If they dont drop a 60FPS patch soon, I'm going to start to worry about Capcoms upcoming titles.

Ridiculous it didnt launch with it but now 6 months on and no fix? Legitimately concerning.

@SleeplessKnight I think a lot of your suggestions here are really poor. Just more of the same slop.

I think it is Hulst yeah.

Hastely promoted as mentioned here, I actually think that although Guerilla have a very good technical team, their games have always been pretty poor in the character, dialogue and story department. Something that Hulst never managed to turn around in his time in charge.

And then he was promoted over and over again, in spite of this. I'm sure you can point to guerillas sales as being a good team with a good leader but I just don't think they make very good creative decisions. Both of their major franchises just chase current trends (first person shooters, then open world games) but never perfected the genres they were chasing.

And now, Concord fails, a game pushed by Hulst...a game that fails in the character department, is chasing current trends in 2024 (live service hero shooter) and has a poor story. Sound familiar?

Loses a point for being too good essentially?

Future prediction.

Polling. Sways them to release of PC. They spend 6 months working on a PC build.

Sells less than 30k

Pushsquare: why are people piling on this game it's fine!

Also pushsquare: spare a thought for this garbage dumpster fire, also the bi-hourly steam figures are in and there are less than 3 players online! God how embarrassing for them!

Ai generated box art looks like

I will miss Sean but Gwendoline is a great choice, can't wait

DD2 still doesn't run at 60, it's a shambles

its awesome timesplitters is coming and saves the month for me personally, however, it is a Godly selection if you have never played The Witcher 3 or Cult of the Lamb. both fantastic games, I've just finished them already.

Wow what a get for Plus.

Somethings gonna have to fall by the wayside. Maybe that Star Wars game if the reviews are around 7

@jrt87 Thats not what I think at all but cool, just put words in my mouth.

I'm really just explaining why a decision like this gets made.

It boils down to ratings boards. Getting an AO rating is tied to in-game behaviour deemed damaging to society. Remember Hatred? You could argue it's the same as GTA and if you're simplistic it is, but it's not the same. The game rewards the player and its story is to massacre innocent civilians as much as possible.

The points for Erotica in this game used to not really be much of a thought in 2006. But now, this action is a crime in real life. When this game gets to the censor board, it will be pulled up that the game features a mechanic where the player is rewarded for taking creep shots of unsuspecting women and judged on that.

And when a game gets rated AO, Walmart wont stock it and a lot of countires (including the UK) have rules about publicly advertisting it.

It's an ass covering exercise by Capcom. Thats it

@Northern_munkey Yeah traffic achieved, piss boiled, shut it down.

@jrt87 I remember that throttling dogs thing. Has absolutely nothing to do with the current conversation, but hey, its cool to remember things congrats.

If 2006 Frank West is a satire of a photojournalist grabbing sleezy upskirt shots to sell to the newspaper, in 2024 page 3 no longer exists and if you brought a photo of a random womans breasts to a newspaper editor he'd ask you to leave.

@DeepEyes I don't even think you know what you're trying to say at this point.

Capcom dont want the game to reward you for this behaviour as its now considered to be a crime. It wasn't when the game came out. You can still still do these things, you just wont get 100PP every time you do it. In the same way that you can still run over pedestrians in GTA but you dont get rewarded for it.

You're still free to do it.

@DeepEyes GTA has missions where you have to kill an innocent civilian who does not at all challenge you, doesn't not pull out a weapon and fight back and in no way in construed to be a bad person in the game?

@DeepEyes It's the act of reward for killing that needs to be considered.

If you shoot civilians in COD, the mission fails. Killing civilians in GTA doesnt reward you with extra guns or trophies or anything.

You can still take photos of women in this game. You can still kill women, take a photo up their skirts and then stroke your stuff to your hearts content.

It's the act of giving you Prestige Points and rewarding you for doing it thats problematic and why they've disabled this in the remaster.

@Ken_Kaniff if you are on the beach and you see a good looking person, and you enjoy this, its fine.

if you whip out a camera and start taking photos so you can check them out later, its a crime.

Same case here.

@DeepEyes I'm sorry, but do you need me to explain to you why its unnecessary to explain to people why after killing zombies in a videogame, you shouldnt go outside and kill people in real life?

I just cant understand the point you're making at all.

@ashipaw you do not need to tell people not to murder people (or in this case, zombies/psychopaths that are trying to kill you, but whatever).

you do need to tell people that upskirting is illegal unfortunately. it happens too often, even in spite of it now being illegal.

@nessisonett yup, and this site can be proud in helping stoking up the story. brilliant. i cant wait for 4 weeks of videos of the sweatiest looking men complaining about this

20 years ago Upskirting and revenge porn were legal.

Now it is literally a crime in the majority of countries around the world.

It is not surprising that Capcom would want to remove the gameplay function that goes "NICE 100 POINTS " every time you commit what is considered to be a sex crime.

Don't want to take away from anyone else's enjoyment but in games like this I always just control my MC, it's only really turn based games that I switch.

Even took me a while in BG to realize it's better to switch to companions to do some stuff like lockpicking

It's so funny this even exists.

Blanchett gave an interview recently where she was practically asked "why did you agree to do this garbage lol"

and she as good as said "i was going mad stuck in my house because of the covid lockdown and they offered to fly me out to Hungary for a month. I didnt bother reading the script I was just so desperate to get out I agreed to it"

@WizzNL digital only so they cant affiliate link it

@Bentleyma best way to play them in my experience. I over-indulged in the Apollo Justice Trilogy and found myself getting bored half way through and having to take a break

It...looks...like a colorful cast of characters....like you'd get in a live service game like Concord, Valorant or overwatch....

Please, no. Please stop.

Is this a PS2 emulated title with the rewind function?

@Czar_Khastik I am playing at least one classic game every month now. I started up multiple PS5 games and then turned them off and switched back to a PSP or PS2 title multiple times this week

This drives me absolutely nuts as well. I hope someone at Sony sees this article

@MFTWrecks I now just tell anyone who whines like this to make their own game, let me know when its finished, and I'll play it.

I cant be bothered to argue the toss

Game budgets keep increasing, and subscription rates eventually plateau.

If you offer everything day 1, eventually you will have no choice but to reduce game budgets.

The result will likely be in 2040, your first party games still have 2020 budgets and are not quite as cutting edge as they used to be. Or you jam them with microtransactions, something MS have done with Forza and a few of their other day 1 titles

Some very weird stuff going on with this development.

Hopefully they iron it all out

@Northern_munkey Good story, dated gameplay, I think that could be a good pick.

Bioshock, good gameplay, good story, already playable in 4K60FPS, not necessary imo.

The above didnt stop Sony working on remaking Horizon 1 (one of the most insane choices in recent years) though, so who knows.

I swear it's impossible to get Agent Smith free.

I've jumped in for 15-30 mins a day since relaunch and I'm only half way to earning him

As a lover of metal, vr and rhythm games I just didn't think the base game was that good.

I'll give this a try but I don't have high hopes.

@voltum3l indeed....strangely vague patch notes here.

Going to have to wait for the digital foundry on this...but I'm guessing no

@Decoy_Snake you are wrong. The original is goated and has some wonky controls. A remaster would be massively welcome from a gameplay and graphics angle

Another top quality guess from Jeff "source: my ass" Grubb

Next he'll be telling us Sony are working on a PS6

I thought there was no chance this would ever happen, there is a god.

Praise be

The 2023 game is straight up bad.

I understand you can make some time savings on development by using some of the previous game as a base but seeing as the previous game is not particularly good and they're hurtling through development this is either getting massively delayed or will be awful

I can't wait to try this, it looks great

Even without the tabloidesque gender bend reveal here you could still use this headline.

Leaker culture has become such a cesspool. As with this one, it's people with one piece of information that leverage this into a massive discord server and online following where, after they tap out of the info they one-offed, they just start guessing at obvious garbage.

I am the great leaker-ooni. there will be another God of War game, a State of Play before the end of the year and Fortnite will add more characters next month. Whoooaaaoooooaaa

If capcom listens, and they make a new Dino Crisis, it will underpeform. It'll be Mirrors Edge 2 all over again

I have been trying to convince myself crusader kings was coming eventually

The devil on my shoulder told me it's too niche for plus and would never happen

Finally, a win, usually I cave before it happens!

I specifically remember them buying the exclusivity to the Tomb Raider sequel and also adding silence clauses to crystal dynamics PR so they were not allowed to admit that the deal was temporary and would eventually the game would come to other platforms.

@DonkeyFantasy you can play every single Tango Game on a PlayStation console

@KidRyan no, I didn't realise that existed

Honestly I remember it just being all over the place and I remember the frozen section being really dull
