My only two gripes are the lack of 60FPS and the high price point. 30 bucks is a top bar for this, but they know they'll get more money that way, cause a crap load of people will still buy it day 1. It's just business. Ill wait for sale, im in no rush to replay it asap.
yeah, i actually hope they delay it, just so it has more chance of survival on the market. it's a survival horror game, sure, but going up against freaking Spider Man and Assassin's Creed is near suicidal. i hope they'll rethink their release strategy asap. i wish them all the success they deserve.
"In what should be considered definitive proof we live in the objectively worst timeline, Rockstar actually rejected a pitch for a Grand Theft Auto movie starring none other than Marshall Mathers, Eminem himself. "
More like NOT the worst, cause that sounds cringe af
While beautiful to look at, the idea seems a bit redundant and kinda pointless. at least for a gamer like me, who actually played and finished DSIII. I think the developers of this type of games better stay in the "inspired by" area and do their own thing with the characters and story, like Blasphemous and Death's Gambit devs did.
@Tomato_Goose see i can't, those stats are in direct relationship with the gameplay and difficulty, it's not just cosmetics. So i have to engage with all this stuff in order to progress in a comfortable manner. My point is i could still progress in a comfortable manner WITHOUT the need to invest my time into constantly placing things into sockets and comparing the benefits of one thing to another etc etc. It's lame in my opinion, especially in such a story centered experiencem where the clear most valuable aspect is the story and the visual experience of it all. A simple upgrade tower (or map or whatever you wanna call it) of skills from the original games would suffice beautifully, i think.
i think i saw his posts a couple'a'times citing Elon as part of the reason is kinda laughable, but even if it's so, godspeed. twitter is a hellhole when you use it a certain way, but i don't engage with that stuff and remain mostly unscathed for many years now. it's a good source of quick news where you can discover and stay up to date with every niche interest you can think of
The soundtrack of Death Stranding is absolutely stellar and 90% of it thanks to Low Roar. I actually started listening to this band after the first trailer ("I'll keep coming") and it's such a shame the leader of the band passed on so early into his life. Not fair at all.
Thankful to Kojima for getting everyones attention to this awesome band.
super happy about this. the original has it's problems, but it's the closest we've been to a high budget Twin Peaks game. this time round the vibe seems more scary than mysterious, but i can dig that too
Incredible visuals in this cinematic trailer. It gives me "prologue" vibes. These are traditional to all From games, and it seems this is the one we'll see at the start of Elden Ring. Super intrigued by the story and characters presented. Tolkien influence is unmistakable. Then again, Martin himself is a Tolkien successor, practically.
I guess I dig the lighting, in some scenes it is inferior to the originals though. My main complaint here would be that overall it looks like Fortnite or Sims to me. Character models especially have this plastic look and shine to them, like these are action figures. Very bizzare stylistic choice. If there was any artistic direction here at all... Characters look separate from their surroundings at times.
Everyone praising this ugly mess should go back and compare the remasters to the originals. Some of the details and interesting visual solutions R* were able to achieve in 00's are gone in this. It looks plain now, and plastic. What a failure.
Uncharted looks super bland and uninspired visually.
The falling scene is horrendously obvious green screen nonsense (poorly executed too) where you can see Holland just lying on a green matrass istead of falling through the air. All in all it looks like it has nothing to offer in the context of similar movies that came before and did it so much better than what we see here.
I am curious abou HBO The Last of Us though, since it is being made by very very talented crew of people, such as Craig Mazin, Kantemir Balagov and Drukmann himself. And under the HBO banner, no less.
i would honestly love an even more complex, unique, pedantic, crazy gameplay in the sequel. i love this about the original game. i'll be happy with whatever from Kojima, be it a new ip or DS sequel. the man is one of a kind and he is yet to dissapoint.

@MattBoothDev what? It doesn't run at 60fps on Series X, where did you get that from? 30fps, same as PS5.

Re: Hands On: Red Dead Redemption PS4 Port Seems Solid, But Should Be So Much More
@MattBoothDev not for me, being a console player primarily im used to it. Stable 30 fps will be absolutely fine for this game.

i'd rather them sack the armour system altogether, it felt like busy work anyways. keep it simple, story driven and aesthetically sound.
