"I see you gather before me..hungry... terrified... clutching your babes to your breast." Hats off to CDPR keeping this masterpiece evergreen with current gen touches, looks like a game released recently. Playing its equally essential partner - CP2077. Still on the outstanding BG3 also, some EAWRC and HFW. Backwards compatibility from PS4 coupled with enhanced versions makes PS5 an overwhelming gen with so many games, that I'm not too worried anymore the likes of ND don't have a new game out.

Hes really good at making terrifying robots though.

Looks really good!

Quality takes time but same gamers would complain about games taking too long to make and when the devs are made to crunch - complain. Anyway, it's sad they lifted the horses in this, straight from Origins.

Would love it if the price is generous else I'd have to use that money for newer games i haven't bought yet. I bought GTA4 twice, it wouldn't be fair to be asking me £30 even. £20 or less is the best I can do.

@Fyz306903 Yeah but if they were churning out every year like Ubisoft, the quality would drop and we'd still complain.

Happy with my standard PS5. I think it's okay if you can afford the Pro but my issue with these little incremental midgen refreshes is - it doesn't make us really appreciate any advancements when you enter a next gen. Now people have to rely on tech analysis to determine benefits or upgrades. Anybody could tell the jump from PS1 to PS2 to PS3. From PS4 it started slowing down, ironically we started getting midgen upgrades with the PS4Pro. Can't we all just get along and agree to have true gen upgrades and not these mids, but hey there's always a market for those so...And oh forget GTA6 being super optimized for Pro, they'd save their best for PS6 so people can double dip.

214hrs in and still in disbelief at what a marvelous game Baldur's Gate 3 is. Some more of the realistic and enjoyable EAWRC, and yeah Horizon Forbidden West - just gotta finish this 2nd playthrough.

Well I hope this new direction is good. An admission of "we can't compete with R* anymore" if there ever was one. And if you're going linear, you best get to the Naughty Dog, Resident Evil level of linear quality else... Wondering if we'd see the "it's not a true Mafia game" like we did with 3.

@x3King84 So then what's the point of creating that world to drive in...is it just some backdrop...then they're better off cutting that whole section out. I like Mafia Remake too but like most of their worlds, it's mostly empty.

@Herculean biggest lie I ever heard.

For a brother to Rockstar under TakeTwo it's sad Mafia still can't get their open world close to their sibling's. Heard this is even going to be more linear, this trailer is something you can already play in TLOU2 or RE4 or something. GTA/RDR wouldn't be where they are if it was just about linear missions and not their WORLDS. I wish this is something close to MAFIA2 at least.

R* have always ensured their games run perfectly on base systems before considering enhancements on other hardware. They're not like PC-first devs like CDPR who realize their vision on the most expensive hardware only they can afford and start scratching their heads as to how it would work on standard machines.

I remember hearing EXsorbeo 720 which was more a play on Xbox 360 back in the day. Think it was GTAIV's radio, speaking of which...PS4/PS5 still doesn't have GTAIV 😁

Yea @LifeGirl like @spazuluwarrior said; do you have any other ideas... we'd like to know and forward it to Rockstar.

At least get your horses close to RDR2 or TLOU2, they're a huge part of the game. Don't be like Ubisoft lifting the same horse straight from Origins through to Shadows.

Took a Subaru out yesterday, felt sooooo good, the vibrations feeling like I'm actually driving. The dynamic weather changing in the middle of the course, going at top speed, my car getting dirty transitioning to muddy, all the while trying not to wreck the car with its realistic damage detail unlike most racers I know. Graphics is just superb. Codemasters are just so good at this.

Still not too sure about Tsushima. Will try a 2nd run to see if I'd appreciate it better. PushSquare GOTY confirmed, regardless whatever else releases...historically.

Almost got Clair Obscur with all the hype but got EA WRC instead cause I'm still in the middle of a BIG RPG - BG3. It'll be easy to play those 2 side by side. EAWRC looks sooo good and I think it's a bit forgiving for us controller users, I played DiRT RALLY for a long time on PS4, always had a DiRT game since PS3. I'm in the city in BG3, it's so huge and packed it's overwhelming, WHAT A GAME!

@Northern_munkey It's sad what's happening, but I don't want to believe Codemasters' Rally games are done.

I mean a lot of people called it. Would've been more surprising if it released this year.

Yes, had the feeling the price was never going to go down so I got one, plus the great games kept piling up. I mean just look at the games releasing these first 4 months, I felt finally when I got one the gen would have properly started and looks like it has, PS6 may just be pushed back further.

I just bought EA WRC, I love Codemasters Rally games. This is sad to hear. People like to rave on about old games being better than new ones, I still have DiRT Rally installed, still play it but I want a new and sweeter looking version which is this. For some reason I enjoy these Rally games for their dirt and damage than Gran Turismo which looks too unrealistically clean with no damage.

Well most DLCs are forgettable except just a few.

Dunno why people would prefer to call.it Expedition 33 when there is a nicer catchy name like CLAIRRR OBSCURRR!

I watched gameplay vids of this and Clair Obscur, felt like Oblivion was more my style - y'know, the whole open world, going to inns to rent rooms, immersion, graphics look really good but the whole moonwalking of characters and same combat animations...meh... wasn't really feeling the excessive running animations in Clair Obscur too but someday I'll pick them up probably.

Never checked for this game but I always liked the name : Clair Obscur. Good thing it's a great game to match a great name.

Now I'm wondering for the folks with a tight a budget who bought Oblivion on a whim yesterday. 😁

Fishy they didn't get it to reviewers ahead of time.

Still, Baldur's Gate 3. Game is just soooo good! Not seen such memorable cast since RDR2.

With some experience from DoS2, I've been able to move pretty fast in BG3 compared to the former. DoS2 was more punishing and the inconsistent art direction didn't push me to keep going, one time it looks nice, other times not so nice. BG3 on the other hand looks so sweet I know I'm going to play it to the end. Simply one of the best RPGs I've ever played, such memorable characters in an RPG I've seen in a long time!

@DexTepa 😂😂 They really require patience and tactics these Larian games, but so far I find BG3 manageable, DOS2 is worse.

Just had a feeling things weren't going to change that much, prices were either going to get worse, stay the same or reduce insignificantly. So I stopped waiting and got me the disc-PS5 fresh off the boat, I barely use the drive even, since most of my games are digital.

Me oh my, oh my oh me...still on the game that barely allows you to play other games - Baldur's Gate 3. Will try to sneak in a bit of Horizon Forbidden West though. And oh, Karlach is a masterpiece.

Baldur's Gate 3 is monumental! A game that has me exclaiming wow awe and all that in a long time.

@AhmadSumadi I also am yet to beat Ragnarok, I got it in December '24. I don't know what exactly it is with GoW but it just fails to hold your attention for the longest time.

@themightyant Hmph. Zelda's had different art styles over the years. Well, I haven't had the time to download Honkai but I played a lot of Genshin, however the constant updates put me off.

@get2sammyb Never even heard that one, checked it out, yeah that looks a bit different.

I wish these gacha games would have different art styles, they all look the same.

Don't remember the last time I bought PS Plus. Can't even have enough time for all the games I bought let alone Multiplayer or monthly free games that are just going to keep piling up in the backlog heavier than the fog in crookback bog!

But why can't the characters - or at least the protag - change attire in these games like every other RPGs or open worlds...Your guy wore the same damn skin tights and checkered shirt the entire Metaphor Refantazio!

Thought I could play other games but Baldur's Gate 3 hardly let's you. The graphics is just so sweet looking first off. This feels like the truest RPG in a long time. Oh and Astarion is such a memorable character, makes me laugh all the time when he simply opens his mouth, no wonder the voice actor won the award at TGA. This all I can type, in a hurry to get back to it. What a game!

Y'all keep changing your tune, I thought y'all co-signed a Pro in these generations of diminishing returns and called anyone who didn't co-sign a jealous bitter hater. On the real though, ambitious devs like Rockstar, Naughty Dog would always need more power not just for graphics but power for more realistic and immersive gameplay. Everyone can't be making Mario Kart and Zelda.

This is Nintendo64 all over again with those prices.

@RoomWithaMoose it's more of people using the money they could've used for say GoT or other games for GTA6 instead. Not many people buy multiple games close to each other because of financial or time constraints. You could afford all of them but do you have the time to dedicate fully to a particular game...Plus there's no denying GTA6 would easily take shine off your game in the same window, these guys - the publishers - know what they're about.

@OmegaStriver Not confident? Heh this the same approach they used with RDR2 and look how that turned out.

Baldur's Gate 3 - still deciding which origin character to play. Wish DOS2 had half the graphics this has, amazing! I'm in for a good time. If I have little time to switch - it'd be a bit of HFW, CP2077 or ER.

@ztpayne7 Nah, had no problem with P5, beat it twice. Never had any problem with Metaphor bosses till this final guy's fackin second phase. I also have the Bloodborne plat, could easily get Elden Ring's plat but don't wanna rush it. Sekiro tho... that's a problem, still haven't beaten it, met Sword Saint and my PS4 Saves all got corrupted, I'm on him 2nd time, he's Isshin now.

Hey Goto, I think your final boss in Metaphor is too much of a cheat it's more possible to beat the hardest boss in a Souls game than this guy.

"including high-end PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and the next-generation of consoles”.

If ever you were looking for proof of crossgen being here to stay.

@Herculean GTAV has first person btw. I'm fine with CP2077 being 1st but would've been cool to have 3rd too so we can see our V's attire. Personally no game is as immersive as Rockstar's games though.

I mean it's the only game that's close to scratching that GTAVI itch. My V bought a Quadra yesterday feels so good.

Lol that KCD2 price is funny. And Baldur's Gate 3 is still a bit expensive from 2023, considering MH Wilds at full price instead...confused...

I always said Xbox were playing at something bringing their games to PS. So in the long run PS would look petty keeping their games semi exclusive. It all started with the PC ports, now it would look odd blocking PS studios games on the PC-like NextBox.

Masterpiece. The atmosphere, the fashion, the weapons, the overall art! I remember first time playing, being stuck at the beginning and my bro was like why would I go and buy this suffering for myself. I persevered cause I knew there was something special in there, it wasn't like all the other games I'd played. Slow but sure, the little progress I made, every step was deeply satisfying. Father Gascoigne almost made me give up but after him it was smooth sailing - beat Vicar Amelia first try, beat the game twice and went on to platinum. Sold it at the time cause I thought I was done with it, bought it again in 2023 -double dipped - cause this masterpiece never gets old.
