@Malaise I think the thing is that GTA used to be an exaggeration of society - a total parody to the point that it was easy to not take seriously and just enjoy the ridiculousness of it all!
However, the behaviors of society portrayed in the GTA 6 trailer are much more of a reflection of reality that it's simply embarrassing - like, even if it was all meant to be an exaggeration, it was all entire plausible behavior in this social media-obsessed world (especially here in the US).
@get2sammyb "This is why the GTA 6 example is interesting because you absolutely will get millions and millions and millions of people ready to pay extra to play it "early"."
This is the saddest commentary of modern society I have ever seen. I seriously felt dumber watching that GTA 6 trailer and the fact people will clamor to play it makes me die a little bit inside.
Spoiler: At 43 years old, I feel like GTA isn't for me. It was kind of cool when I was younger as it was pushing boundaries in a gamescape where mature content was scarce. Now it just seems so ridiculous.
@rjejr It's a tough call when we don't know the specifics of the deal Square Enix made with NetEase to contract Ouka Studios to work on the game.
It's possible that NetEase flow of money was only for the development costs of the game (plus overhead) so only Square Enix (as the publisher) gets the sales dollar. But, it's also possible NetEase takes a small cut for every sale. I guess we'll never know.
@Czar_Khastik Wow, an actual serious comment from you. Is it a full moon or something?!
I wonder if Square Enix was made aware of this. It certainly sounds like it was something in the works and the parent company was just waiting to finish contractual obligations.
I hope the developers land on their feet. Such a shame.
@jrt87 So, I will say Square Enix did do a patch for the game to mark side quests that are actually relevant to story/unlock features over side quests that really only provide EXP and some materials. So, you could ignore the fluff and focus on only the important stuff.
Unfortunately for me, those came AFTER I did all possible quests in the game (so I was basically at the end of the game).
The game was fun, but it it's more like God of War than Final Fantasy and the writers added a lot of the "F-word" for no reason other than to be edgy.
Some of the world lore is pretty sad and messed up, but the overarching storyline is basic Final Fantasy fare (not that there is anything bad about it, just doesn't break any new ground).
The highlights of the game are the spectacle Eikon battles and cutscenes, not really the in-between. For me, it was a good game, but not an amazing GOTY-contender that I expected based on comments about the game.
There was a news article on PureXbox either a few days ago or last week that said the game is delayed due to a memory leak found during the QA checks and couldn’t pass certification for release on the console.
Why would anyone lie about that when that’s not even something that looks bad for Microsoft?
The developer is trying to get it out but can’t pass what it needs to pass to get the green light. 🤷♂️
UPDATE: This information didn’t come from any official source just another claim from a so-called “leaker”. Though it’s a heck of a lot more credible than whatever this person is claiming.
"If you have Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 already installed and fully updated, you'll receive a patch to the Call of Duty app to access the beta"
In other words, the game is essentially glorified DLC! 😂
Also, the fact Loading Screens are actual in-game rewards is just insane. Like, have they really run out of character/weapon customization ideas and moved on to loading screens?!
Seeing as how I am transitioning to PC (pretty much fully replaced my Xbox), I'd love for this game to come to PC!
That being said, I do have the PS5 version pre-ordered because this game looks too good to wait for (plus my daughter loves Astro's Playroom so it's something we can play together on a comfortable couch instead of huddling around a PC monitor).
While I didn't click the "double dip option" it would definitely be on the table if the game lives up to the hype (admittedly I'd wait for it to hit like a Steam sale or something since I already paid full price once).
Except for the large-scale Legend of Zelda titles, Nintendo doesn't spend nearly as much on games and turns out amazing titles regularly - proving that you don't need to spend eye-watering amounts to make a great game.
The problem is that Sony decided it wanted its games to be "summer blockbuster movies" with the budget to boot and got rid of the games that Nintendo still makes.
I bet Astro Bot didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars and I bet it will be one of Sony's most memorable games this generation!
Bloodborne was a great game, but the rabid obsession with it is somewhat ridiculous.
I certainly wouldn't say no to a sequel or a remake, but even PS4 emulation thrives off of ensuring that Bloodborne is playable - a vast majority of videos you find regarding PS4 emulation focus on showing Bloodborne.
I guess I don't get why Bloodborne in particular stands out so much.
I thought maybe it had something to do with the game never branching out beyond PlayStation, but Demon's Souls doesn't garner as much attention as Bloodborne.
@UltimateOtaku91 @cburg I'll enjoy this on PC via Game Pass and have access to full ray-tracing! So it will be Microsoft Windows that provides the "best way to play".
But I do hope everyone enjoys it on whatever platform they chose/can afford. We're all winners!👍
If you are going to spend 8 years developing an online-only game, it better be something that is completely different and not something that is chasing a trend.
I do feel bad for those who put a lot of hard work into the game. I am sure there was passion there. But this was just not the game to make when so many others don't cost anything to download and play (and can continue to cost nothing).
While I hate Battle Passes and MTX, at least knowing the game didn't cost anything up front and you can kind of "pay what you want (if anything)" is a nice formula when you're a cheapskate.
Plus, the PS5 version ends up costing EVEN MORE since it requires PS+ to fully enjoy.
Maybe after just finishing up Lords of the Fallen my senses are heightened, but after my initial issues with a particular early game mini-boss, I am destroying this game!
It's pretty fun and from what I have seen on HowLongToBeat, not too long - which is great since I am coming off a marathon of long games.
@jrt87 I managed to find a good balance of image quality and performance by putting Full RT on Very High, Very High Preset, and dropping DLSS down to 60% (Balanced).
I get in the upper 70s - 90s with Frame Generation and input latency feels fine using the Xbox controller. I also turned off Motion Blur because it was causing weird artifacts around the character when turning the camera.
The only thing I am mad about with the game is that I spent 45 minutes trying to kill a powerful mini-boss only to find out there is some game mechanic that I haven't learned about yet that is required to gather whatever it dropped and now it's gone forever since it disappeared since Resting!
Basically, I spend a lot of time to "git gud" only to find out, there was a reason is felt way too powerful - I needed to wait to kill it!
I still haven't discovered whatever it is I needed to collect what it dropped.
I am being purposefully vague to avoid spoilers. Also, I am playing on PC, not PS5.
I don’t care where it ends up, I’ll be playing on PC anyways.
Does it suck for Microsoft that Sony will probably get to keep Wolverine for itself where as Microsoft has to share Indiana Jones? Sure. But that’s just how things are going these days.
I love Game Pass for how it benefits me and my wallet, but there is no doubt it’s soured things for Microsoft when it comes to cutting deals for major titles (assuming this is true and multi-platform was part of the deal).
@Glassneedles @belmont @Ralizah Thanks for the tips.
As far as the PC version of this game:
Ryzen 7800X3D, 32GB RAM, Nvidia 4070 Super:
Running Ultra settings and Native 1440p/DLAA/Frame-gen Off I get anywhere from 58 - 75fps (sometimes 80fps and at one point dropped to 40s).
The game seems to do the exact same thing as the PS5 in Performance Mode where combat encounters perform higher and then drop when exploration kicks back in.
Throw in DLSS Quality Mode and it’s up into the 90s.
Cutscenes are locked to 30fps (and I had one that ran at 59fps for some reason).
I tried using Dynamic Resolution scaling, but it was trying to scale to achieve 165Hz and the image got really soft (I only had a few minutes to play around with settings).
I will experiment with it later and maybe change the framerate box to 60 instead and see if the game locks to 60 with minimal scaling since the demo runs above 60fps most times (larger draw distances drop fps down below 60fps).
Visually, I wouldn’t say there is much difference from this and the PS5 version (that I remember). I am sure Digital Foundry will be able to tell us more on that front. It just has the ability to perform better with the right settings.
@Yousef- This game is more "God of War" and less "Final Fantasy" - if that helps.
I wouldn't say it's a tough game - especially if you actually do all the available side quests before moving on with the story as you'll level up from the experience gained and you'll start to get a little over leveled - but I do believe I might have died a couple times. It's very manageable.
I have been out of the PC game for 14 years (until 2 weeks ago) and I am still hunting for the best PC deals.
I do want to slowly replace my Xbox and PlayStation libraries with PC versions, but I am not paying full price anymore!
Perhaps I will download this demo tonight to see how my rig handles it (just for kicks as I am certainly not planning to get this anytime soon since I beat it earlier this year).
CyberPowerPC prebuild - Ryzen 7800X3D, 32GB RAM, Nvidia 4070 Super, 2TB M.2 drive up to 6GB/s read speed - $1699 and then I got an LG 1440p HDR10 165Hz G-synch monitor for $250.
The thing is an absolute beast!
I have been playing Lords of the Fallen at native 1440p/DLAA at Cinematic quality settings and getting around 70fps (sometimes dips below 60 if things fill screen) - if I use DLSS Quality mode, I can get that up to 90fps. No frame gen used, either.
Just for fun, I turned off V-sync for Alien Isolation and was getting over 500fps. 🤣
I just like that my copy of Ultimate Doom on Steam updated to Doom 1 & 2.
I do need to see if the original DOS version of Doom II is included as I only had access to the original version of Ultimate Doom - especially since I can't just buy Doom 2 on Steam now with this being combined.
Even if you agree with the statement and there is some truth to it, it's not smart for a studio to burn bridges it may need to cross one day - assuming the comment came from an actual developer.
@UltimateOtaku91 Part of me feels like Sony knew Bungie wasn't going to meet those targets and fully planned to absorb the talent for exclusive content.
$350 is still too steep to buy something that could possibly make me vomit. I have had VR sickness a long time ago (like..late 90's long time ago), and I have been hesitant about it ever since.
I don't think it ultimately matters if the quality of the game is fantastic. What matters is that there are other games within the same genre that have similarly great quality that don't have a $40 upfront cost.
Factions would have been the better gamble because at least it would have been a different kind of multiplayer experience rather than chasing trends with yet another the Hero Shooter.
I know Naughty Dog didn't want to become a studio that solely focused on a single GaaS, but Sony could have brought in another studio to assist Naughty Dog with development and then take over the maintenance/updates after release.

Re: Here's Your First Look at Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's Chaotic Competitive PS5, PS4 Multiplayer
Why do they show all this cinematic stuff for the multi-player review when it's not even close to how multi-player looks?!

1440p
DLSS Quality (75%)
Very High Preset
Full RT On and set to Medium
Frame Gen On: 90s - 100s
Frame Gen Off: 50s - 60s
So input lag isn’t too off
If I turn off RT, I can get 70s without FG and into the 100s with it on.

I never played it on original release, so this will be a great time to jump in.
Re: Concord's Free Open Beta Is Performing Abysmally on PC
I don't think it ultimately matters if the quality of the game is fantastic. What matters is that there are other games within the same genre that have similarly great quality that don't have a $40 upfront cost.
Factions would have been the better gamble because at least it would have been a different kind of multiplayer experience rather than chasing trends with yet another the Hero Shooter.
I know Naughty Dog didn't want to become a studio that solely focused on a single GaaS, but Sony could have brought in another studio to assist Naughty Dog with development and then take over the maintenance/updates after release.
