I appreciate your optimism, but I wouldn’t get my hopes up. A lot of lead developers and writers have left BioWare, including the guy who wrote the DragonAge series up to this point.
“Journalist”: The XBOX Series X can run without electricity and convert salt water into fresh, all in less time it takes the base PS4 to load Far Cry 4.
Oh gosh, nooooooo!!!!!!!!!
If you have a problem with it, just think about what it would be like if modern BioWare made it.
Great. Now when I go to buy my physical copy of a PS5 game I get to here some moron lecture me for five minutes about the “great value” of game pass.
I swear. It’s like Microsoft has done everything it can to win the console war besides actually making the first party games they have been telling us are coming for the last decade.
I know this one wasn't perfect, but it felt like the best effort made by any developer other than the original Team Silent. All they really needed to do was make the monster encounters feel more spontaneous and less scripted. I love the idea of using modern tech to have the protagonist run away instead of fight. Imagine this concept with 4k graphics and fully destructible environments.
Someone doesn't understand polling.
I think the real issue here is distinguishing extreme cases of crunch from mild cases of it. A few six day weeks at the end of a project for a nice bonus seems reasonable in this industry.
Now if CDPR were pulling the same kind of crap that Telltale did a few years back where they forced contract workers to work double time for months only to let them go as soon as the project ended, that shit has “devs need to unionize” written all over it.
Jason works ...
I can appreciate the fact that some players are less interested in a challenge than others. Unfortunately, scalable difficulty settings often ruin the experience because the designers have to create terrible AI for the easy mode which only becomes superficially challenging on the harder modes.
This is why Souls games and other challenging franchises should refrain from using these settings. If you can’t handle it, Nintendo has your back with Kirby.
It’s almost as though the tech to really make a generational leap is still a year or two away from becoming cheap enough to put into a console.
Why even have a new gen? Everything is cross platform any way. Just wait until the tech is there to make a true generational leap.
Since I purchased my gaming PC, I’ve used GOG exclusively and I have managed to build a library of 27 games for less that the cost of a one year subscription. There are just so many sales that put the cost below 5 dollars. From what I have heard, Steam is even better about the discounts.
I am not giving money to the giant monopoly tech company that has made its vast fortune by buying out and ruining its competition far more often then actually creating something new and in...
It seems like you need to have exclusives to prove this. Maybe it would be better to say that the series X will disprove the widely held belief that exclusives matter.
I know, I know... Starfield. If it comes out in the next three years then maybe that could help make the case.
Most of my criticisms of Microsoft have nothing to do with theit consoles and everything to do with GamePass and honestly it’s because they are offering so much value.
I just don’t trust the big monopoly to keep giving us everything we ever wanted for peanuts. To me, this model can’t work no matter how many subscriptions they get. Sooner or later the value has to go down in order for them to make money. I just hope Sony and Nintendo can weather the storm in the mean time. ...
It’s not a simulator if it’s not realistic.
If I’m not mistaken, Phantasy Star was extremely pricey. Most fans of the series were fine with it though. They felt like the game was a luxury product for the time.
I’ll pay more but I’ll also expect more as well. I don’t see myself sinking money into an Ubisoft snoozefest for 70 dollars, but the Witcher 3 would still be worth it.
PS3 was definitely a weak gen for Sony, but even during that gen we got uncharted and The Last of Us. When the best thing your customers have to show for an entire gen is Crackdown 3, you are an embarrassment to the entire industry.
Good for Microsoft for trying to hang in there by scooping up some of the has-been publishers that have fallen on hard times. It shows they understand that being last is unacceptable. Now if only XBOX fans would realize the same thing, maybe th...
It's times like this where I don't know what to do. I have boycotted EA for a while now and for good reason. Is it a good idea to buy their single player games when they do well or should I stick to my guns and just ignore them entirely?
On the one hand, boycotting EA won't make it go away, perhaps the idea should to reward them with the purchase when they actually make a decent product. On the other hand, EA is directly responsible for a lot of the anti-consume...
How is this so hard to understand? Updating graphics is not the same as a remaster. CDPR have been doing texture upgrades for five years now. They are offering you these graphical updates for free, which is very nice of them.
Insomniac is remaking parts of its game. If they are taking the time to completely change the protagonist's face, they are probably doing quite a bit of other work as well. If you just want a slightly better texture package for the PS4 version of t...
What people are trying to explain to you is that a remaster is more than just an improvement to textures and resolution. CDPR has been optimizing The Witcher 3 on PC for years. All they are doing is giving you something they have already done.
Insomniac is remaking significant parts of the game (Peter Parker's face for example). That requires a lot of work, including all new mocap work which probably involves working with a new actor. That's time and money spent on...
I may be wrong, but I took this to mean that if you had a copy of an original release PS4 title, lets say Spider-Man, and you then purchased the upgraded PS5 remaster, you wouldn't be able to transfer saves. I am assuming that you would be able to use saves from the original PS4 game on PS5 provided it was from the same version.
This isn't any different from Steam or GOG really. For example, with GOG I can back up files of the original The Witcher 1 to the cloud and...
Sigh
