Re: There's Been a Big Scandal About Whether PS5 Can Run Games in 4K

Nikolaidas

What Dusk did, at least in terms of intentions, was a big mistake.

However, I do NOT think he was lying when he said RE8 ran like crap on the PS5. The game was definitely unoptimized for PS5, and it showed on the trailer which dropped to like, 5 frames per second when Ethan encounters the old man and the werewolf.

But that doesn't really mean anything. Running better on XSX simply means the XSX is more PC-like than the PS5, not that the PS5 cannot run games at 4K WHEN optimized. But people failed to see the context.

That doesn't mean that Dusk was without blame, though. Him stating that he posted this in order to 'level the playing field' and give MS a 'win' because he was tired of console warring, made him look like a pot calling the kettle black.

It was a bad call, all around.

Re: Can You Name These PS3 Exclusives?

17 out of 20, but it was undeserved. I had about 3-4 correct choices which they were dumb luck.

Still, my best score so far. And it proves that the PS3 generation was the one I was most thorough in my game news.

I get the whole 'I'm pi$$ed off because they use the game to push an agenda' complaint, although I'm not entirely sure if the particular game deserves it, but ...

Attacking the actress the character is based on? That's like attacking the mailman because he's bringing you the electricity bill. It's stupid.

Re: Sounds Like Bloodborne Will Release on PC

@BRUTALSAM "releasing every single PS4 exclusive on PC won't affect PS5 at all. not even a bit"

Pretty sure it will, since it defeats the whole 'only on PlayStation' point. And if people see that PS4 games are coming to PC, they'll wait five more years for the PS5 games to come on PCs with SSDs that will be able to take it - backlogs be blessed.

We'll see.

@BRUTALSAM Let's see how well it will play out for them when the PS5 will sell half as much (because it will no longer have exclusives) and Sony will miss out on PS Plus subscriptions (because less people will be buying their system).

Re: Can You Name These PS1 Games?

@Dange Most games on their list were games I have no interest in playing. I mean, I don't play sports games, dancing games, racing games … I deal mostly in action adventure, fighting games, horror, hack and slash, first person shooters …

Did horribly myself, but considering the games they picked … I did alright.
