I thought some of the AI faces looked pretty good but some look like AI boomer memes you see on Facebook every now and then. There's a sameness to AI generated stuff that's an immediate tell for me, looks like weirdly lit plastic most of the time. I don't take too much issue with this tech though, it's a pretty good idea, I just don't like how it looks lol
The first half of LiS: Double Exposure was pretty fun imo but then it rapidly lost the plot and became horrible. I absolutely hate that Chloe is back, but I'll probably pick it up once it hits $20.
Late but: basically marathoned Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, just wrapping up post-game stuff now. I've been going through the Fatal Frame 2 remake slowly since I only play it when it's dark outside lol.
I get where they're coming from but this is not the way. I don't think I've ever had a game spoiled for me before it actually came out, but it's happened loads of times on release day (the new RE being the most recent example). I think the best solution is themightyant's above me: a day 1 disc that has to be updated/has a code to prevent leaks, and then a regular complete version post launch without this update/code. I think this is the most elegant solution.
I'm interested but I'll wait for reviews, not just for the game itself but also for base PS5 performance. This release schedule is kind of strange though.
I can understand not wanting to have the cost of 2 discs, but I absolutely won't buy a weird half digital thing on day 1. I guess I'll either grab it on sale or borrow it from someone.
I don't necessarily hate the idea of having a no enemy mode or whatever, but I feel like it's a lot of extra work for very minimal returns. How many people would buy a horror game only because it had a no enemy mode?

Re: PS5 Game Expiry DRM Potentially Explained, Sony Still Yet to Comment
I wonder why Sony just...refuses to say/confirm anything? The DRM is one thing, but the total silence regarding it is just really bizarre.
Re: 'You Never Know': Take-Two Boss Offers a Glimmer of Hope for LA Noire 2
I would cry if we got a sequel, this is one of my favourite games of all time. I'm still upset over Whore of the Orient getting cancelled.

I like 4 but it still looks good on PS4 so...

Re: Mini Review: 1348 Ex Voto (PS5) - An Intriguing But Disappointing PS5 Console Exclusive
I was looking forward to this one, I love medieval stuff. I don't even know if I'd try it on Plus now.

Re: Crimson Desert Looks 'Rough' on Base PS5, Here's 25 Minutes of Direct Capture Footage
I can't tell if my internet is making the video have horrific, fuzzy resolution or if that's what it actually looks like.
Re: PS5's Coolest Collection of Controllers and Console Covers Are Out Now
These are kind of ugly but I still like them, they have a tacky charm. You can pry my Genshin controller out of my cold, dead hands though.
Re: 'What the F*ck Are We Doing Here?': PS5 Fans Slam Square Enix for Sloppy Multiformat Strategy
SE is making a lot of strange decisions lately, multiplatform stuff aside. Kinda seems like they're scrambling.
