One of the original Toy Story developers summed it up nicely. Basically when they were doing Toy Story people were shocked you are going from hand drawn art to computers but now no one blinks an eye and most if not all anime is 'drawn' on computers. But he also stated this didn't replace artist but just gave them a new tool to use. Now with AI the author is saying it will replace writing but it won't, using it to have dynamic conversations with NPCs or chatter as the character...
This shouldn't be news, all newer games will take advantage of it either natively or with an enhanced setting and this will only grow in 2026 and 2027 and within 1st party Sony games. People mock early adopters but if you have it for long term you will be okay. If my PS5 died I'd get a Pro to replace it at this point.
Watch it again...I've just been playing Ghost of Tsushima again and while it is visually amazing it looks like a PS4 game. Everything this the trailer for Ghost of Yotei looks well beyond that.
But if you are an Xbox console player why would you have Steam games...cause you got a PC that can play Xbox games better than the current console, so why do you have an Xbox?
Steam on Xbox...so a PC? Well no this is a console so it will focus only on games...so it will do less? Yeah but it will be cheaper...didn't you say you can build a PC for less than a PS Pro well yeah, and this console won't be upgradable like a PC...well yeah.
I forget how niche Final fantasy is because I love the series, so when a new mainline game comes out it is a big deal but for average games who play Madden or COD or kids playing Fortnite they aren't even going to look at Final Fantasy.
That is what I loved about Killzone 2 and 3, you were in a war and just a soldier not some special Ops guy or hero and most of the time you were with other troops around you.
Yeah but what good is a disc when next gen console won't have a drive?
HB1 was amazing HB2 I felt like they ruined her journey from part 1 and the story was a confusing mess and not due to her psychosis
'Sold' or 'Downloaded'...
To many other games to play that I already own is the main reason. I like trying new stuff on GP and Lies of P was one of those but I'm not a huge fan of Souls games. I'm like 7 hours in and the game is 29 hours so i'll probably just call it quits. If I did love it'd buy it but honestly it's something I'd play for like 30 minutes here and there and then remember I hate dying 20 times in a row.
Lies of P hurts, I'm a couple hours into it but I'm taking it slow cause it burns me out, but now I might need to power through it to complete it by the 15h...
Nah I get his take, they are saying without a narrative driving force they don't feel complied to keep playing. They say the actual gameplay and world in Wilds might do it but they don't know as it hasn't in past games.
Kinda get this, I loved Death Stranding, did quite a few side missions, completed the story and even replayed the directors cut but both times I had no desire to keep playing after the end of that story. Did the same for Spider-Man 2 which was amazing but they put you back in the city at end and I'm like uninstall. I get some games like Monster Hunter put the hardest challenges after you complete the story and this dates back to FF7 where you could do the Weapons who were 10x harder than ...
Sony bought Gaikai way back in 2012 building up the cloud gaming, and we are right on the cusp up streaming games almost as well as Netflix does shows and movies. Even TV manufactures are jumping on board and building in gaming services to their OS.
Of course it is a win, on my PS5 I can enjoy GT7 AND Forza Horizons 5. You can't say that about Xbox consoles, PC or. Nintendo. And there will be more of that going forward, what is not to love about that!
Probably my biggest gripe in Returnal was the lack of permanent upgrades. That is what made Hades a better game for me was slightly getting better each run , so I'm glad Saros has that!
It sold very well on PS5 just didn't mean expectations which were high. Issue I see is PS4 users who played remake couldn't play rebirth not owning a PS5. The name Rebirth doesn't indicate it is part 2 to Remake but more of a deluxe version so people might of skipped it. I think they will do a day 1 PS5/6 and PC release for the 3rd part.
Reviewer had technical issues that lowered his score which is understandable when a dev releases a game that is how it must be scored, not waiting for patches. What it says to me is wait for a patch or buy at a sale later on but otherwise a great game.
PS5 Pro is going to shine in 2026 and 2027, that is all.
