Worth adding that none of the devs at Saber were involved with this, one of the guys confirmed it on Twitter, in an oddly shady post.

@showface Please go outside.

As always, the issue is shareholders and chasing a golden goose. Making a game that is good should be the most important thing but games that are good don’t always make a profit. And even making a profit isn’t enough for shareholders, they want long-term returns and that’s why we end up with battle passes and live service guff.

@Werehog I think I have magical powers at this point. Anything I play is at just the wrong time 😂

I kinda fell off Borderlands 3 like 80% of the way through it after platinuming 2 and TPS. Probably a good idea waiting for this to be fully done before grabbing it cheap too, I’d rather have a choice of all the Vault Hunters.

With Marvel Rivals having the world’s most boring stall heal meta, I wouldn’t be shocked if people went back to Overwatch. I’m not sure I could go back, I played a ridiculous amount of it before they sort of destroyed it. The downside of free-to-play is that the stakes are lower for people too, they can just make a new account if they’re banned. I had some of the worst abuse I’ve ever suffered in a game and they were bragging over comms that there was no point reporting them cause they’d just make a new account.

It’s a good idea. If a game allows a child to spend additional money with minimal safeguards then it really isn’t suitable for 3 year olds. At that point you might as well just let your kid loose on eBay.

@Leetware1 He says himself that it’s more about having the AI protections that the unions fought for. An individually negotiated contract would make it a lot harder for him to protect himself from those situations than having the might of a union that was on strike for 11 months to fight for these protections.

Good. He’s taking a stand which is the right thing to do. Workers fought for their rights for generations to get to this point and we are stronger together.

Fully back this lawsuit, we used to be able to buy download codes from other sites which meant you weren’t fully tied to Sony prices. Plus, digital games should be cheaper as there are no manufacturing costs.

Cop out answer but ‘it depends’. Art direction matters most but if that art direction includes ray tracing then it can look lovely.

It’s remarkable how these megacorps can make record profits while ordinary people are struggling to pay bills, and yet they still just have to increase prices.

Good that it was withdrawn. You can’t claim ownership over an already-existing term.

@NorrinRadd I really loved the game on a revisit. But it was that broken. Completely and utterly broken. Cyberpunk rightly got clowned on for the same thing.

What an odd article. That level of pettiness would harm Sony more than Microsoft and it’s not as if it would even affect that many units.

@HRdepartment Seems like all you get now are the boozy arcades with £15 cocktails and vaguely irritating staff members. Even then, all they’ll have is a couple of repro cabinets and a Stern pinball machine. The best bit about going to the cinema with my high school was that the place they chose had a proper arcade included with Mario Kart Arcade, DDR, Time Crisis, a pool table and then some Jurassic Park thing under a curtain that looked terrifying. There just isn’t the infrastructure in the UK for arcades these days.

The ragdoll physics look absolutely hysterical, I actually fancy this one but on deep discount.

Funnily enough it was Ben who got me back into wrestling thanks to the Triple Jump streams of that mental Here Comes The Pain roster with legends like Billy Ray Walrus and Neil Buchanan.

I genuinely thought this would be a matter for Trading Standards. I just don’t see how it can be legal.

@Neither_scene There’s also the fact that downloading anything pirated carries risk and also these games are hitting 100GB+ and torrenting that is a ballache and not worth the effort compared to legitimate sources. There’s crackers out there claiming victory over Denuvo but it requires you to turn off secure memory and I cannot stress enough how bad an idea that is if you care about security at all.

I did The Lion King through RetroAchievements instead and it’s hard as balls. Didn’t play Aladdin yet though!

@Brigurugi Bungie admitted plagiarism. Pull your head out your arse.

@Brigurugi She’s been posting art in this style since 2016. It’s more likely that those other ‘influences’ you mention were inspired by her instead.

Such a shame given how much RGG have completely sh*t the bed. They need some competition.

I don’t get why they gave it a PS Blog post. Do Sony not vet anything?

Genuinely thought this was illegal in the UK.

@rjejr Kena’s coming to Switch as well and I’m pretty sure that had Sony funding.

Darkslides were in Skate 3. The fact it took 3 seasons to add them is mental. I just do not understand why they couldn’t have put the resources into a paid game with a real structure and progression.

Unfortunately it’s the same structure as eFootball. Which is irritating because that game genuinely has more fun gameplay than FIFA but there’s nothing to do. This will be the same.

@ApostateMage Try it now because this is the way the game was always meant to be played. Give Ubisoft their due, these patches are absolutely revolutionising their older games without making you pay for a remaster. I know the multiplayer is divisive but it’s perfectly playable solo and I assume there will be a hell of a lot of people returning to it now.

Personally I love how chill these games are. There are a million high-octane driving games, my favourite bit is just cruising around the map.

Utterly bizarre. Been using a DS4 for years with PC only needing DS4Windows with older non-Steam games. The DualSense drivers I’ve had no issue with. This is extra money for a cable which used to come with controllers as standard.

If they don’t release their live service games on PC then the entire idea is doomed. Therefore I support them not coming to PC.

Holy f**k this is good news. I really hope more people revisit this one and realise that after the fixes it’s genuinely one of the best games in the franchise.

@Shaun2018098 Would be annoyed if that happened, I finally got the platinum for Revelations last week 😂

A rogue Calvin Dyson cameo! Mad, been watching his videos on Bond for years.

Currently playing the multiplayer trying to finally get the platinum for the original. Better get a move on!

I buy what’s cheapest. Often that’s secondhand discs which isn’t included in studies like this.

Season resets is a truly horrible idea. Did they not learn from MLB The Show?

Louis Cunningham is really good in Marie Antoinette. He’s also literal Luxembourgish royalty. The UK acting scene everyone!

They absolutely bastardised THPS4. Still not over that. One of the greatest disappointments I’ve ever experienced with a game.

@MinerWilly Neither Hideo Kojima or Square Enix are employees of Sony…?

Still gutted at missing out on a placement at Media Molecule during uni cause of Covid. None of us that year got a placement, they had to just cancel it and turn it into a 4 year course.

Bring back Artemis. Gamers will relate to her, she’s an eternal virgin.

@DarianStarfrog He-Man. More like He/Him-Man 😡😡😡

Rrrrr pronouns 😡😡😡

@johncalmc I don’t understand why they would put so much effort into the visual and sound design and then make the actual game be you running around opening boxes while getting shot at. That’s the gameplay loop.

The use of that comparison shows that Digital Foundry are no longer to be trusted. That’s blatantly misleading advertising on Sony’s behalf to sell Pro consoles. Guess that’s what happens when basically all websites are owned by the same people, this, DF, Eurogamer, IGN, VGC and RPS are all part of the same conglomerate.

Pablo Sanchez the GOAT

Played a bit of the server slam. It’s a game that doesn’t know what it is. Why put that much effort into lore and style and all that, then introduce the world’s least engaging gameplay loop? That UI is AWFUL too. It’s not a game made for people to play. It’s a game for journalists to look at.

That is bafflingly terrible. How much did this cost? It’s genuinely an SNL skit. The flat colour and atrocious framing just make it even less exciting.
