Same here. Even with the Bioshock games unlocked fps mode, I still tried it out. If nothing else, it's nice to allow that experimentation.
-"Congrats on what the PC was doing about 10 yrs ago LOL."
Yeah, yeah. We get it. But seeing how often console gaming has been behind on this does strike at one of the most nefarious aspects: marketing. It's like shortly after the beginning of 7th gen, most AAA developers were drugged into pursuing the crispest animations, best textures, etc. at all costs and no one brought up framerate all the while. Hell, I still remember when people denied there being a...
But that's *literally* the point of this piece: why can't the player be allowed to have their own input--to some degree? If that's not a "revolution" by your vocabulary, then it's at least an "evolution" in a creator's thinking today for console games. Just as a greater expansion in gameplay accessibility options has become a thing (across many of the biggest studios) so too does it seem reasonable to expect that to extend to graphical options as well...
But would you want them to be exclusively 30FPS or simply allow for fidelity/performance mode options? Considering how much know-how developers have in enabling gameplay accessibility options, I don't see why a standard like disparate graphics settings can't be universal for consoles like it (nearly) is for PCs.
I will only allow Paul Bettany to introduce me before each fight.
They typically used the term "launch window" when discussing it. Truth be told, I didn't think it'd release in 2020.
That's what frustrates me. In one end, you have THQ Nordic giving extra funds to some devs for quality remasters (Spongebob Bikini Bottom) and then low-effort port jobs like Re-Reckoning, which still has a fair number of technical issues intact. On top of that, it's priced at $40.
I've received the stock warning email for my Series X but not PS5, so I think I'm alright.
I still get the feeling this issue will blow over the closer we get to release. It seems like a number of people have double-ordered to be safe, and those are bound to be canceled.
"Give it a rest, hello games have more than redeemed themselves and shown how they respond to less than perfect launches..."
But their later actions aren't sullied nor are they the point here. You're literally discounting a common framing device as a "panning" b/c it's a critical review. It's literally showing the disparity one dev has done between their two most recent games: a promised universe with No Man's Sky (with a HUGE adver...

-"So Halo Infinite looks so great as a next gen game compared to say TLOU 2 or GoT, that they had to delay it from being a launch title to coming out next year?"
I didn't know all of MS' next-gen comprised of Halo: Infinite. I literally referenced that before so I'm not sure what you're getting across. Infinite's history also had the difficulty of making an entirely new engine for it, whereas I don't believe t...
@ApocalypseShadow
You said very little and thought even less in making that response.
No one should be impressed by your pivoting here. Rebuttals, consistent argumentation, etc. impress more *FOREVER* than whatever feeble argument you're making here.
Don't keep up the dishonest tactics. Should have just said "really good counterpoints."
This is such a disingenuous take that I'm surprised you're going with it.
-"There are PS4 games that look more next gen than Microsoft's next gen."
Is this the part where we make a comparison to the Craig meme or some indie timed exclusive like Call of the Sea and compare it to TLOU II's kill gifs? Going by this same logic: Halo 4 was technically superior to the PS4 launch title Knack. Even the first game flexed on Series X was...
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I greatly appreciate it.
That's actually the problem that I come to agreement with her: the age "issue" isn't really addressed by the game's text or subtext. It's treated more like a risque "flavor" to the love dynamic. Like they're trying to go Lolita with it (except technically not below age of consent).
Which is surprising too b/c I've typically enjoyed the takes I've seen from her. More than likely her personal experience with this (seen in rev...
That's informative, but doesn't technically account for the whole bump either.
As someone who's played & reviewed the game, what you're saying here is incorrect. I still really DISLIKE how the subject matter is handled but personifying it as "rape" doesn't meet the definition. The setting of Rachel Foster is in Montana, where the legal age of consent is 16. And using a term like "pedophilia" (found elsewhere in review) muddies the waters even more.
Again, this is coming from someone who also criticizes this tonal...
Guess it's time to have a level-headed discussion about cross-gen games now.
Yes and no. Speaking as someone who hadn't read novels or comics at the time, I could follow the general arc of 4's story. But the requirements to do so were keeping full attention to that boring exposition dump by The Librarian and hyper-analyzing secondary sources within the game, like info found on Infinity or Halo Waypoint (can't remember how it was structured). The game itself rarely gives you a reason to care about this background though, so you can get lost.
No. 343 had a 'Forerunner' trilogy pegged for it at the beginning. It expanded to a saga later on down the line.

-"A lot of people don't understand how much more you can do graphically with double the amount of time to render a frame at 30FPS"
No, I'm sure many are well aware; that's part of the problem. The 7th gen showed that quite often and is why you saw so many devs going for broke on what they could do with that framerate threshold (without any other options).
