The game length argument is as stupid as always and has nothing to do with either value or how long I'll actually play it for. The Resident Evil 2 Remake is a game I can beat in less than a couple of hours, yet I've easily spent over 100 hours playing it. On the other side there is Assassins Creed Valhalla which is stupidly long and I stopped after 30 hours or so as I got bored of it.

Give me a game that I enjoy playing and doesn't outstay it's welcome over filling an open world with "content" for the sake of it any day

I wouldn't say its been amongst my most anticipated games this year, though I did get the platinum on the previous games and really enjoyed them. I'll be starting this Monday as I don't have much time this weekend, so it'll be a bit of the brilliant Mario Wonder until then

I have the game but won't have chance to play until Monday, I hope everyone has a great time with it

@BoomBoomBrucey the new Forza is so poorly optimised on PC, this ran great on mine at 1440p max settings between 80 and 100fps

@Anti-Matter well 2 out of 3 isn't bad

Why would there be any interest? If you already have a PS5 then this offers nothing over what you already have

Whilst very impressive, I think between getting the platinum on both Spider-Man and Miles Morales I fast travelled 2 or 3 times as the swinging is just too much fun

@FuriousMachine I think the demo has already been taken down sadly, I noticed yesterday on my Steam library that the play button had been replaced by purchase

Having played the demo, there isn't a game for the rest of the year I'm looking forward to playing as much as this

I never intended to play this coop anyway, 2D platformers have rarely been a good fit for such a thing and Sonic certainly never will be.

The review sounds much better than a 6 though, particularly if you're playing solo like the vast majority will be. I'm looking forward to playing both this and the new Mario game

@JalapenoSpiceLife only on PC for now

In the demo they were an interesting addition and there were safes I couldn't open and some clues I couldn't fully scan as I opted to have the bullet ricochet from the movie as my early upgrade. I did enjoy the mini open world and investigating crimes and hopefully there's a nice blend of that and the straight up shooting levels in the final game. Its very high up on my most wanted list

I hope its a full price release just to see the chaos online 😂

What is the point in remastering a game that's already 60fps on PS5 and still looks better than most of the games on it.

Have Sony forgotten the PS5 is backwards compatible?

I had a go of this last night and whilst the article is sadly correct in that "the game doesn't look like it'll trouble 2023's laundry list of GOTY contenders", I can honestly say it's easily amongst the most fun I've had with any game all year.

If you're a fan of the original Robocop film then you're in for a treat

10, the dlc is outstanding with some of the best missions I've played in some time, You Know My Name being a personal favourite. Its a shame that Cyberpunk has only now realised its potential as support for it ends.

My only minor gripe with the dlc is not being able to use that face mask more, like you can in those missions

Ahh yes, I can see how a Star Wars game would lose the licence to its own music and long before it comes out too

@ShogunRok whilst I haven't been a fan of him in a public speaking role, its very clear that he has been a huge part of Playstation's success, certainly in Europe and I have nothing but respect for that and you don't work for a company for 30 years and become it's CEO for nothing.

I wish him well in his well earned retirement

Cool, as someone who pretty much exclusively plays on PC these days it's great to see these games coming over

I've played about 3 hours of the dlc and so far it's superb. I have previously beaten the game and now I'm using my high level V to play with the new perks. I'm currently running a blades build and it's great fun taking down groups with just a sword, blocking bullets and air dashing about.

The update and dlc have cemented Cyberpunk as my favourite open world game and it looks stunning too

So if its 10 to 15 years ahead of its time, why don't we have anything like it today 15 years down the line?

I can't think of anyone in gaming who talks more rubbish than Jim Ryan

@GeeForce NTSC is 60hz and PAL is 50hz but games in the early 3D era generally targeted half refresh rates.

MGS1 being 30fps makes sense given its likely just the PS1 game emulated but MGS2 being 30fps on Switch is beyond ridiculous

I played through it on PC earlier this year and have been playing this new update there and the new ray reconstruction looks unbelievable, finally showcasing what my GPU can really do. In terms of the gameplay improvements, I feel they've transformed the game. I've had a quick go on my high level character but will be starting a fresh save for the dlc but the new police and perks are brilliant fun, whether I'm blocking bullets with a sword or bullet time jumping from my vehicle

Too busy with Starfield and then the Cyberpunk and Resident Evil 4 dlc's are about to drop so I simply don't have time, I might pick it up in the new year

Didn't Quake 2 also come to Playstation about a month ago? They seem to have been pretty consistent about existing games, so if anything I'd be surprised if these weren't released on Playstation

@StylesT I've played quite a lot of games on PS5 and only remember Astro Bot making great use of it, oh and the triggers for GT7, outside of those I can't say I've noticed it or instead found the triggers to be annoying

@Matroska I didn't say they were the same as haptic feedback from a technology standpoint, how they achieve them isn't my point, rather how they all take ideas from one another and implement or improve upon them. Often these are invented outside of gaming and I think you're right in that the Steam controller was the first to use it. I do wish though that Sega's idea of using hall effect sensors would have caught on and save us from this stick drift that is all too common

That is just delusional, why would Nintendo want to leave their own thriving hardware, just to be limited to a tiny console market share? Nintendo could easily go to PC by themselves if needed as Xbox are far from the dominant factor there either, with Valve making a mockery of how poor the Xbox app is

It's good to see Xbox taking these ideas from Sony who in turn iterated from Nintendo and their HD rumble and Xbox's own trigger rumble and I've seen Nintendo patents for a hall effect style analogue stick to finally catch up with Sega from nearly 30 years ago

Sounds awesome, I've had a lot of fun with this game even though it wasn't that obvious how to fully customise your character. Even so I managed to be a Katana wielding maniac who could slow down time or be able to bounce bullets of walls Robocop style but this sounds a huge improvement. Ultimately I'll be playing on PC, so will get to experience the upgraded ray tracing as well, though it sounds like a great time for all

It's sad that people have lost their jobs and hopefully they all find work. As for the game, it's been clear for a long time that there was very little interest in it and its lack of success is no surprise

I'm delighted that Playstation games are coming to PC. Having games open to a wider audience is a good thing

Whilst it's noteworthy such games will be sold on an iPhone, I don't understand the fuss of an iPhone being able to run them. These games were designed to run on what is now a 10 year old console and the likes of Steamdeck plays such games for less than half the price of what this will be.

That said, personally I have no interest in playing such games on a phone

Kind of crazy how long it's taken Sega to bring home Daytona USA 2, I'm really looking forward to this game anyway but woth Daytona 2 and Fighting Vipers included, its a must play and I'm a sucker for Pocket Circuit

@rjejr it's basically the most popular emulator for PS2 but here is Virtua Fighter 4 with interlaced vs deinterlaced at the same resolution.

I hope so because their current emulator is c**p.

On PC there is an incredible PS2 emulator which even deinterlaces, making so many PS2 games absolutely shine like new

I was already highly unlikely to renew and this just confirms it, just a shame that cloud saves are locked behind this nonsense.

You'd think with the price increase they'd make that dedicated streaming device actually capable of streaming from their now more expensive subscription

If it streamed from the cloud as well then it would be a more attractive proposition but as is I really don't see the point of it. It's just a streaming device with none of the benefits of what streaming can offer

This year I won't be renewing any of my gaming subscriptions as I barely have time to play the games I buy, let alone what each of those offer. Looking at the next couple of months alone there is Starfield, Cyberpunk dlc, Spider-Man, Mario, Sonic, Alan Wake 2, Forza, whilst on Steam I'm yet to get round to System Shock and Turbo Overkill.

Gaming subscriptions can be a great option but I doubt I'll use any of them again

Really looking forward to this, I'll be playing on PC with the new "ray reconstruction" but the new gameplay improvements alone look amazing. I'm probably going to start a new character to get the full experience of the new skills and features before jumping into the dlc

I might not care for their other shows/films but I would definitely watch this

And don't you need these or at least that dongle to use wireless headphones with that new controller with a screen thingy? As that seemingly doesn't have Bluetooth

I won't be, I don't see a use case for me at all. Had it being able to play smaller games natively, even just things like PS1 classics and the PS2, PSP games then maybe and not being able to stream from PS Plus just kind of makes it pointless to me

I can't say I've noticed these hit detection issues and have had no trouble shooting enemies, though I'm playing elsewhere so maybe it's a Playstation thing

Personally this is an easy 10 at the for me, it's a brilliant remaster of a great game and some of the most fun I've had playing games this year

@GamingFan4Lyf and if you already owned the original on Steam, it's a free upgrade

What an absolute joke, $50 for a basic port? Why not put it on PS5 and make it 60fps at the very least, this regularly costs a fraction of this on Xbox and at least its 4K

@KaijuKaiser "we just have to hope that governments regulate or implement a program to make sure people are paid and fed"

Of all the things I've seen written in relation to AI, sadly this is the least realistic outcome

@GamingFan4Lyf yeah its one of the main reasons I went with Nvidia, I enjoy these RT versions and mods for older games and their OGL support is more reliable for certain emulators. My 3070ti for example is much slower than a 6950xt which has a 30 to 35% lead in Cyberpunk, but at RT Ultra they basically run the same and with DLSS vs FSR the 3070ti is actually a bit quicker and had Nvidia given it more VRAM I suspect it would have a decent advantage

@GamingFan4Lyf I've seen a 6700xt running in the low 40's at 1080p, so maybe with some optimisations the PS5 could do a locked 30fps. Sadly AMD and the consoles in particular have very limited RT capabilities.

I do enjoy this on PC, so it'll be interesting to see how the remake compares, though I may stick with the RT version as I have done witht he original Quake mod. Still it's good to see these games getting a new lease of life

The Switch eshop makes the Steam Greenlight days look well curated
