Re: Crimson Desert Looks 'Rough' on Base PS5, Here's 25 Minutes of Direct Capture Footage

@Propaperpusher Sadly we didn't get any PS5 review code prior to release: https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2026/03/site-news-wheres-our-crimson-desert-ps5-review

We now have PS5 review code and we're working on an initial hands on based on PS5 Pro, but review will take some time unfortunately.

Game is huge and we've only just been able to start playing (alongside all of you).

We won't review PC code and label it a PS5 review.

Re: Shenmue 3 Enhanced Brings Big Upgrades and Must-Have Collector's Editions to PS5

@dskatter There's no upgrade path, no. Different publisher.

EDIT: As pointed out below, it turns out I'm completely wrong: https://iningames.com/blogs/news/yu-suzuki-and-inin-games-announce-shenmue-iii-enhanced-unveiling-at-gamescom-2025

"Owners of the original Shenmue III on PS4 and PC will be offered an upgrade path to the Enhanced Edition, with details coming soon."

No further details in THIS announcement, though.

Re: Round Up: Crimson Desert Reviews Are a Major Disappointment

@CptFancyPants Depends on the context you're looking at it with. Clearly it's not a bad game at all, but there's no denying this was shaping up to be the next big thing, so expectations were certainly high.

I think from that context you'd still have to say it's a disappointment. (Doesn't mean it's bad or that people won't really enjoy it!)

It sounds a little bit like I expected, which is maybe doing too much.

I hope everyone who's looking forward to it enjoys it.

Wished we could have brought you our review but we will not play on non-PS5 hardware for reviews. It puts us at a disadvantage sometimes, but we can't in good faith bring you a "PS5 Review" if we didn't play it on PS5. It is what it is.

Re: Nvidia Says You're All 'Completely Wrong' About Its Controversial AI Upscaler DLSS 5

@Fiendish-Beaver Important to note I'm not hating on anything. In fact I've said multiple times now that I appreciate this is still a work in progress, I'm sure the product will improve, and perhaps these are just bad examples.

I'll go back to what I said originally, based on what I've seen so far, I think it is changing the artistic intent for the worse. That's my opinion, and it's not based in outrage because it's what I thought the first time I saw these, long before all the insults and anger started flying.

Whether these are bad examples or will improve I don't know. I can only comment on that when Nvidia releases more examples.

That's my genuine opinion.

@Neither_scene This is one of the biggest stories in gaming of the year so far I'd argue, it'd be crazy to ignore it.

AMD has been playing catch-up to Nvidia for ages, and you'd be foolish to think they're not exploring similar technology. (Heck, I daresay Sony itself is even looking at stuff like this.)

I would agree with you its tangential, but it is still relevant to the wider context of gaming, just like how if Nintendo introduces a new paradigm like the Switch, that has an impact on PlayStation and should be discussed.
