I noticed the game becoming visibly choppy in the hideout when playing in balanced mode on PS5 Pro too, so it's not just "performance profile". Good to know it's getting fixed though.

Ngl, the denial some people are in is a bit amusing. Why do you even care...

@Zeke68 Pretty sure it simply only auto-updates the games that you launched in the last X days - not sure the value of X though

How about they bring back the "continue where you left" activity? Where did that go?

@Hyena_socks nah, high level players are very consistent at breaking throws so this would basically mean removing them from the game (at high level)

@Wiceheid the difference is that chipp damage is recoverable in Tekken. You can get that health back by going on offence. This is not the case in most other games so it's not actually worse IMO.
It's still weird though.

@PuppetMaster Have you seen Kill Knight? I haven't played it yet but it looks like what you're looking for

@ChrisDeku I really like how efficiently AW2 is made.
The Game doesn't have that many locations or characters and it makes you revisit some of them a bunch but it does it in such way that it feels like a big game even though it's not really all that massive.

As for Housemarque - loved Returnal, will gladly play Returnal But Bigger

@Jeff2sayshi Quite important IMO, as it sets up the whole premise for Mars, but it's only a 5 hour game. Mars is a bit longer.

@eM1x029 that's the thing - I did start it and I liked it but I'm not sure I can find the time to finish it in time

Saw a former employee tweet (in reaction to this news) that she received threats and generally troubling messages over the choice to make rooftops a certain color in Mirage, because it wasn't fully historically accurate (it was present in Baghdad but a little later than the game events).
People are terrible.

Hmm I wanted to finish Animal Well and play ZAU but idk if I can make it in time.
I should probably just buy AW, it's pretty great.

Deliver Us Mars was fun (play Deliver Us The Moon first though) and Kena is great but I bought that on release.

I have never heard of this game before today... not that I'd be interested in playing it but... yeah

@LikelySatan I think Control is very good even while your options are limited.
But also yeah, once you can toss things around, it's a blast - and that's one of the first things you get.

I'll be getting this but it might not be at launch (depending on how much time I take with AC Shadows and some other stuff)
Did they confirm a physical release for this (or lack thereof)?

This looks amazing and makes me wish I actually enjoyed DS

Signed up. I don't see why not.

The hand tracking feature looks very promising!

I have a lot of respect for Harada for how involved he is with the Tekken community and I don't envy him at the same time.

@PrincessPeach11 that's not what they said though, is it?
They did start with "I don't like it", which is fine - but then they suggested a redesign is somehow unfair treatment of the entire fanbase.

A month early is pretty wild.
Funny part is, at the same time I see people on Twitter asking if the game will be delayed again, as well as asking Ubi if the they'll be announcing the game going gold soon (which it clearly has long ago).

Bring back resume activity.

I pre-ordered. I'm pretty confident I'll like it (as I liked all of the AC games so far) and free DLC is a good enough incentive.

@Anti-Matter it will improve Xbox games sales and that's what matters currently. Hardware is now something they do on the side.

If not for the recent spending spree, most of these games would still be on PlayStation, just without the MS label.
It's an interesting time, with MS almost going the Sega route, but so far this seems like a good thing for both parties.

I saw some people worried that this would lead to Sony releasing fewer games because 'they don't have to anymore" but I don't think this makes much sense for their business.
Also, a lot if these comments stem from people expecting more games from Sony but it's worth noting that the numbers are not that different from the PS4 in its first 4 years (excluding the various remasters)

@CielloArc I really don't think Outlaws and Shadows being a "PR nightmare" had anything to do with what the games did. Ubisoft is easy to hate on for some of their past decisions but it's mostly about the rise of this new kind of "influencer" who profits off people wanting to be mad at something - which really sucks.
I mean, if I remember correctly, the thing about Outlaws the internet hated ahead of release was that the main character had a strong chin. Ridiculous.

This is pretty sad even if it feels like they really brought it on themselves.
I think Outlaws could've sold more if it got delayed and released in the state it is now. It's neither the best SW game or the best Ubi game but it's solid fun.
The Lost Crown was great and it's sad to see they no longer want to do smaller projects like it.
I'm still excited for Shadows, personally. There has not been a bad AC game IMO.

@OmegaStriver
> Assassins Creed would be rebooted to not include the future segments
I'd like the opposite, please. These segments have been marginalized after AC2 and I want them back.

@Feffster They learned from mobile phone operators, I guess

> The discount only seems to be applying for new sign-ups and returning members
This has been the case with every PS+ sale since the rework and frankly I don't like it very much.

Voice acting was not a strong point here but I liked everything else very much!

@1UP-HUSKY A 40 min SoP is not particularly unusual but it is the bigger kind.

I couldn't enter a tournament on Saturday because of it but it wasn't that big of a deal. 5 days of PS+ is more than fair.

Sure it did, lil bro. Totally the reason.

I only played the first one as I still had a gaming PC back then and the other 2 only launched on Xbox. Loved it. Would definitely play the trilogy.

I don't think this is for me but it'll probably do very well on PS5. I expect lots of players being interested.

I liked this one. It was weird but in a good way.

This was a good trailer. The game won't be a revolution in the series but it's looking like another solid entry, which sounds good to me as a fan of the series.
Once again, I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority here, but I hope they expand on the "out of the Animus" parts of the story as well as all the "ancient aliens" stuff.

Where sequel, Ubi

I don't use my PSVR2 a lot but I still really like it.
Sad that it's seen as a failure, there's a lot of cool games on it.

They seem to be relatively easy to get at SRP in the US, compared to UK and EU.
Which means SONY's logistics game is kinda lacking currently.
I'm still looking for one but I'm not paying 180€ for a 120€ item.

I... kinda like this, actually. I haven't played the game.

I'd buy this. Never played Halo.

I find this hard to believe. Consoles usually sell best when they release (unless there are supply constraints) and the Switch is hugely popular - my bet would be it selling more than PS5 in 2025 even if it's on sale for 3 months less.
I'm no analyst though. We'll see.

I've got about 30€ of store credit from it so that's not bad.

As we know, the Horizon games both famously released when there was nothing else to play so people bought them despite not being excited about them - makes sense!

I'd only use rest mode if I was downloading something large while going out - which is rarely the case as most things download rather quick.
I imagine it's crucial for those using any kind of remote play though.

@tameshiyaku not really though, there are multiple examples of games that achieve better quality with PSSR than FSR.
Seems like it currently struggles with some specific stuff, most of all low native render resolution.

@Killionaire how much are they?

I was never much interested in FC (but mostly because the ones I tried felt off in terms of movement and gunplay, the formula itself seemed fine) and this makes me even less interested.

@PuppetMaster It passed 12 million back in May (see link below). I imagine it slowed down significantly since then but it's probably past 15 mil by now if I had to guess

@AFCC I wouldn't say anything is OP but a lot of them are very fun

Pretty good for me!
