@nessisonett How did you imagine that? I mean, I guess it works, but it would be a bit awkward. If that's a mini game I hope they allow you to press the button instead of mashing it during the QTE.
@Medic_Alert No, you set up dozens of trap wires between you and the machine, and then whistle. Have an emergency route filled with traps and explosive wires if it survives the first one.
Those animations are superb. I was wondering how they'd do this, but it seems that one of the tricks is having the snake to burry itself and move underground. That would probably save a lot of complex object tracking. And it also adds an additional gameplay element to the fight, because it can presumably pop up everywhere.
@fR_eeBritney What?! No. No, the disc drive is the right way up. If you place the PS5 sideways, the disc slot should be at the bottom. Insert a disc with the label upwards. If the PS5 is standing up, the disc label should be pointing towards the left side, naturally.
@get2sammyb Which is a problem, because that means they care more about making a quick profit, than making an actual good movie. Chasing a crowd that isn't even familiar with the series. Even if true, Uncharted was already 'cool', so I don't understand this casting choice. If anything, this feels a little underwhelming. The only thing that's missing here is Zendaya playing Chloe, and Robert Downey Jr. playing Sully.
@Fight_Teza_Fight The whole cast in general feels a bit too young. I don't know why they didn't go for a cast that resemble the game characters we know a little more. Everything looks good so far, but I have a hard time seeing the Uncharted characters in that cast.
@NEStalgia So is MediEvil 3. I guess TLOU won't release over there either, nor God of War. Makes me wonder if they're simply not releasing most of their contect over there, if they're going to censor it, or if they're going to censor stuff forward for everyone.
@Alan_cartridge_ I never said it wasn't impressive. I only said that this illusion works from one vantage point. If you look at it from any other angle, the image looks very distorted, and the 3D illusion is gone.
@johnny30 Not necessarily. File sizes can be smaller on PS5, but it has to be optimised for that. If they just copy the PS4 data, it wouldn't be any different.
The problem on PS4 is that the HDD is slow. An HDD has to physically move to access data, so to reduce load times, devs often keep all the files for a specific area or level close to each other, to minimise the distance the laser has to travel over the HDD. And therefore it makes sense to have many duplicates of certain files, even though you technically only need one. This problem is mostly mitigated with an SSD, so devs have an easier time compressing the file size.
@PhhhCough File size isn't indicative of quality nor quantity. A ton of games are just bloated with unused textures and sounds files and the devs just don't bother to clean it up.
@Ralizah This is just an optical illusion. It's a regular LED screen that displays content in such a way that it looks 3D from one vantage point. It looks less impressive from every other angle.
@Ralizah I agree 100%. Which is strange, because there are hundreds/thousands of good looking fan-made monster designs out there. Those Pokémon inspired games always manage to pick the most generic ones.
@Rural-Bandit Of course, I understand that they get paid for being on GamePass, but my question specifically was about the expectation. Any decent indie these days is expected to come to GamePass, do the devs really have a choice then? If they don't get on GamePass, they may lose out on big money.
I think it's just an interesting topic to think about, just like how Spotify is changing the way music is made, since artists get paid by number of streams, so shorter and more songs on an album are favoured over longer songs. I think Netflix works by pumping out dozens of shows a month, but little with high quality. Quantity over quality.
@Rural-Bandit I seriously wonder if GamePass is always a good thing for indies. I've read quite a lot of comments "dismissing" indie games as "oh, this will be a GamePass title". Problem is that this creates an expectation where you don't have to buy indie games anymore, and they will be given to you for "free" as long as you're subbed. If those games don't end up being part of GamePass, how many people actually miss out on it, waiting for it to come to GP, and how many sales are the indie devs missing out on?
I hope this opens up the possibility of game collector's editions coming with special face plates. Gone are the days when you needed to buy a new console to get the fancy design, now they can just toss in a couple of face plates in the box.
Just saying that fighting an enemy once makes the encounter more special than it being one of many. So I wouldn't mind if there are a few one-of-a-kind enemies in the game.
@Col_McCafferty They're not singular fights though, you encounter plenty of them later on, making them feel less special and more like a regular enemy. I'd prefer if the snake for example was just one fight instead of there being 10 of them in the game.
@fR_eeBritney What I'm trying to say is that I would prefer it if it wasn't linked to Jurassic Park/World.
We have found fossils with pigment still intact, and have been able to restore some species with full proto-feather cover and colours. Sinosauropteryx and Anchiornis are two examples;
@Titntin You're on a Sony fan site, many here are willing to defend Sony for things they shouldn't be defended for. That's just how that works. Just because there's half a dozen people agreeing with you on a PlayStation fan site doesn't mean that ''many'' don't see this as an issue.
Would've been a cool game if it worked more like the classic zoo tycoon. And if the animals didn't look as outdated as disco music from the previous decennium.
I can play Uncharted 4 on my PS5. But if I want to get the performance mode, I have to pay €50 (buy the whole game again, plus another game). That just doesn't make any sense, no matter how you cut it.
@Fight_Teza_Fight "Take-Two" isn't even an IP. And "It Takes Two" is just a saying, and actually fits the game. It's not like the devs were thinking of a loophole to misuse Take-Two's name.
And Zenimax somehow has the rights to every game with Prey in the name. Utter BS.
I was actually looking for a mug, so I bought the PS1, was a tad expensive considering shipping was just as expensive as the mug itself, but it looks nice.
