Is it just me, or does part of the music sound almost exactly like the Final Fantasy main theme?

In the article it says “turn v-sync on”. Pretty sure you mean off, right?

Just finished it on GamePass. The artwork & setting are fantastic. The story is fine. The gameplay is sadly pretty bad. Gets very boring & repetitive by the end.

This is great news! Yet, every time I see news of a 60 fps patch I’m reminded of how Bloodborne & Red Dead Redemption 2 are still stuck at 30 fps.

I’m still furious and very sad about Bluepoint’s closure. Publishers should NOT buy devs just to close them!

I adored the Demon’s Souls remake, and was really hoping Bloodborne would get a similar treatment (but with less changes to the art, b/c BB’s art is already perfect). The least Sony could do to appease fans is FINALLY release a 60fps patch for PS5!!!

Please be a metroidvania and NOT a roguelite!!!

@johncalmc this was such an amazing review (albeit for a really bad game). Read it out loud to the missus and we were both nearly crying from laughter!

Further proof we are living in the worst possible time-line!

I will never understand why some rogue-likes also get referred to as metroidvanias. The defining features of each genre is how progression & exploration work. And they seem incompatible by definition! I don’t see how any game can possibly be both!

I really wish they had just made an actual sequel in the vein of the original HLD. HLB never appealed to me.

Not a great month for me personally, as I’ve already played all 3.

@JuiceboxMeister this is exactly what I want!

Painters vs Writers please! Maybe even get to play as some characters from each side!

@DrVenture69 The last game is not a remake in any way whatsoever. It is 100% a sequel. It even reference events & characters from the 2014 game. It’s really stupid they didn’t just call that one LotF 2, and the upcoming game 3.

I agree PlayStation management is clueless. The real reason they’re doing well this generation is just lack of competition. Just because Xbox is managed worse, doesn’t mean PS is managed well. They seemed much better during the PS4 era.

@KundaliniRising333 Hipster is exactly the word I was thinking. Kojima is such a &@#%ing Hipster!

Hell Is Us is my #1 followed by Chronos as #2. I’m sure Ghost of Yotei will be amazing, but as a sequel it feels so much less exciting than new IP.

I cannot forgive Sony for making (or even letting) BluePoint waste years on a Live Service boondoggle, rather than the obvious Bloodborne remake and/or sequel. It’s insane!

Excellent news. Bloodborne next?

Dammit. I just bought a PS5 Pro about a month ago!

@Oram77 Bioshock 2 (including its DLC) is indeed the best. The combat is much better than the other 2 games and the Big Sisters were scary AF.

> perhaps best known for 2010's Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

Really? Not Metroid Dread?

@get2sammyb what game is the image at the top from?

Ugh… I thought the industry had finally had gotten past thinking that “Biggest Map Ever!” was something to brag about

I can’t believe some PS4 games, like this one, are getting PS5 patches & then also remasters. Meanwhile Bloodborne & RDR2 get nothing, still stuck at 30pfs

Was super into the trailer… then I saw roguelike and now I’m not so sure…

I wouldn’t call it an Action PLATFORMER. It was 100% a Zelda-like.

Infamous & especially Infamous 2 & it’s vampire DLC!

@Dan-The-Van Hellblade 2 was so awful, I still haven’t been able to bring myself to finish. And I liked the first game. The only good thing about the sequel are the phenomenal graphics.

Pre-Trump era, when the game came out (the first time) it would have been a hard choice. But now… humanity deserves to go extinct. Let the giraffes inherit the earth.

If it had Half-Life Alyx and ports of more PSVR1 games (e.g. AstroBot, Skyrim) then I’d get one.

So weird (but awesome) that we’re getting this AND a new 2D Ninja Gaiden.

Possibly the most beautiful game I’ve ever played. Sadly, also one of the most boring. Much worse than the first one

I would definitely prefer that new games move to a new setting, and I think Egypt would be great. Ancient Latin America (Aztec, Mayan, or Inca) would also be cool.

I’d be happy to ALSO get remasters or remakes of the original Greek trilogy (and PSP games). But I definitely wouldn’t want them instead of new games in a new setting.

Besides the obvious Bloodborne, I would really love to see InFamous make a comeback. And then maybe Resistance & Gravity Rush.

It’s got to be the most stunning game I’ve ever seen, but it’s barely a game. Was so bored, I couldn’t even bring myself to finish it. The first one was a much better “game”’.

My wife and I (mostly) loved “Love Death & Robots” but we’ve been really disappointed with Secret Level. Other than the “New World” & Crossfire episodes (oddly two games we couldn’t care less about), we thought the rest of them have been pretty terrible so far (only seen episodes 1-8). They’re so completely lacking any sort of narrative or context. They seem more like overly-long trailers.

If you turn off PSSR, what does it then do? Does it use FSR2 instead? Or just not upscale at all? And how does it look with PSSR on vs. off?

@RedRiot193 are you referring to the quality mode or the perf mode? And any idea what kind of frame rate you’re getting on the Pro?

I wanna know when the perf mode will actually be 60fps and not 30 with framegen

When the PS4 Pro came out CDPR initially said they were not going to update The Witcher 3 for it, but they eventually did. And then of course updated it even more for PS5. So I think they may eventually get around to updating both games for PS5 pro as well.

I didn’t mind the Animus stuff in AC1, but have just found it to be an annoying, immersion breaking, distraction in every game since (though I’ve not played every single game). I also really don’t care for the story bits that connect across the games. The historical stuff is always the best part.

Damn. I recently bought HotWheels Unleashed 2, and haven’t even played it yet

Why does anyone buy games at launch???

@Emmiranda I think you’ve got it wrong. They didn’t count games without a physical version at all.

I’m in the $100 savings group. I’m glad I won’t be forced to pay for a drive I won’t ever use (when I eventually upgrade to the Pro). Haven’t bought game on disc since PS3.

And no, it’s not because I’m too lazy to switch a disc. It’s because I live in a small apartment in the city and prefer to not have a lot of physical things with no good place to store them.

@Katsuhono regarding GoW Ragnarok, I remember quite the opposite, that originally it was going to be 2 more full games (making it a Norse trilogy) but that they combined them into the single sequel.

Far from wanting to play games early, I will ALWAYS wait for them to be on sale and get the less buggy, patched version for cheaper. I can’t fathom how anyone has so much FOMO (especially for single player games) that they’d pay extra to effectively be a beta tester.

There needs to be an option for “Dead Space Remake was great but I already own it”
