I just hope the new operation is better than the last one. Ideally another Tyranid-focused level that is a bit longer. Looking forward to horde mode! π¬
My noob brain can't even comprehend this. I died a thousand times to finish Elden Ring and I was still proud of myself π I guess these games are just gonna keep getting harder and harder for us plebs now, thanks to these streamers π₯²
@Drago201 I'm well aware of that. I was implying that they would remove it from ps+ so that you have to buy the ps5 version if you still want the game. They can't make any money off of anyone who is happy with the ps+ version.
I played System Shock 2 last year (after playing the SS1 remake) for the first time and damn.. it holds up so well. I had just a few graphics mods installed, but everything else in the game - the story, exploration, atmosphere, SHODAN, that twist - was still amazing. Will defintely play the Nightdive re-release ππ»
These State of Play shows are fine if Sony can follow them up with a showcase of whatever big games weren't announced/covered. Timing is everything. Sony has enough games in development to start doing more shows and completely blow us away this year π¬
A few nice surprises, some slop, and half the stuff we've already seen before or knew about already. Opening with Monster Hunter Wilds just set the tone lol π Returnal 2 was the only real exciting announcement ππ»
Currently slicing through the first 3 games and can't believe I have been sleeping on this franchise!! π€― Absolutely amazing! Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is a gift from the gods ππ»
What ever happened to companies reusing assets from a canceled game to make a completely new game, instead of wiping it and closing the studio? Some of the biggest games/franchises have been created from other canceled projects, like Resident Evil 4 (canceled Devil May Cry game) and Assassin's Creed (canceled Prince of Persia game). Wild. Like take what Naughty Dog worked on, for example. Whatever they were doing didn't work, but they had TLOU assets made for that. Why not just repurpose what has been created already into Factions 2? That worked. They have the blueprint for that. Surely Spiderman: The Great Web could have also been salvaged. Just sad.
They removed the video out to save a few cents??? π€£ WTF π€¦π»ββοΈ Sony could've had a Switch-like success story with the Vita, had they kept it... and done away with those pesky memory cards ofcourse..
A game that redefined what a video game could be. Modern art. This game is always in my conscience. Nier is life. Now... time for the next game to make an appearance π₯Ή
It was a highlight in gaming for me this year. It's nice that games get recognized and given awards but that doesn't phase me as much. Some of the reveal trailers were genuinely surprising, exciting and one even had me tear up a bit π₯Ή Geoff did good this year and knows what the people want. The show can do without The Muppets though..
That PS1 startup sound and logo made me giggle like a little kid π How wonderful. I still remember getting my PS1 back in the day... gosh I'm getting all choked up now π₯Ή
Good month. Aliens Dark Descent is actually very good. It nails the tense atmosphere and stress of the second film. It might not look like it, but trust me once you start playing it gets quite scary and panic inducing π«
Feels too soon for any substantial DLC π€ Maybe a few in-game items or a single quest or something. One of the surprises could be a PS5 Pro patch perhaps? Maybe some sort of crossover? Anything could happen these days π
I'm all for DLC being included (ok.. maybe they should have their own category), given how substantial some additional content, like Shadow of the Erdtree and Phantom Liberty for example, have become. Those are like whole new games and better than a lot of full games in my opinion. A lot of work also goes into projects like those and I think they are worthy of recognition. Shadow of the Erdtree made me fall for Elden Ring all over again and it was glorious.
Any excuse to talk about HL2 is fine by me π I'm still not over the fact that Sony didn't strike a deal to get Alyx on the PSVR2... we would be living in a very different world right now.
I wish we can just get some solid info on this and not these vague explanations π€¦π»ββοΈ I think we can already guess that the AI will upscale the resolution, but the current PS5 already boosts PS4 games with variable frame rates just fine, so we need to know if locked 30fps games will get some sort of boost. That's what the people want to know! π¬ Give us the numbers!
My god that OG camera angle made the game so much more difficult because you couldn't see too far ahead of you and enemies could spot you off-screen π« Instant alarm!
@OthmaneAD Just because you don't like something doesn't make it rubbish or crap in general π Annapurna has been a generally great studio with great games. Facts.
I've been playing the Sniper Elite games since V2 came out and the series has consistently been an absolute blast! Always improving in some way, pushing the boundaries of AA gaming. Never too fussed with realism for the sake of just being really fun. The difficulty options and new mechanics in recent titles really changed the way I play and added some more challenge. Interested to see how they innovate in this new title.
This is less than 2 minutes of gameplay from a 40+ hour game. There's no way I'm gonna use this as a benchmark for the game's performance. Any game with performance issues still has moments of smooth gameplay.
