It feels like all modern fighting games, have become more and more mediocre.
They just keep focusing on the wrong things now. And new characters lacks the charm of the old ones. It's just become so damn generic.
Wish a new IP, would show up and reboot the genre.
@RoomWithaMoose I'm talking about over here, on Push Square. Compare how much crap Crimson Desert have gotten, both when it comes to articles and the comments, with what E33 got. Crimson seems to have become a punching bag, which is a shame, since it's a really good game.
No thanks. Let's see how long this one survives. I wish Bungie would make a new Single Player FPS again. Though that boat have probably sailed, and sunk, a long time ago.
Oh well, Having a great time with Crimson Desert though 😁
They better let us use a toggle to turn it off. If the native frame rate, is above 60fps, then it can be usable, in some games. But if they will use frame gen, to go from native 30fps to 60, it will be a terrible experience, due to heavy input lag.
The base PS5 are showing the age now..
The native resolutions, in performance modes, are so low, that upscaling can only do so much to help making the games sharper.
The Pro is really starting to deliver the goods, as PSSR2, in games like Alan Wake 2, are making huge improvements.
The base PS5 is still a good console, but games are becoming so demanding, that no matter how much fans want the generation to continue, Sony can't wait until 2029 to release
the PS6. The Pro will be able to survive longer though, thanks to PSSR2.
@Issen_Mode They would have to get permission from Capcom, to show off this demo. And a lot of devs have shown interest in this tech. It makes wonder out of the crappy human models in Starfield. But as with all these features, you can always turn it off.
"Nvidia's attempt to piss on PS5 Pro's parade?" Damn, could you fanboy a bit more? 😂 I'm so tired of these damn articles, that just adds fuel on all the console/pc drama...
Preservation...
Discs won't last forever (and neither will the consoles and disc drives), the best way, is to keep the iso files backed up digitally, with the latest patches included.
Basically every game, from the Atari 2600 up til today, is preserved digitally, for future generations to experience, through emulation, when the consoles have died.
I wouldn't wanna waste physical space, on a disc, that will basically contain a BETA version. These open world games, are patched so many times, that nothing of that original V1.0 data remains.
Already got the Steam version, in my basket.
If they turn it into another "Trails" like game, with the same engine and anime designs, then I'm not interested. Just for once, Falcom, give it a different style and look. Something without teen characters, please.
I don't know why anyone would take the sexscenes seriously, as it's so obviously done tongue in cheek, and not a bit graphic.
Unless you can't handle seeing a vase or candle get knocked off the table, during those off screen moments 😂
I've read a lot of criticism of Grace. But those people don't seem to understand what PTSD does to you. She's been through, and seen, a LOT of *****, that would damage ANYONE. I loved her character, and it was a nice balance between her parts, and Chris action packed moments. The entire cast was great in this one.
It took me 12 hour to finish on standard mode. Too me, that's the perfect length, of a single player game like this. I often go back and replay RE games, from time to time, something I wouldn't do, if it took 50 hours to get through them. I hate how open world games, have made people expect 50-100 hours, from ALL games now. I prefer quality before quantity, and I don't want a game, to waste my time. I'm 50 now, and I always loose interest in a game, around 20-30 hours. I just don't have the patience for bloat and filler crap.
I hope Capcom continues to make this kind of single player games, forever.
Ah yes, GaaS games and AAA that we won't see for the next 7 years, unless they're cancelled and the studios shutdown.
Boy do I not have "high expectations" for the PS6 generation 🤣
Even as mostly a PC gamer these days, I'm not mad about that decision. It means that my PS5 Pro might actually get some use in the future. I guess I'll wait and see if it's true, before I decide if I'm gonna keep the console or not.
I'm so pissed of about this.
I actually hoped that Bluepoint, was the ones making the God of War trilogy remake...
This PS generation, keeps getting worse...
If they delay it as far as to 2030 year, the hardware will be outdated on release, unless they go back and upgrade the specs they have locked in by now, basically making it a PS6 "Pro" on release. But updating the locked in specs now will be expensive, so probably won't happen.
People crying about preservation, all PS3 and PSP etc, are already preserved as iso files, easily obtainable on an insane amount of sites. You had your chance to buy it, for almost 20 years. Just buy a disc, if you are suddenly so manic about playing the PS3 version.
If you bought them, you can still re-download them. You had the chance to buy them for YEARS. And I doubt anyone with a PS5, would choose to buy the PS3/PSP version, when the new Master Collection is coming.
The internet creating drama, as usual. 😂
Good news about 21:9. I got a 45 inch ultrawide oled, and would love to play more exclusives like that. Like the upcoming Saros. The wider field of view, makes a big difference

Well at the moment on metacritic:
