@KundaliniRising333 aaahh digital foundry I see. Well I'll find out for myself tomorrow. From what I've seen of all the vids for the ps5/ps5 pro it looks very nice fidelity wise. Shouldn't be an issue for you as your PC will be significantly better I'd guess.
@DennisReynolds indeed its a breath of fresh air. Don't get me wrong I like a challenge but some games just take it to another level I can't enjoy. I can't wait.
I relish whatever challenge its going to throw at me tomorrow. It sounds like it's an accessible game for people of all skill levels which isn't a bad thing in my book.
@A-steak-with-ketchup I don't drive so my sim rig allows me to drive rally cars around without killing myself or anybody else. Plus it's the most fun I've ever had on a console. GT7 and the PSVR2..who needs real cars when I can drive almost a 1000 of them in VR. You don't know what you are missing out on.
@redd214 you can't really compare the two. GT7 is a simcade and a lot more forgiving than PMR which is a lot more sim and very difficult. I bought PMR a little after launch and it was a mess but its massively improved and is very good at what it does. I agree that @Mittsu should go with GT7 as it is much more accessible for casuals.
@psmr mainly because everytime a game like this has been released in the past they have always been labeled as souls likes..to the people who've played an awful lot of souls likes its easy for us to tell the difference whereas newcomers to the genre have only review sites to help them discern the differences.
@DennisReynolds I enjoyed the hell out of black myth but I didn't click with wuchang but I may give it another play. I've just pre ordered this and I'm itching for Thursday to arrive. Can I finish dragons dogma 2 before this drops on me?
@Balaam_ well I got news for you. There's no way this game is going to fit on a bluray disc so you hold on for your code on a disc which you won't own either.
@ShadowRJ I'm more shocked that pushsquare appear to be rather apathetic about this. They should be totally against it. Why they are even giving it any kind of credence is beyond me but I guess it generates clicks.
Oh no Sony don't want you playing pirated games..I mean seriously why is this even surprising. I don't give two squirts of vimto what people do with their consoles but let's not start showing sympathy to pirates as that's what's damaging the business more than the loss of physical media.
@Fiendish-Beaver "As for the supposed blackout, I would be astounded if many actively participated in it." I don't think half the people who proclaimed they were going to partake in the blackout actually did. It was the perfect opportunity for a hell of a lot of people to have their 15 mins and shout their discontent the loudest. I loved every minute of the hypocrisy on display.
@Faucet "This 40 something is going to start traveling." Hats off to you for doing something you want to do. I'm about to turn 54 (next Friday) and my wife and myself don't have long left on the mortgage so as soon as that's sorted we plan on working as little as possible and living out days enjoying ourselves. I hope it works out for you.
Reading this article I had to ask myself if I consider myself to be an "enthusiast" gamer..looking at my sim rig,tv,PSVR2,PS5 Pro and the new steelseries arctis nova pro's I would have to say yes I am. Will I buy a PS6? In all honesty I probably will. I don't think Sony are doing as badly as they have in the past and the latest attempt at a boycott was pure comedy genius. I'm enjoying gaming more than ever and I'll continue to do so ..I mean somebody's gotta carry the torch for @Titntin when he can no longer remember where he is 🤣
@GirlVersusGame "And the things he can do with a chair." Yeah it's not my idea of a fun night in. I think my favourite audioslave song is I am the Highway. I often jam along to audioslave and rage against the machine with my bass guitar. Timmy c is so underrated as a bassist.
@GirlVersusGame "it's my favorite Bond movie and has the best song too." For me the best bond song was the late great Chris Cornells theme for casino Royal...the Daniel Craig version not David nivens 🤣
I have a pair of Sony ear buds paired to my phone which has pretty much all my fave albums in FLAC and they sound flawless to my ears..I don't need anything else.
I'm still thinking Electronic Arse bought criterion and codemasters as a way of shutting down the games that rivaled their NFS series. They will never release another burnout game and what's left of codemasters and criterion teams are working on the next NFS and F1 entry's.. I'm loving galactic racer a lot and I'm really hoping that a VR mode becomes a reality.
@nomither6 I don't think I've ever played a CoD game that plays like the BF series. If anything the last few BF entry's have tried to play a bit more like CoD. I'm aware we are going to disagree on this but having different opinions is what makes for interesting discussions. I'm waiting to see how the multiplayer pans out on this as I've not played a CoD entry since the last MW2 which was about 4 or 5 years ago? Warzone is the mode I'm most interested in and DMZ.
It's the start of my week off so I'm playing castlevania belmonts curse which is exceptionally good and more galactic racer with the lads no doubt. F1 tomorrow and probably some rallying. Phantom blade zero this week and I'm itching to play that. Have a great weekend folks 👍
@CielloArc fight against their community? They are one of the best devs out there that actually listen to their player base. There's not many studios that support their game or player base more than arrowhead.
@NieR_Dark khazan is a superb game. I was very near the end when my puppy bozzer ate my disc..its been well documented..I have yet to replace it. I'll probably buy phantom blade next week seeing as it's my birthday.. a prezzie from me to me..

Re: How Difficult Is Phantom Blade Zero?
@KundaliniRising333 yeah I had an update earlier. I'll give the game a good playing tomorrow.

@ShogunRok can you confirm about @KundaliniRising333 's comments on whether or not the base ps5 is muddy etc,etc,etc?

Re: PS5's Most Addictive Game Since Balatro Is Right Around the Corner
I personally found balatro to be quite over rated. Ball x pit was addictive..balatro I found to be frustrating.

@Rocky1972 yeah it's pretty ropey to be honest.

@GirlVersusGame I didn't even think about using the wheel. To be honest the game isn't that great.

Re: Sim Racer Project Motor Racing Is Free to Play All This Week on PS5, No PS Plus Required
@Dogbreath yes it does have a career mode.
Re: Sim Racer Project Motor Racing Is Free to Play All This Week on PS5, No PS Plus Required
@GirlVersusGame it's made by the devs that used to be slightly mad studios who made the project cars games and two need for speed entry's.

Re: Phantom Blade Zero (PS5) - One of the Generation's Greatest Action Experiences
@StarZinger I think there are different outfits and armour sets from what I can see from some of the vids.
Re: Phantom Blade Zero (PS5) - One of the Generation's Greatest Action Experiences
@DennisReynolds it's around that size. I didn't look as my pro has loads of space. Looks flipping awesome.

Re: Star Wars: Galactic Racer Is the Blueprint for a New Burnout, and I Need It to Happen
