Just the camera angle. Plenty of space to use the drive.

I'm good with white. It goes with my set up.

Luckily my VR is still setup and available...although does anyone else have issues with the padding flaking off?

Anyway, really enjoyed the first Moss, so I'll give this one a go.

Yeah, there was another article. I started the video and commented on the Hoover Dam before the video showed it. Cool place, Hoover, although quite crowded. Not much to do there except walk it...it's literally just a dam. But the architecture is very art deco. Makes you think of Bioshock.

@palmab
Yeah...except without Sony's first party...it doesn't.

I'm only good with this if they bring back QORE.

There is absolutely no way to properly showcase VR outside of experiencing it yourself. I like that PSVR let’s you see what people are doing, but a flat screen view of that 3D space loses the entire point of VR. I doubt Sony sets up demos at retailers the way they did with PSVR given the pandemic, but that’s what made me a Day One. Almost losing my lunch doing a barrel roll in Eve sold me. No regrets. And no more barrel rolls.

I bought a VRR Television when I got my PS5 in November 2020, so it’s about time.

@suikoden
Or…just maybe…people call out poor games for being poor. I don’t see people here praising Gran Turismo 7 for the latest issues, but spout what you want, even though you’re clearly incorrect.

Thanks for the review. This will be a bargain bin buy for me if I ever decide to purchase the game.

Out of curiosity, why is it that your sister site Eurogamer doesn’t have a review? I’ve noticed that their content has really fallen off over the last couple of years…to the point that I rarely visit their site anymore. There wasn’t even a mention of the Hogwarts State of Play, and nothing on this game. I get my Digital Foundry fix through YouTube.

It’s shocking how bad their service has become…and now they’re charging people. It’s cray cray.

I watched the first two movies, and although decent, found them to be very youth oriented...and I mean small children youth. I wasn't that impressed at the time.

It wasn't until I was in a judge's chambers negotiating a plea deal that my Harry Potter interest was piqued again. As I sat in discussions on the criminal outcome for my client, Amazon's Day One Delivery of Order of the Phoenix was delivered to the judge! I literally laughed out loud (highly unrecommended when negotiating an individual's freedom). After the ensuing Harry Potter discussion, I agreed to overlook the first two movies and give the books a go (there may have been a bit in there about 6 months probationary period with no jail time...it's been a few years...).

I started on book 5, thinking the first two movies would give me enough background to parse everything else together. I was wrong. I finished book five and instantly bought Sorcerer's Stone (American's know what Philosophers are...but whatever) through Goblet of Fire. Loved the series...and the movies actually got really good starting with Prisoner of Azkaban!

I haven’t made it through the video and I haven’t played the game (just finished HZD), but given the location you’d think the Hoover Dam would make an appearance.

Edit: Never mind. It’s included. Not sure why it’s called Presa Hoover, but that’s the dam. I actually saw them constructing that sky bridge and walked on it once it was completed. I could only take a bit of it because it is quite high off the ground.

I've started attacking my backlog before buying new games. I just finished HZD, and now I'm playing Dying Light, making this news perfect!

Horizon Zero Dawn. I need to play this first. I've also started Dying Light 1, although swapping games is creating issues as Aloy doesn't parkour.

I have not purchased yet, but I will. In the meantime, I'm splitting time between the original and the original Dying Light. Backlogs and all.

And I think I have about 10 Assassins' Creeds to play...

I own the original, but have only played a little. I believe I found the tech, but didn’t get much further. I need to pick it back up.

The Bungie deal obviously has some impact. Sony coming out and announcing that Bungie will remain independent and release games on all consoles may keep the Activision games already in existence multi-platform. I don't expect that for Bethesda games, but I do Activision.

I wish it were reversed and Bethesda was staying multi-plat. Those are the only games I will miss.

I bought a 65” Bravia that was supposed to support VRR along with my PS5, which was also supposed to support VRR. Over a year later and neither have VRR.

I did not buy it. I did, however, start playing Dying Light 1, which has been in my backlog for a few years now.

"Winning!"

Classic! 🤣

Jumped in and saw the image and thought Home was coming back. Evil tease.

Evil.

I work in an environment that relies heavily on electrical components and we’re not forecasting supply chain relief until 2023. All the major manufacturing was outsourced to China, and China’s COVID restrictions and power supply issues have constricted the supply flow.

A Forbes contributor article on the possibility of MS buying Bungie.

Like that they went with the “chrome” trimmed Fat Boy PS3. That was my original, all 60 GB of it.

I've been making similar posts where Xbox is sold...
No Uncharted.
No God of War.
No Horizon.
No Ratchet & Clank.
No Spider-Man.
No The Last of Us.
No Ghost of Tsushima.
No Infamous.
No Little Big Planet.
No Days Gone.
No Dreams.
No Gravity Rush.
No Astrobot.

It becomes a very long list and I typically tire out and quit...

I tried it at launch. It seemed like the tiger character was OP. Haven’t played it since.

I own none, so a win for me.

Anyone get the feel that this is like GTA going from the top down gameplay to GTA 3.

What does it really offer though? From a value add perspective, not much.

@Old-Red
Why are you on the Internet if you’re worried about spoilers?

Sony has done just fine introducing new IPs to the world. Microsoft can buy existing IPs, but if they can’t create new ones, they’re just a hamster in a wheel, going nowhere. If Sony keeps their production level at its current rate, everything will be just fine.

Keep on keeping on. I could care less about Activision. I’ll miss the Bethesda games, but Sony being Sony has always produced the best gaming experience. Microsoft hasn’t done anything to improve that.

Why is utterly stupid not an option?

I don't play any of the Activision games. I did buy Tony Hawk, but I haven't left the warehouse. Bethesda had a much bigger impact on me. Activision I could care less about.

@BolkaRover
My OP was on net worth, not market cap.

Good lord the ignorance...

A quick lesson in finance:
Net worth is simply a company's assets minus its liabilities.
Microsoft's net worth currently sits at $456 billion.

Market value (also known as OMV, or "open market valuation") is the price an asset would fetch in the marketplace, or the value that the investment community gives to a particular equity or business.
Microsoft's market value is $2.42 trillion.

There is a difference. Educate yourself please.

@Ashina
Microsoft hasn't even addressed their internal sexual harassments issues. And now they add more.

My understanding is that his "golden parachute" for leaving is in the $250-$300 million range. I'm sure he'll be crying out the door.

All in all, Sony still releases better games. That’s a fact.

PlayStation creates new IP…God of War, Uncharted, Dreams, Infamous, Days Gone, Horizon, Ghosts of Tsushima, etc.

Xbox has Halo, Gears and Forza.

So Microsoft’s solution isn’t to be creative to benefit gamers, but to buy existing IPs to box other platforms out? How is this good?

Sony’s net worth since 2018:
2018 - $61.55 billion
2019 - $62.33 billion
2020 - $84.04 billion
2021 - $127.98 billion

Microsoft currently sits at $456.132 billion.

@ShogunRok
Sony.

Almost 1/10th of a TRILLION dollars to gatekeep gamers out. Talk about hate.

So Microsoft finds value in firms that promote sexual harassment. Sounds about right. I remember their Xbox One showing where the guy told the lady to relax and take it…it would be over soon.

How Xbox.

It’s a numbers game. Maybe if your user base is at 50 million it doesn’t make sense, but when your user base exceeds 100 million…

Let’s say a game goes on sale and sells 5 million during launch and another 8 million over the course of its life through discounts. Assuming discounts of 50%, that would bring in around $590 million.

Put it on a service that only cost $10 a month, but has 100 million viable candidates and it only takes 60% buy in to get that amount in ONE month. Want to guess what the buy in is for Microsoft’s GamePass? 60%.

Seems like easy money to me.

I like Days Gone. I like Ghosts of Tsushima. I finished Ghosts. Days Gone I will finish...along with Horizon and God of War.

Returnal I will never finish, but I will play it some more.

@Deadlyblack
OMG...VR on a zip line?! With haptic feedback making you "feel the woosh"?
