@Titntin You're "uncomfortable" looking at a fictional woman's boobs 'n' butt? Your male ancestors are looking down on you with puzzlement and disgust.
@Octaslasher I will move to PC next year and enjoy catching Sony-exclusives for free on the high seas. It's not sleazy. It's a clever business decision.
I find Ubisoft a sad case, akin to a dementia-patient. Once every 10 years or so, they wake up and deliver a fun game like Rayman Legends. But then their eyes glaze over, they slump back in their armchair, and push out another Assassin's Creed turd.
Sony have undoubtedly listened to gamers, and they will announce the following:
1) PS5-Pro price slashed to £200 2) All remakes and remasters BANNED 3) All live-service projects BANNED 4) HQ will move back to Tokyo 5) ALL 1st party studios will release NEW IP next year 6) Half-Life 3 will be a PS-exclusive and will release NEXT WEEK
I am glad this developer (and Shift Up) realises that there is a market for people who like action games, but don't want to be crucified with Soulslike difficulty.
@HMazzy111 I would imagine that a debate with WB would go like this: Us: Stop investing in live-service games ! WB: But Fortnite was a success Us: You cannot re-create lightning in a bottle. WB: But Fornite though Us: Gamers only have a finite amount of time for live-services WB: Yeah but Fornite though Us: Your Hogwarts Legacy was single-player, and the best selling of 2023! WB: But Fortnite though
@breakneck I am always shocked by the low percentage of players that complete games. Sometimes they barely manage to get past the first hurdle. "complete the tutorial...80% of gamers have achieved this"
@OmegaStriver I will be one of those gamers that move to PC next gen. With PS exclusives now on PC, the overbearing number of remakes and sequels, and every developer's stubborn desire to sacrifice 60Hz for ever higher graphical-fidelity, I no longer have any reason to buy future consoles.
@Max_the_German I loved Metro Exodus. It's not all narrow corridors. There are some large hub areas. It is atmospheric and visually spectacular. Somehow, 4A Games made it run at dynamic 4K / 60Hz with ray-tracing. Note that the HDR config screen is broken. I had to change the HDMI RGB range to "Full" on both my console and TV.
@Kanji-Tatsumi $70 does not include tax. USA stores display pre-tax prices because the tax-rate varies by state. So $70 (pre-tax) is roughly the same as £70 (post-tax)
@LN78 I agree. Playstation now port their games to PC, Microsoft now port their games to Playstation, and games are still running at 30Hz in fidelity mode. I've had enough of consoles. I am moving to PC next generation.

Re: Reaction: Why There Are So Many Unnecessary PS5 Remasters for Games That Don't Need Them
@LifeGirl That's disingenuous. Concord failed because it was a hero-shooter costing £40 when there are similar games available for free.

Re: PS6 Is Already Deep in Development, Backwards Compatibility of High Importance
BC for PS6? Thanks Sony. I'm looking forward to playing PS5-remakes of PS4-ports of PS3-remasters of PS2-originals.
Re: PS6 Is Already Deep in Development, Backwards Compatibility of High Importance
@Titntin Publishers want to kill physical games because they do not make any money from the used-game market. That's the one and only reason.
Re: PS5 Pro Reveal Is Already Sony's Most Disliked Console Announcement

Re: Dead Rising's PS5 Remaster Will Strip Bonus Points for Erotic Photos
"Times have changed". No they haven't. Most gamers are straight men, and they like to look at pretty women.
Re: Ghosthunter (PS2) - Overlooked Supernatural Shooter Should Be a Cult Classic
I remember this, but didn't like it. The protagonist's appearance was based on Tyler Durden from Fight Club.

Re: Sony Increasingly Focused on PS5 Playtime Alongside Hardware Sales

Re: Sony Committed to Better First-Party Games, 'Richer' Experiences, More PS5 Users
@OmegaStriver I will be one of those gamers that move to PC next gen. With PS exclusives now on PC, the overbearing number of remakes and sequels, and every developer's stubborn desire to sacrifice 60Hz for ever higher graphical-fidelity, I no longer have any reason to buy future consoles.
Re: Hundreds of Huge PS5, PS4 Games Discounted for the Weekend
@Max_the_German I loved Metro Exodus. It's not all narrow corridors. There are some large hub areas. It is atmospheric and visually spectacular. Somehow, 4A Games made it run at dynamic 4K / 60Hz with ray-tracing. Note that the HDR config screen is broken. I had to change the HDMI RGB range to "Full" on both my console and TV.

@ATaco That excuse is nonsense, because the uncensored outfits are available on the physical version of the game.

Re: SMT 5: Vengeance Offers '75 More Hours of Gameplay', Says Atlus
@crashcontrol I was being sarcastic. This is Atlus. They will find an excuse to re-release it. Maybe a 5th-anniversary edition in 2026.

Re: $70 Games Are Just a Phase, Believes Saber Interactive CEO
@Kanji-Tatsumi $70 does not include tax. USA stores display pre-tax prices because the tax-rate varies by state. So $70 (pre-tax) is roughly the same as £70 (post-tax)
Re: Most PS5 Players Say 60fps Is a Must
I believe there are a large number of gamers who don't realise that many PS2 games ran at 60 Hz.
