Got my invitation a few hours ago. Hell yeah

We're moving backwards now. Meanwhile other publishers are killing PS4 support on their live games...

Let's see if these publishers will keep support for the PS5 until 2035 and beyond...

Late news. I found the game yesterday morning while browsing that horrendous "add you your wishlist" option on PS Store, that is filled with asset flip garbage. I'm planning on getting this again, since i already own it on PC

I thought they were going to talk about Saros...
I couldn't care less about this game, especially a 3rd party multiplatform game. What the ***** are you doing, Sony lol

I hope it gets canned so Sony can learn a lesson. Also, a quick shout out to the three stooges: Jim Ryan, Hermen Hulst and Totoki, for being completely out of touch and for making a bunch of horrible decisions in front of all of us. But a special shout out to Jade Raymond, for still being around in the game industry, even though she can't really put out any decent game for a long time. That's quite a feat

I'll definitely pick this up later this year or next year. I'm pretty sure the game will be as good as the other ones, but i hope they can make a more decent story with less annoying villains

Base PS5 performance included in the review = nice work! Maybe I'll pick this one up eventually. Played the demo, got stuck at a puzzle and stopped because i was too lazy to figure the solution, but performance was indeed decent there, so it's good to know performance is still decent in the full game

Looks cool, but I'm not a huge fan of portable stuff. Apparently Sony is doing 2 SKUs right from the beginning, like Microsoft did with Xbox Series X and S, which is... weird, but i guess i would pick up the most powerful one, i just hope they don't bring a ***** Pro 4 years later.

Having said that, i still want to see what Microsoft will be doing with their next hardware. If they bring PC storefront to their machine and if i can use my Steam account there...then it's bye bye Sony, i guess (if they keep porting their games to PC and if they keep raising the prices of their games in Brazil)

@belmont the review is wrong. I suggest you take a look at Digital Foundry's video about this game's performance on YouTube. PS5 Pro struggles to run this game at a decent framerate, especially in outdoor areas

Gonna pick this up (maybe) when it's on sale on PS5. Price in Brazil is higher than the usual 70 dollars, for some reason (it should cost 350 reais, but it's costing 400 reais here). As for the game itself, I'm pretty sure PS will give the good ol' 7/10 because that's how things go around here. If it's a 8/10 I'll be shocked (I'm being sarcastic, of course, i don't care about reviews, i make my own opinions or read what gamers have to say, not critics)

On Xbox you can ask for refund even if you played the game, if you didn't play it that much. Sony is still quite strict and unfair with their refund policy

Good week. I've got Gears for free since i already got Ultimate Edition on Xbox One in 2015, so I'll test the game on my PC, since i don't own a Series console

I played Shinobi demo and dropped before finishing it. Didn't like it. I still prefer the original game, which i played a lot as a kid, so I'll skip this one

A couple of other games got my attention here. For all criticism i have for this website, i think this kind of articles really help us to keep track of new games, since PS Store is filled with AI asset flip crap

Wow, so surprising! Another 7/10 from Push Square

Once again no mention of base PS5 performance or overall quality in the review. I'm glad Digital Foundry exists, though. It's clear to me that this game is far from being "smooth" in terms of performance, unless you consider constant 50fps or less smooth. Having said that, base PS5 has decent image quality and even better performance than the Pro in outdoor areas, so that's a pro (no pun intended) for me. Since this is another port from Virtuous, though, I'd rather wait to see if there's random crashes or something like that

Whenever a publisher skips PS5 but release their games on PC/Switch combo, i return the favor by not buying anything from them. Only exception to this day was Steamworld Heist 2 (because Steamworld Quest skipped Playstation) and i almost didn't buy it

@KoopaTheGamer agreed with you 100% (I'm talking about your last comment)

I was going to say something but I'd rather keep my sanity and peace intact. However, I'll keep reading the comments, I'll just gonna grab some popcorn brb

@carlos82 both RE games appeared for me as free download. I bought one in one account and the other in another account, back when i was playing on my PS3, and i still managed to grab both for free (since i still have access to both accounts). I think you're doing something wrong or maybe you bought the game in another account, but they're definitely free if you already own them. Maybe you got them already. Anyway, check your purchase history because you can definitely get them free

@shedX75 lol that's actually quite funny (and true)

@Americansamurai1 this. That guy is an insufferable ***** who acts like a teenager fanboy in social media

What they did with AI was pretty ***** and very scummy. This is the kind of stuff that i despise and criticize about AI use. I hope they get sued or something. Having said that, PS review of this game is pretty bad. @Northern_munkey is completely right here

@bizzysgs agree 100% with everything you said. Also, i can't believe I'm agreeing with a lot of stuff Michael Patcher is saying, looks like a bizarre reality I'm living in

Since the last firmware update on my PS5, I've been experiencing a lot of CE-108262-9 errors, especially when browsing the PS Store. The whole thing crashes, kicks me out of the store and the system notifies me that it sent a report to Sony. It happened once while playing a game, which promptly crashed my whole system and made the console turn itself off and once this also happened while i left the console a few minutes idling in the home screen (it also turned itself off). I've seen other users on Reddit complaining about the same issue on the last few weeks, so I'm not the only one. I'm pretty sure this is a software issue but i don't want to reinstall the system, because i don't want to lose all my saves and i refuse to pay for a PS Plus subscription just to do that

Wishlist isn't working. I have to use the PS app on my phone to see the games

The store is FILLED with garbage asset flip AI slop ***** that i refuse to call games, a lot of them being shameless copies of games that are only available on Steam, to the point where the devs of the original game have to report these ***** to Sony so they remove them from their store. This is embarrassing. I can't go into the "add to your wishlist" section of the PS Store without almost throwing up because 80% or more of the games there aren't even games. I mean, some clown made a scam based on that stupid "Tralalelo Tralala" chatgpt crap where you move a cursor from one side to the other side of the screen and everytime you do this you earn one trophy. By this point i think it's fair to say that Sony has surpassed both Nintendo and Steam in terms of horrible shovelware crap or at least they're very close of achieving such feat

They raise the price of their games in Brazil, they raise their PS Plus subscription prices, they remaster a bunch of games that no one asked for and yet they can't even maintain a decent level of quality on their own digital storefront, which is the place where they probably earn more money nowadays on a daily basis...

@ORO_ERICIUS wow, i didn't know that! You're a lifesaver! Thank you so much! When i get back to the game and reach the third region I'll liberate the forts, then. That's gonna save me A LOT of time and sanity. My mental health says thanks to you lol

I'm still playing the first game. I actually had to take a break because it was getting too repetitive for me. I like repetition sometimes, and it's often unavoidable in such games like this, but i think there are other games that did repetition better. I also hate hate hate that the first game have this stupid fog of war map that you have to walk everywhere to clear it. It makes my OCD go wild and i feel forced to walk for 2-3h around like an idiot with my horse just to clear the map. I tried stop doing it but i just can't. That's why i already have +45h in this game and I'm still in the second region and barely made any progress in the main story

I just hope that they at least remove this fog feature in the next game so when i buy it, i won't get crazy

Speaking of buying, this game is costing 400 reais (Brazilian currency) now, which is more expensive than the 60-70 dollar price in USA. At first the game was costing 350 reais, but a month ago they raised the price on most of their 1st party games. I think we all know the reason, but i don't want to delve into this kind of subject AT ALL.

Anyway, since their games is so expensive now in Brazil, i don't have a choice but to skip them all and then (hopefully) get some decent deal by getting physical media around here. Hell, i might even get an used copy now. That's why physical media should never die

Finally something that isn't being hosted by Geoff Keighley. I'm excited to see some RE Requiem, Pragmata e Onimusha. It would be awesome to see some Devil May Cry stuff as well, either a new game or a remake of the first one

Hopefully both RE games will be available to those that bought them on PS3, just like they did with RE Director's Cut. If that's the case, then I'll be able to get them on my PS5

Taking into consideration how expensive games are getting now (at least where i live), I'll take what i can get in terms of length. So yes, more time = higher chance for me to buy the game, especially if it's an JRPG game

@Logonogo nice, good to know! Probably gonna pick this one up when it's on sale. Thanks for the info!

Just wanted to know about performance on base console and it does look like it runs kinda OK. Always good to know that performance is being mentioned in the review and it's taking the most popular hardware into consideration instead of just focusing on the premium hardware. I'll take the PS Store overall "review" (4.44 rating based on +6K reviews at this moment) over this one, though.

@Lup good. I came here yesterday and didn't see this article, even though I've searched and read everything that was posted yesterday and today.

If i just used this website to get my news, i would definitely miss the fact that Hexen + Heretic Remaster just dropped on PS5...

Just came here to search for one thing: performance on base PS5 and i couldn't find that info. Next time, test the game on both systems because not everyone has (or will have) both consoles, it's either one or the other. Guess I'll have to wait DF's video again.

Never heard about this game before, but I'll always wait any timed exclusive to be released on PS5 since i won't be getting this console at all. My support for Nintendo died with the Wii U. Anything from here on out is either emulation or PS5 port

I need interesting exploration with good loot, decent sidequests and fun gameplay (especially on combat). If these things are OK in Starfield, I'll pick it up when it comes to PS5. Oh, i hope they don't gimp PS5's performance just like they did with Doom, otherwise I'll skip this one

"The PS5 Pro will presumably smooth all that out". I'll wait for the DF analysis instead of presuming things. Thanks.

Having arrived here after the updated article, i gotta say, writing stuff like this every time a dev posts something on X will get tiresome very quickly. I know y'all need your clicks to stay relevant, but this is just a bunch of nothing burger with very "out there" speculation.

Yeah, cool. But like i said a few times before, if they're going full multiplatform I'll either get a Xbox or PC next gen. Sony 1st party games price in Brazil are insanely expensive, whereas on PC they're more affordable. I'm tired of paying high price for every game only to see them appear on PC a year later cheaper (let alone those that get the game for free...)

I'm just waiting to see if these games will be 1st party SP titles or the live service ones. If it's the former, I'll be getting either a PC or Xbox next gen, since Xbox games are cheaper in Brazil and i don't want to spend more money

Good to see consoles going strong and helping boosting sales of games like this. Maybe other devs in the future will bring their games on consoles faster. Phasmophobia is another good example of console port selling very well. I'm glad for them

The only Microsoft port I've bought until now is Hi Fi Rush. I was going to buy Oblivion Remastered but i found out that the game is filled with crashes, stutters and horrible performance issues. Not gonna give my money to Microsoft for doing this half assed remaster. Thought about getting Age of Mythology Retold but apparently this game also has technical issues. I wanted to pick up Doom The Dark Ages but I'm aware that performance on both PS5 consoles are worse than the performance on Xbox Series X and i don't have a TV with VRR support, so...

If Microsoft keeps doing these ***** ports, then I'll skip all of their games

I'm waiting to see if Gears will run fine on PS5 because i love this franchise, but I'm sure as hell won't be pre ordering this game

Doesn't matter to us brazilians. Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei already cost 400 reais (80 dollars) here. That's why I won't be buying any future Sony games until they're on deep deep deep deep deep deep deep deep sale, or I'll get a PC in 2027 and buy games there.

Played this game a lot in March and then never touched it again. I even uninstalled from my PS5. It gets repetitive after a while, especially because i played and tested most heroes now and...i don't know...i just find it boring. The matchmaking is pretty bad and the game modes are meh. Don't see myself getting back unless my friends decide to play this thing with me

I was going to buy this one, but then i heard it won't have The War of the Lions content on it, so I'll skip it. And since Square Enix is releasing every PS game in every platform (for financial reasons) I'm still waiting for Bravely Default games - including the remastered one, which until now is EXCLUSIVE ON THE SWITCH 2 - to be released on PS5. After all, they're the ones saying that they're focusing on releasing more games on more platforms...right?

Let me state this in a very clear manner for all of you: this game is now costing 400 reais (brazilian currency) on PS Store, which is NOT the equivalent of 70 dollars. This price is the equivalent of 80 dollars. So, you might me wondering, how much was the game before? Did the price change at all? Yes, it did. It went from 450 reais to 400, which means the game was priced higher than the usual, for reasons i can't explain, and yes, I'm talking about the standard edition. I don't know why the price is so high in Brazil but this change didn't benefit us at all, we're still getting ***** by Microsoft, regardless

Doesn't matter, though, I'll skip this one, gladly. Also, Microsoft has been doing a ***** job with their ports on PS5: Doom Eternal performance is worse on PS5 than Xbox Series X, even on PS5 Pro; Age of Mythology Retold is ***** on PS5, with horrible performance issues (according to reddit), Oblivion Remastered on PS5 received most updates way after Xbox did (until the last update, where the game was finally patched on the same day in all in platforms) and so on. I won't buy or support their stuff if they keep doing ***** like this. The only Microsoft game i got to this day on PS5 was Hi Fi Rush

Never heard of this guy before. Anyway, with only 10% in CPU boost over the base PS5, i think it's unlikely that this will be feasible, especially if the game is CPU bound (which it will probably be). Frame Gen techniques can help, but they're ***** if you're trying to hit 60fps, so you need something above that to get a decent performance without too much input lag and strange on-screen artifacts (Black Myth Wukong is a perfect example on how not to implement FG on a game), which means the game should at least hit 60fps natively for that to happen and you need a higher refresh rate than 60hz. 30fps to 60fps isn't gonna work. You can use VRR with a 120hz refresh rate to kinda help the situation, i think, but having a game like this to hit close to 60fps natively so it can run at a framerate higher than 60fps to avoid input lag and other ***** is too much for me to imagine. Anyway, I'm OK with 30fps.

I really don't see the point of writing an article about these kinds of stuff...? I don't know anything about popcorn buckets but whatever lol

Can't see this happening, but if it does, I'm 100% getting a decent PC or even buying the next gen Xbox in 2027 (or whatever the year PS6 comes out). The reason being that both Xbox and PC sell games cheaper than Playstation does in Brazil. Why spend 400 bucks in a game if a year later said game will be released on PC costing 100 bucks less? The Outer Worlds 2 is costing 455 bucks on PS5 and 400 bucks on Xbox right now...

If Sony wants to "earn more money", then I'll save me some more money and we're good

I'm pretty sure this is coming, but not until later this year. I can wait

Best solution is stop making garbage online only games that will sink faster than Titanic in less than a year. Most of these games are made just to profit on microtransactions
