@AFCC yup! The show is great, dude, but as a PSA to uninitiated potential League gamers:
DON'T start playing League after watching Arcane. It ain't it.
Stay away, you'll thank me later.

"Sting — of The Police fame"
I have not laughed so hard in a long time... dude... it's not 1985 so that you need to explain to people who Sting is in relation to the band he just left to release his first solo album. Wake up, dude! Wake up. It's 2021
Also, not that anyone knows any other Sting in music, I mean c'mon... "Sting — of The Police fame" what an arcane way to introduce him. Ooooh, wait...

@LiamCroft pay full price during the biggest discount period. Be a man.
above is an obvious tongue-in-cheek reenactment of youtube's shorts "be a man"

@JAMes-BroWWWn RDR2 is the pinnacle of open world games. The level of detail is staggering. The world feels lived in. Flora and fauna are mesmerizing. There is simply nothing like it. It's a cowboy simulator.

Forza Horizon 5 not being on any of the lists is not the same as Returnal not being there, so don't equate the two.
Maybe I am wrong but I think Forza failed to make the cut due to it's release date.
Returnal got spat on (look, I like to make jokes and talk sh** about Returnal (I hate roguelikes), but real talk, yes, it should have definitely been nominated for some of these categories).

yeah... all that "gitgud" vibe that Returnal was going with... how did that turn out for ya ... maybe it should die and try to get on the list during the next run

@Arisen dude, are you ok? Breathe.
I can see that you like to explain stuff to people about themsleves, but you'll be surprised that it's all only in your head, dude.
Let me demonstrate:
I will never tell you to eat a fat banana. Why, wouldn't I, even though bananas are healthy? Because your mind may think I told you something else.
Now, don't go there! It's a banana, not anything else that resembles it.
So if I would tell you, which I will never, to eat a fat, big banana, it's just that, me being concerned if you are getting enough fiber in your died.
The beauty is in the eye/brain of the beholder. What you make of this text is all in your head.

Take it easy, bro, just take it easy.

@Gremio108 make that 15 and they are still not worth your time. I want to cry went I think how Bluepoint Games did right by Shadow of the Colossus remaster for ps4. That was some dedicated work and respectful to the original.
This? What the hell is this? On ps4/xb/ps5/xbsx. This? No. Absolutely not acceptable.

@eltomo I started San Andreas (game pass) and deleted it after an hour. Disgraceful.

@AK4tywill why, the square one, dude. Duh, it's in the name. C'mon, man, open your eyes 🤣

@Northern_munkey thank you. I thought that post screamed "sarcasm", but I guess there's always that one dude who goes and plays dumb like this hero here @Arisen. I see he also dabbles in mind reading. It ain't review bombing, champ, when the product sucks b***s.

@Arisen please, teach me, master of review bombs, I want to learn.

@nessisonett the point is not to be knob always, just when I see trash, and this article starting with its title and continuing with insinuating that review bombing of TLOU2 (a masterpiece, truly review bombed because of hurt feelings) and this disaster of a release have anything in common is trash.

@RaZieLDaNtE nice post dude, great choices and nicely elaborated. Happy gaming

@nessisonett LoL white knighting for a news agregator with the quality of repetitive sentence structures that (with honorable reviewers exceptions) in most cases could be written by algorithms. Hahahaha. Ok, dude, now that you told me, off I go... bahaha

@nessisonett in this case, we are probably not seeing review bombing but valid customer response and for pushagenda site to call it review bombing is stupud at best and disingenuous at worst.

@Lovespuds well, dude, I was setting it up, but no one hit the home run. @Loftimus is, obviously, not a golfer, and you missed to shut me down by just hitting me with a straight "well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, maaan".
Mark it zero, dude. 😉

@Loftimus yeah, dude, do that. But it's the "video killed the radio star" that I would miss the most not MJ. Honestly tho, I'm just having a piss, my backlog of modern games is so huge that I have very little interest in revisiting old games I already played, unless their new form is truly superior and not kinda, well, if I ignore this or that.

@Loftimus 🤡 chill, dude, chill, I'm not here trying to scam anyone (unlike rockstar). No one says you can't enjoy badly done remasters. It's your personal preference. Just be, "yes, they robbed me blind but I like them" and we're cool, we're cool.

Sorry Liam, can't hear you over the awesome sound of my XBSX running GTA IV.
Nah, just busting your balls, man, that game was drab. Maybe if they put it on game pass. It had good npc behaviour tho, better than 5.

@Loftimus sure, as soon as you stop schilling for corpos.

@PSXDave king

@Loftimus play it? No, thanks, dude, I'm not into that Stockholm syndrome and ****. You have yourself a mighty nice time with your abductors tho.

@Rob_230 @Gamer83 my dudes, it's enough to make a grown-up man cry. Haha, ok, ok, I am kidding, but seriously, I haven't listed missing songs from GTA3, because, honestly I didn't relate that gaming experience with songs therein.
GTA vice city, and San Andreas though? Get outta here, man, those games are 80% music in terms of atmosphere.
After I played vice city, I found somewhere online mp3s of vice city radio stations, and played them in my ancient car via mp3player to audio cassette adapter LOL... had to constantly remind myself to drive like a decent human being during those rides 😂😂😂

@Loftimus here you go again. Dude, I told you these remasters are anything but... and while your myopic take can be a personal preference, taking out songs which are a huge part of these games can't be ignored, so please, go on, tell me how the remasters are great when they are missing:

In the words of the great Mr. T: I pity the fools who paid for this trash.

Dudes, Sony is so freakin behind times. I was lucky to grab a ps5 on amazon during preorder. Pure luck, waking up at 2:30 AM, and preordering with no fuss. Amazon. If not for that stroke of luck, I wouldn't have had it still. I looked ever since. Not a single chance.
You know how I got my xbsx? I went to the hardware section on the ms store on my xb1x, click, click and two days later there it was at my doorstep.

Fake sh**. You can order, sure, just not the thing you really would want, you know, like a ps5 console.

@Loftimus no, you're not being savage on that corpo lollypop because you don't agree with me, it's because you think a billion dollar company didn't have to do better in order to get your money. Have you seen any of the mods for these games? That's on a shoestring budget. I expect more from those who are going to reap millions off of these remasters.
My favorite GTA is vice city which I already purchased multiple times. I've owned every GTA since GTA, so it's not like I am not nibbling on that lollipop, but it's 2021, almost 2022 and what they showed us so far is unacceptable for this day and age, and is just lazy money-grabbing crap.

@Loftimus there is nothing to be right or wrong about. Go back to enjoying that corporate lollypop.

@Loftimus @WallyWest which part of "false" did you two geniuses interpret as "less false", "not false", "false but tomato". C'mon dudes, keep up.
The point of my post was not to say that the original looks good at all or that the remasters don't look better. The point was this (don't @ me, re-read until god rays apear and angel hymn starts playing in your ears):

There are studios which surpass the best rose tainted memory of the originals by making remasters which are true to original but somehow look way better than anyone remembers them looking and there are studios that make remasters that you have to revisit the old version to go, oh yeah, the remaster looks better.
One is stellar work, the other can be done by algorithms and machine learning.
These remasters look like latter (yes, they look better than originals, but what doesn't at this point?).

@Texan_Survivor it's a joke. They are pissing on our rug, man.
Any remaster has no business coming out if it doesn't look at least the same as our false memories of the original. These look worse than I remember them looking. I know it's a false memory but let me give you examples of remastered games that were done so that they look better than our false memory of the originals:

Shadow of the Colossus
Yakuza Kiwami
Wipeout
Another World (20th anniversary)
Grim Fandango remastered
The Secret of Monkey Island, remastered

@playstation1995 can't agree, dude, especially after finishing Mafia remake. Now, THAT'S a remake. These just look like remasters, not much better than a top tear mod team would be able to do.

@Splat not only that, but Colin was the one to bring this site into the light for many a non UK based gamer, back in the day when he was a host of Beyond. An army of people outside UK got here because of Colin.
Pushsquare sure is returning the favor, like covering the stellar success of his "Sacred Symbols" playstation podcast... oh, wait, not a peep.

It was ahead in so many was and stupidly backwards in one thing that killed it on arrival. Prohibitively expensive proprietary storage cards. That was a stellar k**k-up by Sony.
Yeah, back touch insted of l2 r2 triggers was also myopic.
Bought three oled ones and they are still rock solid.
Unlike some dudes in the comments, I enjoyed remote play on it within my wifi (actually, when at home I utilised its direct to ps4 wifi capability) and on foreign networks.

@nomither6 go on, dude, beg. 😉

@amenohi "It perfected everything that started from 3". Exactly, dude.
Actually, your whole comment should be pinned to the top of this sorry thread.
4 is where it's at
There's no contest.

As long as there's no dualsense update as well, I'm fine. Don't make me use cables Sony, it's 2021 ffs.

Boss, I have an idea! Hear me out.
A publicity stunt.
Aaaaaand THEY pay the bill.
Ha! Right?

@TBubs311 searched the comments for this one. XV is a masterpiece (the royal edition, that is).

@WallyWest @themightyant you already have an option to boost ps4 games. There's a setting that you can turn on. The big caveat though is that you won't benefit much from it if the game in question is fps locked. Sure, it will hit that 30 fps with almost 100% reliability but it will never go beyond. In games with unlocked fps, obviously, the game will benefit greatly. There was an article here on push square that went into which games benefit the most from this boost option.
PS5 is way behind XBsX and S in utilising raw power to benefit old "unpatched" games (quotations because they are actually changed to allow for the raw power use - MS just streamlined the process way better than Sony).

Perfect news. I love the free 1 million R$ every month until they release it for ps5.
Also quit yer bit**in... if you don't have a powerfull enough PC to run this with mods @ 4K60fps then the next best thing is this "upgrade" for new gen consoles. All good.

@Shepherd_Tallon LoL the thirst "Partnerships with people like Jade freakin Raymond". Dude, let me know her epic contributions since AC1 so that I could thirst with you.
Had they went with Amy Hennig.. then I could get the excitement. Jade tho... nah, a bussines suit with not much to show for in the last 10 years.

@sonicmeerkat the games are coming, no worries, and once they come xb players will not have to calculate and recalculate. It's: you buy a game, you can play it on any of the SKUs the game is supporting. I am so glad I went into XB at the tail end of previous gen and continued to do the same in this gen.
XBSX has become my main console (not by some conscious choice, it's just where I game more often than anywhere else) with PS5 sitting idle until there's a Sony exclusive I care about.
Smart Delivery is for the players. Sony's utter mess of which version you should get, director's cut pay wall rubbish and all the rest is for the payers.

This game was promising...then it fell flat on its nose. Supreme art style marred by technical issues, great gameplay idea destroyed by unimaginative execution. Last minute switch to free to play model just made it worse. Such a shame and disappointment. Let it be, dead and buried. Do something else.

@Marquez NMS seriously needs a sandbox/creative mode with infinite resources so that one could just play to their heart content. The game has enough content now that it doesn't need to worry if they remove the need to grind for resources there wouldn't be much else to do.

Any game breaking bugs that will never be patched? I mean, it's doublefine. I may try this on gamepass but I am never buying a doublefine game ever since that The Cave scam.

What a coincidence, Sony spamed me today with "turn on two factor authentication". Someone, somewhere applied something and the whole house of cards went down.
Well, I wouldn't have noticed anyway... been playing on xbsx AC Odyssey since they released that sweet 4K@60fps patch.

@AFCC it boggles the mind how PS digital side still operates, basically, on the same level as in 2010.

@AFCC oh, that could be. I'm not even sure how Sony handles physical versions in relation to digital upgrade...
