I think we can a expect a Slim PS5, like sony always did with their consoles. Given the global economic state, the lack of current-gen only tittles and how expensive manufacturing has become, I think a PS5 pro is very unlikelly.
@Nepp67 My main issue with the rain is that it is attached to the camera, not the game world. Which means the rain moves with the camera, like an overlay, and it is very distracting and unrealistic in that sense. Not only that, it seems to react very poorly to lighting and shadow, appearing almost too bright compared to rest of the ambient.
Moving your neck as hitting a ball while wearing a VR headset doesnt sound like a good idea. Not a good idea for your neck muscles and for the device safety.
I think its an 8. While everything looks great, there are still some quirks on the way they optimized the game. Culling is very noticable when the camera glitches on the doors, loading times on doors NEED to be gone in future updates, there are many animation issues (just try using a stair pushing and releasing the stick). And some quests are just repeated missions with different assets.
But the atmosphere, graphics, attention to detail, music and combat are amazing
Honestly, it is not about price, since the price is really great for the hardware. Its about poor marketing. No mainstream ads or marketing campaign to show how amazing this headset is and convince people that dont use websites like pushsquare how much of an upgrade this is.
@Darude84 The price is not that absurd considering the software. It is almost half the price of similar PC VR headsets and it doesnt require a $500 graphics card.
Don't know if its only here in Brazil, but this is one of the most expensive games to buy here. The price target has not been properly adjusted for the my region, and games are already quite expensive here. Guess that this is something that contributes for less sales too.
I mean, this entire franchise has always been a PlayStation exclusive, launching it in a new platform, but only the fourth game in a narrative driven franchise seems a little alienating. I don't understand why they didn't release the remastered trilogy before the fourth entry. I bet more people would be interested.
The last single-player Alone In The Dark had quite good ideas, and it was clearly rushed by people who did not understand game development. The fire and physics mechanics were very interesting and unique for the time, and it had interesting ideas. If they give it care and time it deserves, this franchise could turn out great.
This argument is pretty poor. You are basically saying, "if you take the core element of the game, it's not that great" It could be applied to any game that you personally don't like, or that doesn't resonate with you. I could say, if you take modern warfare weapons and narrative from COD, it's just a linear corridor shooter game.
From the trailer, the game has potential, but sure is lacking polish. For this delay so near release makes me believe the core is already done, so it really about making it look better.
@admeister this remake is using the same level layout, same sound files, animation info, camera angles... it is much closer to a remaster than a remake.
I appreciate the higher poly count and more facial expressions, but honestly, camera angle, voice acting, even story seems to be beat by beat like the original. This is a REMASTER, not a remake, and should be priced accordingly.
As is everything related to Sony, communication is the big problem with this. It feels like a cash-grab because communication has been horrible, not showing what are the gameplay changes, the improvements made on the engine compared to part II, and they should always compare it to the remaster, not to the ps3 original, since the ps4 remaster is what is available for everyone.
I'm not convinced that, even with the visual upgrades and gameplay tweaks, this should be $70.
And this is why that edition was sold-out. Bots bought it. I'm very hopeful people are not seeing this remaster/remake hybrid as something worth of full price.
Honestly, the remaster looked great and this remake looks just like the second game, which was a PS4 tittle. Nothing in this trailer screams next-gen. The only way this remake could be justified was if it had amazing visuals that far surpassed what we already had on PS4.
I doubt Spyro and Arkham Knight will ever have a 60fps mode. Spyro has movements and physics attached to framerate. On PC you can unlock it and Spyro jumps slower and sometimes slides on the ground.
Arkham Knight streaming was based on 30fps cap. On PC it was a horrible mess, and even after many patches, it still stutters like hell on high framerates.
@GeneJacket Yes, I know. But these are old games. I can only imagine what they can achieve with better online and hardware capabilities. Instead, Capcom seems to focus on the shooter type of crowd...
I honestly think a multiplayer version of RE could work of they focused more on puzzle and horror aspects of the franchise and not on action and killing. Would be great to have to solve puzzles in different mansions, labs, with players doing different things.
This feels to me like a better spin-off than making characters battle.
I mean, I people are stupid enough to waste money on ***** games just to get a virtual trophy of no real value, let them be stupid. That's capitalism and human stupidity walking side by side.
I'm shocked Sony did not think of a proprietary way to time the gameplay to the trial hours and is actually expecting developers and publishers to do this work while Sony keeps the income all for itself... This is really madness.
I mean, unless you are a shareholder, you shouldn't be cheering for a company to have bigger market share, since it means less competition, less effort to appeal to consumers, higher prices and lower product quality,
@IonMagi Sony is actually being more honest than Xbox. Vrr will work and improve the feel of games that can't keep a constant capped framerate. This is how it works on Xbox.
Sony is actually incentivizing developers to unlock their frame rate and make their dynamic resolution scaling less restrict so games could reach better visuals and framerates taking VRR into consideration.
@lolwhatno I honestly never thought I would like it. Specially because it does feel like a walking simulator at first, and I find most of Kojima's writing inaccessible... but it does have a uniqueness, and if you accept its different approach on gameplay and story, there is something special for you to enjoy.
@lolwhatno It is a very unique game. I have really enjoyed it after the "director's cut". Keep an open mind that it will not be like other games, and enjoy how creative the world and multiplayer interactions were made.
This pics how nothing. They are highly treated and edited promo shots. This game is out in 10 days and no real footage of gameplay. It is clear it won't be good.
My bet is that it will look worse than PC on ultra (less vegetation and density) but with RT reflections on cars.
They will charge full price with no ps4-ps5 path, while companies like Capcom just announced 3 game upgrades for free.
They are not showing any screenshots (other than 3 very edited and obviously photoshop-treated pics), any videos and no price.
While the game will be out in 11 days.
This smells like a train wreck, just like the Definitive trilogy
It was dead on arrival. It didn't share anything with the original game, the 18+ monkey was so stupid and the whole concept looked like a compilation of worst Ubisoft practices (before nft).
People who still bought it and are still buying are part of the problem. If you keep giving them money, they will keep trying to see how much they can get away with.
Honestly, that was the right call. The remake looked like a PS3 Remaster. After what ME and RE franchises offered, the team really needed to rethink the concept

Re: Poll: Sleeping Dogs Turns 10 Years Old - Are You Still a Fan?
This is one "gta clone" that doesn't feel like a gta clone and surpasses it in many aspects.
A great and engaging game.
Wish they made a 60fps patch for the ps5.

So, we have good news and bad news.
Finally, a female protagonist. It was about time, the humour and sexism on GTA was getting pretty old.
But what about "adding new missions and cities"? So this is going to be a live-service game? Just give me a good single-player game.
