Ah that would definitely explain some things. I also had no idea how bad Raytracing hurt the performance until I watched the digital foundry video. Simply switching RT off and bringing the FOV down to 90 gives my a consistent 60fps at 4K with HDR
I decided to give Cold War a second chance when Firebase Z dropped and I’m actually really enjoying it so far. Played with some settings to fix the unreliable frame rate on PS5 and it’s made it a much more enjoyable experience.
Firebase Z has actually proven to be my favorite zombies map yet. Multiplayer still isn’t as enjoyable as Modern Warfare 2019 was, but it’s not as terrible as I initially thought.
I would say to the people wanting to make E3 happen please make sure you can confirm there will be some heavy hitters shown off that make it worth the hype and attention.
Even before COVID ended it in 2020 the last few E3s were just really uninteresting because there was nothing spectacular being shown.
I’d actually say this is one of the better MMOs to play if you want to play casually. New players just be warned some of the MSQ is very much a slog.
Also tip of the cap to Yoshi and his team. Blizzcon is coming in a few weeks and WoW: Classic TBC is going to be announced, probably for May. Releasing XIVs expansion and PS5 upgrade a month before that really was a 4D chess move.
Modern Warfare 2019 was my first CoD in 8 years and I loved it; Cold War has been a pretty big disappointment however and has renewed my skepticism in the franchise.
I think it was confirmed Battlefield is coming this year so at least we’ll have some options to choose from (in addition to Halo on PC).
Not surprised by Diablo, but I am surprised about Overwatch. I’m looking forward to both so I was hoping to see at Blizzcon this month that at least one was on it’s way this year.
WoW: Classic will surely be having a resurgence soon with TBC reportedly coming in May. It’s a shame Shadowlands looks like more of the same.
Wow this legit just saved me $10. Was gonna buy the Resident Evil 2/3 bundle for $30 tonight but I’ll just wait to get 3 tomorrow for $20 instead. I’ve beaten 2 many times so I didn’t want to re-buy it.
Edit: so for the US this is where the sale link takes you. It shows all the games but not the sale prices.
This sounds weird but I really hope they give us the option to keep the standard Shepherds face and just give him/her different hair. Always wanted that
So far I’ve beaten Demon’s Souls (got the platinum), Black Ops campaign and plenty of multiplayer, Until Dawn (platinum), Astro’s Playroom (platinum), put about 40 hours into Cyberpunk, another 40 into FFXIV, and I’m about 10 into God of War.
I’m actually at the point of wanting to jump back on my PC to switch it up from single player games for a little bit. I figured this would happen around this time anyways.
Found this half hour visual showcase more intriguing than a lot of full releases nowadays haha. RE: 7 is my 4th favorite in the series so here’s hoping they fix some of the issues I had with it 🤞
Would love a remake that stays faithful. I replayed that game last year and it’s still one of my all-time favorites. It would hugely benefit from the control schemes of the recent remakes 😎👌
Lol just another validation of why Xbox has been at the bottom of my interest list for years now. It’s effectively become PS > PC > Switch > Xbox for the past couple years.
Got a X1X to play RDR2, RE: 2, and replay the Witcher 3 and it basically served as a 4K blu ray player until I got my PS5
If Don’t Look Up releases late enough in 2021 and Chaos Walking gets pushed back you could have back-to-back Timothy Chalamet movies and back-to-back Tom Holland movies in a matter of a few months.
Speaking of young actors the Stranger Things cast is getting pretty old haha hopefully they knock out seasons 4 & 5 at the same time
Lol at first I thought I was just having weird streaming issues watching this but they’re for sure going for some Madworld looking stuff with this. Most definitely to help it run ok on last gen consoles.
Man do I miss mercenaries mode. I actually bought the mercenaries game in the 3DS back in the day and loved it.
This article and it’s thumbnail are strangely very relevant to me considering I got the platinum for Until Dawn last night and I’m going to start God of War today. PS backlog is the best backlog because it’s seemingly never ending 😎👍
I’m on Chapter 9 right now with everyone still alive. I missed 2 collectibles in chapter 8 so I’ll have to get those before doing my “everyone dies” play through. I’d say hardest QTE so far was Emily escaping the Wendigo at the end of chapter 8. Thought for sure I was dead when I missed a QTE and almost fell in a rock crusher.
Just got the platinum trophy for Astro’s Playroom and I actually enjoyed it so much I’m thinking about trying another platformer (which I never play). This is the first console I’ve ever got day 1 and I’d say it’s an A+ so far
I’m enjoying it on PS5 as well. I wish they would’ve stuck to more of the systems they had in the Witcher like loot, crafting, and difficulty but oh well it’s clear they didn’t want to copy too much.
I think there’s an amazing game here getting overshadowed by terrible business practices and bugs.

Most no-life I’ve ever been was April 2020 I got a Warlock 0-60 in WoW:Classic in under a month. Probably about 220ish hours in 4 weeks.

Here’s hoping they implement offline splitscreen for zombies soon without needing 2 PSN accounts.
Re: When Is the Resident Evil Showcase?
Would really love to see a remaster-remake collection for next gen that includes RE:1 HD, RE:2 remake, and 3 remake.
3 and 6 are the only ones I have yet to play. I’ve beaten all the others multiple times.

Re: Soapbox: I'm Really Enjoying Cyberpunk 2077
@Nepp67
Yeah outside of the smart weapons every shotgun feels the same, every SMG feels the same, etc. That was definitely a letdown.
That’s why I went with a BODY build. Now I use gorilla arms that set people on fire, and blunt weapons of the dps is high enough
