There's miscasting, and then there's miscasting THIS badly.

Def never touching the dub now.

@NEStalgia Yes, but that's a far cry from your original comment that they have most of the WRPG crowd. They're clearly trying to appeal to that market (arguably even corner it) but that doesn't necessarily mean they have it. And given the sales split ESTIMATES (I will wholly admit they're, for the most part, estimates via third party trackers and not set in stone) seem to indicate that games such as Fallout 4 and Skyrim's Special Edition sold far more on the PS4 than the Xbox One, it stands to reason that the PS platform still has a very hefty amount of the WRPG crowd, and thus was likely prioritized because of it.

@NEStalgia Why do you think Xbox has most of the WRPG crowd, "especially Baldur's Gate"? Do you have sales data showing this, or are you pulling that out of thin air based on Xbox buying some studios and thus assuming?

Yeah, they made a public announcement about the free upgrade, so of course, they're... trying to be sneaky about it.

Nah, I will be buying the PS5 version. Physically.

I sincerely hope it bothers most of you.

This certainly is a take.

Not a good one, but a take.

Which is becoming par for the course on this site.

Giannis won a ring and dropped a 50 piece after his knee turned into an elbow and they still gave him the same score he had last year.

And there's no way Jrue shoulda dropped a point or Middleton should be sub-90 smh

@themightyant Absolutely nothing about this is messy OR unclear. You can upgrade your PS4 version for $20, and then to PS5 later for $10 more, or you can just jump right to PS5 for $30. This is not complicated.

Ahh, THERE'S the melodrama I've come to expect from this site.

Only game I've ever had a crash with was Cold War, weirdly enough.

I'm actually gonna rent it first as Roguelikes are not usually my thing. If I wind up liking it though, I am def buying at full price. This game was a risk, and we really can't complain about PlayStation not wanting to take risks if we don't support them when they do.

This SHOULD be a no-brainer.

@TheAdza You sure about that? 👀

I been TOLD people that they were putting a TON of work into this one

This game is a steal at $20.

@Jaz007 Fam, he literally has a VAGUE resemblance to Holland depending on the angle. Another image of him:

Another image of the character model:

Y'all really need to stop trying to force a resemblance where there's really not much of one.

@CaptainBasch They've been doing that since he posted he got the part on Insta.

@TheAdza You might have a point if they actually WERE selling it separately and didn't allow BC with the previous game. It's being presented as an optional add-on with enhanced features taking advantage of the new console. And I'd love to know how the haptics, raytracing, the new character models, the new physics, enhanced city, etc. are somehow doable on the PS4? I mean, you do realize, as they've articulated many times, that MM on PS5 is also not the same as MM on PS4? It's not going to have the same new models, the faster load times, the more vibrant, living NYC, etc.

@Ashina Except, he didn't lie. They still have games being made for the PS5 only, designed around it. We all just kind of assumed which ones were which.

I honestly don't have a problem with this and I find the effort to paint the upgrade system as hilarious.

Guess I'm a shill because I comprehend what I read.

It's a 10/10 for me. Though I did kinda have to guess on the coding language. Heh.

Bought two copies, actually. My CE got delayed into next week, so I nabbed the Digital Edition too. lol

@Mythologue Your assumption that this is all about graphics and draw distance is... incorrect, to say the least.

@TheNewButler Benchmarks aren't the whole story either, fam. That's just gonna confirm hard numbers.

@Xaessya Well, obviously. But as-is, all we're speaking on, or even able to speak on definitively, is hardware.

And if the devs are excited, that makes me a bit excited as well. People are mockingly calling this the Cell 2.0, but I don't recall devs being absolutely effing excited to use that. This system, they are.

@nessisonett Uncharted isn't going to be a shot-for-shot adaptation, fam. It's why they set it when Drake was a kid; they can avoid that altogether and tell an original story without having to worry about potentially butchering the narrative of one of the games.

@PcTV Psst.

BotW was on the Wii U too.

@TheBuzz Or the game is backwards compatible and these features can be added via console-specific updates?

Well considering UHD covers are black anyways, it seems fitting.

The clickbait was strong with this one.

In fairness, a lot of PS1 games in general haven't aged too well. The same can be said for most N64 games as well.

That gen was an interesting transitional time for gaming, to be sure, but I feel nostalgia goggles do blind people to the flaws of the gen overall.

That said, there were some real gems on both consoles, and if people want to play whatever I'm all for letting them do it.

I think a lot of the "issues" with Ryan's comments though were that he'd be put on the spot and asked questions about decisions whose motivation he wasn't privy to, and so he tried to come up with a PR response on the fly. Now that he DOES have that info, he seems to be handling himself much, much better in interviews.

@Hengist Actually, there are indeed X-shaped crosses. St. Andrew's Cross, for example, was shaped this way. That's why so many flags, especially European or European-inspired have that X shape in them.

@WanderingBullet There's actually a good bit of resemblance between the game character and that comic panel, tbh, especially in the chin.

Honestly though using the "just like the comics" vs "nothing like the comics" argument doesn't hold too much real weight, given that different artists can draw the same character very differently.

Case-in-point: Mary Jane Watson.

Really, the best they could do is their own designs. Which they did.

I'm tellin' ya, this game WILL be used as a recruitment tool, too. Gonna be a lot of talent discovered in here.

The fact that this is based on the IDW comic series is enough to guarantee I'm checking this game out.
