@Netret0120 Which is very annoying because the vast majority of games are built for both, forgoing any meaningful graphical wizardry for new games on PS5. Even some PS5 exclusives like Dead Space look and play like last Gen.

I hope this practice goes away. It wasn’t like this with PS3 into PS4 - just a few cross platform games for the first 6 months or so.
It really hurts the idea of a ‘next gen’ experience.

Those games play like crap on PS4 too. I tried Wo-Long and Resident Evil 4 on PS4 just out of curiosity and it’s not pretty. Frame rates are non existent.

I imagine these figures would have been higher if the damn thing was freely available from the jump. PS5 came out in November 2020 and literally couldn’t buy one until Xmas 2022. I’m in Australia - not sure if that makes a difference.

Who are these random characters?

@BeenGamingSince_83 I remember enjoying the ‘Maximum Carnage’ series of comic books when I was a young one. I enjoyed the giant cast of characters in that series.
With the games, I think I’ve been spoiled by the combat in FROMSOFT and Team Ninja games, so when I see this kind of loose, button mashy combat I’m immediately turned off.

I seem to be one of the few that really didn’t like Spider-Man. The combat reminds me of a hyped up Assassins Creed and that’s definitely not a good thing, to me.

Definitely not into “Games as a service” style titles but something about this looks intriguing!
Also a huge fan of Capcom so that helps.

Lame manufactured drama for pendants who like to argue about anything they come across.

@somnambulance You probably dodged a bullet with Warzone. COD games are so predatory.

Back when I was a child my family only had Macintosh computers in the house due to the software my architect father used for his job being Mac only. Back then the only first person shooter that was available was Marathon. I remember it being clunky as hell and had really obtuse level design. The furthest I could get was about level 4 before I couldn’t work out where to go. The days before sites like GameFaqs too, so getting help was near impossible!!

Marathon seems like a really weird IP to resurrect for modern audiences. It a super obscure title.
Anyone else remember it on ancient Mac computers?

I feel kinda sorry for those who get sucked into these predatory loot box games. They really are awful.

I truly doubt a leaker could reveal anything we don’t already know about GTA games, lol.

Sniper Elite 5 is a fun game. Kept me entertained for about 10 hours. Sometimes knowing how you’ve been spotted is a little sketchy though, and forcing you to play areas where sniping isn’t a viable option is not exactly fun. Makes completing missions without being spotted a bit irritating.

Who are Limited Run games? They seem to be responsible for Tomba, Gex and Clocktower remasters. Are they working on other stuff?

Oh wow I’d totally forgotten about this game. I once won a drawing competition for this game for a long-defunct gaming magazine in my country!

As usual an innocent person becomes collateral damage so a mob pathetic losers can get their jollies by bullying people.

@straw-hat-crew It’s great that you can afford to pay for your games. So can I and I’m living on a pension. I save for weeks or months and then buy a game.
Entitled little babies who say things like “I’ll just wait till it’s in the $10 bin” are the problem. They are so self centred they refuse to ever pay full price and have zero understanding of how much games take to make and why so many studios go under.

Lol. Could you be more cynical and disingenuous?

There’s nothing more fun than unskippable walking sections taking literally hours

@Kelrics90 Why do you care so much about always playing as one character? TV shows do what Naughty Dog did all the damn time. Shouldn’t the game itself as a whole be the most important thing?

I forced myself to play the second game, I’m not usually a fan of games with heavy exposition. It was good, and fairly amazing on a technical level.
I just can’t get excited about this kind of game.
I feel like I’m the only one, sometimes.

What a load of nonsense. Pure greed.

Who plays these games? 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Sonic three had my fav music of all sonic games. Sucks it’s not there..

H. R. Giger and Zdzisław Beksiński are enough to get my undivided attention. Huge fan girl of both those legends. Add in some Cronenberg and I’ll do a joyous backflip haha.

I wouldn’t have thought quoting anyone would cost money.. weird.
Love Stephen King. Amazing writer.

This looks very dull..

Surely since it’s an Activision Blizzard game, you can simply pay to win…

The original Marathon on Mac decades ago was basically unplayable. So basically they are making Destiny Again and calling it something nostalgic. Yay.

Good. I’m so sick of cross-gen releases at this point. It feels like the first 3 years (at least) of PS5 AAA releases deliberately gave us crap visuals and missing features so they could pander to the PS4 user base. Give us proper next gen titles, dammit!!!

Cage is a living legend.

Nah I’m not a fan of point and click games which have no reflexes or skills involved.

Horror games with no combat suck.

Capcom constantly release top tier games.

People get too bogged down with numerical scores for games. I’ve played plenty of 6/10 or 7/10 games which were a lot of fun.
Let’s not forget Assassins Creed games get reasonably high scores and are bloody awful.

I’m surprised anyone played this game. Looks awful.

I’d be happy if we saw no more LOTR games. My former housemate used to put on the directors cut DVDs and make us watch the special features too. Horrendously boring stuff - the films and the behind the scenes… Yick

Pay to win virtual currency nonsense, no thanks.

@theMEGAniggle Ok sure, sounds like my information was incorrect. I can admit when I’m wrong! I must have seen only parts of an edited clip which I obviously didn’t study very hard.
I still believe Sony could do it if they wanted to. They are wilfully not releasing a working 60fps version for whatever obtuse (or greedy) reason.

@Zeke68 Oh I must have missed that part. I stand corrected.

@Zeke68 Sorry but this isn’t true, and hasn’t been an issue since the SOTFS version of Dark Souls 2 for PS4. The animations vs framerate fallacy in FROMSOFT games has been thoroughly addressed and debunked.
Lance has already stated (and demonstrated) that Bloodborne runs seamlessly at 60fps by altering a single line of code. He used a jailbroken PS4.

@theMEGAniggle Not true at all. McDonald has previously shown the game running perfectly at 60fps.
Dark Souls 2 had some issues with animation speed when they released the SOTFS version but it was quickly patched. There’s no reason a simple patch couldn’t be implemented if, for whatever reason this occurred with BB.

Lance McDonald has previously stated that only one line of code would need to altered to provide PS4 and PS5 users with a 60fps version of Bloodborne. Why Sony don’t release it, is baffling.
I would even pay for it, no questions asked.

But at the end of the day it’s easily the best Sony exclusive game ever, even at 30fps.

Will he outdo the doggie from Far Cry 5?

@mrbone Dakota was great in the latest Tarantino film.
