The lack of competition in the comic book movie space kind of makes me sad. I wish there were better alternatives to the multiverse stuff marvel is doing right now. I kind of miss Fox having the X-men license tbh. They weren't always the greatest movies, but I truly do love some of them. So I'm hoping James Gunn can right the DCU ship.
I'm gonna finish shadow.of the tomb raider. Im actually really enjoying replaying this tomb raider trilogy again. I was gonna trying to play blops 6 but the PC gamepass version isnt working for me
Sadly I don't trust any console companies to keep digital stores open and I don't wanna have a console that becomes e waste so if they go all digital I'll be out. Atleast on pc it's a open platform
@JosephTheSheik it's really odd to me that portal didn't make it to PS/Xbox. Especially PlayStation 4/5 considering it will be the only modern consoles that don't have portal available on them.
@supergurr I've seen framerate analysis on switch and played both. Vita is very similar even before the overclock you can do. It has a few stutters due to translating Android code to vita code tho. Switch has better graphics, but considering it's running similar to something from the homebrew scene on weaker hardware is sad. If I had to bet it's probably playing at a lower resolution at points on switch.
I feel like they're reluctant to do so with the raise in prices. If they go down in price quickly very few will buy it at 70. They could also be going the Nintendo route of keeping their prices high.
@naruball maybe you did. As I said I didnt see more than 1 in the us and it was the one they got sued over. I swear sony saved the ad money for the ps4 launch because those were unavoidable. I don't hate the thing in fact I love it, I just don't like how Sony treated it.
I always felt like sony didn't care out of the gate. Modnation racers launch with an online multiplayer and the ds had that feature. It just felt like sony said push it out and I don't remember sony advertising it much at all. I think I saw 1 ad it's whole existence.
I feel like they should be available as a thank you to ps4 anyways tbh. Plus it's a great way to get people to sign up for the online service if they are on the fence about paying for it.
@TheArt I never had a PS2 in its heyday. I had a GameCube because we had an n64 so my parents went with the next Nintendo console. I really regret selling the games tho. They've become really expensive. The GameCube broke so we naturally bought a backwards compatible wii.
@Ryall I doubt it, all the assassin's creed ran at 60 just fine on pc. I'm guess this is down to games looking better at 30 fps. There will never be a 60fps only generation on consoles. There is always going to be the developers that pushes the graphics for marketing reason.
I always notice quite a few loading screen or loading stutters in unreal engine 4 games. So i'm assuming that the overhead is a bit larger than games that often time use their own engine or what features they used. As they said the lighting pass can uses alot of ram if they used the unreal's lightmass. I've read in a couple forums that can be memory intensive because it isn't real time, but it's baked lighting. I'd imagine given the smaller budget they used the tools in unreal rather than customizing it to something better. I'm sure it did hold them back, but I'm sure all developers can say that in some way or another.
@Yokaixyokai barely? their current console is selling really well and has already outsold the console that is often viewed as their hayday (the snes). Just because it hasn't been as successful as the playstation doesn't mean that they and xbox are barely in the race. They're doing fine too.
I am a huge fan of the implementation of the it in days gone. I suppose it doesn't help I also tend to play switch alot and they use it more on that platform even though the ps4 probably is very much on par with it's gyro controls.
Id love to see the 2k team of old to get ahold of this license, but we know 2k isn't much better than ea these days. Maybe the competition would help get some better football games.
@Heavyarms55 I'd guess the capital the studio would gain from the sale is better than the thought of trying to go third party on other consoles. During the time that they were producing non-playstation ips they either weren't that great (fuse) or didn't sell well (Sunset Overdrive). I'm not sure about their oculus work, but if they want to continue that they can always go the psvr route.
@Scoobijohn Nope Insomniac wanted to own that IP when they were searching for a publisher. They have said they own it in the past. So if a sequel does happen it will be under sony.
@nessisonett It doesn't even sound like that is the problem. It sounds like they're just using the disc as a download code with this game probably because the game is shipping unfinished.
They got cocky at the beginning of this console gen, and now it seems to be bite them in the *** now, hopefully they don't go the way of sega, but it seems like they might, if they keep this up

Re: GTA Vice City's Fan PS Vita Port Pitted Against Nintendo Switch Remaster
The San Andreas port is pretty good as well. It's not perfect on vita, but it probably runs the same if not better than switch tbh.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Approaching Two Months Absent from PS Store
It's gonna have to be perfect because now cdpr created the expectation that sony will give them a refund if they have a problem with the game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 361
Sunset overdrive on the PC, I really hope we eventually get a sequel since insomniac still owns it.

@KingPev how dare they keep playstation users informed before they make a buying decision!
Re: Sony Banning PS5 Owners for Exploiting PS Plus Collection
They should just allow ps4 owners to access them anyways as a thank you imo.

Re: Sony Considered Raising PS5 Game Prices Beyond $70, Says New Report
Personally I won't even be paying $70. I've always waited for sales in most cases anyways, but ill definitely be waiting alot more on the ps5 side
Re: PS5 Doesn't Have a Web Browser
If I had to guess it's related to webkit based exploits on previous consoles.

Re: PS5 Games Will Be Cross-Gen for Some Time, Reckons Frogwares Dev
It doesn't surprise me at all. When this gen we had quite a few cross gen games last gen. Some where decent ports and others were shadow of mordor.
Re: The Outer Worlds Was Held Back by Console Memory Budgets
I always notice quite a few loading screen or loading stutters in unreal engine 4 games.

Re: Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Doesn't See Sony As Competition Going Forward
@Yokaixyokai barely? their current console is selling really well and has already outsold the console that is often viewed as their hayday (the snes). Just because it hasn't been as successful as the playstation doesn't mean that they and xbox are barely in the race. They're doing fine too.
Re: Talking Point: Why Don't More PS4 Games Use Gyro Aiming?

Re: Release Date Leaked for SpongeBob Rehydrated, and It's Going Up Against The Last of Us 2

Re: Uncharted 2, 3, and The Last of Us PS3 Multiplayer Servers Go Offline Tomorrow
@AdamNovice and Microsoft isn't losing money? If Sony's going to make people pay for online they really should be better about keeping servers up.
Re: Uncharted 2, 3, and The Last of Us PS3 Multiplayer Servers Go Offline Tomorrow
@AdamNovice they've shut down ps4 servers already. Gravity Rush 2's didn't even make it to two years.
