This is purely the consequence of whoever greenlit this project. The game overall didn't seem broken or poorly made. It just wasn't a needed nor desired game by anyone. The marked is flooded with games of this genre and with that art style. It should never have been approved.
@get2sammyb I mean, this article is practically ignoring all negative points that they pointed, like flickering, shimmering, performance-mode settings with higher res... It is not about the overload of reporting, but the overload of biased reports that ignore the negatives and also had a misleading comparison that an editor here made up on photoshop and then replaced the comparison after people took notice.
Wait a sec... where did that FF image came from? It is not in any place in the article mentioned as the source of the news. And it says in the news that cnet (the source) is the only on to have tested the ps5pro.
The PS5 pro is US$820 simply if you do not want less features than the base PS5, since it does not come with a disk-drive nor a stand.
This is just insane...
And you'd think they would have learned their lesson after the PS3 horrible launch.
At this price, this will die faster than the psvr2.
Edit: Just realized it does not come with a stand or a disc drive... at US$ 700. This is ridiculous.
This will be $20 in six months, and it will be patched and fully functional, with better visuals, as it is with every Ubisoft launch. Then MAYBE I'll get this.
@nessisonett they did made her look younger... which could also be a misinterpretation... she acted childish in the original because of trauma, not age.
I'm really hoping for the best. The team has potential, the original story is great, and the original game could really improve with new visuals and gameplay mechanics. The only real nitpick I have so far is in Maria's Design. The whole point of her design was to be sexualized, since she is a representation of a straight man sexual desires.... I mean, this was one point that really differentiated SH2 from games from that era... female characters were not just male gaze and had a meaning, and the new design makes me feel like all that went over their heads.
Xbox is slowly leaving the console manufacture market, nintendo has a different slice of the market, cross-gen has just ended... There is really no need for a refresh, just wait.
So, a game no one wanted is not selling... Hope WB understands live-service games are over and stop forcing their studios into creating those games, and that they do not shutdown Rocksteady for this.
@Carlore_Preventis A lot of words and judgment of me as person when you don't even know me. I was analysing this person's writing, not his character. And you don't even know if I have some sort of professional background on this subject... maybe, just maybe, I know a thing or two about this stuff.
@Carlore_Preventis Not pretentious at all. The review is making a critique not about what the game tries to do, but what the reviewer was expecting. It is as simple as that.
Look, part of this Remaster is a *.ini file that changes LOD and shadow res. The other part is completely unaware of the games own message about violence and violent actions. The whole point of the game is about revenge and brutalitty, then they release a remaster with a game mode that turns violence fun???!!!
And everything will be delayed because of bug fixes needed after launch, then they will cut this list in half because the community will die after a few months.
Honestly, I dont really like the idea of a ps5 pro. Current-Gen games are releasing just now and the U5 engine is an unoptimized mess. I want better software, not better hardware to brute force through bad optimiziation.
This is not as bad as it sounds. There are so many Live service online games, mostly with predatory microtransactions and overall dull repetitive gameplay loops. Happy that they are sticking to what they are amazing at. Rocksteady did not get this chance.
if you are complaining online about the abusive price and the fact it is just a port and still buying it, you are part of the problem and the reason products like this are made.
It was not a bad game, just a mediocre one. It is quite great now, and I bet this Update will make it even better. It just got too much hate by conservative brats.
Its not that many people, we are talking about reddit users, not only that, we are talking about fanboys, not only that, we are talking about fanboys that finished the game, not only that, we are talking about SOME of those fanboys on reddit that finished the game. It is just a very loud minority that makes stuff seem more serious than it is.
If its is a reboot, I can already imagine WB paywalls all over it. Fewer characters "to be faithfull to the original game" in the base game, then offering expensive DLC to have characters we already have on MK11.
@AinsleyE The biggest problem with frostbite is that it was good (and still is) only for one type of game. Almost everything that was not meant for a first-person-shooter game had to be made by studios that were learning to use Frostbite, and not only that, the engine upgrades were not shared among the studios, so if one studio made steps in adapting Frostbite for their game, another studio would have to start all over, even if mechanically their games would behave the same.
I mean, blame it on Capcom for trying to remove most sexist development on Ada (a needed move), but failing to add anything else of a personality to this character.
Honestly, I dont understand how Ubisoft still makes money. Games are soo poorly designed, uninspired and bloated. Almost all aspects of it are already robotic and without soul. How the hell taking more soul out of it by using AI is a good decision?

Re: Reaction: Why There Are So Many Unnecessary PS5 Remasters for Games That Don't Need Them
I can see remasters for old PS2 games, maybe for old PS3 games.
PS4 games don't need remasters nor remakes. This is just silly.

Re: 'It Felt Like Putting New Glasses On,' Claims First PS5 Pro Hands On
Hope PushSquare will be critical about this release and not just offer publicity to Sony.
Re: Talking Point: Is PS5 Pro Way Too Expensive?
@bindiana I honestly think it will.
It will join the PSVR2 line of abandoned products.

Re: PS Plus Premium Brings Back Classic Alone in the Dark Horror for PS5, PS4
They should add the PS2 version of alone in the dark.
The PS1 version is just horrible.
Re: Poll: How Much Do You Care About 60fps on PS5?
We should talk and insist more on 40 fps modes.
It offers a great balance of quality/performance, and a lot of TVs support 120hz now.

Re: Hands On: Suicide Squad Takes a Lot of Getting Used to, and It May Not Be Worth It

Re: Rec Room Dev 'Can't Justify' a PSVR2 Port
If PSVR2 was compatible with psvr1 games I bet more people would be interested in it.
The library on PSVR2 is great, though small.
