Do yourself a favour and turn on Russian VoiceOver. It does add to world authenticity.

Would take "super FPS" over "super resolution" any day. When TV pixels are squeezed to the size of being indistinguishable, resolution becomes an empty word. Dynamics (FPS) and world details is what matters

Give me haptics. Let me feel every step I make. So I could play with eyes closed

@LiamCroft You know, working remotely you don't have to leave the bed to write.

@BrainHacker That's a misconception that we won't be able to play future Bethesda games. We aren't married to the console. And Microsoft makes games easily accessible via GamePass.

My disappointment is that there won't be a PS5 optimised version. With haptics and instant loading. But of course I will be able to play it. Through XCloud on GamePass, if nothing else 😊 However, the desire to play future Bethesda games did decrease.

Isn't it a known fact that retail software sales constitute especially large proportion for Nintendo? Given that the comparison is meaningless.

@Ogbert It doesn't actually matter, why. People do pay full price, as is evident from quarterly reports. Microsoft has yet to prove that putting a game which costs north of $100m to make on GamePass will pay off.

People will still be buying PS5 games (that is, I expect the platform to maintain top revenue among consoles) and additionally they will be getting MS exclusives for cheap. It is Xbox as a console that has to worry, as their revenue stream will be cut, at least in the first few years.

Unlike music and video, games as a subscription service has yet to prove its profitability.

@Total_Weirdo Sony explicitly said they don't believe subscription would pay off developing big AAA titles. That's the difference.

@nessisonett Trailer ends with announcement that it will be available on game pass, day one. And it can be played via XCloud, internet speed permitting

I think those are videos from internal bug reports which were stolen when CDPR's network was breached.

@Mellors86x
That's not how pricing works. People got used to buying games around £60, so it stays there, regardless of media. Obviously, publishers are trying to nudge it higher, hence £70 is becoming the new norm. The only way prices are going to fall is gamers stopping buying games priced at £70. It doesn't seem to be happening.

@OmegaStriver Waiting is good, as there are still numerous bugs to be sorted out.

The game is rather good. Power fantasy done right, through the whole campaign.

However, the end game turned out to be anything but. Even disregarding the bugs, you are a weakling, grinding endlessly for the gear that will allow you to kill trash mobs a bit faster. Until you max up your build, the combat becomes a slog. And you won't be able to play the way you want, as there are few viable builds with viable abilities, the rest is being useless. In short, not fun at all.

Looks like Ubisoft's future is EA's past

That's the thing about reviews: they aren't popularity contest. Your score may not be widely accepted, but it must be right.

So far, I'm on board with the scores Push Square is assigning. Thank you!

Been a PC gamer for life myself, until I bought a PS4 in 2014. And I got hooked with hassle-free gaming. I can just turn on the console and start playing. Not spend hours in game configs and graphics drivers settings to fix a frame drop in a single area of the game. So, I dropped PC gaming altogether.

TL;DR: it's not just exclusives

Prediction: Sony will win.

I see from the comments that for many it is hard to understand why disks in retail may cost less than digital copies which aren't physically produced.

First, nothing is priced at the cost. Everything is priced at the market rate, and you drop the price down to move more copies.
Second, retail stores have more immediate competition from second hand games market. They have to drop prices. But PSN is affected by that as well. That's why older games are offered for less there.

Looks cool! Too bad I can't force myself to play any game in BR genre.

Is up to game developers to patch the game, not Sony. What Sony can do is to follow Microsoft's lead in allowing for FPS boost in compatible games, that requires no patching. I'm strongly against doing fake HDR though, because it is guaranteed to break original artistic vision.

The policy it seems is aimed at free to play games. And Epic has no choice but to play by the rules set by Sony, because PSN is their biggest moneymaker.

@Don Savvy Chinese gamers will most likely use a foreign account to buy games without the government restrictions.

I bought it because I liked Automata, and because I think Yoko Taro is a genius. There will be no negative surprises for me as I spent hours of watching the original gameplay, so I'm happy with the purchase.

But I wonder why won't PushSquare buy themselves a copy? Is it a policy to only play publisher-provided games?

@TrueAssassin86x What you call supporting is a huge amount of work. Unless the game was designed from inception to be very portable, moving it from PS3 to PS4 will cost a lot of money.

Back in the day I purchased the complete edition, but never got to play it. Now I have PS5 and stopping myself from playing it in hopes that remaster, or a simple frame rate unlock, isn't far off.

@God_of_Nowt Give your young lady Demon's Souls, if that's appropriate. It will teach patience 😊

@vyseofhr Are those charts based solely on retail? Then PS5 contribution will be limited by the digital version of the console.

Have you seen the charts? That’s your answer (no)

@Adge You can play solo through everything and game doesn't match you to other people unless you initiate matchmaking on your own.

I'm playing solo and enjoying it thanks to nice difficulty (it gets hard, but not overwhelmingly so)

I think the title is wrong, there's no contradiction. Running the service is unsustainable, as your only source of income is a modest subscription fee, as you don't release your own games outside. Sony and others meanwhile can enjoy cool millions for directly selling their games to the service, as Microsoft is trying to boost subscription level.

I think this is the first 60 FPS trailer, that is the one that has some 60 FPS gameplay sequences.

Will be waiting for your review guys before buying.

This game is going to be day 1 purchase for me. I enjoyed the demo and can see the potential. Most import, this is a kind of game that I like, shooter with awesome powers.

Would be nice to have Bluepoint do something with it. Just saying.

@naruball Sony has every right to ignore Nintendo Switch. The companies target very different audiences who want different things from their games. Just look at headliners. This should be clear. Of course, there are some who would buy only one console, but there are those who buying both. In the end those overlaps don't really matter, because the core audience is very different.

I don’t get why Australians would want to keep that board around

@Vyns The big question what profit, if any, they are making on it? For the whole 2020 Microsoft was expanding the service aggressively, even offering subscription for as low as $1. That's what you do when you need to grow numbers now in hopes of payoff some time in the future.

Consider that a hit game brings in profit in tens of millions. Having that opportunity next to what they are making will always create a pressure to just go and take it now. After all, it is a publicly trading company, and they cannot afford their entertainment business wing to stop generating profits.

First, you can't lose something that hasn't been announced yet. The current games are staying. Second, nobody said "forever exclusives". It could be Deathloop style exclusives. There are monetary reasons to sell, when you make a game for way north of $100 million (think next Elder Scrolls) and then have to put it out on a subscription service. This isn't and won't be sustainable, unless half of the world subscribes to your service.

So, no. Nobody will miss anything, because there will be nothing to miss.

Some sort of anti-cheating system is a must for games with cross play. It doesn't really matter if it is Denuvo or something else.

@naruball Not exactly. I have PlayStation 5, not PlayStation 4. So, having a free game but with sub par experience I can get on my platform, does it worth my time? For me the answer is no. The question becomes would I buy FF VII, or skip it.

I don't care about versions on other platforms.

Would be very happy to have PS5 version of FFVII. But I will get PS4 version instead. Just knowing that a better version of the game exists out there will prevent me from enjoying what I get from PS+. So, there's nothing for me to be happy about

Going to be waiting for reviews. I stopped trying shovelling every new game into existing categories a long time ago, so I don't presume what it will end up to be. If it is innovative, exquisitely done — I'm going to buy it right away. The price is high, but I'll compensate by skipping so-so games.

It seems many people seriously think that the hacker(s) is some disgruntled gamer. While they may feel let down by the game, it is clear that they simply continuing on their criminal enterprise of extortion. Targeted attack like this one is hard to pull off. A hacker won't do it just for giggles; there must be possibility of a monetary reward. Also, it shows it's not their first gig. Ransomware business is thriving. Company I work for (a game dev studio) was a victim once too, few years ago. It's far more common than you might think. Obviously, not just a game development companies are targeted, but rather anyone who can potentially pay in bitcoins.

TL;DR: It's just a daily business for the hacker. Not a vendetta against CDPR.

I'm sorry, but why Death Stranding is not an option? Top choice for me, just to experience it at 60 FPS

Part of me still wants Netflix to make a horror film based on that Sonic with human teeth and fingers
