@EVIL-C Well my issue with these remasters is that all of them could've been emulated to the same or way better result (Looking at you, MGS1 and Chrono Cross) more than a decade ago.
@Porco >will have to make some compromises after it is 12 months old..
That's just plain wrong. If you build a true no expense spent PC rig it will last at least 4 years with 0 upgrades needed. The days with PC exclusive graphics intensive games a-la Crysis and F.E.A.R. are long gone and the vast majority of big games still caters to the weakest denominator which are the consoles.
@Darude84 Exactly. It was a huge slog to get through the first part that I couldn't care to even start the DLC. Guess I'm gonna watch a walkthrough on YouTube of the second game.
@Anthony_Daniels Dont forget that one of the reasons for Bungie acquisition was for them to supervise the development of Sony's live service games. Who knows how much of their input is in Helldivers 2?
@Jay767 The question is if it's really worth it at this point. Helldivers IP belongs to Sony anyway and if the games' success remains stable it could be milked for quite some time.
@ATaco The first game has already been a success so I have faith in Arrowhead. On the other hand the successes of these live service games made on a lesser budget is exactly what makes AAA game development extremely risky endeavour.
@Tecinthebrain Agree on this. As an early adopter (got my PS5 around 4.5 months after the release) I must say I've been mostly disappointed with it and could've still be playing games on PS4 at this point. Basically none of the pure ps5 games released in the last two years interest me. Spider Man 2 is just an inferior copy paste of Batman Arkham games, Ragnarok is just a slightly upgraded version of 2018 reboot which itself wasn't that good since it has changed core mechanics of the first games, Forbidden West is a step down from Zero Dawn which I found also kinda mediocre. Oh, should I mention that the last two games still used movable crates as a puzzle mechanic in 2022? Laughable.
@michaelf
None of this has anything to do with the official statement from Sony though. All they've said is that this year PS5 will reach the approximate middle point of its life cycle. Which is totally true.
Gotta love people complaining about the next gen console which they would use for the next 7 years potentially costing 700 bucks/euros while at the same time buying 1k smartphones every 2-3 years.
