@lazarus11 I’m not sure if they could do this from a technical standpoint, but how awesome would it be if the setting changed automatically based on whether you were in and out of combat?
I don’t mind live service, but they have to play it safe and attach them to existing SP games à la ghosts of yotei, Last of Us, GTA, or Ragnarok Valhalla (not quite the same, but you get it). The studios get the money up front, players are already engaged with the gameplay and source material, and the assets cost have been mostly covered by the creation of the core game. I’d gladly pay for some micro-transactions to bypass a grind if the game is good.
I really enjoyed what I played, but after about 15 to 20 hours of dedicating myself to the needs of these clone Tamagotchi *****, they rebelled. Moving on for now, but really did enjoy what I played.
I hate to comment off topic from the article, but I didn’t realize it was releasing on PS4…. I worry about them making concessions for last gen consoles. I don’t see how it’s not holding back creative vision.
lol I was playing Balatro on my phone right before I opened push square and read this article. Incredible card game if you haven’t tried it yet. Even if it’s not really in your wheelhouse, I encourage you to give it a try.
I’m still very interested in this game, but the station wagon aspect of it has been holding me back. I would love to start the game with the station wagon, then be able to pick up other vehicles that make more sense going off road.
I love this. After playing a deep experience like Kingdom Come 2, where it’s done so well, games like this make it feel superficial imo. Ubi just isn’t that kind of studio, and these games don’t lend itself well to that style. Write good, thoughtful, and deliberate dialogue and I’m happy to put the controller down, sip my cocktail, and watch the cutscene.
In bummed it’s not a Showcase. My PS5 keeps shutting off, and I was hoping to pick up a PS five Pro at the end of this year. Doesn’t look like they’ll be announcing the pro if it’s not a showcase, but that’s just a guess. I hope it’s a good one!
@L3GTRIGA it’s what AC should have evolved to by now. The game mechanics and combat are so fluid and that it’d be criminal not to recommend playing it.

Man the map bug keeps crashing me. About 3 times in the last hour or so - PS5 Pro

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's New Cheats Revealed, Should Come to PS5
Thank Christ! Maybe I’ll head back for the plat then. That damn final boss for the boxing game was the bane of my existence

Re: PS4 Will Still Get New Games in 2027
I don’t really have an issue with this. Triple A games however…. Different story.
Re: Halo: Combat Evolved Remake Could Be the Final Frontier for Xbox on PS5
Halo would be the perfect game to spice up boys night. It’s been Fortnite, COD, and rocket league for so long now.

Re: First-Person Action RPG Fatekeeper Looks Absolutely Fantastic, But There's No Mention of PS5 Yet
I’d be surprised if a THQ Nordic game was excluded from PS5.
Re: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's Sublime Soundtrack Gets CD, Vinyl Release
As an American born in the 80’s that’s never played this game (but very interested, on my backlog), this headline read very different lol

Re: Sony Says PS5 Is the Best Place to Watch in TV Centric Ad
Okay? Pretty weird thing to advertise for. That would be like a lamp company bragging about having a switch.

Re: Sony Appears to Have Leaked Helldivers 2's Next Warbond
Gotta grab some samples for that +25% fire damage boost.

Re: PS Stars Guide: All Campaigns and Solutions (January 2024)
It sucks that you can’t just boot up a game to get points. You have to purchase them, even if you already bought it. It sucks.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1 Adds Metro System, On-Person Radio, Car Races, and Much More
So we can finally have sex with our romantic options more than once?!?
Re: Poll: Do You Think GTA 6 Will Release on PS4?
I’d be so pissed if it released on PS4.
Re: PS Stars Guide: All Campaigns and Solutions (September 2023)
So can I literally just boot up a game for five seconds to earn the star (unless stated otherwise like multiplayer, etc..)?
Re: Talking Point: How Often Do You Use PS5's New UI Features?
They could take the pressure off the devs for game help by making it community led.
