@zupertramp I saw in one of their official videos that they went first person to make the game more immersive since they can control what the player is seeing. My gut feeling: they plan on making a VR version of this game someday so having it in first person makes it an easy VR port?
This is great news....I've justified getting a PS5 so I can properly enjoy Cyberpunk 2077 when the update for that comes out. I'm playing it on a PS4 Pro but there's always a nagging feeling that it might be best to let the game go through several updates or even hold off until the PS5 version is released. Now with an upcoming proper PS5 Update for the Witcher 3 in the future, I'll have even more of an incentive to get a PS5.
I'm playing on a PS4 Pro and the graphics are much better with all the effects off except lens flare. The worst for me was the lens aberration (?) effect where the edges get distorted. It looked like screen you get in first person shooting games when you're about to die.
Corpo...I love interiors in videogames. All we've seen are bars and streets. I think the Corpo paths gives us a nice peek into the ritzy places. I'm thinking it will look like the office scenes from FF7 Remake.
If you don't know, you can add PS5 games to your library even if you don't have one yet. I just added Bugsnax (November's PS5 free game) to my library via the web browser store and I don't have a PS5 yet. (I found out via Kotaku)
Please return to a cinematic/story driven game. I couldn't finish Andromeda--it felt like all I was doing was collecting rocks like the random planet missions in the first Mass Effect.
Such a beautiful game. The scenery looks like they took the concept art from their art department and went to town with all the details, color and landscape layouts. i feel like we got breath of the wild with better rendering.
I have it on my Switch and it's a joy to play. It looks and sounds great but even the action is superb. You can play cautious or straight up attack everything like a tazmanian devil on speed.
@BalsBigBrother Same!!! I really want it now but I'm really happy with the games I have on PS4 to finish up. If there was a must have title at the launch, I would really want to get it day 1 but I'm totally fine trying to get one after March when the Holiday demands settle. Plus they might have cooler titles lined up by then.
I like the medieval theme--it's a nice balance to the sci-fi of FFVII remake. I was hoping we were back in the world of FF12. It reminds me of when they went away from SF in FF9. I enjoyed FF15 with its cars and radios so mixing things up is cool.
I think a lot of players like me are still waiting for the successor to Phantasy Star Online. The release of #2 is cool but that game is 8 years behind. Maybe use the developers to create a new multiplayer IP?
It would be mind-blowing if they don't abandon the world of V and have it connected to VI. Like in VI, you can hop on the freeway or get on a plane and return to V.
That's awesome!!!! 10 years from now if I wanted to replay the game, there won't be any issues with getting the expanded version, etc. which includes all DLC, add-ons, blah blah blah.
I was furious and livid when they took down all the cool creations shared in the first Little Big Planet that remotely resembled other properties. I'm certainly not touching Dreams if they're going to do that again. Why bother to create and share?
Every time I see Bioware connected with Anthem my hopes dim. There are so many games out there to play and I can't see myself giving this any of my time after what they did with Mass Effect.
This looks amazing but I'm afraid of what happened to the first LBP will happen here...at the start of LBP, there was a flood of great creations based on other stuff like Batman, Nintendo games. etc. They had to do mass deletes of anything that remotely resembled other properties. I'm afraid it might happen in Dreams?
i’m dusting off my copy of D2 to play this. Destiny 2 doesn’t have the same hook of replayability like the original but Bungie still kicks ass in creating cool sci-fi environments and action. Plus they haven’t given up on single player campaigns which i prefer.
God I love Capcom. You can completely ignore these additions and still have fun with MHW. But for us who have enjoyed Devil My Cry from way way back when.....it's a great reminder of all the fun gaming memories Capcom had given us (and I'm sure they're grateful for all the dollars we have sent their way)
More apartment/living options like more spots for pets. Maybe a "forge furniture" option. How about sponsored food like Cup O Noodles as a canteen option.
I love my Switch and I've played the last two 3DS Monster Hunter...my opinion: MH is fantastic and at home on the best platforms possible. The locales are gorgeous and the monsters are even more lifelike. I can't go back to 3DS/low poly graphics.
I was bummed my original simply broke without warning (never sat on it or abused it). Anyways, do we know how to tell if it's the new model? Will is say 7.1 somewhere on the packaging?
Great start--maybe there's truth to the rumors that D2's development had hit a snag and that's why it seems to ignore all the evolution D1 went through to get to it's final form.
I find it easier to NOT play Destiny 2 compared to Destiny 1. I missed an entire week last week and I shrugged it off. I remember having a blast playing the game each week during the first year of Destiny 1--even Thursday was fun with Xur. It's like the hook is gone.
Sounds like it will be fun to play again...after December when everything is in place. Maybe a lot of new players will jump in after they get new consoles so it might be a good month to take a break from D2. Bungie should be worried about Monster World in January--that game looks like a lot of FUN.
Destiny 2 is downright beautiful with fantastic music but it didn't seem to carry anything over from Destiny 1 that made it fun to play for MONTHS. It's like they took all the lessons learned from D1 and tossed them out the window.
I LOVED LOVED Destiny 1 but all of the sneaky things happening behind the scenes (they still haven't fixed the chest cooldown timer) makes me NOT want to continue playing the game. Plus it's no fun having to get powerful items randomly. I've been stuck at 304 on 3 characters for weeks since I can't get certain armor pieces to pop up. I'm going to hold off on getting the expansion until a few weeks after it releases after everyone reviews it.
Meh...random rewards via tokens makes the game a drag no matter how fun the activities are. I had to do the Strikes dozens of times just to randomly get a certain rocket launcher. Once I got it, I never wanted to do another Strike again.
Months later I’ve returned to playing FFXV and Comrades isn’t too shabby as a side game. The character creation is a blast in Comrades. I actually prefer playing the main game—seeing all the dungeons and finishing every hunt possible is still a treat. Even at Level 87, some creatures are hard to kill off. Maybe playing Zodiac Age made me like FFXV again.
The game looks fantastic. I’m still not convinced by this move to buying it but I’m looking forward to watching streams of others playing it to enjoy the view
I cancelled my pre-order after playing the demo. I was shocked that the points for building up items were generated randomly via loot boxes. I despise the random prizes in Destiny 2 so I didn’t want to even bother with Battlefront 2’s economy.
Ugh..the placeholder is up in the US store but it doesn't work. I was hoping to start last night. It looks like a lot of fun but it would suck if people level up super fast and leave others in the dust. I get Phantasy Star Online vibes from it which is an awesome thing for me, personally. Plus I like how the characters look like regular people off of the street.
I cancelled my order when the demo came out when I saw that building up your items was based on random loot box prizes. I'm still not enjoying the grind in Destiny 2 via random token prizes so Battlefront 2 looked more like the same.

Re: Hands On: This Is How Cyberpunk 2077 Runs on PS5, PS4 Pro, and PS4

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 PlayStation Preload Begins 8th December
I guess if you bought a digital copy, be sure to put your PS4 into rest mode the next time you power down before the pre-load becomes available.
Re: PS Plus December 2020 PS5, PS4 Games Announced

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Retail Copies Already Out There, Leaks Are Inevitable
Silver lining: Maybe they will discover some annoying bugs and the digital copies will be patched with bug fixes.

Re: Popular Indie Game Hades May Come to PS5, PS4 'Down the Line'

Re: PS5 Price, Release Date Confirmed: 12th November in US, 19th in EU, $499 Standard, $399 Digital
Digital for me THEN the disc version 3-4 years from now when the PRO PS5 inevitably launches. At that point there will be more used disc games.

Re: Ex-PlayStation Boss Wants to See 15 Hour AAA Titles Return
Give us 15-20 AND don't do any extra DLC stories and whatnot. Stuff the game with everything from the start.

Re: BioWare Asks What Mass Effect Fans Want on N7 Day, As if We Haven't Spent the Last 6 Years Begging for a Trilogy Remaster

Re: Check Out This Extremely Cool Death Stranding Movie Style Poster
Amazing! Gets me excited for elements of the game like...the story, characters, plot.

EA...well at least we know the marketing and the packaging will be cool.
Re: Dreams' Potential Finally Exposed, But Media Molecule Wants to Shut Sharing Down
