If it's 100GB, if memory serves me correctly dual layer Blu rays can only hold 50GB. So unless they offload 50GB to a download, it will indeed be 2 Blu rays.
There's more normies out there than people realize. People that literally buy a console for COD and sports games only. They could care less about a campaign, they care about playing with friends while they're partying.
@Porco People just shouldn't be answering questions or doing interviews without guidance/approval, they say things that get misconstrued for the sake of drama. I said nothing about rockstar specifically or keeping things secret, please stop jumping to conclusions like the people on the internet that caused this issue did in the first place.
This is why no one should be interviewing on anything, ever. Everything gets dissected, twisted, and blown out of proportion. All for the sake of views and clicks.
I just got the platinum this weekend and I have several other games demanding my attention, so much like God of War new game plus is on the backburner. Will definitely revisit later though!
@BAMozzy Yeah I'm with you on this one. Having a full team work 14 hours a day 7 days a week is counter-productive, and most likely not the case.
I get the feeling the spouse letter won't be a thing this time around, as I'm sure anyone attached to this project is willing to sacrifice their time and personal life to have RDR2 work on their resume.
I'd probably humor a standalone $20 Blackout purchase, but I haven't been interested in actual COD multiplayer action since MW2. The BO4 beta reminded me that I'm much more comfortable with a tactical shooter rather than dolphin diving and bunny hopping around with a shotgun or SMG.
@hotukdeals I was looking into that, but it looks like the hardware is still relatively weak to run games. I guess I'm waiting for technology to allow for a lag-free wireless transfer of data from either a console or computer, so you can have the horsepower without the wires. I'm thinking it will become a reality in the next VR hardware gen.
Most likely going to go for the platinum in Spiderman, only 3 trophies left. I'm not very good at the challenge missions though, I seem to have trouble with getting the swinging to cooperate in the drone missions. After that probably shadow of the tomb raider and dragon quest 11, might boot up the PS3 and do another runthrough of the parasite eve games for Halloween.
If this has even a quarter of the normal amount of jank that a typical bugthesda game has on release, it's going to bomb hard(no pun intended). It was tolerable with fallout 3 and Skyrim, but now it's beyond ridiculous.
@Onion like an actual modern rendition, or like what they've done in Mario Odyssey and the new Tomb Raider where you get a skin of the original character? Either way would be cool.
I really wanted to Platinum infamous SS, but for some reason when I completed the game as full hero it didn't count, which would mean two more playthrough to get it. Not really that interested.....
@Turniplord You seem to be under the impression that it would take a large amount of resources to provide emulation, when in reality it would take very little with their current architecture. The reason Xbox is doing poorly is because of a lack of decent developers, which Sony is currently not lacking at all.
As far as Nintendo goes, that's a non issue here because they made a huge technological jump from the Wii u to the Switch, but I'll humor you, since the Wii u did support their two past consoles, that yes, I would have to buy a new 3DS or Wii u if mine stopped working, but again, its not Nintendo we're talking about here.
You can call those of us "entitled" if you so choose by asking Sony to allow our games we bought with our hard earned money to be used on their next platform, but it's certainly not the resource diverting mountain you're making it out to be. Sorry I'd rather not have 4 systems hooked up to play all of MY games that are on a single account.
@Turniplord Not all of us have the room to house a lot of consoles in our entertainment setup. What happens if my PS4 stops working at some point? You think I should just be ok with paying for the privilege to play those games on a spotty streaming app in stead of popping a disc into my new system, or downloading one from my PS account? That's awfully selfish thinking to be honest.
@Porco I wouldn't count on PS3 emulation on PS5, it requires a lot of hardware horsepower for stable framerates, not to mention the fact that they already have a large portion of the PS3 library on PSNow.
There is absolutely no reason the PS5 shouldn't have BC at this point. They have a good architecture (though the CPU is a bit weak) that they can carry over to their next system with no problems at all. BC is the main reason I dropped on an Xbox, and if PS5 doesn't have it, it's going to be hard to justify an immediate purchase.
Every time I see the word masterclass used in a game review, I get that immediate flashback to Princess Bride's "I do not think that word means what you think it means"
This guy has trolled so many people that he can't even poop without a team of redditors analyzing it for possible clues on his next project, good lord.
Looks like they're straying even farther from the first game's zelda-like formula and going for something like DMC or old God of War games. Not sure I'm a big fan of that....
I'm already burned out after getting 3 characters to 540, and my friends are ok no-lifing it for another few months. Sorry guys, I've got other games I want to play. Dragon quest, octopath, and mega Man deserve my attention more than the grindfest.
This is what happens when people with too much money and not enough common sense tell publishers that this is ok. Honestly it's almost like a premium made for streamers so they have to pay extra to get those increased viewer counts.
Doesn't this game come out this month? Do we need trailers, let alone announcements of trailers at this point? Make a PowerPoint slideshow, put the creators of the first RDR, and all the GTA games, go buy this game
The second and third place companies in the current console gen race teamed up to make big bad Sony look bad, typical sore loser response. Don't be mistaken though, Sony would have done the same thing if they were in that position as well.
@suikoden Ah gotcha. I had seen on the steam forums a "special k" mod that was supposed to mimic HDR that was in the console versions, but the colors looked pretty good to me as is.
@suikoden I'm a bit confused as to what you're referring to when you say "it doesn't" and the Kotaku reference. I don't visit that site, I got this from the steam forums when I was looking up a separate issue I was having with the game.
@ShogunRok At least on PS4 there's HDR support, which didn't make it to the PC version for some reason. I wonder what it would take to get Square to create a music package DLC for the game. Obviously it can be done....
@ShogunRok I seem to remember one of your complaints from the review was the music. On PC, modders created a package that replaces all of the music in game with actual orchestrated versions, it makes a remendous difference. Definitely makes the game better! Worth taking a look/listen.....I just wonder why a team of 4 was able to do this but Square Enix couldn't....
Why is this an uproar or a surprise? They did this with DMC4 Special Edition and no one said anything about it, of course they put it in their latest DMC game.
My friends and I certainly didn't have any issues playing DMC4 or Shadow of War without them, boycott if you want, I'll be enjoying the game and not giving them any extra money.
@wiiware They sold costumes and skins in DMC4SE, I'm sure we'll get the same in DMC5.
I see some of the NL articles from last week are rubbing off here since we have staff members making false statements and then provoking the commentors to argue with them
I'll be playing some DQ11 and Spiderman, and begrudgingly going through the forsaken DLC on my other two guradians so my friends will shut the hell up!
Maybe it received a tempered response because we've gotten so many souls games and clones over the past few years. I looked at it, I like the souls games, but this did nothing for me to get me excited to dodge roll AND grapple at the same time. Too much of a good thing I guess.
One thing Sony definitely did correctly on this was using USB as a connector for the gamepads. Hopefully it will allow people to plug in their DS4s or DS3s. Much better than Nintendo's proprietary garbage connectors and cord lengths....
$99 is a tough pill to swallow when I could just hook up my PS3 and access all of my digital PS1 games from there. I'd rather pay a small fee to have them all transferred to my PS4 than have another device to hook up.
Bad release timing and too many people upset about the delayed release of the last game on PS4 to get any real sales or love from the PS crowd. That'll teach em to get in bed with MS again, right
This definitely has me intrigued after watching some gameplay. If they release a squad mode (if they haven't already talked about it) I have a feeling myself and a few friends will be getting this.
