@playstation1995 That'd be great. Minus the Phil Spencer part.

I'm so tired of this.

@lacerz No one had that expectation then, but today, when all the tech is pretty much on the same page and interconnected, you can't tell me that. The reason it was a thing in the past was because of tech limitations. Figuring how to make such thing work today is basic stuff.

@Synthatron_Prime My mistake. Don't know why I didn't think of that. I eventually learned Sony only owns the rights for the movies, not the games as well.

I never cared about any of the other departures. Lazlow going away? That's big. This is the guy that gave the tone to all the games R* put out in the past 20 years, which is like, all of them? It was his writing, his direction, everything. I sure hope he put the right people at the helm in his stead, but I for one am positive there will be a drop in quality at least on the GTA front in what regards the cynical world-building elements, you know, what makes GTA great. Huge loss.

I'm thankful for everything he's done, though and I'm sorry to hear it's on such heart-breaking terms that he has to leave, the personal problems he's having with his family and all. Hope he finds peace of mind.

What about PS4 games that are re-released on PS5? Like the Overcooked edition that comes with both games and all DLC? Will I not be able to play that with the DS4, but be able to play those games with the DS4 if I buy them for the PS4 separately?

This is a mess.

Recall how they started out the generation making fun of MS with how easy it is to share games between friends on PlayStation? Where is that simplicity here? Their FAQ page on games and peripherals compatibility will be a joke.

It's a tough job for the average consumer to know which property belongs to which entity. People know not to expect Mario or Zelda to make an appearance on Xbox and PS systems, but are puzzled when hearing Spider-Man can't leave the PS ecosystem.

A solid B. I was very very down on Valhalla after seeing the footage that leaked. People kept saying one should not judge a game by leaks, but it turned out the purpose of that video was to cut footage and insert it into the presentation so it was indeed the real deal.

BUT...

The walkthrough they did with the commentary and all convinced me that although in essence it's similar to the past two games, there're plenty new things, main one being how grounded the combat is right now. I'm back on board and looking forward to playing it.

Despite the leaks it was still enjoyable to watch. I give it a B, because half of the event was me trying to log in to their platform to get the goodies while their servers collapsed. That was not fun.

For a second I thought those were RC cars, lol.

@kyleforrester87 Oh noes.

How does this work? Do you hold on a button or... ?

Tacky.

There needs to be a legit reason for this, which is why I'll wait for more details before passing judgement instead of pretending I know everything.

I wonder if you need a stand for that, too, though. Why else would they show it resting horizontally on a stand still then and not just resting on a surface with the stand?

Can't tell exactly from the renders, but the console doesn't appear to be flat on neither of the sides.

Are we still debating this? Jesus. It has already been clarified. At launch only 100 or so PS4 games will benefit of the power of the PS5, but the thousands of games available via BC at launch, won't. You'll need to install those on a normal external HDD. It's the exact same story as for the XSX.

This is the retopologized version of that scene with baked maps and lighting, lol.

It was a plain insult to claim that was gameplay even during the post reveal interview. I, at least, felt played after all the marketing campaign emails from Ubisoft and Xbox I got spammed with screamed "COME SEE GAMEPLAY".

Anyways, what can I do? Like a tool, I will wait for the proper thing and eventually buy the game.

Had a problem with Ezio's birthdate, but other than that, nailed it. 🔥

After what they pulled with the canon in Odyssey, they can't just leave it like that.

The day they ditch present-day sections is the day that game will not be called Assassin's Creed. Well said, @keihtg. I'd rather them improve it until they get it right, instead of giving that up. Either way, it's always been, unfortunately, way too little of it in the past recent games, so why are people complaining?

I really hope they are confident enough to put canon stuff back into the main game and don't ditch it under the rug like they did with Fate of Atlantis, which was phenomenal.

I want one full white.

Ha! Can't wait! I love me some good 4K Saints Row action!

@youreyesonly00 Did you?

Next-gen last gen was so exciting. This is all so lame. And not just Sony. Nothing about next-gen sounds exciting thus far.

I hope the creators get to keep their hard work and access it privately. Otherwise I'm glad this is happening. For Dreams to be worth purchasing, in my opinion, it should have original content made by community, not hundred of tasteless platformers all trying to copy existing IPs.

But there was this bit where you could play PS4 games off of an external HDD. Is that for all PS4 games? Does this 100 games at launch limitation apply only if you want to play them on the PS5's SSD?

As always, Microsoft pushes accessibility, while Sony is stubborn to make sacrifices in order to break new ground and further optimize their hardware.

@get2sammyb Update the article with a follow back from the sad fanboy where he claims this has all been a farce. It's still a sad thing to do, but that's not even his room.

There are a lot of people outside this industry sharing empty impressions left and right. You can't just generalize it. You don't know what's actually going on over there. If true hope there's fresh pressure on management to tone things down. It worked for when it happened with Rockstar.

It all amounts how passionate some employees are. In most cases no one forces them to stay. And the rest feel compelled to follow suit. When you work depends on other colleagues it creates this chain and you simply can't go ''yeah, well I worked my hours for today".

There are many employees who've got no one to go back home for. So they fill the void with work. There're so many shades to this whole thing. Nothing's black or white. You can't just talk about a group of people and treat them as a whole. There are individual situations with each of them. And not just in the games industry, but everywhere.

This needs a COVID19 DLC.

I mean, my PS4 backlog is f*cking huge. If they need to delay next-gen altogether, please do. People first. I can hold out for at least another year until I run my current catalogue of games dry.

But still, f*ck this virus.

If these were in the header of the website, they keep doing that. They have a shed load of unused branded artworks they just cycle over and over on their website.

Every time something new is incoming from them they change their SM profile pictures and covers. This is not it.

But hey! New wallpaper!

A long time ago Sony boasted how they put only great games up for free via PS Plus. Their criteria is an average of 7 on Metacritic.

As it turns out they still at it. You have a 9 game and a 5 game, their score averaging 7. XD

Can't wait to get to it!

Started the series fresh for the first time with 0 a while ago. Just beat Kiwami 2 and now I'm doing a clean up of sub-stories, cabaret, colisseum battles and clan creator.

@Ralizah Microsoft actually does a lot of it with Game Pass Quests and its Microsoft Rewards system should you use Edge and Bing everywhere.

I made the transition two days ago and there's virtually no difference between Edge and Chrome. Installed every single extension I had and you can easily port passwords and what not to Edge. Bing isn't bat either, especially when you passively make points off of it.

Of course, it takes a lot to earn the points, but if you forget about it you'll rack up a lot passively. You can use them for sweepstakes, gift cards, Game Pass subs or charities.

I only skipped through the video. I didn't get whether this is a live service game or single player. Which one is it?

@RBMango I feel you.

And yeah, that's standard PR machine talking.

I'm really worried about next gen. With Godfall and today, Outriders... Shouldn't be judging next gen only be these two games, but I really want to see some gameplay innovation. And maybe there is. We'll see on Thursday what the real shtick is with Outriders when they show gameplay.

@RBMango This level of cynicism pisses me off, but I can't blame you either... Hope this won't be the case.

Can't think of a better place to play this than on a Vita.

Noted, 75 Strangers & Freaks missions.

Ha, I read it as keep buying their games whenever they release. That alone is an achievement, too, because of how great their games are.

Yeah, it was a smart acquisition. Excited to see what the future holds for them.

Word. It's the most memorable thing of the decade for me. Most mechanics are obsolete and outdated by now, but I still enjoy being in that world. Hopping back online is always like going out for a walk in the park to relax. And it adds so much more to the experience when you are aware of all the references the environment and radio stations make to other things. Can't have enough of the gags on radio.

So GTA Online: The Movie.

Huh, they think they are going to get me with that?

...OF-F******-COURSE THEY ARE!

Would be funny if at the end of the movie he gets patched out, haha!

_{Language please! - Quintumply}

Don't know if I'm the minority or not, but throwing my two cents in:

This game was advertised as a massive RTX tech demo — it looked fantastic in all the videos Nvidia put out. I also watched DF's tech analysis on it. I have no desire to play it on non-RTX hardware. When I get to play it, I want to have all of that available, hence the reason I skipped on it.

@Flaming_Kaiser While my comment was misleading, I didnțt mean specifically of RP with the Vita. Been using it a lot on other devices lately. Best match is using my iPad.

I don't mind as long as they greatly improve Remote Play and PlayStation Now next gen. xCloud is in BETA right now and it already works better than anything I've tried so far.

Because unlike the head of Famitsu and TGA's Geoff Keighley, they didn't get to cameo in the game. Butthurts.

Look at what perfect scores and awards hand over fist brings you, but y'all be giving it lower than 10 scores.

@get2sammyb There are tons of mechanics as we've seen, but I'm not sure if there's enough context for them throughout the game. Embargo lifts in two days and I can't wait to see what everyone has to say about it and prove me wrong.

All I can compare this game to right now, though, is Red Dead Online's Stew Bowl challenge.

How can people be excited for this when the gameplay loop is still unclear. I mean, I know they showed an hour of gameplay, but if that's all you do...

This trailer was my last hope they would show more biomes. Guess it's just moss environments from start to end.

Two more days!

@OscarHTX PS4 Pro was also deemed a retail nightmare.

I have to say, I don't favor this scenario. But I don't think PS5 will be $499. They'll be losing way too much money. This is why they may release two models, to satisfy both the people who can't afford it and those who can.

@Scollurio Who says anything about splitting? Games will just not look as good on the base consoles as the main one, but it will run the same games.

I reckon they will launch with two models. They'll have an incredibly powerful line-up of fresh announced next-gen exclusive games from their most popular IPs, then they'll drop the bomb: "You want all these? You can get this base PS5 model, which has minimum RTX capability, OR, the real next-gen deal, a proper enhanced PS5 console, which is $150-$200 more." The latter not to be confused with the mid-gen incremental update. Pretty grim, I know. But I sense it.
