@BeerMonster this isn't a super recognizable IP. It's hardly just a cash grab.

I would have expected them to be in deep development already. Hopefully this is not a sign that they are still in the early stages of dev on their next game.

It's hard to win people over to a new franchise. This was a poor intro, and I am not even curious about the world. I think Naughty Dog will pull it off, but this is weak marketing.

Where did she get a fountain soda in space? Also, why are there random Star Wars robots chilling in the woods. This is super cheesy looking, but hopefully it will be fun.

Glad my backlog is huge. I get to play a lot of games for the first time in their best state.

@UltimateOtaku91 It's already sold really well, even without these launch features. I agree this should have been included from the start, but at least it adds extra value for those who’ve already purchased it. Presumably, it just wasn’t ready for prime time at launch. On the bright side, at least you could play right away without needing to sign up for a service—just owning the game was enough. This feels like icing on the cake now.This is icing on the cake.

@LifeGirl It only looks bad for Sony from a outside perspective. The real culprit is the developer's implementation of the update. There are a lot of games, updated or not, that run far better on the Pro. If you hop into the PS5pro subreddit you will see that a good portion of the users are quite impressed with the results (you kinda also have to have a high end display for a lot of this to actually matter).

@Dampsponge I heard they have done a bunch of updates over the years to make the combat a lot better than it was at launch.

Dying Light 2 hasn't been available yet for PS+. I am definitely giving that a go. They are inevitably going to run out of games to offer, and will cycle through old ones.

Expensive..."learning". Hope they get student loan forgiveness in the next election.

@UltimateOtaku91 totally forgot it was on PS2. I played it on PC like a good boy.

Who plays these games with a controller? Odd.

This might work bc people are going to want to download it for free to see what all the fuss was over. If it is actually good, then they might win some people over in the process. It's definitely a gamble.

PS5 Pro is a must in this situation. Are they going to do this from here on out so people buy the pro? lol

@JB_Whiting it's just a bad title.

@mrbone Have you played the first Dying Light? It is surprisingly quite fun if done right. Mirrors Edge was one of the first games to really show there was more to first person than just walking and running.

@Hi569 I still don't even know if I've played an extraction shooter.

In the Summer I rarely game because I would rather enjoy the outdoors while I can. I typically wind down with a short tv show before bed. I'll maybe play on a rainy day.

Concord will be on PS+ by end of year.

@GamingFan4Lyf they will be good with whatever sells. They know the catalog they are investing in. Plus, the found and CEO holds a lot of shares, and would most likely have full control.

@Decoy_Snake The Lord of the Rings: Gollum

@Dusk_Actual I've heard that the game requires a steep investment of time to get a handle of. For better or for worse it doesn't sound like a game for casuals.

@TicklefistCP Extra or Premium? I would regret a Premium subscription. Hopefully it gets better now that the have added more PS2 support. Next they need a PS3 emulator.

This doesn't necessarily end Just Cause. Montreal has not released anything yet because they were acquired in 2023. Does anyone know what series New York typically worked on? Or were they just a support studio?

@NinjaNicky if this is more arcady and accessible then it will scratch a different itch.

If nobody buys it, then Ubisoft will stop this nonsense. They are seeing how far they can go with pricing before the consumer says enough is enough.

@Intr1n5ic Same. First month I almost forgot.

@Luigia I can't even fathom what it would look like. Maybe it could have had Wipeout tracks and vehicles. Or they could have added popcorn buckets to the crowd. I would have loved to see more weather effects like hail and tornados as well. One can only dream.

This one's for Colin. lol

@SirRealDeal I would almost 100% guarantee we are not getting a Steam app on PS5 anytime soon.

@Ken_Kaniff I do as well.

The perfect game to wait for a PS5 Pro version.

@Ken_Kaniff Put zero stock in cinematics. That's all this was.

Sad that the game can't be more inclusive, but it does look like a banger.

@Ooccoo_Jr Stadia

@Shushibda The assumption is this is for compatibility with PC exclusive VR games. If that is the case, then you would need a good gaming PC.

People complaining in the thread for no good reason. It's great that Sony is offering compatibility for a peripheral across platforms. They should have done this at launch. Sure, there are other products available that are more current, but if you already have one, it's a great entry into the hobby. Plus you don't have to buy multiple headsets and contribute to e-waste.

I was hoping that Forza Horizon and Indiana Jones would eventually make it to PS5. Looks like I will eventually need to invest in updating my gaming pc.

@SJR kids need a different way to watch porn without their parents knowing. I bet most adults don't know that game consoles could even access a website.

@LifeGirl Not luck. It was a great idea from a well regarded studio that got rushed out too early. It sold well, but then got pulled from storefronts because of technical issues. Most games where the developer "fixed it later" had no hype in the first place or had no cache built up in their studio. Many of us held out because we believed that CD Project would make good. They did, and we ate it up.

@Nepp67 The game was fun though. Story, not so much.

Some people in here have no clue how bad Bluetooth latency is... especially when you are streaming to another device. That is why most headsets have a USB dongle. Normal Bluetooth really doesn't cut it for gaming. Buy a set of wired headphones or spring for the earbuds from Sony that include a USB dongle to reduce latency. If they opened the door to all Bluetooth headphones then they would get nonstop complaints about audio not fully syncing up properly with the gameplay.

@Matroska Shadow of Moria was fantastic for its time and had some interesting and fresh mechanics. I felt like Shadow of War was a step in the wrong direction and I remember it feeling more unpolished.

The old Two Towers and Return of the King games were pretty well made co-op action games as well.

Chalk this up to inflation. This is the first time in my memory where there is a price increase mid-gen when a slimmer system is released. I think they would have increased it further but they did tricky stuff like charging extra for a stand and a disk drive to make the base cost as cheap as they possibly could. I don't know what their margin is on the system, but typically they are sold at a break even cost or even at a loss to the manufacturer.

Dang... I will have to wear sunglasses playing this game in HDR.

@LifeGirl from this perspective, it sounds like you wish that they just brought the game offline, refunded everyone, and never re-released it. They fixed it, and it is good now. People buy good products. This sets a good precedent.

@StylesT But you can leave a comment to let us all know. You should give it a go if you still own it. I have held off until update 2.0. I am finishing up Forbidden West first and then firing it up. They f----- up the launch but I am willing to give games another go after the dev team has put heavy work into them. No Mans Sky is one of my favorite games and I only figured that out because I decided to give it a chance after the bad press.

@Anke What settings did you tweak in order to make it a little bit more responsive. The cars feel a little bit like they are driving on ice.

@Paranoimia for you to decide to buy it or for you to turn it off because of boredom?

Borderlands hack and slash?
