It's QUANTIC Dream, not Quantum Dream.

I like how you completely forgot to explain the logic of the language lock and just focused on the obvious stuff that needed no explanation.

You forgot to include the word “Fortnite” in the headline, so the subject of this article is kind of nonsense/unclear until the reader starts on the body.

I think you've completely misinterpreted what Bloober said. They're merely saying that they aren't at liberty to discuss what is or isn't coming patch-wise, and that Konami marketing team does that. In no way could what they said be interpreted as "we no longer do any dev work on the game."

The verb is take off. "Takeoff" is a noun. You need the verb in this title. Just like set up vs setup etc.

Nope. Sure wish they’d continue to improve Spatial Audio though, as even with the more involved setup they introduced last year, none of the HRTF profiles work for me at all.

That title is ALMOST grammatically correct.

This has to be the most useless attempt at clicks I've ever seen on this site. A specs comparison without having any information on the system's actual specs, and then comparing the size and weight of a portable system to a home console? Is this self parody?

It’s tenet, not tenant 🤦🏻‍♂️

The reason why it’s not badged as PS5 Pro enhanced is because everyone seems to have forgotten that Sony’s rules are that your Pro build needs to do two of either native higher resolutions, more RT, or use PSSR. They’ve only checked one box.

There is no FSR involved for the Pro modes. They clearly indicate PSSR for both modes in the table. It’s not confusing.

Hold up. You're telling me they removed the functionality to plug them directly into each other over ethernet?

Well of course they would be "better than ever". This is about as meaningful a headline as when Apple says the latest iPhone is "the fastest iPhone ever."

I'm confused. Teardown was pulled from Extra in like, May. I can't imagine it was readded since then and is about to be pulled again.

RDR2 is also strange given it was only added a few months ago. I'm used to these terms being six months or longer.

It’s “here come two”. In English when the object is plural, you use a plural verb form. Just like how it’s incorrect to say “here’s some reasons”.

@nomither6 I'm aware. Not sure what your point is. When I play a videogame, I'm not doing it so that I earn a little badge to display on my online profile.

Imagine devoting this much of your time and effort to chasing a digital trophy.

Oy @LiamCroft, "layoff" is a noun. "lay off" is the verb that belongs in this headline.

Why not the Ori games?

I love this game, but the extent to which they’ve gotten so many media outlets to mindlessly tap into the whole “for democracy!” etc vibe instead of just talking straight is kind of sad.

Just report the story as it is instead of doing unpaid work marketing the game for them.

Monday is the 19th, not the 18th 🤦🏻‍♂️

@LazyLombax Yikes

I think you're missing a noun in the title. Like "trailer".

Harold halibut is out in early 2024, not just 2024” https://x.com/haroldhalibut/status/1730290592658190645?s=46&t=hY42QE_zdsADi2UA88oaSQ

It’s been over three years since this console generation started. We’re likely more than 40% through this generation. Stop calling it “new-gen”. It’s just current.

"19 amazing games"? God what a misleading headline.

@Papa_Godzilla You can double the time limit in settings eh

Teardown's not on the list, so I won't vote I guess.

I still don't get how they haven't announced a VR version of this game. Surely it's coming and they're just trying to focus on the flat screen release first. The driving segments and slow FPS stuff scream VR, and the choice of art style has a lot of similarities to other VR games, (because its conducive to keeping framerates high)

@GamingFan4Lyf Whether or not it might be cheaper to get the upgrade in some other way is completely irrelevant to whether or not it's a change in specs. It's absolutely an "upgrade in terms of technical specifications", period. So the article as written is incorrect.

And no one is suggesting someone should replace their console because they're chasing a bit more storage.

@Member_the_game Whether or not it might be cheaper to get the upgrade in some other way is completely irrelevant to whether or not it's a change in specs. It's absolutely an "upgrade in terms of technical specifications", period. So the article as written is incorrect.

Sorry, but it's not so straightforward as to say it ISN'T an upgrade. The internal storage has been bumped up to 1TB from 825GB. And when you consider that the original model leaves you with 667GB available, that 1TB drive means a whopping 26% increase in available capacity. Hard not to call that an upgrade.

@ShogunRok Sorry, but I don't see this specific point articulated in what's written, and I'm arguing that it's the biggest and most obvious point to make. You bring up the hypothesis that since you're essentially surveying people in "the hardcore space", you'd expect interest to be high, but you don't point out that if you're in the "hardcore space" and regularly visiting a site that reports on PS5 news (there isn't much PS4 news to be spoken of anymore), then you probably already own a PS5 and wouldn't be giving a new model any consideration. Also worth pointing out that plenty of the "hardcore" fans are inclined to feel that the "OG" version (absent a Pro model) is the best one to own and that "slim" revisions would be downgrades.

Thinking about it another way, that survey would have been a lot more insightful if it had first included the question "Do you already own a PS5?" (or at leaast included it as a response option as to why you're not interested in the Slim), so that you could make a lot more inferences about how many respondents are even in the market at all and WHY.

@ShogunRok Facepalm — surely you realize that the reason why interest registered so low is the convenience sampling of the survey. The majority of regular visitors to this site ALREADY OWN PS5s. That's why there's little interest in buying a slim.

Not a single game on this list I'm excited for until Q4.

@Ludacritz Fellow Canadian here. I'll also be letting it lapse. I'm certain I could buy the 2 or 3 games a year on PS+ that are worth playing and pay less than half the new subscription price.

@deathaxe Sony's been explicit about it being strictly a video streaming device. There's no need for speculation lol

@Loamy The device is almost certainly going to be powered by a low-end mobile chip, likely something Sony's already using in one of its phones. At best, it's going to be about as competent at emulation as a current Android phone.

@Loamy It's not an emulation device at all. All it does is handle a video stream from your PS5. The only processing it's doing on board is decoding video. There is zero emulation hardware/software to speak of.

I want to see Teardown and The Finals.

PS4/PS5? Seriously? Not just PS5? I find this hard to believe.

If they’re 100% using the old dialogue, why would they be hiring voice actors again for this? The old audio files are surely perfectly good.

*Under fire.

Underfire isn’t a word.

“ATM Machines” 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

The M is for “machine”, folks.

@Reeneman Surprised that there's been zero clarification from Guerrilla (or push from media outlets to get this question answered) about this. Presumably the features that make Burning Shores a PS5 exclusive should trickle down to the base game, right? It's not like the clouds are going to suddenly start being generated with a different method depending on which quest you have selected in the menu....

@StylesT Similar experience, and I wholeheartedly agree. Force myself to push through for 30 hours and finally decided it was not a good use of my time because I only wanted to finish the story, but found all of the story and cinematics so bad that I couldn't watch them. But be careful, you're not allowed to publicly state you think this franchise is overrated. The woefully bad characters, dialogue, voice acting, storytelling, and mission design are things we're supposed to be quiet about.

I remember when Tiger Woods Golf had this feature in 2007. It also launched totally broken and took many weeks to get sorted out. Evidently it's still just as hard 16 years later.
