Strange it’s not day one on PS5.
I guess it’s to keep game pass ultimate in a sort of gets it first selling point.
Or maybe yet again Xbox are changing tactics, either way the usual Xbox not having an over arching strategy, more it depends on the game and weather 🤣

Was never going to be anything special really and didn’t expect anything.
FH6 was nice to see, maybe gameplay next time.

More interested today now to see how Ghost of Yotei reviews at 2pm UK time.

@Coletrain
There is plenty in stock at Argos and Smyths toys around where I live. 🤣
I’m joining in for fun.

Watched the show it was ok, but not much for me, maybe I’m getting older but was still not like the old PS4 Sony, and that’s coming from a Pro owner.
Now my attention turns to my series x and GPU, with Outerworlds 2, NG4 and COD.

@Coletrain
Great shout out to me, thank you. 🤣
I’ve gone way past caring about Xbox now.

Won’t be picking this up after reading and watching some reviews.
For me it needed to start better and have more enemies and weapon options and longer for the money.
I’m more of resistant evil village gamer.

Hopefully I’m still alive when this releases, I’m getting on a bit now.

@BAMozzy
I’m a big only campaign player for both.
So will play COD campaign on GPU
And see if the BF6 campaign is worth paying for. Or wait maybe up to a year for BF6 to appear in EA Play with GPU, will be patched to perfection by then 🤣

Me thinks someone realises COD has some competition this year BF6.

GPU has been pretty good this year and we have, Outerworlds 2 and NG4 to come yet.

When I look at third party I just the feel the quality of these AAA games that have spent 5 years plus in development, a lot of them haven’t hit the 90 meta plus and stuck around low to mid 80s. So not hot the mark.
ACS, BL 4 and SHf as examples. I really feel I have not missed out on much.
I mean who releases a game that gets a lower Framerate as you keep playing 😖

Great reviews until the last 3. I read Push Square before any others.
Not sure about this one.
Also next month there is Yooka reply.
Also GPU Outerworlds 2 and NG4.

I’m very surprised only 4 enemies not including bosses.
A 15 hour game could have at least 8 enemy types. Seems a bit lacking there.

Doom dark ages series x GPU.
Demo, Yooka and sonic racing
Both good demos.

@TheKracken
Yep keep blowing up the planet for lithium mining.
They are even getting some metals from the bottom of the ocean now.
So so sad to see that.

@BigShot203
I don’t me stated on Ford 🤣
I used to be UK Ford loyalist until they but tiny engines in the Ford focus UK.
So last year they lost my £33k and I got a new Honda Civic Sport.
And in the UK Ford have become almost nothing now and probably the rest of Europe, I say that with a heavy heart.
God rest the old UK Ford heart and soul.

Will be interesting if Sony follow with price increases.
They can get away with it more now.

I’m sure the world and all these companies are mugging us off.
Food increases and electrical items etc.
Then roll in the quarterly reports and they all making record profits.

Mmmmmm, I have not got any of the main 3s processes and operations after the first two years of this current generation.
However Microsofts has been the most up and down and strange and secretive.

Will be at work UK.
Maybe a trip to the toilet 🤣

@RiverGenie
Yep totally agree just imagine some of the big games we have had without ray tracing.
We would have a higher native resolution, more level of detail, better draw distances and better and more stable frame rates.

What is ray tracing, a thing in gaming to keep people buying more powerful hardware.
Mainly in the PC world, but consoles as well, next generation.

The most sold units Switch and maybe switch 2. So underpowered and no ray tracing. in say MK8, BOTW etc and they will and have sold more than any game really.
Even GTA 5, no ray tracing there.

Correct me if I’m wrong but one reason they are getting these great results is we don’t have the big burden of ray tracing on consoles.
Absolutely the right decision if correct.

Going on meta scores is it just me or this long into the PS4, Xbox one and switch era.

We were getting far better scoring games sort of 89 plus to mid 90s
Nowadays it all seems mid to low 80s.

Just downloading sonic racing.

Not great, probably will be the same using quick resume.
They need to fix this.

@Millionski
Probably but it’s the right way to do it.

That is the right way to leave a company.
Pure professional and dignified.
I salute you.

Well at least somethings must be going right and moving forwards, with NG4 releasing soon and on GPU.

Not for me I have a series x and also great write up.
You should be in charge of Microsoft’s console PR, if it actually existed.

Will wait for reviews etc to make sure it’s worthy, then might purchase.

Also not having ray tracing on consoles will help massively allow extra LOD and very good FPS.
To me ray tracing has hindered this console generation for the worse.

Just finished the yooka reply demo.
Seems a lot more polished and proper camera controls etc.
shall buy this one in October.

Ninja Gaiden 4 & Outer World's 2
For me. 2 hopefully great games.

@Millionski
MP4 had a very low key video on Nintendo direct. Got me concerned so not thinking 90 plus now.

Correct me if I’m wrong but NOT one NEW game from a Sony or Xbox studio in the top 10 all formats.

As always 60fps for me with VRR engaged on the TV.

Played just over 2 hours on GPU and seems a delightful little cute game.
I’m lost and have not a clue what I’m really doing but it’s good.

@Ricky-Spanish
Indy, just finishing the main campaign and collectibles then onto the dlc.

Giving Hallow knight ago, I’m totally lost after an hour or so, enjoying but have not a clue what I’m sort of doing 🤣🤣🤣

Definitely Yooke demo for sure.

@Ricky-Spanish
Yep 30 to 60fps is a great improvement and I always play at 60fps.
I try 120fps for fun and the difference is very small playing wise and you then get the resolution drop etc.
Total waste of time gimmick 120fps for single player campaign parts of all games.

Maybe high end multiplayer COD battles it might help.

See a developer that has put the time, effort and learning into Unreal 5, that’s really all this moaning about Unreal 5 is.
Good old fashioned hard work and effort.
Can’t wait to see what results the coalition get with Gears E Day.

Outerworlds 2 and Ninja 🥷 4.
That’s me sorted for a while then.

@16BitHero
Well said.

@NobodyDom
I thinks a fancy technology to soon and games do suffer front it. Especially on consoles where you can’t upgrade.
I believe it’s totally done to get the PC people to buy hardware to keep up.
And makes us consoles owners buy the next generation of consoles.
It is all a bit over the top and money grabbing by the businesses.

Yep ray tracing for me has been a stranglehold on consoles this generation, creating lower base resolutions and struggling frame rates and lower levels of detail and probably longer development times and cost.

For me I have always preferred native 4K and 60fps and a reduction on all the fancy stuff.

Good choice to keep it off battlefield 6.

@Kaloudz
Yes you would have thought, that the studios the business has to make a profit or at least break even over a certain period of time.

@Kaloudz
That’s a view point, they could close in a few years once sea of thieves support is finished.

Not sure who is left there from the old BK days, else they could have worked on a 3d platform game.
But getting one to say Mario Odyssey or DKB level of standard will be a big ask.

Any idea what Rare are working on now
Anything new?

GPU has me covered for this one.

@Ricky-Spanish
Also the Coalition helped on Unreal 5 testing and proofing out.

@ElectricWizard
Correct series x has the better VRR and both versions.
PS5 only uses one version and stops at 48 so doesn’t work as low down at 40.
Also with PS5 you have to have HDMI 2:1
Series X you can use VRR in HDMI 2:0 as well as 2:1.

This is one reason why as a console the series x is better than PS5 to me.

Unreal 5 will shine with Gear E day on series x with the Coalition.
