Did they sort out the miserable performance issues with the game, or are they pulling an Ark: Survival Evolved here, and selling DLC before the game is playable?

Projected 30-40% performance bump along with a large RT gain is quite reasonable considering how far Zen + RDNA architecture has come in 4 years. That said I don't see the point if PS6 is due out in 2027 (it's been a 7 year console cycle for decades). I'll stick with PC gaming nonetheless but always interesting to see new hardware coming.

I’d be more interested if Sony hadn’t already said there won’t be any AAA exclusives this year. I just finished Spider-Man 2, which was absolutely fantastic, and now I don’t know if my ps5 will even be turned on again this year.

I just want them to patch Gamespy out of Red Alert 3. I know, that’s asking way too much.

Several of the devs that made the C&C games left to make their own weird-ass voxelly RTS games. 8-bit Armies and now 9-bit Armies. I think RogueSix nailed it; it'll probably be a remaster of the next games in the C&C series.

Personally, I just want Red Alert 3 redone with proper network support. Let me just...host a damn game, so I can play co-op with a friend through the absurd campaign.

Oh man, this game was SO fun to play through, although if you're hoping for a good story, only the expansion has that. The main game's story is literally "REVENGE!!!1!". Side characters have great story arcs, but Jin is boring as hell. Thankfully, the actual gameplay is top-top notch fun.

Imagine if two developers were given the general idea for Assassin's Creed gameplay, and one made the Ubi series, while the other made something quite different, but still...kinda the same thing? The devs' love of Samurai movies is obvious in nearly every second of the game.

Also, I'm hoping this means they're about to announce a proper sequel to it. Almost every other Playstation game that's come to PC has shown up under the shadow of its successor.

I do wonder where the PS5 versions (performance/Fidelity) sit on this chart, as HOLY CRAP it looks fantastic and I'm unsure how much more impressive the PC version could get. I've not picked up the PC version of HZD either, though, and supposedly the difference there is pretty big.

I have played both games to death on the Playstation, but the ~$10 sale price on HZD is maybe going to be enough to get me to pick it up just to see it look as pretty as it can.

Well that's a bit of a surprise, but the GTX1080 is still no slouch. From the visuals shown/framerate at launch, it was pretty obvious that Remedy wasn't keeping up with other games. Now it's looking like they're catching/caught up.

It’d be wonderful if AMD’s driver team realized VR exists, but since they don’t, I’ll be sticking with team Green. I’d love to get the better performance for my dollar that these 7000 series have, but maybe 20% of what I play is VR, and AMD driver consistently cause issues. A little under half the problems posted on the Virtual Desktop discord channel are from people with AMD cards, and the issue is always the same thing, and the fix is an older driver set.

That Lana Del Rey "Video Games" article reminds me of a girlfriend I once had that needed me to give her attention 24/7. I basically dumped her because of that

The real trick is to find someone who has right around the same amount of required "attention" that you have. Whether that's ALL THE TIME (a friend of mine married a woman like this and he loves it), about half the time (that's where my wife and I are), or minimal-but-focused, you need to make sure you match there.

I couldn't make it through listening to the whole song. It wasn't BAD, but it was slow and I'm not in the mood for that right now I guess.

Well, maybe if WB had focused on making it a fun, but FINITE experience rather than demand that it be a live service game, it would have done better.

A full price game should not also be a live service game. If a game is going to have a season pass and a storefront, I absolutely refuse to pay full price for it, and most others will as well. That shit just means they held content back from the user so they could sell it in pieces. The "we can repeat this quest with barely any variation and call it procedural" bullshit is getting old, fast, and people are seeing it. Reviews made it very clear that the combat feels good, but the gameplay doesn't vary enough...and that's ENTIRELY live-service bullshittery's fault.

The fact that they went for a Destiny-style live service with characters that aren't "yours" makes it an even harder sell, IMO. Makes me wonder what the game's initial design was, before some exec demanded it be watered down for "longer engagement".

I would play this over Enshrouded and that other game, any day of the week.
Any chance you'd share why, also 'other game' Nightingale (if so, it doesn't have positive ratings, easily another year to be as stable, afaik)?
I'm playing Enshrouded and having a blast so could possibly enjoy it.

Is this a sequel to the first game, the original guy was a billionaire and someone is going to find him?

Pretty sure the "other game" is Palworld.

Mount a second Apple Vision Pro on the back of your head to counterbalance.

While a good game for its time, the sequel was FAR better.

Oh yeah, FlatOut 2 was better in every way. Also, while it's not quite as wacky as FlatOut, Bugbear's Wreckfest is shitbox racing at its best. It drops to around $10 pretty often.

Man, the screenshots of the characters in that article about Suicide Squad are....impressive. I'd read that they look damn near like slightly altered video, and I'm excited to see more games with that level of animation. I'll likely pick up the game EVENTUALLLY, but I'm just not interested enough to spend $60 on it, especially since my wife will undoubtedly want to play as well, making it $120. I'll wait for a $30-or-under sale, which seems like it'll be coming sooner than later.

Dead Cells is a complete game. There's no reason to keep making more content for it. Sure, that sucks for the company that was doing the updates, but there comes a point when a game is just...done.

It was a cheapo Gateway so not a big deal.

That's a name I have not heard or read in a long, long time. Did the box it came in have cow spots on it?

Crap hardware maker ONN bought the Gateway name. You can buy a brand new "Gateway" at Walmart right now. It's a massive piece of shit, I've seen ONN laptops that looked great on the outside but the inside was literally held in place with tape.

That's perfectly fine. They have to move on to making a new game at some point. Dead Cells is absolutely fantastic, and I'm excited to see what they do next.
