@Deljo pretty sure I said Xbox gamers not Xbox as a sub-brand of a corporation… although yeah Xbox would’ve been in a financial black hole rn if it wasn’t for CoD. Amazing how spending $70 billi can save your quarterly’s.
@XenonKnight ikr… glad it runs perfectly for the Xbox gamers out there though, it’s been a sparse year for them and I know they’ve been banking on this
@UltimateOtaku91 nah it’s a 4090 issue too according to reports… I guess it must just be one of those any PC (no matter how beefy your rig) issue… but runs perfectly ‘juicy’ on Xbox 🤷♂️… 😉
@anoyonmus I’d imagine that you’ve never wondered why Xbox metacritic scores for a game are higher than versions of the same game for other systems where in some cases it actually runs better? Here’s a thought, mull that one over for a while… it could be an eye opener 😎
So a multi platform release, that secured the Gamepass-bag day-and-date didn’t do as well commercially as was initially expected. Well that has to be Sony’s fault right… right guys?
@ZeroSum so I think a lot of people are misunderstanding my words… which is strange 🤔 as I think I was quite clear. So I mentioned a game being developed ground up with the ps5 pro in mind. That in no way infers the ps5 pro would be the base console, only that during the development process that the ps5 pro is a consideration. The point of of my post was that all games being tested so far were developed before the ps5 pro was even a thing.
So I have a second playthrough on Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 on Prince of Darkness difficulty for the platinum and then I’ll be making a start on Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Directors Cut.
@Markatron84 so they’ve actually removed the block function recently as it goes… and as someone who has always strongly advocated against its use (as I feel that everyone is entitled to their opinion and the ability to express it)… you’re actually making me question that core belief. I would say well done on that… but as you’re one of those people who struggles to comprehend irony (further evidenced by your latest response 🤣), it’s probably best I don’t tbh.
Not speaking specifically about Push Square here, it’s just an observation about all outlets who’ve reviewed the tech. Judgements are currently being made about games released prior to the PS5 Pro and have received a Pro patch or boost. The main concern of myself at least will be how games developed from the ground up with the PS5 Pro in mind end up performing.
@Deoxyr1bose I’ve read every comment, any comment denigrating GSG work in no way ignores R*’s part in the project. R* has actually taken 99.9% of the flack since the release… I’d say GSG can shoulder the 0.01% that is now coming their way.
Just made a start on Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 today. It was never really on my schedule, I just picked a copy up for the collection but I was so pleasantly surprised by the original LoS earlier this year I thought that I may as well give the sequel a fair shot too.
The general consensus seems to think it’s a fair bit worse but there are a minority out there who swear that it’s a great evolution of the original. Well the prologue was fan(g)tastic, so I’m feeling it so far.
Having just gone back through IV (& back through V 2 years ago) I’m hyped! I do have a couple of concerns about some of the lead creatives having left and such but… I can’t help but hope R* hit yet another home-run.
@get2sammyb people are just idiots and will actively look for anything to cling to that might potentially support their world view… regardless of the fact that they ignore the same damn thing on their side of the divide.
Played a lot of Virtua Fighter 2 back on the Saturn. Lost interest in one-on-one fighters since then though. It was a very good one though, probably my favourite until Soulcalibur on Dreamcast.
@TheArt yeah I was always hoping that they would but just ended up biting the bullet and went for the PS3 version again in the end. Frame rate sucks but you get used to it tbh.

Well Grove Street made enough d*ck moves when remastering the games that the least R* could do is return the favour 🤔
