The thing that puzzles me is that tlou 2 remastered at least already renders at 1440p internally and then upscales to a resolved 4k image. Is PSSR supposed to be the magic bullet to a problem that doesn’t really exist?
What a joke. I'm never usually one to advocate for people losing their jobs, but Big Phil and Matt Booty have to go. Complete and utter incompetence. If good folks like Tango and Arcane can get the chop, what happens when the next game from id software, for example, doesn't meet some arbitrary COD influenced goal posts?
The worst part is the industry is probably still facing at least another year of layoffs of this scale. Very heartwarming to see devs like Remedy open their doors, on the bright side. Absolutely heartbreaking stuff.
I always thought sony owned the IP after Japan Studio was shuttered. Doubt they’d do anything without Fromsoft being involved in some way though. Would be there day one for anything new related to Bloodborne. Just kind of assumed they’d lost the source code at this point after having done nothing with it for so long 🤣
It's not like this was coming out anytime soon anyway, but undoubtedly we're going to have to wait at the very least another year or two before this comes out. PS6 release definitely isn't out of the question now
Hasn’t got anything on Street Fighter II Ultimate Bass Boosted World Warrior of All Time Extreme Super Mega Turbo Edition Redux : Remastered and Definitive (Part 1 of 7)
Whilst I’m sure a great deal of effort has gone into this, there is such a thing as diminishing returns. Especially when the first game is still so easily accessible for a fraction of the price. In a world where the resident evil remakes exist, stuff like this just seems so cynical.
State of play had far more surprises and made for a more exciting show. Microsoft/Bethesda’s conference focused on almost exclusively on major previously confirmed games (thinking of starfield)
I know it might seem sacrilege, but I’ve always thought this is how dlc should be done. Additional stuff that, should you not want to buy, you can just ignore as you’ve already got hundreds of characters to play with
How can you, with a straight face, call yourself a AAA studio when you can’t manage your hundreds of employees and virtually limitless money pit to push out a sodding scoreboard on time? The worst part is, the devs definitely knew this was going to be a shambles, and have just been jerked around by management. No wonder so many end up choosing to go independent.
As much as it sucks this game was canned, I’m kind of glad it didn’t. There’s so much potential in the IP, (and I’m saying this as a massive uncharted fan) it feels kind of reductive to just do a third person cover shooter.
It depends what kind of experience the developer is going for. Sometimes stories really do justify taking near odd 100 hours to complete (Red Dead 2, for example), taking time to establish character growth that just cannot be accomplished in the time it takes to complete an Uncharted game, for instance.

Re: The Last of Us Part 1 and 2 Will Both Look and Perform Better than Ever on PS5 Pro
@Loamy ahh I understand. Does always seem to be granular detail (hair, grass etc.) that suffers in upscaling techniques like this tbf

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Delayed on PS5 Until 14th February
Definitely wasn't in response to Ghost of Yotei but probably couldn't have been timed any worse lol
Re: PS5 Pro Announced, Costs $700 and Out in November
@VaultGuy415 Can't really blame you, that being said. Some PC ports recently have shockingly bad

Honestly for that price point you might as well just drop a grand on a PC

Re: Busted! The Game Awards Stage Invader Arrested After Bill Clinton Interruption
@EaglyTheKawaiiShika yh fair enough it's pretty niche. Apparently the kid's some far right streamer who's been on infowars. Nasty piece of work
Re: Dead Space PS5 Remake Will Be One Shot Like God of War
I haven't been this excited for a game in ages. January can't come soon enough!

Re: Rumour: Massive GTA 6 Leak Posts 90 Videos Online
@ED_209 oh yeah forgot about that. Leaking a game's entire source code definitely trumps this
Re: Rumour: Massive GTA 6 Leak Posts 90 Videos Online
Would I be wrong in saying biggest leak ever? Only other thing that comes to mind is the tlou 2 stuff

Re: Still Playing Fall Guys on PS4? You'll Need to Re-Download It via the New Launcher
Unless there’s some mentally dangerous bug that threatens to brick playstations, I’m struggling to think of a reason why this could be necessary.
Re: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga DLC Adds Mandalorian, Rogue One Characters, More

How can you, with a straight face, call yourself a AAA studio when you can’t manage your hundreds of employees and virtually limitless money pit to push out a sodding scoreboard on time?

Re: Boba Fett Features in New Footage of the Cancelled Star Wars 1313
As much as it sucks this game was canned, I’m kind of glad it didn’t. There’s so much potential in the IP, (and I’m saying this as a massive uncharted fan) it feels kind of reductive to just do a third person cover shooter.

It depends what kind of experience the developer is going for.
