It will be interesting to see what that massive distance in I/O throughput w(double value for Sony) will do in term of loading time and memory loading...
While I really enjoyed the technical aspects of the presentation, in terms of global communication and marketing was an unexpected terrible disaster.
I can imagine the average consumer just comparing the teraflops numbers (and the bad backward compatibility) between a sneeze and another and declare the utter defeat of Sony console.
Revolutionary Audio engine and huge I/O bandwidth looks promising to me.
Best time sinker ever invented and my most anticipated release this year on ps4. I loved every Civ instances and this will be mine on ps4 despite having it on pc, since I would love to see more and more strategy games on console.
Also check out Stellaris and Planetfall, both are 2 amazing 4x games ported to ps4
I cannot put this game down. Just finished the story, 9 cars in the garage, a Pontiac Firebird as my drift champion, an oldie Porsche 911 as off-road (!!!) and an Alfa Giulia Cloverleaf with 680hp to rule the streets! I can shake off up to 5 cops at heat lv. 3 now and it is always a blast and adrenaline rush.
Sleeper hit for me and truly awesome graphics at night. I keep asking myself why Gran Turismo had to dump all the customization fun, it is such a great feeling once you finally nail the setup and the chassis of a newly purchased car.
If you are looking for a Forza Horizon-like game on ps4, this is the one you need!
I guess there are a lot of gamers like me that are not convinced at all that the game loop will be entertaining and not tedious for 40+ hours and they are not willing to spend 60 bucks to discover it....
@PunkRx_Lockly I love it and the mix between musou and gran strategy. Is a game that periodically runs on me ps4 with my sinkin hours upon hours every time.
@playstation1995 I just played the tutorial of watch dogs 2 but I really like its mix of GTA and stealth game. Looks like you can tackle missions in a ton of different way.
San Francisco is beautiful in its day/night circle.
Mainly Need for Speed Heat: it is a great return to form for a franchise I used to love and then hate in the last decade. Progression is amazing, I spend hours tinkering around Customization of my cars, driving is addictively fun and cop chases are a thrill. It looks like playing a better version of Most Wanted with a great coat of paint by night. I can't put the controller down, every time I have 15 mins of free time I do a race or 2
Aside of that I got super bargain for Far Cry 5 and Watchdogs 2 second hand. I am enjoying a lot Far Cry 5, no radio tower, progression is all due by player exploration and quests are very different from each other. What a nice surprise of a game!
I am loving it, miles and miles of fun, despite being very diffident before...
Customization is top notch {way better than Forza.... why GT Sport hasn't it??) and the races are tense even if arcadey.once you master the braking/drifting you feel like a driving badass.
Well for what I have seen on these pages recently, most of the criticism comes from the fact that people watching gameplay and reading some reviews did not fell super excited about Death Stranding. I did not see many "Kojima = bulls***". As we read your reviews to understand if a game could be or could not be for our taste, I think you should accept that people may be not enthusiast about games. So move on.
@m1349 then we should stop considering videogames as a form of art nowadays, like writing or cinema, cos any form of art takes inspiration from concepts and carries meanings.
Let's then accept that videogame is pure mind dumbing, escapism and entertainment...
Cosmetic mtxs are kind of bearable, as long as you can get a lot of them by playing too. If this helps getting a constant stream of content I am fine. Hope that's all.... No xp boosters or other BS like that.
Also it seems there will be only 3 heroes to choose at the beginning, I hope they won't add more at that ludicrous price like they did with D3 (wasn't the necromancer like 20 bucks at launch? That s insane)
Apparently the initial project was looking more like a darksoulesque take on Diablo, so more like a 3rd person arpg, but the whole thing was scrapped in 2016 and development started again from scratch to give D4 a more classic style.
I would have loved to play a dungeon crawler with procedural generated dungeons, Diablo loot fest and combat mechanic From software style though....
But if they give me more classic Diablo, I am still a happy camper
Not a buy till huge price drop, reviews seem to confirm that is a good delivery man sim - fetch quests collection, and this does not really rings my personal 'I am having fun' bell. Still curious to play it more as a piece of art than as a game.
I expected these reviews, both being little divisive and getting 9/10s, but mainly because there is a Kojima bonus. In my personal opinion it would be a 7 at its best if it was done by any generic studio
@Splat Diablo 3 with the reaper expansion is amazing. I also don't get the hate. It is probably the game I put the most of hours on my ps4. Finished twice with my GF in local coop. Tons of contents
Can't wait for this. Nioh is still a game that I play now and then, full of content and replayability... Its perfect mix of action RPG soulstile gameplay with Diablo loot got me super addicted
However, I am not convinced at all by the game itself. Still looking at this barren world to be traversed on foot and keep asking myself how this won't be incredibly tedious. I keep thinking of the lush world of Horizon Zero Dawn and its incredible combat mechanics. I still believe HZD has better graphics overall and is more "gamey" than this.
I will wait on the fence what the press/youtubers will have to say about this, but I am not very hyped...

@NotSmartEnough the rationale about the SSD size is that it easily distributes the data to the 12 channels of the controller

Re: Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire - Technical Problems Derail an Otherwise Superb Sequel
Too high of a score IMHO. The games sounds almost unplayable in the current state...
This is a 5/10 that eventually will turn into something higher

Re: Golazo! Ditches Fouls and Offsides For 2.5D Football Mayhem on PS4 Next Week
Could be a potential blast, especially in local coop.
Reminds me of soccer brawl from Neo Geo

@get2sammyb I fear the same
Re: Rumour: Mysterious Cartridge Patent Looking More Likely to Be Modular SSD Storage for PS5
"Proprietary" and "Sony" are two words that together did not match at all with "cheap", let's see what happened but I am concerned.
I hope that there will be different ps5 models to choose from so everyone could make his math and choose what is more viable...

Re: Shenmue III's Review Embargo Lifts Days After the Release Date
So then why not asking for 3 months embargo then?
I guess they could sell so much crap to people in this way.
Reading this news makes me think that this game will be total garbage

Best graphic for a Driving game at night.

@Dodoo wreckfest is brilliant!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 297
Borderlands 3 on my 2nd character, Need for Speed Heat which I like so far (reminds me of underground and carbon).
I am thinking about an immersive sim, maybe Bioshock Collection, maybe Disonhored 2... Have to choose one.

Re: Diablo 4 Set to Have Cosmetic Microtransactions and Paid Expansions

Re: Diablo 4 Has a 'Shared Open World', Campaign Is Non-Linear
All good for me until they shovel us microtransactions and loot boxes.
Then I will be very worried....

Re: Death Stranding - Hideo Kojima's Next Revolutionary Masterpiece
Skill Up on YouTube made a great review (as usual) that helps to better understand the game and the mechanics. Very good listening.
Now I am more interested in the game
Re: Death Stranding - Hideo Kojima's Next Revolutionary Masterpiece
The most anticipated 10 in Pushsquare history.... Saw that coming since game reveal.
It does not read like a 10 anyway to me. So it is actually a delivery man game with a pretty repetitive gameplay, especially in the first half.
Guess I will wait till sales/secon hands copies hit the stores...
Re: Rumour: Diablo 4 Is Much Darker and Grittier than Diablo 3, Might Be Open World
@Splat Diablo 3 with the reaper expansion is amazing. I also don't get the hate.
It is probably the game I put the most of hours on my ps4. Finished twice with my GF in local coop. Tons of contents

Great trailer!
However, I am not convinced at all by the game itself. Still looking at this barren world to be traversed on foot and keep asking myself how this won't be incredibly tedious.

Re: Poll: Do You Still Want Ghost of Tsushima to Release on PS4?
What if the retrocompability will be tested with GoT, meaning there will be only one version that runs on both?
Re: Ghost of Tsushima Pushed Back Due to Last of Us 2 Delay, Was Planned for Release in First Half of 2020
I am maybe in the minority but I am waiting Ghost more than TLOU2....
