It'll be strange if Microsoft does opt out of making future consoles cause they've been around doing it for such a long time, but with some of their decisions over the last few years, I'm not entirely surprised if they drop it entirely.
Just finished the game last night and I'd give it a pretty solid 7. I'd give it an 8 if the combat wasn't such a jankfest, cause the atmosphere, environments, art direction and story are all really well done.
I've been seeing some discussions regarding the original article over the last few days. While some people may think like this, I still really enjoy Sony's games and the stories they tell.
Really curious to see how they remake SH1. The PS1's graphics and overall aesthetic really help in the scare factor, which is why so many indie devs use that era of graphics for a lot of their games.
But I trust Bloober after the great work they did with the SH2 Remake.
I haven't played the story mode yet but I did play a little bit of the roguelite mode on PC and the gameplay is fantastic, which is usual from Naughty Dog.
I really need to get around to playing through the story.
I mean, it is visually impressive, and the Decima engine is fantastic in regards to visual fidelity and performance, but so many games are having performance issues nowadays so I hope that's more of a priority for developers when the PS6 does release.
I do find it really weird when games have worse performance on the Pro compared to the base console.
I know the tech is different from the Pro iterations of the PS4 to PS5, but to me it's inexcusable for games to perform worse on a console with better tech.
I've played the demo on Steam a while ago and I really like how the game has a proper tutorial area now, and it definitely has a bit more of a refined touch that the original was lacking.
I'm okay with a Kiwami 3. I do really like 3's combat though and I know it'll be reworked into the more modern Dragon Engine combat, which is fine, but that PS3 era combat will always hold a special place in my heart.

Re: Assassin's Creed Mirage's Free, Saudi-Funded Expansion Launches in November
Such a weird expansion idea, where they want to use it to create a more positive outlook on them. I feel that might hinder how fun it is.

Re: PS6 May Go Uncontested as Rumours of Next-Gen Xbox Cancellation Spiral
It'll be strange if Microsoft does opt out of making future consoles cause they've been around doing it for such a long time, but with some of their decisions over the last few years, I'm not entirely surprised if they drop it entirely.
Re: 'Told You So': Ex-FTC Chair Lina Khan Is Having the Last Laugh Over Xbox's Activision Acquisition
Microsoft buying Activision then a year or two later essentially dropping first party exclusivity for their consoles was not on my bingo card.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Silent Hill F?
Just finished the game last night and I'd give it a pretty solid 7. I'd give it an 8 if the combat wasn't such a jankfest, cause the atmosphere, environments, art direction and story are all really well done.
Re: Talking Point: Are You Getting Sick of Sony's Supposedly 'Samey' Approach to Story Telling?
I've been seeing some discussions regarding the original article over the last few days. While some people may think like this, I still really enjoy Sony's games and the stories they tell.

Re: Don't Be Like This GTA 6 'Fan' Who Flew to Scotland Just to Harass Rockstar Staff
Dude is an idiot. Just leave the devs alone, they just want to go home by their pets and family, not have a boneheaded moron harassing them.
Re: PlayStation Puts Its Entire Slate of PC Ports in a Steam Sale
Gotta love the Steam sales
Re: Silent Hill 1 Remake Now a Big Focus at Bloober Team, Could Make Cronos 2
Really curious to see how they remake SH1. The PS1's graphics and overall aesthetic really help in the scare factor, which is why so many indie devs use that era of graphics for a lot of their games.
But I trust Bloober after the great work they did with the SH2 Remake.
Re: Ghost of Yotei Gets a Near Perfect Score in Japan's Most Famous Gaming Magazine

Re: Square Enix Ain't Going to Revisit Parasite Eve on PS5, But This Chinese Dev Sure as Hell Is
Oh wow, I completely forgot about 3rd Birthday. I do remember that game having cross over content with FF13 Lightning Returns.
But I'm definitely interested in this, if Square won't give us a new game, someone has to do it themselves.
Re: The Last of Us 2 Is Now Available on PS Plus Extra on PS5, PS4
I haven't played the story mode yet but I did play a little bit of the roguelite mode on PC and the gameplay is fantastic, which is usual from Naughty Dog.
I really need to get around to playing through the story.

Re: Is This the First Tease of Next-Gen PS6 Graphics?
I mean, it is visually impressive, and the Decima engine is fantastic in regards to visual fidelity and performance, but so many games are having performance issues nowadays so I hope that's more of a priority for developers when the PS6 does release.

Around the (Fortnite) world, around the (Fortnite) world
Around the (Fortnite) world.
The helmets are pretty cool though, ya gotta admit.
Re: Silent Hill F Is Another Game That Stumbles on PS5 Pro
I do find it really weird when games have worse performance on the Pro compared to the base console.
I know the tech is different from the Pro iterations of the PS4 to PS5, but to me it's inexcusable for games to perform worse on a console with better tech.
Re: Rumour: Yakuza 0: Director's Cut Coming to PS5 This Year After Stint of Switch 2 Exclusivity

Re: Even More Xbox Price Increases Make PS5 Look Like a Good Deal
Sadly it's the effects of what's happening in the world. Sucks.
Re: Yooka-Replaylee PS5 Demo Available Now, and Your Progress Carries Over to the Full Game

Re: Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Adds DLC Clans to Base Game Following Backlash
They'll recoup the cost by increasing the price of the other DLCs.
Feels like something some devs would do.

The game was great before Epic bought it and ran it into the ground.

Really excited for the game and it's perfect for Spooky month.
Re: Yakuza Kiwami 3 Seemingly Leaked on Dev Website
I'm okay with a Kiwami 3. I do really like 3's combat though and I know it'll be reworked into the more modern Dragon Engine combat, which is fine, but that PS3 era combat will always hold a special place in my heart.
