Yea I've absolutely zero complaints about not getting credits. First.. we've had years of free updates and it's super easy to get loads of credits in the first place.

Sure, if you want every car in the game its a near impossible task but 750k credits isn't going to make a difference trying to collect all the 20m cars in the first place.

I'd much rather not have some credits and get all the last few years of updates without needing to put my hands in my pocket.

"What we can confirm, at least at launch, is that the remake mostly runs exactly as you’d want it to."

DF seems to suggest otherwise with a worse resolution on PS5 pro AND generally worse frame rate.

Also worth mentioning, neither console hit their target frame-rate regardless of mode with any kind of regularity either.

Hopefully patches sort out the performance issues but 40fps when targeting 60 isn't great.

Regardless, I will be buying it day1

I really, really hope truckers MP somehow makes it's way to console too.

It's so good in a convoy and seeing hundreds of other truckers making their way about.

Looks like a Matrix/Cyberpunk rip off.

Well it's safe to say that's a day 1 for me

Can't complain about the constant content updates but it'd be really nice for some new tracks to be added.

“ is it going to be able to match Sony’s subsidised hardware costs?”

Sony hasn’t subsidised hardware since early in the ps4 lifecycle so im a little confused with that repeated claim. You might want to check earlier articles because that info was posted here. Numerous times.

@Imalwaysright "I am saying GTA is bad"

I get opinions are personal and everyone's entitled to one but that's a wild take by nearly every metric. I suggest a name change to imalwayswrong

Jokes aside. Every game it has its faults, GTA has its standout fault with its shooting mechanics and sandbox games are inherently more difficult to control but, compared to its peers with a similar scope - its head and shoulders above the rest.

This game is away to tank so hard.

Seen a few senior exec's have left just prior to the release.

@MARl0 @MJF the literal definition of a remake is not the same game/movie just updated visually.

A remake is updated visuals, and can include changes to the story etc.

My take isn't "dumb" as you put it. You clearly don't understand the word remake.

Here's the first of many definitions of a remake:

"A game remake is a new version of an existing game, typically built from the ground up with updated graphics, gameplay, and sometimes story elements, while still retaining the core identity of the original. It's essentially a reimagining of the original game, often to bring it up to modern standards and appeal to both new and old players. "

@MARl0 What you are asking for literally isn't a "remake" that's a remaster.

@Glorioso Its more than just alive and still very active for a 3 year old game.

I think on the last set of Time Trials (which last usually 2 weeks) around 200k players placed a time and there's plenty who don't even bother with the time trails and just play offline - so to speak - or just do daily's or Sport mode.

@Northern_munkey yea I totally get it. It's a shame cause the triggers are really good on a dualsense and gives good immersion for ABS kicking in it's just the more hardcore Sims are just too twitchy with a pad using sticks.

That and manual gearing is fiddly 🤣

@Northern_munkey yes I do, used to play iRacing and GT with a wheel but with limited time I now mostly play GT7 on a pad so the rig is folded up in a cupboard.

Fwiw I used to play GTR2 on pc with a controller so it's possible

@QwarktasticLombax And you think this will be any more playable than AC without a wheel?

It's no wonder Bungie are the mess they are with those sums of money being bandied around. Just pure greed.

Rebirth deserves it but I've a feeling it'll be Astrobot.

No issue with that as it was an excellent game.

Still broken 🤣

@Nakatomi_Uk are you perhaps loading from sleep mode as it only goes through fully when it's in a powered down state.

@Keyblade-Dan there is unfortunately for the iconic PS1 launcher "Sony computer entertainment" bit anyway as that's part of the ps5 boot process and would require different firmware from the base to remove it if users didn't like it and wanted to go back to the default launcher.

There's no way you can pick and choose that at a whim. It's baked in to the firmware update released a day or so ago.

There's no reason however, not to keep the themes as they run at "run time' so can be changed at user discretion.

@Darude84 Good find.

I've been waiting to get Silent Hill 2 and was going to pull the trigger if it wasnt on Black Friday.

I guess now's the time.

Currently playing Judgement at the moment (already have it on disk but cant be bothered fishing it out) so I guess I need to get a move on.

@khyal Rather than being a news piece, this story is an opinion piece presented as facts. Some pretty biased language throughout. Very, very poor.

Wish I could give this article a thumbs down just for that.

It was good, well put together but it didn't grip me as much as SM

Gameplay etc was really good again but the story was a bit underwhelming.

Maybe it's not the burnout of ps ports.

It's maybe the sequels mentioned are just more of the same and have lost the wow and pull factor the originals had.

I personally felt both Ragnarok and HFW were both excellent sequels but they just lacked the charm of the first titles.

Bear way to put it was that they felt like ubisoft games. Full of padding.

Both were a slog end game.

Cheers for the spoilers lads. Much appreciated.

The "small game" that'll probably be a bigger success than his? Salty much?

@Mustoe That's good that you are sticking to your principles but the online requirement was needed as part of the deal for the FIA stuff if you believe what was behind the reasoning and you are missing out on a good GT game because of something that has little effect in reality.

Its not ideal if you are ever without internet but it is what it is.

But all the power to you for sticking to your guns.

@TheDaddyOtaku @Mustoe you realise they released a patch for GTS so that online is is not a requirement now the servers are down.

The same will happen with gt7 I suspect.

Rumour has it that it'll be circuit gille villeneuve being added. It's been discussed as a "leak" for months now so it'd make sense to announce it in Montreal.

Target 60 but not essential for some games.

Some slower paced games play perfectly fine at 30. Racing games and shooters HAVE to be 60.

Oddly enough FF7 Rebirth, for a fast paced game plays brilliantly at 30. So much so that I've sacrificed the framerate for the higher res.

Back in the day it (for PC anyway) it was games like Unreal Tournament and Quake 3, which were live service titles before that buzzword became a thing due to the modding community releasing maps and mods regularly.

Point being, while Fortnite its not for me (its a pretty good game tbf, well the no build side is anyway), if kids are enjoying these games then what's the problem?

There's always going to be a market for big SP games.

Online games have always been a time sink due to their competitive nature one way or another so its no surprise to see them sitting tall for engagement.

If you went back 15-20 year when I was mostly on PC my highest engagement games would have been:

UT/UT2k4
SA:MP or whatever it was called back then (The unofficial precursor for GTA: Online)
PES Launcher to play PES games in a competitive league
CoD2

All multiplayer, live service games before when the work was done by the modders rather than devs .

The only reason its such a big thing on console since PS4 is because the online services were basic back then and developers didn't bother/didn't think they'd get away with selling/drip feeding content every month or two.

It was always on the cards when you think about it, it just took the right technology to allow it for console gaming.

Single player games arent going anywhere unless EVERYONE stops buying them.

Didn't see all this coming. No siree.

Wonder what the interest rates are, will no doubt fleece a few suckers with this one.

Cool boarders? Ohh awesome. I remember playing that on one of the demo discs back in the day. Will have to fire that up

Instead of playing the long, steady and stable game they're just playing the "all in" cards and hoping for the best.

Let's see how that works out.

@SacredPYRO It wont be a "studio" it'll be a one man band scam outfit.

Blurry mess is a stretch to say the least.

It's not perfect but it's hardly game breaking. Making it sound like cyberpunk OG release.

@Splat Something something Randy from South Park

There's little point blocking capture direct on PS5 given lots use capture cards anyway.

Interesting question this one....
Switch 2 do you:

Own
Thinking of buying
Not interested
N/A

The whole PC hardware section is bobbins too, do you own a monitor or a mouse or a keyboard.

Intern on their first day left to create this survey?

Completed it either way but those questions made me do a double take.

Bungie is a really weird company.

First, they get bought out from MS then they manage to buy themselves back to get creative freedom then Sony buy them.

It strikes me as a leadership that doesn't know what it wants and incredibly, Sony seemingly let Bungie direct their live service drive based on their work with Destiny.

Madness.

Sammy, you are from the UK. Please don't call it Soccer. It's Football.

Surprised this patent has been approved given games often have a chapter select or boss fight replays anyway.

Great game but GoW 2018 or whatever it was surpasses it imo. Sure, it's bigger and there's more to it but it didn't bring the same joy the first brought and felt like a bit of a slog at times. I don't recall that same feeling with 2018 was a much tighter experience.

Same goes for HZD and Forbidden West fwiw.

If Sony want a live service title to work its going to need to be multiplatform imo.

Nope, not a chance it launches on PS4/xbone.

PS4 is creaking as it is and for those that mention switch 2 is rumoured so will make it to PS4. Difference being switch 2 will have DLSS to upscale images using AI.

PS4 doesn't have that luxury atleast not on a hardware level.

It's not happening.

I'm staggered of the career she's had given her 2nd game was Rise Of The Robots. (even if it was just a thanks)

Would have had that as a career killer right there.

Its odd that no one moaned about the Final Fantasy Pixel remasters having separate launchers for every game. What's the problem here?

@Fight_Teza_Fight couldn't agree more. All they do is annoy regular people and not the decision makers.

I'd get behind them more but when you see them holding up ambulances etc it's rather satisfying watching someone drag them rather vigorously off the road.
