Funnily enough I completed this last night. I have to say the end game (post last order) was epic in only the way Kojima could make it. Top game and my personal GOTY, I hope all our PC owning friends enjoy it too (and get to the end!).
Surely Decima will be used. The fact he managed to make Death Stranding 2 appear to run without loading screens at all surely shows how much his team have mastered what must be one of the more powerful engines out there.
Antiquated?? What a strange and interesting choice of words from the marketing department.
I think the real message is that Xbox exclusives are now irrelevant and MS are simply crying because their strategy of buying exclusives (for Gamepass) has failed, the big chequebook spending of Bethesda and Activistion (for Gamepass exclusives) has also failed. Now they have to resort to multiplatform to have any form of relevance and so for them the strategy of console exclusives is 'antiquated'.
Both SONY and Nintendo's strategy of console exclusives however is anything but, you can see how games like Astrobot and Ghost of Yotei push the envelope on what can be created (in PS5 examples) or any Mario game on what new ideas can be brought to the table.
I thought that having those special editions that didn't include the game was already taking the p1ss, but now the new trend is to have game discs without the game on it...WTF!!!
Surely it costs the same to print 1.3GB or 77GB to a disc?
For some reasons the core principle of Lumines just doesn't work for me either. It's all very pretty and sounds good but I just find the gameplay boring.
If you need to have a download to make the game actually run, might as well just stick with the digital version.
Game preservationists, does this really count? Might as well just be a URL in a text file on the disc that calls the whole game to download. It's just smoke and mirrors from MS again.
Wow!! What a massive surprise, best news of the day!
Huge fan of Deus Ex back in the day (can still hear the theme music in my head now). The PS2 port was poor though so hopefully this version will rule. Awesome!
To be fair, A24 have made some very interesting, strange movies over the last few years. Certainly not mainstream so I have reasonable hopes they could make something cool here.
"We also have a system internally called Self Play, which is able to play the game from start to end, as well as attaching profiling tools to this while it does it,"
Yep, they attached an elastic band to the left stick to push it up constantly.
Burnout 2: Point of Impact (I played on Gamecube) was my favourite. That whistly-wheeze when you hit the nitro is an all-time classic sound effect too.
'Correct the speed of getting up after being knocked down'
I read about this on another review, basically the bosses can currently stun lock the player by knocking you down and then are able to keep attacking before you can get up in time. Madness!! How did that get through play testing?

Re: Don't Expect Intergalactic PS5 to Launch Until at Least 2027
What's even sadder then these 'leakers' giving out there nonsense rumours, is when they deny rumours or leaks that they didn't start themselves.
Re: 'Terrible' Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 European Sales Are a Devastating 63% Below Battlefield 6
Finally, people are tired of eating the same regurgitated *****.

Too soon?

I heard Mortal Kombat Collection is the first cross-buy game.
Many people are cross they bought it!!!
I'll get my coat.
Re: As PHYSINT Begins Early Development, Hideo Kojima Visits Long-Time Ally Guerrilla Games
Surely Decima will be used.
The fact he managed to make Death Stranding 2 appear to run without loading screens at all surely shows how much his team have mastered what must be one of the more powerful engines out there.
Re: Talking Point: If Xbox Drops the Cost, Would You Be Happy Still Paying for PS6 Multiplayer?
Of course it's going to be free multiplayer on the next Xbox, it's a PC with an Xbox sticker on it.
It's be like trying to make every PC gamer pay for multiplayer, impossible!!
Re: Rumour: Halo 2, Halo 3 Remakes Also Purportedly Planned for PS5
Is it a leak or is it stating the bleeding obvious.
I'm going to leak now, Gears 2&3 also coming to PlayStation in the future.
Re: Talking Point: Is PS5 Really in Competition with TikTok?
You might as well say sleeping, eating and w*nking are in competition with PlayStation, if the argument is taking time away from gaming.
Re: 'We Want to Be Everywhere, on Every Platform': Microsoft CEO Once Again Commits to PS5
I wonder if he asked Co-pilot to write that little speech for him.
Re: First PS Plus Essential Game for November 2025 Leaked
Great game! Played it through in essential and thought was brilliant.
Re: Expect More Halo Games on PS5, Dev Says Series Is 'on PlayStation Going Forward'
Reminds me of when Sonic games started appearing on Nintendo!

Re: We're Lovin' This McDonald's x Street Fighter Collaboration
Just shows how iconic SF2 really is, 4 named versions later but SF2 is still the one that McD's (and Capcom) want to use for the collaboration.
Totally awesome....now I want a Big Mac.
Re: Here's How Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Holds Up on the $1,000 ROG Xbox Ally X
PS5 + PS Portal and you have a very similar (somewhat better) experience for around half the price.
Re: Lumines Arise's Free Demo Is Back for a Limited Time on PS5
@Kidfunkadelic83 Agreed!!
For some reasons the core principle of Lumines just doesn't work for me either. It's all very pretty and sounds good but I just find the gameplay boring.
Re: Confirmed: Oblivion Remastered's PS5 Physical Edition Requires 'Additional Download' to Actually Play
Well then, what's the point of it?
If you need to have a download to make the game actually run, might as well just stick with the digital version.
Game preservationists, does this really count? Might as well just be a URL in a text file on the disc that calls the whole game to download.
It's just smoke and mirrors from MS again.
Re: Tekken 8 Newcomer Miary Zo Bursts into the King of Iron Fist Tournament This December
"Personally, we’re not all that inspired by Miary’s design – she’s your typical busty female fighting game character."
Remember, we're not supposed to enjoy boobies anymore these days.
Re: October 2025 PS Plus Essential Games Available to Download Now
Alan Wake 2 is brilliant but do not sleep on Cocoon, it is a masterpiece.

Re: Sony Is a 'Terrible Company' That's 'Blowing It in the Games Business', Says Michael Pachter
God is Michael Patcher still going???
Bit weird to say 'connect to TV' is the future and SONY is blowing it, when SONY makes some incredible TVs which are full of options for gaming modes.
Re: Crazy Rich Asians Star Gemma Chan Is 007 First Light's Q-tie
So Q is now a beautiful young lady!!!
Well if they are keeping Bond in character it won't be long before he tries to shag her.
Re: Classic Cyberpunk RPG Deus Ex Is Being Remastered on PS5 in February 2026
Wow!!
What a massive surprise, best news of the day!
Huge fan of Deus Ex back in the day (can still hear the theme music in my head now).

Re: Baby Steps (PS5) - A Rewarding, Surrealist Odyssey for Those Willing to Fail
Sounds like a 3D version of that terrible 'Get over it' game.
Pass from me.
Re: 'Quit Game and Restart': Borderlands 4 Runs Worse the Longer You Play on All Consoles
The advice is 'quit game and restart'.
It should be 'quit game and refund'.

Re: Destiny 2 Does Its Best Star Wars Impression with Renegades Expansion
Excellent gunplay on Destiny 2, still some of the best in general I say.
However the whole game now is just so tired out.
Helldivers 2 is just way more fun!
Re: Wolverine PS5 to Finally Be Revealed in Next State of Play, It's Claimed
I'm actually very interested to see all the outfits / skins that should be available to collect (much like the Spiderman outfits).
I'm going full Weapon X.
Re: Could You Be Persuaded to Watch a Call of Duty Movie?
But won't it just be lots of soldiers camping around corners quick scoping anyone who runs past with their sniper rifle?

He's probably annoyed because his 'analysis' is rubbish.

Re: Hellblade 2's Xbox to PS5 Port Seems Like It Was a Breeze to Make

Well then I'll wait for the 'Game of the Decade' edition.
Re: These New PS1 Toy Capsules Are Worth the Price of a Flight to Tokyo
I want the ICO one.
Re: New PS5 Games for August and September 2025
MGSD & Gear of War I think, maybe Silent Hill F too if it reviews well.
By the way, for those who like to pre-order physical, MGSD is currently £59 on Amazon for the standard edition (save £11!!!).
Re: These 5+ New PS5, PS4 Games Are Coming Out This Week (4th-10th August)

My kind of girl
Re: Wreckreation Does Its Very Best Burnout Impression in PS5, PS4 Trailer
Burnout 2: Point of Impact (I played on Gamecube) was my favourite.
That whistly-wheeze when you hit the nitro is an all-time classic sound effect too.
Re: Rumour: Kingdom Come: Deliverance Coming to PS5 with Native Version
If it runs at a solid 60fps then it will improve things remarkably.
