Good Game ANZ were at the recent EB Expo 2013 in Sydney, where Spec, our intrepid gaming sleuth, checked out both of the upcoming next-gen consoles. Read on for impressions of the two new pieces of gaming hardware goodness that will be making gamers smile in a around a month’s time.
Digital Foundry : Whether it's via FPS Boost or bespoke software upgrades, backwards compatibility on the current-gen consoles delivered an unexpected delight - the ability to liberate older console games from their 30fps limits, running them at 60 frames per second or even higher. FPS Boost did the business for Xbox Series consoles on an impressive range of titles, but there was always the sense that PS5 could do more. It's a hunch that checks out as a range of frame-rate unlocks are available for PS5, covering many must-have games - the major caveat being that only exploitable consoles running on older firmwares are invited to the party.
you love to see new life being breathed into older titles but damn the process to get there. It should be automatic that these work for everyone... not just those who exploit their systems. Really wish Sony and MS would keep this program going officially.
Damn this sucks. I want this shit so bad, but I’m not jailbreaking my console. And frankly I shouldn’t have to. I’m not a tech person, but is it really that hard for developers to unlock the framerate? Or would that have to be a large patch?
Yep, this sucks having to require a jailbreak for something that should be standard in our industry by now. I learned my lesson when PS4 was jailbroken and I didn't keep a console on low firmware for years, but now I'm holding onto two low firmware PS5s specifically because there are features I'll be able to do that you can't do on official firmware, so this will pay off for me soon enough.
From underrated Xbox One launch titles to absolute emperors of the strategy genre, history heads will love these games based around Ancient Rome.
Ryse was awesome, i have no idea why it wasnt recieved well and why we havnt seen another, Rome conquered so much, you could take the action anywhere, and it looked great when xbox one came out, now would be even better.
A detailed look at Gran Turismo 7's new track Grand Valley, judging its evolution from its former design and layout in Gran Turismo 6, side by side.
Just got confirmation my PSVR2 is shipping by 24 hour courier, so I should have it tomorrow! I know nobody else cares, but I had to tell someone lol
GT7 will be my first game, as I want to test out my wheel - so excited - it's going to be awesome!
Forza 5 looking terrific.
Gran Turismo 6 looking same same.
Drive Club having jaggies ?
Appears the X1 might be the hottest spot for racing sims, particularly with those new modular wheels from MadCatz announced.
*Looks at that Green Sport Forza Car With Written Xbox on it!*
I wished if I was there to try out the controllers mysekf, good to know DS4 is getting positive.
I hate racing sims @.@ Give me Burnout, Crashing cars is much more fun
Really wish I could have made it to EBExpo this year.
Forza & Driveclub LOOKED pretty identically god to me...GTA6 was more impressive than both considering it was running on PS3's, so I'd take this shit with a grain of salt...Dead Rising 3 looked very underwhelming & played more repetative than anything else I've ever played, my friend & I both walked away from our game, before our time was even up......Ryse looked pretty nice when I was way back, then when I walked up close it looked barely better than a 360 game graphically. So, MS fanboys, I wouldn't be declaring victory just yet, as nothing excelled on either console & screamed out welcome to next gen, & that includes the one I was most looking forward to in Killzone:SF....I only played the MP & 1 map, so I'm hoping it was a bad representation, as everyone knows that some maps can be darker, less colorful & such than others, & also, EVERY shot & gameplay vid I've seen of the single player campaign depicts a totally different beast to the MP.
Regardless, I have my PS4 locked in with a pre-order, & will be getting KZ:SF, Knack, Watchdogs, Assassins Creed:BF, COD:Ghosts, BF4, as well as the maybe's in Driveclub, The Crew & a handfull of D/L-able games. And I know my investment will keep on paying off over the gens lifespan.
