PS5 RE8 resolution/framerate fiasco aside, are we going to pretend that Dusk Goldem didn't give us the basic rundown of RE8 Village (werewolves, witches, Ethan), Ono leaving Capcom and the RE2make and Sekiro reveal on the same day?
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.
@nessisonett Is it weird that the only way we could see emotion in the character of Shepard was to see meme pics?
I mean, he has to be the most dull and soul-less RPG protagonist I've ever seen in a video game. His expressions, his voice ... everything about him is so ... bland and lifeless.
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.
While I think Ratchet was the only game that screamed 'this is what the PS5 can do', the games I was most happy to see were Resident Evil 8, Demon's Souls and Horizon 2.
@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.
@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).
@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.
Damn, I've forgotten about Project Awakening - that looks so amazing, can't wait to see it alongside RE8, Demons Souls, Spider-Man 2, Horizon 2, Batman, Godfall and Silent Hill!!

If this keeps up, I won't be surprised if they will be revealing the price when you go to pick it up from the store.

Re: There's Been a Big Scandal About Whether PS5 Can Run Games in 4K
@vhsodre Fanboys act childish in any and all mediums. Sports fans, car fans, movie fans, comic book fans ...

It was a bad call, all around.
Re: Interview: How Survival Horror Game Tormented Souls Brings Back the Mechanics of Old
@Wavey84 Agreed. Even the Gamecube REmake, which I loved 20 years ago, is hard for me to play today. It feels slow and sluggish.
Re: Interview: How Survival Horror Game Tormented Souls Brings Back the Mechanics of Old
Everything looks awesome except for the bestiary. I'm SO bored of mutated/deformed escapees from an insane asylum.

Re: Sony's Finally Resolved the PS Store's Biggest Flaw
Good.
Now add a f*&king wishlist for Christ's Sake.
Re: Reaction: State of Play Continues to Find Its Way
I thought it was really good, until I read the accusations on Aeon Must Die, which was the SoP's highlight for me.
Then it became just okay.
Crash was nice, as well as Godfall.
Re: Talking Point: What Did You Think of the Latest State of Play Livestream?
I was ecstatic when I saw the new trailer for Aeon must Die, then I was heartbroken at the story behind it.
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.
Re: Suikoden Spiritual Successor Reaches PS5 Stretch Goal in Just Seven Hours
Dead IP, by the way.
Re: Soapbox: Sony's Next PS5 Showcase Needs to Be a Scorcher
@kyleforrester87 It's 99.99% coming for PS5 and XSX once it goes out of early access.
Re: Can You Name These PS2 Games?
7/15, more than half of those games were completely uninteresting to me from back then.
Re: Suikoden Spiritual Successor Eiyuden Chronicle Announced, PS5 Version a Kickstarter Stretch Goal

Re: Guerrilla Talks New Machines in Horizon Forbidden West on PS5

Re: Dying Light DLC Support Continues with Hellraid on 23rd July
How dissapointing ... this was to be a new IP, basically a first person Diablo.
They probably realized they didn't have the time to make a full-blown game and shoehòrned whatever they made as a dying light dlc.

Re: Sony Issues Official Shot of PS5 Console on Its Side
While I like it vertically, the fact that the vents are in the top means dust will continuously enter the console 24/7. And I want to avoid that.
So, horizontally it is.

Like Sony did last week.

Re: Poll: What Was Your Game of the Show at the PS5 Reveal Event?
While I think Ratchet was the only game that screamed 'this is what the PS5 can do', the games I was most happy to see were Resident Evil 8, Demon's Souls and Horizon 2.
Re: Resident Evil Village Is Optimised for Next-Gen with No Load Times
Character models looked like a downgrade from the resi 2/3 remakes. Nothing they can't improve in the coming months, of course.
Always stoked for a new SH based resi game. Let's go.
