Well, that's the best you can do now, play the first game! ;P

@Facelord I'm really not so much on the board with raytracing so far, considering what hit it takes on performance, the benefits - to my aging eyes - seem neglible. In the heat of battle - and most games are fast paced these days - I don't think you would notice raytracing much. Then again, in a game like Elder Scrolls for example, I guess it would look stunning, but there is no way they can deliver 4K, 60FPS AND raytracing and hdr - at least not at the beginning of this generation.

@Wavey84 Yeah I agree with you, but you know, you can can wow people with 4K resolution in screenshots, not so much with framerates... but as you said, we should move forward and use videos instead of images to convey an impression of a game - but that point is moot also, since most consumer devices can't display beyond 60 fps.

Then on the other hand, I just go outdoors, shoot my bows and enjoy life in whatever-K-and-FPS-my-eyes-deliver-to-my-brain!

Also, if you haven't leaped onto the 4K train yet (I haven't), to make the best from it you're at least looking at another 500 to get a reasonable, gaming-ready HDR 4K TV. Still, all combined, cheaper than a reasonable 4K PC.

Given the power of this thing and the cost of a comparable PC, 599 seems legit and justified to me, when the Switch is 329 in most areas.

Brings me right back to X-Wing VS Tie Fighter back in the day. Loved those. Also loved the space missions in the Battlefront Games. Hope this is some sort of blend, with plenty of missions and objectives, and not purely 5 vs 5 arenabattle, which most likely it is...

@Wavey84 This. While I personally prefer 120 fps (but it's a luxury, truly) a ROCK SOLID 60 fps with 1440p resolution is my personal goldstandard. Wish all gaming was adhering to it.

Personally - in the PC gaming space, 1440p and 120 fps has been the sweetspot for me between resolution/fps/cost. FPS far outweigh resolution for me (except when you're working, d'uh). You know what matters even more: fun games. So I truly hope that all that new tech (SSD for example) enable the devs for new concepts, new games like Minecraft, Diablo, DotA and "that game that came before Fortnite, doing the same thing" - basically spawning more or less their own new genres. I'm not so easily wowed by "good" games with perfect graphics, I prefer "perfect games" with "ok graphics" any day!

@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L Same here but just replace the kids with being self-employed... guess that's what "grown up life" is like. Oh Peter Pan, you were so right...

LOVE it how successful it is, it literally spans THREE console generations! LOL!

@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L Bloodborne killed me plenty of times, but eventually, with the right playstyle and weapon (that spear thingy) I beat it together with a mate. But we're sweating blood and tears and had to redo certain sections plenty of times until we knew what worked.

I never beat Demon's Souls - your experience may vary, but I found it to be infuriatingly hard. But for the record, I played Demon's first, long before Bloodborne, so maybe I just got better in that type of games and it isn't that hard at all.

Sorry for not being helpful.

Now remaster Bloodborne to tide us over until Bloodborne 2 in 2021! Thanks!

@Zeke68 Again you don't know the leaks so don't talk about "open minded" I'd love to hear your honest opinion about it once you get to play the game. Not because I want to prove any point, I'm genuinely more interested in your opinion than the game itself.

Destiny. Lol. Such a resemblance!

@Zeke68 You're free to enjoy the game, but you shouldn't insult anyone if you have no clue what the leaks are about. I highly recommend waiting for a few reviews first.

I was hoping for 120 fps for next gen. I don't care for 4K. Now I get 30 fps. Well well well.

We've long reached a point where graphics alone can't impress anymore as it could a few years ago. Concepts can impress, gameplay mechanics, worldbuilding, etc. I think that the Switch in it's current state will be easily able to hold it's stance for a while longer, without going "PRO" or whatever. The only saving grace could be backwards compatibility, so that people can upgrade their hardware and continue playing what they already play. But if there is NO visible benefit - like 4K upscaling or solid 60/120 fps, why would you spend 400-600 bucks on a new console, that doesn't have to offer much innovation besides quicker loading times - at least at launch!

@Jay767 Ellie was gay in the first one too and I had absolutely no problem with that. There are far worse problems than the sexual orientation of someone.

@MsJubilee N'ah they're avoiding the "big" surprise ...

@koaeinferno I feel the same. But it's supposed to be an awful experience full of hatred. What a shock coming from Animal Crossing... :/

It DOES look awesome. I wish I wasn't tainted by the actual content of the leaks. I hope for a continuation of the bonding between Joel and Ellie, my favorite Videogame pairing of all time. I'm curious how it will review.

@Oscarjpc lol

This will be Mandingo vs. Meatcurtain Bonanza! Guess I should preorder now!

@Icey664 Japanese Tentacle Hermaphrodite READY GO!

@Oscarjpc It's overhyped. I know.

NO less I want from GTA 6. Thank you.

Theres a simple solution to this. The internal, hell-fast SSD should act as a buffer of sorts. Just like back in the day when SSHDs came out. Where you had a huge storage part (external SSD in this case, 2 TB for example) and a very fast buffer part (internal custom SSD). The system could then keep the often-played data on the faster drive and move things around as needed.You won't be playing more than 3 or 5 titles at once anyways, so this should work perfectly well. Even on "slow" SSDs shoveling HUGE junks of data back- and forth is only a matter of a few short minutes and could happen perfectly fine in the background.

Well I don't want to talk to my tech so I'd disable it (if possible) instantly. Besides that doesn't trophy hunting then become a bit meaningless depending on how big of an advice/help you get for coughing up money? Anyways, people that cough up money for progress or finding your own way don't get the whole concept of gaming anyways...

I'll wait for the inevitable cuscene-bonanza on youtube!

1 and 2 are still the best imho. With a solid online experience I'll play the heck out of thouse, just as I did back then, in grimy arcades, when I was like 12!

Wow that really is sad (COD) BUT GTA V really is and was a behemoth!

Ok well... this looks like it has way more "beef" to it than I thought. Loved P5, will get this for Switch. But when will it be out?

@CmShepard True that!

I don't want to offend anyone, but thinking about the time "wasted" so he can show off 200 little png icons is staggering and mind boggling to me!

It will be a user-fillable-cartridge. Once everything has moved to digital, players will be able to download their favorite games from the PS store and then write them onto a cartridge and print a sticker for it, for safekeeping in the physical world. It will use a certain mediaformat inside the cartridge that will only allow to be written ONCE. Of course it will be hacked even before it comes up.

Obviously this is all made up.

@AhmadSumadi If you want the best cosmetic stuff, you've got to pay.

@FullMetalWesker Well Overwatch was never meant to have a story, it's a competitive PVP teamplay game and most people are interested in it for exactly THIS reason. I enjoyed Overwatch for a while until I noticed it's matchmaking is even worse than that of HotS, but I couldn't care less for a "thrown together story". Now if they announced a proper Diablo MMO, that'd be something different. But I respect different opinions. I for my part think it IS incredibly lazy and a cashgrab out of the rulebook.

@DanM Exactly.

@OmegaStriver All the cool doods that made Blizzard great are long gone. This is just another Activision puppet trying to make as much profit as possible. If they sold the DLC pack with story and pve content as a one-time-ingame purchase for those, that are interested, it would be fair.

Also, about the graphical overhaul, you can also do this in the existing game, give players the option to play with "classic graphics engine" or "enhanced". If the rest of the game is shared between OW1 and OW2 anyways, what difference does it make? Similar things have been done in games like EverQuest and their own World of Warcraft.

This is ridiculous. Also you could see that the gameplay trailers were slapped together for Blizzcon. It's essentially just a reskinned D3. Wow.

Everyone's going open world, like Ubisoft. Then we'll get a map that a junkload of icons have been puked over. Yay.
Sorry, I might just be tired of this all.

Riot Games' announcements were way more exciting. Let's see how that turns out.

this seems so stupid and unneccesary... why not call it a "mission pack" why call it OW2?! Confusing.

It looks like D3 with D2 textures. Fair enough. But if there is nothing new, tactical and enticing in the endgame it will just be the same game I've been playing the past 6 years. Let's wait and see about those ingame purchases...

WHY?
Just make an addon containing coop, new chars and the story mode. Why call it Overwatch 2? Will Overwatch 2 contain all content of Overwatch 1? This is just confusing and stupid imho.

So basically it's a storefront for ingame purchases like anything else out these days...

@sabaki08 Yeah, the userbase is split into people with good looking games and bad looking games!

I know what you mean, I still don't think it's a good idea.

@sabaki08 I doub't they'll split the installbase this early on. But who knows!

I guess they're good if they manage to stay below 500. 399 would be a dream though.

@Oriion Yeah I followed all of that to a point - then just lost interest and never looked back. Been a fan since Battlefield 1942 (the very first one). Too bad what happened (to gaming in general).

@Splat I don't get it. I don't care for gender or sexuality when it comes to videogames. It's fictional characters and as long as they are well written and believable in their own universe, I don't mind any of that. I just despise when politics, gender and sexuality take a place in the spotlight front and center above all else, no matter what direction any of it goes. But so far, I don't think that's the case here, it might just be "too grim" for my personal taste, as I enjoy unwinding and taking a breather from the real world with all that political garbage and people devoid of any skill or willingness to argue like grown ups just throwing tantrums.
