@INeedGoodGraphics An epic trolling, no doubt.

Not gonna lie, i am fearing this one will flop and deny us the much requested Dino crisis reboot.

No, publishers should not do more of that. It sounds terrible! Your copy will be useless in the future.
That's exactly what we DON'T want.

Why are we even defending day one patches now?! The world has gone mad!

If you don't want spoilers, get off social media, degenerates.

I managed to avoid RE9 spoilers. It's not that hard. Stop clicking the things.

Oh... i like Todd.
I know it's a meme to hate on him cause of how long bethesda takes, but i like him. He stays modest despite the sucess and plays down the expectations.

Just cause of that, i am more willing to give Starfield a chance. Let's see what these improvements are.

That is indeed mad.

Releasing on xbox and not on playstation is mind blowing. It makes zero comercial sense.
Did Xbox really money hat for that? Sounds hard to believe.

It looks interesting. The question is if it gets boring and repetitive fast, like other open worlds.
The witcher 3 had story, characters and world to keep it interesting. Thia one seems to have the world part, but the combat seems better. So, progression systems will come into play in deciding how good this one will be.

Here comes another nintendo lawsuit.

Soul reaver 1 and 2 remastered was also leaked with some figurines.
I think this is confirmation tbh. Not that it wasn't likely already.
Question is when exactly is it releasing... pretty sure it was still another like 4 months until we had confirmation of soul reaver remastered. So, this can be summer or fall or they may choose to delay it even further for season 3 of the show.

I guess they are doing this to keep things more interesting for the team.
But, i fear they may be over spreading themselves.

What i like about Falcom is their output and focus on series i like. I liked Tokyo Xanadu and that changed a lot with Kyoto Xanadu. I fear that this may not be something to my liking and will just lead to a slog with the Trails and YS series.

My wallet might be happy though. 😂

Spiderman 2 and GoW ragnarok sold less than a million.
PC revenue was less than 1% invluding Gaas titles.

Nothing important is being left on the table.

Well... i don't think 2 weeks can make much of a difference in development.
They are cutting it awfully close.

Footage should already be available. It is indeed concerning.

On the other hand, these days people on the internet will nitpick everything and perfection is demanded. So, i can understand their reluctance. They are running out of time though. Much more of it and it will be a grief.

@Dogbreath I know what ypu mean. The fact it's not as easy to resell games has meant i just buy less games, but i still buy physical if i can.

Last i heard, game sales were down on the whole and not just physical.
Which ironically had nothing to do with the market but the economic and political situation.

This feels like trying to spin the numbers towards a narrative.

The only thing that played a part in selling the game were the ass shots.
After that it just needs to not be crap. 😅

We will find out soon enough.

The honest answer at this point is "we don't know". But, i do think it sounds promising.

My hope is that bend studio is continuing it.
Hopefully Drukmann hasn't blocked it.

Surely DF made a mistake. That isn't the PS5 model.

@Slippship Trying to play strong man won't detract from the fact it's unconfortable and no one wants it.

Sigh... i don't know what Sony is doing. Sounds like they undermined them from the start.
A shadow of the collosus glowup with the lost colossi would be a dream.

I am sure it will be nice.

I was also confused about what he meant with 32bit.

I kind of want new games though.

It will be coming to PS and switch, you can be sure of that. Literally the 2 biggest console markets. There is no skipping them.

VR has been dead (for gaming) for a long time.
This was a device to milk those still in denial.

We have once again established that a heavy unconfortable device on your head, that not everyone can use due to vision problems and motion sickness is not the best way to mass market gaming.

I wonder how many are still in denial of that reality.

I don't suppose you guys have DD wheels for reviewing? I'd much like to know how the force feedback is.

Sounds like i will enjoy it.
I don't like forced "survival horror" segments. The survival horror aspect is given by the presentation, sound and enemies.
I don't know at which point survival horror became synonimous with "you are helpless" or "here come some jump scares" but i will not adopt that description. That's not what the original games were about.

I can smell the despair to appeal to the fortnite crowd.
This is not aimed at fans of the single player games.
I wonder if it will manage though. If they release it on PC and free to play, it might work. I don't think they will though.

@Scottyy I am really tired of this false narrative that Xbox is needed for competition. It's not. That competition has only ended with worse deals for consumers, developers and publishers. Online subscription walls, micro transactions, games shipping incomplete, tech racing too far ahead and ever more costly, risky and long development cycles.

Nintendo is much better competition than Xbox ever was and will have a focus on game development rather than tech racing. That will be reinvigirating to the market and is exactly what it needs to battle the risk dead end we are reaching with insane lay offs. PS and XB raced too far ahead to an unsustainable market that now sees AI as the way forward.
By all means Xbox needs purging if it gets us out of this future. Nintendo competition is where it's at. They need to stop sending online communities to PC with their paywalls too. FFS it's such a short sighted greedy policy that is the kind of self destruction thing that Microsoft comes up with and others copy. So dumb...

Huh... curious.

I am only interested in their WRC games. Too soon for the next one. Hope the servers are backnup by the time of the show.

@themightyant Naah. Sony vs Nintendo is where it's at. Battle of the giants.
We don't need Xbox splashing about as fish out of water anymore. They should focus on 3rd party. It's where they can succeed.
If they go back to exclusives, they will sink the whole division.

Well... feral was probably justified. The decision to close bluepoint is one of the worst Sony has ever done and the fans want to be heard. If anything, Sony should be tankful to have such committed fans.
Marathon is the innocent bystander on this though.

Saying the right things, but probably just hot air. What is the point of pretending to pander to Xbox fans at this point? It's clear it's not enough for them. They will lose on a lot of money if they go back to exclusives. They just don’t have the user base.
I don't see what this changes from what they had before. They were finally on the right path. They make a great 3rd party developer with the IP's they have. There is no point in keeping on the hardware market. Actually, if they exit, Sony and Nintendo might be more receptable to having their services on their platforms.

Also, last i heard microsoft's AI push has backfired spectacularly. Are we failing all the way down?

They should buy it then.

Absolutely terrible management. Can we fire the exec responsible for this decision instead?

@Ravix Why do you feel being disonest will land more sales? At least on the long term, it doesn't.
What he did will prevent backlash from overblown expectations.

@carlos82 Pretty much what i expected. Thanks for clarifying.

Not sure why people are comparing it to no man's sky. They look like completely different games.
I got no man's and it's just a huge sandbox to play on. Also, let's be honest, the UI and controls are a bit of a mess.
I expect starfield to be more like a fallout game. Story driven and the sandbox is the background where you find more quests.

I would be surprised if it's doing the same as no man's sky.

I am interested, but not at full price.

What? Of course it will be on ps5. What a silly thing to say.
It was always going to be a cross gen project. By, years, it won't be more than 2 or 3.
No third party is gonna launch an exclusive game of this size on ps6 year one. Not enough of an install base. This thing needs to sell 10 million copies at least.
100% it will be on PS5. No doubt whatsoever.

Because game development cycles have become at least 4 years for AAA titles. We are getting more value per console the longer it lasts, what's there not to be happy about getting more games?
For a site that keeps shoving ps5 pro on our faces, aren't you happy with it? I don't get the rush. This is good for consumers and publishers.

Joke's on them. I don't pay for PS+.

@PuppetMaster both. depends on track. Mostly different though. It's kind of like the Sonic 3 situation.

@nomither6 PC is only the future if consoles keep insisting on the dumb online play paywall and sending players over.

Why not ask Nintendo to bring Mario as well at this point?

The issue is they changed the soundtrack.

Well... i understand where he is coming from.
I don't have an explosive reaction about it, i just have no interest in it.

It's not doing it for me, but i'm happy to see the series back.

Many cheers even though they conned me by releasing the ps2 version on PSN first. 😅

Has the latest patch that increases console performance as well dropped yet?
I don't know if i am going to jump into this expansion. They did a terrible job with Wilds on a technical level. I stepped away cause of it. It's really unforgivable, not only the low fps but the terrible texture presentation.
I found an hilarious example on the the first camp when looking at a tanning wrack that has a high resolution texture on one hide and the other is a mess of pixels. It's hilarious and sad at the same time.

I was already in, i played the demo and saw the changes to combat, which seem positive.
The only issue i had was that the game was feeling very corridor-y. I did stop after the first boss cause of time. I am hopeful it opens up later. I will have to go back to it.
But, i got so much to play atm that i don't mind leaving it for later.

It sounds too good to be true. The skeptic in me is waiting and seeing.
This year is so stacked for me already. I have to be certain before i invest on it.
A demo would be great.

The ps5 is a huge success in europe.
If the next gen really is delayed this can come to rival the ps2.

I don't have strong feelings about it.
Neither game appealed to me.
If they ever get sales on the 10 to 15 euro on the coming years, i might give them a try.

1.3Gigs just for receits?! 😑
