Here's evidence for BF 2042 originally being a battle royale game, heavily influenced by Apex Legends:

Tbh, I think BF 2042 was a battle royale, and then they changed direction mid-development and didn't have enough time to finish it properly before EA's deadline. Specialists make more sense in a br, for example.
Like Halo Infinite before its delay, it needed at least an extra year of development. When you think about it, Infinite had 6 years and BF 2042 had just 3 years. It seems that's just not enough time to make a high quality AAA game anymore.
Yeah, I've wanted to get the PS5 version of this so just getting the PS4 version with no upgrade path would be kind of pointless. Hope the free PS5 upgrade path hasn't been disabled for this.
The Persistence let you upgrade for free to the PS5 version, so ... maybe.
I can't believe they messed this up so badly.
Was really looking forward to playing these with 60fps and better aiming, and the better graphics would just be a bonus, but I think I might just need to replay them through the emulated PS2 Classics that I bought years ago. At least they have trophies and are sharper, I suppose.
I really liked the digital OG Xbox version but it only works on the 360, I think.
I suppose it's because they're the origin stories of each era of the franchise but MGS1 and MGS3 are the most grounded mainline entries and easy to jump into.
I was thinking the same. It would easily maintain 60fps at 1440p. Tbh, a drop that low may not even be needed for 60fps with more aggressive DSR scaling (lower bound).
The game is still months away from release though so it likely has a lot of optimization ahead of it. Let's see.
I wonder if, bugs aside, there'll be enough improvements to the things that are obviously wrong (e.g. faces, draw distances, times for cars to explode, physics, missing sound effects, wrong text on objects, etc) that this will eventually be worth owning.
Bugs fixes are not enough. They basically need to continue developing the game.
A badass set of games to start with.
You probably have some free PS5 upgrades as well. They might not all show up in your library because sometimes you have to go to the game and add them (for free). I think you have to do that for Doom Eternal.
Primarily interested in seeing the prices for:
- Demon's Souls
- Hades
- Guardians of the Galaxy
- Rider's Republic (would be the first time in a long while that I bought a Ubisoft game, Jesus)
Also:
- Deathloop
- Yakuza: Like a Dragon
- Mafia: Definitive Edition
- Resident Evil Village
... I won't be buying all those. haha. Hopefully there'll be some good prices. We&#...
Not true. You have it the wrong way around. The shareholders are the people most strongly defending Kotick and who aren't yet buckling, which Sony and MS are trying to pressure them to do. He has a good chance of getting through this specifically because most of them have his back.
The main group complaining are Activision's employees, and for them this IS about sexual harassment and worse (suicide, rape). It's not like some shareholder told them to do that.

The comment you replied to perfectly sums up the attitude of people on here always defending this stuff.
- not bothered reading into the details of the story
- presumes the women are all liars without even reading into the details of the story
The fact that he thinks this is about "one woman" getting hit on after months of reporting on many cases is crazy. I'm fairly sure aaronaton would have a different attitude if his boss sent HIM a death ...
"Wait for the facts to surface."
Bobby Kotick sent a voicemail threatening to kill one of his employees, and his own spokesperson had to acknowledge that it happened while trying to both apologize for it and downplay it.
You lads need to stop acting as if the only way that a billionaire should be fired for wrongdoing is if they go to jail. Even in court, they just end up setting due to their immense wealth, e.g. Kotick threatened to "destro...
Whether or not Phil was just "following Sony's lead" is something we will never know (Sony and MS's emails could have been sent to their employees around the same time and one could have been reported first), and honestly, it doesn't matter.
It's great that both Sony and MS are putting pressure on Activision to remove Kotick, and it's not something I think most of us were expecting.
Bobby Kotick sent a voicemail threatening t...
No idea what any of that first paragraph actually means, but the only "creep" being discussed here is Bobby Kotick.
"Spokesperson isn't a jury nor a judge."
You're being a child. Stating the obvious here, but if your spokesperson is forced to apologize for you sending death threats to an employee while trying to downplay the seriousness of it, then it happened. Otherwise, they'd just say it's not true. That's just c...

Realistically, they wouldn't actually use the results where the AI was using the bumper technique to save time in laps, but it is a viable tactic so it's likely something that popped up in the results repeatedly. haha.
With deep learning, the results are more human-like if you have a good training set, and all the stimuli provided in these experiments are "more-or-less the same cues as a human player" because the study was about d...
"Oh, dear God. The AI has figured out the bumper car technique, and has become obsessed with running players off the road."

Nothing wrong with having standards, man. A PS5 game at 1080p should run without issues, and this article is specifically about the game being updated, so I'm just saying what I want them to do next.
Also, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. You got angry that people want Bobby Kotick fired ... after it was confirmed by his own spokesperson that he sent a voicemail to a female employee threatening to kill her. lol.
lol
They really need to optimize the Performance Mode for PS5 and Series X, and get it up to a higher resolution.
They also need more game modes (no doubles!?) and to let people pick the modes that they actually want to play instead of forcing them to play, e.g. Oddball.
