I get that this is a great game by a single person but placing it higher than games which took years and years to make which look and sound stunning with full voice casts and soundtracks etc is pretty crazy
I'm not by any means going to play it as I'm not interested in trains really in the slightest. However, as a kid who grew up watching Thomas the Tank Engine, this is a really cool update and it's good to see Thomas & Friends still getting love these days.
@lazarus11 dubbed movies, especially live action and not cartoon/animated, are tons more of an eyesore though when it comes to mouth movements etc during speech.
And game dubs are nowhere near as jarring as a normal shows or movies are for example, with the whole mouth actions throwing you off. Would rather spend more time looking at the game than at subtitles.
Good for Ben Starr! Seems a really likable person too which is always nice when they're doing well. Only thing that remains to be seen with Ben is his versatility. Troy can do a whole bunch of different roles really well. Hopefully Ben can without everyone just hearing Clive in his performances.
Some people want to just switch on and play, have their hardware auto-updated and not have to worry about much. For that reasons consoles won't go anywhere. Children too, you couldn't just buy a young kid a PC and expect him to know what to do with it to get gaming. It doesn't work like that.
When I was a kid I pumped so so many hours into the first few Gran Turismo's so I naturally bought GT7 on release day. I probably played it for around 12 hours and I just quit cold turkey. Not sure if it's because I have less free time these days or what but I found it super repetitive and couldn't get into it all
@Max_the_German this doesn't make much sense because of any major announcements happened they wouldn't be coming out before Christmas, when does that ever happen? They'd be for 2025-26
I'm starting to get the opinion that Hermen Hulst is a massive Xbox fanboy and is doing everything in his power to kill Playstation. Get him gone already, he's clueless as to what the fanbase actually want.
Geoff does come across as a bit of a bore to me in the sense that he takes everything way too seriously. When he laughs at stuff at his shows it seems forced, and during the sesame street sketches he does he is literally miming all of the words everybody is saying which takes the spontaneity out of it. When funny unscripted stuff happens which isn't pre-planned you can see the annoyance and anger in his eyes. He needs to chill.
Honestly, Rebirth post-patch looked fine in performance mode. Yeah, maybe I have an untrained eye. If so, thank God. If it means I can enjoy games without having to spend 700 quid on slightly better graphics then I'm happy.
And before people pitch in with the "It's much better graphics, not slightly!", I've been here since the Sega Megadrive and seen graphics progress. Trust me, the difference is slight.
I can see them keeping Pedro going for as long as possible as he is literally the shows selling point. My prediction is that viewing figures drop significantly amongst the crowd who have no interest in video games at that point

@Thatguyoverthere I mean, it's been sandwiches between them for a while now so why would they wait til now?
Re: Game of the Year: #2 - Metaphor: ReFantazio
One thing that really bugged me with this game was that repetitive as hell scene before going in to a new day
Re: Game of the Year: #2 - Metaphor: ReFantazio
@HappyGamerGirl P3 is really good and they did a really good job of making the remake look good too. I prefer P3 over Metaphor 100%.
Re: Game of the Year: #5 - Balatro
@Jrs1 you'd never see Snake on nokia phones winning game of the year if the game awards were around back then.
Re: Game of the Year: #5 - Balatro
@Jey887 call of duty the only game with voice cast and a storyline?

Re: Even in a Wacky Nautical Spin-Off, Yakuza Just Feels Wrong in English
I unapologetically play them in English.
Why? Because I'm English.

Re: Horizon Zero Dawn PS5 Is an Absolutely Insane Upgrade
Super excited to jump into this again. I actually preferred the original (story wise) over the sequel so I'm happy!

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows' Japan Looks Stunning in New Open World Showcase
So is this one more RPG-ey like the Valhalla and Odyssey or closer to the last game that game out and the earlier titles?

@VaultGuy415 by the time GTA6 comes out you'll be able to get one for cheaper
Re: Sony Increases PS5 Controller Prices in US, Europe, and More
@Anthony_Daniels wild that you don't think that is the real reason
Re: Sony Increases PS5 Controller Prices in US, Europe, and More
Charging everyone an extra £5 for a controller to fork back money lost on Concord is absolutely WILD
Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Design Seemingly Leaked
@Zeke68 not sure how it can be confirmed before the console is even officially announced. I think you dreamt it up 🤣

@Sequel not only is it being restored, but it's also being put on to vinyl if that's your cup of tea!
Re: PS5 Gets a Staggering, Officially Licensed 8TB SSD
I wasn't going to pay that much for it until I learned I get a one month PSN trial. Now I'll happily fork out 800 quid
