There's no doubt that it looks incredible, especially in screen shots and even in motion.

But I worry about fast movement, that's where 30fps really stands out.

Like if you drive a fast car and look left or right, it's hard to miss the travel between frames in any media when you mix high velocity and a perpendicular view direction

@Nepp67 I wasn't aware, though thanks for the heads up!

No 60fps mode even with other graphical settings reduced is a poor showing at this stage of the PS5 lifecycle.

It doesn't sound like they've optimised very well.

I can't think of any PS5 games I have that don't have a decent performance mode.

That's not the PS5 expansion.

Going by the button prompts it's the Xbox or more likely PC version.

I'd have just written The Witcher 3 Expansion.

Always find it weird on this site that they put the PS5 game or PS5 DLC in the headline for multiplatform stuff, it's not incorrect but it sort of implies it's the only platform it's available for.

@GirlVersusGame Bobby Fingers isn't a gaming channel, he's difficult to define but essentially you'll be watching a guy physically craft diaramas of famous pop culture moments, but it's also much more than that. I don't want to spoil anything so I'll leave it at that. Enjoy!

@GirlVersusGame Yeah I don't often find YouTubers that suit my tastes either. I got my neice into him too.

I'll have to look up the Gerard Williams ones.

I've definitely seen him do a run with all of the negative traits and no positives. He was both claustrophobic and agoraphobic, so he was in a state of panic whether he was indoors or outdoors, which meant he couldn't get to sleep unless he was inside a massive room (a barn I think). That had me creased with laughter.

I occasionaly watch certain Super Mario speedrunners or some souls challenge runs by LobosJr but my most favourite thing on YouTube right now would be Bobby Fingers, it's not gaming related but I HIGHLY recommend his videos, start from the beginning if you check him out.

I just recalled another AA Zomboid character, have you seen that guy that subsists solely on worms? Where he burn more calories simply digging them up than gets from ingesting them... love it!

@GirlVersusGame Haha that's a very Kenshi way of playing Kenshi!

I love Ambiguous Amphibian, his Torsolo (I think he called the character) was amazing. I find his commentary really entertaining, he's mastered a way of pronouncing words comically, in that way he sort of reminds me of Matt Berry. I could watch him play Minesweeper he's that entertaining.

Years ago I went to a Zomboid meetup (just before the Steam release) in Newcastle Upon Tyne that Indie Stone hosted, I asked them about a ton of stuff, console ports were/are intended, though I think that'll be once the official release version comes out. With the way Zomboid's Steam Workshop functions with an in-game mod load order menu, I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled that off on console too. It was my favourite thing to play on Steam Deck, suits a controller very well.

I've wanted to play Rimworld for years, I just haven't found the time as I'm pretty sure it'll be all consuming.

@GirlVersusGame I played Driver 1 and Metal Gear Solid 1+2 around their releases, I occasionally revisit MGS and would Driver too if I still had it.

It is nice when you get completely absorbed in something at the same time as others, makes for engaging conversations.

If you like indies and you like zombies have you played Project Zomboid? In my humble opinion the greatest/truest zombie survival experience shy of an actual zombie apocalypse. The Indie Stone who made it are lovely people too, worth your support!

Why wouldn't you just say what it is and where you can get it?

I used to find trailers for multi platform games that just ended with the PlayStation logo alone misleading too.

@8th_Observer "Fully agree with all that, but there’s always discourse from those terminally online types who see the hobby as a pissing contest instead of fun."

Fair play, I get where you're coming from. Though I'd make one last point in that by partaking in that discussion and throwing all the same (although inverse) talking points around it makes it difficult to tell you apart from "them" sometimes.

But I totally agree that all that stuff is incredibly annoying and just gets in the way of the fun.

@8th_Observer "@Trojan Yet you tagged me in post #40?"

The person who posted the first comment deleted it, perhaps your browser window needs a refresh? That might solve it, as right now they tagged you in #39 on my screen.

@8th_Observer I don't wish to offend you, but I mainly notice you and handful of others making the claim. I rarely notice the other side of it. Either way, it seems a waste of time and energy to bother with it all.

I've been into PC gaming for decades, same with PlayStation and Nintendo, I've had a few Xbox consoles too among other systems.

Pretty much all fanboys occupy the same frequency range of noise in my head, they're all screaming into the void.

I love those people who paste their PC Specs into every comment they post, or mention constantly what expensive hardware they bought (which includes the more premium editions of consoles), it means I don't have to read whatever they're putting out there, saves me a lot of time.

It doesn't matter on what system you play your games, it just matters whether or not you're having fun doing so.

I hate leaks, not the vegetable, love a good stew with some leeks in the mix.

@Max_the_German I had a similar perspective as to waiting for a remake of Bloodborne (having already played the rest of the FromSoftware souls-likes).

I've yet to actually complete it as I keep thinking "wouldn't this be nice to do a first full playthrough at 60fps" but what an incredible game regardless.

It is a great shame indeed what was done with Bluepoint.

@8th_Observer Why all the generalising? Were you collecting all this evidence as time passed or are you making stuff up?

I get wanting to have a healthy ecosystem for your games, which exclusives definitely help with.

But when you're pointing the finger at fanboys whilst clearly batting for your chosen side, you do realise you come across as a pretty diehard fanboy right?

@GirlVersusGame Wow, did you just do the main story missions to complete them?

Aww I love the expansions for the 4th game, might have to play Ballad Of Gay Tony again soon.

Yeah the online stuff isn't for me. I tend to just resent the extra storage it takes up, I'm pretty sure the 5th more than doubled in size, which is crazy when you've no interest in that part of it. I think they should have given everyone who owned the base game the Online version free (or charged) and kept it separate.

They have a fair point but the vast majority of moments happen across multiple platforms.

edit: And they'll all be emulated in the end.

edit edit: Except if they're streaming only...

As much as I don't want an all digital console future, I'm not throwing away what I've already invested into the ecosystem.

I'm busy finishing Banjo Tooie with a load of rom hacks to follow so my PlayStations won't be used this week, but I'm not gonna cut off my nose to spite my face, I've got like 30-50 more playthroughs of Last Of Us 2 to be getting on with.

@GirlVersusGame Yeah it's not grabbing my attention much yet either, but I think it's mainly my history with the 5th instalment putting me off, it's something I started many times and always burned out on.

Plus if it's a digital only game I'd rather hold out to see what the PC version is like and whether it releases on a digital store I like.

There's a slim chance I somehow get whipped up into the fever of it all and buy it on PS5, but I've put a break on my non-PC digital purchasing, though I'm sure there will be the occasional exclusive that haunts me night and day.

@RoomWithaMoose lol yeah I thought that was odd too. Swimming middle of the stream in Sony's wake while calling other people sheep.

I'm not much into multiplayer these days but I'd likely have played this a hell of a lot. Frustrating it wasn't passed on to another team/studio.

@Max_the_German That's what I've been doing. Cancelled plus (renewal would be next month) and stopped buying digital on all consoles (though I'm fine with DLC if something comes around before this generation ends).

"built-in microphone with AI-powered noise rejection" is this another case of relabelling old tech as "AI"? Sounds like a noise gate.

6 hours later, youtube.

I loved this game when it first launched on PC.

Somehow I never noticed the auto over-shoulder side switching, it's really unpredictable and irritating. Just brushing against the edge of a door frame can trigger it.

Beautiful visuals though.

@Nepp67 That's a shame, cheers for letting me know! I do enjoy some gyro aim fine tuning in these types of games.

Does anyone know if this game supports gyro aim?

@Leinad7 Yes in my brief stint, I didn't play far enough to get regressive performance but I experienced enough to make me wanna wait for a patch.

Three things off the top of my head would be micro stutters, large fps dips near Skingrad and broken screen space reflections around the Imperial City lake.

I've played the original across 360 and PC for hundreds of hours, so I was fine waiting for some patches. The Switch 2 release might mean some fixes reach other platforms, though I've given up, if they do come then that'll be a nice surprise.

Sony are leading the way in cutting out superfluous plastics.

LOU2 is the main reason I upgraded to PS5. Excellent taste!

@XenonKnight "All the the pc gamers making a big deal about this are hypocrites. Where was there protest when pc went all digital!?"

I keep seeing this point of view in the comments on this site.

Did you take part in PC gaming at the point that CD-Keys began being included in physical PC games? Or when Half-Life 2 required Steam? It didn't go down well.

The slow reveal of kind of the proper figure was a bit skewed. Then as some pointing out about Capcom's Switch cards internally considered digital sales. Makes the headline seem a bit baity.

Awesome article, cheers!

Looks like an alright month.

I keep adding monthly games, though I've only actually played one properly over the last couple years, sampled a couple others for a few minutes. Problem is I already have a backlog of games that I sought out.

@Mr-Cage It's a classic, the classics get a free pass.

@Mr-Cage "There must be more interesting gaming stories out there instead of beating this dead horse!"

"Too busy beating this dead horse my dude!"

Ironically the frequency with which you use that phrase is somewhat like flogging a dead horse.

@PegasusActual93 Steam absolutely allows plenty sub standard games onto its store, but I see next to none of it thanks to the store's algorithm.

A generic or branded controller and game streaming on a TV isn't an unlikely conclusion of PlayStation's current trajectory.

At which point if the new Fortnite or Roblox of the day comes out exclusively on another streaming subscription that very easily could be the end of whatever PlayStation is at that point.

@Leinad7 Regressive performance issues among other things.

Digital Foundry published an article/video on it recently.

https://www.digitalfoundry.net/news/2026/05/yup-oblivion-remastered-is-still-broken-a-year-after-release

@Leinad7 I think both companies are kicking themselves in the nuts over and over.

@HonestHick Look again.

"@get2sammyb @Bot_Bot_69

Only on Push Square can you read things like MS talking to its fans is taking off bad press. WHEN meanwhile Sony..."

You included me from the get go. Even if you hadn't, you were still throwing accusations around that ignored their published opinions.

Seeing as you think criticism only goes one way I shall leave you to it.

@HonestHick Your logic is really difficult to follow. Best I can work out is that you're triggered if people don't criticise everything all at once, while ignoring the fact that those other things have been criticised a lot and extremely recently.

You're definitely the proud owner of an lanky mare and a humble triplet of consoles.

@HonestHick You should probably clamber down from that awfully tall horsey.

I've seen @get2sammyb holding Sony to account frequently and I'm pretty sure specifically suggesting Sony would do well to be more candid and I personally haven't had anything positive to say about Sony recently (though I wish I could).

You entirely missed the point expressed, which was sort of like having your boss make you spread flattering rumours about their business.

It would be nice if people didn't make things up to take create some phantom moral high-ground for themselves.

@Mr-Cage Sorry I thought you were saying the opposite earlier.

@Mr-Cage Going with the spirit of the phrase "flogging a dead horse", neither Fallout or Elder Scrolls can be described as something that the main stream gaming audience is burned out on. If either series released a game tomorrow it'd sell like hot-cakes.

This feels like a Microsoft prompted message to try to shake off the latest bad press.

Don't forget the state of Oblivion Remastered. I'm still waiting to do a proper playthrough, it's been over a year already.

If they really wanted to squeeze people they would have gotten less flak for simply charging non-subscribers more.

@Flaming_Kaiser Absolutely, it was sarcasm.

They were likely on the upper end of productivity for AAA developers, that'd be my guess anyway.
