I'm really enjoying the 40fps mode, more than the 60fps but yeah, some aspects have aged really bad, the character animations during dialog is so bad but damn, spent like 10 hours this weekend just exploring.
I would give it an 8 out of 10, the main story is excellent, there's so much variety and creativity in the campaign, I was surprised that the side content was so dull and really by the numbers, still a great game though.
Finally started Cyberpunk on PS5 and 3 hours in... I'm really underwhelmed, it's missing something, not sure what yet. Armored Core on the other hand, has been great so far.
I would love to see the Resistance franchise brought back for VR or even the Killzone games, like Liam said, there's no first party game announced as of yet and considering the support they game the first VR, I thought they have anything planned. Shame.
The whole strategy of games as a service is to force players to devote as much time/money to the game as possible, so it's really hard to persuade those players to leave their favorite game. Playstation has a really rough time ahead of them, if they're really going after that market. They really need something to set them apart and right now, they don't have anything, only time will tell, I guess, it just sucks what will happen with those teams when their projects don't pan out.
Sad, this project was doomed the moment they announced it, I got really excited until I saw the Aspyr logo, hope Playstation gives it to one of their own teams.
That's kind of sad to hear, considering they have some really good teams on their side, like Obsidian, Tango Gameworks, Machine Games, heck even Id Software. It just seems like they don't have a roadmap or something to guide them, so each team is just doing their own thing, there's no leadership.

Re: Fallout 4 (PS5) - Timeless Gameplay Loop Stuck in an Outdated RPG
I'm really enjoying the 40fps mode, more than the 60fps but yeah, some aspects have aged really bad, the character animations during dialog is so bad but damn, spent like 10 hours this weekend just exploring.

Already played the Switch version but playing this on a higher framerate and resolution, hell yeah and with more content.
Re: PlayStation Reveals Most Played Games of 2023 by Region, Is Basically a Waste of Time
@ATaco I've got two friends that just play that, hours and hours of COD and yeah, they're having fun but damn, there's so much else to play.
Re: The Last of Us Multiplayer Project Is Officially Cancelled
Tragic but the right decision, it’s better than releasing something broken/unfinished.
Re: Preview: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Brings Back the Series with Style
Really excited for this, this preview makes it sound really promising.

A lot more Playstation than I expected but damn, watching it is such a chore.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Marvel's Spider-Man 2?
I would give it an 8 out of 10, the main story is excellent, there's so much variety and creativity in the campaign, I was surprised that the side content was so dull and really by the numbers, still a great game though.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 496
Finally started Cyberpunk on PS5 and 3 hours in... I'm really underwhelmed, it's missing something, not sure what yet. Armored Core on the other hand, has been great so far.
Re: Callisto Protocol's Glen Schofield Announces Departure from Striking Distance Studios
Wow, tanks the studio and moves on
Re: PS3 Classics Oblivion and Fallout 3 are Reportedly Being Remastered
I assume they'll come to Playstation, as much as Xbox wants to push their subscription, it would be pretty dumb to leave PS money on the table.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Baldur's Gate 3?
It’s great to finally play something where my choices actually matter.
Re: The Original Tomb Raider Trilogy Returns in Remaster Collection on PS5, PS4
Was excited until I saw it’s coming from Aspyr.
Re: Video: Spider-Man 2's Striking PS5 Console and DualSense Controller Unboxed
They look awesome but scalpers have taken pretty much all stock where I live.
Re: Poll: Was Gamescom Opening Night Live Any Good?
I really don't understand why they would fly people all the way to Germany, just to give them less than a minute on stage.
Re: Immortals of Aveum (PS5) - Fantasy FPS Lacks the Magic Touch
Days away from Armored Core, Sea of Stars and Baldur's Gate 3, I'll probably wait for a price drop for this.
Re: Red Dead Redemption PS4 Trends on PS Store as $50 Port Attracts a Lot of Attention
It will unfortunately sell millions, that's just how it is, Rockstar knows that.
Re: Hands On: Exoprimal PS5, PS4 Shows Early Promise, But May Not Have Staying Power
Capcom keeps trying to have a live service game, it's admirable but they're ideas so far, just haven't been really good.
Re: Reaction: What Happens to PlayStation if Microsoft Buys Activision Blizzard?
As others have said, it doesn't really affect me in anyway, it'll probably hit Playstation but they got money, they'll be fine.
Re: Talking Point: What Are Your Favourite PS5, PS4 Games of 2023 So Far?
Jedi Survivor is still my GOTY so far, RE4 Remake is awesome too, I'm still quite mixed on FFXVI, I'm about 30 hours in.
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Delayed One Week on PS5, Runs at 60fps
@Magnus_Selene really? that's a damn shame
Re: Gory Horror Game Scorn Announced for PS5, Out This Year
Even after the so so reviews, I'm still interested in trying this and props on them for making it a physical release.
Re: SEGA and Bungie Were On Microsoft's Shopping List in 2020, Xbox Emails Show
So they let Bungie go and then they wanted them back?
Re: PS Plus Premium's Killzone: Liberation Adds PS5, PS4 Trophies to Underappreciated Shooter
Sweet, was about to ask if it had trophies.
Re: Poll: Was Capcom Showcase 2023 All Killer, or Mostly Filler?
Really surprised we didn't see anything on Resident Evil, besides the VR mode.
Re: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Is the Next Mainline Game as Ichiban Goes Nude on a Beach
It'll be really interesting to see how the deal with the clash of cultures, it's a really exciting premise for the next entry.
Re: Poll: Was Summer Game Fest 2023 a Sizzler or a Wash Out?
Let's be real, we all wanted to see that Twisted Metal clip and Geoff delivered.
Re: Feature: PSVR2 Three Months Later - The Good, The Bad, and The Worrying
I would love to see the Resistance franchise brought back for VR or even the Killzone games, like Liam said, there's no first party game announced as of yet and considering the support they game the first VR, I thought they have anything planned. Shame.
Re: Poll: Which PS5 Blockbuster Will You Be Playing in June?
Already bought all 3, just need to find time to play them :/
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 478
As many, still playing Jedi Survivor and TOTK, I also finished the MW2 (2022) campaign and it was surprisingly really good.
Re: PS5's Remote Play Portable Will Allegedly Launch in November
I would much rather have a portable PS3 than this :/
Re: Reaction: Sony's PS5, PC Live Service Strategy Won't Work If It's All Samey Shooters
The whole strategy of games as a service is to force players to devote as much time/money to the game as possible, so it's really hard to persuade those players to leave their favorite game. Playstation has a really rough time ahead of them, if they're really going after that market. They really need something to set them apart and right now, they don't have anything, only time will tell, I guess, it just sucks what will happen with those teams when their projects don't pan out.
Re: Bungie Is Bringing Back Marathon on PS5, PC, Xbox Series X|S
"sci-fi PvP extraction shooter", immediately lost interest.
Re: Poll: Was This Sony's Best PlayStation Showcase Yet?
It was a Playstation Showcase but, what are the teams doing? We barely got anything first party. Spider-Man looks great but...that's only Insomniac.
Re: No Comment on Troubled PS5 Console Exclusive Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Sad, this project was doomed the moment they announced it, I got really excited until I saw the Aspyr logo, hope Playstation gives it to one of their own teams.
Re: Poll: How Hyped Are You for the PlayStation Showcase?
It's been so long and almost three years into this gen, it's weird how little new gen games we've had.
Re: Impressive and Beautiful Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Made with 'No Compromises' for PS5
About time, it's been almost 3 years into this gen and we barely have and current gen games.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 477
TOTK like many, it's hard to juggle other games because Zelda demands a lot of time to it and I'm not complaining.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 476
It's all about TOTK, at first I was like, hmm it's really similar, 10 hours in, damn, they completely changed my mind, there's some freaky new stuff.
Re: Rumours About PS5 Exclusive Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, and Castlevania Send the Web Potty
I bet Insomniac could make a sweet Castlevania game.
Re: Xbox Boss Admits Microsoft Can't 'Outconsole' PS5
