Without monthly discounts and monthly games, there is no point in the lowest 9,99$ plan. Lots of people will be able to catch up on their backlogs without new monthly games. With games still having online trophies, this is becoming a pay-to-platinum business.
When will this sad era of incomplete games end? Companies now start to use "Patch notes" announcements as a form of advertising for their games lol ... It came out with lots of bugs but hey, buy it still, it's fixed now
yeah, all of them Devs claim they "want to get it right", yet tkey keep hurling patches post-release like all other AAA titles which claimed they will "get it right" (looking at you, Horizon FW)
23 years ago, in GT2 you could get those super-limited special cars by completing some exceptional challenges...but they were obtainable. These days it's all about eternal grind or spending money on top of the 99EUR price tag. What an era to be alive...
There isn't really much use for the Vita store anyway. No discounts, no PS+ games to be given to members, no new titles added (that 1 indie game per year won't stir the waters anyway).
Despite all those praises, this still is a title which more-or-less will be played in sub-4k@60fps by majority. Will there ever be an AAA game with native 4k@60 to trully represent "next-gen" ?
These games began to go down the drain with the 2013 Tomb raider, simply because of less exploration and more "kill-em-all" COD-style elements...just saying.
I have ongoing plans never to support cashgrabing rushed projects like this, no matter how many patches they throw at it. You simply don’t buy a new car and wait for the manufacturer to add all components necessary for it to work.
How is it that pre-PS3 era games didn’t need patches (couldn’t even receive any in fact)? What is this unfinished rubbish that’s being released these days? Companies promising patches? Who cares? How am i gonna patch/play my physical 60€ game in 15 years from now ? Imho in cases like this and Cyberpunk there should be a complete re-release with all being patched up & the current version refunded.
Wondering, why is this an issue at all...certainly wouldn't call it a debacle...Cyberpunk 2077 was a debacle...not this. Oh I'm so shocked someone got the chance to burn their 60$ sooner than the others.
@SweetSummerShunv releasing a console provides a certain "guarantee" the games throughout its lifecycle will run fine. Releasing a pre-built PC won't promise you any solid gaming experience beyond 2 years after it's purchase However...it would be a funny term analogy ... PC Workstation for the office VS PC PlayStation for playing
It's like on a concert when you waste like 2 hours with this pre-group before Metallica comes on stage. To me, this is merely an appetizer what GT7 will bring
@MakersMark my point was to say that there are way too many fancy tech features for the devs to be implemented these days...yet the console HW is obviously not capable to handle all of them at once. Im not a PC gamer (have modest gaming laptop and 9 consoles). What I would like to see is a game optimized for console use at day 1. I don't care what HW is used for development. From the end-user point of view that should really be not relevant. With PS5 and XBOX X being priced like they are, we should be provided with games that do not need settings fiddling and/or performance compromises. Was really hoping next-gen would be about enjoying of all those fancy tech perks on a 4k TV without any cuts or compromises.
Honestly...this generation of games feels so very much weird...it was not so log ago, when it was pretty much a guarantee a console game would run at its optimised best possible settings when popped in a console. Tweaking and tampering with settings used to be the fetish of PC gamers I don't want to make compromises between framerate/raytracing or resolution on a 600EUR console.
Ah, I miss those good old days when games quality was measured by the fun factor, not by hectolitres of blood, loot boxes and tons of used ammo :/ Wish they would bring back the glory of Ape Escape, Jak & Daxter, Kula World, Twisted Metal, Syphon Filter and the likes of those...
Its just sad that they present NaughtyDog primarily as creators of TLOU instead of crediting them for Crash Bandicoot and Jak & Daxter….Insomniac should be remembered for Spyro as well…
Nintendo has been charging big bucks for recycled IP for decades...yet Sony gets all the hate in 2021. C'mon, they need to make up for those Cyberpunk refunds in some way...
Is it just me or hardly any developers know how to actually implement the dualsense features into the games? Appart from Astro pre-installed on PS5, no game seems to take proper advantage of that. Sony wanted to go the Nintendo way at least a few yards with adding playability/enjobable features to the next gen but all those studios just focus on 60fps/4k and day-one patches...seems they dont give two f*cks about the PS5 features that separate it from the pre-previous gen...
what do they mean by "full integration" ? IMHO voicechat-only is not full integration...considering text messaging...well...dualshock is not exactly qwerty-friendly, right?

Re: Gran Turismo 7's PS5, PS4 Platinum Will Be Time Consuming But Attainable
Having a digital copy, 2 accounts and 2 consoles might solve the online winning part, right? Like it does on NFS Underground...and Flatout for ex.
