure that would've been possible with minimal hit to the quality.
So people are mad that villains are acting like villains, and the game has a title that describes the story of the game.
I love Batman Arkham games, and I do think that is one of my favourite versions of Batman. But I don't mind this game's story whatsoever. It's the gameplay that is a turn off for me.
@trev666 Arkham Asylum was developed with a team of 40-60 people (starting with 40, ending with 60). That's a pretty perfect size for a team tbh, sometimes having more people only slows down decision making and causes clashing visions between team members.
Besides, I'm tired of seeing only open world games. Having quality games with smaller scale would be a nice change of pace.
While they say it's a remaster, it's in fact using Carbon Engine which means that it's just emulation with some nice quality of life stuff like rewind. Not saying there's anything wrong with it, it's just misleading marketing.
But then again, this is Limited Run Games, so maybe that's to be expected.
@jgrangervikings1 To each their own, but I find this game far more exciting than anything Ubisoft has released since Rayman Legends. Seems like a superb game.
@MattBoothDev Series S can definitely output 4K, but the GPU isn't strong enough to run most games with it. So while Series S has far more powerful CPU than One X (not to mention SSD which helps), it also has less powerful GPU and less memory (10 GB vs 12 GB).
@Jay767 I haven't read a single article that has confirmed this. Some news articles mention PS5 in title, but don't include any kind of official quote or references/sources. In the age of paid exclusives, I don't think it's responsible for news sites to share information without proper research.
Edit: Not to mention, calling it a PS5 reboot or PS5 revival makes it sound like a PS5 exclusive, which is kind of misleading.
Kind of weird calling it a PS5 reboot (and PS5 revival in other article) before they've even announced the platforms. Sure, it seems likely, but not certain yet.
I watched the trailer and I have absolutely no idea what I just watched. What do you do in the game, how does it play and what's the goal here? It looks visually nice, but I think this trailer failed in telling anything about the game.
I can see this kind of controller being very comfortable to use. It's a similar situation with Arcade sticks, playing fighting games etc is much less tiring for your hands than on a traditional controller.
I've played and enjoyed Tears of the Kingdom, Spider-Man 2 and Super Mario Bros. Wonder. All of these are great games and deserve to win. That said, Baldur's Gate and RE4 Remake seem like great games too.
Yes, I have had a bunch of (mostly small) bugs. The most common by far is subtitles getting out of sync, it has happened quite many times. Once the collision system failed and Spider-Man got stuck inside a building, and couldn't get out without switching to Miles. Also, once the mission didn't progress because one enemy was out of bounds and I couldn't take them out.
Oh, and one time the audio got completely messed up. Fixed itself eventually, though. Oh yeah, almost forgot about that one building that had some floating lamps in it and was also missing some point launch/zip points on the rooftop.
Anyway, nothing too major. Thankfully most of these could be fixed by restarting the last checkpoint in missions or switching to another character. I'm really enjoying the game, even if it could use a little bit more QA
No reason to upgrade, but seems like a nice device for those who are on the market for a PS5. 175GB of additional storage is nice, as long as this still has the SSD expansion slot.
@themightyant Unity has almost eight thousand eployees while Epic Games for example has less than four thousand. I have absolutely no idea why they need that many people. I feel like they've grown too big and shouldn't have made so many acquisitions or hired so many people. They should focus on making an engine for mobile platforms and indie developers, as those are the biggest markets for them.

Re: The New Prince of Persia Will Run At a Blistering 120fps in 4K on PS5
@MattBoothDev There are some native 4K games on it too, although not many. Not to mention video content which can also be rendered at 4K.

Re: The Tekken 8 PS5 Demo Is Available to Download Now
I'll wait for the Steam demo, since my Arcade stick doesn't work on PS5 (except with PS4 games).
