It’s such a slap in the face to those of us that supported the base model and have yet to see enough from Sony to justify even upgrading from a PS4 Pro. Downright disrespectful to immediately go from cross-gen games to selling us a version that will run new games ‘properly’.
She was never a very strong actress and she’d have to bulk up an awful lot to carry this. I’d personally rather somebody more muscular, Lara Croft runs and jumps enough to make her look more like one of the Gladiators than a model.
FemShep > BroShep any day of the week. Both are good but BroShep’s incredibly awkward delivery is unintentionally hilarious at times and just wouldn’t translate to TV. FemShep would be a better outcome for a potential show.
@RoomWithaMoose Ah but pointing this out is ‘unconstructive’. Who cares about facts when you can slander striking workers? I’m so thankful for all those billionaires who pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and weren’t handed a small loan of a million dollars or profited from their father’s apartheid emerald mine.
@PegasusActual93 Archbishop of Canterbury literally just resigned because of covering up child abuse. Catholics get the heat when it’s a multi-faith issue.
@ChimpMasta Have you seen the original Concord sketches? It’s nothing to do with character design, all sauce seems to have been sucked out in the actual 3D modelling process.
@AfroMario Genuinely unhinged thing to comment. East Asian countries often mask up when there’s something as simple as a cold, and South Korea’s SARS outbreak would tend to instil the common sense to wear masks, never mind the Covid pandemic.
Depends really. I don’t mind 80 hours of Assassin’s Creed but I couldn’t do an 80 hour COD campaign. A 10 hour Naughty Dog game is OK, a 10 hour Bethesda game would feel like a rip off.
This is insane, OW1 was horribly balanced on launch. There’s definitely a golden era round about Brig and Sig’s debuts (controversial considering Brig’s balancing at first). As it stands the only healers will be Mercy, Lucio and Zen. It will be 6v6 DPS only at this rate. You don’t even get the hilarity of DPS Doom, he wasn’t launched yet. Just a bit weird to consider a game without Moira, I haven’t played it recently but she was literally in every single match I played from her debut onwards.
@kevinm360 My teacher’s mate was responsible for the shadow work in FIFA games for years. Not sure if he made the transition into Frostbite but i can’t imagine that was the most engrossing work back in the day. Besides, computing jobs are f*cked in the UK in general, Brexit means most companies pissed off. My degree’s largely useless.
@TheDudeElDuderino Nah, other way round, we’ll get far far more unoptimised games on PS5 now that’ll benefit from brute force PS5 Pro specs. Wouldn’t be surprised if there were financial incentives from Sony to ensure that.
One thing people are failing to realise about the disc drive is that buying one means your PS5 Pro is now a 4K Blu-Ray player which adds massive value just in itself. For £700 that’s the least you can ask, never mind having to pay £800 or even more if stock issues persist.
The modern day stuff has varied in quality but it’s an essential part of the games, without it, it’s just another open world series. They need to go back to basics, conspiracy theories, illuminati and solid reasons for exploring that specific time period. Now that half the public figures the games accused of being Templars are dead, let’s just double down on it with missions to assassinate Thatcher, Putin etc.
Baaaaaad beta, but then that’s the point of it. Lay off QA staff while letting players do it for you, except now you have to hire more marketing staff to offset the effects of actually letting people play an unfinished build.

Re: Australia's Planned Social Media Ban to Include PSN
@Flaming_Kaiser Because it has a messaging aspect that is used to exploit young people. I don’t necessarily agree with it, but that’s the reason.
Re: Australia's Planned Social Media Ban to Include PSN
To be honest, under 16s should be forced to at least have their account in private mode. Far far too many cases of grooming.
