Pretty good show, nice reveals too. Geoff Keighley deserves all the praise for making it what it is. Naughty Dog deserved everything they got awarded to them for tLoU. Insanely good game.
I didn't even know you could cheat on console. I've seen it on PC where you can install stupid aimbots etc, didn't think it possible for console players.
@clvr bit of an odd comment, I have loads of games. Odd proposition that someone would stick to playing one or two games for years but hey. I'm not depending anyone, I just can't get my head around a crybaby attitude over something that a company is doing very well. It's an odd concept this, but you don't actually have to play it or spend your time seething. Move on.
I think a word or two is due about the sound of this game. Whether it's the procedural soundtrack that dips in and out on a Breath of the Wild-type basis, which is a key ingredient of many incidents and events in the game, the distant cry of some alien race that either puts wonder or dread in the players head or the sound of another ship (and possibly another human player) whooshing past/above you (particularly great with headphones on), both the sound design and soundtrack is top notch and quite important to the overall experience.
Love this, great interview! Although it's extremely cheeky of push square to ask him for an interview when there was literally not even one sentence mentioning either his music or even the game's sound design in the site's review (of a Star Wars game. Really?). Love to see more content like this, though!
@naruball yeah that was my first thought as well. Hopefully devs will surprise us with clever use of this going forward! Like a trophy for singing into the mic or something.
It's all marketing, and MS have the better gimmicky name. "Game Pass" sounds so much less boring than "Playstation Now/Plus" If the product is good enough you won't even need to have the word Playstation in there.
Noice! All we want is Arkham Knight with a steady framerate and without all the screen-tearing when in the Batmobile (base PS$, no idea is it was better on the Pro)
He said earlier this year he's watching horror film after horror film because he wants to make a great horror game. If PT is anything to go by it will be an awful experience (and by awful I mean great).
Never understood the complaints about that to be honest, it helped break the game up in a fresh way for me. A lot of it that I have seen basically boils down to "whY am i plAyiNg as A WOMAN it's an ageNDa it's supposed to be spiderMAN" etc etc.
Looking forward to this one. Thank you for bothering to mention the soundtrack as well! Modern reviews are still somewhat bewilderingly absent on the topic on the whole despite the OST and sound design playing such a pivotal role in the overall experience.
1. Dualsense mic - talk to text, talk to friends etc.
2. New better, faster PS Store
3. Designed with 4k tvs in mind. Forward thinking - 4k adoption rate will be miles higher by the time most people have a PS5.
4. Trophy progression updates.
5. Main menu (finally) natively supports HDR straight out of the box
6. SPEED
I mean, a 6 out of ten still means it's a very good game. It's just... such a pointless venture when it's not even as fulfilling, diverse or fun as Battlefront 2's Starfighter Assault. Such an odd decision to go ahead with making it at all.

Re: Watch Dogs Legion Delays Online Mode to Early 2021
Invasion mode was already slated for 2021 anyway, hopefully by then it'll be in another sale.
Re: PS Plus December 2020 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
You'll need a PS5 to play a Just Cause game just because of their notorious frame rate drops.

Re: Rainbow Six: Siege PS5 Upgrade Coming Next Week, Enhancements Detailed
Whats the deal with the VRR update and 120fps then? I think I read too many articles at once over the last few days, head's fried
Re: A PS5 Firmware Update Will Add VRR Support in the Future
In the meantime changing the output to -1 or -2 can be a decent short term fix for some, although you sacrifice true hdr for it
Re: Sony Unsure if PS Plus Collection Will Expand with More Games
@InsertUsername I'm sorry you're having a bad day. The product isn't as successful as Game Pass.

@Ssimsim mad how cd keys offer less money off than shop to but barely anyone uses shop to.
Re: Here's Why Rocket League Can't Run at 120FPS on PS5
@Rob_230 it's bigger now than it's ever been. A shame it took so long for Sony & Microsoft to come together on cross play to be honest.

Re: PS5 Doesn't Have a Web Browser
Probably for the best. PS4's browser made Windows '98 seem pretty up there
Re: PSVR Action Game Blood and Truth Enhanced for PS5 Backwards Compatibility
Yes! Held off this til now so I'm looking forward to it even more now. Fingers crossed No Man's Sky and others will get similar upgrades!

Re: PS Plus November 2020 PS4 Games Announced, PS5 Game Bugsnax Included
@zupertramp they should have said so in the article, but you'll have until April 2021 to redeem it on the PS5.
Re: No Man's Sky Getting Huge Update for PS5, Free Upgrade for PS4 Players
From one of the worst PR disasters in recent times to one of the best gaming experiences money can buy. A wholesome redemption story
Re: Site News: We Have a PS5
Does more heat come out the top vents or the rear vents? I imagine a lot of people will be just about fitting it into different type of space.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Delayed into December

Re: Sony Confirms PS5 Media Apps, Explains Dedicated Entertainment Space
Looks like you'll be able to switch on the PS5 and turn it off with the remote, too with that PS button at the bottom.

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Won't Have Any Playable Side Characters
@Zuljaras Seen more complaints from that type than about it being boring, but I wouldn't presume to know the entirety of the internet.
@Robinsad I agree, it's nothing to do with it. Stealth sections were decent, but that's subjective.

Re: PS4 Friends List Displays the Console You're Playing On
@TooBarFoo that's exactly what it is, it's to drive sales. It's seedy but I can only admire that level of successful cutthroatery.
Re: PS4 Friends List Displays the Console You're Playing On
It's odd that this was a feature on the app for years rather than on the actual console. Baby steps!

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered Has Been in Development for a Year on PS5
Well worth a measly £15-£20 for a 60fps spider man full game. Anyone who says otherwise is high.
