Agreed what PD are doing is totally unacceptable.
They must make an offline save game and a separate online progression save game.
I accepted GT Sport's online only component but I will skip GT7 for the first time in the franchises history. I'm still looking forward to pick up FH5.
I can't believe this is happening myself.
Delay the game and make two saves if you want to prevent cheating. Don't f••• us offline gamers.

MSFS 2020 doesn't work offline on PC at least. Even when purchased through the built-in MS Store (the digital storefront that comes with MS Win8/10/11).
On Xbox consoles I guess that's different but on PC you must be online to launch the game (unless you own it on disc allegedly). That said after initially launching the title and disabling online features you can cut the cord but you will lose everything including paid for content and access to off...
The longest running PS exclusive franchise of all the ones shown is Gran Turismo which is releasing their 7th game in the mainline series which dates back to 1998 on PlayStation (1994). God of War dates back to the mid-late PS2 era while Marvel's Spider-Man is arguably the best Spider-Man game I've played (I have Miles Morales for PS5... but no PS5 and I'm not going to buy the PS4 version it's part of a pre-order gone wrong due to limited PS5 stock) and Horizon which has only ...
What confuses me most about this is why these developers don't just ask to talk with level-headed black gamers and see what they want if a game was made to include them?
Why pander by just inserting people with what is somehow considered a diverse skin tone (or indeed people with diverse sexual preferences) into games today. Like why not make a game they will actually "want to play"?
Also while they're at it go ahead and have a sit down ...

Thanks, it's nice to know some people read my comments and understand them.
What annoyed me most about his video is that he does know what he's talking about but chooses to deliberately claim that the ultrafast switching to two stages would be possible as is on much slower hardware regardless.
Jak III's opening cinematic shows us that couldn't happen; it would take too long.
Jak and Daxter does what Jon is inferring.
Those PS2 games used only realtime cinematics & they often took you to disparate areas in a blink due to careful scripting.
Naughty Dog took their level streaming abilities to new heights with Jak III's opening cinematic which took you from The Wastelands to New Haven City then back to the Wasteland back to New Haven above the city as the palace falls then back to the wasteland before wrapping up to the title screen all play...
Jon Burton is a videogame developer not just a regular arm-chair developer.
That said he does miss the point completely!
But Driver was...
I get the OP was joking and we both know GTA5 wouldn't work on PS1, but I mean mean technically GTA 1 could've been more like Driver and as per usual if you cut out enough things I'm sure R* could get GTA5 on PS1 maybe even a GameBoy or a pocket calculator.
Those stages were also broken into several chunks... with long loading screens between each section of the level.
He literally talked about using lossy compression just to get animations to fit into memory too!
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart doesn't need to compress the data in a lossy way. There's no need to sacrifice the quality of the art to achieve your vision doing really crazy things like swapping entire levels out.
It doesn't mean Insomniac is cutting corners though it just means less consideration is needed to get that done with far less effort.

55 degrees?
Just 55? For the whole SoC!?
What were people freaking out about?My laptop doesn't even run that cool with both built-in fans running at nearly 6,000 RPM!
Now obviously I don't run the fans that fast (as they die real fast when they're running full-boar, learned that rendering animations). Even though those components are cheap and very easy to replace (myself), it's not something I want to repeatedly waste $14 o...
That was the only option and when people were given another option playing at home they leaped.
MS is giving an option similar to arcade vs home console, just in reverse.
How will MS subsidize this model and give the devs who opt in the money they agreed to? Seems like a pyramid scheme. Anyway the problem is now we hope devs continue making the money to make quality titles from indies to AAA blockbusters from the pennies worth of royalties MS gets from our subs whi...
I like the Crysis franchise and own all the games on Disc (which was a mistake because PC is a •••• gaming platform and to play without cracks I have to pay again).
Regardless the idea that Crysis 1, 2 and/or 3 are still better looking than even a good chunk of current gen games is objectively deluded.
First way back on PS3 there were better looking games like Uncharted 2, Killzone 3, Ratchet and Clank: In to The Nexus, Beyond: Two Souls and GT5 (GT6 was an odd sid...
Uh... video compression doesn't remove fog effects if anything high compression (lower quality video made to save space) would make the entire image look much worse if heavy alpha effects were used liberally all over the screen.
There are a lot of shortcomings with Crysis 3 on Switch that DF glossed over

Sony isn't liable but changing out the drive is covered under the warranty.
So while Sony isn't responsible for any damage they will repair or replace it if you used a compatible NVMe drive and that resulted in a bricked system so long as it happened within the warranty period. For most of us that will likely happen within our warranty period seeing as how most of us are still awaiting the opportunity to buy the system.

GT PSP stuck it out digitally until the PSP store was shut down completely at least in the US. 800 cars several licensed race tracks all in one game on that system was still online until the PSP store was closed. Apparently in AU and EU the game was delisted early in 2020, but it launched in Sep 30 2009.
It really is the only example of these games sticking around in the digital era even though it was also ultimately taken down by consequence of the PSP store services being...
PlayStation is up revenue 2% despite those drops. The reason is likely because most PS5s are still winding up in the hands of scalpers despite how many people will disagree with that statement of course there is less new software available to PS5 but why would that impact PS4 game sales too? Well it shouldn't.
That is speculation, but to me it seems clear that these consoles need to be sold in physical stores when that happens they should see a small bump in software re...
There's always ways to unlock content via save files but in the case of DLC game content you need to also fake your licenses for ownership of the content. Pretty sure licenses aren't part of save game data.
