So now we can pay to temporarily fix drift, rather than have them solve it? Great.
"stick drift an xbox exclusive"
I wasn't aware that they were bundling the DualSense Edge with every PS5. Wow, that won't be cheap!
"Do We Have A New Franchise?"
I think we already know the answer to that. Heck, we knew it back when the demo released.
Yep, they really need to make sure at least Forza + Starfield land this year. Can't afford for those to move out into 2024.
The economy was far stronger a year ago. Crazy inflation right now and lots of people losing jobs and struggling right now.
A lot has happened in the last 12mo, heck, a year ago the war in Ukraine hadn't even started.
Saving this comment. Let's see how well it ages when Sony, Nintendo, EA etc have their earnings calls :)
No one is immune to this economy.
"Not to mention even when you look at the industry as a whole, it's only down 5% Y-o-Y which means Xbox is struggling big time @ 13%."
That's... not how that works. Microsoft make up a small portion of the industry, so their 13% could be 1% overall.
Can't say I'm surprised really, the entire industry is going down in this economy. This will be a trend we see a lot as we enter into the Q2 financial reports season.
Sounds like a VERY unique experience then - I guess that's why it ended up with an 86 metacritic score.
We’ve been asking for this forever and while I would love it, I doubt we’ll get it.
Chuck it onto the “needs a remake” list alongside MGS etc.
“pentumont”
Never heard of it - sounds French.
So now 720p is fine as long as its upscaled to 4K?
Nope. Internal resolutions matter.
As for 120hz, GoWR runs at a far higher resolution than this @ 120hz, and looks 10x better.
Heck, if this was the Series S @ 720p we'd be tearing it a new one.
It's not really a trap they can simply avoid though, you're legally required to answer a subpoena (unless the court overrides it).
I said it will go through but only with concessions in court.
Whether you consider that smoothly or not is up to you :P
Sony who just launched a new subscription service, are working on 12 live service games, and just acquired Bungie for their live service games & online services tech.
Totally not doubling down on services /s
@MrNinosan How is that downtalking Sony or MS? I'm not against them launching services 🤷
Smart move. Subpoenaing them for their revenue data - this will instantly disprove Sony's "oh woe is me, we're bankrupt without Activision" stance.
Nintendo have always been off doing their own thing - and it's working for them, the Switch is wiping the floor with the PS5 and XS.
But Sony and Microsoft are both doubling down on services, for those 2 companies, that is the big focus this generation.
720p on a PS5?
20fps in quality mode?
Yikes, they really did a terrible job optimizing this. Now the crazy high PC requirements make sense.
Agree. 2 years on this is insane. Square pulled a fast one here.
I think we'd all anticipated this flopping based off of the trailers + demo. So not a huge surprise. That's 1 of the big 3 for PS5 this year down - but at least the other 2 are more predictable in terms of quality.
There was a part of me that thought maybe reviewers would review this well and gamers would not, given some of the reviewer opinions we saw on the demo - but that appears not to have been the case.
Not planning on upgrading at that price plus with worse battery life. I'll be sticking with the stock DualSense.
