Re: Rumour: Is Watch Dogs Legion the Anticipated Third Instalment?

BrettAwesome

I just wish it took place somewhere else, with nice weather and such. Chicago I could live with because you could venture outside the city limits. But (and this is absolutely only a matter of personal taste) I have a hard time getting excited about the prospect of the British countryside on a typical grey, cloudy day. Well, it might just be that I'm much too pessimistic. It might all work out in the end.

Re: Cuphead Still Isn't Releasing on PS4, But It Will Come to Tesla Cars

@m42orca
Well, I own a Switch, and I love it. And seeing as it's the soon to be second best selling console, I wouldn't call it irrelevant either, right? And Cuphead runs just fiiiiiine on that one. You might not beg for a port, but it sure seems like you're begging for others to join your hate campaign. Looks like it ain't happening, though 🤭

Re: Sony Reconfirms PS5 Features with Official Graphic

@thedevilsjester
Yes you did!
"It could be a make-or-break for people, but it might also be positioned in a way that makes sense, for example if all PS5 games were ALSO compatible with the PS4 so that the PS5 was just another (bigger) refresh like the Pro, then the price is less of an issue because people will eventually upgrade"
No they won't ! Not if they don't have to. Besides, you're killing a whole gen by gimping it, if all the games have to run on PS4 too. There will be plenty of games the PS4 simply can't run, because of the weak cpu.
Maybe you're just not quite as good at this market analyst stuff as you would like. I mean, it does come across as slightly self important, the way you choose to "teach to the masses". It just rubs me the wrong way, but maybe it's just me. I just think your arguments have to be rock solid if you do.

Re: Soapbox: Days Gone Is the Biggest 180 I've Ever Done on a Video Game

I...Well, I just loved it from the get go. I found the shooting quite realistic. Hit and a whole lot of miss. Hitting a moving target in real life is very difficult. I loved the atmosphere, the visuals, and something I haven't given much thought in other games, the sound design. Perfect low end dynamics, excellent surround. I get some of the criticism, but there's just something about this game that works for me on so many levels. The perfect blend of Mad Max, Red Dead 2 and The Last of Us. It may sound slightly nuts, but this is one of my absolute favourite games now.

Re: Plucky Publisher Devolver Digital Schedules In Its E3 2019 Press Conference

BrettAwesome

Devolver claimed to be the good guys. The guys who want stand up business practices and a generally transparent and honest approach to the industry and their fans. Next up one of devs behind Shadow Warrior 2 praises ps4pro for all its power. Finally it releases with absolutely no ps4pro support, because of time constraints. Meaning Devolver pushed it out the door before it was done. To add insult to injury, some programmer or whatever checked the "ps4pro enhanced" box, so the game can't even make use of boost mode.
I've never truly forgiven them for that betrayal.

I paid good money for that game.

Re: Round Up: Everything We Know About PS5 So Far

BrettAwesome

Now we just need the cpu, gpu and memory specs. The good stuff. If the leaks are correct, we are looking at an 8 core/16 thread zen2 cpu with a base clock of 1,6ghz and a boost clock of 3,2ghz. And a lightning fast custom Navi10 lite gpu. This machine is going to be amazing!

Re: RAGE 2 Looks Fun But Pretty Darn Predictable in 10 Minutes of New Gameplay

BrettAwesome

I've been very excited about this for quite a while. I really thought it looked amazing. Now, with the latest gameplay footage, I've noticed some stuff I'm not too happy about. I thought it looked a bit like mad max, which is a gorgeous game. But this new footage is a bit less convincing. I noticed bland textures, very harsh pop in and such. If this game ends up looking anything like Just Cause 4 instead of Mad Max, I'm out. Guess I'll just have to wait for Digital Foundry to enlighten me. I can deal with 1080p on pro, if they have have a great looking game on their hands, with some real impressive post processing. But if it's another 720p looking show like jc4...well... count me out

Re: Guide: All PS4 HDR Compatible Games

BrettAwesome

@get2sammyb
Assassins Creed Origins has had HDR since release. Clearly visible when capturing gameplay. Ubisoft are masters of tone mapping, so it can be hard to tell. But the oversatureated reds in gameplay capture is a clear indication in most cases. This is clearly visible in most games with solid HDR implementation. Origins and Horizon are good examples of this. Also the PS4 will state that colours might look wrong whenever you save a gameplay video
