I'm surprised this is all happening. I've had the better part of a week with my PS5 and so far the only issue that I've had is Spiderman Remastered kicked me back to the home screen once. I've Platinumed Astro, Spider man Remastered, and half way to getting the platinum with Miles Morales no issues.
Mine is dead silent until the disc drive just randomly kicks in every hour or so for no reason. Like, I'm playing Astro's Playroom, take a chill pill Spider Man.
I'm glad the one thing that's consistent between all first impressions is the controller is comfortable and its features are genuinely innovative and not gimmicky.
4k is nice, but it takes a lot of effort and is a very power hungry resolution for games even on PC, especially on a console. 1440p 60+fps would be a nice sweet spot for console games.
I'm fine with the overwhelming amount of empty space, and banners that are way too big for no reason. What I'm not fine with are zero sorting or filtering options. The last store wasn't awesome but at least I could sort by newer titles, or what's cheap, or filter for games specifically so that I don't see a sea of in-game currencies and DLC.
Considering Bugsnax hasn't been added to the Playstation store for preorders I'm going to say it'll be our first PS5 PS+ game. They already have a tab for PS5 PS+ games so they're prepared ahead of launch for them.
All they have to do is add one time parties and all is fixed. From where I stand the changes are awesome and don't bother me, I've been wanting parties to take on a discord channel vibe for a while now.
Honestly, seems like a reasonable trade off for a more robust Discord like party system. The only thing I ask, and I'm sure it's already part of the system, just allow me options to mute groups.
With how easily the panels come off I'm super excited to see where the 3D printing community goes with custom panels. Finally going to have a reason to tune my printer.
Still running with my launch PS4 and it's barely noticeable, basic maintenance goes a long way. As someone who ran a repair shop you'd be surprised what a few puffs of air every month or so will do.
$70 really? Huh, that's arrogant, this is a $20 title max.
Also, there's no doubt this game will have microtransactions, just look at the characters and their setting. It was built from the ground up to be a platform for them.
Considering the director isn't a total space case like Nomura I can see this coming out next year. Love Nomura, but the dude has no focus which is probably more of a Square thing than himself.
Huh, I was honestly hoping to pick up where I left off at the end and play the DLC on PS5. No big deal, but I'm not sure I'll platinum it again. We'll see.
I believe the cost of games being so high to produce is the bloat from executives or higher ups in general having such high salaries instead of production costs themselves. If a company that makes some of the largest, most detailed, most immersive worlds in the industry can make their games for a $59.99 flat price tag with no microtransactions at CD Projekt Red than any developer can.
@mvhess I'll agree with you that graphics don't make the game, but a poor art style will always sell less. Also, you're confusing effort with skill, just because 1+1+1+1+1=5 doesn't mean that 5 took much skill to achieve. My point is, I'm sure they've done a lot of work to make this game as a whole, but their efforts show how little skill they have at making games in general.
@mvhess Mocap is incredibly easy to the point that indie devs and mobile games use it constantly. 170 people and 2-1/2 years of development and it looks like a cheap mobile game. Just because you're willing to deep dive into their development and find a tiny glimmer of something special doesn't mean over 100 million others are. To the average consumer, which is the majority of people who buys games no matter the genre, looks matter and this game looks like garbage.
@mvhess You do realize those are bare minimum basic skills for any game developer, right? Indie games use mocap and record dialogue, it's nothing special in the slightest. It's 100% laziness.
It's just a lazy, or incompetent remake. They seem to be the sort of developer that has very basic art or modelling with little substance so they turn up all the particles and lighting hoping it'll fill in for how lifeless and bare bones the game is.
The super low res textures on everything doesn't help either, you can count the pixels in the floor tiles.
Click bait nonsense. "Could" suggests you have reason to speculate, which you don't and you said so, something a little less click bait is "should". There are also zero "rumors we've read" of a delay with Sony even sending out pre order emails to dash that.
100% fake, no way Japan will get the console first.
Also, the "vertical stand" doesn't exist. The one included with the PS5 is made to have both vertical and horizontal uses.
With next gen around the corner I'd like to see some games that'll be upgraded for it. Nothing special comes to mind, I'd be happy with a Resogun remaster even if it were that small.
I almost completed the RE2 Remake, but something about RE3 Remake just felt off. Maybe it was the cut content or the doubling down of action scenes compared to the original, it wasn't as well cared for or crafted as RE2R.
@Shigurui I do play all those games and enjoy them very much, Yakuza especially. I'd rather look at a loading screens that specifically tell me when I can play than to be forced to watch Jin feed his horse for 20 seconds wondering when my PS4 will catch up to let me start playing again. =] Also, RNG systems are directly disrespectful to player time for longevity and not simply failing to respect a players time with fluff. There's a big difference in the two.
All I want is the ability to skip pre/after scene fluff. I've wasted hours of my life waiting to walk again, or stand up, or quit drinking, or for a duel to start, or for text to leave. I love this game enough to work towards platinuming it, but it does not respect the players time at all.

Re: Rockstar Acquires Ruffian Games, Rebrands Rockstar Dundee
Seems like a waste of money for such a talentless studio, I guess they get cheap grunt labor out of them so...
Re: You Can Use Remote Play to Stream PS4 Games to Your PS5
@tameshiyaku PlayAsia sells some decently comfortable L2R2 trigger grips that made playing games a lot easier, L3R3 takes a little getting used.

Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Looks Way More Polished in New Story Trailer
Looks good except for the people, they all look like lifeless animated dolls. They're stiff and have empty eyes.

Re: Disintegration's Multiplayer Is Being Shut Down Just Three Months After Launch
That sucks, but it's no surprise. The game was soulless, from the very first trailer it was made fun of and ignored.
Re: Prince of Persia Remake Doesn't Look Any Better in Screenshots
@mvhess Some people just see garbage for what it is.
Re: Prince of Persia Remake Doesn't Look Any Better in Screenshots
@mvhess That's why I also said or they were incompetent in my first post. They're still a Ubisoft studio so they are inherently lazy.
