@rjc-32 ''We’re aware that long-time fans of the Gran Turismo series strongly desired the return of the GT Campaign mode*, and now, having seen the trailer''
That's just stupid. Everything needs an online connection these days. My mother got a new oven that needed to be connected to WiFi.
I have a stable internet connection, but there are several days a year when the internet it down for a couple of hours, even up to a day at times. Last year I wanted to play MGS5 when my internet was down, I couldn't even boot it up.
@TheCollector316 That was the point of my argument, but you're looking at it the wrong way. Why is the PS5 version $10 more expensive? You don't have to pay extra for a PC game if you want to run it at max settings.
@get2sammyb Very true. Though I think that has to do with the fact that you cannot upgrade from a physical PS4 to a digital PS5 copy if you have the PS5 without disc drive. So effectively everyone is getting screwed because of this. I think it's also part of the reason why those expensive editions don't even come with the physical disc, to ensure it's a digital copy that allows you to upgrade it to the PS5 version if you ever want to. Again, it's another mind boggling decision, but it seems that they want to avoid that one situation at all costs: where people have the (physical) game, but cannot upgrade.
Not saying it's the right decision, but I think this is why it is the way it is.
The upgrade is stupid, but it makes sense. The PS5 version is $10 cheaper, if upgrading was free, you might as well buy the PS4 version and upgrade to PS5. The actual question is why the PS4 version should be $10 cheaper. If you buy a game on PC, you don't get to pay less because you have a potato PC and run it at lower settings.
@Master_Shake Well, yeah, I mean IF the PS4 version is $10 cheaper, it makes sense. Otherwise everyone would just buy the PS4 game and upgrade to PS5 for free if that saved $10.
@get2sammyb ''Does the organisation not understand that the market for these Collector’s Editions are the very same people who demand physical versions of everything?''
Maybe that's the point, to sell the expensive limited edition AND the regular game. The people who buy the expensive limited edition are probably in a position to buy the physical game on top of it as well.
Definitely sounds like ND will be there with an announcement, and they then have to justify why they are remaking TLOU, doing TLOU2 multiplayer, and a TLOU2 PS5 edition, and why that's more important than Savage Starlight.
The question is how many consoles did they test? Probably just one. One may run a little hotter than the other, but the average for the models could be the same. Or maybe the ambient temperature was a little higher. But it's all within the safe range. And like many others have pointed out, they didn't even measure the internals. Too many questions to draw any meaningful conclusions.
@Amppari I think you mean just you. I'm glad it wasn't like every other game these days. Even from a gameplay perspective, it was quite a unique experience.
@UltimateOtaku91 To be fair, TLOU2 was at least twice as long as the average ND game, maybe even more than that, so you already got "more" by just buying the game itself compared to their previous releases. Now, the question is whether this will be a full price title AND feature MTX, cause in that case it's a big no from me.
@sajoey True, but the question is they they make enough to break even or turn a small profit, or did they not make enough according to the investors? Even successful games can be deemed a failure by large corporations.
Don't give them any more coverage, that's what they want after all. It's just a big hoax, and the publicity is probably getting them ad revenue or something.
@b1ackjack I can sorta live with Quill if the writing is good. But Drax looks a little weird I agree.
I get that they're inspired by the comic looks with the bright colours, but the problem is that this game has a realistic art style. The bright colours clash a little with the realistic art style. If it had a comic art style (why isn't this a thing?), it would look a lot better I think.
@PSoneboi I think 99% haven't read the comics, me neither. I can only compare it to the films, and it doesn't live up to it. Drax is extremely boring in this version. It's kinda hard to say how exactly they imagined the comic character, since that's only a visual medium, but either way I'm not a big fan. It's just not good acting or writing.

Re: PS Plus September 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
@R1spam Neat! Don't remember if I've claimed Hitman 1, but I don't think that game is too expensive if I ever want to play all the levels in 3.
Re: PS Plus September 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
Guess I'll get Hitman. Does that work with importing levels to Hitman 3?
And Overcooked is nice for the odd day I'm doing mp with friends, though I really should get another 2 controllers for that.
