Planet Coaster is alright, but I'm not going play that on a console.

This game looks like it has twice the detail compared to the first one. Kinda surprised it's running on a PS4 at all.

Out of all the stupid things Sony does, this surely has to be at the bottom of it, no?

As long as three Tallnecks.

@Alduin That kind of mentality will eventually lead to cheaper (i.e. less qualitive) games. If people refuse to buy games full price because of some sub that offers it to you for a dime, then don't expect large AAA games to be the norm in the future. That mindset will favour quantity over quality. You get what you pay for.

@itsfoz Who knows if they compressed the game at all. Maybe it's similar to the PS4 version. Maybe there's a bunch of unused data in the files they didn't bother to clean up.

Generally, file size doesn't tell you anything. Sekiro was only 12GB. Most devs aim for sub-50, so it fits on a disc, if that doesn't work they'll keep it below 100GB. It probably could've been smaller if they wanted.

Tilda is a reference to Tilda Swinton, isn't she? The resemblance is uncanny.

Hear me out.

Killzone: Resistance

Profit.

@KidBoruto In the books Hogwarts sounds like a great playground with many secrets and hidden areas. None of the previous games have really captured that feeling IMO.

I don't care when it's coming, it just needs to be good. If it needs another two years in the oven, I hope they do what they need to do.

@NEStalgia This is Christopher Judge, you're halfway there.

Very funny lol

Alright games. 7/10s. Novel idea, but there was little variety in gameplay. Especially when the second one rolled around it was just more of the same.

@Ralizah I fear that Sony may feel forced to attempt to buy SE or Capcom or whatever, and then we're even worse off.

@Ralizah Which is kinda silly, because all Nintendo does is prevent other platforms from enjoying their content (not saying I disagree), but it's been long touted that the ''best'' approach is to allow as many people to enjoy your games as possible. Though you never hear anyone asking for Mario on PC, so maybe it already works for them.

People saying 2 is the best should play it again.

That isn't good news. Either way I wouldn't have minded if they delayed it another year or two. The stakes are too high. People have high expectations for a HP game, myself included. It needs to be good. It can't be a half-arsed game, so hopefully they take (and get) all the time they need.

@MatthewJP Trueee, but 90% of the world's population lives above the equator, so when it's winter in the north, it's winter for most people.

@Integrity A video game wouldn't use stolen assets.

And the point of owning an NFT isn't so much about the JPEG that's attached to it, but it's more about the unique blockchain data unit behind it. It's that unique data string you can sell. It's crypto currency, except that every unit has its own fluctuating value, much like art, hence why JPEGs are often attached to NFTs.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't buy it, nor do I see the point of NFTs in gaming, but if Activision wants to sell you an NFT with a one of a kind skin attached to it, I don't see the difference with regular MTX.

Honestly, are NFTs in video games any different from regular MTX?

Apart from the fact that owning an MTX doesn't turn you into a pretentious wannabe millionaire.

The Horizon set is a Tallneck set coming in May for $80; around 1200 pieces. The Tallneck leak is from a site that leaks pretty much every LEGO set, so that info is very accurate.

@eltomo PS5 seems like such a small upgrade, but whenever I boot up my PS4, it just feels archaic. The DS4 feels to the DualSense what a controller without rumble would feel to the DS4, like there is missing something. I don't miss the load times either! I'm glad I managed to get one day one.

@BoldAndBrash @Haruki_NLI Don't worry, soon they'll abbreviate it to PUBGBG before adding ':Battlegrounds' to it.

@get2sammyb What do you know what we don't know? GOW for PS+ in Febuary?

@render I doubt it's the full pitch, it was just one paragraph in a long interview.

@get2sammyb Then stop reporting on it

The more attention these stories get, the more you give off the signal that people want to know more. And if that's true, websites are going to ask them for more interviews/questions.

Depends on the game.

@Voltan It's always them Russian hackers.

@nessisonett LMAO, exactly, I'm just here to blow up robot dinosaurs. They couldn't spoil the game for me even if they tried.

And I do they've fixed those audio logs, because that was a terrible idea.

I also thought Firesprite was from Japan, based on their logo, I guess not, lol.

@JAMes-BroWWWn Yeah, I wonder who's been asking for this. I know some will love it, but it's not a large audience I suspect.

Cross-gen. Does that mean PS5/PS6?

Bubsy VR, calling it right now.

David Jaffe acts like one of those annoying 12-year-olds during a match of Fortnite.

I think I downloaded 3 PS+ games throughout the year, didn't play any of them though.

@Uncharted2007 Really depends on the subreddit. I generally find it to be a welcoming place, especially the smaller subs.

@Saitama117 Don't even bother lol...

I actually enjoyed it more than Ghost. Both were good, but I'm not really into open world games, but the taking out those hordes was more exciting than those duels in Ghost. I just ran circles around the enemy lol.

@Royalblues It's more a PlayStation site then a Sony site. Sony releases phones, TVs, they have a whole movie distribution studio, and none of that gets reported on here. But they will probably prove me wrong and post an article about the car lol.

@gaston I'm not even sure if I even want an open world VR game to be honest..!

@nessisonett There's also the fact that I don't think you'll be playing using the DualSense. Those cameras on the headset track those new controllers, the button layout is very different, and there isn't even a swipe pad on it. Games like Astro Bot not only use all those buttons, they also use the actual DualShock 4 in-game. The swipe pad is also like THE button to use in Astro Bot.

@nessisonett True, but those are relative simple translations. Just simple button inputs. This is a little more complicated. Sucks, but is what it is.

Hopefully there's some way to unlock the ports if you already own them. But this is doubtful.

@AFCC Well, it was probably this or having the same old setup with a bunch of additional cables, the camera, being tied to the DualSense instead of the new controllers, etc.

@Barryburton97 I wonder if they would use the cast of the TV series in the remake. I doubt it. But it would make it a little more worthwhile. Also, if the story slightly deviates from the game, and follows the TV series. Like an alternate spin-off version or something. At least then it's not 100% the same game.

@Kingsleyx I wouldn't be able to handle clickers in VR, so no thank you haha!

Just wondering, could be a TLOU remake + TLOU2 Director's cut bundle for a regular price? That would make me a little more interested. Not sure I need 'just' a remake of the first one for full price.

@BritneyfR_ee Oh come on! TLOU has always been a series with high stakes. Remember the opening episode with Sarah? Or Tess, just when we got to know her? Henry and Sam?

They went out of their way to do something different instead of another Joel & Ellie adventure, and I appreciate that. The first game was about Joel & Ellie establishing a friendship, that was accomplished, there was little character development left between the two, and we still got plenty of them during the flashbacks.

8 million sales, and they still had to Bend over for Jim's iron fist.

@nessisonett Expectations. If I pay €25+ for a burger, I expect it's a complete meal with fries and a salad. Them chucking money at it means I expect a meaty game with all the bells and whistles you expect in a complete experience.

@Texan_Survivor ''photorealistic graphics'' means nothing. A game can have any kind of art style and be good.

And I'm not defending Pokemon here lol. Just games in general.
