Thanks - I always seem to miss the Epic giveaways.

Some really good old games there.

@shinoff Where do I get it for free? It’s $40

@darkrider If they bought it because of the name, they stuck around for the fun - you wouldn’t keep playing a bad game years after launch simple because of the name.

@Shinoff F76 is not free…

At least this time they’ll hopefully have learned from their mistake and send it with proper packaging and a proper courier instead of USPS budget mail on a premium item… although I’ve heard the Royal Mail is just as bad as the USPS.

Agree on the disks though. If I’m buying a special edition I want the disk. This disk-less trend is a terrible one where we pay the same for less than we used to get a few years back.

NG+ will be a nice addition, and will extend the legs this game has.

Looking forward to it.

No, but they paid likely more for two years of Forspoken exclusivity, a game that is already being panned before release. That decision makes Tomb Raider look like a good deal.

“ I think the lawyers of Microsoft aren't that good... The history of Microsoft in those kind of deals is huge....”

Lawyers don’t negotiate pricing on business deals… why would they? They check legal compliance, they’re not business development experts.

Also ...

The more that comes out through the investigatory stages, the worse it looks for Sony - too much baggage.

This deal is going through.

It sounds like you watched the wrong video or misunderstood. Or did you mean embarrassing for PS5?

“In performance mode, Series X has a frame-rate advantage - albeit with more limited draw distance vs PS5. In the RT mode, Series X is also more performant, only facing issues in CPU-intensive scenes like Novigrad, where PS5 also struggles.”

“There are key visual differences between PS5 and Series X. Firstly, it's clear Series X often runs at a higher pi...

@IRetro

One mans opinion piece is irrelevant when the entire industry is still using TFlops (including Sony and Microsoft).

Nvidia were still using it as recent as their 40XX series announcement: https://www.nvidia.com/en-u...

So yes, it’s still very much true.

Awesome, imagine trying to use people living in poverty as some kind of insult. You should be really proud.

Third party game sales have been down for PS since 2019 too (maybe even earlier, I didn’t check) - so what’s your excuse there? Are PS gamers also on food stamps?

Also since we deal in facts not fiction, back in the real world - HoL is #4 on the top sellers list - only being beaten by COD, FIFA and Madden.

So there goes your entir...

No court would take the views of 10 people as accurately & overwhelmingly representing the view of the public.

If the FTC is going to rely on this as evidence, they might as well pack up now and go home and not waste taxpayer money on this - because it'll just be another loss on their long list of recent losses.

These are the ones they should've published just for laughs :P

They have to make it out that way though - because the only other alternative is to admit that others in the industry are nowhere near as consumer & developer friendly.

The 7x statistic is interesting, people think GP reduces game sales, but it actually has the opposite effect - we've heard that from multiple developers now. Also, their future games will be GP games by the sounds of it.

I fully expect SF to break its record though, SF is a massive, massive game, probably the biggest to launch Day 1 on GP.

@Babadook overall TF is how you determine the power of a GPU. Yes, they will vary in different scenarios.

But if you're talking about which GPU is 'more powerful' - there is only one metric - flops.

@Generic @Sonic

#2 would happen because Sony would want to compete with MS on the FPS front, especially if they fear that they may pull COD in the future (I don't think they ever will though, too much $$$ at stake).

Similarly, they will feel some threat from no more exclusives, ad deals & COD players getting attracted to COD via GP, for the price and also for any perks. COD makes up a huge portion of the gaming revenue for Sony & Microsoft via...

I’m not saying they wouldn’t care - I’m saying a lot aren’t even aware this acquisition is going on, and a bunch who are also aren’t aware of the implications.

That being said, clearly COD isn’t going off of PS.

Lol, I like this idea of an anti GOTY award :p

And my god, there are some terrible entries there.

Which is absolutely crazy. You can’t have much faith in PS exclusives if you think COD has the ability to entirely sink the platform.

They’re probably assuming they’ll cash in on on-going subs via the MP. Most people continue to play the MP until the next one comes out.

Heck a bunch don’t even play the campaigns (they’re all kinda the same anyway, America good Terrorists/Russia bad, unrealistically small group of special forces save the day from nuclear annihilation).

100% agree on bringing back games like KZ.
