I don't recommend Pacific Drive. Although I enjoyed the process of gradually upgrading the car, the core gameplay was dull and repetitive. Drive through a forest, loot buildings of materials, go back to garage. The environment is also bland.
Good ol' Sony. Using the tactic that food-manufacturers have been employing for years. Reduce the size, but keep the price the same. Then thump your chest and proclaim "See, we haven't increased the price, we're so good to you!"
@Northern_munkey I recently installed Project Cars 2, and controls were awkward until I applied these recommended settings. Perhaps there is something similar for Project Cars 1.
@wiiware I think most investors will stay away from western and goes to china/east gaming now
God I hope not. It's investors and shareholders that strangle creativity with their demand for safe-bets.
@get2sammyb Nonsense. The cost of AAA games has escalated because developers mistakenly believe we want enormous games that strive for photo-realism at any cost.
16th October. Producer Mark Rubin: "To be crystal clear, there are NO plans to shut down after season 4. I've literally been in meetings as of last week to discuss our Year 2 plans"
That's not a great leap forward, because the law of diminishing returns applies. The difference between 90Hz and 120Hz is not as significant as 30Hz and 60Hz.
What did they expect? It was a sequel to a moderately-known game that released 13 years prior. They made the PC-version exclusive to the Epic Store, and they initially refused to release a physical version for consoles.
@DonJorginho Sony here. Yes, we've learned the danger of making a game when the market for it's genre is over-saturated. So we are pleased to announce that we have spent $250m on a new 2.5D metroidvania.
On the base PS5 with a 120 Hz display, the Fidelity mode outputs dynamic 4K / 40-60 Hz with ray-tracing, so the gap between this and the PS5-Pro is even slimmer.
The person who invented early-access must be laughing their arse off. "I cannot believe we convinced gamers to pay us extra for something that costs us NOTHING!"

Re: PS5 Modder Successfully Installs Linux, Boots GTA 5 at 60fps with Ray Tracing
But the official Performance RT mode already outputs 1440p / 60Hz with Ray-Tracing? Perhaps that's only RT shadows, whereas this claims it is full RT.

Re: Sony's Still Not Doing Anything with Bloodborne, It's Claimed
@belmont Before it was remade, a free 60 Hz patch was released for Horizon Zero Dawn. I'll wager that's all most fans really want for Bloodborne.

Re: 64+ PS5, PS4 Games to Buy in PS Store's Ready Set Play Sale (North America/Europe)
