I dunno if this trick works on PS5 as I ended up buying it on Series X (just have more GTA playing friends on Xbox is literally the only reason so don't hate on me), but if you change your location to Japan and reboot, you can play the new version right now. I've been playing it off and on all day today.
The upgrades are very nice. Its significantly sharper and more clear. The raytracing stuff is nice. It seems to have better reflection quality etc (whether it be sc...
actually not really. I mean, its the same game obviously but it feels way better. i was literally playing the last gen version of it last night on the Series X with friends. today i set my Series X location to Japan, rebooted and it let me play the updated "next gen" version early since its tomorrow in Japan. (it really works for those of you who are interested).
Its significantly sharper, textures are way better, the ray tracing is a welcomed addition and also ...
that feels like like probably 3 too many imo but to each their own i guess.
at some point just make it like a PC and have individual settings. since its a console, set up a performance budget and for every parameter you increase it takes out of your budget. when you use up all your budget, thats your custom graphics mode and doing it this way will make sure you always get good performance but with the things important to you prioritized.
i dont really have any interest in this game. Im not really into jrpgs or anything BUT based on the other reviews i've seen for this game so far, this feels like a troll review and its pretty hard to take it seriously when the other reviews i've seen have largely been pretty similar - putting this at around a 7, give or take.
I played the sh** out of Forza 7. Currently playing gt7 and loving it. Best gran turismo in years and a return to form. That being said, and this is going to be highly controversial; even tho it’s not necessarily the same type of racing game, Forza horizon 5 looks better visually than both of these games. I own all of them and am playing on ps5/series x. GT7 on the ps5 is gorgeous and a showcase game for sure but Forza horizon 5 on the series x is incredible visually. Has better rain effects ...
Agreed. Gt7 has been pretty awesome too so it will be interesting to compare.
Stadia is still around?
its not the devs. its the power discrepencies. at some point you have to shift your production to the new hardware and theres a crossover period where supporting older hardware is still expected. this is all part of that argument that cross-gen games hold next gen systems back. to look good on last gen means you aren't taking advantage of the new hardware power, and if you wanna get the most out of the new hardware then the old hardware has to compromise considerably. this is my biggest i...
brutal. imagine what the Switch version would look like with it being practically a generation of power behind the ps4.
i tried the demo of this game. its ok. unremarkable. doesn't seem bad, but also doesn't seem amazing. the fact that it launched in a similar window as the fantastic, high quality GT7 tho doesn't really seem to help its cause - even if it is an arcade racer... and as an arcade racer tho, it still also has to compete with the likes of the still relatively new forza horizon 5 which is also a super high quality racer thats bringing a lot more to the table.
i dig it personally. i think its the best gran turismo in years. I do find the old school menus, the talking heads that have typed out dialog like an old nes game and the odd navigation system kinda laughable and horribly dated. A lof of the music is weird too - are we all mansion dwelling 65 year olds sipping Scotch?
BUT
The actual racing, car selection, car tuning, upgrades and more are all top notch. at the end of the day, the racing should be the mos...
Looks pretty cool
@cs7 - i own a ps5 and strongly disagree. its elegant sure, but it literally offers a fraction of what the xbox ui can do. the aesthetics are all nonfunctioning superficial fluff. literally. you can't group, customize, order, pin or even change the background on ps5. you can do ALL of that on xbox and more. the xbox even has more tools to calibrate your display and audio etc. I'd happily trade a nice particle effect after booting up for folders, organization and ordering capabilites. ...
everything in the headline is true. its also one of the only racing games tho aside from Dirt5.... but Dirt5 is also a lot more arcade than sim so they aren't really the same anyway. and im not referring to back compat ps4 games.
sorry. this looks dumb AF imo. and before anybody gets all hater on me, its worth mentioning that this is not actually a playstation exclusive. it will also be on xbox and pc according to Polygon.
i have had a problem where on certain interactions, Aloy gets stuck/frozen, but her legs continue to move really fast if you push the stick. at first it was hilarious cuz it looked like she was doing a River Dance performance, but now that its happened a few times its getting annoying. I've also had some draw in/pop in issues with things not drawing in even as you're standing on/over them. even things like shallow water etc. hopefully that stuff will be addressed.
Pin to quick resume is brilliant. I assume those 2 games are locked to quick resume and can't be knocked out by loading a bunch of other games that would otherwise replace/knock those slots out otherwise when the slots are all filled up.
interface is fine. fully customizable, easy to use. i own a ps5 and a series x, and while the particle effects and pretty backgrounds are nice on the ps5, the interface is rigid and basic comparatively. It also doesn't have the best usability and was initially even confusing to me. all the "next gen stuff" is largely superficial fluff and the core menu experience is near identical to the ps4 with actually less options.
at least on xbox you can customize your h...
Prices are the same on Xbox but currently half off if anybody is interested. I just picked up the full game for $20 and preloaded
probably a smart move, all things considered.
