Re: Poll: How Much Do You Care About 60fps on PS5?

What I don't understand is why developers sometimes lower the resolution so much to get a performance mode that we sit with a blurry mess of a game. Rather reduce the overall fidelity and keep the resolution at 4k and the fps solid. The game will look all the better for it. 4k60 should be the target for performance modes (although 1440p has also been fine) and fidelity can take a hit. I must say though.. whatever Shift Up did with Stellar Blade's balanced mode is magic and should be the standard going forward.

Sony needs to lock in Half Life Alyx as a PSVR2 title at some point to make it more attractive (should've been a launch title). And FFS developers need to port over more PSVR games that could be played with the Dualshock 4, like the Wipeout Omega Collection and Star Wars Squadrons, for example... but I digress. I'm mildly excited for the SoP!

I knew this was going to be a successful product 🀣 There are a lot more dads/husbands/boyfriends out there that have to share a TV than people realize.. and now they can do that and still game. Or people that just like handhelds. Also, it's just a very well made, quality device. Waiting for this to launch in my country 😬

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Armored Core 6?

Gave it a 9. Runs beautifully on the PS5. Some environments are just breathtaking. Controls nicely for the frantic nature of the game. Got a lot of Zone of the Enders vibes as well (I don't ever see people referencing this) and my Elden Ring PTSD definitely resurfaced a few times lol..... Unexpected (but unsurprising) difficulty in boss fights made me learn all the game's systems and really experiment with different builds until I got the right one for the fight. Genius game design.

Yea ok so not too much on first party games but holy hell there were some good announcements. All the MGS3 Remake rumors were true, there's a MGS collection coming! Sword of the Sea looks utterly mind-blowing! Towers of Aghasba looks insane, visually. That Alan Wake 2 gameplay!! And release date!! Same for AC Mirage omg!! Phantom Blade 0 looks really cool and yea, some cool venom Spiderman gameplay. Really not a bad show. Did it for me. The first-party showcase will come.

Re: Not Even Sony's Been Able to Avoid the Enormous Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Hype

I've had a concerning lack of sleep since Friday, because time is just a construct when playing TOTK πŸ˜… Completely sucked in and mesmerized by everything going on in that game.. and on such a little system. In a time where some big AAA releases are unfathomably buggy as hell.. we are yet again reminded why Nintendo has the best rated games of all time πŸ‘ŒπŸ»
I hope FF16 is Sony's TOTK moment 😏
