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.

Re: Final Fantasy XIV Online Arrives on PS5 in April with Open Beta, Promises Huge Performance Boost

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).

Re: Don't Expect Diablo 4 or Overwatch 2 to Launch This Year

Shmoo

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.

Re: PS Store Critics Choice Sale Cuts the Price of Many PS5, PS4 Games

Shmoo

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.

Re: Poll: Do You Have a PS5?

Shmoo

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.

Re: Uncharted Movie Delayed Yet Again to February 2022

@nessisonett

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

Re: When Is the Resident Evil Showcase?

Shmoo

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.

@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

Re: Soapbox: I'm Really Enjoying Cyberpunk 2077

Shmoo

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.
