Re: PS6 Can't Rely on Cutting-Edge Graphics, Sony Must 'Change Its Way of Thinking'

SystemAddict

Graphics are still fundamental to the state of the art and “state of the art” is the big carrot in video gaming. Plenty folk can’t appreciate the art of whatever craft becomes their playground of choice, the fine detail we worked up to this point over half a century lets not take it for granted everything contributes textures; lumen definition it’s all good. Physics I want the first AAAA in production now 10yrs lets go

Re: Round Up: DOOM: The Dark Ages Previews Hype Up a Slower But Bigger PS5 Prequel

Am glad it’s slower was bloody frenetic. A chance to see the sights too doom 2025 is looking rich man you always think the previous instalments looked just as good yeh well they did “at the time”.. that’s the funny thing about the game industry and that stays with you, and you need a reminder and the initial reboot is almost looking like OG doom in comparison to this lol. That wasn’t even a decade ago?!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 574

Outlaws is half price so I nabbed it. This chick is proper grounded with a blaster and speeder no daft acrobatics… no waving a sh*tsabre atop a daft mount waddlin around like it needed a dump you only had to look at the bar entertainment in comparison, some shït robot regurgitating a preprogrammed playlist of ambient AI that isn’t how a saloon works. And all the while Chickenwire would have been futile the kid went in like he came out; staggerin around like an excitable drunk that game was disneyfied.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Assassin's Creed Shadows?

SystemAddict

@James_42 Odyssey must have been the best setting. Greek Mythology fo Christ sake and part of me I wishes it was the one to get the this gen treatment but the acting was a bit carry on

The thing with this series is it’s effectively the same tried and trusted formula most every yr for like two decades now so I must be same kind of score. And that score is likely an 8 either upwards or down so my score is a safe and respectable 8. The kind of 8 you bring home to your mother, approved

Re: New Batman Game Appears to Be Targeting PS6

SystemAddict

Ok cool. Gotham knights was a uniquely bad beast that actually forced 30fps on you this gen. If it wasn’t universally panned enough and yet I still played through it, because it was still effectively an offshoot of the rocksteady games and still put you in that same Gotham world

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows' Hideout Frame Rate Is a Bug, Set to Be Fixed in Major Update

SystemAddict

@JB_Whiting totally we'll look back over time and every other gradual improvement will have seemed incremental where it was the big generational shift. Got to be smooth-as with all that camera panning and the rest I even made a case for the switch to lower for cinematics, but think I regret it now. Choppy framerate now means effectively "broken" to us that's just how it is

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Soars Past 1 Million Players at Launch

The game looks fantastic. Sometimes people forget the historical accuracy of the scenery in AC titles; attention to detail whilst the graphics is just getting better. They probably didn’t have too much to work with hey piccolo there’s a lot of bush and combat is I’m still like okay haha but look at the weapons you’re flailing here.And traversal can be awkward with the dense bamboo and those Japanese building stacked like multiple roof burgers but jank is cut down a deal. There’s some crazy masks!
