@Northern_munkey i played a 1000 hours of TitanFall on Xbox One and outside of my Gears of War Multiplayer obsession, and of course early days Halo and COD. I thought it was one of the best online shooters ever made. I had that much fun with TitanFall. I miss it and am really ashamed more players didn’t jump in. But it’s hard to compete now with Fortnite and COD. I am keeping my eye on Battlefield 6 as i would love to dive into it next year.

@Andy22385 PSSR has had its issues but it was a strong showing in its first attempt. FSR 4 seems to be really cooking right now tho. Very high praise at the moment with time to improve it. I think the consoles will likely adopt it as it’s one less cost and time to their teams. Never say never of course. But didn’t mark Cenry say he was working alongside AMD to bring idea’s to FSR? If so that could be Sony’s direction forward. Too early to say for certain tho. 😀

@Northern_munkey @Ultimapunch even with PS6 a few years off, which makes sense as that would be 7 years. PS5 players will still see cross gen games for a few years or longer. So just stay on PS5. Many did that with their PS4’s.

Makes you wonder if there is some truth about people saying Sony will walk away from PSSR for FSR 4 . We know MS is likely to use FSR 4. So devs would save some time and energy with the builds. Wouldn’t mind seeing Sony try and improve PSSR. But if FSR 4 is as legit as it’s supposed to be. Maybe that is the play.

@nomither6 thats a good point and certainly a possibility. We all know it’s all about catching everyone on PS and PC up in story for E-day. E-day is the big game they want to see hold players. But your point is well taken and i can’t wait for all of it. Cause i am a Super GOW fan.

Remember when PS fans used to say Xbox released more limited edition controller than games? Anyone? Anyone remember that. It went like another Xbox controller, they release more controllers than games! Well……………. I could say that here. I won’t. I’ll be nice. But man. PS5 is out here doing the most to be stale. Good thing they sell lot’s of consoles tho right. Thats the counter argument to anything said about them.

Better replace it with something big. Cause that was a big Ip for them. Not so sure yet about intergalactic. We know very little about it. But the only reasons i buy a PS console is for the few exclusive games i wanted to play. This gen they are giving me more and more reasons to just play on PC. Both Sony and MS are multi platform publishers. I will wait a few more years before i switch to PC. But with Sony’s push to live service games and smaller and smaller windows of their games coming to PC. This news is another nail in the coffin for PS consoles for me. Which is sad and exciting all in the same.

@tameshiyaku @trev666 @Dimey @Wazeddie22 @nomither6, as someone with over 2200 hours in Gears 5 multiplayer. I was a little taken back by this but then i read a great idea and wanted to share. Maybe they will turn Gears collection into a hub like COD or Halo. So the campaigns drop in 2025, then E-day drops in it with online multiplayer and they continue to add Horde and older maps into the multiplayer. This would be a really great way to bring gamers back into gears of war hub as it would be constantly expanding over time with modes, maps. Gears of war and Red Dead are my favorite Ip’s in gaming so i will continue to follow every rumor on them i can. In fact a few sites for Gears already said this a few months ago and i didn’t take it to serious but it’s now gaining more traction. The other rumor is there could be a slide mechanic in E-day and multiplayer so maybe they are trying to find ways to bring the slide to the older maps? Time will tell, sorry for the long reply, but again i am as passionate about Gears of War as i am the entire gaming industry. I am happy to see it coming to more platforms to expand it’s reach. I expect it to do well on PS5. But it will really do big numbers being on PC. 😀

@Sarcasmatwork thats awesome. It’s always worth the time to play some RDR. It’s just so good. I am waiting for the update to 60fps. But when and if that happens i will play start to finish all over again.

@Sarcasmatwork HAHHA right! Still my favorite game ever. Too bad Rockstar won’t throw us a 60 fps patch to make us RDR fans happy. Then again GTA 6 will be 30 fps on console and only 60 fps on PC when it releases.

Please please be true, outside of RDR Gears of War is my favorite Ip in gaming. I have waited so long to see this collection in Unreal engine 5. I still play Gears 5 and it looks better than most next gen games. Really hope Xbox and PS gamers get to battle online with PC. The multiplayer isn’t for the faint of heart. It is brutally hard. I have thousands of hours in it and am still not anywhere near as good as I’d like to be. The single player games stand alone as one of the best trilogy’s ever. Really hope this is the year we see this long rumored title. Makes sense as it will give newer players on Xbox and first timers on PS the story before GOW E-Day. Please be true!!

@nomither6 man i was a young kid, but i loved all the Mario games, Mario kart was so much fun. Castlevania, Super Punch-Out. Zelda a link to the past. I mean there are just so many good games on that console. Donkey Kong Country was super fun.

@Dampsponge at this point as long as it was completely redone and had all the bells and whistles, screw it, i ‘d happily pay for it. But yeah you’re right in the sense, it don’t feel like no free upgrade coming anytime soon to any Rockstar game.

@nomither6 HAHAHA at number 6. A rock indeed. I only use my PS consoles since PS3 as an exclusive machine. PS5 exclusives haven’t done a lot for me yet. I did beat Ratchet and Clank rift apart 3 times cause it was fun and it looked next gen. But otherwise not much play time on it as of late. Super Nes was my first console i ever had and loved it to the moon and back. But Xbox 360 is in-fact my favorite.

@nomither6 i have the Xbox 360 as my 1A and the Super Nes as my 1B. It is just so close. And then the PS2. For me my PS order is

1 PS2
2 PS1
3 PS3
4 PS5
5 PS4

I loved my PS2. Heck i have loved all my PS console. But… and i take mess on here all the time for this. Sony always has my least favorite controller. I simply do not like the thumb sticks and the sizes they have came in. Most were to small and i find the Dual sense a little to wide and tall. That being said PS2 was a ton of fun. Me and my friends played Tekken Tag just about daily.

Please bring 60 fps to RDR2. We already know the PS5 and Series X can run it at 60fps. Just do it for the fan’s. We know once GTA 6 comes out that will be the focus going forward. But give the nearly 100 million RDR fans a bone.

This keeps up and in the next 5 years or so it’s going to be Microsoft, Sony, Rockstar and EA, Capcom left standing it feels like. I mean there are others doing well too obviously. But i don’t think Ubisoft as we once knew them will be left standing. WB is about to be really small and i wouldn’t be surprised to see them bought out at some point. Loads of others are hanging on barely as they continue to bleed money into projects that lose hundreds of millions. Plus that report a few weeks ago showed only around 12% of the player base is buying games with the rest living in an online service game for years, spending money in that ecosystem. It’s darned if you do and darned if you don’t for some of these teams.

@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare @RoomWithaMoose It’s not about every country for themselves, it’s about FAIR trade. Hence most of them are all on board alrieady. No resistance to fair trade. They know they got some deals over on us. It’s not their fault it was ours. But it’s also America first when anyone needs help. So they were getting next to if not free trade and aid. No thats not how anyone else does business. Again that was our fault. But this leadership didn’t do that in 2016 nor will they in 2024. Not sure why the twist of words when our leaders have already agreed. But the average video game players knows more than world wide leaders? Come on now guys. Come on now!

There is nothing subjective or bias about you do A to get X money and you don’t do A. In the real world you are fired for that. In this cause it was more American leaders saying don’t do anything and we will pay you and you don’t need to pay us. Again that stops now. They can throw there fits and I understand why some are. But the truth is business has rules, and while they didn’t break rules from bad written deals, the new deals are you will pay to do business with America. As it should be and always be. We will pay you and you will pay us. Fairly simple in terms.

@RoomWithaMoose yes sadly it’s all laced with some bias. Some is ok cause it can be seen as passion, to much is just ugly and damaging to the information. I don’t like it, but to your point it is a thing.

@RoomWithaMoose there is nothing subjective in a deal where the other country don’t pay. Sure we know why they would take the deal. I would too if in business. But that is just careless business on behalf of American politicians. That end now like it did in 2016. It’s not a threat to them, it more like you do what you are suppose to do, you hold your end of the deal, we hold ours. You don’t have to, we have people here that will do it and you will pay for it. Very simple stuff here. Not bullying, it’s business for a reason, it takes two sides not one.

@HonestHick however if you have a PC cause most on here said they did at the start of the launch of this generations. Or wait for the PS5 release, play Avowed. It’s one of Obsidians better games. Really enjoying the graphics and combat.

@Jay767 not so sure bird flu is political but ok. Yeah honestly, no kidding here, don’t buy a Xbox, as someone that loved the brand since the OG, they are slowly exiting for cloud and PC. Which could be the better move, we don’t know that future. But in console, they are more dead than a man that couldn’t ride a bike, tried to shake hands with thin air and pardon his “incident “ son all while smelling little kids hair.

These dudes can’t catch a break at this point.a buyout in 2025-2026 seems likely, tho if they went after their better IP’s they could make a long recovery. Sad times at Ubisoft.

@RoomWithaMoose thats not what’s happening so i have nothing to fear. Thats why i like to watch BBC and Australia news, it’s from a non biased position normally.. Again i am very happy with the direction of the country and would love to go back to talking video games. But i am ok with agreeing to disagree but i am keeping receipts for when things are not all this whack doom and gloom i have read all day.

@silberbauer15 there will be no trade war is the point. China will have to come to us and others for crude oil and other things. Funny how everyone else agreed to the terms already. There’s no trade war.

Also a honest question for you? So we pay china for the goods coming into the USA, but then China wants our farming equipment and oil sent over for no charge? Why would we take that deal? We aren’t a non profit organization. Everyone else pays it. But leaders before allowed it, and this is now the second time around Trump has said no, we don’t do business like that with anyone else. The buck stops here. Sorry if you disagree but me and millions say good!! We are happy about this. I am fine with others disagreeing with me, but this is simple stuff here. You’re not paying youre not getting it. I know it’s a bit more complex than that but in simple terms thats what this has been about since 2016.

@Iacon_Knight nothing just that Trump has met with Japan, Mexico and Canada and China is of course holding out which is fine. But overall many countries are on board and not being hit with high tariffs. Tariffs are not a bad thing, and can bring a lot of tax relief. Such as some of the plans going around congress now. But i was going to share other links to meeting with tariffs but the whole thing went sideways as it always does speaking these topics. 😊

@RoomWithaMoose thanks for the reply, but my comments are America first. Less tax. Accountability and inline with what the American people voted for. Sure it’s fine to have others opinion on such things, I respect that in a tactful respectful way, but the left attacks and doesn’t understand the word democracy. Again thanks for the reply, but yes i am done with this topic for now.

It sold like gangbusters on PC in china. Last i seen it was over 10 million. Throw in the PS5 copies and it’s a highly profitable IP.

@8bitOG i will, i always do.

@ChrisDeku i watch Fox, BBC and Australia news. I appreciate your time and concern. But i am happy with my country and its leaders. So are many others in this world. Now if we could all just go back to arguing video games on here that would be great! 😊

@8bitOG i watch Fox, BBC, and Australian news outlets. Yes.

@ChrisDeku put down your keyboard, it’s ok you don’t agree with me, i have asked on here more than 4 times to not overly get into polictal rants. You won’t change my mind and i won’t change yours. Let it go. Talk video games.

@Lanmanna for the record i do not think all 30K was doing illegal activity nor does this administration.However less government in some areas is needed as we have other methods to provided such services and the ones that were doing wrong will be held accountable. Money always leaves a trail. I have been an accountant for over 15 years.
