Getting Soma vibes when the character sticks her hands in that alien tech. Sadly, Rogue-lites are not for me, unless it was co-op orientated like Remnant. I think I would find this frustrating rather than fun, but can appreciate people who like this sort of niche genre. It's one of those games I'd at least like to try, if Sony had a Gamepass-like subscription model.

@arsmolinarc been and gone! The PS3 / Xbox 360 was essentially the re-release / HD upgrade. Due to licensing, it's now been removed. It was also released on iOS.

@truerbluer Good to know! Sorry if I aided in spreading misinformation in this case bud
Edit: on a side note, @ZhugeEX was called out on being an Xbox shill again on Twitter today =0p I actually missed this post you linked to!

@truerbluer I'm just going to leave this here... https://twitter.com/JezCorden/status/1384680324257439745?s=20
If true, It would appear that Sony also dabble in holding things back for parity.

@SegataSanshiro I'm glad someone else sees my point of view. I'm currently running a 3rd Gen Intel I7 PC from 8-9 years ago & I'm still able to run current games (I was running a GeForce 970 but upgraded to a 1660 Super recently) at 4K 50-60 FPS. Yes, I might have to scale back some of the graphical options, but my rig still serves at a good mid range option when considering GPU.

@truerbluer Indeed! We will have to wait and see what happens. If I'm proved wrong, then I'm going to have to pick out the most digestible of hats =0p

@truerbluer thanks, I shall give the articles a read.
I still don't think developers can really argue that the S will be holding back the generation. Just look at PC - millions of different combinations of components & specifications - some games will be playable on a potato at low res, others will of course require a NASA rig, but a lot of these game will have to playable at entry level - mid-range specs as well as top end.
In a hypothetical world, I'm sure Ratchet & Clank could work on the S, just not at 4K 60FPS & most likely without some of the post processing effects etc. Ultimately though, that game is designed with one platform in mind - the PS5, because it's engineered just for one platform.
I don't deny that things can be made difficult with multiple spec options, but this is not going to go away anytime soon because developers for PC put up with it and we'll have mid-gen upgrades again in 3-4 years and games will have to work on new improved consoles as well as the base consoles.
PS5 / Xbox SX just isn't that much of a leap up from PS4 Pro / Xbox One X - I'm sure the handful of specific new console games like Demon Souls could have actaully run on past gen hardware too. Yes, we're all enjoying 60FPS with some bells & whistles like faster loading times etc, but we've barely begun.
Halo Inifinte just wasn't the huge leap everyone expected. Covid also has a lot to answer for. The game was clearly underbaked, and not just in the graphics department. No use in launching broken, half finished games - the developers need room to breathe in these trying times.

@truerbluer what a load of rubbish. Have you not heard of scaling? All the same content would be there regardless of whether a console has slightly less power than the alternative; it will just not look quite as pretty with a different resolution and/or run at the same FPS. If anything, it's the last generation that's holding everything up as most games lauching over the next 1-2 years will likely be multiplatform. By your definition, PS5's power is also holding up parity as it's not as powerful as the SX (which as we've seen, there's actually very little difference, but each system have barely pushed the capabilites yet). I wish people would just enjoy games for what they are, regardless of the system. Stick your Sony snobbery eleswhere.

Surely it does exactly what it says on the tin; implements gyro aiming. Just beacuse it doesn't let you use the analogue stick doesn't mean it's 'busted'. Misleading headline.

@OneManDroid You mean the actual 3% of people reading this site who have actually managed to buy a PS5?

Bloodbourne Remastered confirmed to run at 12FPS on PS5 - bringing 'fun back to gaming'.

It can be equal parts amazing and rage quittingly frustrating. Depends on the servers & the people you play with or ultimately against. I had several months of fun times with this title, only to be greeted with toxic teams of 12+ who prey on the weak & raid the little guy bases overnight, consistently over many weeks. Seeing your hardwork reduced to null in seconds is soul destroying. For this reason, I decided to give it a break as it just proved to be stressful & made me angry. It also kind of takes over your life as I was logging on every day, even if it was just to do an hour of resource gathering for base maintenance.

Stadia exclusive, but only for those with Starlink internet Access.

@naruball It's crazy isn't it? I got called a snowflake for sticking up for women's rights. Gawd knows the amount of grief I'd get if petitioned for an easy mode in DS!

There is another easy mode option.... check out YouTube for a playthrough.

The begining of the end for Sony. I think that now you can play Skyrim on the fridge and Doom on a pregnancy test, there's not much point investing huge amounts of money on a box that doesn't even toast crumpets.

The game looks great, but I do have some reservations about the sudden requirement for heavy grinding in the 'drab dungeon' towards the end as a few reviewers have pointed out. Usually don't have an issue with a bit of grinding; the term is usally synonymous with even the best titles in many of the JRPGs I've played. I guess there's only one way to find out if the battle system holds out well long term ^_^

@SoulChimera The serial number should go through fine now. Make sure to go through Google to get the right region for redemption, thus negating the need to call support. Even though I had the right region to begin with, I thought best to make sure it didn't auto change based on my IP address location.

@Nakatomi_Uk The MP was ace - sunk soooo many hours into it! If they can tidy things up, then I'll be sinking many more hours into it. It's still a great looking game for its age, so I'm not too fussed by a massive graphical overhaul (OK, maybe the first one has aged a fair bit).

@LiamCroft I think they mean 5K support =0p

I revisted 3 earlier this year, only to find it was rather clunky in the controls department. I think I've been spoilt by more modern gaming standards, so I hope the remasters address this area.

@SoulChimera eventually got mine sorted. Tried again on Friday afternoon and it went through first time.

@SoulChimera thank you for letting me know bud!
I tried to contact Sony via the links, but it only gives you a certain selection, like hardware or account related issues - hopeless!

Tried today in the UK and it's giving me errors. Doesn't seem to recognise my serial number and says I should contact support or the retailer... joy!

So, Ghost of Tsushima is not a free PS5 upgrade? It's just counted as backwards compat with upgrades?

@darkswabber I find CEX to be very expensive. Pick any of those games on that list and I bet it will be twice as expensive (Berseria is £12, Persona 5 is £18 etc) eBay is your best bet!

@naruball E+ article headline for a B+ rumour. Grading them is not enough though; they need tougher sentences! =0p

Rumour is, this is a real rumour. Rumours of real rumours are now really real and not just rumours. Can there really be any weight to these real rumours? It depends if it's really a real rumour and whether the rumour has some real weight to it. We will have to wait and see regarding the weight and whether it's really real or whether it's just another rumour...

Correction: 'It doesn't make money for us'

...& if you wait long enough, Jin will have a number two in a bush

@tameshiyaku maybe a bad example then, but there's been quite a few others that had either a restriction or been cut short in its prime, despite having both critical and audience acclaim.

Even Lethal difficulty is way too easy. I'm having to play with one hand behind my back & the screen off just to give myself some extra challenge.
Seriously though, Medium is fine for me. My gaming skills are nowhere near as good as they used to be, & despite having some experience with Dark Souls / Bloodbourne, I'm enjoying this less punishing tale & taking in the sights inbetween stabbing and slashing ^_^

@Grindagger what worries me more is if they decide to axe after a few seasons, just like pretty much all their other shows at the mo. Lost in Space, Sabrina, Dark & and others are coming to close way too early. We'll be lucky if Netflix's Witcher gets to cover half of the books, let alone all of them.

@ShogunRok Apologies if this has already been covered, but can you confirm if the PS4 Pro Options are 1080p at (fixed / stable) 60 FPS & 4K (Full or dynamic?) at 30FPS (variable) please?

@Paranoimia I found it difficult to care about the campaigns in Halo, with the exception of the first & Halo Reach, the latter being spectactular. I think the magic was really in the multiplayer.
I think when you hold a game up to a benchmark series it's always going to be difficult to impress. They're a small team & no doubt they'll learn from their mistakes with this title & produce something superior.

Good timing! Just got my copy today ^_^

I'm still wary of Bethesda after the abysmal launch for Rage 2 & its terrible optimisation across the board.

& we were so close to getting this too...

So Microsoft & Nintendo are allowed to test their IP on other devices, but Sony isn't? What's wrong with Guerrilla Games / Sony making some extra money to put towards their next games? They are effectively doing some marketing by showing PC players what they are missing, 3 years after the intial release on PS4.

If it did, wouldn't it only be setting them back by a month anyway?

@Stocksy Most likely because it's become a meme; everything created by fans like the Pokemon Uranium, the browser based Mario game & many others often get hit by Nintendo's legal team with cease & desist orders, so much so that it's inevitable that anything else that appears to use their IP in some shape or form will get treated in a similar way. Most fans will be reacting in a comedic way, rather than actually being serious.

@Stocksy Dreams is community based creation tool & the content uploaded is free, so why would people on Nintendolife moan about a name homage & want the project shut down with a cease & desist? You make the readers / commenters on NL sound like bottom orifices.

This was the kind of stuff that was supposed to drop this generation, so you could at least start your game whilst the rest of the game downloads. I haven't come across a single game that could do this beyond getting to the title screen...

I don't understand what the issue is here; if people want inverted controls then just turn the controller upside down.

I would say it's highly likely they will offer two types of PS5 at launch. Xbox will be doing it with their next console. All of the phone manufacturers do it, just look at Samsung and Apple. It does make you wonder what they would do mid-gen... presumably a slim model with minor enhancements perhaps?

@Judal27 Uh... 6 weeks is not that far away. Be patient! =0p

@Nickolaidas Thankfully, I was joking =0p

This looks / sounds incredible - that soundtrack alone has given me chills. Pre-ordered the £129.99 Collector's Edition which includes a Spartan decal for the ship and some vinyl stickers.

@JuggaloRazzam insane... must be nice to load a web page instantly! My conection is barely good enough for online play. Feels like being back in the dark ages of the 56K modem at times!

@soracloud28 This is their third and final announcement - the second one in between Spongebob and this was Darksiders Genesis.
