Either way, those character designs are neither surprising for a ubisoft slop title and they look rough.

2 years of polish might help a little, but it will still be bad.

That's kind of my point. IF they ever get them running locally via emulation.

I have my doubts they ever will because the money just isn't being pumped into getting it done.

Yes, please, add PS3 emulation so you can sell me games I already own through a predatory subscription model. /s

This is why I will forever hold on to my PS3 until it dies.

.....and yet, we still don't get the actual sales numbers. The silence from Sony on this is suspicious, at best.

So can we really say the boycott failed? No
Can we also say it's a massive success? Also No.

I think it most likely sold "fine". Not really exceeding expectations.

Not even included in my PS+ will I play this. The narrative just isn't for me. The first game can exist in it's own little bubble.

I'm more excited for this than any other game right now as crazy as that sounds.

What a time to be alive where I used to be the biggest PS fanboy and right now I just don't give a damn about Wolverine or Yotei.

So what about all the characters they showed in previous trailers and previews? Does this mean they will be added over time?

For a game made with all the previous game's assets....It better be cheap.

Another "Who Cares?" Sort of update for me. The PS5 is already pretty decently power efficient and it's not like I own multiple PS5's for controller pairing.

Seriously, who are these features for?

I want actually useful things like:

• Sharing videos saves the chat audio into a separate channel so it can be removed later if wanted. This way I don't have to keep turning it on and off.
• Streaming shares Discord Chat.

That's not surprising, all the original devs are long gone. Have you seen the Team Photos over the years?

Man I miss PixelJunk Shooter. Would love a re-release of that since it was a PS3 game. Can't play it on my PS5 without paying for a subscription and then having streaming latency.

@AgentMantis Which is exactly why as a Hoyo game player, I am advising them to just recast them all if they refuse to work. Especially Corina as Paimon. She's annoying, and acted like a damn child during the strike.

Ironically, she's a scab herself. Shilling for SAG while also being Fi-Core.

Unions can be a force for good.

SAG is not one of them.

This comment was not inappropriate. No curses.

I won't even consider this game after TLOUII's glorious disaster of a plot and the trailer.

The icing on the cake is the actress for the game behaving like an entitled brat.You earn your success, and instead these developers think calling their consumers "bigots" is a successful business strategy.

Funny how this article implies TLOUII's Story is "genius". You can't polish a turd, but you sure can amplify how bad it stinks.

It was touted as having improved RT and yet Devs aren't utilizing it.

It's still the same stuff, 4K 30fps or 1440p at 60fps.
If you want RT, you're stuck with the quality mode with 30fps in most games. There are nice exceptions like first party games like Ratchet and Clank.

RT makes a much bigger difference in fidelity than resolution does. I'd pick 60FPS with RT over 4K every time regardless of what res the game ran at.

Here's a thought. You can turn it off.

Better yet, playstation has parental control features that turn it off automatically.

Just when I thought they couldn't out anti-consumer Sony, Nintendo comes in like....

Pointless when the Ubisoft refuses to talk sales figures.
What little public information shows us that Sales in Japan are not impressive.

@DonkeyFantasy Hoyo is based in China where using AI voices of real people in entertainment is already illegal. So this strike is pointless.

It's about Money, not AI.

The community is starting to turn against the SAG-AFTRA Union. What started as AI Protections has turned into a nightmare of mafia-like behavior.

TLDR: If Hoyo signs the agreement, the non-union VA's must either join the union or be recast after a certain amount of time. Many of them are outside the US and can't join the union, anyway.

@HotGoomba It's quite simple, really. After Far Cry 6 and Division 2 were massive disappointments for me, I have my expectations set for any upcoming Ubisoft title.

Big, boring open worlds. Hooray.

Remember when they marketed it as having 60FPS "quality modes" and not having to sacrifice RT as much?

Well that was a load of crap. Still need to limit your experience to 30fps for those sweet rays. 30FPS on an OLED is hard to tolerate.

I wouldn't be surprised if Peter Parker's role in SM3 was to kill him off. SM2 was such a massive disappointment for me story wise.

Still basically does nothing I care about. My most requested feature is still that the built in video/audio encoder save game and chat audio as two separate channels. The WebM format the PS5 uses supports this.

Sony Plz.

The first Horizon Game was good, great even.

The second game however, did not hit with me. Story was kind of all over the place and every quest, I sh-t you not, every damn quest is a fetch quest.

The first art they released was objectively terrible. Second was redemption.

It's that plain and simple. It wasn't unfairly criticized, it was just criticized.

Dropped it after Tencent bought it's way into it. Sorry.

Wuwa was a fine game, maybe a little clunky.

Troy Baker is a narcissistic loser anyway. Has no passion for games, just himself.

Hard Pass on Concord 2.

@themightyant Tencent will barge in and make everything worse. Just wait for it.

Welp, might be time to drop this game. I want nothing to do with Tencent.

I've been calling the Game Awards a sham from the beginning. It always was a show for narcissists to circle-jerk.

@DonJorginho I suck at these types of games. I'm resisting the urge to lower the difficulty. Having a blast getting my ass handed to me.

Pre-covid: Working in the office is normal and expected.
Post-covid: "HOW DARE YOU RETURN TO HOW IT ORIGINALLY WAS! I AM ENTITLED TO WORK FROM HOME!"

My work has taken the hybrid approach, depending on your productivity and work ethic, you "earn" the privilege to work from home. If you screw up, it's taken away. I get to work from home 4 out of the 5 days of the week and I can choose to go in as needed.

WFH is a privilege, not a right. If you are actually disabled to the point where you can't physically go to the office, then you need to tell your employer you're looking elsewhere.

A stripped rewards program for both PS Stars and Credit holders, lack of great first party exclusives, and a live service push that failed spectacularly.

Yeah, I'm gonna disagree with that one, Sony.

That was $200 Million of our dollars well spent, Sony. Good Job.

Maybe by refunding everyone you'll still qualify for that Tax Write-off?

So this is basically useless now. It'll be impossible to accrue the amount needed for a full game by the time they expire.

So the only use case I see for points now is digital currencies in games. Like Gacha games and Destiny 2 Silver.

We've reached new levels of insanity.

disappointed. The biggest criticism from the first game was the missions involving being "on rails" as side characters like MJ, etc.

What did Spider-Man 2 do in light of that critique?

DOUBLED DOWN.

CD Project Red tried to get Rebecca removed from EdgeRunners because she's an L-word so it seems odd that's the one they choose for the figure.

Oh, wait...they hate her so this makes sense.

Studio Trigger basically saved the Cyberbunk Franchise.

I get the feeling this game will fall victim to more localizer drama.

30 hours is practically nothing in the gaming world. I'll take it at least because it's a start

Playstation's US Division is insane. A certain post apocalypse game not only shows full top nudity, but sex.

Anything Japanese is subject to censorship. Why?

So Days Gone Remaster was false, which I honestly would have paid the $10 for because I would legitimately go back and do a new game plus for it.

Horizon though..... Nah. I just don't see the replay value there. It was so boring, better than forbidden west by a long shot but it was still a bit of a slog with all the busy work to clear the map.

The director of communications or whatever was fawning over this game.

It's just another copy/paste Lego game with Playstation IP shoved into it.

Let the kids play, what is there for us adults?
