@bazchillin that’s great for you pal, I have a series x, switch, Wii u and my laptop along with the PS5 Pro, look through my comment history and you’ll see plenty occasions of me criticising Sony, I just won’t make hilarious accusations for the game ripping off Mario where you could make a case for EVERY platformer doing that seeing how popular Mario is.

The fact you use language like “pony” tells me everything about how you think and act when it comes to discussions.

Image Quality overall is greatly improved over the old performance mode but all bodies of water now have a truly awful shimmering akin to how Silent Hill 2 looked before it’s recent patch.

Not a good enough improvement and is becoming a theme with Massive and their pro patches so far.

I loved my PSVR2 but I sold it in the end as just wasn’t using it enough to justify it clogging up dust around the place, it’s a marvellous piece of kit and games like Alien and Behemoth will be stunners.

I will admit though it’s a disgrace how Sony didn’t back it at all after launch in terms of first party support, I can only imagine how many units you’d have sold if you offered a The Last of Us VR title or even beating Meta to the punch with Batman Arkham Shadow.

@bazchillin Nintendo shills are hilarious, keep up the good work chap, making me giggle.

Everytime I go to start this game another amazing update comes that makes me wanna hold off longer 😭 darn you Larian with your amazing updates.

@Max_the_German this reads like a parody post, how can one ever moan about having more options to fine tune games, especially with how consoles and PCs are getting ever closer in their pricing and architecture, so it makes sense to give those players the same sort of settings PC users are allowed.

There’s still gonna be bog standard quality and performance for those who can’t be bothered to fiddle around, but I one day hope we get a whole ass menu with each individual setting available!

Don’t wanna be a doomer but Jesus man what a loss, Shu is an icon and deserves his flowers, wish him the best of luck going forward, maybe it’ll be time to wish PS some luck too as they’re gonna need it without someone like Shu.

Need Hermen to give a cheeky update next year to say they’ve found some more paperwork behind the printers saying they actually sold 165m

I’m still really happy with it! Almost every game runs and looks way better than the base PS5, and the select 3/4 games that look sub par will be solved in due time.

I can’t say it’s a must buy as no enthusiast product is, but if you only play on consoles and have a good OLED display, it’s going to be essential as we go into the latter half of this gen if you want the best possible experience.

@JustinTimberlake never seen a baby abuse women or beat up an old man at a pub for not drinking his own brand of cheap whiskey tbf

@Orpheus79V @BiosNova

Don’t know if you’ve tried this already but if you buy a usb c to a connector and plug it into the front usb c port on the PS5 then plug the PS Link into there, I’ve had not one disconnect with the Elite since back in April when I first did this little trick!

@NomNom I envy you, far too much horrible stuff going on in the world I wish I could not be aware of.

I’d rather be locked in a room with Hermen Hulst to talk about the joys of Concord.

This sucks and my heart goes out for all who lost their jobs, hoping them all to get back on their feet asap.

We still have exodus to look forward to when it comes to ex bioware devs so I won’t lament this loss on the creative side just yet, but would’ve been nice to see the concept arts turn into something.

The story, world and characters in Concord weren’t too bad, it was just everything else that sucked.

Sony could make something out of this IP yet if they took it into animation instead of games.

Gonna be a challenge to limit my word count… I am a MASTER waffler.

@Jrs1 it’s not a handheld with its own unique library, it’s made for existing PS5/PS4 titles, so support isn’t the worry here, especially seeing as the Portal has been well supported since launch.

McGregor for all his entertainment, has repeatedly proven himself to be a heinous individual, so this news wasn’t a shock to me, just glad the victim got some form of compensation.

In terms of the DLC, if they’re removing it entirely I hope those who paid get a full refund.

Update: he was on about Sony releasing the Dualsense Edge in black 😭 bloody insiders

My ambitious guess is a Venom trailer at TGA.

About 4 hours in so far, the game is pretty good! The dialogue can get a bit Young Adult level of cringe at times but the amount of choices are more than I expected, the visuals are great, and I’m digging the combat/level design.

Not a masterpiece but not the trash pile a lot of people were desperately hoping it would be.

@RedRiot193 I’ve played Veilguard and encountered no issues, looks and runs great, DD2 is the best console port in terms of its performance, with RT on there’s some shimmering but it’s not distracting outside of the towns, SW Outlaws looks better than the base performance mode and balanced mode, just needs to sort out some of the traversal frame dips and some minor shimmering.

Dying Light 2 is another third party that looks and runs great on Pro, same with Black Ops 6, Callisto Protocol, Hogwarts Legacy and F1 24.

@RedRiot193 Don’t think we can say “mostly” a bust when only 2 games on pro have big issues; being AW2 and SH2.

Today I learnt what a Petabyte was.

@Rich33 Stellar Blade and Demon Souls look and run better using PSSR.

GOWR looks the same but runs 10 frames better at 120fps mode with TAA rendering instead of PSSR.

@Major_Player if PSSR was the main issue we'd see all games suffering, but I've had multiple great games with PSSR looking cleaner than FSR/TAA. Consistency in dev implementation is the issue.

@breakneck Metaphor is one of the best games released this year, System Shock is a stunning remake and if you like Bioshock or
Prey (Arkane) you'll love this especially at the price it’s at!

Unicorn Overlord I’ve not played but seen people loving it so if you’re into those fire emblem kinda style RPGs it could be worth a buy!

@OldGamer999 £430 for a digital series x is laughable man, Xbox really should’ve done some crazy bundles with gamepass, advertise them as cod bundles, that would sell well!

@Michael2008ish I agree with @Enuo, everyone should buy the 2024 GOTY.

GTA DE Trilogy is now £21.99 for PS5! Bargain seeing as the PS4 disc version was stuck with no upgrade path.

This is great stuff, but it begs the question, why on earth was it allowed to release in the way it was, not only did it do the gamers who bought it a disservice but also the developers, as clearly they weren’t ready to ship it given how many key features are making their way into the game only now.

Ubisoft keeps trying to over monetise and chase trends without realising that’s not what’s gonna keep people around buying your games, what keeps people around is releasing FINISHED and POLISHED titles.

I’m looking forward to starting my Outlaws playthrough soon but can’t help but feel it should’ve been coming out around now, especially with how Shadows was delayed anyway.

@OldGamer999 the only thing I can think of mate was the day one patch didn’t come out till after most reviews went live, prior the patch SkillUp was getting drops to 30fps on a 4090 with 64GB of ram, so the only thing I can imagine is the game came in HOT hot during the review period, I’ll keep an ear out for more user reports, as I was so hyped for this game.

Watching the Skill Up review and listening to the Kinda Funny Gamescast, not only does the game look broken as hell, it also seems like a truly awful story with a lack of direction with underbaked systems and lazy quest design.

The atmosphere seems exquisite and the visuals (when working) are magnificent but I’m probably not even going to give this a chance on Gamepass right now, this is going to be one of those games where you don’t actually start it till 4-6 months after release.

@NapoleonDynamite Sounds like someone is scared about being forced to babysit 10 copies of Concord 😉

@Burnish1619 Sony don’t want FromSoftware they want Kadokawa, FS is just a nice bonus.

@NapoleonDynamite I bet you ten copies of Concord that a Bloodborne remaster is out by the launch of the PS6 (latest as a launch title for it similar to Demon Souls)

@ChimpMasta It’s in their patreon weekly video, should be out on YT tomorrow!

It seems like the only thing added was PSSR but was an older sloppier version and it’s head butting with FSR causing artifacting, I think the resolution of performance mode was still a base 930p so really poor implementation.

@ChimpMasta Digital Foundry confirmed that in this case Silent Hill 2 is pro enhanced, it’s just an awful patch, so on this occasion Sony weren’t legally wrong.

@PuppetMaster Hermen was the one behind the Physint deal with Kojima so I wouldn’t write off his influences for this, but this is more about the Manga side of Kadokawa so is more the money side of the CEO partnership.

@Voltan

Finally a good purchase, enough of Bungie, let’s get Bloodborne 2!

@NEStalgia I’m not a fan of MTX but surely you’re not comparing Robux to being groomed and sexually abused….

I never underestimate it, I just want MORE of it Sammy.

In my opinion, if you can’t play a DLC without owning the original base game, then it should never be in the conversation for “game” of the year.

@Oregondan what constitutes as a "woke" game? BG3 was considered as woke by some, but it was a roaring success. Where as games like SW Outlaws or DA Veilguard didn't fail because they were woke but due to deeper rooted issues within their very gameplay design.

Smaller budget games have to be actually good to play though, Slitterhead was a cool idea that was butchered and half assed in its approach, and its official Twitter acting like a spoilt child isn’t helping its case.

@AFCC I respect your opinion entirely but you can’t trash FF7 Rebirth for it’s storytelling and acting then say how Wukong deserved it’s nomination when it’s far FAR worse in those aspects.

Elden Ring DLC over Silent Hill 2 all because Geoff hates Konami, if you don’t laugh you cry I suppose, happy to see Balatro get recognised, I still think it should be FF7 Rebirth walking the award but apart from Wukong or Erdtree I’m happy with any of the others winning.

This is disappointing and frankly needs to be sorted as it’s downright broken on the pro with the shimmering issues, seemingly coming from an older version of PSSR and FSR head butting and causing artifacting and shimmering galore.

However I’m not gonna moan too much as it should be sorted soon, just means I can play other games first that aren’t issues on the pro! 💙

@Kidfunkadelic83 yeah the combat seems really good and the music I’ve heard? bloody phenomenal, I’ll try the demo later tonight and then I guess we’ll see whether the backlog gets any larger 🤣
