This author operates under the assumption that From Software makes the same game, yet Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Sekiro, Bloodborne and Elden Ring are completely different games with only similar elements.

How can your title call Gravity Rush 2 underrated only for the paragraph directly below to call it "highly rated"?
Underrated is overused. A good game not being massively popular doesn't make it underrated.
As a dad of two this is the best gadget I could have ever bought for the price. In a week I've finished Valhalla and dived well into Tales of Arise, which previously would have taken me a month or more. It helps that it's so comfortable and amazing to play on, the design is far better than pictures would suggest. As someone who used to remote play on my phone with a backbone, only an insane person would say the experience is comparable. You just can't underestimate the appeal of p...
I've found my favourite option to be 40fps fidelity like Insomniac had in Spider-Man 2. With a good TV you get the best experience. If balanced mode is like that in Stellar Blade I'll go for it, otherwise Performance all the way.
I cannot see a downside to releasing on PC. I've been a PlayStation and PC gamer forever and there are games I prefer to play on console and games I prefer to play on PC. One doesn't harm the other, in fact the current model only widens the audience by releasing the big games on PC after.
Xbox fans conveniently forget that the Xbox itself only became relevant because of the exclusive prowess of Halo, Gears and eventually Forza. It was also the Call of Duty machine with exclusive content.
It matters if you're Nintendo and Sony and actually invest in developers, games and growing the industry. It doesn't matter if you're Microsoft.
I guess this is an AAAA game, one point for each A.
Did Phil Spencer suffer brain damage or is he just unable to keep track of his BS spin every other week? Yes he made the comment because Helldivers 2 is a multiplayer game, but Bethesda games literally reach millions so who did it help to make Starfield or any of the others console exclusives? The Xbox franchise was literally built off the exclusivity of Halo and Gears of War. The current Xbox leadership is directly responsible for trying to monopolise the industry and remove games in active ...
Absolutely. Nothing beats a diverse, quality line-up and Sony has always delivered that, but multiplayer has fallen by the wayside in the latter part of the PS4 generation after the likes of Killzone Shadow Fall and DriveClub and Dreams didn't do as expected. They went more into third party games like Destiny and CoD.
Hopefully this is the start of having that complete portfolio back so people can stop chattering about the homogenisation of Sony titles, which I don'...
There was a lot of restlessness when the word went around about Sony and Gaas, but the truth is Sony has really needed a leg up in the multiplayer space as the days of Killzone, SOCOM, Uncharted MP, MAG and others are long gone. Helldivers 2 is a refreshing addition to the line up and I hope it encourages Sony to tackle multiplayer the right way, with first party quality offerings.
This is the first time I've actually pre-ordered something in many years. Didn't want to risk not getting one! I need this with two kids in the house haha.
That sucks man, I really hope you get one. Isn't PlayStation Direct restocking this month? I don't get PlayStation direct in my country but we have a sponsored PS retailer and distributor.
Awesome timing, ready for that second playthrough, and my Portal is arriving end of this month.
I was literally about to comment this. You can't even close the damn ad it makes me want to close this site, delete all cookies, erase N4G from my search history and burn my phone!!!
Most insufferable ads ever.
Literally the first place my mind went.
The industry has not gone astray. Publishers and executives have. There are dozens upon dozens of quality games, indie and triple A - there are actually too many for me to play. GAAS has become a cancer because publishers are forever trying to shoehorn mobile monetisation models and free to play monetisation models into full priced games, and the problem with doing this is that it literally CHANGES the way you have to develop your game.
Suddenly you aren't making a tigh...
Yeah, great take man. Who cares about the audience and the time, money and fandom they invest in your creations to make them famous. You must be one of the Disney assassins who are currently killing everyone's childhoods.
SPOILERS FOR SUICIDE SQUAD: KILL THE FRANCHISE (IF YOU CARE)
At least there's some comic material to back this, with the Tower of Babel storyline being adapted. Can't imagine ever wanting to read a comic where the Suicide Squad shoot the Justice League to death and then shoot Braniac to death only to discover there's 12 other Braniacs to shoot to death but I'll have to wait for more comics to read that.
Not surprised. My Portal has been a life changer with two kids in the house. I use it almost every day and the comfort factor and build quality is amazing. Of course playing on a big TV with Pulse Elite headphones is superior, but the Portal is such a damn good handheld experience that you get lost in it. Can't remote play any other way now.
