I’m playing with RT on because it looks so beautiful! But the frame rate is all over the place, so bad. If the PS5 Pro can play it at 60+FPS I’ll be happy.
Performance mode looks very blurry though and the only difference I can tell so far (only an hour in) is the monsters look more detailed. Kinda disappointed- but I’m probably remembering it looking better than it did.
This looks really fun, but I don’t really like Harry Potter so I’ll give it a miss. Hopefully one day the devs make another set in a different universe.
I was looking forward to it but the demo put me off. Big fan of a couple of old star ocean games. The intro were they’re getting shot up and stuff was so bad. The emptiness and art style felt in the environments were poor. Honestly, I think after Elden Ring’s environments, Star Ocean and Valkyrie felt very last Gen and very out dated.
@AdamNovice nah, I distinctly remember people complaining when the PS4 came out. HD TV’s were just taking off so there was a lot of people with new shiny 1080 TVs for the first time and pushing 1080 @30fps was an issue.
So pretty much the same price as the Xbox elite controller. Nice. Gimme!!
Edit: Ah, why are people bringing up the Xbox S and not the Xbox Elite controller lol. What a strange way to try and compare something gees. “I could buy 6 buckets of paint for that! FU Sony!!”
I’m going to be buying this on PC and PS5. It will have to take a big graphic hit playing on my laptop, but this is my OG game from when I was a youth. I need a copy on my PC (the original had a great HD upgrade on GOG.com). And on PS5 so I can play it in all its 4K VRR RT OLED glory while sitting my old ass in the couch. I was really hoping for a collectors edition but I’ll take what I can.
With people liking hard games again (thanks DS and Elden Ring!) I’m sure this will find a new fanbase with the younger gen.
The original was only OK. The cell style was new and different and the comic book style. But I don’t see why people would spend money and time making two remakes. Strange.
Had fun with the beta. But yeah, it’s still the same old game from a decades ago. The beta was enough for me, I’ll wait for something else. Hopefully the Last of Us multiplayer isn’t too far away.
It’s been a long time, but I thought the PAL version while running at 50hz looked better because they have extra scan lines? The lower hz was due to the CRT having to display the extra lines? Memory a bit clouded after 35yrs. Don’t do drugs and raves kids.
It was okay. The parkour got a bit tedious by the end and I thought the performance was quite bad even on PS5. The graphics quality didn’t seem to match the sluggishness. I kinda do hope for a PS5 Pro next year, seems games struggle to hit 60fps without big graphic and resolution downgrades. I’m looking forward to seeing what proper DLC they come out with, they added some good stuff to DL1. but so far I’m not impressed with time trials, skin unlocks and such. Waiting on story DLC.
@HUMPERDOO I quit it after a while too, think it was around the time you can move the bridge to open different portals. I found it boring, walk forward, attacked by mob, kill mob, walk forward 10m, another mob, mash attack button, move forward, mob again and again. I just tired of it quickly for some reason. It’s kinda like Guardians of the Galaxy but I found that story was worth pushing forward. I’ll probably skip the next GOW unless it’s free.

Re: Out Today: The Witcher 3's Free PS5 Upgrade Is Available Now
@Ravix wouldn’t be so bad if it was 30fps minimum. Some places it was a stuttering mess. Unfortunately.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Will Get a Game of the Year Edition on PS5
Ignoring technical issues, honestly thought it was average.
Re: Days Gone Director Blames Woke Reviewers, Programmers for Critical Reception
Nah, it was just boring. But blaming woke people will get the $$$ rolling in, I guess he’s raising money for another game?
Re: Rumour: Sony Clamping Down on PS Store Shovelware with New Regulations
Good! Pull those crappy religious games.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy Looks Like Another Magical PS5, PS4 Open World
This looks really fun, but I don’t really like Harry Potter so I’ll give it a miss. Hopefully one day the devs make another set in a different universe.
Re: Forspoken Is a Modern PS5 Open World Game, Alright
Really looking forward to this.
Re: Random: Video Game News Posting Machine Nibel Quits Twitter
Quit Twitter the other day too.
Re: Poll: Do You Care About 60fps on PS5?
PS5 Pro and onwards, 60fps only.
Re: Dog Lovers Left Devastated as Resident Evil 4 Remake Rewrites History for the Worse
Capcom gone woke. SMH.
Re: PS5 Users Unimpressed with DualSense Edge Controller's Premium Price Tag
Elite controller is $250 over here so I expected that price range. It’s unfortunate but I figure it’s about 2x full priced games ($120) so meh.
Re: God of War Ragnarok on PS5 Runs at Up to 120fps, Four Graphics Modes
Nice. Keen to try 40fps @ 4k.

Re: A Plague Tale: Requiem Caps Out at Just 30fps on PS5, 40fps on 120hz TVs
Would prefer 4K 40fps as a minimum as standard. Lower resolution and at 30fps seems sad.
Re: At Least The Callisto Protocol Will Be 60fps
Yeah we’re gonna have to wait for the PS5 Pro for 4K 60fps to be normal. Much like the PS4 Pro to get 1080p 30fps.
Re: Poll: Will You Buy the DualSense Edge PS5 Controller, Now We Have a Price?
Heck yeah, as soon as it release in Australia I’m getting one. Having back paddles is fantastic.
Re: System Shock Remake Could Be a March 2023 Release, With a Bit of Luck

Re: No More Heroes III (PS5) - A Suda51 Sequel Full of Surprises
Been waiting for this for a while! This was a great game on the Switch, but the frame rate was bad. Hopefully this means we’ll get NMH4 for PS5.
Re: Talking Point: We Need to Discuss This Horizon Zero Dawn PS5 Remaster
I wonder if it will be multiplayer focused game, with ZD kinda bundle in?
Re: Next No Man's Sky PS5, PS4 Update to Streamline Game for Newcomers, Veterans
I might wait for the VR2 before getting into it. Will give me something good on launch day to play.
Re: Native PS5 Version of Sci-Fi RPG The Outer Worlds Rated for Release
Well, if #2 isn’t coming to PS5 I don’t see why I’d want to play #1.
Re: Hands On: You Know What? Sonic Frontiers Might Actually Be Okay
Yeah I thought it looked good. Not sure what the unhappiness was about. I’ll be picking it up.
Re: Valkyrie Elysium Has Multiple Endings, Roughly 20 Hours Long, with More Content Coming
Looking forward to it.
Re: Ubisoft Seems to Think Far Cry 6 Was Game of the Year
Far Cry 6 was my favourite Far Cry. But I was disappointed with the season pass. A real expansion would be great.
Re: Mini Review: The DioField Chronicle (PS5) - Dull Characters in an Intriguing Strategy RPG
That’s a shame. Pretty much over games that force hours of grinding just to make the game longer. Not every game needs to be 80hrs +.
Re: Mini Review: XIII (PS5) - Improvements Can't Save This Remaster Redo
The original was only OK. The cell style was new and different and the comic book style. But I don’t see why people would spend money and time making two remakes. Strange.
Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Warzone 2.0 to Be Separate But Integrated Installs
Had fun with the beta. But yeah, it’s still the same old game from a decades ago. The beta was enough for me, I’ll wait for something else. Hopefully the Last of Us multiplayer isn’t too far away.
Re: Valkyrie Elysium's Free November Update to Add New Game Mode, Difficulty Options
Played enough of the demo to know I’ll be buying it. Didn’t finish it as don’t want any spoilers.
But oh boy, that Star Ocean demo… has to be the weirdest looking character models I’ve seen in the past decade.

Re: UK Sales Charts: The Last of Us 1 Slips While Horizon Forbidden West Holds Steady
@ChrisDeku fascinating, thanks for that info.
Re: UK Sales Charts: The Last of Us 1 Slips While Horizon Forbidden West Holds Steady
Switching between Elden Ring and Horizon to take a break from each was a great combo.
I will get LoU1 at some strange, I’m busy with all the PS Extra games at the moment, and it’s a bit pricey here in Australia.
Re: Rumour: Tons of PSVR2 Devs Porting PSVR Games to New Headset
I sure hope StarWars Squadrons gets patched.
Re: Sony Will Roll Out Superior 60Hz NTSC Options for Majority of PS Plus Classics
It’s been a long time, but I thought the PAL version while running at 50hz looked better because they have extra scan lines? The lower hz was due to the CRT having to display the extra lines? Memory a bit clouded after 35yrs. Don’t do drugs and raves kids.
Re: Baldo: The Guardian Owls Gets a Ton of Free Content in The Three Fairies Update
Great they kept at it. I’ll pick it up one day for sure.

@WallyWest wow, making excuses for devs so sweet.
Re: Dying Light 2's Update 1.4.0 is the First Step on a Planned Five-Year Free Content Roadmap
@WallyWest nah, but I’ll get a PS5 Pro or a PS6 when it comes out. Cheers.

Re: The Next Expansion for Fallout 76 Is Coming in September to PS4, and Season 9 is Now Live
@PlatinumPlaystation yeah, I kinda feel since Bethesdas next games are Xbox only they’re trying to milk $ from PS users as long as they can.
Re: System Shock Remains Horrifying in New Trailer, Still Slated for PS5, PS4 in 2022
@Northern_munkey I remember the part that had you walking past corridors after corridors of deactivated borg men. And then they start moving!
Re: System Shock Remains Horrifying in New Trailer, Still Slated for PS5, PS4 in 2022
Yes! I hope there’s a collectors edition for PS5. The first game is my all time fav (above Deus Ex). So stoked to play this remake. I can’t wait!
Re: Lengthy Gotham Knights Gameplay Walkthrough Revealed
Oh wow. I was interested until this walkthrough lol. Those characters are naff.
Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite PS5, PS4 Game Shown at State of Play?
I felt like Stray and Seasons are the most interesting. The rest are that same games we’ve all played before.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for June 2022?
Are there people that own a PlayStation and haven’t played God of War?

Re: Rumour: PS Plus Games for June 2022 Might Have Leaked
Isn’t GOW already free if you have a PS subscription?
Re: State of Play Showcase for Thursday Confirmed, PSVR2 Games Included
Hoping for news of the Star Wars RPG remake.
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS Plus Extra or Premium?
They’re all games that, if you’ve been a PS player for a number of years, you’ve already played. Good for new people though.
