I'm done with the PS5 beta - no point in playing any more as I've seen all there is to see. Gonna give the PC one a go when it's available and then make a decision. I did seem to notice more campy spots today and in some parts of the maps, enemies are really difficult to spot. I've turned off a lot of the effects like film grain and motion blur but there's just so many particle and post-processing effects in play, it's quite jarring at times especially the bullet spread. Also the interface for the post-match report is incredibly cluttered and you can't see all your rewards or unlocks and also the challenge sidebar overlaps your team line up which is kinda silly because 66% of the screen is taken up by empty space or an area which could easily accommodate the small menu. Even minimised, it still sits nastily on the screen. The lack of feedback on how to unlock weapons does not sit well and I hope they ditch this whole tech tree nonsense altogether - having to level up AR's to get an unrelated SMG is a bit daft really. I did have some good games and entertaining matches but I can't really say if I was having much fun overall. I do like how they've added an FOV slider and many other graphical options but I'm looking forward trying this with a mouse and keyboard and higher framerates.

The monthly humble bumble is about £9 and includes 10 more games🤗

Well I've played for just over an hour which means I like it more than mw2019 but that's like saying I'd prefer to piss myself than shit myself. The maps are still too complex, there's too many places to get shot from. Hopefully there will be some better ones at launch. The guns seem to have too much recoil and muzzle flash but maybe that can be toned down with one of the million pointless attachments in the game to give a feel of content. The suppressing blur is also downright annoying and need removing fuck that shit. Not too fussed about the progression it's something you'd get used to. Oh yeah footsteps not as bad as I thought but with how much of a cluster fuck the bad maps are they are needed, ghost is a crutch perk. Unsuppressed weapon fire should show up on the mini map. The whole game is designed for slow campy gamestyle, this is only Cod by name and not the franchise I got into gaming playing.

Damn. Sucks to be Rockstar. Bloomberg pretty much confirmed that these are all legit too, It looks good for early developmental footage, but considering people have been wanting some kind of GTA6 news for some time now, They should've figured something like this would've happened.

Vice City seems to be the name of the setting judging by the metro - could be a district name but more likely the total Florida/Miami location. Protagonists appear to be called Jason and Lucia which fit the Bonnie and Clyde-style rumours revealed ages ago

The guy who leaked GTA6's wanted level

Some early build footage has been leaked and it comes from a credible source that falls in line with things Rockstar have confirmed already. Some GTA V stock assets are being used along with placeholders themselves. Also appears to be running off a PS4 dev kit but that doesn't mean it'll be on that system when it launches. Don't expect these videos to remain up for too long.

I'm done with the beta for now as well. I'll try it again next weekend to see if they add some new maps or modes. Hopefully they fix the bug where you can't unlock attachments for the AK74U.

Statement from Rockstar 30 hours later:-

I don't have that but its on cdkeys for 14.99👀

They haven’t. This seems to be like MW2019. Most often it is final kill but occasionally you get POTG instead.

Played just over an hour earlier (really not sure how people manage to play 50 in these betas) and thought it was an okay game that plays itself very safe. Some of the changes are quite bizarre i.e the unclear unlock system plus the traditional perk format being reduced to two fixed is also weird. It’s nice that the mechanics are less friendly with slide cancelling nerfed and not being able to select 49 perks like in Treyarch games will make it more challenging and users more adventurous with their selections. Crouch walkers seem very hard to spot though if they are right at your feet. I quite liked the farm map but the hotel and market one were a bit average and nothing we haven’t seen before. Some nice detail and aesthetics but nothing exceptional. Killstreaks also didn’t grab me but I’m glad they’ve ditched the stupid POTG and replaced it with the final kill again. I’ll have another go tomorrow but I’m not majorly convinced about buying a game I stopped playing 3 years ago for another two more. It’s decent enough but maybe not £60 decent. Doesn’t quite have the wow factor the original MW2019 initially had because that was a big step up but this one does seem more refined and has less irritations. A lot will depend on the content available at launch - something MW sorely lacked.

Take2Interactive striking down the videos which basically means they are legit🤣

I'll pop this Tweet here then which is a copy of that YouTube video if it gets taken down quickly [DEAD LINK REMOVED - DIDDS] I mean, this games just has to happen. They've built up a huge following that the cash cow of GTA will be ridiculously huge whatever they release on the 74 consoles available today.

Oh fair enough hahaha, that's still pretty fun though! Nice! If we could get a few more people playing it we could do a multiplayer world? 👀

It's one of the games in this month's humble bundle if anyone wants it cheap on PC.

I've been really enjoying it on my PC but I was annoyed it was back-released to PS4. What Characters have you enjoyed playing as the most or did you create your own?
