My last post here. I enjoyed some articles from Ramsey, but the rest is borderline clickbait. I can understand this is a playstation website, but i cannot excuse the dozens of articles that all just say the same.exact.thing.over.and.over. that i have to wade through to get to a decent article. We get it sammy, the Pro, and PSVR before it were the second and third comings of christ. But the amount of trash you're spewing out just to get a few clicks is severely off-putting. I found this site through N4G, and so far, every site i've found through there seems to turn up this way, so i'm steering clear of that clickbait generator as well. Thanks for some good articles Ramsey, you deserve better than the immaturity you're posting along side of.

Time to look for a new site, the line between blatant over marketing and clickbait is becoming very blurry. When PS4 first came out and was criticized for it's weak hardware, it wa viciously defended by the "gameplay over graphics" crowd, and now that there is a slight bump in hardware, it's all about the shinies now? Come on, you're better than this.

Days Gone on PS4 Pro May Be the Best Looking Game Ever (On a tailored for press demo, on a console)

There, fixed that title for you.

@TIEMs Every other major player in the MMO genre has found a way to make endgame content and raids accessible for everyone, except Destiny. When i brought this same subject up on this very site, i was told it was a horrible idea because "raids are tough" and require communication, yet i can hop into rift, ff14, warcraft, or even swtor, and access raids with auto group. It's stupid simple, all they have to do for an auto group raid is lower the difficulty, lower the loot, and voila, a learning tool with minimal rewards. Honestly, it would be the only thing that would even allow me to consider destiny 2. Forcing people to use a third party website to get a raid together is just ignorant when there are other ways to make EVERYBODY happy.

Two more pro articles to go and you'll have met the oversaturation quota for the day!

@Feena Nobody gives nintendo hell about devil's third because it looked bad from the very beginning, and continued to look bad up until launch. If there was ever a game that screamed "don't buy me" it was that one, and you'd only have yourself to blame. Meanwhile, sony and hello games super hyped and over promised on NMS, and after playing the nioh beta, i'd say they're on the same course here as well.

Where's the pro edition book for sammy that has higher res coloring lines and a stamp of approval from Jesus?

As someone who hasn't played a COD game in a few years, and having just dropped 20+ hours into BF1, i will say it is a huge and refreshing change of pace. The MP is definitely fun, challenging, and addicting. I have a feeling the next few weeks will be split between this and BF1.

@get2sammyb There is a difference between talking about a product, and regurgitating well known information over and over again. What's going to happen if it releases and sucks as an actual game because they focused too much on how it was presented for the pro? Oh wait, we already know what will happen, it will end up in the $10 bargain bin 6 months after release.

@leucocyte Well, from what they've said, everything they've shown so far has been on regular PS4, so i don't think it will have a problem running well. I just think a downloadable demo, or a lengthy gameplay video highlighting how it actually plays would be a huge step in the right direction instead of "look at the pretty picture".

I just can't wait for it to be released so we can get back to seeing some actual articles on here and no more of this recycled "PS4 PRO will melt your eyeballs" nonsense.

All this talk about graphics, but i have yet to see gameplay that inspires the same confidence. I remember The Order 1886 and the marketing leading up to it enough to know this could follow the same fate. The last KZ game was mediocre at best, and i've yet to see anything come out of guerilla games that signifies they have the ability to create a third person action RPG.

Pretty sure it will hit 50 million. There are a lot of people holding out for switch that will see a fantastic PS4 holiday deal and buy that instead.

My favorite of the original trilogy. The formula was expanded, perfected, and had much better gameplay than 1 and 2. I would say it is the least "survival-horrorish" of the 3, but it is the one i go back and play over the first two.

I don't see how PT can be on the list when you literally have no way of downloading it anymore. Maybe replace that with something similar but relevant, say the RE7 demo?

Wanted to jump into skyrim, but there's a severe audio quality issue on pc, and not enough mods yet to get me interested. Then i wanted to jump into TF2 or BF1, and origin was down all night. Settled for R6 siege.

Meh, i don't think it's necessary to hype the game up two years before it's release.

I know they added 7.1 and 3D audio, but is that enough to justify such a high price tag? Is there more than that? I got my gold headset for $50 new and i'm pretty happy with them, although the battery life is a tad on the low side.

Going orc this time around for sure. Well done on the guide, even those of us who played this 5 years ago might need a handy refresher!

I still have nightmares from the thomas the tank engine dragon mod. May god have mercy on your soul if you download it.

@wiiware Do you think that's a good alternative to say, sony putting up as many comparison videos and features as they can before launch? Because i don't. Most people aren't going to go out of their way to DF. Putting up a series of 4K comparison videos on youtube would be a much better use of marketing money. Nonsense commercials aren't going to move units, it's only going to make for a daily boring pro article.

Another day, another pro article. Maybe instead of making claims and cheesy commercials they should be showcasing exactly what all this "power" will be capable of besides an already obsolete 4k upscale and a few resolution/framerate bumps (IF the developers decide to do them)

Sounds like Murray got blasted on some high priced liquor and had a moment of clarity.

@rjejr Also keep in mind that any game you buy on disc will still rip all of the content onto the PS4's hard drive, the disc basically acts as a security check. So yeah, if you plan on getting more than 10 games on disc, 1TB or higher is highly recommended if you want them all installed at once.

Tempting, as it would be the final nail in my ps3's backlog coffin. $40 on amazon prime is pretty decent.

@rjejr Most current gen games require you to download all of the DLC even if you don't own it, as they'll roll it up into patches. I guess all i can about it is save up for a bigger hard drive, or limit your installs, because pro patches will most likely be a required download, and depending on the complexity of said patch, could range anywhere from a few MBs to a few GBs.

Replayability is definitely not as high as you claim. As someone who grinded through 100% of AA and AC at their original releases, i was STILL burnt out when AK came out. The grind is real in these games if you want 100%.

Good to know this site and it's people have a moral compass, and follow guidelines that most would push aside just for early clicks. Much respect for that.

@PorllM The pure definition of repetition is a match of overwatch, or TF2 if you like the originals they stole it from. One team fights the other, half of each team go after kills instead of objectives, and people whine about broken characters and trash talk each other. Rinse and repeat.

@Churchy Bethesda blacklisted kotaku a long time ago after their fallout 4 leak, i doubt it's from that. I visited kotaku for a month after fallout 4 released, and it was hipster nonsense, terrible jokes, and literally an article or two every day praising fallout 4. Needless to say, Bethesda wrote them off a long time ago.

I swear i just read a title about being bored writing about the uncharted movie. If you're bored from that, surely you must be ready to jump off a cliff writing redundant articles about how individual games will look better on the pro?

One more developer to add to my "demo on steam" list. I also added 2K and Hello Games this month as well.

How catchy is that title screen music amirite?

Went to a gamestop in a mall in a large city this weekend, they received 4 and sold one. So maybe they're out of stock because they didn't produce many!

Telling people to preorder games is bad. Preordering games is bad, period. Why would you pay someone to be their beta (or alpha) tester?

I recently had a friend ask me if he should get a pro. He already has an X1, doesn't plan on getting a scorpio or 4K TV anytime in the next three years. He also has a very tight enclosure for his consoles. I suggested him getting the slim, and spending the $100 he would be saving on an extra controller and psplus, or waiting until black friday for a package slim deal. The pro is very much an unnecessary half measure, coming way too early and offering something that will be outclassed in months.

@NintendoFan4Lyf Anything to push the pro agenda like it's the second coming of christ and worth the price of admission. I'm surprised we didn't get another snarky "it only took one person to make the pro patch, where's my witcher 3 patch" comment.

@Boerewors If you wait 3 or 4 months, you can spend $60 instead of $120 when the game goes on sale. It will happen, it's just up to you to have the patience. Work on the backlog a little bit and see how many of your friends are still playing it in March.

I mean, companies release games and hardware incomplete all the time and charge us for them, this seems pretty much in the same sleazeball practices ballpark.

Still complaining about witcher 3 not getting a pro patch i see. I can always tell when it's a sam article by the title, throwing out phrases like "x title looks amazing on pro" and then seeing a backhanded comment on how many people it takes to make pro patch.

Technically the first public showing of skyrim remastered was in the nintendo switch video. Figured it's fair game since you're covering it on a PS site

Grats on being beta testers for the online! That and some early access to DLC, that's about it.

Just had to get in a nintendo article for the clicks huh? In all seriousness though, it's an nvidia shield that can play nintendo games. It's going to have a terrible battery life, and won't even come close to current gen in terms of power. I'll stick to my vita with remote play and BC games.

More legendary horses would be cool. Maybe a jousting mini game too.

Grats on whoever did the bullshots, they're certainly painting a pretty picture. Won't be what it looks like in real life, though.

@Neolit What you say is unfortunate but true, and i know it. I just see games like Witcher 3, with a huge open world, getting launched across each platform at the same time, and they're still raking in the money today. I would be willing to bet that CDPR had a smaller team for that than rockstar will have for RDR2 as well. I am aware the online portion will be the most challenging aspect...but i'm not really interested in a western GTA online. Just sucks knowing we have to wait, hopefully months instead of years, because of rockstar's business practices.

@Feena 8 million copies sold on PC, two years after launch. Countless mods that introduce tangible gameplay and graphical changes, extending the replayability, for many, ten fold. Yet, with all that, no simultaneous launch, because rockstar knows their fanbase well, and knows they will double, or triple dip, by 2020, when the X2, PS5, and PC versions become available. I'm passing on the console version, because GTAV is vastly superior on PC, and i'm not buying multiple copies to support their greedy business plan. Every system has their advantages and disadvantages, one isn't superior to the other until you get to individual preference and willingness to do more than just pick up a controller. Yelling out "pc master race lolz" is just as ignorant and unnecessary as "console peasant".

@FaultyDroid Unfortunately there is a stigma attached to the "PC master race" , but there are those of us who share their gaming hobby across all platforms. Some games, like GTAV, are simply superior on PC due to mods, graphics, and gameplay options that just aren't possible on PS4. What is a terrible, however, is that GTAV sold nearly 8 million on PC, two years after it's initial launch, and they STILL won't do a simultaneous launch.

Can't wait to play it in 2020 after a few delays on console and a 2 year wait for PC again.

Tried the demo and the thing that stuck out the most were the extremely long loading times. There was a loading screen for just about everything. XV1 didn't really have that problem on PC, then again PC didn't get a demo...
