@RadioHedgeFund I get what you mean. I guess that's all it can be, bigger map, better looking, more variety, different story, more engaging, overall better quality and improvement in the already massively successful formula, bit like other games (GT, COD, Fifia etc)
It kinda looked great and boring at the same time in a strange way for me.
The level of detail was very nice, lighting looked great etc, but the game itself appeared boring. I understand it's huge and can't judge it entirely from 30 minutes though. Perhaps they could have done a better job building the excitement, felt a bit anticlimactic if I'm honest..
Also, both leads seem dead boring too, barely any character, same goes for the NPCs.
@Balaam_ I mean, you'll pay around £70 or whatever, to play for the next 10 years or more, at the least, and perhaps even longer with some expected remasters along the way.
After all that time, surely one could move on with life and play something else? Perhaps a minority will want to hold on.
I couldn't care less, but each to their own I guess. Perhaps they'll release a physical copy for you, I hope.
@helloim_anthony One thing to note, it's more the hardcore gamers on sites like this that often, not always, express a similar view to each other. Millions of gamers are made up of casual people and from all sorts of backgrounds, that probably don't care, and are the majority purchasing digital.
Personally, I'm really not bothered as I went digital a while ago... That being said, it's sad to see those who prefer physical copies will eventually loose the ability to collect their games that way.
@Gunga Same, I also don't see what the fuss is about. I very much doubt there won't be OTHER shops available to the players. I see these things in the premium as an addition.
If they can arrange these to be bought like a mobile phone contract and pay monthly, it may make it a lot easier for folks to purchase one.. After all, millions buy mobiles every 2 years or so which cost near £1,500 these days anyway.
@Dogbreath I don't believe commitment was the issue for MS as much as making poor and bizzare decisions after the 360 onwards.
I too have sold my Xbox, despite believing the series x console itself was superior. I'm not investing in a company that's lost has has no clue in it's direction.
It's sad to see to be honest. PlayStation is the safer bet for the future, at least until MS figure out what they want
@Mincey0 I understand what you're trying to say, but you may have misunderstood my view.
I'm not comparing quality of a decades old game to recent. I'm stating my preference, that I personally have no desire to play a 20, 30+ year old games.
Some people enjoy revisiting the same game repeatedly, I, do not. Remaster may or may not happen, it doesn't remove the fact that I've played the game, and have moved on the the many next new games.
In terms of the whole 'preservation' point. Again, I personally have no desire to preserve a 'video game' of all things in life. I value other things, as do some people in here.
In summary, game preservation, the desire to play old dated games, is entirely a personal preference, and I dislike when comments suggest it's some righteous goal in life that everyone must uphold.
@Onelastgo News flash, we don't all care about the same things... If I die soon, the game will still be available for that someone else to enjoy. If I die in 40 years, I doubt that someone else would want to play a 40 year old game, just the way I'm not playing Atari or older console games.
Point is, if that's your thing, more power to you, but let not pretend we all care. There are more important things I care about preserving in life than a damn video game, dude. It's really not that deep. Well, not for me at least.
Couldn't give a damn about the disc. Just like I didn't give a dman about a disc version of GTA5. I played. I enjoyed. I moved on. And it shall be the same for GTA6.
We all love games, but these people really need to calm down and evaluate their priorities in life, that hopefully includes things other than a gaming console.
As someone already pointed out, pushsquare.com really adds fuel and behaves rather childish at times
I just find it odd to take these very seriously. Usually I wait for an update the next day. See what's announced and simple look further into whatever may interest me.
To compare announcements and presentation pacing etc with each other, though I get some can be more 'exciting' than others in terms of what's announced, is stills strange to me.
The gore, and violence is a major part of the appeal for me personally, especially in a wolverine game, but I'm glad they've included and accessibility feature to dial it down for those who prefer that.. Win win.
PS5 perception sinks to an all time low? Really? I honestly find it bizzare. As much as I like gaming, people need to calm down and stop taking a gaming console so seriously in their lives.
@Foxhound The amount of people who also can't grasp that some people simply don't care is also embarrassing.. Personally I couldn't give a toss about it. I'll play it, and in 15 years I'd have moved on with good memories and will be playing something else.
Not everyone is hellbent on preserving a damn video game. Some people value other things in life when it comes to preservation.
Each to their own. If you want to fight for preserving a game for the rest of your life, more power to you. But no need to project that on everyone mate.
Absolutely loved uncharted 4, as much as the previous entries. Hope to see it return in future, sticking to it's roots and not going woke. Male lead, straight up action adventure with great set pieces and cinematics.
I have so many amazing memories of this on the 360. Spent countless hours with friends. Good times. Life now is just too busy to get into the new one :'(
@Retron I wouldn't bet on it. Just cause those guys have an unlimited budget and a high expectation to deliver.
GTA5 to this day is amongst the best selling game over 10 years on, it'll keep funding the project, and they're in no real rush to get it out. But we'll have to wait and see.
It's nice to be excited for a new game, to want it day one, but, I'm comfortably in the camp of those who don't mind waiting for large complex games to get patched up, especially seeing as patch work post release has become a common approach.
I don't need to moan. I can just wait several months, get on with life, and dive in when it's fully patched and improved upon. Simple really.
@Fillem I hope we can just get over this whole 'near perfect games release' expectation, not because I think it's wrong or an unreasonable position to hold, just because it's gets boring reading the same thing over and over, for me at least.
We're in a time where this has been happening for a while, and will absolutely continue to happen, with some cases being worse than others. What's good is the devs who actively listen to feedback and continue to improve, rather than release and forget it.
Crying or getting upset over it serves no one. People can choose to answer with their wallets, which may be the best form of protest for those who care about it. Otherwise, I feel it's better to just get over and accept. If you like it, buy it, if not move along with life.
Absolutely love Uncharted series, it should never have ended. I hope Drake returns, or any other male lead with a fresh story but keeping the core gameplay/theme. Just hope it's not a female protagonist, or it's a no buy for me.
Blame Israel and America for causing chaos around the globe, for decades now really. The average you and I must pay the price for western Epstein regime class of fools running the world
Seems like the author is projecting. Lack of trophies is not an issue for most, anecdotally speaking. Just play the damn game, and stop obsessing about it.. But, yes, like all things, it's a subjective matter, even then, very petty 'frustration' in the grand scheme of gaming

Re: 'Can't Wait to Show You': Intergalactic PS5 Wraps MoCap Days Before State of Play
Not sure what this means in a games development life in terms of any indication on when the release could be.
Does anyone know, now that this stage is complete, how long the next stages typically take before release date?
In my head, I see this as a 2028 title, unless everything is done perfectly?
Hard to get excited for this. Seems like a lot riding on this as well.

Re: With Digital Game Sales at 90%, Capcom Appears Unfazed By Sony's Disc-Free Future
@themightyant Fair enough
Re: With Digital Game Sales at 90%, Capcom Appears Unfazed By Sony's Disc-Free Future
Personally I don't care. Been digital for a while now. An nope, I don't care about collecting, or revisiting older games.
I do understand the disappointment of the more hardcore gamers who like to collect and revisit older games though.
But, as the stats show, they're a minority.

Re: Lifelong Bethesda Fan Finally Answers: Does Starfield Actually Suck?
Don't understand what being a Bethesda fan has to do with liking a game they make or not, surely we just judge the actual game?

I can admit it's a great game, but not for me.
Can't see how being a CDProjekt fan or not would change my judgment.
