There isn't really much use for the Vita store anyway. No discounts, no PS+ games to be given to members, no new titles added (that 1 indie game per year won't stir the waters anyway).
Despite all those praises, this still is a title which more-or-less will be played in sub-4k@60fps by majority. Will there ever be an AAA game with native 4k@60 to trully represent "next-gen" ?
These games began to go down the drain with the 2013 Tomb raider, simply because of less exploration and more "kill-em-all" COD-style elements...just saying.
I have ongoing plans never to support cashgrabing rushed projects like this, no matter how many patches they throw at it. You simply don’t buy a new car and wait for the manufacturer to add all components necessary for it to work.
How is it that pre-PS3 era games didn’t need patches (couldn’t even receive any in fact)? What is this unfinished rubbish that’s being released these days? Companies promising patches? Who cares? How am i gonna patch/play my physical 60€ game in 15 years from now ? Imho in cases like this and Cyberpunk there should be a complete re-release with all being patched up & the current version refunded.
Wondering, why is this an issue at all...certainly wouldn't call it a debacle...Cyberpunk 2077 was a debacle...not this. Oh I'm so shocked someone got the chance to burn their 60$ sooner than the others.
@SweetSummerShunv releasing a console provides a certain "guarantee" the games throughout its lifecycle will run fine. Releasing a pre-built PC won't promise you any solid gaming experience beyond 2 years after it's purchase However...it would be a funny term analogy ... PC Workstation for the office VS PC PlayStation for playing
It's like on a concert when you waste like 2 hours with this pre-group before Metallica comes on stage. To me, this is merely an appetizer what GT7 will bring
@MakersMark my point was to say that there are way too many fancy tech features for the devs to be implemented these days...yet the console HW is obviously not capable to handle all of them at once. Im not a PC gamer (have modest gaming laptop and 9 consoles). What I would like to see is a game optimized for console use at day 1. I don't care what HW is used for development. From the end-user point of view that should really be not relevant. With PS5 and XBOX X being priced like they are, we should be provided with games that do not need settings fiddling and/or performance compromises. Was really hoping next-gen would be about enjoying of all those fancy tech perks on a 4k TV without any cuts or compromises.
Honestly...this generation of games feels so very much weird...it was not so log ago, when it was pretty much a guarantee a console game would run at its optimised best possible settings when popped in a console. Tweaking and tampering with settings used to be the fetish of PC gamers I don't want to make compromises between framerate/raytracing or resolution on a 600EUR console.
Ah, I miss those good old days when games quality was measured by the fun factor, not by hectolitres of blood, loot boxes and tons of used ammo :/ Wish they would bring back the glory of Ape Escape, Jak & Daxter, Kula World, Twisted Metal, Syphon Filter and the likes of those...
Its just sad that they present NaughtyDog primarily as creators of TLOU instead of crediting them for Crash Bandicoot and Jak & Daxter….Insomniac should be remembered for Spyro as well…
Nintendo has been charging big bucks for recycled IP for decades...yet Sony gets all the hate in 2021. C'mon, they need to make up for those Cyberpunk refunds in some way...
Is it just me or hardly any developers know how to actually implement the dualsense features into the games? Appart from Astro pre-installed on PS5, no game seems to take proper advantage of that. Sony wanted to go the Nintendo way at least a few yards with adding playability/enjobable features to the next gen but all those studios just focus on 60fps/4k and day-one patches...seems they dont give two f*cks about the PS5 features that separate it from the pre-previous gen...
what do they mean by "full integration" ? IMHO voicechat-only is not full integration...considering text messaging...well...dualshock is not exactly qwerty-friendly, right?
Just imagine a distant post-apo future, where the read/write cycles of that internal SSD are maxed out...the PS4 battery drama is nothing compared to what lies ahead of us
Hmm...backwards compatibility with previous gen...where did I hear this before...oh right, read that via Firefox on my OG PS3 running the Yellow dog linux in between swapping PS2 DVDs for nostalgia (and backwards compatibility) reasons...
LOL i thought the only blackmailing prerequisite for online play was PS+ membership...now this as well. Oh well...so much for keeping a low firmware for possible future exploits
Now that's some biased review right there...it's a platformer for young gamers...what do you expect from it?? Raytracing with TombRaider mechanics? So far, i've only played the demo, liked it...nice piece of casual time-passer. Inability to jump with certain costumes? hallo?? DOOM anyone? Backtracking seen as negative?? Wake up! Remember Crash Bandicoot hunting for Gems/Relics?? Seriously...
