Game billboards and posters usually look like AI versions of stuff you see in the real world already. Does it really matter? It's just window dressing.

Just buy No Man's Sky and dig across the universe.

Back in 2022 they gave everyone 1 mil credits as a gesture of good will. Wish I didn't get them. It made the progression too quick. I would have preferred to race my way to the good cars. That was my biggest gripe with Forza Horizon 5. Too many cars thrown at you non-stop. I want to spend my time with a car and appreciate it before jumping to a new one.

@djlard these sales are generally to entice new users or convince people to upgrade a tier. Why would they offer it to an existing subscriber if they are already willing to pay the subscription cost?

I spent a lot of time on the original while traveling through Turkey with my PSP in tow. What great memories.

@Perryg92 you still have to pop the disk in and stream it directly from the system... Which is absolutely to be expected.

@JimmyRiddle these games are probably decided months in advance. They probably thought at the time it would be a good marketing beat to keep GTA in the spotlight close the the release of GTA 6.

Looks nothing like a Ghibli...

Because it will be a PC (all signs point to it). That's why they will not charge for online multiplayer access.

@Kidfunkadelic83 I read a quick summary on the first game and I still thoroughly enjoyed the second game. Be forewarned that the first 10 to 15 hours have a steep learning curve.

@MJF they remade it with more modern gameplay mechanics. Doubt they will change it for this one. You always have the OG with turn base.

It always cracks me up when people rate games a 1/10. It is almost harder to get that score than a 10/10. Both should be reserved for a unicorn of a game.

@BusyOlf I can't think of any map titles outside of Nuketown and Shipment. I can't even remember any of the names of the characters in the games either.

@Rich33 I guess... I heard mixed reports on the performance. Tom from Moore's Law is Dead recently reported that he wasn't having really any game affecting issues while playing on the PS5 Pro. I'm sure it needs more optimization, but I don't know if you tank a games score based on your feelings that it could perform a little better. At least they addressed it in the review and you can wait until they patch it a bit more.

The gameplay looks smooth and fun, but the colors look very cold and muted. Is this game supposed to be hard, or is the person playing just really good?

Theory is that this is going to be the specs developers will use when targeting their games for a future handheld...
Or it is just a box for them to tick off to save carbon credits or for some weird EU law/rule.

I think the postal service did them a favor.

@darylb24 there is always a new kid coming of age to play seminal games like GTA 5 and Read Dead 2.

@Rich33 Sounds miserable. Sorry you have to deal with that.

@Rich33 I have not heard any reports where the framerate drops have made the game unplayable. My apologies if this is the case for you, but I am just used to online folks over reacting.

@Rich33 So you are one of those people...😅 Everything is either a 1 or a 10. Stop it with this nonsense. There is nuance in life. It should be very hard to get a 1 or a 10 score in anything.

Pretty sure that's Kingdom Come Deliverance 2...

Afeela like loading this game up and taking these cars for a spin.

I don't remember having many issues with stamina during traversal. I found I ran out while climbing, but after you play for awhile you level up climbing and are able to get to places you couldn't before. Thought that was by design to prevent you from accessing parts of the story early in the game. Can you climb without stamina running out now?

To all saying souls like... this does not look like a souls style of game. Maybe more like a FPS God of War or something like that.

@Anya-chan it's a hat. I haven't seen any promo images with anything but a hat.

It looks way better in motion than it does in the screenshots. Glad I took a second to watch the gameplay because I almost wrote it off.

@Anya-chan agreed... but odd call out in response to this story.

@thechetearly I'm sure there will be an actual PS6 console. A lot of people don't need or want a handheld.

PS: Love that you are repping the Chariot. Sad I missed seeing them live.

@crackeastwood that didn't work out financially for them. They are now opening the floodgates on "held back" games. I don't think you can blame them too much for trying out a tactic to regain market share. Sony just has too much of a lead at this point.

@crackeastwood they currently have a great value proposition for the consumer. That being said, I believe it is to the industries own detriment to go down the game subscription path. Why do you see them so poorly?

@JB_Whiting Probably had to release the game now to pay the bills and make payroll or shut it all down. My guess is the developer closes by the end of July.

Why such sour tunes? Getting access to a brand new game like FBC: Firebreak would be fine in and of itself. Everything else is icing on the cake. Katamari is some delicious icing btw.

@Bramble but in that case you are still rooting for the team of that Coach/player you are following to win. And a lot of teams have players from that city on the roster.

Seriously sounds like a high 6 to a low 7 review score. I think it gets a bump because of the developer's stellar track record and fear of backlash from fans.

@LifeGirl it would be better to be further from the PS6 so they can sell a enhanced or remastered version a few years later at launch. If it is really close to the PS6, you may see the PS6 remaster in year 2 of the console.

Star Wars in Destiny sounds like a jump the shark moment. Is Bungie cooked?

@Areus RE5 is nowhere near as popular as RE4. I don't think it would have the same level of success.

@Frmknst Stop saying you got it “for free” because it’s on Game Pass. You’re paying for it.
You don’t say Dollar Shave Club razors are free. Or that your apartment is free. It’s a "subscription".
Look how the video streaming services played out. Prices go up, content gets scattered between multiple services, and you end up paying more for less.

@lazarus11 PIG? Fantastic little film. It's one of Cage's better performances.

@Residentsteven what's your go to racing game?

Reminds me of the old PS3 game Afrika.

@Alps_Stranger are you playing in base or Pro?

My feeling is a lot of people did not play this game when it came out. Seeing it in a new light probably pushed some holdouts into pre-ordering. I played it for the first time on the PS5 and it was fantastic in all its 60fps glory.

I don't understand these games at all and I feel like it's too late for me to get in the loop.

Was this as fun as Horizon 4? I had a blast with that game.

The gift that keeps on giving. Great game.

The longer I watched the trailer, the more it started to feel like a real job. How much are they paying us per hour to play this game?

I had no clue Japan was this prudish around violence in games. I thought that it was mainly Australia the censored games. You learn something new everyday.

It looked generic and the name of the game didn't do it any favors.
