J4MES OX4D

Out now on PS5 and Steam.  I bought it and gave it a quick go on launch day.  Did Anyone else pick this up?  It looks like it could be a fun one with some FGers.

Ok so it’s time for an update, as we now have 3 games with an OpenCritic score! 
 
Suicide Squad: 60
Foamstars: 64
Helldivers 2: 84 
 
Player scores so far:
@J4MES OX4D = 8
@Luseth = 1
@Andy_White_07 = -2
Me = -4 … 😔
 
Skull and Bones and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth up next, here’s hoping I can get back to a positive score soon!! 

Its definitely looking like they've done the right thing of leaving it as it is with just upscaled graphics in parts. Surely the D-Pad is the best way to play the game still given the fact that most ledges to jump up and puzzles require you to be more on the correct right angle?

The control's are horrendous but you can change them but will take some getting use to or should I say remember them.
One aspect I do like pressing the options button switches between the remaster and old style graphics.
It's quite odd seeing Lara with a more round bust rather than triangles 😂

Already got the ps4 and ps5 versions installed so will hopefully get to play it today at some point as it's almost 4 am and I've been smashing out power was simulator of all games.

I've seen a few videos on it, I'm actually thinking they've done a decent job with it, so yeah fair play 🙂

You can switch between the new and classic graphics so hopefully the latter will have modern support for higher resolutions too. Looks more like AI upscaled than a proper remaster I must admit although I don't mind that they haven't drifted too far from the aesthetics and style. Not sure how the gameplay will hold up overall though

I've heard it's only Silent Hill by name and everything else is pretty lame. Pity because the PT demo we had a decade or so ago was epic! Silent Hill 2 remake has also raised some surprise concerns that the developers (who are not very popular for numerous reasons) have missed the point and are trying to turn it into Resident Evil. 

You always generate some great screenshots @J4MES OX4D
 
I do have some of my own for a change from the new ffvii demo -

Im keeping an eye on this whole situation, there are a couple of xbox games I would love to see on ps5, especially forza horizon

If this happens then it’ll be the final nail in the coffin for Microsoft surely in competition terms? It would destroy the entire point of owning an Xbox and the game pass on its own is just not sustainable or attractive enough plus the machines are technically inferior. The fact this has even been considered is just insane and it will kill any future credibility they have with ‘exclusives’. They were already desperate enough as it is with such few options. Makes you wonder if they will abandon consoles in the future and just do streaming as previously suggested. This situation is very similar to the Sega saga. The Bethesda acquisition has been a disaster so far and the Activision takeover isn’t going to change anything other than where the profits are diverted. Microsoft are incredibly boxed in right now and running out of options.

8 reviews for Suicide Squad now, OpenCritic score is currently at 60. A long way to go but if it stays at this score, that’ll be +5 points for @J4MES OX4D and -2 points for myself and @Andy_White_07!!
 
 

Leaked footage of Neversoft's cancelled Call of Duty title has emerged. This was due for release in 2013 but replaced by Infinity Ward's Ghosts who then went on to make their own space game in 2016 with Infinite Warfare. Looks like they produced a few campaign missions plus there was a lot of MP groundwork completed before the project was binned off. Hopefully more footage will be posted soon and I wonder if modders can get their hands on it and make a playable build..
 

There's really not much new in this space aside from the above. I'd probably say Remnant 2 which is a cross between The Division and Bloodborne.
