I had a great post ready to go about this being a 5v5 hero shooter now but it seemed too dystopian. Now I'm reading the update about how a bunch of heroes need to come together to save the world and now it seems too close for comfort.

@Gamer_X

My point was...Sony does not need some big showcase to announce a new piece of hardware to have it become the most talked about thing on the internet. They could whisper it in somebodies ear and it would be a headline.

@Gamer_X

They could reveal the PS5 Pro with a Reel on Instagram and I will still be the biggest gaming news for the next year.

@Enuo
I ran to the comments to say the same thing.

The only people who care about this are the lawyers trying to drum up a class action lawsuit so they can make millions. If anybody looked at the 8K logo and said "That's the #1 reason for buying this product" you deserve to give your head a shake.

@TrickyDicky99 @TrickyDicky99

/shrug/If you read my original post correctly, I said nothing about 8k, I was referring to any resolution or frame rate.

I don't know what the real issue is here anyway, gamer bros gonna complain about whatever they can just to keep the meme going. I guess crying about this gaming generation is now an entire personality.

I played the game at launch and specifically remember feeling creeped out in the Forbidden Forest the first time I went in. The atmosphere is very good with this game. Combat works, the story is fine and the puzzles are fairly simple, but the world-building.../chefs kiss/ The world-building was fantastic to me.

Can Sony mandate exactly what a developer's game has for resolution and FPS output? Blaming Sony for the software not using all available resources is like blaming Maybach for my chauffeur never driving the car past 220kmph even though the speedometer says it can.

@Pistolega

all right, have it your way, you win, congrats.
/shrug/

In any media, very few things get me hyped up any longer. The only thing in video games lately has been the Like a Dragon series (3 games in 12 months). But for some reason, I am unusually excited for this game.

@Pistolega

Content...nothing more nothing less.

@Pistolega

And I'm not sure why you feel compelled to call it diarrhea. See...it works both ways.

@playstation1995

Word up indeed my friend. Word...up...indeed.

@Pistolega @NEStalgia

You are proving my point.

@IamJT
Truthfully, the hardcore fandoms have ruined the fun in all their respective franchises. Don't believe me, try to defend the Star Wars sequels or Rings of Power. How about being a fan of Assassins Creed and putting up with all the negativity over every game but AC2 and AC4?

@Frmknst

Seriously sarcastic yes, but there is a grain of truth to my obvious trolling

Gamers: We want to hear some news about our hobby

Sony: Here ya go a bunch of new stuff to look forward to

Gamers: Not that though, that stuff sucked

Geoff Keighley: how but 3 days of new info and details

Gamers: not that either because we have decided for some reason that you suck Geoff

Industry: well, what do you want? Asking for a friend

Gamers: Here is our manifesto telling you what we don't want and our list of two things we do.

Industry: So you hate everything but Bloodborne Remake and Last of Us Multiplayer. You realize that both of those things fall under no more remakes and no more live service games of your manifesto.

Gamers - suck it CEO you killed my hobby.

@Buck51

I try to be funny, sometimes I am and sometimes I am not. Please don't read too much into it. Besides, when a game's most desired future feature is photo mode, most people aren't here for the "gameplay" anyway...lol...

This looks like a pastel version of Stellar Blade with less jiggle effects. Both are just dress-up games with some gameplay thrown in for an excuse to exist...lol...

I'm playing through Dave the Diver right now so I cannot wait to try Dredge. I feel like I slept on Dave the Diver. If you have not played that one do yourself a favour and play that game.

On a different note, I find it crazy, that with the number of free games offered every month, over 2 different release windows, everyone cannot find something to entertain themselves for 20 bucks worth of time.

Doesn't anyone like anything anymore? What games are people playing that are so much better? What games are on people's want lists that could make Playstation+ better for them?

@TheUnrestCure

The published review was probably expanded upon from the original:

"HAHAHAHAH....OMG, this game is a bit crap isn't it...lol..."

I'm just saying the review probably could have been even shorter.

I am glad PushSquare is keeping abreast of these updates. If not this site would be a huge bust.

I was ready to be angry this game was not on PS5 after it got all the 10/10 review scores. But alas it barely scrapes by with a 7 for a user score on Metacritic. Also, it only runs at 30 FPS on the console making it a poor example of an acceptable tech demo. So instead of being angry, I am just disappointed for Xbox fans. We all deserve better but Xbox fans have had it bad lately.

@Nepp67

It's on Disney+ if you can tolerate that...lol...

@psgamer2

100% As soon as I figured out stances the game went easy mode and I had to up the difficulty setting.

@Nepp67

Have you seen the documentary "Connecting Worlds"? It is a movie documentary made by his own company where he talks about how much of a genius he is while people who work for him agree about his genius. It would seem like an Onion documentary except that the man is an actual genius.

@Flaming_Kaiser

I don’t think Ubisoft made up all these lame practices themselves. I think other companies tried different money making schemes and Ubi saw an opportunity and ran with it making those small schemes into a business model. Blaming Ubi for it all is giving them too much credit. Like blaming them for open world bloat or paid cosmetics. The didn’t invent this stuff they are just really good at making it worse. lol.

I really loved Ubisoft in the early days though and it’s hard for me to watch everything they do just crash and burn. However I am one that is only upset at pricing, DLC practices and online requirements. Nothing else.

@Icey664

Photo mode, locked behind a season pass for 49.99.

Anybody that says that they are going to sleep on this game and wait for a sale are big harry LIARS. We have 18 months of hype train to go people, everyone will be on this train by the time Rockstar releases this game.

@Nyne11Tyme

For every City game, there are 10 in the wilderness or some post-apocalyptic hellscape. I do play a lot of Like a Dragon games so maybe I should be satisfied with that...lol...

@Nyne11Tyme

I wish there were more open-world games in modern cities.

@Rich33

You came all this way and said all those words just to say you are not going to buy it...

If a Lego game means more Lego building sets then yes, please. The Tallneck set looks fantastic in my game room and I would love some more giant dinosaur robots for the shelf.

Wow, the typical Ubibashing didn't take long this time. Every game announcement these days seems to have a fatal flaw that upsets some small corner of the fandom. However, Ubisoft attracts extra negative attention as they always have 2 or 3 foibles. This time it's: needing to be online to install, pricing of the different editions, and perceived "wokeness".

Ohh Ubi, why do you always make it so hard to be a fan?

@koverby

I wish!!

@NEStalgia

I know. It's like half measures or icecream with hot ketchup instead of hot fudge

Sony's secret plan is to have it be able to stream games directly from PSN. If it can stream from a Playstation (essentially a server when coupled with the Portal) it can stream from the PSN servers. Am I wrong? Is there a reason this can never happen? If they can/do they will sell substantially more Potals and increase subs to PS+ Premium. It may even convince me to go digital and stream my new games over portal

@Specky

What's political about Spider-Man 2? Did they talk about how government forms, how civic policy is made, or how to run a great election campaign? I played the game and it was about a bunch of comic book nonsense.

@nomither6

No, I haven't, but I've heard it's good. I can't imagine how it would be the same in today's game development climate. There is no way that Ubisoft will be able to make any legacy gamer happy or attract the attention of new players with it. Ubi should Stick to making a really great single-player game...for now.

@NEStalgia

All things have been dehumanized and the quest for ultimate efficiency requires the homgenization of all things

That's what my joke about the Fortnite Gaming launchpad is about. A spoon-feeding of the drab and lifeless "Fortnite Adventure Game" where it's just one game and everyone plays it. If you want to play an adventure game you play the one provided by the Fortnite Gaming Authority which the Fortnite Gaming Board of Directors has decided that you play.

As Charlton Heston said, "Soylent green is made of damn dirty apes"

@Dalamar

Are we talking about historically accurate weapons, historical figures, places and events, what history are you worried about?

@TotallyNew2This

Thank you for saying this. Not every game needs to be Elden Ring or "push the genre forward". The right game at the right time for the right person.

@NEStalgia @gollumb82

I get @NEStalgia's point, I do. It seems that many things were more enjoyable before corporations took them over. At my age though, I don't want to be one of those old guys saying that "things were better in my time" crap. So I try to put it in some perspective for myself. Sure corporations are trying to generate more profit from their investments, and sometimes it feels that the best they can do is rip us off with add-ons and other crap. But I also have been enjoying games in the last 10 or 15 years more than ever.

Everyone is always so nostalgic for the past games and the games industry, I just don't feel that same. The old game is old.

In 20 years from now, when one corp owns it all and has left us with the Fortnite Gaming Launchpad, where we choose our genre and play a mind-numbing game in VR called either Adventure Game, Racing Game, Platform Game, or Sportsball Game. That is when everybody will look back and say remember when Microsoft tried to buy Activision...lol...I wish I knew we were in the good old times when we were still in the good old times.

OH ya...Advertising...Meh...whatever...could be worse...lol...

@nomither6

Really...you want this after all that happened with that AAAA sailing game from this year. Ubisoft needs to just focus and give us a solid single-player experience.

They should Remake AC1 to understand what focused gameplay is and then enhance it with modern sensibilities.

@gollumb82

I agree, I guess it does seem more flagrant than it did before. I think most of us are just growing more weary of every corp on the planet trying to suck us dry for as much money as possible. Landlords, banks, grocery, utilities, cars, cellphones, celebrities, you name it, whatever it is, are just trying to take more and more of our already diminished wages.

Is anyone trying to figure out the code in the email that is made up of 33's, 21's and 11's?

@gollumb82

Games have always and will always be made to make a corporation money. There is nothing altruistic about gaming.

From pumping quarters into pinball machines and arcade games all the way up to gatcha games and paid loot boxes, gaming has been a FOR PROFIT venture.

Well...at some point, as consumers, we will have to put up with something in our games that makes the shareholders more money. I feel it's either that, or we will start paying more for our games.

What happens to game companies that pay a licence fee to, a car manufacturer for example, but now the game company wants to get paid to advertise the car?

If the car companies don't want to pay will we go back to games having vague-looking cars like Grand Theft Auto, and who will want to play Grand Tourismo or Horizon with vague-looking supercars?

....[rubs hands]...What are we arguing about today?...

Boring....

@twitchtvpat @Vault_Mcfly

To be fair there is something in the air when it comes to video games. The layoffs, the closures, the Xbox games on PS. These companies are hoarding more money and cutting more jobs all the time. It's not just the games industry though.
