Meh.
The only people who really seem to care is some petty Playstation owners because it gives them the opportunity to go nah, nah, nah-nah, nah.

@Fiendish-Beaver
And they already fleece the Playstation faithful with the closed garden on digital purchases.

How they continue to get away with that practice, I don't know.

Unfortunately the use of AI (that MS are heavily investing in) may be the only way to achieve the 30% profit margin the suits are demanding, once there are layoffs.

@dskatter
Hadn't noticed, not really the point of the article at all.

@Banjo-
"Maybe it's his nod to games crossing platforms combined with PS games literally melting your face off on the Pro."

Ah, doesn't seem that momentous now. Maybe 18 months ago it would have seemed a bigger deal.

Lol, the author getting mixed up with literally and virtually. Or perhaps if you sit too close to that PS5 fan blasting out heat 😂

@dskatter
"Huh. Hell has officially frozen over."

?

@Banjo-

Don't think an Xbox game has ever scored higher than a 8 on PS.

Even Forza Horizon 5 couldn't get higher - was marked down for having "too much content" 😆

Push Square, an outlier again.

The reviewer states that they really liked the first game (which they gave an 8) and likes this one even more, then gives it a 7.

Goes on to say they wish they could take back the score they gave the first game...

Shareholders gotta get their dividends.

@IOI
More amusing is posters who couldn't believe that Sony Godstation could possibly be doing something worse than Xbox - and then getting their asses handed to them 😂

@RiverGenie
Did you remember to use the list that tells you which part has that spec on it? 🙂

Geeze, PS being stingy as always.
Saving the high scores for Playstation 1st and 3rd party exclusives as per.

@dskatter
" It can wait till 2028, and my fellow PS owners won’t miss much."

Do you represent a PS owners club or something?

Didn't much care for the game either, but I wouldn't presume to speak for others.

@Medic_alert
Perhaps the internals?
Hardware, cooling methods.

Nice. Sounds good.

@EfYI
"2. Have you ever visited Push square? There's droves of green team fans there doing the sort of mental gymnastics you seem to complain about."

There would be a lot less if PS stopped writing quite so many articles concerning Xbox.

Some of them are pure console war bait designed to get clicks (from both camps).

Control Ultimate Edition at £3.49 is an absolute steal.

Interesting, in-depth review 👍

Got to mention though: is it just my imagination or has there recently been a big increase in the use of italics?

Oh no, only 19gb on the PS5 version...
Another article/rant on PushSquare incoming (while again ignoring Sony not including ANY discs in their expensive collectors editions...).

Sackbird?
So named for the folks that got the sack? 😂

@awp69
Been thinking that too.
Perhaps AMD have 2 separate teams working with MS and Sony?
So ideas for each platform don't bleed over to the other.

@Friendly
Think the 75 day one releases are more about providing a larger choice.

@Fiendish-Beaver
Eneba and Kinguin are other ones I use.
Gamivo have some good deals too, but be careful with the membership it attempts to add to your basket.

@Fiendish-Beaver
That's the difference 3rd party key resellers can make. Sony in particular are bleeding their user base dry by forcing them to buy through the Playstation storefront.

Don't think enough is made of this stark contrast.

BTW - other key sellers are available 🙂

Geeze, PushSquare are hard taskmasters, games rarely seem to score high unless they are exclusives or first party.

Gave this a try today - great game, very moreish.

Hang on, I keep reading that Xbox owners have been trained like monkeys to not buy games...?

@carlos82
Apparently it's somehow worse on the PS5 Pro...

Do devs bother with testing these days?
Why spend time and resources when the end user customer mugs will do it for them.

Gamers are less and less going to buy games at launch and just pick them up in sales later on, by which time they're patched and fixed.

Great game.

There's a lot to do, with much switching between vehicles.

Co-op is the way to go if possible.

Will probably get this.
Enjoyed the other 2 'diffirent' lego games, Builder's Journey and Bricktales.

@SMJ
Think it's just down to preference. I do find it easier to do on the right side of the controller than the left.

Us older folks that grew up with ever changing controller options and layouts have had to adapt our grip over the years from one button Atari controllers onwards.

I suppose if one were to pick up a controller for the first time now they would probably find it more intuitive to use both middle and forefingers.

@SMJ
"Why is the guy at the end of the video using the triggers with his middle fingers???"

To leave their forefingers free for the bumpers, is that odd? (I do it sometimes...seems to help, depending on the game)

@Millionski
"Seems like if you dont want to wait the best combo is ps6+S2."

Maybe not, if the next Xbox has Steam.

Will give this a shot (ha, pun) for sure.

@VeganH
Not that "alarming" - all things that can be sorted via updates.

Better not to have them out the box sure, but not exactly a deal breaker.

Yeah, just bought Roadcraft last week 🫤
It happens sometimes I guess.

@BacklogBrad
Ultimate edition was released on PC 10 years ago.

That VRR lower range the Series X has of 40 coming into play, rescuing a stutter here, a screen tear there.

Think the PS5 VRR lowest rate is 48?

@Balaam_
I was wondering about "...on gamepass" also.

@Kezelpaso was the question specific to people accessing the game through gamepass (i.e. not including people who purchased or received a free copy through owing the previous remaster).

Research? 🙃

@Weebleman

"said they were having trouble getting it running on xbox."

Conspiracy theories aside, that didn't stop them releasing it a mess on PS5.

Taking advantage of the huge amount of PS5 users perhaps to make a quick buck?

@Fiendish-Beaver
Agreed. I had just previously made a similar comment over there.

Been playing this for years on PC. Have purchased all the official map extensions DLC for Ets2 and also use Promods further map extensions.

Won't be buying them again though. Wonder why it's taken the developer so long to make a console version and then why now? 🤔

Reading this article again, the "Get ready to experience the future" line from the blurb makes it sound something bigger than 'just' a controller. If it is, it would have to be a revolutionary to come close to that hype.

@Project13
As cynical as I have become also regarding the Xbox management and direction at times, I can't see them being mad enough to disenfranchise the current user base by nerfing access to their libraries on the next Xbox machine.

Start using hall-effect sensors in their controllers.

After having 3 develop drift, I'd maybe start buying them again.

@Kaloudz
"Ugh PopCap!!"

Now don't you be dumping on PopCap, won't hear it, their PC games were legend. EA ruined them.

@IOI
"most people with Xbox console just don’t buy games"

In that case it's a wonder why studios bother at all porting. And Microsoft themselves have just added another 50 xbox titles to the "stream your own games" feature. What a waste that is with no xbox owners actually owning games :/

PushSquare giving it a 7 in 3, 2, 1...

Never played the originals so this looks like a great jumping in point.
