People must be experiencing some pants shortages or something! Literally every local headline in the UK is their own Primark Store having queues a mile long.

Sony have been known to have clear-cut exclusives in place so for any of their in-house studios to be in limbo or being directed to rehash projects, it's a bit of a concern. A year ago, a new Uncharted would have been an absolute certainty. I think quite a few people are worried about exclusives finally drying up and with Bethesda joining Microsoft and potentially others like Konami in talks, it could lead to some long term concerns in a general lack of games available. It's great we're getting a new God of War and Horizon this year and Gran Turismo next but Sony should really be having a conveyor belt of exclusives set in stone already and certainly not a remastered remake which is a waste of resources.

I don't really know what's going on with Sony or why they think releasing a game that's not even 10 years old for a third time is a good idea. Sounds like they don't want to take any 'risks' with a Days Gone sequel or Uncharted 5 but instead they'll play it ultra-safe and rehash a remaster instead of commissioning something new or allowing their in-house teams to produce what they wish. Days Gone took ages to make at a high cost and although it still made a profit, it wasn't up to their usual exclusive standards. Naughty Dog have also turned into woke extremists trying to appease journalists more than please gamers so it would seem Sony are trying to keep them under control without having to lose the studio as a whole. It's very strange that Sony would take this stance unless there were serious concerns especially with their exclusive options being as limited as they are already. I don't believe a TLOU Remaster Remake will bring in much money either despite it being a proven classic. Sounds like the studios will be kept on the books but they wont receive any significant backing until they find something solid to work on.

There will probably be 5 playable maps at launch😅 Last we heard, Sledgehammer were virtually disbanded and now they are making a full game from scratch on an 18 month cycle during a pandemic? It's got bad news written all over it. The amount of money Activision makes, they don't even need an annual release these days. As soon as it was announced as a WW2 game, I knew it was gonna struggle.

A single 2tb drive wouldn't make any significant difference to the cost from a manufacturing standpoint compared to the same drive with a 1tb capacity. They likely don't want to impact the estimated component prices in the drive market by being too generous and obviously wanting to milk this aspect for a couple of years at least. By the end of 2023 we'll probably see 2tb PS5 Pro Slims 30% cheaper than the base model right now with very little change to the production costs compared to now.

Outriders Demo - First Thoughts
J4MES OX4D replied to J4MES OX4D's topic in RPG / Action / Adventure
Oh dear, this is rather amateur Outriders player discovers 23GB of crash dumps stuffed in a Windows folder | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM If you've been wondering where your free C drive space has been going, look here. -
Probably because they possibly have an official drive in the works or they are cutting a deal with an existing manufacturer. Doesn't look like they wanted users to rush out and buy any 3rd party crap from day one. Both Microsoft and Sony have fucked gamers over though - 1tb is a shockingly low amount especially when there is less than 70% that is usable. Warzone takes up 1/3 of the console right off the bat. The only reason I know my storage is fine is cos I have jack shit installed on it!

They are remastering a remaster of The Last of Us😔 Days Gone 2 and Uncharted 5 also cancelled by Sony which is a major blow too. I honestly cannot believe they’re doing TLOU a third time - total milkage! https://www.eurogamer.net/amp/2021-04-09-naughty-dog-reportedly-working-on-the-last-of-us-remake

Cyberpunk Apology and Refunds
J4MES OX4D replied to GazzaGarratt's topic in RPG / Action / Adventure
The 1.2 update released the other week without much fanfare and it had probably the largest patch notes I have ever seen with hundreds of supposed fixes and improvements. Performance doesn't seem to have improved greatly as the console version is still aiming for the bare minimums. I saw some PS5 footage the other day too and I was absolutely staggered at how much of the game had been scaled back - there were literally no cars or pedestrians anywhere and assets were still struggling to render. If the game felt dynamically dead before then it must feel exceptionally barren now. The visuals have been downgraded in places too. Some interface and bug improvements but nothing significant despite the comical numbers of issues supposedly addressed. I just don't know how long they can keep scrapping away - soon they'll have to remove all non-story NPC's along with vehicles and start stripping environmental assets because there doesn't seem to be much space for them to maneuver to drastically improve overall performance. Doesn't look like the game is even close to returning to the PS Store especially if Sony stand firm. -
I bought the PS4 version for my PS5 and it did not go well Some major rendering issues which not only look shite but also further impacted the gameplay. Thankfully I managed to pull off a miracle:- Very disappointing outcome but I didn't buy a PS5 to play games that look like a PS2 version at times. Really not sure why this occurred especially when the PS4 version appears fine Anyhow, delighted I managed to get a refund from Sony and I'll put my money into something else. Shame as I was looking forward to playing this over Easter but I really can't be bothered in dealing with issues like this.

There's not too much out this year and many big names have been delayed until next year but there's still a few that are worth checking out. I'm planning on getting soon:- Total War Rome Remastered [PC] Resident Evil Village [PS5) Deathloop [PS5] Summer looks a bit barren and many release dates are still yet to be confirmed with just prospective a 2021 set but Final Fantasty 7 Integrade [PS5] may keep me going for a bit and I didn't bother picking up the original remake. The second half and towards the end of the year there is:- God of War Regnarok [PS5] Far Cry 6 [PC] Diablo 2 Resurrected [PC] Battlefield 6 [PC] PES 2022 [PS5] There's still plenty of others to consider like Horizon Forbidden West and iffy releases such as Halo Infinite but there's probably just enough to keep me going without savaging the wallet too much. Definitely no Call of Duty for me this year so I'll be able to put my money for that towards a more deserving title.
