Ps5 has all the boxes checked. Maybe 12 cores sounds better but I "guess" Sony/Cerny know their business... The rest is supreme, as the psvr compat... Maybe with the power of ps5 even better experiences can be squeezed from the limited resolution of the headset ( that's what bothers me the most , and the lack of proper vr controls).
Well... Support for Ray tracing or having dedicated hardware for Ray tracing are different things. I hope there's some dedicated silicon for this. RT is a real generational leap in visual fidelity.
Not about being pessimistic, but the game should be almost "done" (all gameplay mechanisms in place, art, etc) in order to be able to ship on November... And showing no gameplay could mean it's a total crap... In my country politicians can get to elections and even win for president without ever saying what's their plan, or what's worse (and what generally happens) lying about it. Showing a game without real gameplay when the gameplay is already there really smells bad.
So it seems like the game is more or less finished... But we get no gameplay? I do want to believe, but yet can't feel the force on this one my little Padawan.
It seems pretty basic that you should be able to sell/give it away whatever thing you own ... it would be great to have at least an option to gift or be gifted with a digital game... There are several "one playthrough only" games out there.
@Gumbopudding pretty much like that. It works on/over an ideal/controlled environment... But then on the real world you have a human smacked against a tree by an autonomous car or a player being kicked out of the game because of poor connectivity. Or maybe the former is just Stadia taking control over the cars... Maybe Stadia IS Skynet...
@Neolit like... "In my times we didn't had lag... Lag was for fools... Now people are used to this garbage... 16K HDR streamlagged Tetris..." Yes, I could see it coming. Also, with touchscreens I've also thought "whom in hell will play games touching a screen..." So, in the end it will happen, and some people will be still buying vinyls and PS5 just because of the old times.
Technically it's a great concept. Hardware performance will be always greater (and possibly many times) than a fixed console, and upgrades/generations are gone. From end user perspective, it's almost like magic. Sounds too good to be true. You can tell that this is going to be revolutionary... Until you factor cost and connectivity. I do think this is the future of gaming (and maybe the near future if you can handle bandwidth etc), but the future-future for most of all gamers . Relying on a (super) connection to be able to play ALL your games ALL the time, seems like ... not going to happen anytime soon. It surely will have it's hit as a niche product and a taste of what's to come. And as someone else pointed out, in the demo you can see the controller being smashed while the character on the screen did nothing... I bet that is what I will get in my house using Stadia in 5 years from now. So maybe PS6 is in danger. Nowadays I couldn't care less for Stadia, but it's impressive from a technical point.
Humans standing still looked kinda strange... and running also... Then, part of the music is a complete rip-off from The Terminator music, which can be some kind of tribute... or not. Anyway, I'm always looking to giant robots... but HZD set the bar too high.
Timeless like... no release date ever ? Jokes aside, it's difficult to think other developers praising the game if it's gargabe or just a standard game.
@stupidget hehe, lucky you... I had an XT which could not run even Wolfenstein, then upgraded to a 386 with 2MB , then 4MB and I could run doom about launch day, but of course had to shrink the screen and/or apply the mighty F5 blur ; ) . A couple of months ago I've read the "Doom engine black book" (or something like that ) , what a nice read about how that great game was made.
I've played the original LSL 1 (text input based) on my XT PC (no hard drive, all- orange 12" monitor) ... fun times. It was my first adventure game, the good old times ; )
Dreams is insane. Where's the limit? That being said, ball collision detection is very off in this game, anyway it can be so because it's just a trasero whatever. My psvr is waiting for some dreams sugar.
@Turismo4GT thanks, I'm thinking all this because I don't have a spare minute to game anymore... but who knows down the road... I'm playing synths on a band and that sucks all my spare time, my daughter (single parent), and just thinking on play Witcher3 or RDR2 or that kind of games that requires hours and hours ... my current state is "I forgot all the controls/backstory/etc every time I kick back in a game again" , so that's why I ocassionally play Tetris effects only XD
@themcnoisy Yes, I've did the same back then, sold my 360 and got the PS4 on july 2014, and that's the same I was thinking to do for PS5, but I've a couple of things to pay... I don't know, maybe I'm losing interest in games after all. Sad to think about that, but 30 o 20 years ago I played whatever game came across, and now I was waiting for RDR2 and meh. GOW was a blast anyway... and the same I expect from TLOU2 . And games became are really expensive here in Argentina so, I don't know about the whole thing... thanks for the feedback.
Maybe it's time to sell my Pro & PSVR and just stop playing until PS5/PSVR2 . I've not played a minute in months anyway... I've like 20 AAA games (from MSGV to RDR2 to Witcher3) with less that a couple hours played. So maybe I can hope for backwards compatibility to just happen and play all those on PS5 : P (if I have the time, of course)
I haven't played a MK title since 4 ... but I grew with MK1 and 2 (love it, of course) ... maybe a can give this a shot. I'm old and rusty for speedy fights : P
All I want is backwards compatibility... Then pretty much all the games in this list will have a PS5 version. Can't wait por Horizon2... When I started playing it (day one) one of my first thoughts was "Horizon2 on PS5... OMG!!!"
@Rick_Deckard I hope it gets patched , but it does not sounds like something that went under the radar for Rockstar. Anyway, there area couple of gameplay things that I would like to get patched before ; )
@Rick_Deckard RDR2 HDR is totally lacking. My untrained eye says it's absolutely the same as SDR. I had to double check if it was enabled because it sucked big time. A real shame... there's also an article en DigitalFoundry about it.
@Octane I hope no one tries that. It could cause a space/time singularity that would create random parallel universes, and Godzillas could came from any of those... Go figure. Better not.
@RogerRoger that's right. I remember one mission (I think in Contracts) that was set on an island and the target was a in a room being prepared for an surgery ... I set the power off for the facility, went through a vent tube right to the room where the target was, killed the poor guy and the escaped unnoticed. Pure joy.
My first Hitman game was Silent Assassin, at the time I couldn't believe how good it was. Even technically, it was a blast. Playing with no saves (or with saves but not using it unless really needed) was incredible, you had to plan and execute pretty much flawless to get away clean, killing only your target. I love Hitman and is one of those games you can't help but recommend to everyone. And luckily 2016 iteration is as good as the franchise deserves. Looking forward for the new Hitman!
@kyleforrester87 regarding this game, yes ; ) . You know... Rockstar saying "this game will redefine our industry..." . I hope it gets a 100+ but that will not happen. I enjoy games regardless of review scores, I know what kind of games I like.
