At the top of the page it says “System: PlayStation 4.” One would assume you tested the game on the base PS4. Later in the review “GreedFall runs very, very well on PS4 Pro.” This creates confusion, did you then review the game on both consoles? In future can you please indicate on which console you reviewed the game on?
“lack of commentary.” Even though the footage only shows actual play, commentators never comment during play. My favorite tennis game was Sega’s Power Smash 2.
I remember this character. He was apparently modelled after Bruce Lee's likeness. Wasn't there a movie or series back in the 80's of the same name? The trailer doesn't reveal actual gameplay, so is this a 2D fighter like Street Fighter or a third person beat 'em up?
Yeah the animations doesn't look as accurate and refined as the first one, the fighting scenes. I hope this is an early build and the final release is either equivalent or better than the original. Middle Earth Shadow Of Mordor's animations still has the best mo-cap I've ever seen in any game, the sword handling and combat especially.
@get2sammyb Same here. I've never played it but have seen gameplay videos. I do remember it getting mediocre reviews. I think this time I'll put it on my to get list.
It sounds slightly better but the engine noise is still too unrealistically muffled. Because this is a track car, here is a comparison with one of the best sounding PC simulation games GTR2, https://youtu.be/vYAice6xzhA?t=32s Even Need For Speed Underground 2 has awesome realistic loud car sounds and changes with different stages of tune. You can hear the echo of the engine when driving under a bridge or in between buildings as opposed to the highway. I'm sorry to say but as super realistic looking as GT Sport looks, the engine sounds unfortunately don't match.
Hahahaha glad I'm not the only one complaining. People on the PlayStation blog also complained and I also don't understand how it could've gotten through beta? Surely there must've to been testers mentioning it. And what's worse is you can't clear them, you have to go into the sub menu again and clear them one by one lol.
Graphics and art look like a very high end 16 bit Genesis game. Some of the animations look surprisingly smooth. Will certainly put this on my radar, the protagonist looks cool and almost looks like the bass guitarist, Marko Hietala, from Night Wish. Looking forward to Death's Gambit too.
"but the proof will be in the pudding." It's the proof will be in tasting the pudding. 5GHz has been around for quite a number of years. Still nothing beats cable.
Definitely on my to-get-list! I think Nordic is testing the waters with the HD remasters. Wonder who is going to do this one? Gunfire Games again perhaps? Oh and I loved War's chaos eater, you need big muscles to wield a big sword.
I wonder how they are going to continue the story. Both the world stone and black soul stones are smashed. They running out of stones to keep them all in lol. Their spirits are supposedly floating around and that's when they going to call Ghostbusters!
Damn photo mode looks awesome. Camera replays looks the bizz as always. I just hope the cars don't sound like vacuum cleaners again! Forza's car sounds were authentic. If I recall there was a "making of" video of how they recorded every car sound with mics from behind the cars exhaust to on top of the bonnet. And they even ran the cars on dynos to record a more realistic driving sound. I'd rather play a racing game that doesn't look all that eye candy and have authentic loud car sounds than awesome looking cars with vacuum cleaner engine sounds.
I played Max Payne back in 2001 when it released on PC. So much hype surrounding the whole bullet time thing, especially after The Matrix movie. Funny I finished both Max Payne 1 and 2 recently in February. Still as awesome as always, and the loudness of the shotgun! Boom "chck chck!"
This sounds so wierd. A Norse setting with a Greek anti-hero? Thought they'd go with a Norseman. If this is true there's some definite explaining to do how he ends up in the nine realms. I would've rather then gone with an angry mead loving Norseman and let Kratos be in his world.
But isn't the current sexy PS4 already capable of 4K output for pictures and video? (According to wiki.) So I don't understand why the rumours are "marketing" it as 4K, even if everyone knows its highly unlikely to render games in native 4K resolution?
