The fans of the original *played* the original.
If they're actually fans, they'll play this one too, instead of being so easily influenced by contextless bullet points and screen grabs. If they think Naughty Dog to be some of the best, they'll give ND's years of effort into building this sequel more weight than random social media losers
The writing in Second Son I didn't mind, and that game took under 20 hours to 100%. It was Deacon's overall behavior and tone, and the writing all around it for the 60-70+ hours this game is.
Rikki went out of her way to bring him into their camp. He acted annoyed and irritated every time she buzzed him on the radio. He came to her, needed her, but he acted bratty the entire game toward her. Unless it was his mission where he needed her again. He acted the same way ...
You're uncomfortable playing as a certain type of human because of the gender of who they kiss. And you label it as "shoving an agenda."
When 5-10% of the human population is this "certain type" of human, and there are fewer than 5-10% of games where you play as that "certain type" of human, how on earth is it "shoving an agenda" down everyone's throat? If Ellie kissed a guy or was just a loveless emotionally-lonely teenager,...
God of War, Spider-Man, Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy both, Infamous: Second Son, Shadow of the Colossus Remake (I'm counting it), Ratchet & Clank (it's a remake too), Bloodborne, and The Last Guardian represent my Top 9 true-exclusives. I'll be playing Infamous First Light this summer so I'm sure that, TLOU2, and GoT will shape that even more. If I included the PS4-PC games, heck yeah all Horizon, Death Stranding, FFVII Remake and even Nioh would make the Top 10.

PS5 will absolutely outsell XSX. But I don't think it'll be even wider than this gen since Microsoft is back to caring again.
They nearly outsold PS3 with the 360, when PS2 had a 5-6x sales lead. That's because all the way through about 2010-2011, MS had a first party and influence that was actually productive. We had Rare launch a new IP and a new Perfect Dark. PGR was a great racer. Gears then came. Halo was in its prime. They tried exclusive JRPGs. Forza came...
He should also know that TLOU 1's Bill is gay too, and that first guy who sold the guns that kicked off the journey - ever notice the ear that's pierced?
Tell that to your friend and you'll ruin his weekend haha
Something being "woke" has got to be weakest, most fragile reason to not play something.
Tense, gut-wrenching, brutal in every way, Ellie full badass. Then comes the lesbian kiss and... "Eww omg that's so gross! Trigger warning!"
So... Microsoft should hire Nvidia's marketing?
Gameplay sizzle reels with "Next-Gen On"/"Next-Gen Off"
@Obscure, I'm not disagreeing at all that Gears 5 is a beauty. There's no doubt that, like you did with Ryse, the PC version on Ultra settings will look better than any console game.
So please stop trying to say an Xbox game looks better by showing off the PC version. Two strikes in the same thread. Tsk tsk
Yep, MS has a better chance at partnering with any of the other TV companies and phone makers since Sony's a competitor in those industries too.
Nice YouTube video, comparing God of War to the PC version of Ryse running at Ultra settings. Totally what we're talking about here.
I also said "pretty much anything", not everything... so yeah, RDR2 you'll get points for, but I'll disagree on Gears 5 - it's definitely up there, and it runs at 60fps standard; GOW has an inconsistent 60fps mode.
If Gears 5 targetted 30fps, maybe it would have some extra effects, but as they are, ...
12TFLOPS compared to 10.28 - the XSX has nearly an entire PS4-worth of extra power at its disposal.
The One X is TFLOPS compared to PS4 Pro's 4.2 - about that same PS4-level difference in raw TFLOPs.
God of War still looks better than pretty much anything I've played on One X. Smarter techniques matter more than raw power and Sony's devs have the talent on working with 'weaker' systems.
It was a well-reviewed cult classic with a lot of lore for easy expansion of its universe into new games. At the end of the generation, its genre has no real direct competition left, so if there's interest - a quick cash-in remaster can test the waters for if they wanna build on this IP.
Samsung and Microsoft mentioned something a while ago about a gaming partnership with the Cloud that they're going to detail later in the year, and they've done a lot of shared marketing together since the early days of the 360 (all Xbox 360 kiosks included Samsung TVs for example, and the MS Stores sell Galaxy phones).
If I'm to guess, Microsoft will bundle Game Pass with xCloud in the next Galaxy Note and run bundles on the existing S20s for xCloud's forma...
The prices of 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSDs are still crazy, $200 or more. And it's only AMD that have motherboards capable of those SSDs still, so who knows when Intel will finally release CPUs and new boards to support that. PC world will be behind for quite a bit, even compared to the XSX's setup.
I just wish we'd stop pretending that an SSD is going to magically improve framerates and resolutions. We forget already that the UE5 demo was running at a resolution and frame...
TLOU Remastered has a mode that Targets both full 4K and just 30fps, on a 4.whatever TFLOP device.
I don't care how old this game's source assets come from, but it still looks incredible and I've not been bothered by the framerate at all
On Waypoint they've said that they'll be at the event. We need gameplay and a lot of it.
That's not reality man. That's gaming bolt taking one interview that another outlet did and them making 100 articles from that one interview.
@Kiwi Not only that, but that (1) this dev doesn't have experience with either, (2) admits it in the article, *and* (3) he doesn't even really praise the PS5.
Convince yourself that Naughty Dog and The Last of Us 2 are being treated in any way even remotely comparable to ME: Andromeda (handed off to B-team), anything Blizzard since Activision took over, and anything Bethesda-developed since Skyrim back in 2011. Want to throw Destiny in that disappointment bucket? Publisher greed. Anthem? Very well-known and documented development hell in both management and technology. Your qualms with The Last of Us? The story you haven't played or experienced...
