Now a certain someone can't lie about his perfect scores anymore. Word up son.

Little bit of Concord and Sly Cooper.

@Hi569 Yes, they can. But they can't do the early pre-load. It's live now.

@Frmknst I suggest reading properly.

@CrispyMango92 My points for the Elden Ring DLC have been added, which was purchased during the downtime

The internet was a mistake.

@Americansamurai1 It's because you can't just port them like that due to the entirely different tracking systems. They'd have to manually do that all over again, which probably costs way too much. Bummer though, would have loved to replay some of them.

There goes all the hope for more first party VR content. Maybe a VR hybrid from Firesprite? Highly doubt it though.

@jamison1993 Sackboy is criminally underrated imo.

This will be my GOTY, I can already sense it.

@pip_muzz Phil admitting to doing it themselves was a little too detached from the slimey phrase, so I don't know how it can be seen in context. He was definitely referring to Sony with it. But it's wild to see all the tweets Shawn liked. And he hasn't stopped since. Apparently, they gave instructions to the crowd (which was very cringe btw) when to cheer, which a user has shown in a video clip, saying how fake it was etc. and Shawn liked that tweet as well. Man's out to fight, lol.
Edit: He has hidden his likes now

5 minutes of Sly made me fire up my PS3 to play the HD collection. Not that I expected this version to be superior, but maybe close enough? Nope, that did not happen. Glad it's on PS5 no matter what.

Right after the showcase, I was thinking: What if they were going all out with that showcase in order to dampen the blow for upcoming statements? Well, that came quickly, didn't it, lol. Jokes aside, the writing has been on the wall for a while now. I liked how he said something like "we don't do slimy platform things". Yeah right. That's easy to say when you have no other choice, because you effed up for so long and brought yourself in that position.

@Undeadcop OK, will do. See you in a month.

@Shepherd_Tallon I was wondering whether this was a strategic move by Sony as well. I truly hope so and the reason they're not showing anything isn't development hell or some sort of inner turmoil. Because let's be real: They didn't have to show anything basically as the consoles were selling like hot cakes regardless 😁

A lot of the stuff they showed should have been shown a lot sooner and still has no release windows. That said, that was one hell of a show and actually had things I was seriously interested in. I haven't said that about Xbox games in like a decade. A well-deserved kick in the arse for Sony. Currently, I can't complain, but they are annoyingly quiet with a lot of their first party studios.

I wish those were the kinds problems I have to deal with.

I buy physical whenever possible but I'm not one of those that gains satisfaction from simply having a box on the shelf. If I don't get any more benefits than just the box without a fully functioning game on disc, I may as well just buy it digitally.

Well, there's almost two hours two kill until SGF. I didn't expect them to be this good until now.

Sing along with me, here are the lyrics:
I am Astro Bot,
ASTROOO BOOOT,
I am Astro Bot,
I am Astroo Boot,
I am Astro Bot,
ASTROOO BOOOT,
I am Astro Bot,
I am As...tro Boooot.

I'm not that negative about it. Not saying I'm super excited for it or anything, but I'm looking forward to trying the beta if I get the chance.

@get2sammyb You've been hyped recently I noticed. But so am I. Slyyyy, let's gooooo!

That one game that actually sold appreciably and had a high attach rate on PSVR...Christ, Sony.

That one game I'll drop anything else for without even thinking twice. Bring it on.

I'll probably wrap up RE4 Remake in VR2. Also, my Madison VR2 physical edition just came in today. I'll either play that after or, for some vareity, Hubris first.

@Undeadcop No.

@thefourfoldroot1 Believe it or not. I can't stand RE4. I know, I know, I am the rare exception. That said, VR makes (almost) everything better and I am enjoying it for that experience alone.

Finally getting round to Resident Evil 4 in VR.

@Undeadcop Yes.

@Undeadcop No, Tamara is though.

I played the demo and I liked it, but not to the point where I feel the need to buy it right away, or at all for that matter.

@dapersonindaworld the one that thinks every game is one of the best ever and rates games he hasn't even played? lol. Legend though.

Can't effin wait.

The first one is my favorite WRPG of all time. No, I am not joking. Can't wait.

@Undeadcop sure bud, sure.

@zebric21 If a game has pixel perfect frame pacing, it's fine for me on OLED as well. unfortunately, that seems to be a rarity.

@mkr With the newest gameplay they didn't do themselves a favor due to the heavy focus on combat, making it seem like that's the priority. That said, the scenes shown were authentic and the very few examples where you're actually fighting "hordes" in the original as well. I can't wrap my head around whey they made those parts the spotlights though. Also, terrible gun sounds.

@playstation1995 Never ceases to amaze me how you're able to dish out scores for games you haven't played a second of, lol. word up son.

When it first launched, I wasn't satisfied with the experience at all. Occasional dropped frames I could live with, but the stuttering was too much for me. After the next update, stuttering got better but you could clearly see dynamic resolution changes to make up for it. I am really happy with it now. The Portal manages to keep the resolution at max, stuttering has become negligible and only the occasional dropped frames here and there have persisted. That said, still pretty embarrassing that single team third party devs have delivered exactly that for years now.

@Fatewalker iirc, Avatar Frontiers of Pandora already has it on PS5.

@Nem what this game needs to nail more than anything is the atmosphere, which consists of so much more than mere gameplay and optics. The sound design, the tone in the voices of the characters, when silence is used and when it is not and the interplay between sound and camera angles etc. Silent Hill 2 is a very delicate game in that regard and Bloober has tried to somewhat imitate this in their games in the past, but it was very poorly executed. I truly hope Konami and former staff of the originals truly had a close eye on this project as they claimed.

@Undeadcop Maybe. We'll see.

Like the first one. The things it does right are 10/10 level, the things it does wrong are 5/10 level. Did that keep me away from voting 9/10 overall? No, it didn't.

@Nem Disagree. There's a lot that can be messed up in the minute details that made the originals so special.

@AK4tywill I have less of an issue with Bloober when it comes to the technical aspects. I bet this game will look fantastic. However, they claim to take inspiration from psychological horror games such as Silent Hill, but execute it so poorly in their other games. Apparently, the Konami team has had a close eye on this project, but I still remain very skeptical.

I so hope Bloober didn't mess this up.

Glad I played it, because until today I wasn't interested in the slightest. Well, now I am.

@Frmknst Hi Grimwood.

For me, it's similar to the first one in that the game has obvious flaws. And probably more than it should have. However, the things it does well are so effin awesome, you're sometimes willing to put up with the rest that isn't so great.

I was expecting to dive deep into DD2 and play Rise of the Ronin later down the line. I played both of them for an hour or two yesterday and much to my surprise, I'm enjoying Rise of the Ronin way more than I thought I would. Currently "struggling" to decide which to play first since I usually only play one game at a time. Good problem to have.
