I don’t know if I’m more disappointed that it’s just the PS1 version running on implicit conversions emulator, or that they needed to change how the save states and rewind function work to make it appear different from all the other PS1/2/psp classics running on the same emulator.
Teddy Roosevelt, Elvira and snoopy will be wearing only period accurate uniforms in codblops7 out of respect for the men and women who complained online 🫡
free is good and all but Saudi Arabia attempting to push itself as a cool soft power is the equivalent of diarrhoea being rebranded as an energy drink.
This is kind of a mixed bag. It’s great that they’re available on new hardware but at the same time the only people who play the classic releases for longer than five minutes are trophy hunters.
I’ll be playing Asscreed syndicate, two chapters left so hopefully I’ll be done by Monday. I’ll also be getting more and more agitated in the battlefield six beta. Outside of gaming I’ll be slowly weathering a Sherman tank model.
I think I’m neutral on b6 from what I’ve played, it can by entertaining at times but it also feels like I’ve been playing the exact same game for the last 20 years.
I’ll be playing asscreed syndicate on the 5pro along with some donkey Kong bananarama and mars war logs on the side. I will give battlefield 6 a few more matches but so far I do not care for it.
Fu*k 60fps an increase of unique npc heads is what’s really needed, you get used to 30fps after 20 minutes but seeing the same four heads with and without goatees used on hundreds of npc for 70+ hours start to cause a little madness.
It’s amazing what you can do when you spend $80 billion + and fail spectacularly. If Microsoft didn’t spend that money all these game would still be on this list except forza horizon 5.
I’ll be finishing off the remaining trophies that my skill level can manage in tony hawk 3+4 and I’ll be taking screenshots of all the creepy smiling in Clair obscur. I’ll probably play something in vr, maybe I’ll see if I can still murder Mads Mickelsen in Hitman.
@Dodoo amazon.ca, it’s still difficult to get a physical copy of Clair 33 in Canada plus I took advantage of a pricing error so I may have been kicked to the back of the queue by amazon in the hope that I would cancel my pre-order.
Sucks that one of the main reasons preventing releases of classic games is music licensing, at least these guys found a way around it by just stealing everything I guess.
I’m not sure yet, was attempting to platinum jedi survivor but the collectathon became ridiculous and was abruptly deleted, so probably something short or arcadey next.
Phil getting locked out of the building and security won’t let him back in to get his ozempic from the office fridge would have been a more amusing rumour but oh well.
Weekly physical only sales charts at this point are about as useful as an air conditioner in Nunavut during winter, but anyways I guess we have another game to throw on the sales angst pile no matter how well it did or didn’t do.
Ds2 is waiting for me in my mailbox but I need to finish Jedi survivor first so I’ll probably look at the box for a bit and install it but won’t start ds2 till next week.
I still want to play mindseye after watching some streams but the game would benefit going the bulletstorm route and adding the option to swap out the bland ass main character for a confused Duke Nukem

Re: Despite Concerns, Physical Copies of Gears of War PS5 Appear to Have the Campaign on the Disc
@Balaam_ yup keeping in a 400+ hour trophy that was only included on the 360 to pad user engagement stats is a bucket of turds.

The only thing I can remember about starfield is finding out that the Xbox series X doesn’t support hdr in 1440p

English unless the main character voice actor is as bad as she was in dragon age then I’d grudgingly switch to Japanese.
Re: Old School Rally Recaptures Those Classic Colin McRae Vibes on PS5, PS4
Developers need to patch in some texture warping for that true ps1/saturn feel.
Re: Industry Body Representing Publishers Like PlayStation Says Stop Killing Games' Proposals Would Be 'Prohibitively Expensive'
The best out come for this is a barely functioning multiplayer game that nobody plays. Just seems like a complete waste of outrage

Why did 16 flop on Xbox? You’ve had two years of mixed opinion swirling about. Did exclusivity hurt sales? Only Santa truly knows.
