@Shepherd_Tallon : "this isnโt a replacement for traditional WipEout games on console" Fair enough. Nothing to be upset about then.
Hello, welcome to the Internet. You must be new here. Despite the dev's CEO saying that it isn't a replacement for the console games, you can bet your bottom dollar (Pound? Euro? Barter Shells?) that some people will not read any of that, get so-called 'upset' and take to social media platforms to voice their displeasure about a game NONE of them have played yet.
@Daleaf ermmm, good luck with that mate... 'News at 11: Junior worker Daleaf fired from his job at the local tuna canning plant after challenging his boss to buy him a PlayStation 5! Details, after the break...'
@AFCC I agree with you, very impressive graphics, but not quite there just yet for the full-on CG look. Digital Foundry mentioned in their review of the Sony presentation that the smoke coming from the grates in the street isn't reflected in the puddles. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we have the catalyst for PuddleGate 2.0. Let the internet whining begin (God I hope I'm wrong...)

This may be the first PlayStation Studios game I buy on PC. I have the Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection on PS4 already, and haven't bought UC4 or UCLL yet. It would be good to experience them in their best form (bar getting a PS5 anytime soon) on PC.
If I remember correctly, Digital Foundry claimed this game used a rudimentary form of software-based ray tracing (or something like it) on the PS4, years before hardware-based ray tracing became a thing. Very interesting stuff, if you're into the tech angle of game development.
Thank God. Now finally some people can STFU and I can have justification of my planned purchase of a PS5 around Christmas or for my birthday in January.
Take all the time you need with this one, CDPR. It wouldn't be a good look if the current gen version launches in even a quarter of the state the last gen version was in.
I'll certainly give Hitman 2 a go, since I quite enjoy the act of sniping fools from a distance and discreetly chloroforming my enemies. Don't judge me.
I'll also add Overcooked to my library for when I get a PS5.
Snowrunner has been awesome so far. I haven't gotten to play it as much as I would like to of late, but I'm hoping to devote some more time to it soon.
For as good as the player models have gotten, there is still something incredibly unsettling about their eyes. That said, I haven't watched a real NBA basketball game in eons. Maybe the real life stars are all soulless husks being puppeted by some dark force from the netherworld. In which case, these graphics would be true to reality ๐
I'm hoping to get in a few rounds of GT Sport, FF7 Remake and and maybe, finally, start Horizon Zero Dawn on my trusty PS4. Just gotta get this pesky thing called work outta the way ๐คช
With these seemingly shady proceedings, I'd advise anyone with a PS5 not to install the so-called 'experience' on their system. Never know what potentially brick-worthy piece of code lies within when Blue Box finally gets it 'fixed'.
BALAN WONDERWOR.....
(I realize that's tantamount to blasphemy and cussing around these parts, please don't ban me) ๐
I'd have to say Ratchet and Clank because of:
1. I've really enjoyed previous R&C games in the past
2. It's the only game thus far that has really made me want to get a PS5... in fact, very tempted to do so, but $2,500 Barbados dollars is not an easy pill to swallow.
3. Reading the cool stuff the game does with the DualSense haptics (it plays freaking music!) has not made it any easier (thanks for that, @get2sammyb)
@ShogunRok Point taken. My overall feelings, like many others here, is that E3 in it's current form is no longer necessary. Kinda feels like the companies that took part in it had money burning a hole in their pockets and decided to prop up the ESA to 'keep the tradition alive'.
@Richnj That seems to be the case for some of these new PS5 owners. 'I got the new hotness, so who cares about the console that I spent the last 6-7 years having great experiences on, gimme everything on PS5 wahhhhhh.' I'll check back and see how they're feeling in about 5 years when PS6 is on the Horizon (yes, pun intended). I don't yet have a PS5, but I'm quite content knowing that while I may not have the best graphics or haptic feedback if I play on PS4 now, I can have those features when I do the upgrade.
I don't understand why riding a flying mount during combat would be such an impossible thing on the PS4, when we have had games with that mechanic using far weaker hardware than even the base PS4 for years prior. What about games like Ace Combat where you do nothing but fly? What's so special about making a flying mount work? Is it something to do with draw distance, physics calculations, AI or animations?
Not surprising. I've not even played the original game yet (I bought it and it sits in my 'to play' backlog; I know, for shame) and I was excited to see the gameplay reveal of the sequel. It looks awesome, but some questions remain for me:
What does the PS4 version look like (hopefully since it's first party this version won't be gimped to barely run on the older hardware)
Will there be a free upgrade program from PS4 version to PS5 version. I'll be hanging on to my base PS4 for a while yet, but it would be nice to have an upgrade to look forward to when I get a PS5.
They may not be the versions us long-time PlayStation fans want, but I can easily see Sony ressurecting franchises like Ape Escape and more on smartphones for the mobile gamer crowd.
Had a good session on GT Sport early this morning, and it seemed there were many more online than I'd see as usual, so even though I have an active PS Plus subscription for now, I'm grateful for the added players this weekend.
@gollumb82 Yes, as much fake outrage as smacking Lady Dimitrescu on the butt with a fly swatter in RE Village. Maybe even more ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
That black one looks sooooooo crisp. I don't usually buy a second controller with a new console, but... looks like I'll have to make an exception whenever I get to buy a PS5
