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?

@Texan_Survivor Switch support is listed. Probs not.

This is a sneaky way to bring Redfall into the conversation without out and out mocking this title as game pass fodder. Free game is free quality. Go figure.

Hopefully we get a VR release as well.

@Green-Bandit the changeable stick caps don't help with this issue? My problem is my thumb will slide off the stick and tap the large touch pad. I guess longer sticks may help with that.

@GrimReaper looks nothing like one.

@Max_the_German For a game of that size, they could probably bug fix for eternity. There will never be a game that is bug free and doesn't need updates. The dev teams just has to get it to a place where the bugs aren't noticeable and game breaking. The Witcher 3 is a finished product. It is just in perpetual polish mode until the dev team decides that it is not worth the continued support.

This is the studio founded by ex-head of Dice. I was wondering why it looked so much like old Battlefield with the destructible environments and animations. Not surprisingly, the sound design feels immersive as well. Arc Raiders from the same studio also looks fantastic. I guess this guy stole Dice's magic.

What if the game actually ends up being fun though? Isn't that the end goal for a game? Something people enjoy playing. I know it's a departure from past games, but sometimes that ends up being a good thing. I love Destiny 2 and I can't imagine it being any better or worse if they took the live service features out. It is just a genuinely enjoyable game that I can come back to on a periodic basis.

@Americansamurai1 I agree. They would probably have to redesign it to fit a larger battery. They kept the same footprint as the duel sense controller. I wish they made a fat version of each controller with added battery life. I just have two I swap out every other play session. This new controller is to expensive to keep 2 on hand.

@Gamer_Guy I don't understand your criticism. This is the closest GT game to the originals that I have played. It reignited the excitement I had in the series. I felt like it got away from its roots in GT Sport and GT6 and then GT7 took a step in the right direction. While it is not perfect, it is something the team can build upon.

I replayed HZD on PS5 recently (after the 60fps patch) and I found it smooth to play, still beautiful, and barely dated. It holds its own against other similar open world games like AC: Valhalla. If they do an upgrade, it should be free and not take away significant resources from the future. We are in a gaming drought this gen and this just further digs the hole (not to mention Covid setting games back dev time for almost 2 years).

I call BS on this as well. I am 100% excited for a new era though. I lost step with Destiny 2 and the idea of catching back up again with the leveling and weaponry gave me a headache. If the next iteration could pump out content at an even pace, then it would be easier to stay locked in from expansion to expansion.

Killzone 3/2 were some of my favorite multiplayer games on the PS3. Shadow Fall just couldn't match it in my book. I enjoyed the single player campaign, even though it felt a bit rushed.

Couldn't they just hire more staff? They are literally printing money with GTA. I am sure a lot of people would pay for an upgraded RDR2 and a Remake/Remasters of RDR.

@Victor_Meldrew I still have trust issues after seeing Crystal Skull in theaters.

@ShogunRok he is speculating on the industry at large, but you can read between the lines that this is his way of saying that Intel will have shortages until at least 2024.
AMD has a more positive spin on the matter (both PS5/Xbox heavily rely on them).
"This was contrary to comments from AMD CEO Lisa Su, who at the time had said she expected the second half of 2022 to see supply increase."
I do partially agree with Intel's CEO, but I also think he is running some damage control for his company.

@TheCollector316 I believe Microsoft and Sony both use similar chips in their design. They are both going to be dealing with most of the same problems in regards to chip shortages.

I don't think the PS5 has any Intel built chips in its design. This is a misleading title and it is not a relevant story to site for PS5 production issues.

I am boarding the boat of people clamoring for an offline version as well. My internet was being worked on sporadically through the weekend and it kept booting me from races. My other qualm is that you have to go through multiple different menus to tune/purchase an item. It should be easier to jump from tuning/parts purchasing/painting/etc. It's just unnecessarily complicated. Besides that, I am loving the hell out of this game.

@mariomaster96 It's actually just $20 more a year for access to those games. It does suck if that's all you play. Personally, I would never play or stream them, so I am happy for the $20 savings. That was one of the major roadblocks for why I never signed up for PS Now. I didn't want to pay the cost of streaming and for a library of old old games. Now the middle tier is focused on games that I would actually play (most of the market would fall into this basket). The premium tier is for diehards who need their nostalgia fix (Sony knows that these folks will typically pay out for that fix).

@tofuman86 you realize that all games had bugs before the era of updates and patches right? If anything, it is a good thing that issues can be fixed post launch. Modern open world games are massive. Because of this, there will never be a completely bug free game. Post launch patches and support is a sign of a good developer. As long as the game is not shipped completely broken (PS4 version of Cyberpunk), I see this all as a positive for gamers.

Which episode of Sacred Symbols was this discussed on? I can't find the episode and time code. Just finished listening to the one posted on the 17th and it wasn't on there.

@UltimateOtaku91 They probably have a support contract to fulfill. Only thing that would make sense in keeping this game on life support. Multiplayer only games need to hit within their first year or just let the devs move on. It is very hard to get a player base if you fumble at the launch window.

If they upgrade the engine, graphics, and sound then I might play again. This game is one of the most outdated games on the market right now.

I don't care what this game is (GAS/Etc.), the gameplay looked fun and frenetic.
