I have a fairly serviceable PC (RTX 4070 SUPER), yet I have ZERO problems playing 30 FPS games. He'll, I've played through Gears of War trilogy last month and had a blast. A good game is a good game. Really don't game gamers that can't play a game due to its 30 FPS cap.
One of the basics of a product debut is: make sure the product is good and delivers, then spend twice the development cost on marketing. It might sound a bit dumb at first, but the more you think about the logic behind it, the clearer it gets.
@kappasig390 You're in for a great ride. It's a story driven, linear game with great combat and a fascinating story. The graphics were really good for its time (UE3 game, for better or worse) and the futuristic environments are lovely.
Despite what the comments might have made you think (Forza Horizon and Starfield). Gears of War easily ranks as one of the best game series one ever played. I haven't played the last two entries, but the trilogy man... It was PERFECT. The sound of shotgun kills and headshots... Perfection.
I'm glad, despite what the vocal minority might make you think, Gears of War (at least so far) is a distant first. The Gears of War (especially the original trilogy) is one of the best game series of all time.
Not sure if it's me being nostalgic, or if it's by chance that this game clicked with me, but it makes me wonder: why on Earth nobody's talking about Gears of War?! I haven't played the last two entry, but to me the original trilogy is easily one of the best trilogies in the history of videogames.
Actually so good that I would happily buy a gamepass just to play them or buy them separately at full price on Ps5. Hopefully the Gears of War trilogy remake proves to be true and we get a remade (or remaked?!) trilogy on PS5.
@thefourfoldroot1 I'm sorry but: 1- The topic is about software, not hardware 2- Yes, first party releases might be a small fraction of total releases, but they rank among the best selling and most played games. Not just that, having first party games is like having salt in chips. Salt might comprise just 0.001% of the total weight of chips, but remove it and most people wouldn't enjoy having chips. Just like that.
@saffeqwe You simply boil down the pricing to the number of games, disregarding all else. It's like buying 7 wrecked 1987 Toyotas for 200,000 pounds and calling it a great deal.
@RainbowGazelle it's due to higher sensitivity to minor changes in electrical currents in controllers which allows more precise and responsive controls. The downside is that it's also more sensitive to faults.
So many people got disappointed then. PlayStation showcase is supposed to show stuff that wouldn't be shown otherwise in any other showcase. But it was a third-party and multiplatform showcase, and MOSTLY in CG.
The I've thing that cannot be excused or justified AT ALL is the state of communications or marketing. I can fairly say that this is by far the most horrible PR policy I've ever seen from PlayStation. To be honest even worse from 2005-2007 era. At least they communicated whatever the hell was going on. It's like things happening in random nowadays, or we need to rely on rumors or low level gossip to get any idea what's going on.
In my opinion they should pass a law, or whatever that mandates companies to release the resources necessary to host the game servers on any PC by players, then shut down the servers.
@Richnj Yeah I believe they should be this way as well! I take broken personal opinion rather than a single digit summarizing the whole experience. That's why we have split community around some games like Death Stranding.
Remember back in the day scores were split into different categories?
Graphics, Story, Gameplay, Controls, etc?! I firmly believe that system was far far superior to the single score we (unfortunately) use today. That way each game should have a Progress/Unlocks/Grind or something like that and leave the decision to the players based on their own priorities.
@get2sammyb
I believe they would not interfere work any of the BUNGIE's games. But they can offload Sony owned games to them. For example Bungie creating a new Resistance. This way, no Bungie game is exclusive, but they've developed exclusively for PlayStation. Anyway the income alone is worth it.
I know PvZ is written off by many as yet an other online only piece of turd. But trust me, it's not ehat you think. I HATE online games, never got the appeal of games like COD, numerous Battle Royale games or anything else like that, but this game is so light hearted and enjoyable when you play in split screen that sets it apart. Fot the record there's a fairly big offline world to go around and complete tasks in co-op.
It might be an unpopular opinion, but give Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville a chance. Especially if you want to play a fun game with your significant other. It supports split screen and it's so much fun. At least our little family enjoys it.
Ok, just signed up and came out of stalking to say this: Hassan Kahraman in Persian means: Best Hero. Given that Kojima is obsessed with the word hero, it might have something to do with him. I might be my imagination though.

It's heartbreaking that nobody recalls the great Remember Me. That game put them on my radar. Such a good game.
