I'm going to wait for a sale because the first game wasn't that good imho

Hard not to giggle at this video: MHW made it a huge pain in the butt to play with friends.

Friendly advice for all: do not buy Starfield. Learn from my mistake. I even did the $99 early access version... ugh.

As bad as the first party situation has been to the PS5, as a huge Nintendo fan my whole life I have to say that the Switch has been even worse! Odyssey wasn't great so all that console really got from a AAA perspective is two Zelda games 6+ years apart. Xbox, awful too. Just a really rough era. We were lucky we got BG3.

Super excited for this. Especially because Starfield was awful and we're probably never getting another real Fallout game thanks to the control freak/spent force named Todd Howard

@Broosh There's a mount rescue command that's a little like Wirefall.

Excited to get another bite of the demo apple! Doesn't seem like this will be a good representative of PS5 Pro performance — but it's a beta for network testing so I'll avoid drawing any unreasonable and whiny conclusions from it

I love Horizon. You can cherrypick examples of dumb hatred for anything thanks to social media. This article feels unnecessary tbh

@GeeForce I don't agree — I miss the GameCube days when Nintendo's games were state-of-the-art. Rogue Squadron 2 was a jaw-dropping moment for me. I have been a Nintendo fan since I was a small child but the Switch has been disappointing in terms of first-party games aside from the two Zelda titles. Nintendo is making a fortune charging $50 and $60 for old games on old hardware... can't argue with their business success but it's a bummer for me as a fan.

I managed to snatch one on Direct and then upgraded. As a Pro owner I hope this shortage doesn't depress Pro sales / make developers less apt to create Pro Enhanced games

PlayStation doesn't have a real competitor in the current-gen console space so they are right to be confident. Xbox is a mess, Nintendo is content to dominate their chunk of the market with underpowered hardware, and PC gaming is expensive/comes with a lot of hassles.

Rough year for VR2 but I'm hoping to see a few more Pro-enhanced stuff for it the next few years. GT7 with Pro looks awesome

Yes HFW looks absolutely stupid on Pro. Like you spent $5K on a PC. Guerilla is unmatched at this stuff

Happy to see my GOTY getting recognition

@Athrum It's easy to set up a PC for couch play, just get a cheap Logitech wireless keyboard+touchpad. Costs $20 and I'm astonished by how long it stays charged on 2 AA batteries

@Jayslow Most people are reasonable enough to discern an early network test from a demo. Wilds will be a mega-hit

71 days to go, hunters!

Please stop covering YouTube comments brigading as news

Project Robot is the only choice

Hopefully Ciri can visit Night City again

Wilds is going to be great, check out the latest round of previews.

I wish this were a Dark Souls game instead of ER but I have to admit it looks great.

The Ico iconography took my breath away

So is this Concord 2 or

Just what I expect from the platform that offers live service excellence

Super exciting update! Glad to hear about the hitstop.

Sony has given their hardcore fans a LOT of excuses not to buy this thing

@somnambulance There is no comparison between a DD game and a MH game when it comes to gameplay depth. DD is a relatively simple hack and slash game with most of the dev emphasis put on graphical fidelity. Meanwhile all of MH's weapons have the move variety of a hardcore fighting game character. MH games have orders of magnitudes more enemies and each enemy has many more moves than anything in DD. MH has hundreds/thousands of items for crafting or deploying in battle. I could go on — point is you don't seem familiar with this series (and that's OK).

@DennisReynolds Every MH game feels dumbed down compared to the last one; welcome to the circle of MH life. Your comments are identical to what Tri/4U fans said about World.

Rey Dau is a solid fight and focus mode seems better than the clutch claw. I'm confident they will deliver monsters that are very tough (even before MR).

@somnambulance DD2 has a fraction of the interactivity and depth of an MH game so your expectations do not make any sense to me. I think Wilds will look very good on PS5 Pro, but I'm worried about base PS5 after playing both versions.

@somnambulance It looks very good on a solid PC. I think you're being too hard on it but it's true the visuals are smeary on PS5

Had a great time killing a pile of Rey Dau. I'm not worried about the look, but only because I don't plan to play on a base PS5.

Hoping they put some hitstop back in + figure out something coherent for how Focus Strike animations resolve

With the exception of the floatiness, the demo was excellent to play on my PC (5800x3d+3080ti). I'm bummed I can't keep playing it today!

Agreed that the combat is too floaty and the visuals looked not great on PS5 once you see it on a good PC.

Another problem they have to solve is the f'd up animation interactions when you destroy a wound with a focus strike combo. On SA your hunter does this long combo, but the monster keeps moving, so you smack the air while damage numbers rack up. Looks dumb.

Still very excited and expect this to be GOTY '25.

Game looks way better on PC unfortunately. Hmm.

Hmm. This is not a good article. The correct settings are Resolution mode with 120 hz ON regardless of your display. I don't know why this is the case, but the game looks fine with these settings and these settings only. Rey Dau and his lightning attacks show off what the engine can do very nicely.

I am pretty happy with Wilds now — earlier I turned off 120 Hz mode and it looked bad, you gotta keep that on. DO NOT switch to performance mode, it looks awful.

Soloing Rey Dau is fun & a bit like the early game Anjanath fight in World; you gotta be on your toes. The mounting is good and the sneak attacks you do when monsters brawl each other are fun.

The new wounding system and counters are going to take awhile to get the hang of. Focus mode is a big departure from past MH but I will try to figure out how to get good at it.

Switch Axe is a little floaty so far and the PS5 performance is not good. Feeling more "meh" than expected. Looking forward to seeing how it does on my 5800X3D+3080ti (which feels fairly PS5 Pro equiv.)

I would buy this in a second 😭

Wow, I did not think it would be so soon. Time to get insanely frustrated trying to beat Rey Dau with demo gear.

Deserved to win the Emmy as much as Todd Howard deserves to be deposed from BGS

I really wondered if they'd consider going AI (with big money going to his family) since he's so inimical. Glad they have a decision made; RIP to the unforgettable Lance Reddick.

Hopefully these tweaks help optimize MH Wilds so we don't get a bunch of unhinged whining about performance

@Frmknst I do! This game is going to make SO much money.

Does that count the PS Plus Collection (RIP)?

Terrible title, could doom a good-looking game

Looks awesome, excited to see how Mazin fixes the game's tedious and monotonous storyline. Here's hoping Neil brings him in to help with Part 3

I'm excited to play it, maybe this time I'll avoid bows in favor of other stuff

Looks very good 👍

It looks good to me for the price of a sandwich; HZD is a 10/10 game with an incredible narrative. For the 3rd game, I hope Guerrilla goes back to the style of the original; FW got pretty silly at the end.

@MidnightDragonDX The Wilds release date had me cheering loudly. Best news of the show, albeit not Sony news.

It was exactly what I expected, a bad state of play with a teaser for GoT2 tacked on. Monster Hunter looks great and I'll probably play Horizon Remastered. That said, I don't see a reason to upgrade to Pro.
