@Kidfried@nessisonett I’m completely an uneducated layperson regarding the tech industry, but I have enough insight to know that there’s a lot of inaccurate statements and ill-informed armchair managers that make some ridiculous statements.
I don’t follow them closely but everyone always defers to Digital Foundry for some of the technical detail. I can only assume they know what they’re doing over there. But as far as the business side of things, I definitely agree that a lot of popular websites and gaming journalists seem shockingly ignorant of the industry. Push Square staff are very well grounded and make a great balance of newsy type of reporting and research, occasional industry analytics, dabbling slightly into technical aspects, but keeping the fervor and laid back nature of a fan site replete with outlandish rumors from time to time and stuff like weird Japanese commercials and viral Twitter stories when they apply.

@Kidfried@nessisonett Oh interesting that you mention this. because I have like taught about this about lot to. Its interesting really how little that is shared about game development and decisions given the massive scale of industry these days. I think most game related writing you see these days are very much focused on game reviews and news articles, not necessarily going into other areas. I mean I think there a lot more to cover. I for example remember that used to be some paper magazines here in Sweden that wrote quite excessively about upcoming coming games, interviews etc. Now I guess its mostly Edge magazine and Famitsu that do this kind of stuff hehe.
While it can sound strange I have some unpublished written materials, stuff that I have worked on about games but have hesitated about publishing for various reasons. Also because I understand that self promotion is forbidden here I have been careful not to publish or promote my game related blog hehe.
@Th3solution Oh yeah the writing on this site is I think in general very good.. All the journalists here seems to be great.
JRPGs get praised on here all the time - Ni No Kuni, Trails of Cold Steel, Ys, Nier, Persona, FF7 Remake, Dragon Quest. All of these have been over 8/10.
Sammy has been very positive about 16 in previews, although less impressed with the most recent one. I expect this to score at least 7/10, but I would not be surprised at an 8 or 9/10 either.
It’ll get what it deserves, or close to, I have no doubt. If it’s a 6 then that’s fair enough.
I've nipped to the spar round the corner and am ready for SGF will be tucking into Paprika crisps, Munchies and washing it down with Irn-Bru 😀. Hopefully Geoff brings the goods.
@ManifoldCuriosity I'm going to say 8 for Pushsquare maybe a 9 but 9 from others. Not fussed about reviews, I'm excited for it and will be playing on release day!
A certain ATLUS announcement(s) just got leaked via their Instagram. Not gonna show it here for obvious reasons but good lord someone is absolutely getting fired into oblivion 😭

Quite impressive that in a 2 hour show, there wasn’t a single woman on the stage. Up there with the time Geoff made the world’s most insincere statement about abuse in the industry and then immediately followed it with David Cage’s new Star Wars game.
@AgentCooper Day of the Devs was like an instant switch to what the industry’s actually like for a large number of devs complete with a much more diverse group of guests. Geoff’s shows are corporate so attract the corporate guys. Some great games were showed off there as well, Baby Steps by Bennett Foddy looks great and I’ve been following his stuff since the Flash game days.
@Bentleyma I'm actually so unbelievably excited for this it's been a long time since a game has got me looking forward to a release! I will be picking this up straight away, Ragnarok I was excited for but I even waited for Christmas for that one, this one I just can't wait for.
And I hear your progress from the Demo carries over, I very rarely try Demos but I'll be jumping on this tomorrow! I've made sure that I've finished all my story driven games so I can concentrate on this, I even held off buying Diablo IV so I didn't have any other distractions 😅
Out of curiosity, I wonder how many people actually adjust the controller settings when given the option.
I almost always keep the game’s default controls, even when they aren’t initially intuitive. I’m not sure why I don’t customize. I guess I figure I want to experience the game the way the developer intended…? Or perhaps I’m just too lazy.
The thought occurred to me because after recently playing a few action games that use face buttons for attacks, I know I’m going to have to rewire my brain back to using the triggers for attacks whenever I go back to a FromSoft game.
Do you remap your controller inputs?
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution Only when needed, something like if I feel like the aiming feels too loose or sluggish.
Nothing to do with control settings, but I recently found out what a game changer fiddling with FOV can be, when I recently played a racing game. I forgotten to check on games I've played since though! 😆
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@get2sammyb The Testament of Sherlock Holmes is randomly now on PS4 which I don’t think I’ve seen reported. Just a heads up, there’s a few of us here that like those games!
@TabulaRasa
I love my PS5 and hope it will last for years to come. However if I was thinking of getting one right now I would probably at least wait until the new ones specs are announced so I could make an informed decision on whether to get the base one of the new model. It's hard to say without knowing exactly what it is.

Realising I really don't like the Dualsense all that much. The thing just feels so bulky and weighty in my hands...and while the adaptive triggers and advanced rumble were cool to start with, I personally could live without them. I still think the Dualshock 4 is the best controller Sony have ever made, and is by far the best fit for my hands.
Any suggestions for alternative controllers to the Dualsense for PS5? I realise that there don't seem to be many options. Anything that replicates the Dualshock 4, Xbox controller or Switch Pro Controller would be excellent.
@Buizel I agree with you on the comfort factor. DualSense just doesn’t feel as good in the hands as the DS4. I do like the features though of haptics and triggers.
I’m not familiar with any alternative controllers that work with PS5 games. Of course you can use your DS4 with your PS5 if you’re playing a PS4 game on it.
