Sorry @swooshboy I ended up wasted :lol: however I'm off the beer this weekend so should be free any of Fri / sat / sun.

I downloaded 2 missions, kraken something and cant remember the other. Still got another 2 to download at some point too.

Also just seen "sniper elite resistance" pop up on YouTube so looks like we will have a new installment next year :drool:

:lol:

Let’s go for Saturday?

Hadn’t heard of resistance - will have a look at that and look forward to it!
 
Deep into Days Gone.

Got it free with Playstation +

What a brilliant game. I'm not sure if it was buggy but I seem to remember it not getting favourable reviews when it was first released.

Saturday is good with me.

It looks ... More of the same, which is exactly what was expected. Don't feck with a winning formula. Only difference I see is we are not playing as Karl this time around.

I keep meaning to go back to this, had a little dabble a couple years ago but something else took over and I never got back round to it.

I did the same picked it up years after release and it was great. I'm going to guess it was just buggy at launch as it's a brilliant game.

There's no game that induces panic quite like it when you're being chased by a huge horde.

I downloaded this while bored one day a few years ago expecting nothing much, it ended up being one of my favourite games.

It had some bugs but nothing game breaking. I enjoyed it at the time.

Same, I did try it (even after being put off by the first trailer which seemed to depict a man and his deep love of a motorcycle), and it was fun but didn’t pick it up again when I got the PS5.

The PS6 is just going to be a remastered PS5 at this rate.

'60FPS and 4K .....and this time we actually mean it' could make for a good sales pitch for the PS6 :lol: . Obviously games can reach these things on the PS5 but developers have struggled to meet the expectations I think.

The whole industry seems to be in a bit of a strange place at the moment. Just seen that SE have deemed FF XVI and FF Rebirth as not meeting sales expectations. FF14 must be keeping them in business by the look of things.

Not GTA6 if the internet rumours are anything to go by. Apparently it will be 30fps on consoles.

Yeah I heard about that, even on the PS5 pro allegedly. Some games have managed a smooth 60 FPS for the PS5 but I guess it depends on the game type. Either way, I can't help but think they over-promised a bit with this gen.

I'm a cynic so I think Rockstar are more than capable of making it 60fps but they want to release an "updated" version a year or two later that will be 60fps.

Their business model will be no different than it was with V; milk it to the nth degree with multiple re-releases and shark cards.

Yeah square enix are weird and seem to expect their titles to sell as well as first party games which is never going to happen

They've also been like this for a while...

Them selling Tomb Raider, Deus Ex etc IP's and the western studios for what seemed like a bargain still seems like a bizarre deal to me

Please don't remind me that the Deus Ex franchise exists and continues to be treated like leper in the 17th century

I played Mankind Divided again recently for the first time since my original playthrough in 2018. It's so damn good despite only being half a story. Gameplay and level design are just incredible. I have no idea whatsoever why we're not getting a conclusion to the Adam Jensen story - I can't think of anything in gaming I'd be more excited for.

Absolutely – am sure GTA6 is going to be optimised for the PS6. SO until then it will be limited to 30FPS. No doubt they will through in lots of graphical effects to justify that.

But for me, when I play games on the PS5, I always choose performance over fidelity on games that give you the option. Going from 60FPS to 30FPS is a much bigger downgrade and more noticeable than lowering the resolution IMO. Which makes this a strange situation for people who have been playing GTA5 in 60FPS for a long time now. Yes, the new game is going to look amazing, but it will be a shift to go back to 30FPS.

The more I read about the PS5 Pro, the less and less value it seems to have.

I heard figures that roughly 75% of people do. Which seemed notable considering they often default to fidelity.
I think thats probably part of the reason why gta6 will definitely be 30fps. No one would give a shit about upgrading for ray tracing or better lighting effects.

We got fecked. The whole "Augment your pre-order" made the community decide to not buy the game upon release out of protest, so then Square Enix decided that the poor sales were due to no one being interested in Deus Ex, and doubled-down on it by cancelling it, despite knowing that the whole "augment your pre-order" campaign was what caused the poor sales. Bastards.

We were supposed to get Mankind Divided, and then the story finish over another game after that!

I'm bitter as shit over that series being dumped. To think of all the crap that company continues to put out, but I can't finish the Adam Jensen story? Nah, feck that.

By the way, the world design of Prague on Mankind Divided is a masterpiece in how to design a small world that feels alive, with verticality and depth.

This was so notable on my recent playthrough. It's absolutely incredible how deep it's smallish (relative to today's games) world is. Puts everything I can think of today to shame.

Absolutely. I exhort you to watch this video made around eight years ago by Game Maker's Toolbox. He puts into words exactly what I feel about the design of the world.

In fact, I think it's essential, especially if you haven't played this game, for anyone to check the video below.

 
It's very odd how in the era of the remaster/remake Deus Ex is completely ignored.

Even fecking Croc is getting a remaster these days.

There was meant to be one a year ago, but it got canned and to make things worse, they didn't even call the voice actor for Adam Jensen to tell him that the game wasn't going ahead. He found out reading it online.

We're getting Until Dawn and Lollipop Chainsaw remasters before Bloodborne or Deus Ex, it beggars belief.
 
Think I will pick up the Horizon games next to platinum. Never played them. Same as God of War.

They are about to announce a remaster for part 1 so hold on until they do as it will most likely also include dlc

Both very very good games though

They are both around a fiver at CEX so don't mind paying it. I rarely buy a game on release or full price.

Decided to play Tunic before both. Just got the platinum for that. Fun little game, would recommend it!

Will be on about 10:30 I think if you’re still up for it?
 
Plucky Squire is good fun. Very innovative. Let’s you play around with it and funny that they’ve accounted for all scenarios when you switch words around.
