should have been a next gen game from start. just first stepping out into the streets from apartment... last gen consoles cant handle that density and scale and variety in assests

CP2077 is magnificent on Series X quality mode, anyone who thinks this looks like any other open world game is straight delusional.

 

[SlimySnake]

Yeah, I was responding to someone else, I think. But yeah you're right..you would think they would have outsold the X1. That's why I think it's possible the base shrunk due to this past generation. We'll see though. With all this going on, I think in 6 months to a year from release we'll probably be seeing how this thing will go as far as sales.

I think it's going to be a tough slog for Microsoft since they don't have the games out to help sell the system. They are obviously pushing and banking on gamepass anyway but they DO need strong sales of the S/X in order to recoup the monstrous R&D dollars they spent developing the hardware. Plus....cloud gaming just isn't that strong right now so they're counting on hardware and software sales to buoy them until as they hope, gamepass takes off and they start making crazy money from it.

The problem with gamepass is that ac Valhalla, cod, watch dogs, cyberpunk or even b games like dirt 5 are not on there. Just having old games isn't good enough when you launch with zero new games on the service.

I'm almost kinda relieved CDPR hired another dev to make a next-gen version of The Witcher 3, lmao.

In a more serious note, this practice of announcing a game (which might not even begun development yet) and already giving it a launch date/window has to be dropped ASAP. This might not be a problem in and of itself, but it does lead to crunch, delays, releasing a broken game, etc.

Maybe a more pressing issue to address is that of delaying a game but already giving another release date - it only adds more crunch, bad press, and further delays, should it not meet the new deadline.

I'm not a game dev or anything, so feel free to correct me!

 

[Zheph]

I’m enjoying the game on PS5 boys it’s not a revolution but it’s pretty good IMO. Wait for that upgrade if you are not as impatient as me

45% higher average frame rate and resolution

Posts a pic showing average framerate of 56.23 v 59.72, then claims a 45% higher average frame rate.

I mean, fuck me. How more stupid can somebody look?

(no offence meant, but seriously).

 

[MistBreeze]

I went back to ghost of tsushima on ps5

I only did 50% of my first playthrough on ps4 pro

and now completing it on ps5 and oh boy thank god I did not complete it on ps4

This game in 60fps is glorious ... it is the way it meant to be played

 

[thurnishaleygw]

CP2077 is a very ambitious game and get a free pass for a lot of the shit happening.

You can`t compare it with the millioneth version of assassins creed.

Quality is quality, I don't care about "ambitious" as an excuse. I welcome it as a vision, but it shouldn't get in the way of quality. All I'm comparing it for is because of the hypocrisy I perceive in calling out some developers (rightly so, I'm not denying that) while not having the same quality standard for others.

But of course, this is just my two cents on the matter, not to be taken too seriously. I'm still going to play it when they deliver next-gen versions, but, as of now, the game is what it is on consoles.

45 percent better frame in that moment doc!

 

[LucidFlux]

From someone who put 250 hours on BOTW, I think HZD is better.

Trust me I've tried to get into HZD several times, but for whatever reason it never holds me.

 

[FunkMiller]

Me either. I think it’s the weird, robotic characters that put me off. Couldn’t get behind the whole Dances With Wolves, earth mother stuff either. The whole thing just felt so empty of proper personality.

This hard on for Codemasters seems a bit weird. Doesn’t feel like they’ve made anything recently to demand this kind of attention.

So not average then like you stated? Just checking! All good.

 

[realcool]

Let's hope so. It makes no sense to release it on XBO. It won't be good, we know it.

Also:

You can do that, too, if you unlock "Biker Boyz" skill tree.

So this is the twitter profile that was going to take PS5 APU shots.

WTF is this?

[Metroiddarks]

My feelings while I playing Cyberpunk 2077 (PC version):

Don't get me wrong I really like this game but is start to reminding me Skyrim for how easy is find
bugs and some poor NPC behaviours, CD Projekt Red said a couple of years ago they want to be
something like Rockstar but this game is closer to be from Bethesda than Rockstar just with much
better graphics.

Also I am expecting the people in PC stop pretending DLSS make your game always look better or
equals than the native resolution, DLSS even in quality mode looks blurrier than native.

Note: the skin material is a little disappointing specially for a AAA first person with this requirements in 2020.

[HawarMiran]

Cyberpunk 2077 is a perfect example of why I want Sony first party to stay exclusive forever. I don't give a fuck if you bring it to PC 3 years down the line. It seems so hard for multiplat studios to get to the level of polish of Sony first party. Recent exceptions I can remember now are, ID Software and Rockstar Games

 

[Insane Metal]

Nand Flash, Dram under X-Ray

Why would they post this...........................................................

 

[LivingD3AD]

Good question

 

[Arioco]

And we're still waiting for that PS5 SoC shot.

 

[roops67]

The tag "Power Your Dreams" would have been more fitting for Sony

 

[Loxus]

Probably to let us know the APU shot is still coming.

But what about that sub-die. Does not make sense really....

They posted another picture, completely unrelated to PS5. I think that's a scam.

They trying to pull in subs. Literally just creating tension

75 hours in Days Gone on PS5 and I’m blown away by what I’ve experienced. Game is gorgeous in terms of gameplay, story and the world. I’m not going to talk spoilers I’m just gonna take a breath and say this game is underrated, the media is ignoring beautiful games such as Days Gone. No game out there is perfect but Days Gone is a 9 out of 10 for me. I’m interested in story so much and really immersed in the world. When you care about something you love in a ruined world, you’re going to do what you gotta do just to reach your destination, that’s what this game is offering to me. Riding in a beautiful world but yet a scary one is just amazing. I experienced a lot of emotions during the story and fuck this game is doing good in that.


The soundtrack is on point. If I’m allowed to recommend a game right now I’ll say Days Gone will never disappoint.

 

[ArcaneNLSC]

Agreed probably the only thing MS marketing/PR have got right was basically steal use something that doesn't apply to them. Their slogan should of been more in the line of subscribe to mediocrity

Oof, you didn't even meet anybody but the Nora? I guess it's great if you know a game isn't for you that early.

Will the PS5 die shot be the beginning of the end for this thread

Too true

Now thinking of it again, "Power Your Dreams" IS the perfect 'Xbox Series X' slogan... cos dreams is all they got!

 

[Larvana]

Uhhh why are you comparing when one console has performance/quality and the other does not, doesn't make sense to comparing atm, come back next year.

 

[Emmy]

Elden Ring will have a similar fate. Just wait.

 

[Lunatic_Gamer]

Jesus Christ that was actually painful to watch. Poor PS4 and Xbox One. Both have seen better days.

It's not meant to be againts Sony or Playstation.

yeah but it looks like PS5 got the COVID version

Nah. Cyberpunk actually came out.

I have to wonder how Stadia has Cyberpunk, but not GamePass...

 

[Raoul_Duke]

You have to pay for games on stadia.

 

[Garani]

This is the bare minimum, but I actually have a serious problem with this "wait and we'll patch it" approach.

When I paid day one money, they asked for all of it in full and making sure it was not counterfeit. They wanted legal tender in exchange for a license. And the consumers have decided to accept the contract because they wanted a day one product, something new and shiny that has a precise relevance in the market. Of course week one and two patches are welcome and understandable, but now we are talking patches that should be deployed in 3 months time.

What is going to be the fair market value of the product in 3 months down the line? A lot less than what is being asked for today. So no thank you: give me my refund and I'll re-evaluate in 3 months time.

 

[Garani]

I have to wonder how Stadia has Cyberpunk, but not GamePass...

Stadia is a platform: you pay for the priviledge of renting computational time. Then you will have to buy licenses for the software/games that will run on that. Oh, and you'd have to buy those licenses exclusively from Stadia's store

Unrelated but just wondered has anyone noticed YouTube and Google is down!!

google is working in the UK, youtube is down however. Looks like a predominantly Europe issue though some people are posting about it from other places on the planet.

My son came in my studio to inform me of that (he is doing distance learning and uses Google Classroom).

I care not: I have to doother work unrelated to Google services

Google outage caused because someone came too close to getting the PS5 die shot.... The Illuminati just won't allow it to happen.
