So DF dropped their video on NG4 where they give very high praise to the Pro version and call it one of the best Pro upgrades yet. Watch as PQ don't report that because it hurts the narrative they keep spinning about the Pro.
@OldGamer999 Competition is why the PS4 gen was so good, why Sony turned it around with the PS3 by the end, why Nintendo recovered with the Switch. I can tell you if exclusives didn't exist then Ghost of Yotei, Wolverine, The Last of Us, Forza, Gears, Uncharted, Zelda, Mario and such wouldn't exist or wouldn't exist as they are. Exclusivity is why Spider-Man 2 can have 60+ costumes with none being MTX, if Sony weren't trying to sell a console then the game would be full of MTX and such. MS going 3rd party isn't a win for anyone but Sony because now Sony has "won" they have more freedom to screw the customer over and we know they can because of the PS3 and the BS they pulled with that early on.
No MP is just mindblowing and no MCC on PS5 either is annoying. Yeah it looks nice and the addition of new stuff is cool but i would choose MCC over this any day.
Its pretty clear U5 and PSSR don't get along and that Devs need to put in the extra work to get it right. I expect that's why Hellblade 2 looks incredible on the Pro as NT actually put in a ton of work to get it right.
Also love the constant 180 with the Pro from people. One week its the best machine ever the next its the worst. The console is excellent the issue is devs half arsing it, Yotei on Pro RT mode uses PSSR and it looks incredible. Control's recent update added PSSR and DF gave it high praise. AC Shadows with PSSR looks jaw dropping. MH Wilds on Pro is the best version of the game and it uses PSSR. Kingdom Come 2 uses PSSR and its jaw dropping. Basically if the Devs put in the work the results are the best console version of the game.
@TheArt On PC it might look fine but the awful res, awful pop in and dodgy 30fps do it no favours on a PS5 on a 4K screen. The jump from KC1 and KC2 in visuals felt like a two generation jump 😅.
@Kidfunkadelic83 Think off Kingdom Come 2 as The Dark Knight to KC1's Batman Begins in that you don't need to watch Begins to enjoy or understand TDK but that added knowledge and context will make it better. Its worth noting KC2 takes place days after KC1 and its very much a direct sequel with the main villains of that game playing a major role in this game, there's a ton of pay off because of that. Again you won't be lost with it but it won't hit you like it does for those who played KC1.
Worth noting KC1 is worth playing if you can ignore the jank, awkward 30fps and brutal difficulty. The world, characters, writing and story are just that good that it gets easy to overlook the jank. Like the visuals are pretty bad but its so immersive and commits to the setting so well that the poor visuals don't matter.
I mean the same could be applied to Nintendo who are in fact far "worse" because Sony in recent time have giving Switch the Lego Horizon game and HD2 to Xbox plus they have quite a few PC ports now. Nintendo won't even put Breath of the Wild on PC yet alone give PS and Xbox anything. Yet again its MS fanning the flames and making out Sony is the bad guy. Sorry Sarah but the only reason you're going 3rd party is because Xbox's aren't selling and your boss spent 69B on Activision and wants everything on Gamepass forcing you to go 3rd party if you want to make money.
@Sweetz The new Supergirl from the latest Superman film has been getting backlash from the right because she was drunk and swore (like she does from the comic this Kara is based on). A female version of Trevor would go down like a lead balloon. Hell Harley Quinn gets hate from some circles because of that.
@Northern_munkey Thing is when you're constantly being attacked for just existing its easy to stop being civil and just be blunt with people. If you're fine with the LGBTQ+ community then Erika's comments aren't aimed at you. Her comments are aimed at those who deserve them, end of the day why should they play nice when those who mock them and send death threats don't?
@SuntannedDuck2 Sounds to me you just want the gaming industry to tailor to you and you alone.
As for what you want i highly recommend Baldur's Gate 3 and Clair Obscur. Two of the best ever games ever made especially BG3. Also have you ever trurly looked to see what the PS5/SX libraries actually offer? Its highly diverse more so then last gen what with the 2nd age of AA games and Indies being in their golden age right now. All tastes are covered.
@Dogbreath So SP were doomed either way then? If an employer doesn't lose their job they're bad but if they sack them they're also bad. You clearly just wanted an excuse to hate SP.
Ever worked for a corporation? Yeah its common knowledge you watch what you say publicly and online because if you work for a corp you represent them. Celebrating an assassination of public figure a day after its happened is getting you sacked.
@Kelrics90 Sony almost never shout about sales numbers, in fact most publishers don't talk about sale numbers until they have to. Notice how EA have yet to officially say what the BF6 sales numbers are? Do you think BF6 hasn't done well?
@AstroBottom "I love female characters because i love Ripley and Sarah Connor" is basically what you just said, its pretty much the "i have a black friend" argument. Come on dude if Lara and Samus came about today incels would be crying about them and calling them "girlbosses" and all the other rubbish buzzwords they use.
@Northern_munkey Sometimes you have to be blunt to audience who hate the fact you exist. Erika supports and is part of the LGBTQ+ community, if people are allies to the LGBTQ+ community then Erika is fine with them they just take issue with those against themselves and the community. So if someone takes issue with what they said well that most likely meant Erika's words were for meant for them.
@CielloArc You understand its pretty rare for publishers to publically announce sales numbers right? Also EA i don't think annouced any numbers for BF6. Did Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong bomb? I guess so by your logic because Nintendo never revealed sales numbers.
@Dogbreath SP sacked their employer not because of boycotts but because pubically celebrating a murder a day after its happened is something most corporations won't stand for.
@DadJKP So Erika sucks because they're against fascism? Damn dude talk about mask off with you. Nah dude people were "boycotting" due to playing as a girl, the moment Atsu was revealed incels were having a meltdown.
@RoomWithaMoose No one cares about the campaign it was never the selling point. Yes the maps could be bigger but they're still solid maps and fit the faster style of gameplay. Anyway EA have said bigger maps are coming in future updates
@CheapMerc Done a match earlier with crossplay off and around 70% of the players were bots. I have switched to the SMG now and i'm doing better with crossplay on as the gun is insanely OP and broken right now making all other weapons near pointless.
How about console crossplay only as well? Right now its either play with bots with crossplay off or have it on but get destroyed by PC players. Also the balance is way off as most matches will be 90% PC players and 10% console. Its a great game i'm loving it but it can be deflating as hell to be the only console player in a match and constantly be killed because M&K will always be faster and more accurate then my controller.
@Dman10 Because the PS3 version can't be played on PS5. This is a PS2 emulation for PS2 classics so they can't just bring over the 360 versions of these games.
@Grumblevolcano True but its slightly different case in that the Deus Ex remaster is the PC version and not the gimped console version so its not the same game as the PS2 classic version.
Shame its the PS2 version and not the better 360 version. Was really hoping the Legend Trilogy was going to get a remaster like the original 6 games but i guess not.
I really hope Vince stays in the roles he has and never becomes the CEO of EA or something. The guy knows what's doing and what he needs to be done and i would hate for him to become just another corp suit.
God these devs are pathetic. The fact they can't get lumen running at a real 60fps on the Pro in their very linear mediocre "soulslike" tells me they should stick with PC and not touch consoles.
